The Script of the Original Runes of Druid version
What is on this page is the script of the original
version of the Runes of the Druids chapter before I decided to revise
it. I accidentally saved the revised pages over old pages, so some pages
are lost, making it not possible for me to post the original version.
When I first finished the original The Runes of the Druid, I wasn't
happy with how it came out so I just post it and see what happened. Feedbacks
are excatly what I expected of the 1st version.
That old version had been eating at me ever since I posted
it until I finally came up with new ideas to revise the Runes of the
Druids. Now I'm FAR happy with the revised version than this junk (yes,
junk!) version. Heh, I would be baffled if anyone likes the original version
better than the revised version even considering the problems & gaps
in its plotline. Oh well.....^_^;

Usagi looks for any of her friends.
Something touches her neck.
Usagi: "AAAH!" (Jumping into Mamoru's arms, Scoody-Doo style)
Ami smiles, wiggling her finger.
Usagi: "Ami! (Hugging her really hard)
Usagi releases hard breathing Ami.
Usagi: "Don't ever do that to me again."
Ami giggles.
Michiru: "Where's my hug?" (speaking to Mamoru)
Mamoru: "Uh..."
Usagi stares at Michiru and Mamoru.
Michiru: "I'm just teasing." (Giggle)
"Has Haruka arrived yet?"
Mamoru: "Not yet. You're the first two to arrive."
???????: "Hey, we were here before those two!"
Usagi: "Rei?!"
Rei: "Of course, the plane we got off was on the other side of this
huge airport, and we had been looking all over for you!"
Usagi hugs Rei hard!
Usagi wrinkles her nose.
Usagi: "You stink!" (Jumping away from Rei)
She pauses.
Rei is glaring at her.
Usagi: "Look at how tan your skin is!!"
Rei blinks.
She looks at her arms.
Usagi giggles, comparing her pale skin with Rei's tanned skin,
and Rei's impressed.
Michiru: "Rei could pass for your younger sister." (Teasing Setsuna)
Setsuna smiles with a bit of sweatdrop.
Rei: "Is Minako here?" Usagi shrugs.
Rei: "Hmph." (Impatient)
They pass time by exchanging stories.
Announcer: "Rabbit of the Moon, please report to Gate F-10."
Usagi: "Rabbit of the Moon?"
Ami: "Usagi, that's the meaning of your name."
"Oh! I forgot it's supposed to be an English version."
Mamoru: "Let's take a look."
They arrives at the Gate F-10
They notice the Russian military plane out there.
Mamoru: "Looks like some Russian military plane."
Rolling staircase makes contact with the plane.
The door opens.
The guys watch, wondering.
Minako emerges, looking all tired.
She takes on Nixon pose (two "Victory" signs over her head)
She start to topple.
The guys wince (except Rei) as Minako rolls down the staircase.
Rei: "Somehow, it felt good to see that." (Guys glance at her, puzzled)
Haruka emerges out of the plane.
A hand takes hold of her shoulder.
Russian General is there, his expression grim.
He hands Haruka a folder.
Haruka and General shake hands.
Haruka go down the staircase.
General stare after her.
Haruka: "Hey kitten," (grabbing and trousing Usagi's head with her knuckles.)
Haruka finds herself facing the cold expression of Michiru
Haruka: "Michiru...?"
Michiru hugs her tight.
Michiru: "I missed you."
Haruka is groaning is pain.
Michiru: "Oh! Sorry!" (Releasing her)
Haruka kind of faints.
Minako: "Hey guys! Look who's back!"
Ami smiles.
Ami stare at Minako and Minako gets nervous.
Ami parted Minako's trench coat apart.
Minako still wears her Venus uniform (didn't de-transform)
Ami lifts one of her eyebrows.
Haruka: "Minako and War were enjoying a shower together."
Minako: "Haruka!" (Blushing) (Haruka chuckles)
Michiru: "I hope you haven't done anything naughty."
Haruka: "Me? She's the one who's being naughty!" (Laughing nervousily)
Minako: "Me, naughty?!"
Haruka: "Yea, you showed up on that opera theater all na..."
Haruka winces in pain when red-faced Minako punches her in the
side.
Rei glares at Minako.
Minako: "How's Africa?" (Grinning)
Rei glares at her.
Rei: "Why don't you go there and find out."(taping the mailing package
with Minako in it)
Minako: "HEY!"
Rei pauses.
Rei: "Shoot, I don't have money to mail her to Sudan." Snapping her
fingers.(Minako uses Russian knife to get free)
Setsuna: "I would like to have the cell phones back please."
Mamoru and Michiru returns the cell phones.
Setsuna: "And you too, Haruka."
Haruka: "Okay." (Holding up the phone)
Haruka withdraws it before Setsuna grasped it.
Haruka: "I can't help but wonder where did you got these cool cell
phones from."
Setsuna tries to grab the phone from Haruka.
Haruka: "They're more advanced than what we have today."
Setsuna still trying to grab the cell phone.
Haruka: "Come on, tell us."
Haruka grunts in pain, the point of Setsuna's semi-high slippers
is penetrating Haruka's shoe.
Setsuna rescues the cell phone.
Minako: "Oh yeah, how did you got all of those plane reservations on
such short notice?"
Setsuna: "........."
Rei: "I'm not done with you!" (Grabbing Minako)
Rei drags her away.
Michiru: "I would say that she used the Time Gate, since it seems too
coincidental that we arrived here in the same day."
Mamoru: "I had wondered about that too, and why she didn't let us use
the Time Gate."
Michiru: "I asked her about that, but she won't tell me why."
Setsuna: "............." (Not happy)
Usagi: "Rei..."
Ami: "Aren't you little too harsh on Minako?"
Rei: "Harsh? What I went through in Sudan was much worse!"
"I had been numerously bruised, sweated, dying of thirst, cooked
by the heat, sunburned, dirtied, sanded on by sandstorms, farted on by
some smelly camels, perverted on by dirty men, and lectured on by Setsuna."
Rei: "Since Minako made me go there,..."
"In name of Mars, Minako shall be punished!" (Pointing)
Minako: "Help?" (Tied upside down over a fountain pool of water.)
Rei: "I'll be using two old Edo Period punishments, Water Torture and
Bur-Bur on you!"
Minako: "HUH?"
"I'm going to dunk you in water and spin you seven times. That's
the Water Torture."
"During the Bur-Bur phase, the razor sharp bamboo sticks were
used, but I'll be far gentler." (Holding a folded paper fan)
Haruka: "Rei..."
Rei: "What?"
Haruka: "Mind if I join in?"
Minako: "You guys are so cruel..." (Slowly rotating)
Minako blinks as she rotates away from the cruel girls.
Minako: "I see Makoto!!!"
The guys look.
Makoto approaches all alone.
Usagi hugs her.
Michiru: "Where's Hotaru?"
Makoto: "..............."
"Hotaru's at hospital in Germany."
Usagi: "Is she okay?!"
Makoto: "She's in coma, so I don't know."
Setsuna: "But Death was defeated?"
Makoto: "Yeah, she hadn't even transformed, and she used her healing
powers on him."
They stare at her in surprise.
Makoto: "I have an old friend watching over Hotaru."
Minako: "Old friend?"
"What kind of old friend? Someone you used to fall in love with?"
(Makoto glares)
Makoto: "Whatever you're doing to Minako, I want in too." (Minako didn't
like that)
"Anyway, I was hoping that one of you can make arrangements to
have her be transferred to here."
Setsuna: "I can do that." (Very concerned)
Haruka: "Oh, that reminds me." (Checking the pockets)
"I thought that this would make up for what you paid for our
trips." (Handing the Russian check)
Setsuna's brows raise, looking at the check.
Setsuna: "Ami, what's the current exchange rate?"
Ami's computer beeps.
Setsuna chuckles, Haruka gets puzzled.
Setsuna: "This three million Rubles are worth 32400 yens."
Haruka looks at her, really shocked and disappointed.
Ami holds a sign with "$295 US dollars" on it toward the readers.
"I appreciate such gesture through."
Setsuna leaves Haruka looking as if Death had taken her soul.
Setsuna: "For a moment, I thought I had a chance of getting my own
sports car..."(Michiru rescues Haruka's "soul")
Mamoru: "Guys, we got some bad news."
Haruka: "Same here."
Guys look at Mamoru & Haruka.
Mamoru: "But not here. We need to go somewhere more private."
The guys follow Mamoru.
Minako: "Hey, you forgot about me!" (Struggling, and still upside down)
Rei: "Oh yeah.." slapping her fist on her hand
The rope gets loose.
Minako get dunked in water.
Minako emerge out of water, splitting water.
Minako: "At least, my Sailor uniform is waterproof."
She pauses, holding her wet hair up.
Minako: "My hair is not..."
"What kind of dye did they use in this fountain?!" (Panicked)
"What a punishment!" (Groaning)
She blinks,
She rushes, leaving behind a trail of water puddles for hurrying
people to slip on.
The shadow of the Moon.
Nuclear missile emerges out of the shadow.
It fires its secondary engine to launch itself out of its orbit.
It's now on course toward Earth.
The stretch of Pacific Ocean.
Haruka: "Damn"
Ami: "I would say that to be an underestimate." (Computer on her hand)
Setsuna: "Even more." (Looking up from reading papers in the folder)
Minako: "One at a time!" (As if having a headache) (her hair looks
bit greenish)
Rei: "What did you find?"
Ami: "You know that the Silver Crystal gives off its power like a homing
device."
"I'm able to pinpoint the Crystal, but..."
Rei: "But what?"
Ami: "It's somewhere in the deep trenches among the sublucation zones."
Makoto: "Sublucation zones?"
Ami: "That's where the ocean crusts heavier than the continents, are
being sunken under the continents, creating such deep trenches."
"Such crusts start to melt as they go down, producing a network
of volcanos like Mt. Fuji..."
Minako shut her up by placing her hand on Ami's mouth.
Usagi: "How did it get down there? I thought it was supposed to float
all the way to the space?"
Ami appears next to Usagi, away from surprised Minako.
Ami: "Higher we go, the air gets thinner, hence, lower pressure. The
balloons would expand and..."
Usagi: "POP!"
Ami: "Exactly."
Usagi: "Hard to believe that this science term I did actually helped."
Luna: "Told you so. More you learn, more you'll understand."
Rei: "Would it be hard to recover the crystal?"
Michiru: "The trenches are under tremendous pressure due to the weight
of all of the water, and we don't have anything that can go deep enough
before being crushed by such pressure."
Usagi: "Any ideas?"
Mamoru: "I'm thinking."
Setsuna is reading the Russians papers.
Haruka: "Well?"
Setsuna: "It's one of Russian's highly-classified Cold War projects."
"The nuclear missile that was launched was a H-bomb type, and
largest of any nuclear missiles ever built."
Rei: "What's a H-bomb?"
Ami: "That bomb uses hydrogen, the same gas that keeps the sun alive
and bright."
Mamoru: "A H-bomb is much more powerful than the atomic bombs that
were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki at the end of World War 2."
"It can blow entire Tokyo into nothing but a crater."
Setsuna: "Yes, according to this, the missile was intended to be launched
in an event the Soviet Union loses the war with the United States."
"It was to travel around the Moon before heading back to the
Earth to hit one of the major cities of United States just while the Americans
were celebrating the end of the war."
Haruka: "Sounds like the Russians wanted to make the Americans pay
a heavy price for winning the war."
Minako: "A really big nasty surprise for partying Americans..."
Ami: "That missile could ignite the third world war."
Minako: "Just what War ordered."
Haruka: "Actually, I don't think it'll happen.. One Russian general
I know already made calls to America."
Setsuna: "Yes, that's what this little note said."
"Russia and America agreed that it was a result of terrorist
activity, and both countries pledged not to go into war should the missile
hit the ground."
"They will work together to figure how to deal with this missile
problem."
"Russia is willing to take full responsibility should they fail
to stop the missile."
Michiru: "They don't know where will the missile strike?"
Haruka: "No, but both America and Russia already sent out their fighter
jets to patrol around hoping for a chance to knock out the missile before
it makes the impact."
Makoto: "I wonder where is the missile now."
Setsuna: "It may have already orbited the moon and heading toward the
Earth."
Rei: "If it wasn't for Taffe, the missile would be no problem."
Minako: "I'm surprised that they haven't made any announcement about
that missile."
Haruka: "They don't want to cause a global panic, and they would write
it off as an asteroid impact if necessary."
Minako: "Another of the government cover-ups..." (Sweatdrop)
Mamoru: "It seems that we have to recover the crystal and use it on
the missile."
Minako: "If we find the missile before it hits the ground that is."
Someone is watching from higher ground.
Taffe is watching them, wondering.
Rei: "Will the Sailor Transport work?" (Staring at the oceans).
Mamoru: "Without Sailor Moon's power, I don't know if that can be done."
"Ah..."
Amon arrives.
Mamoru: "This is Amon, the last of the Druids from Ireland."
Amon bows his head.
Amon: "I pesume that you have the runes?"
Haruka: "You mean this?" (Checking her pocket)
The rune sits on Haruka's palm.
Amon: "Yes, that's the rune of War."
Michiru: "I have one from Pestilence."
Setsuna: "And one from Famine."
Amon: "Great!" (Accepting the runes)
"All I need to do is cast a spell that will completely seal them."
Rei: "You can do that?!" (Setsuna gets a little suspicious)
Amon: "Of course. The spell has been passed down generations of the
Druids."
He sets them on the concrete rail.
???????: "Ya?" (Beyond and below the rail if sleeping there like
a homeless)
The runes on the rail.
Amon: "The rune of the Death is missing."
The guys look at Makoto.
Makoto: "What?"
Haruka: "Don't tell me, you and Hotaru haven't found the rune!?"
Makoto: "Well, both of us were unconscious."
Rei: "I would hate to go back to Germany to look for it." (Setsuna
didn't like the idea either)
Makoto is in deep thought.
Makoto: "Hik...an old friend of mine might know."
Minako: "Hik...? That sounded awfully familiar.." (Playfully)(Makoto
is blushing)
Makoto: "Anyway, if we can get in touch with him, we can find out."
(Minako has a nasty lump on her & complaining about how much
she has been suffering lately)
Mamoru: "I know what you're talking about. You have the telephone number
of the hospital with Hotaru in it?" (Smiling)
Makoto: "I do!" (Pulling out the papers)
Amon: "We must hurry. I don't know what will happen to the runes of
the Four Horsemen should they remain unsealed over time."
Amon notices that the runes are missing.
Amon: "The runes! They're gone!"
?????: "Hahahah!" (The guys looks)
That drunken guy again...
DrunkenGuy: "I gotcha da holy runes of da Horsemen!"
Rei: "Oh darn, it wasn't Taffe I was hoping for!"
Amon: "Give them back!"
DrunkenGuy: "Huhuhuhuh, ye runed me most sacred rite and ran off me
girls."
"I wol make ye pay for dat by hidin' them over da city!"
The runes are glowing.
Amon: "The runes!"
DrunkenGuy: "Hahah! Ye see! They lik' me!"
He runs.
Amon: "We must recover the runes before they return to their original
forms!"
Haruka: "Already on the way!" (Charging)
Taffe seems interested.
DrunkenGuy is panting,
He sees just in time to see Haruka about to grab him.
DrunkenGuy: "WAA!" (Knocking the trash cans down)
Haruka trips over the cans.
Michiru: "Haruka!" (Amon, Rei and Michiru approaches)
Minako: "Come on, let's go the other way." (Setsuna, & Makoto)
Mamoru: "Usagi, stay here." (Usagi nods)
Ami: "I'll stay with her."
The guys leaves.
Usagi: "I'm so worried. Without my crystal........"
Ami: "........."
DrunkenGuy is panting really hard.
He turns a corner.
He's on collision course with Taffe.
CRASH!
He crashed against a pole with Taffe just standing next to him.
He falls.
He's seeing the Four Horsemen.
The runes are glowing.
Taffe stare at them.
She picks them up.
DrunkenGuy: "Aah! Me Runes of Horsemen!"
Taffe: "Horsemen?" (Taffe's extending her hand holding one of runes
against his face)
She can feel the power of the runes.
?????: "Take them." (Taffe hears the voice in her head)
Minkao: "Taffe?!"
Minako: "So that guy was working for you!!" (Mamoru and Makoto behind
her)
Taffe: "He's not!"
Makoto: "Hand the runes over!" (Charging)
Taffe gulps.
Taffe grabs the Drunkenguy.
Makoto and Drunkenguy are hugging each other.
Makoto: "You gross pervert!" (Jackhammering the guy)
Minako: "She's heading for the subway!"
Taffe enters the subway station.
Taffe heads for the small gates with rotating black bars.
She puts a pass card in the slot.
Makoto is upon her, and Taffe gets bit nervous.
She grabs the pass card and pushed the rotating black bars.
Makoto goes down the same gate.
She doubled over since the rotating black bars didn't give away
(no pass, no pass).
Minako hopped on the gates over groaning Makoto.
Taffe go down the stairs, puzzling other people.
Taffe looks up.
Minako is sliding her feet on the smooth rail, surprising the
people.
Taffe leashes out her arm.
Minako is not expecting that.
Minako fells as her feet hits Taffe's arm.
Minako hits the floor hard.
Minako: "Good thing I know how to fall." (Groaning)
Setsuna: "Are you okay?"
Minako: "Don't worry about me, just go after Taffe!"
"Man, even she was healed, she still behaves like some Black
Moon brat!"
Setsuna leaves her slowly getting on her knees.
Taffe sees him coming.
The subway train already arrives, and people are streaming in.
Taffe drops a rune in one of guy's pocket.
Setsuna sees what she did.
She tries to go after the guy with the rune in his pocket.
The subway train doors close before Setsuna.
The train start to accelerate.
Setsuna watches it leave.
Taffe is panting a bit.
A hand grabs her arm.
Amon: "You will hand over the runes." (Blunt)
Taffe kicks his knee
She palms his chin.
Then Taffe knees his crotch.
Taffe escapes leaving Amon kneeling in pain.
She turns a corner.
She almost collided with Haruka
Haruka grabs her shoulders.
Taffe knees her in her crotch.
Taffe escapes, but Haruka grabs her arm.
Haruka: "Nice try, but I'm a girl." (Sort of in pain)
Taffe hits Haruka's forehead with the Rune of War
Haruka grunts, clenching her forehead.
Rune of War flows fiercely.
Michiru: "You must be Taffe we have heard about."
She's between Haruka & Michiru.
Taffe: "You two must be Uranus and Neptune."
Haruka: "That's right." (Really mad and in pain with bit of blood)
Taffe: "More like Urine-us or should I say U R Anus?"
Haruka gets really insulted.
She charges at Taffe.
Taffe moves to a side and trips Haruka.
Haruka is tripping toward Michiru.
Taffe escapes while the couple makes a crashing sound.
Taffe tosses the glowing Rune of War into the subway train while
Michiru is yelling at Haruka.
Off goes the train.
Taffe walks away, panting.
It's very smelly in the corridor.
The Rune of Pestilence is glowing.
There are people about.
Suddenly Taffe gets grabbed.
Mamoru: "Taffe, why are you doing this?" (Holding her by her arm).
Taffe: "Grunt." (Struggling)
"Help! It's that same pervert!"
People share at the two.
People close on Mamoru, shouting at him.
Taffe sneaks away.
Taffe: "Never knew that the rumors can be quite a powerful tool."
Suddenly, she gets smacked in the face.
She falls, dropping the rune.
Rei: "What you did to Mamoru was very dirty." (Taffe is spitting blood)
"Now hand over the runes before I pour my Africa fueled rage
on you."
Taffe: "You made me drop them." (Spreading her hands).
Rei looks.
A rune over there and subway train slows down to stop.
It gets kicked by a foot of unaware traveler.
Rei and Taffe dive for it.
The rune gets knocked away. (Busy traffic)
Rei elbows Taffe's side and Taffe grunts in pain.
Rei lurches forward.
Taffe grabs Rei's long hair.
That stops Rei with nasty pains in her head and neck.
Taffe grabs for the rune.
It gets knocked away again.
Rei reaches for it.
Taffe kicks the rune away.
The rune enters the train.
The doors close.
Off goes the train.
The girls are panting.
Rei gives Taffe a nasty punch right on her jaw.
Rei: "You idiot!"
"The runes are the evil souls of real Four Horsemen of Apocalypse
whom we almost died defeating!"
"Look at me! Look how tan and red my face is!"
Taffe: "You does look tanner. You been visiting those dumb tanning
salons?" (Pissing Rei off)
Rei: "You idiot!, think about this!" (Grabbing Taffe's shirt)
"Sooner or later, the runes will turn into the Horsemen, and
they'll start destroying anything in their way!"
Taffe blinks.
Rei: "Many innocent people will die, and it didn't help that you got
rid of the Silver Crystal!"
Taffe: "........" (Shocked)
Rei: "To top it off, War launched a really big nuclear missile and
sooner or later, it's going to come down!"
"Without the Silver Crystal, we don't know how can we stop them!"
"Because of you and the Horsemen, millions of people will die!!"
Rei is breathing hard.
Tears start to run down Taffe's cheeks.
Rei: "......."
People are staring, wondering what's going on.
Rei: "Let's move to someplace more private." (embarrassed) (grabbing
Taffe's arm)
Taffe and Rei are in a bathroom, all alone.
Taffe is washing her face.
She pauses.
Taffe: "Did you know that I was made a mayor of my homeworld by Prince
Diamond?"
Rei: "........."
Taffe: "I swore to protect and ensure the well-being of the people
of my homeworld while he wages some stupid war on Earth."
"We were taught that you Sailor Soldiers were evil soldiers enslaving
the people of Earth and using them to satisfy the whims of tyrant Queen
Neo-Serenity."
Rei is shocked.
Taffe: "Yeah, that's how Prince Diamond convinced most of our people
to rally behind him."
"Heh, everything Prince Diamond said were lies."
"What that idiot really wanted was to make this Princess Serenity
his wife at any cost."
"Thousands and thousands died just because of that..."
Rei: "........"
Taffe: "Feh, there're no such things as "Evil" and "Good", just a matter
of points of view."
Rei frowns.
Taffe: "You refer "evil" to anything that threatens you and your beliefs,
and Topaz told me how you can sense and neutralize any threatening auras
and even turn their hostile auras against them."
Rei: "............"(thinking of how she sensed the Horsemen)
Taffe: "It got worse when the Wiseman came.."
"Then, Sailor Moon destroyed the Wiseman."
"You know what she did?"
Rei is silent.
Taffe: "She left thousands of us to die when she had a chance to heal
us free of the Wisemen's poison!" (Tears)
Rei goes !!!
Rei: "No, you're wrong."
"We knew very little about your homeworld let alone the fact
that there were still people living there."
That hits Taffe.
Rei: "You were looking for someone to blame, and you know what the
Wiseman had done to your people."
Taffe lowers her head as if pained.
Taffe: "Look at me, I'm crying.."
"It has been so long time since the last time I cried.."
"Do you remember those Sailor Soldier robotic imposters Topaz
built?"
Rei looks at Taffe.
Taffe: "It was my older sister, Larima, who made the sailor suits and
wigs for the robots."
Darkness.
A girl in the bed.
Taffe: "You have to take it.!" (Schorl in the background)
Larima: "No."
"I finished what must be done, and there are no more uses for
me."
Taffe: "Larima.."
Larima: "Beside, we don't have many crystals left, right Topaz?"
Topaz: "That is very true." (Holding a crystal)
Larima: "You need to conserve them so you would able to complete your
operations."
Taffe: "Larima!"
Larima: "I was hoping that we would see through this together."
Tears start to run down Taffe's cheeks.
Larima: "Taffe.. my sister, I'm sorry..."
Her hand cradles Taffe's wet cheek.
It goes limp.
Larima has died.
Taffe was crying for only Topaz, Schorl and Taffe remained.
Rei is very troubled.
Taffe: "Ever since that time, I always have been so angry at you Sailor
Soldiers."
"That's why I wanted to give you guys some really miserable times."
Rei: "And you succeeded." (Bit emotional)
Taffe: "Yeah, but at a wrong time. I never wanted to bring any innocent
people in danger like that!"
Silence
Taffe: "It seems that ignorance can be either very blessing or very
dangerous."
Rumbling!
Silence (Taffe and Rei glancing each other)
Taffe: "Rei, wait." (Rei start to dash)
Taffe: "Since I'm responsible for what I did with the Silver
Crystal, I would like to help get it back."
Rei: "............."
Hikaru enters the hospital.
Hotaru is in the bed, still in coma.
He sits down.
Hikaru: "Well, here I am. I promised Makoto that I would watch over
you."
"Hard to believe that a young girl like you is a sailor soldier
who beat Death."
"Well, guess what? I got a letter of recommendation from Egmond.
That will greatly help make my dream of being a detective come true."
He hears the door open.
He get surprised to see Egmond and Ritter carrying flowers.
A big bandage on Ritter's forehead (where Nazi symbol was).
They speak in German (Egmond is silent as usual)
Hotaru is still in coma.
A black cloud is rising from the city.
Haruka: "Damn."
Setsuna: "Yes, the Horsemen became active once again."
Minako: "Do we have to fight them again?!"
Amon: "It have to be done if I am to seal the runes."
Makoto: "Damn!"
"I'm really worried about Hotaru!"
Uneasy silence.
Haruka: "No thanks to Taffe." (Still mad)
"Man, how can a mere girl like her manage to beat us!"
Minako: "She knows most of us. We're still weary from our last battles,
and we went at her one at a time."
Makoto: "Yeah, that's how she beat us. So damned clever. I bet that
she was trained by Schorl."
Michiru: "Schorl?"
Ami: "It's a long story, but we need to think about how can recover
the Silver Crystal."
Minako: "Yeah... where's that demon girl you call Rei?"
Rei: "I HEARD THAT!" (Minako gulps)
Rei is there with Taffe.
Usagi blinks, very surprised.
Haruka: "YOU @#%#%#@#%@#%#%^#*&%^#(*&^)#*)&^)(*#%# bitch!"
(Michiru has a leash on her)
Taffe: "Want another kick at your cito.....?." (Glaring)
Rei: "Stop. We're not here to waste time picking fights."
"And she offered to help us recover the Silver Crystal:"
Haruka: "So this #@%#@% witch can run away with it again?!"
Taffe: "When are you going to stop wasting time swearing at me, and
start thinking about stopping the Horsemen?!"
Minako: "She's right. We'll have to split up again like the last time
if we want to stop them at once before they spread destruction."
Usagi: "But what about the Silver Crystal? How can we recover it without
you guys?"
Mamoru: "I'm working on that."
Haruka: "You figure that out. We'll deal with the Horsemen!"
"Let's transform!"
They transform
Amon: "Amazing..."
Taffe: "Yeah, but a waste of time. I'm surprised that they haven't
been attacked during their transformations."
Here are the Sailor Soldiers all ready.
Soldiers: "We are the Pretty Soldiers of............"
Taffe: "Don't waste your time getting in such lame poses and making
stupid speeches!!!"
That messes everything up.
Uranus: "We'll split up into three groups."
Jupiter: "I'll stay and protect Usagi."
Uranus: "Neptune..
Neptune: "What?"
Uranus: "I want Sailor Mercury."
Neptune: "I'll trade her for Sailor Mars." (Smiling)
Uranus: "Deal!"
Pluto: "I presume that I'm stuck with Sailor Venus?"
Venus: "I don't like the sound of that tone..." (Glaring)
Uranus: "You got the maps of metro train routes? All ready?
They nod.
Uranus: "Let's go!"
Off they go.
Mamoru puts his hand on Usagi's shoulder.
Usagi glances at Taffe.
Taffe returned her glance.
Usagi looks away.
Hikaru returns to Hotaru's room.
Hikaru stops.
The bed is empty.
Hikaru look around, she's no where to be seen.
He gets really worried.
Eventually.....
Two girls are running.
They end up at a dead end.
Shaung and Tokoyo are panting hard.
Tokoyo: "You and your big mouth."
Shuang: "I can't help it. Happens all the time."
"I know I had offended few Christians."
"But I never thought that they would go as far as sending that
big guy after me!"
Tokoyo: "Let's not jump to the conclusions so quickly." (Lightly knocking
Shuang's head)
Shuang: "It would help a great deal if they could be little less sensitive,
and I wouldn't have to worry so much about my big mouth." (Whining)
Tokoyo glances.
A huge shadow approaching them.
Shuang: "Tokoyo! Do something!"
Tokoyo: "I'm trying, but the sword's stuck!" (Struggling with the sword)
Shadow edges closer.
Tokoyo still couldn't get the sword loose.
Losing patience, Shuang grabs Tokoyo's sword.
Somehow Shuang snaps the sword loose.
Tokoyo takes it back, really annoyed.
Tokoyo clumsily prepares her sword (getting it wrong side up
before turning it around)
Shadow is over them.
The girls are really nervous.
Uranus: "Hey!" (Shadow hears her)
"Guess who's back?"
"Huh?"
There stands War dressed like a Samurai.
Mercury: "What's wrong?" (Really nervous)
Uranus: "I can tell that it's War, but the last time I fought him,
he looked like a Viking."
Mercury: "They must have assumed their appearances based on where they
first became active."
War charges.
Uranus: "World Shaking!"
Venus: "Funny, I already had a snack, and yet I'm feeling hungry."
Pluto: "I'm hungry too and that shows that Famine is nearby."
Venus: "Oh, he makes us hungry?" (Pluto nods)
"And thirsty too." (Rubbing her throat)
"Oh, there's a stand selling bottled water." (Dashing away)
Setsuna looks around.
Venus: "Whargh?!"
"Fifty thousand yens (ap. $400) for just a bottle of water?!
That's a highway robbery!!"
Pluto: "Leave him be. That is the result of the power of Famine."
Venus: "Huh?"
Pluto: "Look around."
Hungry and thirsty people all over while the stores are rich
in food and water.
Some rioting, some looting at food stores.
Venus: "What's going on?!"
Pluto: "Water."
"Water is most essential of all, and nothing can function without
it."
"Water is needed for livestock and growing crops as well as manufacturing
goods and energy."
"Ones without access to water grow poorer while those who control
water grow very wealthy."
"A majority of a population will get very poor while very few
get wealthy."
"Hence, the economies become out of balance, and that can cause
the civilizations to collapse."
Venus: "........"
They feel really hungry.
They turn.
There stands Famine in Japanese tattered clothing with straw
hat.
Mars: "Pestilence sounds pretty scary.."
Neptune: "It gets scarier when you actually meet him."
"We were able to defeat him by burning him up with gasoline and
torches."
"That's why you're my hope of defeating Pestilence."
Mars: "I like to burn my enemies." (Grinning wickedly)
Neptune smiles.
Neptune: "Ah, there is he."
Mars: "Where?"
Neptune: "Cloud of mosquitos." (Mars looks shocked)
Mars: "My temple!!!!"
Mars is really flaming up, and Neptune notices something incoming.
Neptune shoves Mars out of the way of the gush of mosquitos.
The nuclear missile is halfway toward the Earth from the Moon.
Mercury is running.
She ends up at a dead end.
Mercury looks back.
War is approaching her.
Mercury notices something useful.
Uranus is running.
Uranus: "Stupid of me to lose Mercury like that!"
"She has no chance against War!"
She slides to halt at the dead end.
Uranus stops, not expecting what she saw.
Mercury & War are playing chess and Uranus hits the ground.
War looks as if he's about to win.
Mercury ponders.
Mercury: "I win." (War flips)
Uranus: "World Shaking!"
Her power makes a direct hit on War.
War gets sent flying through the brick fence.
Uranus: "Got him!"
"Good job, Mercury!" (Mercury smiles)
"How did you...?"
Mercury: "War represents any informational, physical, emotional, and
mental conflicts. The games are no exceptions."
Uranus: "Ah.... since I'm still recovering from my injures....."
"You to work to hinder his movements so I can slice him with
my sword without getting myself in danger."
Mercury: "Yes sir!!" (Saluting)
They look around.
War is nowhere to be seen.
Famine leashes out the dust devil.
Pluto & Venus leap out of the way.
Venus: "LoveMe Chain!"
Her LoveMe Chain warps Famine.
Famine couldn't break free.
Venus: "Gee, he's much easier to handle than War."
Pluto: "Dead Scream"
Her powers smashes against tied-up Famine.
Pluto's power plows Famine against a wooden wall.
Dust cloud settles down.
Venus: "I don't see the rune."
Pluto: "........"
Mars: "Hmm."
Pestilence takes on the form of Japanese monk.
Mars: "Like Famine, I can sense Pestilence's presence, but I'm not
sensing anything evil in him."
Neptune is puzzled.
His arm expands toward Mars and Neptune.
Mars: "Mars Fire Ignite!"
Her fire burn up Pestilence's arm.
Neptune: "Keep firing at him!"
Mars: "Heh". (really enjoying it)
Pestilence hurl another cloud of mosquitos at them.
Mars's fire plow through the cloud easily
And burning up Pestilence in the process.
To save himself, Pestilence launched a small cloud of mosquitos
upward, away from the girls.
Neptune: "It's going to get little tricky."
Mars: "Obviously. Let's go after it!" (Panting a bit)
They rush.
Usagi is very concerned.
Mamoru is still thinking.
Taffe: "You have the power of the Earth. Can't you use it?!"
Mamoru: "Hmmm.."
He feels something in his pocket.
He withdraws it.
His keychain with a picture attached to it.
Picture of Usagi and Chibiusa.
Mamoru blinks.
His eyes focus on Chibiusa.
Mamoru: "Of course.."
Jupiter: "What?" (Usagi hears him too)
Mamoru: "I think I know who can help."
He kneels, his hand touching the ground.
His other hand touches his heart.
He closes his eyes.
Silence..
Helios hears his plea.
He glows.
Usagi looks
Appearing in the front of the sun.
The Pegasus arrives.
Usagi: "Helios!!"
She hugs Pegasus
Helios: "I'm aware of what happened, and I can help recover the Silver
Crystal."
Usagi: "Please!"
Helios: "However, since this body is a projection of my true physical
being, I cannot do it alone. "
"The Silver Crystal is in very deep area, and under tremendous
pressure. Getting to it will require all of my powers, and I need someone
to act as a guide capable of picking up the Crystal."
Taffe: "I'll do it."
Usagi blinks in surprise.
Jupiter: "No, we won't let you." (Blocking her)
Taffe: "Usagi, you know what I did with the Silver Crystal."
Usagi: "......" (Looking down)
Taffe: "Do you want to save millions of lives?"
Usagi looks up at Taffe
Taffe: "We don't know what becomes of the fourth Horsemen, and you
need those three to protect you."
"Please let me recover it for you."
Jupiter: "She's not to be trusted."
Usagi hesitants.
Usagi: "I don't know what Rei said to you, but I think I can trust
you."
"Please go and get it back." (Taffe nods)
Taffe heads toward Helios.
Helios: "Amon has the homing crystal, and you'll need it."
Amon: "Here." (Handing the crystal)
Helios: "I will create a bubble around you, but it will very cold,
and wet, also, it will be difficult to breathe."
Taffe: "I can endure it."
Helios: "I will be so focused that I may won't be able to see well,
so with the crystal, you are to guide me toward the Silver Crystal."
Taffe: "But it'll be quite dark.."
Helios: "Don't worry, the bubble will be glowing."
Taffe nods, getting on Helios.
Helios the Pegasus with Taffe on his back takes off.
He flies over the ocean.
Then he makes a plunge into the waters.
Mamoru, Jupiter, Amon, and Usagi wait.
Neptune: "There he is!"
A big shadow over there.
Mars: "Mars Fire Ignite"
Big fires!
Something emerges out of the fires.
It turns out to be War.
Mars: "Wha..?!" (Shocking Neptune too)
War brushes Mars away like a doll.
Neptune: "Deep Submerge!"
Her power is inefficient against War.
War looks down at Neptune.
Neptune is scared.
Uranus: "Over there! I heard something!"
Mercury and Uranus arrive at an alley.
Something emerges out of the shadows.
Uranus and Mercury take double-takes.
Came out of the shadows is Famine.
Mercury: "They must have switched places!"
Uranus: "Doesn't matter, we can beat him." (Charging)
Uranus staggers, weakened by hungry.
Mercury: "Mercury Bubbles Spray!"
Fog.
It gets sucked up by a little dust devil.
Famine is controlling the dust devil.
Mercury gets caught in the devil.
Famine raises her really high.
Uranus recovers.
Famine let Mercury drop.
She looks up just to see Mercury falling toward her.
Uranus: "Not again...."
Venus: "Waaa!"
Pluto and Venus are fleeing.
Clouds of mosquitos are chasing them.
Venus: "Where did he came from?!"
Pestilence approaches them.
Pluto: "Keep running! We have no way of fighting him!"
She sees the solid balls of mosquitos about to plow into the
girls.
An eerie glow in the darkness.
It gets closer and closer.
Something larger and glowing comes down to illuminate a strange
fish with glowing rod.
It scurries away.
Helios is as if in mediation state with Taffe atop him.
Taffe is having difficult breathing.
She can barely make out the crystal.
It's pointing.
Taffe taps Helio's left shoulder.
Helios shift to the left.
Helios: "I can sense the Crystal. We're getting close."
Taffe is watching the crystal.
Usagi feels chilling feeling.
Jupiter: "That chilling feeling!" (Whirling)
The guys look.
There stands Death next to his horse pulled funeral carriage.
Jupiter: "Careful, I really don't know how to beat him."
Amon mutters something.
Amon leashes some powered runes at Death.
Death brushes aside Amon's power.
He shakes his head.
He turn to his carriage.
He opens the door.
He points at Usagi.
Usagi points at herself.
He nods.
He then points at the opened carriage.
Usagi pales.
Jupiter: "Don't go there! It could be a trap!"
Usagi backs, shaking her head.
Death looks at the carriage.
A small photo flies out of the carriage if carried by a breeze.
It lands at Usagi's feet.
Usagi picks it up.
Picture of Chibiusa and Hotaru.
Jupiter: "No..."
Usagi looks at Death.
Death is pointing at the carriage.
Usagi: "I have to go."
Jupiter: "No!"
Usagi: "I have to! He knows where Hotaru is, and I have to see if she's
okay!"
Jupiter: "......"
Mamoru: "I'm coming with you."
He stops.
Death points at him, shaking his head.
Same for Jupiter and Amon.
Usagi: "I think he wants me to go with him alone." (Holding the photo)
She walks toward Death.
Death invites Usagi to enter the carriage.
Usagi hesitates.
She looks back.
Jupiter: "Usagi..."
Usagi looks away.
She takes a seat inside the carriage.
Death closes the door.
Jupiter can't stand it.
Jupiter charges.
Mamoru: "Jupiter!"
Jupiter is about to be upon the carriage.
The funeral carriage takes off.
To Jupiter's surprise, the carriage is flying.
Death's carriage is leaving Tokyo.
Usagi looks from behind the curtains, sad.
The guys on ground watch it leave.
Silence..
A bright light emerges out of the ocean.
The guys perk.
Helios lands.
Taffe is totally wet and shivering with cold.
Taffe: "I...I.. I got it!" (Shivering)
The Silver Hand in her hand.
Mamoru takes the Crystal.
Amon wraps his cloak around Taffe to warm her up.
Helios: "Endymion, I must leave to rest, and I will return soon. Don't
tell others this: I could have recovered the crystal by myself, but I gave
Taffe a chance to atone for what she did."
Mamoru: "That'll be our secret." (Smiling)
Taffe: "Where's Usagi?"
Silence...
They look at her.
Nuclear missile approaches Earth.
The nuclear missile fires its thrusters to slow down as it enters
into the orbit around the Earth.
The thrusters fire again, and the warhead detaches itself from
the secondary engine.
The warhead disappears into the shadow of the Earth.
Usagi is very nervous.
She looks at the picture of Hotaru and Chibusa.
She's really worried.
She feels a thump.
The carriage slows to stop.
Usagi is puzzled.
The door opens.
Usagi exits the carriage.
She finds herself next to Death.
He points.
Usagi sees a large tree leaning at an odd angle.
Usagi approaches.
?????: "Hello and welcome to Shukerien." (Usagi recognizes the
voice)
Hotaru has emerged from behind the tree, smiling cheerily.
Usagi: "Hotaru! You're all right!!"
Hotaru: "Yes, I'm fine."
Usagi: "Where are we?"
Hotaru: "Hiroshima."
Usagi: "Hiroshima?!"
Hotaru: "Yes, one of the cities that was devastated by an atomic bomb
during the World War Two."
She points toward the city.
Saturn: "Just 1400 meters away is the very spot where the atomic bomb
detonated."
"August 6, 1945 was the very day when two hundred thousand of
people died and even hundreds more from radiation aftereffects."
"That's why Death favors such place.."
Usagi looks at Death behind her.
Hotaru: "And this gingko tree." (Looking up at the leaning tree).
"Is one of very few trees ever to survive the effects of atomic
bomb."
"You can see how the tree was pushed by the force of the blast."
"Because of the fact that this gingko tree survived the atomic
bomb, the ginko trees are considered the Bearer of Hope."
Hotaru looks back at puzzled Usagi.
Hotaru: "Death is not what you think she is."
Usagi: "She...?" (Confused)
Hotaru: "Please listen carefully."
She concentrates.
Everything darkens
Saturn: "Life and Death....".
Nothing surround Usagi and Hotaru
Hotaru: "That was once before.."
Flash of light blinding Usagi.
Hotaru: "The collision between two dimensions ignites a vast amount
of energy."
Glowing globs stream forward.
Hotaru: "That results in the creations and annihilations of matter
and anti-matter and should a tiny imbalance favors the matter, the universe
will be born."
Hotaru: "The first stars of our universe to be born out of the surviving
matter and energy."
They start to flare.
"The first stars to die and collapse into black holes."
The glowing globs start to turn and turn.
"Their deaths created the first galaxies."
The galaxies taking on their shapes.
Usagi is in awe.
Hotaru: "Here is our galaxy."
The Milky Way.
Hotaru: "That star..." (Pointing)
It goes supernova.
Glowing gas clouds expanding.
A small faintly glowing star within the clouds.
Disk of dust whirling around the new star.
Hotaru: "The death of a large star gave birth to our very solar system."
The dusts gather into the planets.
Hotaru: "Including our Earth.."
The dark planet with glowing cracks.
Hotaru: "Over 4.6 billion years....the earth grew and nurtured the
life."
Dark planet changes into the Earth we know today.
Hotaru: "Animals, plants, and people..."
"They live and die in seemingly endless cycles."
"But not forever..."
"In few billion more years, our sun will age.."
The sun expands into giant reddish star.
The Earth gets scorched.
Blinding light.
The sun went nova.
Hotaru: "Our sun will die, but its death will give birth to new stars,
planets and even life."
New stars in the nova of the sun.
Hotaru: "Even the galaxies don't last long."
Milky Galaxy
Hotaru: "For our galaxy will eventually collide with Andromeda Galaxy."
"But a new and larger galaxy will be born out of such collision."
"Even this universe will eventually exhaust itself." (Universe
darkening)
Total darkness and nothing.
Hotaru: "But a new universe will emerge out of the darkness once again."
Another big bang. (Hotaru's holding a cluster of stars in her
hands)
"The space is infinite, and the universe we know is not alone."
(Universe shrinking)
More "balls" of lights appear in the darkness.
Hotaru: "Those are many universes out there are being born and dying
in the endless cycles."
"Life exists on billions of planets in such universes."
"Even there is life in the so-called voids between the universes."
"Even the birth of the universes can cause deaths."
"You may remember this.."
Flashbacks of the Knight.
"He was once one of the peaceful civilizations that was virtually
wiped out by the "Big Bang"
Usagi's hands go to her mouth, remembering how she dealt with
the knight.
The knight explodes into binding light.
Hotaru and Usagi are now standing before the leaning tree.
Hotaru: "Life and Death..."
"When there's no life, there's no death. When there's no death,
there's no life."
"Like Order and Chaos, Light and Dark, and Matter and Energy.
Life and Death cannot exist without each other.."
"Yin-Yang. "
"One opposites the other, and yet it cannot exist without the
other."
Silence (Usagi is recovering from being overwhelmed)
Usagi: "This was so overwhelming..."
"But why are you telling me all of this?"
Hotaru: "Because it is vital that you understand everything before
I make a request."
Usagi: "What?"
Usagi hears something.
She looks.
War, Famine and Pestilence arrives in their chariots.
Usagi backs, afraid.
War turns to pick something up from his chariots.
War is hoisting limp Mars and Neptune.
Usagi gets shocked.
Famine is dragging Uranus and Mercury.
Pestilence is craning Venus and Pluto.
The Sailor Soldiers are laying all over.
Usagi: "They're not dead are they?" (Turning toward Death)
Death said nothing.
Usagi gets angry.
Hotaru: "........." (Furrowing)
War, Pestilence and Famine approach Usagi & Hotaru.
Usagi gulps.
Something strikes.
A rose with Silver Crystal tied to it.
Usagi is astonished.
She looks up.
Pegasus pulling a two-wheeled carriage with Tuxedo Mask, Taffe,
Amon and Jupiter it.
They jump off the Pegasus and carriage.
Usagi: "How did you...?!"
Tuxedo Mask: "Usagi, get the Silver Crystal!"
Usagi nods.
Tuxedo, Jupiter, and Amon faces the three Horsemen.
Usagi is now holding the Silver Crystal.
Hotaru: "Usagi!" (Grabbing Usagi's arm)
"Please don't destroy Death!"
Usagi: "What?!"
Hotaru: "Please..."
Usagi: "But they killed my friends!!"
Taffe: "Didn't you see that they're breathing?!" (Next to Rei)
Rei: "Taffe?!"
Tuxedo Mask: "Usagi! Transform and stop the Horsemen! I'm not sure
if we can hold them."
Hotaru: "Don't worry about them. They're just the pawns of Death."
Usagi hesitates.
Amon: "Usagi! That girl may have been possessed by Death. You have
to destroy the Horsemen in order for me to seal the runes!"
Hotaru: "I"m not possessed!"
Hotaru: "Please free them, not destroy them!"
Usagi: "Free them?!"
Amon: "Usagi! You know what will happen if they're allowed to go free."
Usagi: "No... they're evil."
"They had killed so many people for thousands of years..."
"Killing is evil!"
Hotaru: "Usagi! They were made to do that!"
Usagi gets confused.
Hotaru: "Druid, tell them the truth!" (Stabbing her finger at Amon)
Amon is shocked.
Tuxedo Mask and Jupiter look at Amon, puzzled.
Usagi: "Amon?"
Amon hesitates.
Amon: "Human Ambitions!"
Usagi stare at him.
Amon: "The Horsemen were born out of the human ambitions."
"The humans have long sought control over the resources and powers
over each other."
"War was born out of the conflicts between the humans over power,
greed, and resources."
"Famine represented the scarcity of water as a result of the
humans' conflicts, abuse, and mismanagement." (Mexicans dying of thirst
while Americans wasting water on golf courses)
"Pestilence was the result of the populations growing too rapidly."
"Death represents the deaths caused by ideas and beliefs!" (Nazi,
Maya, witch hunting,, Samurai, World Trade Towers, etc.)
Hotaru: "How did they came into being?"
Amon: "As a last resort to repel the Roman Invasion of the home of
our Druid ancestors which is now Ireland and United Kingdom."
"Few millennia ago, many of our ancestral tribes were fighting
the Roman invasion and losing."
Pluto: "Are you saying that the Druids tapped into one of the energy
forces of the universes to be used as a weapon against the Romans." (Weakened,
but okay)
Amon: "From where I stand, there were no evil in killing the Romans
who were trying to massacre every of us!"
"So some druids created the Four Horsemen of Apocalypse to drive
the Romans away, but they went out of control."
"Sure enough, they eventually caused the Roman Empire to collapse,
but they didn't stop there."
"They continued on their rampage, and some of other Druids realized
this."
"I don't know how it happened, but it was said that the Silver
Crystal was used to stop and convert them into the runes to be sealed by
the Druids."
"The runes were lost when the Christians arrived at the European
islands." (He looks as if he hated them)
"Somehow, the seal on the runes was broken."
Hotaru: "........."
Taffe: "I have been saying that there are no such things as Good and
Evil."
Hotaru: "Yes, the concept of "Good and Evil" is artificial, created
by the humans to define what is right and what is wrong."
"Such concept always varies among so many cultures around the
world." (Uncle Sam Vs Osman Bin)
Usagi is confused.
Amon: "Usagi... you have to destroy the Horsemen in order for me to
seal the runes."
Hotaru: "So you can regain the control over the Horsemen, and use them
to carry out your revenge against the Christians and Muslims!!"
That shocks Amon.
Hotaru: "Well?"
Amon: "........."
Amon: "H-h-how did you know?!"
Hotaru: "The way you spoke of the Christians which its religion was
heavily influenced by the ideals of Roman Empire, and beside, Death told
me." (Death is some distance away).
Pluto: "It is true that the Christians were responsible for many witch
hunts that nearly wiped out the Druids and many deaths of innocent people
accused of crimes they did not commit."
Amon: "Not only that... you know what happened to the Great Library
of Alexandra."
Pluto blinks.
Amon: "It was those damned Roman Christians and Muslims who burned
the library down!"
"Thousands and thousands of treasured works of knowledge by great
druids, scientists, philosophers, and scholars all destroyed."
(Surviving example, Heron, a Greek scholar from the first century
already developed a concept of steam engine)
"That library may had once held the answers to the origins of
the Silver Crystal and the Guardians of the planets!"
"So much history... so much wisdom.... so much of the Druid heritage,
so much that could have been great assets to the people of today, all gone,
all burned down by those evil Christians and Muslims!"
Taffe watches him clenches his fists.
Taffe: "Ignorance and Supertition; they're like twin idiots running
rampant through the land."
Amon looks up at Taffe.
Taffe: "A quote by Aristotle, a great scholar of ancient Greece."
"Amon, I know how you felt."
"My people and I had done this kind of thing before, and we ended
up destroying ourselves."
"Now I'm the last of the Black Moon, and I decided to work to
preserve my heritage and lessons we learned from our actions." (Looking
at Mars)
"You have the knowledge of history that you can use to prevent
any tragic events from happening again."
"You'll destroy yourself, your knowledge, and your druid heritage
if you let yourself go like that."
Usagi and Hotaru watch Amon.
Silence....
Warhead fires its last steering engine.
The warhead gains its speed toward its intended target.
It heats up as it rams through the atmosphere.
Amon raises his head.
Amon: "Usagi... I realize that I have very bad ambitions... As this
woman said, killing others won't do us any good."
"You have the power to end the suffering of the mankind by destroying
the Horsemen forever."
"So for the sake of the humankind, use the crystal to destroy
them!"
Usagi nods.
Hotaru: "NO!" (Grabbing Usagi's hand)
"Death is natural, not evil!! If you destroy the Horsemen, you'll
tear apart the fragile fabrics of the universes!"
Usagi gets confused.
Amon: "Usagi! If they're not destroyed, there will be endless cycles
of death and suffering and you know that!"
Hotaru: "Usagi.."
Usagi: "No... I don't want to see any more deaths and suffering!"
She clenches her crystal, and it start to glow.
Hotaru: "Saturn Power!"
Both glow.
Sailor Saturn readies her glaive.
Saturn: "You'll have to fight me then." (Combat pose)
She stops.
Usagi is shocked that she has not transformed at all.
Saturn: "Usagi?"
Usagi: "I..I didn't transform..?!"
She stare at her Crystal, confused
Tuxedo Mask: "That's not possible."
Hotaru: "Something must have happened to you."
Saturn touches Usagi's heart.
Saturn: "Something is clouding your heart and your mind as if you're
not accepting yourself and your role."
Tuxedo Mask looks at Taffe.
Taffe: "..........."
Usagi: "Yes.. Taffe told me how I caused deaths of thousands of her
people."
Saturn: "......"
Tuxedo Mask: "......"
Tuxedo Mask "Usagi, it wasn't your fault. It was Wiseman who is responsible."
Taffe: "Yeah, he's the one who poisoned us!!"
Usagi: "No, Taffe said that I had a chance to save her people, but
instead, I left them to die and I didn't even know about it!" (Shaking)
Taffe: "Usagi......."
Usagi: "And there's this spirit from before our universe, and I killed
him too." (Trembling)
"I never wanted to be a Sailor Soldier, and I remember how much
I wished to live my life as a normal girl." (Sobbing).
BEEP BEEP!
Uranus heard that.
Mercury's VISOR is beeping.
Uranus: "Hey nerd, wake up!" (Tapping Mercury's head with her boot)
Mercury groans her head aching from Uranus's boot tap.
She blinks.
She pales, reading her VISOR.
Mercury: "GUYS!!"
Venus: "What hit me?" (Very sick)
Mercury: "It's the missile!"
Uranus: "I guessed so."
Mercury: "My VISOR detected it, and it's coming down!"
Uranus: "Where?"
Mercury: "Right on where the first atomic bomb hit! It's going to make
an impact in -- minutes!"
Venus: "If we don't do something about that, we'll be blasted into
nothing!"
Saturn whirls to see Death approaching.
Saturn: "Death?"
Death brushes her aside.
Tuxedo Mask: "Usagi! Pull yourself together!"
Usagi looks up.
Death is swinging his axe downward.
Usagi screams, trying to protect herself.
The axe makes a contact.
Saturn was holding her Silent Wall over Usagi.
Tuxedo Mask, Jupiter and Amon charges in.
They get captured/tied/preoccupied by by other three Horsemen.
Saturn: "Death, what are you doing?"
Death: "........"
Saturn attacks Death.
Saturn: "I know you asked me to help you."
"But I can't let you take Usagi's life!"
Saturn slices the axe blade off the wooden handle.
Death grabs Saturn by her neck.
Saturn's eyes widen, her body becoming paralyzed.
Death drops her.
Usagi: "Saturn!"
Saturn: "Have you been manipulating us ever since....?"
Death leaves Saturn and head for Usagi.
Saturn: "Usagi!"
Saturn struggles to rise herself up, but Death already drained
her strength.
Usagi backs from Death.
Tuxedo Mask: "You have to transform and stop Death and the missile!!"
Usagi pales.
Death grabs Usagi's neck with two hands.
Usagi struggles to free herself (still holding the Crystal)
Tuxedo Mask: "Transform and save millions of people!"
Taffe: "Don't be an idiot and transform!" (Stuck with Pestilence)
Usagi finds herself sharing up the face of the Death.
The skull face.
Usagi pales, and going limp.
They didn't move for a while.
The warhead is still glowing and coming down fast.
The jet planes are alerted and en route.
Usagi: "I...I...."
"I understand!"
The Crystal glows!
Death gets forced to let Usagi go.
Usagi is gasping, her crystal glowing.
Usagi: "Never again...."
"Never again will I kill!"
"I will never ever kill anyone!!"
The Crystal gives off a flash of light.
Transformation sequence
Eternal Sailor Moon!
Tuxedo Mask: "You did it.."
Moon: "You Horsemen were once humans sacrificed by some bad druids.."
"If it's the only way to end this...."
Her crystal start to lit up brightly.
The light engulfs the Four Horsemen.
The Horsemen crumble, leaving only runes.
The runes move to rotate around Eternal Sailor Moon.
Moon stands upon a glowing Celtic symbol of the Four Horsemen.
Amon: "She did it.."
Tuxedo Mask: "What?"
Amon: "She has done what the Druids had failed to do: the complete
control of the Horsemen."
"Even so, I'm not confident that she has the time to stop the
missile."
Mercury: "He might be right. We have seconds before the missile impacts."
Moon: "Famine..." (Grasping the Rune of Famine)
"Get everything back in balance."
She breaks the rune.
The lit dust go whirling around Moon.
The dust takes on a form of balancing scale.
It then gets scattered.
Moon: "Pestilence.." (Grasping the Rune of Pestilence)
"You will help us fight the natural sicknesses."
She breaks the rune of Pestilence.
The specks of light whirls around Usagi.
Glowing and semi-transparent flowers blossom before letting their
petals scatter.
Warhead just passed the clouds and Hiroshima is in view.
Two Americans jets are en route.
Moon: "War..."
"You started this, so do something about it!"
She breaks the rune of War.
The specks of light whirl around Moon.
The specks go up and around and around up.
Two American jets.
PilotA: "(Speaking in English)"
PilotB: "Eh?!"
Targeting screen shows the missiles to be armed.
A missile from each jet is fired as if on their own.
Specks of light appears as if guiding the missiles.
The specks take on the glowing Thor of the Norse Gods riding
the chariot drawn by rams.
The missiles act as if guided by Thor.
He hoists a huge warhammer.
The nuclear missile is coming down.
Thor swings the hammer forward.
Flash of light above.
Tuxedo Mask and others look up.
A bright cloud up there, and something was tumbling from it.
It disappears beyond the horizon.
Uranus: "Was that the missile?!"
Americans jets fly overhead.
Venus: "WHOA!"
Mercury: "Yes, the missile was destroyed."
They look at Eternal Moon still enclosed in the pillar of light.
Moon: "Death..."
She grasps the Rune of Death.
She closes her eyes.
Moon: "Mamoru..."
Tuxedo Mask: "What?"
Moon: "You are of the Earth, and I need your help."
Tuxedo Mask approaches Moon.
Moon: "Please take the rune."
Tuxedo takes the rune.
He can feel the power within.
Moon: "Break it."
He breaks the rune.
The specks of light spill through Tuxedo's fingers.
The specks spread over the ground.
The Sailor Senshi are feeling better as the specks pass underneath
them.
Pegasus: "Gaia....." (Cocking his head)
The specks fade..
Saturn: "Gaia... she was said to represent both Life and Death.."
"She gives birth to us, and when we die, we return our bodies
to her...."
Moon leans on Tuxedo Mask, exhausted.
Saturn: "Sailor Moon?" (Worried)
Moon: "It's okay. You asked me not to destroy them. They've been released."
Saturn is relieved.
Moon: "It's natural for us to be so scared of death."
Saturn: "There were the stories of afterlife in many religions, but
the death will be forever unknown to us."
Tuxedo: "Yes, what's made Death seem so scary."
Moon faces the Sailor Senshi fully
Moon: "Death has taught us the most important lesson of all."
"The death is what makes life so precious."
"It will always be there to remind us of what we do with our
lives and our future."
"We can't let our lives go to waste, and that is why we have
our dreams to pursuit."
Tuxedo Mask: "It's not easy to tell the differences between dreams
and ambitions."
Taffe: "There is a difference. The dreams don't hurt others while the
ambitions usually do."
"Farewell." (Leaving)
Moon smile.
Moon: "But the Four Horsemen still exists, and there's nothing
I can do about it."
"It's all up to the people to deal with them."
Saturn collapses.
Moon: "Saturn!"
Tuxedo catches her before she hits the floor.
Moon: "Saturn?" (Tuxedo places Saturn on his laps)
Saturn moans.
Her eyes open.
She smiles.
She becomes unconscious.
Tuxedo: "She'll be okay, and I'll use my powers to provide her some
strength."
Moon nods, relieved.
Moon: "Where's Amon?"
They look.
Amon is gone.
A sparking catches Moon's eye.
She walks over there.
Moon kneels to pick something up.
Amon's homing crystal cracked on purpose.
Moon smiles.
Artemis: "We have to hurry! We have a meeting to attend!"
Minako: "I know! I know!" (Hopping around, trying to do everything
at once (dressing, brushing etc.)
Crash! Artemis winces.
Artemis: "And you got mail from Russia." (Tapping a letter)
Minako: "Russia?!?!"
She grabs the letter.
Minako: "How did they know?!" (Studying it)
"Of course, I remember I left some belonging in that motel.."
She opens it.
The letter is in Russian.
Minako: "AHH!"
Artemis: "What's wrong?"
Minako: "It's in Russian! I can't read Russian!"
Artemis: "Obvously."
Minako pursues her lips, thinking.
Minako: "I know! Setsuna can read it for me!"
She grabs Artemis.
Off she goes.
Minako: "AAH!! I forgot my ribbon, make-ups, brush, vest, and pants!"
A passage train.
Ami and Urawa emerge.
Urawa faces Ami.
Urawa: "I..."
Ami: "It's all right." (Putting her fingers on Urawa's lips)
They do look sad.
Ami straighten Urawa's collar a bit.
Ami: "Email me sometimes, okay?"
Urawa nods, smiling.
He turns.
Ami watches him go.
Ami gets really sad.
Ami: "Urawa, wait."
Urawa stops, puzzled.
Ami hugs him.
Ami: "I.. I wish.."
Urawa: "It's okay." (Hugging her back)
They let go.
Urawa enters the train.
People stream in.
The train begin to accelerate.
Ami watches the train go.
She looks down, very sad.
A drop of tear...
Rei is walking down the street, puzzling over a letter.
Makoto: "Yo!" (Carrying two really big picnic baskets)
"What's this?"
Rei: "A letter from Sudan. It came today."
"Setsuna must have given them the address."
Makoto: "Why don't you open it?"
Rei opens it.
Makoto: "Oh, pictures!" (Rei look at the pictures)
Rei look through the pictures.
Rei gets shocked while Makoto stare at it, amused.
Rei: "Don't you dare tell others about this!!!" (Stabbing a finger
and crushing the picture)
Makoto: "Don't worry about it."
They hear some music.
Ami passes by with earphones on her and a cassette player.
Rei: "What's this music? It sounds nice." (Picking one earphone off
Ami's ear)
Ami: "I got it from a really nice music band in India."
Makoto: "Cool."
Rei: "What about you?"
Makoto: "Nothing, but I had a nice chat with Hikaru over phone."
Makoto clamps her mouth.
Minako: "So you finally admitted that it was Hikaru in Germany."
"Is he still an item for you?"
Makoto: "Rei, would you mind?" (Thumbing at Minako)
Rei: "Glad to."
Minako hides behind Ami's back.
Minako: "Hey, your cheeks are little red." (Noticing Ami's reddish
cheeks.)
Ami: "What?"
Minako: "Did you and Urawa get a chance to go at it?" (Winking and
grinning wickedly)
That gets Ami blushing.
Rei: "Don't tease Ami." (Teasily yanking Minako's hair)
Ami: "Thank you, Rei."
Rei: "No problem." (Dragging Minako by her hair)(chibized)(Help sign)
"Let's start marching! The picnic awaits us!"
Off they go.
Usagi & Mamoru ware walking down the park
Mamoru notices a baby carriage with a young boy in it.
Mamoru feels something very familiar about the boy.
The boy was staring at him too.
He stares after the boy as the mother pushes the carriage.
Usagi: "Hey, what are you looking at?"
Mamoru: "I thought I saw someone familiar."
Usagi: "Careful! The rumors haven't died yet, and we don't want any
wrong ideas!"
Mamoru: "I know. I know." (Waving hands)
Young man: "Charity?" (Ringing a bell)
Usagi does a double take (man looks very familiar to her)
Mamoru drops some coins in the pot.
YoungMan: "Thank you! May the Blessing be with you!"
Usagi is still staring at him.
Mamoru and Usagi leaves.
Youngman look around.
He pulls out a beer bottle.
A nun grabs it away from him.
He suffers a lengthily lecture.
Ami smiles (at the park).
Ami: "Well, we do use the viruses and bacteria to produce vaccines
to fight other diseases."
"We even used some viruses to target the cancer and tumors."
Rei: "What about those flowers we saw?"
Ami: "Many medicines and cures were developed from plants, and that
is why we have to protect all of the forests around the world from illegal
logging. Such forests hold the medical secrets we have yet to discover."
Haruka: "I can say the same for some wars."
"War is kind of a last resort if anything else fails."
"Granted that all wars are bad, but they make big impacts on
the history of humankind."
"Take World War Two for example, if it wasn't for that war, the
Japan would have been very different." (No anime either)
Makoto: "And remove bad and stubborn bullies like Hitler of Reich Germany."
Haruka: "Dropping an atomic bomb to kill two hundred thousand people
by was a better alternate than an invasion of Japan which could have resulted
in millions more deaths both military and civilian."
Silence...
Rei: "Usagi already told us about Death, but what about Famine?"
Setsuna: "Famine brings disasters, but they teach us to grow stronger
and be able to withdraw any further disasters."
"Famine is also responsible for many of important agricultural
technology advances."
Rei: "Yeah, we got stronger from all of the fights with the Horsemen
too."
Setsuna nods.
Usagi: "You sounds like that everything are grey."
Rei: "Yep, never in black and white."
Usagi: "I have to admit that I'm not comfortable with that."
"But it would seem that....."
"All we can do is not to do anything that can hurt any others."
Rei: "That's no problem as long as you keep your hands off my mangas."
Ami: "And help those in need."
Makoto: "How simple.."
Minako: "Yeah! Should anything threaten the Earth and the people, we'll
be there to stop them!"
They get down to enjoy some picnic
Haruka: "Damn those arrogant Americans. They're taking credit for destroying
that missile."
Michiru: "There's nothing we can do about that."
Haruka: "How about this? The pilots have been saying how their God
was guiding them, and how America was blessed without saying anything about
Japan!"
"We know that Sailor Moon was the one who did it!"
Usagi: "Will Hotaru be all right?"
Setsuna: "Considering what happened between Hotaru and Death, she's
fine, but it'll take a long time for her to recover."
Usagi: "I see. I really wish that she's here to share with us."
Setsuna: "......" (shrugging)
Minako sneaks to Setauna.
Minako: " Setsuna?"
Setsuna: "Yes?"
Minako: "Could you please read this letter for me? It's in Russian."
Haruka lifts an eyebrow, hearing her.
Setsuna: "Dear blonde girl of Japan, we were impressed with your performance,
and we wish to invite you to our audition to be an opera actress. Contact
information enclosed."
Minako's face is all red!
Haruka burst out laughing! (Michiru is puzzled)
Rei: "What really happened in Russia?!"
Haruka: "I haven't seen what exactly happened, but I can tell you that
she was the real Goddess of Venus!"
Minako tosses something at Haruka.
Haruka dodges it, and Usagi gets hit.
Minako: "Oops!"
Usagi is glaring.
Usagi tosses a pie at Minako.
Bad aim and Rei gets hit.
Rei: "Why you.."
Let there be Makoto with a lighting-crackling battle aura surrounding
(Rei gets hit)
Michiru: "Let them have fun." (Holding cup of tea)
Mamoru: "Let us toast to our successes."
Ami: "Hear, hear."
They enjoy tea while others are begging for the forgiveness of
"Oh Great Goddess of Cooking".
Airport.
With sunglasses on her face, Taffe is walking down the busy hall.
She checks her tickets.
She passes someone.
That someone pauses.
Catzia turns as if she saw someone familiar.
Coan(Catzia): "Taffe? Is that you?!" (Taffe jumps)
Taffe turns.
Catiza; ‘Yes, you have to be Taffe!"
Taffe: "Catzia?!
Catzia: "Usagi healed you, right?"
Taffe: "You can say that."
Catzia: "That's great! Now you'll enjoy being a real human!"
"What's your job now?"
Taffe: "Voice actress. I'm on a way to a better job in Kyoto."
Catzia: "That's wonderful! I'm on the way to a better job too!"
"My sisters and I had been running a cosmetics business and it
was booming."
"So we decided to go our separate ways and set up our businesses
in various cities."
"Of course, we still stay in contact with each other and share
the profits and burdens of the businesses."
"It happens that I'm going to Kyoto too."
Catzia stops, noticing that Taffe is already gone.
Catzia: "How typical of Taffe." (Smiling)
"Wait till I tell my sisters about her!"
"Then again, Petz might be not happy to hear that since Taffe
once had humiliated her."
Taffe is hiding with a huge sweatdrop.
Taffe: "I hope we're not on the same plane.."
"Gate C-7, seat F-1"
"Oh, the time!"
She zooms away.
Catzia: "Oh! The time!"
"What's the gate?!"
"Gate C-7, seat F-2"
Catzia zooms down the hall.

He smiles.
He looks upward.
The Moon...
To be Continued....
I'm serious! The story continues with Sailor Moon Stars.
