   Usagi really needs to get a leash for Chibi-Usa.  She scampers away   
   almost immediately.   
      
   The Senshi meet King Endymion, at least in holographic form, and he   
   gives some answers as to how the future has come to this state.   
      
   According to him, they are in the thirtieth century.  The world of the   
   Senshi’s time suffered some great calamity and was frozen for a long   
   time, until Serenity and the Crystal restored it.  Since then, the world   
   was unified under Serenity’s rule and Crystal Tokyo was its prosperous   
   center.   
      
   A war broke out between the Senshi and evil forces.  It’s not really   
   clear, but I got the feeling that they were humans, though possibly   
   consorting with ye powers of darknesse.  Most were defeated and   
   cleansed, but a few who refused were exiled into space.  They happen to   
   find Nemesis, the ‘tenth planet’, and there are transformed, gaining   
   supernatural powers to become the Black Moon.   
      
   Some time later, Nemesis launched an attack, devastating Crystal Tokyo.   
     Endymion was badly injured.  The reaction of the Inner Senshi was all   
   that prevented total disaster.  Together, they sealed the Queen in   
   crystal before she could be killed, and created a barrier around the   
   palace.  After this, Chibi-Usa decided to go to the past and find the   
   Senshi of legend, Sailor Moon, to help her mother.   
      
   We also find out that King Endymion is responsible for the evil visions   
   haunting Mamoru and Usagi.   
      
   *gasp*  So that’s the story…   
      
   We don’t find out much about the disaster that causes the world to freeze.   
      
   I still don’t see how Chibi-Usa doesn’t recognize the Senshi on first   
   sight as the four watching over the Palace.  These are her mother’s   
   closest friends, the ones who are right there when all the trouble   
   starts, how does she not recognize them?  Even if there is some   
   difference due to aging, it wouldn’t be *that* substantial.  A blonde   
   with light blue eyes, a bad tempered dark haired one, and a brunette and   
   blue haired one seemingly joined at the hip, how do you miss that?   
      
   Mamoru just doesn’t strike me as that bright.  His future self’s great   
   plan to bring them closer together is really, really dumb.  And him   
   promising to protect Chibi-Usa with his life was almost laughable.  If   
   he dies, how’s she going to be born at all?   
      
   Dimande isn’t too sharp either, leaving the Crystal there.  Even if it’s   
   theoretically no threat to him, you’d think he’d at least get rid of it,   
   to be sure.   
      
   A hang glider?  What the…  Never mind.  All things considered, it wasn’t   
   too bad a choice for quiet aerial infiltration.  But it looked so silly…   
   maybe I’m still having flashbacks to Tuxedo Kamen on a sailboard.   
      
   As badly as Ando mistreats poor Ami-chan, I think I like the way Dimande   
   was drawn even less.  He really did look wierd.   
      
   All this and we haven’t even started getting into the fun mindbenders   
   associated with time travel.  ^_^
