PGSM - Act Twenty-Five

Usagi is in shock that it took her this long to figure out that Tuxedo Kamen was Mamoru.
After she takes his mask off, he quietly takes it back from her. She's embarrassed that she asked him where Mamoru was, and she gets up to hurry away.
He calls her by her name and grabs her wrist.
Mamoru starts to say something but stops, letting go of her. He puts his mask back on and walks off dramatically, leaving a confused Usagi.
Could he feel the same way about her?

Back to the Dark Kingdom, Kunzite is Not Happy with Zoisite. He slams Zoisite down onto his piano, warning him never to interfere again.
Zoisite says that if Kunzite continues to attack Mamoru, he will continue to interfere.
Kunzite says that Endymion destroyed their planet, why should they protect him?
Zoisite responds that if the princess is removed, they won't have a repeat of the past.
Kunzite once again tells Zoisite to stay out of it - he'll take care of everything. But if Zoisite will keep interfering... Kunzite lays his sword against the white shitennou's throat, leaving the threat hang.

Jadiete kneels before Beryl, reporting in about Kunzite. Kunzite thinks that Princess Sailor Venus is a fake princess - a decoy. Kunzite is targeting the real princess.

Minako and Artemis are glad that the other senshi are waking their true power. Soon Minako won't be the only one who remembers the past life.
There's a knock at her door and a stage hand type person enters. He's surprised to see that she's alone - he thought he heard another voice.
Minako says that she's been alone and she leaves with him.
Alone now, Artemis lets out a sigh of relief. That was a close one.

Mamoru's apartment is filled with boxes and Hina is still packing. She's hunting through his drawers looking for the key to a suitcase when she discovers the handkerchief that Sailor Moon used to tie up his hand in Act Seven, the chocolate she gave him in Act Nineteen and a stapler.

At home, Usagi is deep in thought. Mamoru and Tuxedo Kamen are the same person after all. And what did he mean when he started to tell her something?
Usagi stands up - she didn't want to get into all of this again.
But she can't keep from wondering...

Mamoru answers his phone. Motoki calls him to tell him about the party, and that in addition to the farewell party, Hina wants to have an engagement party.
Mamoru rushes over to Crown to see Motoki modeling a turtle outfit. He was planning on wearing it to the party.
He asks if he and Hina had a fight. He says that Hina said that she found a handkerchief in his house.
Motoki is worried about Mamoru. True Mamoru and Hina are friends, and her father practically raised Mamoru, but if Mamoru doesn't love her...
And then Hina walks in.
Open mouth. Insert foot Motoki. He feels so bad about it that he asks his turtle to hit him.
She rushes tearfully out of Crown with Mamoru chasing after.

Kunzite steps out on top of a building. He's brought Jadiete here to show him something. Jadiete has come - but out of curiosity, not because he's working for Kunzite.
Jadiete creates a youma.

Nephrite is lamenting his fate. He has to get back into Beryl's favor or else...
He flashes back to when Darkury gives him the new cape. It seems the worst of all of this is that Darkury took pity on him.

A determined Usagi makes her way down the street. She doesn't have time to worry about Mamoru, so she's just going to ask him what he meant.
Mamoru is still searching for Hina, when he sees various and assorted people being drained of their power and collapsing.
Usagi sees the glowing light of the stolen energy and she calls the others, who are also conveniently sitting on park benches outside.
Hina is standing in the center of the collapsed people. Mamoru tries to get her to run away, but she won't. She says that it will be better if she's gone. She's been such an idiot.
She's realized that he has never once told her that he loves her. She yells at him that he can just go do whatever he wants, and then she takes off running.
Mamoru follows and then skids to a stop when he sees Usagi.

Makoto and Rei see the purple light gathering at the top of a building, so they rush up to the top floor where Jadiete and Kunzite are waiting.
Kunzite calmly tells Jadiete that he can deal with these senshi.
Jadiete patiently waits for the two to Make Up (in split-screen) before moving in to fight them.

Meanwhile, Mamoru and Usagi are still looking at each other. Finally he walks past her and runs off to where Hina is collapsed on the ground.
Hina pleased with him to stay with her.
Mamoru says that she's very important to him, so until she tells him to leave, he will stay with her.

Usagi witnesses this and then, with a small smile, she tells them to run. She heads off towards the building.
She realizes that she's only been thinking of herself - she never stopped to think about how Hina must feel. After all, apart from the whole super hero thing, Usagi and Hina aren't really that different.
And on that note, Usagi Makes Up and runs into the building.

Jupiter and Mars are fighting Jadiete and the youma and not doing so well.
When Sailor Moon enters, Kunzite steps in front of her. He will fight Sailor Moon.

Mamoru sets the semi-unconscious Hina down on a bench and covers her with his coat.
He's about to leave when she catches hold of his wrist. Mamoru promises that he will come back and then he leaves her.
Hina knows now. Usagi is the other woman.

Mamoru changes into Tuxedo Kamen, for the last time.

Usagi is fighting with Kunzite, using her Moon wand to sword fight with him. Venus turns up to interfere and Jadiete sends his youma to blast her.
Venus, Jupiter and Mars line up to fight.
Kunzite laughs, as they've just lined up for the youma to freeze their feet to the ground in one shot.
Then Ami strolls in, looking quite different indeed. She Makes Up to Darkury.
The youma freezes Jupiter and Venus, but Mars holds off it's ice with her fire for a little while.
Darkury and Kunzite take turns fighting against Moon, as both of them want to take her out. Kunzite finally stops Darkury and goes to give the Final Blow when Tuxedo Kamen dives in the way.
Kunzite's power slices through him, knocking his hat off and cutting his mask in half.
Kunzite is rather amused. It didn't go quite as planned, but it didn't turn out all bad.
Darkury is rather cross. She wants him to get out of her way so she can attack Moon.
Kunzite is just amused. Turning Ami evil definitely made her more forceful.

Moon tells the seriously injured Mamoru-Tux to hang on, but he collapses, his eyes closing.
She calls his name: "Mamoru!" and she starts to glow. Another image, a girl in white superimposes herself over Usagi, and she screams another name: "Endymion!"
Usagi's tiara glows with a very bright light, and the shitennou hide behind their capes.
The youma is vaporized and the other senshi are on frozen.
The crescent moon symbol on Venus's head vanishes to be replaced with a tiara like the other senshi.

Luna remembers it all. Venus is the leader of the senshi, and their princess is...
The light around Usagi fades, and she's wearing a white dress.
She pleads with Mamoru to open his eyes. As her tears fall, it glows with a very bright white-blue light. It's the power of the Mystical Silver Crystal.
Kunzite (and Darkury) and Jadiete retreat from the light.

In the Dark Kingdom, Metallica is also blasted with the power. Beryl knows exactly what it is - the MSC.

Mamoru opens his eyes. He finally sees the princess from his dream clearly - it's Usagi's face.
The MSC fades back into Usagi's heart.
He sits up and stares at her.
Venus sinks down to one knee and addresses her as Princess Serenity. The others follow suit.
Usagi is very confused - she's the princess?
