Tuxedo Mask and Sailor Chibi Moon arrive and Sailor Chibi Moon douses the flames using Luna-P. Eudial flees with the talismans and the Sailor Guardians give chase. Eudial uses glue from her weapon to trap the Inner Sailor Guardians, but Sailor Moon can get pass it. She tries using Moon Spiral Heart Attack, but Eudial's weapon can defeat the attack. Before Eudial could attack Sailor Moon, Setsuna arrives and transforms into Sailor Pluto, revealing the orb on her weapon is the third talisman. Using the orb, she summons the other talismans to her and summons Sailor Neptune and Sailor Uranus to stand before them. Their Pure Hearts are separated from the talismans and returned to their owners. They grasp the talismans and all three of the talismans emitted strong power, felt by the Death Busters and an unknown girl and the talismans create the Holy Grail. Eudial sets the room aflame, containing the Sailor Guardians, as she runs to retrieve the Holy Grail. Sailor Moon runs to capture the Holy Grail as well, and the two race for it. Sailor Moon reaches the Holy Grail first, snuffing out the flames and she transforms into Super Sailor Moon. Eudial tries to use Fire Buster II on Super Sailor Moon, but she deflects it back at the Witch and Eudial is thrown out of the Cathedral. Eudial flees in her Station Wagon, only to be contacted over the radio by Mimete, who berates Eudial for her constant failures. Driving at a dangerous speed, Eudial discovers Mimete has cut the brakes, put snails in her car, and left a taunting note. Unable to slow down, Eudial crashes the car over a guard rail and plummets to her death.
