![]()
Queen Beryl's youma quintet, The DD Girls, proved to be the most powerful minions of the Dark Kingdom as they accomplished something her other servants didn't: they killed the Sailor Soldiers. Sailor Moon and her four guardians arrived at D-Point in the North Pole to confront Queen Beryl. However, they were greeted by the DD Girls, a five-member team of youma that could glamour itself thanks to one member's ability. They immediatelly took our Sailor Jupiter, the team's powerhouse. Jupiter electrocuted the enemies, but only two of them died along with her. Mercury, realizing she didn't have the protective powers of Mars and Venus, went off on her own. She didn't kill any of the remaining three DD Girls, but she did smash the leader's crown, which was the source of her glamouring power. Eventually, it was just Venus and Mars who were left to protect Sailor Moon. When Venus was captured, she point-blank killed one DD Girl. This also cost her her own life. Last but not least, Mars left Moon to take out the last two youma. They tried to bury her alive under the ice, but Mars was not going down without a fight. She incinerated one of them while saving her energy for the remaining leader. With her last ounce of strength, Mars set the final youma on fire. |

Metalia's personal youma was able to win as long as it did because the Sailor Team was so divided both spiritually and physically. Once Sailor Venus' true power awakened, she was able to separate Metalia's force from the youma. All five Sailor Soldiers then united to destroy the Metalia Youma. Unlike in the manga or anime adaptations, it was rare to see all of the Sailor Soldiers fight together in the TV drama. |

| To save her abducted friends, Sailor Moon entered Rubeus' spaceship. Chibi-Usa tagged along, much to Moon's dismay. Sailor Moon fought Rubeus as Chibi-Usa tried to free the other Sailor Soldiers. Rubeus thought he would win because he could manipulate the gravity inside of the spaceship, but Moon was stronger than he ever imagined. Chibi-Usa finally broke the device powering Rubeus' gravity control, and the captured Sailor Soldiers were freed as well. The spaceship had left Earth so the Sailor Team and Chibi-Usa had to teleport home. Meanwhile, the ship was ready to explode and Rubeus was too weak to escape on his own.

![]( "The powered-up Sailor Soldiers destroy the enemy's barrier") |
| A Pegasus impostor lured Sailor Moon and Sailor Chibi Moon into a trap set by Fisheye. The fake Pegasus was actually a lemures monster called Mawashitarou. Using magical carousel horses, Mawashitarou formed an impregnable dome-like barrier around him, Fisheye, and Double Moon. If Pegasus couldn't physically reach them, Sailor Moon was unable to use her finishing attack on the lemures. The other Sailor Soldiers were unable to break through, and they also refused to accept Pegasus' help because they still weren't sure if they could trust him. Once the others believed that Pegasus' intentions were pure and true, the four guardian Sailor Soldiers were given power-ups. They broke the dome and Sailor Moon handled the rest. |
