Motoki struggles with opening the trunk to his cute turtle-ish car, complete with adorable turtle stuffed animals in the back rear window. Trying to balance the big box he has in both hands, plus the plastic bags in one hand while trying to open the trunk with the other is no easy matter. Poor Motoki never gets a chance to succeed, though, as a man wearing black comes and knocks into Motoki as he passes. Motoki tumbles to the ground, spilling all the contents of his box onto the floor (including oranges, toilet paper, newspaper, and a bottle of some liquid that shatters). Motoki screams and stutters angrily to the person who walked into him. "H-h-hey you! Why'd you do that?"

Nephrite, the man in black, harrumphs and replies. "I dunno." He starts to walk away.

"Hey!" Motoki scrambles to his feet after him. "***!" He becomes a little depressed and says. "It's the shopping for the store. Aaah! ***" Nephrite starts to walk away again, but Motoki stops him. "Hey! Help out! Pick something up!"

"Why should it be necessary for me to do a thing like that?" asks Nephrite haughtily.

Angrily, Motoki gets to his feet. "You knocked it over, didn't you!" Some passersby are starting to take notice. "Hurry! Hurry! It's a bother," urges Motoki.

Nephrite's face contorts with rage and his fingers are clenched stiffly. "Why you!"

Motoki looks up at him. "Not, 'Why you!' Hold this!" He plops a bottle into Nephrite's hand.

With a cry of anger, Nephrite smashes the bottle into the ground, startling Motoki.

"Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!" shouts a police officer running towards them. "What are you doing?!"

Nephrite tosses him to the ground. "Don't you touch me!" commands Nephrite, "You lowly human!"

Motoki can't believe his ears. "What'd you say?" he asks.

"Wait! I said stop!" He tries to get Nephrite to calm down, but he, too, is tossed away. As Motoki lands with a crash, the rage on Nephrite's face is replaced with a look of glee.

In the Dark Kingdom, Mamoru stands before Metalia.

"Endymion!" echoes Beryl's words, "Eliminate the Princess! With your own hands! The Princess is the one who will call down disaster on the planet!"

"Princess..." Mamoru thinks to himself, "It all started when I began to search for who I was."

Flashback: In a blurry dream, a shadowed figure asks, "Please find the Illusionary Silver Crystal!" Before her, a caped figure stands.

Flashback: Sailor Moon leaps over a railing to face off with Naru's youma-posessed mother. "And then...I met her." Sailor Moon makes her Moonlight Stick appear and executes a "Moon Healing Escalation!" healing Naru's mother, who drops to the ground. "I did it!" exclaims Sailor Moon happily. "Awesome!" She leaps up and down.

Flashback: Mamoru hears "Moon Prism Power, Make Up!" and to his surprise, looks around a corner to see Usagi transform into Sailor Moon, mirrors spinning around her. Transformed, she runs off, leaving Mamoru staring after her. "No way..." he says, "Her?!" Jadeite attacks Sailor Moon and Sailor Jupiter by throwing a purple ball of energy at them. "Look out!" screams Luna. The two girls brace themselves for the blow, but before it can reach them, Tuxedo Kamen runs in front of them and takes the attack. After the battle, Sailor Moon wraps a handkerchief around his injured hand. "Thank you," he tells her.

"Probably, around that time, I..."

Flashback: Mamoru sits on a wall. Usagi approaches shyly, nikuman in hand. She splits it in half and hands him a piece. "This is kind of...my way of saying thanks," she says. He takes the piece and she sits next to him, eating happily.

"She will destroy the world?" asks Mamoru incredulously.
