Summary[]
Super Sailors' Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, and Saturn all take on Sailor Galaxia on their own but she proves too strong for even their strongest attacks combined. Super Sailor Saturn is ready to exterminate Galaxia once for all by using the Silence Glaive; therefore taking her own life in the process. Galaxia calmly reveals that she was the one responsible for allowing the spirit/soul of Sailor Saturn within Hotaru to fully awaken as well as releasing Queen Nehelenia from her seal.
