PGSM - Act Twenty-Seven
Usagi introduces herself and her friends and says that they have been chosen to be Senshi (just in case everyone missed the previous 26 episodes)
But even more surprising than suddenly getting magical powers is the fact that Sailor Venus is not the Moon Princess - Sailor Moon, Usagi is the real moon princess
At least, she was in a past life. Likewise, Mamoru/Tux/Endymion was a prince in a past life.
But right now, Usagi is more concerned about saving Ami from the Dark Kingdom
Darkury is confronted by a small senshi in purple and yellow with a moon wand like Sailor Moon has.
She challenges Darkury to a fight. Darkury is ready to oblige until suddenly, a flash of light makes her stop.
The smaller senshi is happy - this was a test. When Sailor Moon released the Mystical Silver Crystal she weakened the spell on Darkury
With that, the smaller senshi vanishes in a bright purple light.
The yellow and purple senshi is walking along when suddenly she notices her ears and tail. She giggles, jumps into the air, and transforms into CGI Luna
Theme Song
Jadiete quietly kneels before Beryl as she monologues. If the MSC is within the princess's body, it will be very difficult to steal.
He offers to investigate and try to find a possible way to get it. He also tells Beryl that Nephrite hasn't been seen from for awhile (since the last episode)
Nephrite is sitting quietly by himself, watching water drip from the ceiling. He's a failure, and can't do anything right.
Zoisite emerges from his music room and offers to give Nephrite some help.
He flashes back to Act 24 when Darkury repaired his cape for him. He still has it, clenched in his hand. Then he hides under it.
At Crown, Rei and Makoto are examining their tambourines. Makoto tells Rei that they pack quite a punch.
And now that they know that Usagi is the princess, they have to protect her.
Suddenly, Usagi comes running in. She says that Luna told her to hurry to Crown, because the cat has a big announcement.
Usagi grabs the microphone and ponders what the announcement could be - maybe Luna is really a dog. Or maybe she's getting married.
The other two ignore her.
Then she's distracted by shiny things. She pouts because there are only three tambourines, one for Makoto, one for Rei and one for... Ami.
Darkury stands alone. She keeps having flashbacks of when she was not evil. Now the poor evil senshi is just confused.
Usagi walks along home, hoping that soon she will get Ami back when she gets hit on the head by a rock.
She turns to see a little girl with blue hair sitting on the wall.
The little girl scolds her for not being prepared, and she tells her that Ami is starting to return to normal.
Usagi is excited, so excited that it takes her a moment to ask the important question: "Who are you?"
The girl grins and starts to answer the question when a bark from a dog sends her running away screaming from the very scary... very tiny dog.
Meanwhile, Rei is shopping with the little girl - Erika - that hangs out at her temple a lot. They are looking for a game that they can play at a party.
Suddenly, Rei's sixth sense kicks in and she looks around for the presence.
What she finds is the blue haired girl, hiding in a pile of plushies.
She's about to introduce herself to Rei when she gets distracted by a lot of large bouncy balls.
Makoto is cooking. She reaches for pepper and a hand hands it to her. She thanks the hand - in English - then realizes that there should not have been anyone there, so she looks up to see the blue haired girl.
She thinks that the girl is a sprite and she drops the pepper, creating a cloud that makes them both sneeze.
Afterwards, the three girls compare notes and agree to meet up at Crown. Because they have to plan ahead for meeting at Crown, as they never go there.
Then Makoto sneezes and shakes the screen
Usagi realizes that Luna has been missing for awhile.
As Darkury looks at the Moon, her flashbacks get even worse.
Kunzite tells her not to look at the Moon. She belongs to the darkness - that's all she needs to know.
The next day, at Crown, the girls are shocked to see a large pile of empty dishes.
The blue haired girl sits snacking on popcorn
Usagi and Makoto start the twenty questions. Who is she? How does she know about Ami? How does she know about them?
She's about to answer when Usagi's phone rings - it's Ami!
Usagi says that Ami wants Rei and Makoto to meet her at the merry go round. She doesn't want Usagi to go.
Darkury closes her phone with a snap.
Kunzite is pleased that she has challenged the other senshi.
She tells him to stay out of her way, or he will also get hurt.
That just amuses him.
Makoto and Rei hurry to the amusement park, but they don't see anything odd about the merry-go-round, other than that there's no one riding it
Usagi rushes to the generic white building that most of the fights take place in.
She calls for Ami, saying that she did as requested.
Ami, dressed in a black dress-suit outfit, steps out - almost unrecognizable as herself.
Usagi says that she didn't come to fight - she came to get Ami back.
Ami Makes Up into Darkury, and loses no time in pushing Sailor Moon through a door into a large empty room. The two swing their weapons at each other for awhile before Darkury gains the upper hand.
This is mostly because Sailor Moon won't fight.
Just as Darkury is about to strike, she hears a voice that yells stop. For some reason, she stops.
It's the blue haired girl from before. She heard the real phone conversation.
She pulls out a pink cell phone, and calls out "Luna Prism Power! Make Up!" and dials Six-Two-Seven
Then comes her transformation sequence. Luna-the-cat walks around as Luna-the-girl transforms amidst a swirl of cookies and candy.
She's the "Beautiful Sailor Senshi of Love and Everything Little, Sailor Luna!"
She tells Darkury to leave Moon alone, but Kunzite steps in to challenge Luna.
He draws his sword and swings at her, only to discover that she is gone.
Luna may be little, but she move quick, darting around taunting him.
Then she hits him over the head with a large fan.
This annoys him so much that he finally manages to hit her, which forces her to revert all the way back to plushie cat form.
Meanwhile, Darkury and Moon have been swinging their weapons at each other again.
Luna urges Moon not to give up. They almost have Mercury back.
Just as Darkury is about to go in for the kill, she flashes back again to being Ami and Merucry and being friends with Usagi.
She backs off and stares at Moon for a moment.
But then she hits her.
It's getting harder and harder for Darkury to fight against both her memories, and Sailor Moon.
So Moon tries to draw out the fight, in hopes that Ami will remember.
Then Moon's brooch starts to glow, bathing Darkury in a golden light. Ami starts to separate from Darkury, and she softly says Usagi's name.
Unfortunately, Kunzite is on the scene, and he blasts her with his dark power.
Darkury swings her sword down hard on Sailor Moon's wand, shattering it.
Makoto and Rei have given up on Ami showing up and they return to Crown, to find Usagi's note. She's sorry she lied, but she had no choice.
Sailor Moon collapses to the ground.
Darkury looks at her foe victoriously, but then... she flashes back once again.
Ami-in-a-Darkury-costume kneels next to Sailor Moon and calls her name: "Usagi-chan!"
Her eyes grow wide and she throws her sword off to the side, trying to shake her friend awake.
As she lifts her up, Usagi's tiara falls off and cracks in half.
Ami sits there in shock for a moment. And then her eyes unglazed and she screams.
