episode 45: cherry blossom time The aliens are sitting on the Doom Tree. They disscuss how humans use up a lot of energy when seeing cherry blossoms (picincs 'n stuff). They decide to use this to their advantage... That day, Miss Haruna and Serena, Molly, Lita, Mina, Amy, Raye, and Ann all went to the park to see the beautiful cherry blossoms. It was really busy, but Melvin had saved them a spot. When asked how, he said that he had waited all night! He said that he did it for their sakes but especially Molly's. Molly blushed (awkward moment!)...they broke out their food and began to pig out (especially Serena!). Serena then saw Alan looking at her from a distance and commented on it. Ann went over to him... He said that he had been staring at the blossoms, not Serena. Ann turned into her alien self and was told to pick a cardian. She did, and the energy-draining began... when Molly and Melvin were in a remote part of the grove. Melvin was telling Molly how much he liked her (to Molly's suprise!) when all of a sudden, a monster, the cardian Racey stole their energy. Miss Haruna came to see what was going on, but her energy was taken as well... Serena took the weakened friends to the hospital, and the doctor said that they "had their energy drained". Later, Luna and Artemis figured that it was the aliens who were behind this. Suddeny four screams could be heard - Amy, Mina, Lita, and Raye! They were in trouble, and Serena shouted "Moon Prism Power!". Sailor Moon raced to the scene... where she found her best friends trapped, being drained of energy. She gave her speech, but then Racey came after her. She tried her tiara, but again it didn't work! Shooting deadly petals at her, Serena was backed into a tree trunk. The weak girls warned her not to look into Racey's eyes. But she was forced too, and light surrounded her, weakening her. Suddenly, the energy pummeled her locket, and it broke! The warrior became Serena again!!!... She was being drawn into a warp, so to speak. Luna tried to pull her out, but she could not do it. In the end, both were drawn in, Serena saying, "I'm sorry I couldn't save you guys..." Serena and Luna were surrounded by white light. Luna commented on how she didn't feel like being Sailor Moon that day, when suddenly, they were in a sort of limbo. Serena was nude, in fetal position, and Luna was unconscious. Serena was so upset that she couldn't transform anymore. Moping on this, a light formed, and a figure appeared... Queen Serenity! She told her that she is always in her mind and in her heart, and soon they were transported to the Moon Kingdom, the Scout becoming Princess Serena once more. The Princess told her mother about how she could no longer transform, but Serenity unveiled the Silver Imperium Crystal. She said that "Your desire to save your friends makes the crystal grow strong". Placing the crystal into a groove, a new locket formed. Serena was told to say "Moon Crystal Power!" And she did, and she became a revamped Sailor Moon (with a cool transformation sequence)... Back at the grove, the girls were still trapped, energy drained. Artemis was about to be next when suddenly, a light shined from below. Arising from it was Sailor Moon and Luna! She gave her speech again, but Racey just came after her again. She was soon cornered like before, and was about to get pummeled by cherry blossom petals, when suddenly a white rose blocked Racey's path... It was the Moonlight Knight! He gave a sappy speech, and then Queen Serenity sent a gift from the moon: the Moon Scepter. Sailor Moon shouted "Moon Scepter Activation!", and the enemy was destroyed... Amy came to. She told Serena that she was a good friend, and she blushed. The others soon awoke and said the same thing. The cats wondered if she was getting on the right track, but as they talked about it, Raye sneered that she could have saved them a little bit sooner. They yelled at each other and then turned their backs in a hissyfit!... The day was again saved, and Sailor Moon had a new, awesome power...
