Everything happened so fast.
It seemed like a dream.
The Rainbow Crystals responded to the tears of Sailor Moon and reformed into the Silver Crystal.
Sailor Moon was revealed to be the very Moon Princess all of the Sailor Scouts were sworn to defend.
Tuxedo Kamen’s identity as Chiba Mamoru was revealed.
Now, Tuxedo Kamen lay on the floor, critically injured, as the Moon Princess stood above him, eyes closed, both hands serenely clutching the Crescent Moon Wand with the Silver Crystal attached to it. A warm, glowing aura radiated from her, causing everyone, even Zoisite, to stare in awe.
“This warm aura…,” Luna whispered to herself. “It can only belong to the Moon Princess. She has finally awakened.”
“Sailor Moon’s the Moon Princess that we’ve been searching for,” Jupiter added.
“Right under our nose the whole time,” Knight said with a touch of amusement in his voice.
“And Mamoru-san is Tuxedo Kamen,” Mercury added. Mars merely nodded as her eyes remained fixed on Tuxedo Kamen.
The glow around the princess faded. Zoisite blinked as the effect wore off and scowled at her. “So, the Princess has awakened,” she said indifferently. “Then, I’ll kill you all and take the Silver Crystal!” She unleashed a blast of dark energy at her. The princess diffused the attack with the Crescent Moon Wand held directly in front of her face. Eyes still closed, she raised the wand overhead, where a brilliant blaze of light energy surged forth. The intensity of the emanation blasted Zoisite back into one of the stone pillars behind her and sent her crashing to the floor below.
“Tuxedo Kamen,” she said quietly, as she lowered the wand into her lap. “You have…,” she trailed off quietly, as if she could not finish her sentence. There was a difference in her voice, now that she was the Moon Princess instead of Sailor Moon. Her voice sounded… regal. A tear rolled down her cheek, dropping on Tuxedo Kamen.
Tuxedo Kamen stirred slightly, his head turning in her lap to look up at her. “Now, I remember,” he said weakly, raising a hand toward her face. Her eyes opened at the mention of her name. She clasped his hand in hers and held it to her cheek. “My Serenity. I am Endymion.”
“That’s right,” Serenity said quietly. “I am Serenity….” She closed her eyes and tilted her head back as another flash of light issued forth from her. “And you were Endymion.” As the glow subsided, the flowing garment she had worn as Princess Serenity was replaced by the familiar uniform of Sailor Moon. She then lifelessly slumped forward.
“Sailor Moon!” Venus exclaimed as the other Sailor Scouts and the cats rushed forward to check on their leader.
“Are they all right?” Knight asked.
Mercury and Venus quickly knelt down at Sailor Moon’s side, with Mercury sitting Sailor Moon up against her lap. Jupiter and Mars knelt by Tuxedo Kamen. Knight stood watch over everyone.
“They’re all right,” Venus confirmed after checking Sailor Moon, then Tuxedo Kamen. “They just passed out.”
“Thank goodness,” Mercury replied with relief.
“Her mind must’ve been overloaded with all those memories of her past life flooding in,” Artemis concluded. “She’ll be all right soon.”
“Mamoru-san, are you okay?” Mars said, shaking him lightly with one hand on his chest.
“He’s badly injured,” Jupiter pointed out.
“That’s nothing,” Zoisite said weakly as she slowly crawled toward the Sailor Scouts. All of the Scouts turned toward her, watching her approach them. Knight put himself between Zoisite and the others and watched her warily, even though she looked like she was in no state to do anything.
Zoisite struggled to get to her feet. She was trembling as she weakly took her first step. Kunzite appeared as she took her second step and stumbled into him.
“Zoisite!” Kunzite exclaimed worriedly.
“Kunzite-sama, Sailor Moon is the Moon Princess,” she told him. She then slumped listlessly against his side. He had to hold her up to keep her from falling to the floor.
“I see. So, the Moon Princess has awakened and the Rainbow Crystals were drawn to her.” He turned to the Sailor Scouts with a dark expression on his face. “We’ll get that crystal, but there’s something we have to collect first.”
“You’ll have to get through us first!” Venus declared as four of the Sailor Scouts stood ready.
“Be careful, everyone,” Mercury warned as she watched over Sailor Moon.
“Whatever it is you want, you aren’t getting it,” Knight told him as he held his swords at the ready.
Kunzite raised an arm forward. Instantly, Tuxedo Kamen was surrounded and suspended in midair by a dark energy field.
“What?” Knight exclaimed in surprise.
“What’s he trying to do?” Venus exclaimed. The Scouts watched as a lavender glow enveloped him and vanished, taking him with it.
“Mamoru-san!” Mars shouted vainly as she stared at the space that was previously occupied by Tuxedo Kamen.
“I will let you live… for a while,” Kunzite told them as he vanished, taking Zoisite with him.
“Mamoru-san…. He’s gone…,” Mars said quietly, taking a few steps toward the empty space as if, on closer inspection, she would find that it was just her eyes playing tricks. But, it was no trick; he was gone. “What are they going to do with him?”
“I wish I had a clue,” Knight said consolingly as he walked over to Sailor Moon and picked her up in his arms, “but we won’t find the answer here. I don’t wish to stay here any longer than necessary. Let’s go. We’ll figure something out later.”
Comforted slightly by his calm, imperturbable tone of voice, the others followed him out.
Beryl regarded her two subordinates for a long period of time. Zoisite had regained enough strength to be able to stand on her own and now she and Kunzite were waiting apprehensively to hear what condemnation she was going to mete out to them. Kunzite’s demeanor was as coldly calm as ever, while Zoisite still looked weak from the last blow given to her by Princess Serenity.
“You have performed very disgracefully,” Beryl told them with considerable displeasure. “Not only did you allow the Moon Princess to awaken, but she now holds the Silver Crystal!”
“Forgive me,” Kunzite said with a subservient bow. “However, the Princess has just awakened and cannot utilize the full power of the Silver Crystal yet. I beg you for your patience.”
“Very well,” Beryl said with less anger than before. “Do whatever it takes.
“Meanwhile…. Zoisite, are you prepared?”
“Please, Queen Beryl, give me another chance,” she pleaded faintly.
“You have attempted to kill Tuxedo Kamen against my orders.”
“But….”
“Did you think that I wouldn’t notice?”
Kunzite stepped forward. “Wait, Queen Beryl! I am responsible for…. Wait!”
Beryl was not listening. The crystal ball in front of her started to glow with a dark lavender light, which struck Zoisite to the floor. Kunzite watched, helplessly, as she crumpled lifelessly in front of his eyes.
“Dispose of the body,” Beryl said in a low, threatening tone.
Kunzite turned back to Beryl and stared at her, cold anger showing in his eyes mixed with even colder fear and wariness. He bowed his head in assent, picked up Zoisite’s still form and walked out of the throne room, rather than teleporting as usual.
Beryl watched as Kunzite left. She knew he would obey; she could kill him just as she did Zoisite if she so wished. She knew that he knew that, too. He would obey simply because he had no choice.
She moved her crystal away and rose from her throne. She strode over to the door to the chamber where her master, Queen Metallia, was confined, and entered. Tuxedo Kamen was taken here as soon as he was brought. She regarded the unconscious figure lying on the ground for a short while. He was placed directly in front of the dark structure that served as the resting place for Metallia.
“Well, Prince Endymion, it certainly is nice to see you again,” she said in a thoughtful, yet smug tone. “I haven’t realized it until now, but you do look like your father, King Endymion.
“I should be angry with him, not only for taking the throne of the Earth, which should have been mine in the first place, but for sending me to that desolate frozen wasteland up in the Arctic Circle. Little did he know that that was the most fortunate thing to happen to me, since that is where I found my Great Master. I could almost thank him for that.” She smiled at the memory. After swearing allegiance to Metallia, she then returned to coerce four of Endymion’s best generals to join her. A final insult to the one who took what was rightfully hers. Afterwards, she and her four Generals prepared take not only the Earth, but the entire Universe.
Or, so she had thought until Queen Serenity had stopped them at the brink of her victory…. Well, that was in the past. She had another chance, and not just with establishing her supreme rule over everything and everyone.
“You certainly haven’t changed from the last time I saw you,” Beryl continued, this time a little heatedly, “protecting your little princess. All that’s going to change now. This time, you will be mine!” She knelt down before the dark structure and bowed. “Our Great Master, Queen Metallia. It is time for you to arise.”
The wraith-like darkness bubbled to life, pulsing and writhing inside its resting place. “HOW COULD A MAN WHO WAS ONCE A PRINCE OF THE EARTH REINCARNATE TO THIS ERA?” the darkness mused as it observed Tuxedo Kamen.
“Please resurrect Endymion immediately using your dark energy.”
“VERY WELL.”
Kunzite gently laid Zoisite down in their chambers. He then knelt down beside her and took her hand. “I’m sorry, Zoisite. I tried to persuade Queen Beryl for another chance, but….”
He cut off when he saw her eyes opening and gathered her in his arms. “I’m just happy that I could die with you by my side.” She looked up at Kunzite. “I want you to promise me something.”
“What is it?”
“Don’t forget me,” she said as she took her last breath.
Kunzite embraced her tightly one last time. “Never…,” he promised, as she faded away into a small shower of cherry blossom petals. He stood up and turned to leave, ready to take care of unfinished business. He stopped just before he left the room and bowed his head sadly.
“Forgive me, Zoisite….”
“Which way, Mercury?” Venus asked. The Scouts had wandered through the endless twists and turns of the former Star Light Tower.
“It might be this way,” Mercury stated as she activated her visor and rapidly typed out some equations on her minicomputer.
“Are you sure that’s the way out?” Venus asked again.
“It could be,” she told them, “but it’s hard to tell.”
“What do you mean?” Luna asked curiously.
“This space is a non-continual imaginary world,” Mercury explained. “In other words, this dimension is not connected to our world by a three-dimensional axis, but on a two-dimensional, x-y, axis. That means that the connection is made through the opposite coordinate on two sides through the z-axis.”
All of the female Scouts and the two cats gave Mercury a blank look of confusion. “Whatever you say,” Jupiter said, shrugging.
“What she means is that our way out is cut off from us, like a giant impenetrable wall that extends forever to the left and right, so we can’t go forward,” Knight added. “The way to get across the wall is to try and find a way over it, instead of around it.”
“Oh,” was the chorus of understanding that issued forth from everyone.
“You actually understood all that?” Jupiter asked in surprise.
Knight merely shrugged, careful not to move Sailor Moon too much, since he was still carrying her in his arms. “Why not? I often study with her, so occasionally I look over some of the subjects that she studies. Sometimes I understand, sometimes I don’t. No big deal.”
“Do you think you understand enough to give me a hand?” Mercury asked. “The readings I’m getting change rapidly, so it would be much faster if you could help me.”
“I’ll try, but it’ll be hard for me to help while I’m carrying her around,” he told her, indicating the immobile Sailor Scout leader he was carrying in his arms.
“Then, you can set me down, so you can help Mercury,” Sailor Moon murmured tiredly, as she stirred slightly. “I’m counting on you two. We have no time to be stuck here.
“She’s back,” Venus said, as Knight set her on her feet.
“She’s going to be okay,” Mercury said, relieved.
“Here, I’ll take care of her,” Jupiter said, taking Sailor Moon’s left arm and putting it around her shoulders. “You go help Mercury find us a way outta here.” He nodded and stood beside Mercury as she continued working on finding a way of escape.
“You’ve been out of it for a while,” Mars told Sailor Moon as she wearily took in her surroundings. She looked as though she would fall asleep again at any time. “Remember where you are?” Mars asked. “Remember what happened?”
Sailor Moon’s eyes widened with worry as she couldn’t find the one person who she had been scanning the room for. “Tuxedo Kamen-sama!” She straightened up from her position leaning on Jupiter and turned to her. “Where is he? Please, tell me! He’s not… dead, is he?”
Jupiter closed her eyes and bowed her head to one side.
“He’s alive,” Mars told her.
“Really?” Sailor Moon asked with renewed hope.
“But, the enemy took him.”
“They did?” she replied, her previous hope deflating. “I see,” she said, as she stared at the ground, her right hand balled into a loose fist and held in front of her mouth.
“Listen, everybody,” Artemis interrupted, “Now that the Princess has awakened, I think it’s time that we told you everything. Luna, your memory must’ve returned when the Princess awakened, right?”
“Yes, I can recall it clearly now,” Luna agreed.
“Hold on,” Jupiter cut in. “What are you talking about?”
“Your past lives,” Luna told her. “About the Moon Kingdom and the Silver Millennium.”
“So, we were part of the Moon Kingdom, too?” Jupiter asked.
“If Sailor Moon was the Moon Princess, then we must’ve been part of the Moon Kingdom as well,” Venus replied. “Right, Artemis?”
“That’s right,” Artemis told her. “A long time ago, there was a kingdom on the Moon.”
“It was a peaceful paradise,” Luna added. “From there, all the planets were ruled. It was a time of great prosperity, known as the Silver Millennium.
“The Moon Kingdom was home to Princess Serenity and her mother, Queen Serenity. The Queen was a fair and gentle ruler, who was raising her daughter to follow in her footsteps.”
“The peace was soon shattered,” Artemis continued, “as Queen Beryl quickly took over the Earth and staged a tremendous attack against the Moon. The Moon Kingdom was completely destroyed in a fierce battle, but with the power of the Silver Crystal, the enemy was sealed away.”
“After Queen Beryl was defeated, Queen Serenity used the last of her power to send Princess Serenity, her court, and the rest of the inhabitants of the Moon Kingdom to a new future on Earth,” Luna added, continuing the narrative. “You four girls were the princesses of your own respective planets as well as part of Princess Serenity’s court.”
“You four are also the reincarnations of the Sailor Scouts of the past,” Artemis finished.
“And me?” Knight asked.
“You are the reincarnation of the prince of Jupiter,” Artemis told him. “Originally, you were only a member Princess Serenity’s court, just like your sister. You were never meant to become a Sailor Scout, as those powers were reserved only for the female members of the royal families.”
“Then, how can I be a Sailor Scout, if I wasn’t one in my past life?” he asked, confused.
“I never said you weren’t,” Artemis corrected. “You see, before the final battle with Queen Beryl, we only had four Sailor Scouts. The legends of the Sailor Scouts back then told of five Scouts: Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Venus, and Earth. Sailor Earth was the only Scout we couldn’t revive.
“You volunteered to take on the position of the Sailor Scout of Earth. The process wasn’t a very pleasant one, from what I recall, but you survived and Sailor Knight was born.”
“I see,” Knight said thoughtfully and returned to assisting Mercury.
“Then, are we Moon people?” Jupiter asked.
“No, we’re humans by birth,” Venus replied.
“Does this mean our parents aren’t our real parents?” Jupiter asked.
“Does it matter?” Knight responded without turning from Mercury’s minicomputer.
Jupiter thought about it for a moment. “I suppose it doesn’t. After all, even if they aren’t our real parents, we’ll still think of them as our parents, right?” Knight silently nodded his agreement.
“Queen Serenity wanted all of you to live peacefully as ordinary humans, so she sent us to this more peaceful era,” Luna told them.
“But, some evil entity removed the seal on the enemy,” Artemis added.
“And that evil entity is the big boss of the Dark Kingdom,” Mercury stated flatly.
“That’s right,” Artemis said. “If it weren’t for them, you all could’ve lived as ordinary humans.”
“What has happened, has happened,” Knight said fatalistically. “They’re here now, so there’s no use wishing for things to be different. We have a job to do: protect the Moon Princess and the Silver Crystal, and rescue Tuxedo Kamen.”
“Right,” Luna agreed. “It’s our duty to fight for peace.”
“We have to join forces so that the tragedy of the past doesn’t happen again,” Venus added soberly.
Mars nodded. “Got it!”
“Let’s fight on!” Jupiter declared.
“Count me out,” Sailor Moon mumbled despondently. The whole time she had been sitting on a small boulder, with her elbows on her knees and her head bowed in a defeated posture. “I don’t wanna fight anymore.”
Everyone turned to regard Sailor Moon with great surprise. “Are you serious?” Jupiter asked incredulously. “You can’t do that!”
“You’re the Princess,” Luna added.
“I don’t care,” Sailor Moon replied tiredly. “That’s none of my business. I’m Tsukino Usagi.”
“Sailor Moon, this is your destiny!” Venus insisted. “Don’t you understand?”
“What destiny?” Sailor Moon retorted, jumping to her feet. “I don’t care about destiny! I just can’t stand fighting anymore!”
“Usagi-chan…,” Luna said concernedly.
Her fervor suddenly died down as if that outburst took all her strength. Her arms fell limply to her sides as she stared at the floor, tears forming in her eyes. “Tuxedo Kamen-sama…. Mamoru-san…. He almost died protecting me. What if he did? What if any of you die? I can’t…. I just can’t….”
Mars strode firmly toward Sailor Moon and slapped her hard across her face. “I can’t stand this! I can’t take it anymore!” she shouted at her. “How can you give up and surrender, just like that? You wimp!”
“So what if I’m a wimp!” Sailor Moon retorted, crying even harder. “I’m not strong like mighty Rei-chan!”
Mars continued to stare at Sailor Moon, tears streaming down her cheeks as well. “And you think you’re not strong? You have the power, you just don’t believe. That is why you’re a wimp. Mamoru-san risked his life to save a wimp.”
“But…,”
“Sailor Moon still needs time,” Artemis told her.
“Sooner or later, she’ll go back to being her normal self,” Luna said.
“Until that happens, we’ll have to defend her,” Knight replied, as he and Mercury turned toward the others.
“Yes, especially after the ordeal she’s been through,” Mercury commented as she deactivated her visor. “I have some good news. We’ve found the exit!”
“That’s great!” Luna commended. “Let’s talk about this later. First, let’s get out of here.”
“Let’s go,” Venus agreed.
“So, you managed to find the way out of here,” Kunzite said as he appeared, hovering above the Sailor Scouts. “I’m impressed.”
Sailor Moon took an apprehensive step back, away from Kunzite. Mercury and Mars both stepped protectively in front of her.
“Luna, Artemis, take Sailor Moon to safety,” Venus ordered.
“All right,” Luna complied.
“Be careful, Venus,” Artemis added.
“Everyone, protect the Princess,” Venus shouted.
“I’ll fight with you,” Jupiter said, standing beside Venus.
“And so will I,” Knight added, standing at her other side.
“Thanks,” Venus told them both.
“You are wasting your time,” Kunzite taunted, his arms folded nonchalantly across his chest.
“Oh yeah?” Jupiter challenged. “Supreme thunder!” Her lightning attack surged forth, heading directly for the silver-haired General. Moments before her attack struck, he erected a shield of dark energy around himself. The lightning struck the shield and was absorbed into it.
“What?!? He’s absorbing the energy from my attack!” she exclaimed in disbelief.
“I’ll take care of him,” Venus said. “Crescent beam!” Just as before, the dark shield appeared and absorbed the light energy from her attack.
“It’s no use,” Mercury shouted. “He’ll absorb any energy we throw at him here.”
“Then, what can we do?” Mars asked.
“How about we try an attack that isn’t made of energy?” Knight suggested. “Earth thrust!” His large stone spike hurtled toward Kunzite, but this time the attack wasn’t absorbed by the dark shield.
It was destroyed by a huge glowing sphere consisting of the absorbed powers of both Venus and Jupiter. “What?!?” he exclaimed in surprise.
“Was that it?” Kunzite mocked as he blasted the three Scouts with their own powers, bringing them to their knees.
“That was nothing,” Jupiter retorted fiercely.
“You can’t beat us,” Venus stated just as fiercely.
“Are you so weak that you have to resort to using our powers just to beat us?” Knight remarked derisively.
“Die,” Kunzite sneered as he blasted them again with their powers.
“Look out!” Mars and Mercury shouted warningly. Knight managed to bring out both his swords and block some of the attack, but not all of it. The three Sailor Scouts screamed in pain for a few moments. Knight merely sank to his knees, breathing heavily as Venus and Jupiter collapsed to the floor.
“Now, hand over the crystal, or else you’ll be next!” Kunzite threatened.
“Look after her, Mercury,” Mars told her. She then turned to Sailor Moon. “Usagi-chan, have faith in yourself. You can do it.”
“Are you prepared to die?” Kunzite said viciously.
Mars whirled around to face him. “Are you? Fire soul!” Just as with the others’ attacks, her fireball was absorbed by his dark shield.
“Fool!” he shouted tauntingly as he prepared to use her powers against her. Before he could do so, Knight had leaped at him with both swords out. “So, you haven’t had enough?” he remarked derisively as he blasted him with the power he had absorbed from Mars. Knight hit the floor in front of her with a loud thud, causing him to bounce a little.
She glanced over at him, watching him try to stand again, even after all those blows that he took. “I won’t… let you… harm… the Princess,” he stated weakly, breathing heavily as he finally got to his feet.
Mars stood beside him. “And neither will I!” she declared vehemently.
“Then, die!” Kunzite shouted as he fired the power he had absorbed from Mars back at them. Both Scouts tried vainly to block the attack, but in the end, they were overwhelmed. They were both flung backwards, landing next to the other two unconscious Scouts, Knight’s swords clattering to the floor beside him. He once again tried to get up, but this time he fell back onto to the floor and blacked out.
“Are you prepared to die, Princess?” Kunzite remarked contemptuously.
“You’ll have to beat me first!” Mercury challenged.
“Stay out of my way,” he retorted, blasting her with a gust of dark energy. Mercury managed to remain standing after the assault. “You pest,” he growled, blasting her again. This time, she was flung back into Sailor Moon, and they both fell to the floor.
“Sailor Mercury, are you all right?” Sailor Moon asked, concerned.
“Usagi-chan,” she replied weakly, “be brave.”
“How can I beat him?” she murmured worriedly. She looked from Mercury to Venus, then to Jupiter, Mars and finally, to Knight. “Everyone…,” she whispered quietly. “Tuxedo Kamen-sama….” She stood up, staring defiantly at Kunzite. Everyone, please lend me your strength.… She took up the Crescent Moon Wand and raised it in front of her. “I won’t run. You protected me, and now I’ll save you… my friends.”
“So, you choose to die, Princess?” Kunzite said derisively. “That would suit me fine. This’s for Zoisite!” he yelled as he flung a large sphere of dark energy at her.
Sailor Moon raised the Crescent Moon Wand up to deflect the attack. “Please, Silver Crystal,” she whispered as the sphere collided into the wand and crystal. The crystal suddenly emitted a brilliant flash of light, causing the dark energy to dissipate in its radiance. The glowing coruscation grew steadily, in sync with Sailor Moon’s desire to save her friends.
“What?!?” he exclaimed as his attack was becoming overpowered by Sailor Moon’s power, or rather the power of the Silver Crystal. So, she has learned to use the power of the Silver Crystal, he thought to himself. Seeing that he was now at a disadvantage, he quickly teleported away.
The power of the Silver Crystal began to flow through the entire place, seeping through the walls, ceiling, and floor. The entire warped structure, which was formerly the Star Light Tower, was destroyed, freeing Sailor Moon and the others from the dimension they were previously trapped in. She stood with the wand still in front of her, staring in astonishment at what she had just done.
I… I did it.…
Beryl stood staring at the long, altar-like platform she had Mamoru placed on. This platform would erase all of his old memories and condition him into absolute obedience and loyalty to her.
Mamoru’s tuxedo jacket was removed leaving his white shirt and black trousers. He was lying prone on the platform as arcs of dark energy passed over him. The process of turning him was slow, but the results would be well worth it.
“Serenity…,” he moaned as he tossed restlessly.
“So, Endymion, you haven’t forgotten her yet,” Beryl said with a smug grin. “Well, no matter how much you love her, you will never have her.”
Sailor Moon stood amidst the wreckage of what was once the Star Light Tower, looking out over the waters of the bay. The sun was beginning to rise in the east, its first rays of light shining on her face. The warmth of the sun seemed to lift her spirits slightly, giving her new hope along with the start of a new day.
Thank you, Tuxedo Kamen-sama, she thought, her head bowed as if in prayer.
“You saved us all,” Venus said. Sailor Moon turned around to see the other Sailor Scouts and the two cats behind her. Each of them were smiling proudly at her; Knight half-smiling, as usual. “Thank you, Sailor Moon.”
“You’ll fight with us, won’t you?” Mars asked.
“Sure,” Sailor Moon answered.
“You feeling all right?” Jupiter asked.
“I’m fine,” she replied a little uncertainly.
“You know that we’ll be behind you all the way,” Knight told her.
“Yes, no matter what,” Mercury added.
“Thanks you, everyone,” Sailor Moon said, grinning.
“That’s the end of the first step, I guess,” Luna stated.
“Good work, Usagi-chan,” Artemis added.
“You all have a long, hard battle ahead of you,” Luna continued, “but as long as the six of you work together, you can overcome any hardships.”
All of the Scouts nodded their agreement. Sailor Moon then turned to watch the sun rise over the horizon.
Yes. He should be… he’s still alive. Tuxedo Kamen-sama, wherever you are, we’ll find you. I promise.…
