07x02 - Abduction -Sailor Mercury-

[bunniefuu]

Sailor Mars!

Why are you here?

Chibi-Usa!

That's Chibi-Usa-chan?

Have you been watching us?

Hey, you know something, don't you?

Was it your allies who kidnapped Mars?

Usagi-chan!

Luna! Why are you defending her?

Calm down.

Wait!

Usagi-chan!

That's...

Usagi-chan, if you're too hard on her,

you won't be able to get any information out of her.

But...

Welcome home.

Oh? Where's Chibi-Usa-chan?

I don't know!

She said she's staying over at a friend's place.

I'm so awful...

Moon Pride!

I want to support you

The tears roll down my cheek Eyes burning scarlet

Someone is shouting love out loud Like a flash of lightning

No matter how dark it is

I know I'm not alone

Moonlight shines upon us

Even girls have unshakable wills

We will fight on our own

Without leaving our destiny to the prince

Shiny Make-Up!

We are gonna shine bright Under the starry sky

We are not helpless girls

Who need the protection of men

So... Shiny Make-Up!

We're going to fight With the powers from the starry sky

A new legend begins right now

Right here

La La Pretty Guardian

SAILOR MOON

Title Card{\fad( , )}ABDUCTION

Usako?

Mamo-chan, come with me. That girl is...

She probably doesn't want to go home.

She must've ended up at the park while wandering around.

It might be best if she doesn't go home tonight.

Usako's really emotional, too.

I'm sure Usagi-chan knows it as well.

She's just scared.

She has her guard up around others.

When she knows they have no ill will towards her, she's fully open to them.

I don't think she's our enemy.

Mom...

Mom, where are you?

If something happens, you must act.

The legendary Guardian, Sailor Moon, is invincible.

Dad! Mom!

Don't cry, Lady.

When you look sad, this rose withers.

Take this rose, it's just for you.

My name is Tuxedo Mask.

I'm Luna.

Did you have a bad dream or something?

Are you surprised? This is called ventriloquism.

Me, too!

I can do that, too!

This is a Luna P ball.

I call it Luna P.

Luna P?

Small Lady.

Small Lady.

Who's Small Lady?

That's my name.

My mom gave it to me.

I see. Small Lady and Luna P.

Is that your house key?

I can't go home without this.

It's a very important key.

Where is your home?

Come on. It's getting late. Good night.

Hey...

Is Sailor Moon really strong?

Yeah, she's invincible.

Do you think she'll save my mom?

I see.

She must miss her parents, who live far away.

I wonder where she's from.

Let's leave her to Mamo-chan for now.

Yeah, we've gotta rescue Mars no matter what...

From the Black Moon.

The Black Moon...

What? Ami-chan, I didn't know you played chess.

Yes, I do.

I see.

I'm not good at that kind of thing. It confuses me.

No, it's the opposite.

When you're focused on moving the pieces,

you'll see your opponent's intentions.

You can sort out the information in your head.

Do you see anything, then?

I have no idea who they are, or what they're after.

But one thing I can say is...

these enemies have already snuck into this world.

Chibi-Usa...

Were you with Mamo-chan?

Luna, you too?

My, my.

Chibi-Usa-chan!

I'm glad you're back! I was so worried.

Aren't you hungry?

I know! I'll make pancakes for you.

Are you feeling better?

She has something that looks just like the Legendary Silver Crystal.

I saw it too. It was with something that looks like a house key.

She came to ask Sailor Moon for help.

She said it's to save her mom.

Let's take some time and see how it goes, okay?

Cheer up, Usako.

No matter when I look at it,

the reaction of the Malefic Black Crystal is tremendous.

Prince Demande...

Don't worry.

As you asked, I'm using the energy of the Malefic Black Crystal

to produce Droid soldiers and send them to that planet.

Your alchemy breathes life into these simple, puppet Droids.

It's magnificent, Saphir.

Brother, I see we've captured Sailor Mars.

Yes.

Your methods are always too aggressive.

What exactly are you planning?

I'll do what I want.

Are you giving me orders?

It's fine, Saphir.

We have sworn loyalty to Prince Demande.

Prince, whatever you want, I will follow, of course.

Rubeus, where is Sailor Mars?

She is locked away in the Darkness Chamber.

But she is quite obstinate.

I couldn't extract any information about the Legendary Silver Crystal.

Wiseman.

As you please, Prince.

We can still make good use of her.

Until we've achieved our goal, I guess I'll keep her alive a bit longer.

Prince Demande.

I, Berthier, the third eldest of the Spectre Sisters, will handle this.

Do you feel the sympathetic power?

The Sailor Guardian with the power of water...

I can feel that Rabbit around her.

I bet the Legendary Silver Crystal is with her, too.

Go.

Code . Operation Re-move.

I will remove the unpleasant pieces.

What the heck? It's not working again.

What's wrong with it? Why just here?

Let's go back to the gym.

How annoying!

Is there something wrong with the water pipes?

Listen carefully and hear the sound of the water flow.

This isn't good. We'll have to call someone to fix it.

Hey, thank you!

How did you know the water pipe was broken?

W-Well...

Not bad.

But dowsing without a pendulum is heresy.

Who was that?

Is she our enemy?

It's not good to think negatively when nothing happened.

No, something bad has already happened.

Mars...

Are you safe?

Ami-chan.

Naru-chan?

Usagi was feeling down, so I dragged her here.

So you're a member here too, Ami-chan?

My father is a member, so I come here every once in a while.

What does your father do?

He's a Japanese-style painter.

Wow, an artist.

That's cool!

He got divorced from my mom though.

My father taught me how to play chess and how to swim.

He said that those two things are very effective at calming you down.

I see.

What brings you to Japan?

Yes. I'm here to compete in a chess competition.

Miss Berthier is the third-ranked chess player in the world.

She is also a dowsing professional known throughout the world!

Dowsing originally involved using a pendulum

to search for water or veins of gold,

but I can actually find anything.

Do you dowse with chess, too?

Yes. The pendulum swings toward the place I should move my pieces.

I see!

Are there any chess players you would like to challenge?

Yes.

The genius girl, Ami Mizuno-san.

I think I would like to take this opportunity to challenge her.

I've wanted to meet you.

Why me?

I was interested in you.

I'm surprised at dowsing's success rate.

I want you to find someone.

You can do it, too.

It's just like controlling water.

Sailor Mercury...

Let's have a match.

The winner will get whatever she wants.

Sailor Mars...

If you win, I will give her back to you.

If you win,

what should I give you?

Rabbit.

I know that brat is near you.

Rabbit? You mean...

The Black Moon is after Chibi-Usa-chan?

But why? Who is she really?

This pendulum made with the Malefic Black Crystal

will tell me anything...

Even your thoughts.

Yes... You're afraid, Mercury.

Not just for Mars, but... you are afraid of losing someone again.

Focus... I need to focus.

Because you were always alone.

You know the people dear to you will not stay with you forever.

Poor Mercury...

Your fear will come true, because that's your fate.

Always and forever.

You will lose to me,

and you will lose everything...

Your precious friends,

your pride as a Sailor Guardian...

Ami-chan!

You can do it, Ami-chan!

Usagi!

Please be quiet!

I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!

If you keep interrupting the game, you will have to leave!

She won't.

What are you doing?

Everyone...

How did she recover?

You're right.

I am alone.

One day, I might have to say goodbye to the people important to me.

But there's no need to feel sad.

I know our hearts were connected in those happy moments.

Even if we become separated,

the love I received from them will never fade away!

Checkmate.

She did it!

Did she win?

Ami-chan, you did it!

What?

Impossible...

Now, give us back Mars!

The game is not over yet!

Hey, let me through!

Please make a path!

Hey!

No. Stay away from her!

I still have more pawns.

By now your friends are also...

If you give up the king, I don't mind saving them.

Neither Mars nor Chibi-Usa-chan are pieces in your chess game!

Don't insult me!

Mercury Star Power Make-up!

The Pretty Guardian in a Sailor Suit. Guardian of Love and Intelligence.

Sailor Mercury!

Douse yourself in water, and repent!

They aren't alive.

They're just dolls disguised as people.

Shine Snow Illusion!

My name is Berthier of the Spectre Sisters.

Your illusion doesn't work on me.

I can't breathe...

Now spit it out! Where is Rabbit?

I won't tell you!

I will never give her up!

Venus Love-Me Chain!

Do it now! Sailor Moon!

Moon Princess Halation!

It's no use.

You can't break Berthier's water sphere that easily.

Mercury!

flashbackHey... Is Sailor Moon really strong?

flashbackYeah, she's invincible.

Mercury!

To Be Continued card To be continued...

Let's hold hands

Let's go to see the ocean

Just the two of us

It feels a little sad, doesn't it?

I can see a moonbow

Hanging in the sky

Goodbye

I promise I won't cry

Dreams that are almost crushed

By the oncoming wind

On a starry night

They bubble and melt

Even if the whole world has gone into a deep sleep

I will continue singing

I'm sure we'll see each other again

The Black Moon... who are they?

Their moves are totally unreadable.

They snuck into our lives before we knew it.

Maybe they're after Chibi-Usa, not the Legendary Silver Crystal.

Chibi-Usa?

She may hold the key to solve all of these mysteries.

Act. Secret, Sailor Jupiter.

The Moonlight is the Message of Love.
