Usagi: Time for the two of us I always wished for... And I finally got it.

Usagi: Hey! Who's that hanging on to my Mamo-chan!?

Usagi: I thought I had finally gotten some alone time for the both of us!

Chibiusa: You're... Usagi Tsukino...?

Usagi: Huh?

Chibiusa: If you're Usagi Tsukino, you should have the Illusionary Silver Crystal. Hand it over. Come on, hurry!

Rei: I had a bad feeling about something.

Chibiusa: I'll watch you for a while!

Ami: I didn't think we'd be using these again so soon...

Makoto: It's starting again, huh...?

Text: The shadow of a new enemy approaching...

Usagi: What did you do to Papa and the others!? Turn them back!

Chibiusa: ...No.

Usagi: Ah, hey!

Luna: That's...!

Usagi: That's... A door...?

Pluto: Wait! I won't let you past here. I will erase those who bring danger!

Text: Invited by a mysterious girl, Usagi and the others go to 30th century Crystal Tokyo!

Text: They stand against the dark crystal...!

Chibiusa: Hey... Is Sailor Moon strong?

Mamoru: Yeah. She's invincible.

Chibiusa: I wonder... If maybe, she'll save mom?

Venus: If it's all five of us, we can do this!

Moon: Time to transform! The pretty guardian clad in a sailor suit! Sailor Moon! I'll punish you in the name of the moon!
