   Act 18 - At Last, All Five Sailor Senshi are Together   
      
   Minako and Rei develop a sort of love/hate confrontational   
   relationship during this episode in both their fighting and as they   
   both care for the injured dog.   
      
   Jadeite and Nephrite pair up against Kunzite in their efforts to   
   gather energy to revive Metalia.   
      
   Makoto bribes Motoki for information on the mystery girl with food for   
   him and his turtle. We find out that her name is Hina and she and   
   Mamoru are engaged. We also find out that they are actually childhood   
   friends and had been planning to get married since they were young.   
   Mamoru now appears doubtful about the relationship, but says to   
   himself that he could never betray Hina.   
      
   Back at the church, the priest is possessed by the youma from the last   
   episode and it steals the energy from the people attending Mass. As it   
   happens in these sort of situations, Mamoru and Hina are at the church   
   as well and barely escape as the youma leaves the priest's body and   
   pursues them. They end up back in the gymnasium before their energy is   
   also depleted by the youma.   
      
   The four senshi show up to take up the battle when they are confronted   
   by Jadeite and Nephrite. All four are knocked down from the combined   
   power of the two generals and the youma. Just in time, Venus shows up   
   and for the first time ever, all five senshi are together in battle   
   formation. Venus does make for a regal princess. At this point, you   
   could almost believe that she is the real deal and this version of the   
   story is taking a different tack. She is a completely different   
   character from her ditzy anime counterpart.   
      
   Somehow, Venus and Mars end up fighting the youma in the church while   
   the other three senshi take on the generals still in the gymnasium.   
   With a combined Youma Taisan and Venus Love-Me Chain, the youma is   
   destroyed. (The Love-Me Chain effect was pretty cool)   
      
   Working together, the three senshi are barely able to injury Nephrite.   
   With a curse, Nephrite and Jadeite disappear.   
      
   The battle over, Sailor Moon looks down tenderly at the unconscious   
   Mamoru and Hina before reviving them with a healing ray from her   
   hands.   
      
   Rei starts to wonder about Minako's actions, speculating that it seems   
   like Minako _wants_ to be chased. It looked to me like Rei might be   
   catching on to Minako's plan, especially since Minako had commanded   
   her to never leave Sailor Moon's side.   
      
   Minako packs her bags to move again. Artemis points out that Minako   
   must be avoiding making friends with the girls so that they won't end   
   up sad. Minako says that there is only about half a year left. (So she   
   has some sort of fatal disease of the brain?)   
      
   Usagi appears to have made peace with Mamoru's relationship and   
   continues work on her muffler.   
      
   In the Dark Kingdom, with the additional energy from the church   
   people, the door to Metalia opens.
