Koichi: Kinoko… do you think they'll do it?
Kinoko: I hope so
Kinoko closes her fist and walks toward Usagi and the others. She makes a deep sigh, preparing to announce something to them.
Kinoko: guys… since we are going to America, we need to learn how to speak English…
Usagi: oh yeah, I forgot about that
Everyone is sitting around Kinoko's living room. Even Setsuna, Michiru, Haruka and Hotaru are gathered around.
Michiru: but we have no time
Kinoko: exactly… but I have something that might help us through this little problem
Minako: what?
Kinoko opens her fist and displays small pills in her hands.
Makoto: what are they?
Kinoko: well, they are translators… voice translators
Luna: what?
Kinoko: they will translate our language to English
Ami: amazing… but, how do they work?
Kinoko: well, you swallow them… that’s it
Rei: sounds simple
Kinoko: the only trick to this is that I only have one for each of us… that’s it, no more
Hotaru: do they really work?
Kinoko: yeah… sure
Koichi rolls his eyes in doubt.
Kyuuichirou: you did a good job in solving that problem Kinoko-chan
Kinoko: thanks… also, I have these ear buds in my room, they will translate English to Japanese for us, so we can understand what people are saying to us
Artemis: how did you make this?
Kinoko: Koichi helped a lot, it was hard
Beano: well, we better get ready
Rei: he's right…
Makoto: that’s fine
Hotaru: so, what do we do here?
Luna: we will make sure the Master does not attack and if he does, we must stop him at all cost
Artemis: so… another big battle, this one will most definitely be the hardest one yet
Luna: Usagi, you must be careful… the same goes to the rest of you, the future of Crystal Tokyo is in your hands
Artemis: you guys better come back safe
Minako: we will Artemis
Everyone heads out of Kinoko's apartment. Usagi runs to her house and posts a note on her front door for her family. Rei, Ami and Minako do the same. Makoto and Kyuuichirou sit side by side at the airport, waiting for the others to join with them.
Kyuuichirou: I'm glad that we get to be with each other again
Makoto: me too… I hope that we are never separated again
Kyuuichirou: I hope we are not either
They both hold each others hand. They continue to wait. Planes can be seen, from the windows, lifting off the ground heading for their destination. Kyuuichirou begins to think of his past encounters with the Master's henchmen, hoping to end his reign of terror soon. Then Kyuuichirou remembers Messer and how he said the Master was even stronger. Is it possible to defeat the Master at all? Suddenly Usagi and the rest of the gang find Makoto and Kyuuichirou.
Usagi: there you are!
Rei: are you guys ready for this flight
Beano: this structure is amazing… it is like a palace… but, different… like a commoner's palace
Minako: that’s close
Beano watches as planes lift off the ground.
Beano: this is truly an amazing future we have
Kyuuichirou: it is my friend, it is
Ami: our flight is about ready to leave… we better head on
Everyone begins to walk onto the plane. Beano looks in every direction; every step seeming more interesting than the last. Makoto begins to struggle while finding her seat.
Kyuuichirou: is something wrong?
Makoto: no, nothing is wrong…
After Kinoko finds her seat, she quickly sits down and looks outside her window.
Kinoko: this is all so weird… I can't believe what's going on…
She notices that there is barely anyone on the plane.
Kinoko: that’s funny… there's no one on this flight, except for us
Rei: so, we are heading for the battle
Usagi: it's so scary too… but I hope Mamo-chan is OK
Beano: is this a… plane? What does it do?
Minako: it's like a big metal bird that flies to where ever we tell it too
Beano: what wonders the future has for us…
Minako: I hope that they are wonder-FUL
Beano: yes, we must ensure that the future remains peaceful
Kyuuichirou: this experience is a first for me… I have never been on an airplane
Makoto: really?
Kyuuichirou: that is right…
Flight attendant: be sure to buckle your seatbelt
The long flight to America begins. They must find and meet with Myk, the great warrior, who will help defeat the Master. Myk, too, must be ready for the Master. The future will be determined in this battle. As they journey toward the U.S. the sky begins to grow dark, as if day were disappearing. Kinoko takes her small pocket organizer out of her pocket and turns it on. Everyone on the plane is sleeping. Kinoko tries to remain silent.
Kinoko: Koichi? Koichi, do you read?
Koichi: (blurred) yes… I can
Kinoko: good, I think we're getting close to America
Koichi: (blurred) why are… you whispering?
Kinoko: everyone is sleeping
Koichi: (blurred) I see
Kinoko: how is everything in Tokyo?
Koichi: (blurred) it has gotten darker… and darker… I have not seen… much sunlight…
Kinoko: yeah? That sounds bad
Koichi: (blurred) hey… well, Luna wants to talk…
Kinoko: ok
Luna: (blurred) Kinoko… is everything… ok?
Kinoko: yes
Luna: (blurred) that’s good… how is everyone… else?
Kinoko: sleeping
Luna: (blurred) well… you better get some… rest yourself
Kinoko: ok, I will
Luna: (blurred) bye
Kinoko: bye
Kinoko closes the organizer and slips it back in her pocket.
Kinoko: {sigh} I don't wanna sleep… but I am… {yawn} tired…
Suddenly, Kinoko falls asleep. She finds herself in a secluded area.
Kinoko: where am I?
A man with red hair flashes across her mind.
Kinoko: huh? What was that?
An angel flashes across her mind.
Kinoko: what's going on?
She begins to look around. Then, a clear blue sky appears. Kinoko looks down and finds herself standing on fresh green grass. In the distance she sees three structures that reach into the heavens.
Kinoko: what are those?
Suddenly a bright light emits from the three structures. Kinoko stares into the light.
Kinoko: …
Kinoko continues to sleep in her seat. Kyuuichirou glances at her.
Kyuuichirou: [there is something about her… I do not even think that Beano's story tells us everything about her… and everything the others think about Kinoko; I do not believe it is true… I feel that there is more to Kinoko than anyone knows]
As they reach closer to Nevada, Kyuuichirou still ponders his thoughts on Kinoko and at the same time worries about the fight ahead. He thinks it might have been a bad idea to let the Sailor Senshi get involved in this fight. Even with their new transformation sticks, will it be enough? And, what if history repeats itself and one of the Senshi die, like Jupiter? But this is a battle against evil. If they do lose, the Sailor Senshi would have to face these evils anyway.
Flight Attendant: I hope you enjoyed your flight
Everyone gets up and stretches. Afterwards, they exit the plane. They head off to find their luggage and hunt for a taxi.
Usagi: the skies out here are so dark…
Kinoko: oh yeah… one more detail guys… swallow the pills
Minako: don't we need water?
Kinoko: no, just swallow
Kinoko dispenses the pills to everyone.
Everyone: {gag} AGH!
Kinoko: errr…
Then, while cringing, Kinoko sticks the ear buds in her ears.
Kinoko: these are horrible…
Kinoko gives a pair of ear buds to everyone else. They all place them in their ears.
Kinoko: ok, we can understand English… and we can speak it too
Rei: how come you didn't tell us these pills would choke us?!
Kinoko: well… just be glad that they actually work
Rei: what?
Kinoko: uhh… nothing, anyway… Koichi warned me that we should change our identities
Makoto: what for?
Kinoko: so we don't arouse suspicion
Kyuuichirou: so, we get new names?
Kinoko: and how! Koichi made these great fake ID's
Usagi: really?
Kinoko: yeah… I'll tell you our new names
Minako: this is so fun
Kinoko: ok… Usagi, you are… Serena
Serena: cool
Kinoko: Ami, you are… Amy
Amy: ok…
Kinoko: Rei… you are Raye…
Raye: but that is the same name
Kinoko: ask Koichi… he's the one who did it… Minako, you are… Mina
Mina: Koichi sure doesn't use much imagination
Kinoko: it gets worse… Mako-chan, you are… Lita
Makoto: that doesn't sound bad
Kinoko: well, check this out… Kyuu-chan… you are… John
John: is that bad?
Kinoko: eh… oh, yeah, my new name is… Helen…
Serena: that sounds like a nice name
Helen: I guess…
Beano: what's my name?
Helen: your name is… Beano
Beano: that’s good, one less name to memorize for everyone
Raye: (sarcastically) ok, Helen, let's get a taxi
John: we have to find a place to lodge, of course
Helen: of course… Koichi planned everything… it's as if he knew this was going to happen
Suddenly, two taxis drive up as they exit the airport.
Helen: TAXI!!!
Serena: where? Where?!
Everyone runs up to the taxis.
Helen: hello, may we…
Taxi driver: need a ride?
Helen: yes, please
Taxi driver: where to?
Helen hands the taxi driver a piece of paper.
Taxi driver: …you sure?
Helen: yes sir
Taxi driver: hmm… well, you all won't fit in this car… heh, lucky for you my bud was followin' me
The other taxi driver waves his hand out of his window.
John: we'll split up, Kin… I mean, Helen, Mak… I mean Lita, and I will go with this taxi, the rest of you can go in the other
Helen walks up to Serena.
Helen: here you go, this piece of paper will tell you where to go
Serena: ok!
Everyone heads into a taxi. The taxi drivers, Beano and John put the luggage in the trunks of the taxis. Then, they head off for their destination.

In Japan, Koichi, Artemis, Luna, Haruka and the remaining of the group walk down toward the Tokyo Tower, which is now blocked off.
Luna: it looks like everyone is interested in what has been going on
Artemis: I just hope nothing else happens until everyone comes back
Koichi: well, we gotta be on guard… I know that Amo will come our way soon
Haruka: what if Kyuuichirou is still under control of the Master? They probably gave you this information on purpose
Koichi: No way! This is all real!
Luna: let's not jump to conclusions
Michiru: I'm sure Kyuuichirou is on our side
Hotoru: he even has a kindness that seems to glow when you are around him
Haruka: but still, anything can happen
Luna: well, they do have Kinoko-chan with them
Koichi: what about her?
Luna: well, I think she could be an important piece of this puzzle
Koichi: what puzzle?
Luna: Amo, the Master, the great warriors, and the Senshi
Koichi: do you think she connects everything?
Luna: I think so… but there could be more to this puzzle
Haruka: hmm… that is something to ponder…
***
The Master sits on his thrown, in his weary thrown room. He sits with his fist on his chin. His loyal soldier walks up to him.
The Soldier: I have the reports
The Master: go on
The Soldier: in the battle against the planet Totend… we lost about one fourth of your army
The Master: grr…
The Soldier stares at the Master, who does not seem as upset.
The Soldier: are you… not mad?
The Master: (calmly)…after I get the chosen one… after the second one is gone… and after I make the Silver Senshi my queen… I will defeat Totend… She is so powerful, it can be done… Totend will be mine
The Soldier: you want that planet just as bad as earth…
The Master: exactly… my army will grow even stronger!
The Soldier: yes it will, sir
The Master: heh heh heh… and how is earth anyway? Is the battle plan ready?
The Soldier: everyone and everything is ready… just give the word
The Master: hm hm hm… goodbye Senshi… but, now, I must go visit my little factory
The Soldier: so, attack?
The Master: well, duh!
The Soldier: yes, Master
The soldier slowly leaves. The Master rises from his thrown. He begins to look around the darkness that is his thrown room.
The Master: evil will rule all… I am the master of all that is evil, no one person will stand in my way… the universe will be mine! HA HA HA HA HA! HA HA HA HA!
***
The taxis arrive at the hotel. Beano and John step out of the taxis first.
Beano: and that was a… car?
John: hm… I'm starting to sense something strange
Beano: what is it?
John: I am unsure
Everyone else steps out of the taxi. Serena begins to stretch herself. Lita walks up next to John.
Lita: Kin… I mean, Helen says that this hotel should be almost deserted, the prices are low and we are close to this "Area 51" place
John: is that so?
Lita: she said that this place has no one staying because of what's been happening around here… like monsters and demons
Taxi driver: holy mother of pearl… listen to this…
Announcer: and this announcement comes from Washington, D.C. The president of the United States, has been assassinated… someone, who has overpowered all security in the White House, going by the name "Master" committed this crime, and proclaims that the world now belongs to him… the national guard is said to be wiped out completely by "the Master's" army… even the United Nations has been destroyed by this man's army… coast guards…
Taxi driver: is it the truth?
Helen: uh, here's the fee, keep the change
Helen hands money to both cab drivers. Then, the taxis drive off.
Raye: this is it then… the Master is starting to take over…
Serena: does this mean we have no chance?
Mina: and it happened so fast? How could it be?
Beano: the Master did take over the first so many planets in only a couple of days back in the Silver Millennium … so, I'm not shocked about this
Amy: well, let's get some rest
John: good idea Amy…
Serena: I'm so tired… look, the sun is gone too…
Amy: but according to my watch… it is not night yet
Raye: did you set it to American time?
Amy: …yes
Beano: the clouds of battle hover above us… there is no turning back, and only the strong will survive
Somewhere in the desert of Nevada, Myk begins his final training session. Behind Myk, is Mamoru, who wields a gun, the same goes with Kameko, who is in front of Myk.
Kameko: ready? Aim! Fire!
Two shots are heard. Quickly, Myk slaps one bullet into the air, then he slaps the other bullet into the air. Then, a loud crack rings in the sky.
Kameko: wow… you've gotten even faster Myk! You blocked two high velocity bullets!
Myk: thanks to you guys
Mamoru: we had to do our best to get you ready… I just hope that it's enough to beat the Master
Myk: well, I'm sure I'll beat him… I've never been so sure of anything in my entire life!
Kameko: that's the spirit Myk!
Mamoru: now, we must find this place you wanted to go to… what was it Kameko?
Kameko: Area 51
Myk: Area 51… the battlefield, only I will emerge victorious!
Mamoru: [I hope that he can win… he's our only hope]
And now it will begin. The race for Area 51. The race to save the earth from destruction. The Master seems to be in control now, but what about Amo? Who is this person? And, will Myk be strong enough to beat the Master? And what about the other Senshi? If Tokyo is attacked, will they be able to stop the destruction of the Master? And Kinoko seems to be on everyone's mind. Is she a Senshi? And if not, what is she? What will lie ahead of Area 51? A great battle is about to begin.
