Ami sat at her window with her telescope, observing the night sky and taking notes. Luna sauntered over. "What are you looking at, Ami?" "I've been tracking a comet, Luna. It should get big enough soon to be seen without telescopes. Want to take a look?" Luna nodded, hopped up, and put her eye to the lens. She started. "Eep!" "What's wrong, Luna?" "Eyeball..." Ami blinked and looked out the window. A giant face was hanging in the sky--Jadeite's face. "I know you're out there, Sailor Mars, Sailor Mercury. The time has come to settle this. Meet me at the airport, tomorrow night at eleven o'clock. Come alone. If you do not arrive...this city will BURN!" For a moment, the city burst into flames before Ami's horrified gaze. The illusionary flames faded, but the image lingered in her mind. She couldn't let this nightmare come true... ************************************************************************** Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Mercury # 13 Final Battle with Jadeite! Who Will Survive? Translated by Jenny "Tex" Borchelt from the BSSM Anime Comic #5 adapted to story format by John Biles ************************************************************************** "I bet it's a publicity stunt!" Naoko said at school the next day. "Probably for some movie." "No, it's got to be aliens! They've come to punish us for polluting our beautiful planet!" Umino asserted. "You've been watching too much Ultraman, Umino," Naru said. "Why would they want to just fight the Sailors if they wanted to punish the entire planet?" "Uhhh...." "I bet that dreamy Tuxedo Kamen will show up!" Usagi said. "He's such a hunk!" Naoko said, shaking her hands nervously. "Wanna go to the airport tomorrow night and see what happens?" "Sure! I bet Tuxedo Kamen will finally ask me out!" Usagi said, hearts in her eyes. "You always say that and it never happens," Naru said. "Besides, I'm sure he likes me better." Naoko and Umino sighed as the usual round of pointless argument began. *************************************************************************** Later Usagi told Motoki about it. Motoki laughed and said that he agreed with Haruna. He said that he liked Usagi when she was herself and not normal. When Usagi left the game center, she was very happy. She jumped up and her shoe went flying. A voice said, "Ouch." Usagi discovered that the shoe had hit Mamoru. After an exchange of words, Mamoru insulted Usagi and asked if she couldn't talk like normal girls. Then Usagi said that she didn't want to talk like that because there was someone who liked her better this way. Mamoru said that that person must be dumb. Then Usagi started crying. "How could you.. I don't care if you say bad things about me, but you can't say bad things about Motoki." That night Jadeite went to Haneda airport and put all of the guards to sleep. When Usagi, Ami, and Rei went to the deserted monorail station, an empty car came up and greeted them. They got in and went to the airport. When they arrived, they noticed a lot of policemen everywhere. Rei felt some evil feelings. The guards started attacking the girls. Rei fought them off and led the girls away. Usagi wondered why the guards were after them. Ami thought something was wrong. Then Ami transformed into Sailor Mercury. Rei quickly followed and transformed into Sailor Mars. The guards all stopped in front of Sailor Mercury and Sailor Mars. Then Usagi transformed into Sailor Moon. Sailor Mercury used her computer and discovered that all of the guards were just sand figures. Then Sailor Mars used her fire soul to blast them all. Just when the Sailor Senshi were feeling good, Jadeite came and said that he found out the identities of the Sailor Senshi. Jadeite said that the Sailor Senshi were going to die anyways. He used his power to move some airplanes out on the runway after the Sailor Senshi. Sailor Mars was going to blast the planes with her fire soul. But Luna said that the airplanes were very expensive and they wouldn't be able to pay it back in their lifetimes. So Sailor Mercury said that all they could do was to escape. The Sailor Senshi ran away, but they eventually ran out of space as the runway ended at the ocean. Jadeite thought that he finally had the Sailor Senshi. But a red rose came flying by and the airplanes stopped. Tuxedo Kamen had come to fight Jadeite. Tuxedo Kamen and Jadeite fought each other and they both fell into the ocean. When the Sailor Senshi ran to the edge of the runway, Jadeite came out of the ocean. Jadeite said that Tuxedo Kamen had died. Then Jadeite used his power to move the airplane at the Sailor Senshi. The Sailor Senshi just tried to run away. Luna came and reminded them that they had to fight against Jadeite. So Sailor Mars said that Sailor Moon should be the decoy. Sailor Moon complained but she ran and let the planes chase her. Sailor Mercury used her shabon spray and lured Jadeite. Then Sailor Mars put her anti-evil sign on Jadeite's back. The airplanes started to surround Jadeite. Then the Sailor Senshi gathered. Sailor Mars said, "Don't think girls are fools." Sailor Moon said, "Girls aren't always just crying." Sailor Mercury said, "You got caught in your own trap. Very foolish of you." Then Sailor Moon used her moon tiara action. Jadeite ducked Sailor Moon's attack, but one of the airplanes was right behind him. Jadeite struggled back to Queen Beryl. Jadeite was going to tell her the identity of the Sailor Senshi, but Queen Beryl was very upset at his failure and put him in a forever sleep. The Sailor Senshi went to the edge of the runway to look for Tuxedo Kamen. Luna said that they should give up, but Sailor Moon started crying. Then Tuxedo Kamen came up behind them. Sailor Mercury asked, "Why do you always help us, Tuxedo Kamen?" Sailor Moon said, "Probably because he loves me." Sailor Mars asked, "Who are you?" Tuxedo Kamen said, "I can't tell you my identity now. Sailor Moon, Sailor Mercury, Sailor Mars, please treasure your friendship. Bye!" Then Tuxedo Kamen went off.
