Inside the lobby of a fancy hotel, a little boy is looking at a jewel inside a glass case. Suddenly the lights go off. When they come on again, the jewel is gone.
Tuxedo Kamen runs through the night, clutching the jewel in his hands.
At the Tsukino house the next morning, Ikuko-mama is washing dishes. Usagi comes in in her pajamas, hair down and Luna in her arms.
‘Mama, I’ll have two fried eggs.’ She says.
‘Sorry, morning service has ended!’ Ikuko-mama tells her. ‘Just how long did you plan to sleep?’
‘Aww, it doesn’t matter, it’s the weekend!’ Usagi complains, as she sits down and turns on the tv.
Who should be on TV but Minako, who is in London, talking about how great it is to work with artists from all over the world.
‘The recording for my new single in London is going great!’ She says with a smile. ‘Please look forward to it!’ She waves, and the program fades up.
‘Minako has a new single!’ Usagi says happily. ‘I can’t wait! I wonder what it will be like? I’m definitely gonna buy it!’ She has turned back to the table, but suddenly she hears the newscaster say ‘Tuxedo Kamen’. Usagi turns back to the TV quickly.
‘Lately there has been an increase in the number of thefts by Tuxedo Kamen, but he has recently released a statement to the press. He says that there is a mysterious jewel called that Maboroshi no Ginzuisho in Japan, and this is what he is searching for.’
On the street, crowds of people are watching the new broadcast on the huge screen on the wall of a building.
The caster announced that the Maboroshi no Ginzuisho is rumoured to be worth billions of yen.
‘Billions of yen?’ Echoes Ikuko-mama, who has stopped cleaning to listen. ‘Where’s that jewel that grandma left us!? I have to go look for it!’ She runs off.
’Luna…’ Usagi whispers.
‘This is bad!’ Luna says.
The Crown Karaoke Center. The four girls sit in the secret karaoke room, watching the news. The newscaster is explaining that according to the statement of the thief Tuxedo Kamen, the MnG gives off light, and glitters with all the colors of the rainbow. She shows conceptual drawing that the staff as created.
Luna turns off the TV. ‘I can’t believe he talked about the Maboroshi no Ginzuisho to the media!’
‘I saw a lot of people going crazy over it on my way here.’ Mako admits. ‘Everyone wants to find it now.’
‘Isn’t that what he wants?’ Ami asks. ‘With so many people looking for it, the volume of information he gathers is so much greater.’
‘It will just make people steal form each other.’ Luna says. ‘And it might effect the Princess as well!’
‘Maybe this is what Sailor V meant when she said Tuxedo Kamen was our enemy.’ Rei says. ‘He certainly seems like bad news.’
‘And he’s a thief.’ Mako agrees.
‘ But he’s saved me so many times!’ Usagi protests.
‘Right, probably to trick you.’ Rei says.
‘That’s mean!’ Usagi cries, jumping up. ‘That’s not why he does it!’
‘How do you know?’ Rei asks.
‘I…I just do…’ Usagi sits down, pouting.
‘Usagi…are you…do you like Tuxedo Kamen?’ Mako asks, peering at her.
The other two look at her and gasp as Usagi looks down, remembering giving Tuxedo Kamen her hankerchief and how he smiled at her.
Usagi grabs the mic, and yells. ‘I’ll confess it! I…like Tuxedo Kamen!!!’ But everyone has already left. Usagi puts the mic back and sighs. ‘There no way I can say the way things are now.’ She says as she walks up the stairs. ‘But Tuxedo Kamen has to have some reason, I know it!’
‘Please…find the Maboroshi no Ginzuisho….Please…’ Begs the shadowy figure of a girl. Mamoru wakes up. He gazes at the top hat on his desk. ‘No matter what I have to do…I’ll find the Maboroshi no Ginzuisho…’ He mutters darkly. He picks up his tuxedo, and Usagi’s hankerchief falls out of it. He stares at it, remembering when she gave it to him.
The Dark Kingdom. In her throne room, Beryl is using her powers to levitate Jadeite, who lies unconscious.
‘Jadeite…always failing so foolishly. But we commend you on your heart, which longs to serve us so faithfully.’
Purple-black light flows out of her hands onto Jadeite, who shrinks, changing into a gemstone. ‘Store your power for the time being, for our sake…’ She smiles, blowing on the gemstone, which turns black. As she turns away, Nephrite is in the shadows, watching her jealously.
‘Why does her Majesty shower those such as Jadeite and Zoisite with love!?’
Nephrite pauses in the stone hallway to pound his fist into the wall.
‘ I must find the Maboroshi no Ginzuisho!’ His eyes widen. ‘Certainly that man called Tuxedo Kamen has started something strange. It might work to have him find it, and then steal it from him!’
In the bookstores, all the magazines and newspaper have headlines on the Maboroshi no Ginzuisho. Huge crowds throng the jewelry stores clammering to know whether or not their jewels are the Maboroshi no Ginzuisho.
At the Tsukino House, Usagi and her mother are watching TV, on which Professor Aoi, a man ‘knowlegeble about the Maboroshi no Ginzuisho’ tells viewers that it could be somewhere you wouldn’t expect, and that if anyone has an information they should call the phone number on the screen. Ikuko-mama rushes to write the number down. Usagi just watches her. The announcer on TV warns that there has been a rise in thefts in the past few days, and that there seems to be many Tuxedo Kamens. Usagi imagines a parade of strange fake Tuxedo Kamens. The announcer warns listeners to keep their jewels in a safe place, and Ikuko-mama rushes around to hide her grandmother’s necklace. >p>
A older man smoking a cigar rushes over to Rei as she walks home from school. ‘Hino Rei-Sensei!’ He gushes, bowing. ‘It’s a pleasure to meet you. I’m Narita, president of the Narita company.’ He hands he his business card. ‘Please use your powers to protect my Ginzuisho!’ He bows deeply, and Rei looks at him like he’s insane.
‘Wait a minute…’ She protests.
At Juban Middle School, the kids are fooling around as they clean the classroom. Usagi stares out the window. ‘This has become such a big deal…’ She thinks.
‘I hope Tuxedo Kamen is okay….’ Usagi starts as Naru pops up in front of her.
‘What are you spacing out for?’ She asks. ‘Thinking about a guy you like?’
Usagi turns to her, looking down. Naru pulls her down to into a seat.
‘So you do have someone you like!’
‘Do you?’ Usagi asks.
‘I’ll tell if you do.’ Naru teases.
‘That’s not fair!’ Usagi protests.
‘Who is it?’ Naru asks.
‘You don’t know him.’ Usagi tells her. She stands up. ‘Actually, I don’t really know him either….’ She admits.
‘What’s that mean?’ Naru asks.
‘He just appears out of nowhere, and then disappears into nowhere.’ Usagi tells her.
‘What kind of a guy is he?’ Naru asks, confused.
‘That’s the thing, I don’t know.’ Usagi says.
‘Oh well just ask! Next time he appears out of nowhere.’ Naru tells her.
‘But it kind of complicated…’ Usagi protests.
‘If you like someone, you have to be forward!’ Naru tells her. ‘You’ll regret it if you don’t.’
‘Huh?’ Usagi turns to look at her, surprised. Then her magic cell phone rings.
‘Usagi, when you’re done, we’re all meeting at the Crown.’ Luna tells her.
‘I’ve heard of this company before.’ Mako says, looking at the card.
‘It’s one of the top class companies in the country.’ Ami says.
‘So the President says the MnG is at his house, huh?’ Luna asks.
‘It hasn’t been appraised yet, but he’s worried that Tuxedo Kamen will steal it.’ Rei says.
‘So that’s why he wants you to come?’ Mako asks.
‘As if I could get rid of burglers.’ Rei sighs. ‘This is the one time I wish people wouldn’t take stock in my powers.’ Ami watches as Rei grips her skirt tight in her hands under the table.
‘Still, the possibility that this is the real thing is high.’ Luna says. ‘I think you should go.’
‘I’ll go.’ Ami volunteers, standing up.
‘You, Ami-chan?’ Mako asks, surprised.
‘All I have to do is look the part, I can’t just say I’m Rei’s apprentice.’ Ami says with a smile. ‘I want to try.’
Rei looks at her, eyes wide. Ami smiles.
‘Let’s do that then.’ Mako says. ‘I’ll go too. Tuxedo Kamen might come after it.’
Usagi looks up at that. ‘Oh! I’ll come too!’ She says, standing with a grin.
‘Don’t forget that Tuxedo Kamen is the enemy!’ Luna says with a stern face.
‘Right…’ Usagi agrees, looking down.
The Narita yard is filled with policemen, at the doors and stationed all around. Ami arrives in a black car, wearing a miko outfit and her glasses. She steps out of the cars, smiling and adjusting her glasses.
Narita welcomes her enthusiastically. ‘I feel so much safer with Hino Rei-sensei’s most promising apprentice!’
Ami sits down on the couch. ‘The consultant, Mr. Aoi will be here shortly.’
Narita informs Ami. She smiles, and adjusts her glasses.
Mako and Usagi peek around the corner into the yard. They look at each other. ‘Let’s go.’ Mako says. They pull out their magic cell phones. Mako transforms into a cop, and walks through the policement towards the houses. Usagi, transformed into a tree cutter, watches from the trees. ‘There’s so many policemen…’ She murmurs. ‘If Tuxedo Kamen comes, he’ll be caught for sure! Please don’t come…’
A man in a tuxedo walks through the brush.
Mr. Aoi is led in, and Narita thanks him for coming. He looks at Ami. ‘She’s the apprentice of a psychic; she’s come to protect the Ginzuisho.’
Aoi looks at her creepily. ‘But of course. And where is the Ginzuisho?’
‘I’ve got it safe right here.’ Narita pulls it out of his jacket. The gem glitters in the light. Ami and Aoi stare at it.
‘How pretty…’ Ami says. Aoi looks at her and she looks away quickly, adjusting her glasses.
Outside, Usagi is still watching from her tree. ‘I can’t see inside. What’s going on? Is it the real thing?’ She wonders. Then she hears some noise in the bushes and looks down to see Tuxedo Kamen.
‘Tuxedo Kamen! They’ll find him!’ She presses her mouth together, worried. Luna pops up in her head, telling her not to forget he’s the enemy. On the other side Naru pops up, telling her she has to be forward. Usagi pauses, unsure, and Naru pops up again yelling that she will regret it. Usagi nods.
Inside, Aoi tells Narita that the jewel has the features of the MnG. Ami stares at it. Just then, someone yells ‘It’s Tuxedo Kamen!’ Narita and Ami race to the window, to see a suspiciously familiar (and feminine) Tuxedo Kamen waving her arms and yelling ‘Here I am!’ The police, including Mako, rush forward. Mako stops.
‘Usagi?’ She says. Tuxedo Usagi laughs and runs off. The police run after her. She slips into the bushes and pulls Tuxedo Kamen away with her.
Ami and Narita are still looking out the window. Aoi picks up the jewel.
‘Wait!’ Ami cries. ‘I knew you were suspicious!’ Aoi runs out of the house with the jewel, and Ami runs after him. Aoi hands the jewel to Nephrite, who is waiting outside.
‘Nice work.’ He says, snapping his fingers. Aoi collapses to the ground. Nephrite smiles.
‘Hold it!’ Mako yells.
‘Give back the Ginzuisho!’ Ami yells.
‘Why you…’ Nephrite growls. He leaps over the stone wall. Mako and Ami transform. They flip into front of Nephrite, cutting off his path.
'Mercury Power!'
'Jupiter Power'
'...Make up!...'
Ami and Mako transform.
‘I’m the soldier of water and knowledge, Sailormercury!’
‘The soldier of the wind and courage, Sailorjupiter!’
‘In the name of Mercury….’
‘In the name of Jupiter…’
‘We’ll punish you!’
‘What the hell are you talking about?’ Nephrite yells, blasting them.
Usagi and Tuxedo Kamen press themselves against a wall as the police run by. ‘Thank goodness!’ Usagi says. Tuxedo Kamen looks at her.
‘Um…’ He says, in a deep voice. Usagi blanches. It’s not Tuxedo Kamen’s voice. Sure enough, He rips off his mask, and it is not the real Tuxedo Kamen.
‘Why did you do that? Wait…you’re a woman?!’ He pulls of his gloves and strokes her hand, a lecherous smile on his face. Usagi screams and kicks him. The police come running, and grab him. Then they catch sight of Usagi. ‘There’s another one!’ They run after her. Usagi finds herself at a dead end. The policemen are getting closer.
‘Sailormoon! Transform!’ Yells Tuxedo Kamen’s voice.
‘Oh, right!’ Usagi rips off her top hat and mask, and transforms. The police find nothing there but her hat and mask.
Meanwhile, Nephrite and the senshi are still fighting. He blasts them again, and starts to run away, but they flip and cartwheel in front of him.
‘You can’t run.’ Mercury tells him, shaking her finger at him.
‘Shining Aqua Illusion!’
‘Flower Hurricane!’ Nephrite yells, his fists clenches and a ball of energy forms around him, protecting him from the attacks and blasting the girls. The ‘Ginzuisho’ falls to the ground and shatters.
‘It wasn’t the real thing!’ He cries, and sweeps off.
Night has fallen. Sailormoon and the real Tuxedo Kamen are hiding behind a truck at the harbor.
‘It seems you saved a fake.’ He remarks.
‘I thought it was you.’ Sailormoon explains. ‘It was stupid of me.’ He smiles at her. She looks up and smiles back for a moment before her face grows serious again.
‘Why did you tell them about the Ginzuisho?’ She asks.
‘Because I don’t have power like you guys. But…I wanted the Ginzuisho no matter what.’
‘Why?’
‘In order to figure out who I am.’ He explains, turning away.
‘What do you mean?’ She asks. He looks out onto the glowing water and remembers his dream of the girl begging him for the Ginzuisho. A police siren sounds, and he starts to run.
‘Wait!’ Sailormoon calls. ‘You’ve saved me so many times, but I don’t know your name, or your face! So, I…’ He turns slightly.
‘It’s better that you don’t. Probably.’ He runs off, leaving Sailormoon staring after him.
‘Tuxedo Kamen…’
'I see…so, it wasn’t the Ginzuisho.’ Rei says.
‘Right. So there really wasn’t any need for you to go.’ Ami tells her, smiling. Rei watches her.
‘Thank you…’ She says. Ami shakes her head, still smiling.
‘Usagi!’ Mako says loudly. ‘Tuxedo Kamen is our enemy!’
‘No! Tuxedo Kamen has reasons of his own, so…’
‘What has he put into your head now?’ Rei asks.
‘Sheesh.’ Mako says. ‘From now on, you’re forbidden to get near him.’
‘Why won’t you believe me!’ Usagi stamps.
‘You can’t trust thieves.’
Usagi sits down, dejectly, and Ami comes over and puts a hand on her shoulder. ‘Ami-chan!’ Usagi throws her arms around her.
‘And it seems like the craze over the Ginzuisho will end as just a fad.’ Luna says.
‘But…even with all of this, for the real one not to appear…’ Ami says.
‘The Princess might have it.’ Luna says.
‘Huh!?’ Usagi looks away, worried.
Zoisite is composing music.
‘The title is….yes…’Requiem for the Princess’…
