Summary

An injured and weary Usagi finally reaches Nehellenia's castle. Once there she realizes that all of her best and closest friends have been defeated by the Queen, however she is told more of Nehellenia's past and decides that the Queen deserves a second opportunity to fulfill her own lovely dreams as a child again.

Plot

Super Sailor Chibi Moon and Super Sailor Saturn face Nehellenia. Sailor Saturn attempts to use her mightily powerful Silence Glaive and unleash its deadly destructive powers to end all of this, but Chibi Moon stops her. Usagi finally arrives in time to see Chibi Moon disappear as the curse progresses. When the nine Super Sailor Guardians' energy and power helps Usagi transform directly into Eternal Sailor Moon, Nehelenia reveals that she experienced a lonely childhood, but that the mirror kept her company. After Nehellenia physically assaults her, Usagi's pity breaks the curse over Mamoru.

Chibi Moon returns, all of the other Super Sailor Guardians are freed, and Eternal Sailor Moon's vast power returns Nehellenia to her childhood to give her a second chance of redemption.
