Coming soon.Luna and Artemis, still in bandages from Malachite's attack on them in the previous episode see a news report on strange heat-spot activity and gather the girls at the Cherry Blossom Temple. The girls ready themselves for their final fight against Queen Beryl who they are well aware will be their hardest opponent. They transform together, and as they do, Artemis and Luna discuss if the Sailor Scouts are really ready to fight Beryl. Artemis is confident in most of the girls, however he does voice concern over Serena. The girls then teleport to as near the entrance to the Negaverse entrance as they can get.

Queen Beryl's crystal ball tells her the Sailor Scouts have arrived and she calls upon her minions, asking who amoung them is willing to fight the Sailors. The Doom 'n Gloom Girls offer to do so and go to attack the Scouts. The Scouts meanwhile are making their way toward the Negaverse when Sailor Mercury notices their is a lifeform up ahead, this lifeform comes into view and appears to be a bound and beaten Tuxedo Mask who Sailor Moon desparately tries to get to but the other Scouts relise is probably a trap. The Tuxedo Mask begs for her help, and Sailor Moon can't stand seeing the man she loves in that state so she runs toward him ignoring the others' reasoning. Sailor Mars, Sailor Venus, and Sailor Jupiter pin her to the ground dispite her complaints, and Tuxedo Mask is indeed revealed to be an illusion designed to lure Sailor Moon into a trap, she is only saved when the other pull her away.

The Tuxedo Mask illusion turns back into a Doom 'n Gloom Girl, who Sailor Moon admonishes. Then all of the Doom 'n Gloom Girls gather and create an illusion of Andrew to lure Sailor Jupiter, who falls for the trap and is caught up in their vines. Sailor Moon and Sailor Mars begin to perform Moon Tiara Magic, and Mars Fire Ignite but do not manage to finish these attacks as the Doom 'n Gloom Girls get too close to Jupiter. Sailor Jupiter launches her Jupiter Thunder Crash attack against the Girls, who trap her in the Negaverse.

Sailor Moon is distraught and suggests they hand over the Silver Crystal, as losing her friends doesn't seem to be worth the fight but the others say Sailor Jupiter wouldn't want that. Sailor Mercury notices a noise and tells Sailor Moon, Mars, and Venus to keep on toward the Negaverse while she takes care of whatever the Doom 'n Gloom Girls have planned next. While the other Scouts go on ahead, Mercury is shown an illusion of Greg however she doesn't fall for the trap and scans it with her VR Visor which reveals it to be a Doom 'n Gloom Girl. They send a large lava flow towards Mercury which she manages to stop with Mercury Bubbles Blast however the Doom 'n Gloom girls trap her inside a red orb of energy and bind her. They question her as to the other Scouts location and she says they were scared away however the Doom 'n Gloom Girls call her bluff and plan to use her Super Mini Computer to find the others. They then trap her in the Negaverse.

Sailor Moon senses this and is horrified, she collapses to the ground and Sailor Venus notices that the ground below Moon is glowing. She pushes her away just in time to be grabbed by a Doom 'n Gloom girl herself, Sailor Moon says she'll use her tiara to get Venus free but Sailor Venus tells Moon to save her energy before being pulled into the Negaverse. When there she manages to dispense with one of the Doom 'n Gloom Girls by using her Venus Crescent Beam Smash. Sailor Mars tells Sailor Moon she thinks Moon is meant to face Beryl on her own and goes to face the last of the Doom 'n Gloom Girls who trap her in an ice structure but she manages to defeat with her Mars Fire Ignite, however they still manage to trap her in the Negaverse.

Seeing that Sailor Moon is alone, Queen Beryl uses her magic to bring Moon to the centre of the Negaverse. When there Sailor Moon meets Beryl and sees Prince Darien kissing Beryl's hand, Beryl instructs the Prince to fight Sailor Moon, who attempts to use Moon Healing Activation on him. This does not work and Beryl says even Sailor Moon's crystal cannot break her spell on the Prince. The Prince fights Sailor Moon and manages to knock Sailor Moon to the ground and the Crescent Moon Wand out of her hand. Queen Beryl tells him to retrive it and to do away with Sailor Moon, but Sailor Moon winds him with a Moon Tiara Magic attack to the stomach.

Queen Beryl tells Sailor Moon that it's useless to try and turn the Prince against her as his mind belongs to her now, however Sailor Moon tells the Prince that Beryl may have his mind but she has his heart. She reasons with the Prince, begging him to remember her and shows him their locket, he begins to remember and when instructed by Sailor Moon touches the locket and is purified. Beryl is horrified and throws a rock-shard towards the lovers which Prince Darien shatters with a Rose, which pierces Beryl's chest however he is harmed in the process. Beryl retreats through the floor and Prince Darien promises to find his way back to Serena one day.

Queen Beryl asks the Negaforce how she can defeat Sailor Moon, it reprimands her but gives her one last chance, merging it's energy with Beryl. Queen Beryl reappears outside as a huge green monsterous woman, she is soon approached by Sailor Moon who is ready to fight her. She attacks Sailor Moon who is encased in a huge ice structure, however she breaks out of it transforming it into a platform as she turns into Princess Serena. Princess Serena readies her crystal, and meanwhile back in Crossroads there is a black out, Serena's family worry over her and Luna and Artemis notice the drop in temperature and conclude that Beryl must be defeating the Sailor Scouts. Luna calls out to Sailor Moon, begging her not to let the Negaverse win.

Back at the Negaverse, Princess Serena picks up Luna's thoughts and directs her attack at Beryl, who also directs an Cosmic Moon Power attack toward the Princess. The two attacks meet and struggle against each other, when the other Scouts manage to contact Princess Serena and ask to help. All the Scouts appear around the Princess and add their powers to hers. The Princess then uses Cosmic Moon Power, Unite! against Queen Beryl who is obliterated by the energy beam.

Sometime later, everything has returned to normal and Serena awakens once again late for school. As she rushes out the door Luna and Artemis discuss the events of the battle, and it is revealed that in the battle the girls all lost their memories of being Scouts and friends. Artemis says that all they have to do is meet up and become friends again for the memories to return, and Luna asks what has become of Serena and Darien. Darien is seen in a hospital where Serena is volunteering, helping to cheer up patients, Serwna tells him he was in an accident and she has come to cheer him up. He tells her he thinks her hair is werid and looks like meatballs, she takes great offense at this an the episode ends.
