Meanwhile, Queen Beryl is furious with her henchmen for their repeated failures to obtain the Silver Crystal, a powerful artifact that Tuxedo Mask is also after. She demands that they capture him or face her wrath.

As the scouts continue to search for Tuxedo Mask, Serena starts to feel a strange attraction towards him.

However, their moment of connection is interrupted by the arrival of Queen Beryl herself. She kidnaps Tuxedo Mask and demands that he lead her to the Silver Crystal. Sailor Moon and the Scouts race to his rescue, fighting off the Queen's minions along the way.

In the climactic battle, Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask team up to take down Queen Beryl. However, their victory also comes at a cost, as Tuxedo Mask is seriously injured in the fight.
