Sailor Moon Crystal high session 4

ACT 8 - Minako -Sailor V-

Beryl: "A fifth Sailor Senshi... it can't be..."
before there were only 4.
Sailor V wears a fake Princess Sirenity mark... when Sailor Moon sees it, her memories start to awaken, just like the other 4 senshis have last time... her tiara changes shape...

wow, I never thought of it that way before... the marks on the Sailor Senshis forheads showing up, is the exact moment the senshi remember their past lives for the first time...

Usagi: "I feel like I almost remembered something very important."

V and Artemis explain that they've been communicating with the 4 of them this whole time through the arcade machine...
Sailor V decides to continue working alone... she has to keep up her fake princess disguise for a little while longer, until the other 4 fully reawaken. I wonder why? if the princess does know where the silver crystal is, why isn't she helping the other 4 find it? maybe she is secretly helping them find it from the shadows somehow?

Usagi has another one of those dreams... Prince Endymion is rescuing her from the moon kingdom's invaders... he calls her "Princess Serenity"... she meets Mamoru later, tries to give him back the broken locket... he says to keep it, because he has something of hers too, so they'll trade later.

Artemis' voice wtf... he sounds just like Mamoru I think? or definitely like another anime character or 2... wait a sec... Kyon-kun?

The city blacks out.. all the humans that have been searching for the Silver Crystal had their energy drained... Sailor V goes and attacks Kunzite... her Crescent Boomerang is easily reflected. The other 4 guardians all came to help her, saying that friends help each other. Tuxedo Mask also comes in and rescues Sailor Moon... she then tells him to run to safety and kisses him. She goes to try and block Nephrite's attack, but Texudo mask jumps in front of her.

by now it's so obvious... the preview for Act 9 just flat out states it: Sailor Moon is the real Serenity.
