   Ok, does this make sense to anyone? Are they saying that Metalia and the   
   Princess are drawing energy from the same source, or that Metallia is   
   actually the Princess's power in that they are one and the same.   
      
   Does that mean if Beryl hadn't been feeding Metallia all that power, the   
   Princess wouldn't be as powerful either?

   Is she talking from experience or is she just guessing that this is the   
   case? As far as we know, this is the first time she's been re-born.

   Ah HA! Mamoru may not have any power as Tuxedo mask, but he CAN henshin   
   into Endymion, so he must have SOME power of some kind.

   She needed to actually decide that?

   Ok, in order to make this story work, I have to make some assumptions...   
      
    1) Princess Serenity is Uber powerful, enough to destroy planets on a   
    whim.   
      
    2) Princess Serenity cannot properly control her power and when she   
    gets upset, she loses control of it.   
      
    3) Beryl is doing her best to snag Mamoru away from Serenity which   
    will severely piss Serenity off. (See item 1 ^_-)   
      
   So, if Serenity KNOWS she can't control her power and KNOWS Beryl is   
   going to piss her off and KNOWS the planet is in danger, isn't it wiser   
   to eliminate either herself or the problem (Beryl) instead?   
      
   Seems to me Beryl is gonna get it either way, buy why should the rest of   
   us suffer, heck, I've never even been to Japan or the Moon, why should I   
   have anything to do with this. :(
