| Sailor Moon Act 13: Petite Stranger By Naoko Tacheuchi |
|
Sailor Moon raises the Moon Wand high above her head with the blossomed Silver Imperium Crystal giving off light, calling "On behaf of the Moon, you're punished!!" She unleashes an attack so powerful it lights the area, but Metalia does not budge. Tuxedo Mask tells her not to give up, and Sailor Moon is determined to win. Sailor Moon needs more power to defeat Metalia and calls upon the "Great Power of the Moon." The sword and morphing pens laying next to the fallen Sailor Scouts release their power. On the moon, Luna and Artemis watch as the Crystal Tower of Prayer grows back. Luna remembers Queen Serenity telling her to pray to the Tower if anything happened, then the moon would protect them. Luna realizes Bunny is fighting on Earth and her prayers made the Crystal Tower regrow. Luna fights with her, by giving Bunny her spirit from the moon. The Great Power of the Moon is released, causing a blaze that even the sightless Tuxedo Mask can feel. The "true light" of the moon shines down, Metalia eagerly goes toward it, the power she has been searching for. But, she cannot reach it, the power starts to blow her away. Sailor Moon calls upon the light of the Crystal, and directly hits the mark on Metalia's forehead. The great blast destroys Metalia and knocks Sailor Moon to the ground. Her transforming brooch is shattered and she morphs back to Bunny as she lands. On the moon, Luna tells Artemis that they have beaten the enemy. Both cats look up and see the Moon Castle standing before them. Luna speculates that Bunny's Imperium Crystal has rebuilt it with her victory. Back on the Earth, Tuxedo Mask looks up, noticing the moon has returned to it's normal soft glow. He reaches down to find out how badly the Earth was damaged. "My planet...It's only been scratched a bit..." which he determines will soon heal. He gathers Bunny's cold body into his arms, and gives her a kiss. She slowly opens her eyes, and they see each other. They see each other as Endymion and Serenity for the first time in their conscious selves. Rejoiced, they embrace, the Princess awakened "by the prince's kiss..." A picture of her friends flashes in Bunny's mind. She worriedly wonders what happened to them. Tuxedo Mask holds her hand and reaches his other down to the ground. Through his power of the Earth, Bunny can see visions of the planet. She finally sees her friends, the lifeless figures of Mina, Lita, Amy and Raye sprawled on the ground. She is horrified by what she sees, and then hears Luna's voice calling her to the moon. Bunny tells Luna her brooch is broken and she cannot morph, but Luna instructs her to concentrate on the Moon Wand and "pray to the Silver Imperium Crystal..." Tuxedo Mask holds on as Bunny follows Luna's directions. Soon, they stand upon the moon, facing the rebuilt Moon Castle instead of the ancient ruins. Luna tells Bunny she is the mistress of the Castle, the new Queen. But, Bunny has a family on Earth, love on Earth. Queen Serenity appears, telling her daughter, "This time find happiness, Serenity...with the one you love." The Queen fades away, replaced by a new brooch, into which Bunny places the Imperium Crystal. Luna tells her to call out "Moon Crystal Power Make-Up!" With her new transformation, Bunny morphs into a more powerful Sailor Moon and returns to Earth to save everyone. Using her Moon Wand, Sailor Moon calls out "Moon Healing Escalation" and the people of the planet rise, including Mina, Amy, Lita and Raye. Sailor Moon runs up to them and they all hug. As the sun rises, the friends go back home, together. The next day, the scouts all leave for school, happy and smiling. Even Bunny wakes up on time. Raye is in the temple and reading the fire, seeing a face with a black mark on the forehead, and then the fire went out. An unlucky omen. Raye tries to contact Bunny, but she has already left for school. Bunny spends time with Molly at school, as Raye wishes for the wonderful peace to remain. After school, Bunny goes and meets Darien in the park. She hands him his pocket-watch which she had repaired. Then, he takes her in his arms and kisses her. A light flashes above them, and an odd ball with cat-ears bounces off Darien's head. The sky seems to open up as a small girl comes tumbling after, landing right on top of Bunny's head. Bunny gets up and sees a little girl with pigtails holding on to Darien. Bunny asks who she is, and she snaps around, declaring "I'm Bunny!" Bunny is offended that this little girl not only has the same buns and pigtails as her, but her name as well. Then, suddenly the mysterious girl is holding a gun, telling her to hand over the Silver Imperium Crystal. |
