"I should have sealed you in a mirror long ago." Nehelenia stretched out her hands and a rectangular ray shot forward. Sailor Saturn was sealed into a nightmare mirror. | The prison mirrors
appeared around the walls of the
throne room with the Sailor Senshi sealed inside. "Watch from inside the mirrors," gloated Nehelenia, "See the sad face of your Princess..." |
"Nehelenia..." A torn up Usagi-chan stumbled into the room. |
"I congratulate you for getting
this far," remarked Nehelenia smoothly, "but you're too late.
Those who were caught in my nightmare are now completely trapped.
I will be dawn soon and they will never
wake up." |
Usagi saw Sailor Chibi Moon's
condition and ran to her side. "I'm sorry Usagi," stammered Chibi
Moon, "I couldn't save Mamoru-chan." "Usagi... I believe in you..." |
"No...!" cried Usagi,

In Nehelenia's memory, hude crowds cheered for her. "Our beautiful Queen, Nehelenia!" "I don't need friends! I don't need loved ones! I am my friend! I am my beloved! The one who shares my happiness with me, is me!" "I was released from solitude, I defeated loneliness! That's why I have to stay beautiful forever. To never be alone. That's why I needed the Dream Mirrors as much as you need your friends. But you! The White Moon Princess. You sealed me. Cast me into the darkness. Cast me back into solitude! Without the mirror. Into loneliness! DO you understand!" Nehelenia lashed Usagi with whips and bolts of dark energy, knocking her hard against the walls and floor. Finally she grasped Usagi by the throat. "My revenge will finally be complete." Continue |
