The Queen prepares for battle. Nehelenia breaks a mirror and scatters thousands of the evil fragments on Earth. Little Hotaru senses the danger. A new battle has begun. Pg. 6 Bunny and the others are saying farewell to Chibiusa, who wishes to return to the future. The girl has not seen her parents for a long time. Suddenly something changes in the night sky... The fragments of Nehelenia's mirror look like shooting stars while they are falling on the earth. Chibiusa cannot return to her dimension. Pg. 7 Haruka and Michiru first meet the danger which menaces the earth. They are attacked by many women, born from crystals, who look strangely familiar to them. Could it be that Nehelenia has come back with new and stronger powers? Pg. 8 The peace is over. The girls must once again transform into senshi. Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune go into action and use all of their powers. Both of the sailor senshi succeed in beating the enemy with their most powerful weapons. But no one knows who is behind this attack. Pg. 9 Maybe Sailor Pluto has an explanation for these events? In any case, there's something going on! Little Hotaru, who was a baby only a few hours ago, grows, and readies herself to turn into Sailor Saturn. She senses the menacing danger. But who is the enemy? Pg. 10 Meanwhile, the evil glass shards have worked their way into the mirrors of the city. Whoever looks into these mirrors will be hypnotized and his energy will be stolen. Bunny has not noticed that Mamoru is also a victim of the enemy. Nehelenia wants to take away all that Sailor Moon loves; therefore she kidnaps Mamoru. The senshi cannot stop her from pulling Mamoru into the mirror with her. Pg. 11 Before the final battle, little Hotaru sees the spirit of Sailor Saturn. At that moment, the senshi awakens and stands up to the dangers that she expects. In the child, Hotaru, the senshi awakens. She grows and is ready for battle. A dark shadow lies over the long, golden odango (pigtails) and the pink cheeks: Sailor Moon is in great danger! Pg. 12 The senshi are finally complete and ready for battle. Because she wants to save Mamoru and the earth, Sailor Moon obtains new powers and transforms into Eternal Sailor Moon. Nehelenia tries to use her hypnotic powers to let Sailor Moon forget her true identity, and it is effective. Pg. 13 Sailor Moon awakens from her hypnotic state. The memory of her beloved Mamoru gives her the power to free the others from the Queen. Nehelenia sleeps in the mirror once again, after she realizes that her hate for Sailor Moon stems from her own loneliness. Perhaps she will find peace after this realization. Pgs. 14 and 15 ***THREE LIGHTS*** Pg. 16 Since their arrival, they have been idolized by everyone, especially the girls! Bunny and her friends are also drawn towards them. No one knows much about them. They became successful pop stars overnight. Nothing is known about their history. Pg. 17 The mysterious Three Lights are not just good singers. Their dancing is simply awesome, and they are outstanding actors. Fans grovel at their feet. When they are not in the spotlight, they are more reserved. Their songs are often about a legendary Princess, whom they wish to recover. Pg. 18 What are their secret identities? The "Three Lights" are Sailors from a distant solar system, who are looking for their missing Princess on Earth. There they assumed human forms and disguise themselves as a men's pop group. Their songs appeal to their Princess to remember them. Pg. 19 Because they do not know what has become of their Princess, they trust no one on the earth, everyone could be an enemy. Because they are already reserved in their everyday lives, at first they avoid contact as Sailors. They only fight the enemies sent by Galaxia, often on the side of Sailor Moon, but they aren't really allied with her. When they know who Sailor Moon really is, they avoid Bunny and the others. Whoever has anything to do with the Sailor Senshi is their enemy at the moment, because this is a Sailor War. Pg. 20 Sailor Star Fighter The first and strongest of the Sailor Starlights is Sailor Star Fighter, who began the group. She is very resolute and the first to be willing to ally with the senshi of the Moon Kingdom. Together, they could beat their mutual enemies faster, and find her princess again. Pg. 21 Seiya The basis of the complete trust that they feel for each other is the friendship that Bunny had offered from the beginning. As a member of the band, he is in love with Bunny. But, unfortunately, his love will not be returned. Bunny continues to feel undying love for Mamoru. She only thinks of Seiya as a friend. Pg. 22 Sailor Star Maker Sailor Star Maker is the second Sailor Senshi. She always reminds them of the common goal which they pursue. She always wants Seiya to distance himself from Sailor Moon and not trust her so much. In her eyes, anyone could be an enemy, and she mistrusts everyone. Pg. 23 Taiki In everyday life she takes the identity of Taiki. Every girl swarms over him, also Minako. Taiki is the most serious of the three, and he has a sharp mind. Taiki is such a good student that Ami is envious. On top of that, he is a super sports player and an outstanding cook. A real dream boy... if he weren't so unapproachable! Pg. 24 Sailor Star Healer Behind her dainty body and the cute and harmless face, she is a strong senshi. She also does not forget her mission. She fights each opponent mercilessly, regardless of whether they are the senshi from Galaxia or from Sailor Moon's group. Pg. 25 Yaten In his daily life as a singer and star in the Three Lights, Yaten enjoys his role as a pop idol. He treats it casually when fans or his classmates worship him. Luna herself falls for his iridescent green eyes and forgets about poor Artemis! Yaten understands the attitudes of people better than Taiki. However, he trusts no one. Pg. 26 The best stories from Sailor Moon THREE NEW FRIENDS Pg. 27 Who was the woman whose voice awoke Nehelenia and sent her into a war against the Senshi? It seems to be a new enemy! Bunny has other worries at the moment. Mamoru has received a scholarship from a college in America, and that means: separation. Bunny promises to wait for him. As a reminder of their love, Mamoru gives her a ring, so that she will remember him until his return. Pg. 28 The others divert Bunny, so she will not thing of Mamoru all the time and grow pale and gloomy. Otherwise she has begun a new school year: everyone is learning a lot and must decide which sports group they should join. In this time Bunny meets a strange boy, who is completely stuck-up. He is not alone. With him are two friends, who are often as conceited as he is. Pg. 29 Who are the three? Bunny finds out quickly, when she visits the concert of a new pop group with her friends; the concert of a band that is storming the charts. She hardly believes her eyes when she realizes: ON THE STAGE IS THE BOY WHO SHE BRIEFLY MET, WITH HIS FRIENDS! He sings and dances with ease, as if he were always a much greater star. Pg. 30 The boy who Bunny knows is called Seiya, and seems to be the band's leader. Taiki, the second, is taller and looks very earnest. The third, Yaten, is the most beloved among the female fans. These three boys make up the famous band "Three Lights." Pg. 31 Bunny and the others are very excited. These three boy musicians are really hot! Pg. 32 Although the group is very new to the city, they already have many excited followers. There is hardly a girl who will not rave about them! The earnest Ami herself is also among them... Seiya, Taiki, and Yaten go to the same school as Bunny. Every girl in the school is excited; the boys are less so. Pg. 33 Everyone is astounded that Bunny already knows Seiya and often converses with him. The next surprise is less pleasant. A new enemy attacks and before the Sailors know what has happened... Three unknown Senshi appear and defeat the enemy in no time! Pg. 34 The trio present themselves with the name SAILOR STARLIGHTS! They are also sailor senshi, but no one has heard of them. Do they want to help Sailor Moon and her comrades, or do they have another agenda? The End of Sailor Fanbook #18 Check out my translation of the R movie comic at the back of the fanbook! Translated from the German text by Meiousei. Any and all mistakes herein are mine and mine alone. Sorry the translation sounds a little funny sometimes. It's hard to put something into English that makes perfect sense in German. Sometimes, I chose synonyms for the exact translation so it would make more sense. I can be reached at puuchan375@bishoujosenshi.com if anyone has questions. A couple of translation notes for those not familiar with Japanese and German: Senshi or Soldier? I sort of flipped back and forth using the words "senshi" and "sailor" to translate the German word "Kriegerin." (the "in" at the end of "Kriegerin" indicates femininity) The actual translation of "Kriegerin" into Japanese would be "Senshi," and into English it would be "warrior," or more specifically "soldier." If you want, you can also call them "Sailor Scouts," as the Mixx manga and American dub do. So I just used the Japanese and English words, but they both mean the same thing. Odango? Odango what you would call the hairstyle of Sailor Moon. It is a Japanese term. I just didn't feel right to use the English translation "pigtails."
