SuperS Volumes #12, 13, 14, 15

Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon Volumes #12, 13, 14, and 15 (SuperS Season)

Okay... I'm going to make the SuperS series summary alot shorter than the S series. Why? Because the S series was basically the story revolving around Saturn... in the other series, she just acts as a supporting senshi. So... here we go:

Most of us know the story of the SuperS season... the Dead Moon Circus arrives, headed by the beautiful Queen Nepherenia. Below her is Zirconia, who's in charge of the Amazon Quartet and the Amazon Trio. They're after Pegasus (or Helios), who has the golden crystal.

Well, anyway, all of the outer senshi live in their own house (looks like a sweet little cottage ^_^)... um... somewhere where they don't tell us. Its been about 6 months since Haruka, Michiru, and Setsuna have agreed to raise little baby Hotaru. Since then, Hotaru has grown at a remarkable rate and her mental skills are beyond normal. She's slightly bratty and super perky when she's around everyone.

A little while ago, Setsuna was at a space laboratory where scientists were studying the solar eclipse. She feels a great disturbance when the moon is directly over the sun as she falls to the floor... she tries to transform, but she finds she can't. She thinks its a sign that their mission is over since they've chose a different path, so they all can't transform anymore. However, she worries for Hotaru since she's been growing at an abnormal rate since the eclipse... Setsuna wonders if its a sign of her awakening.

At that moment, a few kawaii kids enter the house... they've come by for their violin lessons (taught by Miss Michiru! ^_^) When its Hotaru's turn to play the violin, all the kids are expecting something from it.... suddenly, while Hotaru plays, ghostly forms of a pegasus and a girl (Chibi-Usa) come from behind her back. All the kids are scared and hold onto Michiru's dress. Michiru is shocked as she recognizes the ghostly girl as their "Small Lady." Hotaru stops playing her violin and runs after the ghosts as they pass through the halls. The Pegasus ghost falls to the floor as the girl crys over it. Michiru thinks worried,"From before, I could hardly imagine that Hotaru would grow up so bright and cheerful. But there are times when, for a moment, her eyes grow cold, like they're frozen. Just like Saturn..." The two ghosts dissapear, as Michiru puts her arms around Hotaru and Hotaru snaps out of it.
The other kids leave, but meanwhile, after dinner, while everyone's in the living room, Hotaru's eyes glaze over and she creates a simulation of the universe... Haruka is using her power to check and be in control of this little game. When she the time came when she simulated the recent past, the time of the last solar eclipse, the earth becomes dark... even after the eclipse had gone. Everyone gasps... Haruka tells Hotaru that its time for bath and bed... Hotaru says Okay, and leaves.

While Hotaru is in the bath, the others discuss the strange happenings. They know that new enemies have appeared, but they all can't transform anymore. Haruka wonders if its a sign that the inner senshi don't need them anymore to protect their princess... that they can do it all by themselves. They are all obviously upset by this.

While Hotaru is in the bath undressing, an image of Sailor Saturn appears in her mirror. It tells little Hotaru that its sleeping inside of her, her spirit that's protected by Saturn... and that she needs to awaken soon for her new mission. The image fades away.

While Hotaru's in the bath reading a book, images start flooding her mind of the other senshi... The image of Saturn appears on her forehead and she regains all her memories back, and has suddenly grown to about Chibi-Usa's age. She leaves the bath, gets a cute little dress on and talks to the outers. The others are surprised that Hotaru has grown about 6 years in about 10 minutes... Hotaru tells them that they no longer have to fight from a distance for their princess.. that they were reborn together with the inners, so they can fight right along beside them. She thanks Haruka, Michiru, and Setsuna for raising her until this day, and tells them its now her time to lead them to the inner senshi. She then holds out three heart shaped crystals to the others... she tells them that they're their signs for being soldiers.... she gives them to each outer. The Holy Chalice appears in the middle of the room... images of Mamoru and Usagi are shown (looks like their in pain/trouble). Hotaru then picks up a rose from a very pretty vace, holds it in her hands... but the rose turns black and withers away. The outer planets symbols show on each respective character... and they agree to go off again to help protect their princess.

Meanwhile, the inners in kind of a jam... being bound by vines from the Amazon Quartet... Usagi is back at home, coughing, obviously sick. Mamoru is even worse, as he's laying in bed coughing up blood. (ooh, isn't that pleasant... O_o)

The Outer Senshi suddenly appear before the Amazon Quartet and transform. They easily defeat the enemies (after they do their nifty introductions, of course... ^_^)
"I am the soldier of ruin and birth, and I carry the protection of the planet of silence, Saturn. I am Sailor Saturn!"
The inners are really surprised to see the outers... especially Saturn who's grown a HECK of alot since they last saw her.

Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Kamen appear (even though they're in serious pain) to help, since Usagi knows since she has the ginjousho, only she can defeat the enemy. Zirconia appears and blasts them with some sort of energy, as Usagi and Mamoru start to get younger and younger (but they look so cuutte!). Pegasus takes the prince and princess away trying to save them.

Meanwhile, the Amazon Quartet gloat that the senshi can't stop them... they run away with Chibi-Moon and Saturn in hot pursuit. They get in a fight, but all the while, Saturn is trying to pursuade the Amazons that they are only being manipulated. After awhile, after the fighting has died down a little, Saturn stretches out her hand to them... the Amazons stare at her in silence... then two of them reaches out hands to Saturn cautiously. Suddenly, a force cuts into the air knocking Saturn's and the two Amazon's hands back. Zirconia sucks the Amazons back into their four balls... she then attacks Saturn and Chibi-Moon sucking them into two shards of glass while they're in the middle of their attacks. The four balls and two shards of glass are transported to Queen Nepherenia who laughs delighted.

(Okay, going a little quicker now) Okiee... meanwhile, Usagi and Mamoru have returned to their normal size with the help of Helios... blah blah blah... they're traped in the world of nightmare, they break ouuutt, they fight Zirconia and follows her/him into the mirror where Queen Nepherenia reigns... Umm.. okay, Super Sailor Moon senses Chibi-Moon and Saturn's power (the light from the planet's protection) and breaks them free. Saturn finds the four balls in which the Amazon Quartet are stored and holds onto them. Soon, they are returned to the other senshi. They sense that Ellysion is in danger (the place where Mamoru reigned back during the Silver Millenium, the place where Helios protects, annndd its the place of dreams or something like that... ) Queen Nepherenia appears and they fight her... Mamoru and Usagi create new power between them to defeat Nepherenia, and while doing that, all the senshi appear in their way kewlies princess gear. While in that state, they are met with their SuperSoldier guardians... the Sailor princesses of the solar system (umm.. I'm guessing these lil Chibi forms of each senshi represent their power.) All the senshi put their power into Sailor Moon who becomes Eternal Sailor Moon (as Diana explains, the closest power to that of the queen). They all attack together and defeat the entire Dead Moon circus.

Everything is happy dandy again... Sailor Moon is in her queen state. Saturn comes up to her, kneels in front of her, and presents the four Amazon balls. She asks that Sailor Moon use her power on them. She does, and the Amazon Quartet appear out of the balls, appearing in Sailor fuku. They introduce themselves as the Astroid Senshi protectors of their princess, (Chibi-Usa... like Sailor Moon has her four guardians, and Chibi-Moon has her four.) The Astroid senshi arn't fully awakened yet, so they vanish and will appear until the right time has come for them to protect... Saturn tells them that they'll (the other senshi) will protect her in their place until they can awaken. Chibi-Usa also finds her future prince, Elios... he has to go back to Ellysion, but says he'll be back... Chibi-Usa says that maybe when he comes back, she'll be a real soldier and a real lady (which is her dream.... to be juuust like her elegant and wonderful mommy.) So everything's happy, and this section of the story (SuperS) is just soooo discustingly cute. Ewww. (but we like it juust as much! ^_^)
