For the first twelve episodes of ''Sailor Moon&nbsp;S'', she sent Professor Tomoe's [[Daimon]]pods and turned them into Daimons to extract Pure Hearts, seeking out those she thought could possess [[Pure Heart Crystal|Pure Heart Crystals.]]These plans were always foiled by the [[Sailor Senshi]]. Finally, her last monster, Senishenta, extracted [[Usagi]]'s Pure Heart, and it seemed to be a [[talisman]], but it was returned to her by [[Tuxedo Mask]]. After Senishenta froze Tuxedo Mask in a crystal, Kaorinite told Usagi, whom she discovered was [[Sailor Moon]], to meet her at Tokyo Tower. At Tokyo Tower, Senishenta extracted Usagi's Pure Heart, but [[Sailor Uranus]] said it wasn't a talisman and returned it to her.
 
   
[[Sailor Venus]] disguised herself as Sailor Moon to convince Kaorinite that Usagi was not Sailor Moon. Kaorinite 
 
 
fought Sailor Uranus and [[Sailor Neptune]] while the other Sailor Senshi fought Senishenta. After Sailor Moon destroyed Senishenta, they inevitably fought Kaorinite, who used a culture fluid created by herself to absorb Senishenta's power, using a crystal sword and a beam of crystal shards that encase anything in glass. The Sailor Senshi used [[Sailor Planet Attack]]on her, but she survived with minor injuries. Just as she had them all at her mercy, Sailor Uranus ultimately decided to help them, and used [[World Shaking]]on her, hitting her directly and turning her crystal beam against her, encasing her in crystal. The attack also caused parts of the tower to collapse and send Kaorinite falling over the edge to her death.
 
 
She was later revived by Professor Tomoe (though this is not explained until near the end), and became [[Hotaru]]'s guardian. She did not seem to want to get back into heart snatching, but eventually decided to extract the purest heart she could find. She took [[Chibiusa Tsukino (anime)|Chibiusa]]over to the lab where Hotaru extracted her Pure Heart and transformed into [[Mistress 9]]. Mistress 9 struck Kaorinite with lightning, which also knocked her into the deadly electric force-field. Her body vanished after death, and Mistress 9 said that she had served her purpose.
