for pointing out this

language forum. It appears confirmed now that the "mysterious senshi" will be
none other than "Sailor Luna".
(Highlight to read.)Which makes complete sense.

for getting this synopsis of Act 24! Pictures courtesy of Serecindra,

Heineman.
Act 24
“You’re pathetic,” Evil mercury says to Nephrite,
lying on the ground. She turns to
walk off while Nephrite gets up and follows with a staff baring saws at each
end, spinning. He goes to jab
Mercury in the neck, but she turns and has dodged.
“You cannot touch me in your condition.”
Nephrite swings at her, but she ducks.
Mercury stands and smiles at him. Nephrite
tries to strike her again, but Kunzite stops him, grabbing the staff.
“Are you out of your mind?” Kunzite says to Nephrite.
“Stupid…” He pushes
Nephrite back, causing him to back into the wall of the cave.
Mercury smirks as Nephrite swings at Kunzite now.
He ducks, spins back, keeping away from Nephrite’s blade.
He now holds up his sword. The
two stare each other down for a moment, then Nephrite ensues his next swing.
Their objects clang as Mercury smiles.
Zoisite sits at his piano playing.
“Who are you?” Mamoru says.
“Do you know me?” Zoisite
looks over at him. “Remember the
time when you were called Endymion,” Zoisite tells Mamoru. “’Endymion’ is my old name…”
Zoisite begins to play a speedy tune and Kunzite and
Nephrites battle continues. Kunzite
swings his blade at Nephrite and slices his cape. Nephrite looks down at it and Evil Mercury turns to walk off
with her smile still on.
“The Master must awaken because the tragedy must not
happen again!” Zoisite says at his piano.
Images of a man in a tuxedo, assumed to be Endymion, flash with him
struggling in a molten blaze.
I bet Motoki is a Moonlight Real Girl!
In the Dark Kingdom, Beryl flips around with an infuriated
face. She struggles at what to say,
then comes out with, “Nephrite… You’re
a pathetic person!” “I’m
terribly sorry! Lady Beryl, I-
I…” “I don’t want to
see you in such a foolish manner. Don’t
appear before me for now. Get out!!”
“Lady Beryl!” Nephrite calls as he falls over. “I said get out!” Nephrite
looks at her in total shock. He
begins to hang his head as Jadeite says, “Nephrite, that is Lady Beryl’s
order.” Nephrite looks back up at
Beryl as if to say, “Seriously?” Beryl
looks at him with disgust and turns her back to him.
At Mamoru’s place, Hina
seems to be packing books up. Mamoru
walks by her and says, “I’m going to see Motoki.”
“Okay!” “Take it easy!
We have two more weeks.” Hina
nods. “You have to pack your own
things also, right?” Hina looks
to him, smiling, “I’m fine! See
you later!” Mamoru nods in
return. He then leaves as Hina
continues packing.
Back in the Dark Kingdom, Beryl looks to Metaria’s tower
of light. “Endymion, we will soon
meet.”
Mamoru is walking down an outside hall, and Zoisite’s
piano begins to be played again, but only for a second causing Mamoru to look
back, worried. Zoisite continues
with the playing without Mamoru hearing it.
Someone enters his room and walks up to him. It is Kunzite who slams his hand on the keys.
“What are you doing?” “Kunzite…
You’ve awaken?” “You
don’t have to awaken Master Endymion.”
“You remember the Master and you say that?
He was our master long ago…” “Is
that so? That was the past.
Now mind your own business.” The
two glare at each other.

#2:
The "Oh shit she's about to get hit by a car" song |
Mamoru walks down a street.
It’s warm outside today. Usagi
comes up to a cross walk which is at "STOP" for the moment.
She seems calm until she looks over to see Mamoru step up as well.
They catch each other’s eyes and Usagi says, “Hi…”
“Hey.” Mamoru turns his
head to the street and Usagi thinks, “Why?
I’ve been trying to forget about him.”
Usagi mindlessly walks ahead, trying to avoid Mamoru. A car comes speeding toward Usagi and Mamoru sees them and
jolts to her. The car’s tires
screech just as Mamoru pulls Usagi away and to the ground.
The car goes on. Mamoru
looks at Usagi, “Stupid!! You
can’t walk yet!!” “What are
you calling me stupid for?!” They
seem surprised at each other.
In Crown, Motoki pokes Kamekichi with a towel around his
finger. “Kamekichi, I’m
cleaning you for your date with Maririn. Do
you want to go to the barber shop?” Someone
enters, “Welcome!” Motoki’s
hair has been cut to be much shorter. Usagi
and Mamoru enter. “Wow, that’s
an unusual couple…” “I just
met up with her on the way,” Mamoru answers.
“But, that was good timing!” Motoki
continues, “I’m thinking of inviting Usagi-chan and her friends to your
farewell party.” Usagi looks
surprised, “Farewell party?” “Huh? I didn’t tell you? Mamoru
is going to a British college as an exchange student.”
Usagi is shocked, but she says, “Ahh, I see.”
“That’s amazing!” Motoki says unaware of Usagi’s feelings.
The doors open and Motoki goes over to the customer, screaming, “Ah!
Mako-chan! Welcome!
How do you like my hair?! See?!!?”
Makoto is trying not to look at him, and Usagi has become depressed and
walks off. Motoki sees her and
says, “Usagi-chan! It means
nothing!” The three look on as
she walks off to the karaoke room. “Farewell
party!” Usagi sits down with a
stiff expression. “Study
abroad…?” Usagi says sadly. “Usagi-chan,”
Luna says. The door opens and
Makoto comes down the stairs. “Usagi!”
Usagi’s mood changes and she bounces up, “Did you hear that he will
be studying abroad? That’s
amazing, isn’t it?!” “Before
when I told you that if you love someone, not to give him, well…”
Usagi looks to her all excited, “It’s okay!
I’ve decided I’ll forget him! I’m
serious! Getting Ami-chan back is
the most important thing right now! Right?”
Makoto looks at her worried. “Yeah.”
Usagi goes to turn the karaoke machine on but Makoto remembers her
incident with Tuxedo Mask. She had punched him and said, “You’re horrible!
Don’t come near Usagi again!” Makoto
now thinks, “He should quickly.” Usagi
messes with the volume and tests it on the microphone.
In the Dark Kingdom, Evil Mercury walks up to Nephrite who
is huddled in a corner. “Heh,
sight seeing?” He asks. Mercury
holds up a new cape for Nephrite. She
throws it on his shoulder and he seems surprised.
“I don’t like it when someone is alone,” Mercury says. Her glare at Nephrite is serious, but then she walks off.
At Mamoru’s apartment building, Mamoru walks up.
He heads for the entrance, but stops and looks over at the garbage.
He walks over to a pile of it on the side of the building. He holds his bag down and pulls out his Tuxedo Mask outfit.
“I don’t need this any longer,” he says.
He begins the motion of throwing them into the pile, but Zoisite’s
voice calls, “Master! Come
here… here… co… ere… come
he…” Mamoru looks about.
A nebula is seen above.
Mamoru has his head back in a planetarium. Zoisite’s piano is playing.
Mamoru’s eyes open slowly, and he realizes he’s in a different place.
“Why did he bring me here?” The
nebula is on the ceiling. Mamoru
suddenly notices Zoisite standing a few rows down.
He has his hand at his face, and he slowly removes it.
He holds his hand up and looks up, “This is the sky which we saw a long
time ago. And there is the moon,
which you really loved. Mamoru sees
the beautiful white object. Images
of the man in a tuxedo, probably Endymion, and the Princess flash of them
struggling in a fire. The Princess
gets separated from Endymion and holds her hand out.
You see an image of her eyes, which are clearly Usagi’s. Endymion grabs her hand and they fall to the ground.
“You are Master Endymion,” Zoisite says.
Mamoru looks at him. “You
fought to protect this planet.” Mamoru
closes his eyes and remembers saving Sailor Moon from Jadeite’s sharp stick in
the first episode. “Please
remember! You—” “Stop
it!!” Mamoru yells. “I… I am… Mamoru
Chiba. I don’t need the
other memories.” “Master..!” “Don’t
call me that name!!”

#3:
Queen's "We are the Champions" |
Mamoru comes running out of the building.
His cell phone rings as he runs, so he slows to a walk and eventually
stops as he answers. “Hello?
Ah, Hey Hina.” “Mamoru,
where are you?” … “Ah? The
museum? Why are you there?”
“Ah, well… The store I
wanted to go to is near here. Yeah,
I’ll be home soon.” Kunzite is
standing behind him. As he appears,
Mamoru hears static in his phone. He
turns to see Kunzite approaching him. Hina
notices as well.
Hina rushes down the stairs to Crown.
She enters worried and shouts, “Motoki-kun!”
“Hm?” “Mamoru… Is
Mamoru here?” “He left a while
ago.” Makoto and Usagi are
leaving, but Usagi stops seeing Hina and Motoki talking, seemingly overhearing
their conversation. “I see,”
Hina says. “What’s wrong?” “He called me from the museum, but hung up the phone and I
called back but he wouldn’t answer!” “Well,
is he in the subway?” “He might
be, but… He hung up the phone
strangely. He said something like
‘kuntsaito’ or ‘guntsaito’.” Makoto
and Usagi, who are listening, get shocked looks.
They glance at each other and back at Hina. “What’s that.” Motoki asks.
“You should call him again, later.”
“Maybe…” Usagi walks
up to Hina, “Excuse me.” “Oh,
Usagi-chan!” “The museum?” “There’s a planetarium…”
Usagi looks down for a second, then blasts out the door.
Makoto follows, “Usagi!!”
Outside, Makoto is chasing Usagi, “Hold up!”
Makoto grabs her arm and stops her, “Usagi!”
“I have to get there as soon as possible!!
He might be attacked by the enemy!”
Makoto grabs Usagi’s shoulders. “I
will go, so you should stay here!” “Why?!”
“Didn’t you decide to forget him?”
“But…” “Usagi!”
Makoto says as she shakes Usagi. Usagi shoves down Makoto’s hands and screams, “This is a
different situation!” She starts
running again and Makoto chases, “Usagi!”
Usagi runs with a worried face.
I want the DVD!!

#4:
That other Queen song, from Highlander |
Kunzite holds his sword up.
Usagi is running to the museum with Makoto still chasing.
Mamoru sees him holding the sword up and avoids being
chopped in half.
Usagi is still running.
Mamoru backs away and ducks, dodging another swing.
Usagi keeps running.
Kunzite tries to stab Mamoru in the stomach, but Mamoru
dodges and runs to the building. Kunzite
smirks and follows in a walk. Mamoru
runs in and looks behind him to see Kunzite enter.
They stare at each other and as Kunzite walks toward him, Mamoru backs
away. Kunzite holds his sword up
and Mamoru runs in front of a staircase. Mamoru
runs back to the opening, but Kunzite jumps over him to the other side blocking
a whole lot of nothing, just showing off and intimidating Mamoru.
“If Zoisite doesn’t think such bad things, I won’t have to kill you
here.” Mamoru looks at him.
He raises his sword and swipes it at Mamoru, but he picks up a garbage
can and blocks the blade. Kunzite swings again, but he misses Mamoru.
Mamoru lunges the trashcan at him and then runs up the stairs.
Kunzite looks on.
Kunzite is walking down a hall with a smirk across his
face, searching for Mamoru. He
looks down a hall, and without finding his target, he dramatically turns around
and heads down another hall. Tuxedo
Mask lunges his cane at Kunzite’s face, surprising him.
Tuxedo swings at Kunzite, but finds himself needing to dodge his sword
again. Kunzite goes for Tuxedo
again, but he blocks with his cane. They
get closer to each other, Tuxedo Mask struggling more to hold back Kunzite than
Kunzite himself. Kunzite then
forces Tuxedo back against some seats and onto the floor. As Tuxedo has his guard up, Kunzite meanders before him,
“You disappoint me, Master Endymion. You’re
powerless now.” Tuxedo has gotten
up and his holding his cane to Kunzite, backing away. Kunzite raises his sword and blasts his blue wind energy at
Tuxedo Mask, causing him to fall over the railing and hits the floor.
He seems to have landed in a television studio of some sort, and the
people in there look at him. Kunzite
stands above on the railing, looking down at Tux.
His attention then pans over to a youma that has begun terrorizing the
people in the studio, laughing as it does and twirling its staff around.
Tuxedo is now looking up and Kunzite who is smirking at him.
Kunzite then jumps off of the railing and down.

#5:
Any tune from the Rocky Horror Picture Show |
Outside, Usagi and Makoto are running into the building.
Usagi pauses and looks the building over before entering.
When they get inside the place Kunzite and Mamoru initially battled, they
find that, “There’s no one here…” Makoto’s
observance is true as Usagi sees the trashcan on the ground Mamoru used to block
Kunzite’s blade. “Careful, I
feel the enemy’s aura,” Luna says. They
search the space with their eyes some more, and then Luna notices a youma up a
floor, looking down on them, “Usagi-chan, look up!” They see the youma laughing.
Of course, it jumps down between the girls, but it doesn’t have its
staff with it, now. “Moon Prism
Power!” “Jupiter Power!”
“Make-up!!” As they
finish transforming, they make their ‘punish you’ poses without saying
anything, then charge at the youma. The
youma magically has its staff now and is swinging it at the soldiers.
They dodge with spinning by, just walking by, and cart wheeling by.
Moon puts her hands on her hips and winks to Jupiter who nods in return.
Moon and Jupiter twirl and kick the youma out from under its feet.
Jupiter joins Moon on her side of the youma.
They look at it as it gets up. Jupiter
then charges at it and pins it against a column.
“Usagi, get going!” “Huh?”
“Help him if you want!” “Mako-chan!” “Hurry!” Jupiter shouts as she struggles with the youma.
Moon finally goes to find Tuxedo and runs up the stairs.
The youma knocks Jupiter down and Moon looks back, “Mako-chan!”
Jupiter takes the youma by its staff and shouts back, “Don’t worry
about me! Hurry up!!”
Moon looks distressed, but continues.
She runs down a hall and turns a corner to find another wall.
She goes the other way and stumbles upon people lying unconscious in the
floor. She looks at someone who
might be Mamoru, but it’s not. “He’s
not here…”
Okay, now I KNOW there is more than one Ronald McDonalds
running around because this one is JAPANESE!!
AHHH!!! The little girl was
cute, though…
In the studio, Kunzite says to Tuxedo, “Before, you’ve
said you were pursuing yourself. You
were not afraid to know your past.” On
the ground, “You became the person you were afraid of before.”
“That’s your fault. This
planet perished because of your disappointment.
I will get revenge on everything. The
first will be…” He holds his
sword up and slides his fingers up its blade, “…you, Master!”
Kunzite swings his sword at a defenseless Tuxedo Mask.
The blue energy winds being flung at him on and on until, “Wait!”
They look up to see Sailor Moon on the ledge before the railing.
She jumps down as well. Tuxedo
Mask looks at her all dramatically. Kunzite
looks at her all dramatically. She
looks at Kunzite all dramatically. Kunzite
flips around to return to his beating of Tuxedo Mask, but then Zoisite calls
out, “Kunzite!” and is holding up a green light that is making a pulsating
noise. He seems to be using it as a
shield more than anything else as he approaches Kunzite.
Kunzite needs to adjust his holding of the sword as he pushes against
Zoisite’s shield. While they do
that, Moon runs over to Tuxedo Mask and stands in front of him to keep Kunzite
from getting to him.

#6:
Koi suru Soldier |
Zoisite’s light disappears, and Kunzite slices at him
with his blue wind. Zoisite falls,
and Kunzite looks back to Moon and Tuxedo.
Moon puts her defense up, and Zoisite gets back up.
Kunzite fires his wind at him again, and Zoisite falls. He disappears in a green light, “Kunzite…”
Kunzite finally adjusts his attention to Moon and Tux.
He slides his fingers to the tip of his sword, and concentrates the blue
wind into its tip and fires a laser at Sailor Moon, who blocks it with her
forearms. She’s pushed to the
ground and Tuxedo Mask looks at her, worried.
Moon gets back up and begins breathing heavily.
She begins to glow with a golden aura.
Kunzite stops his attack and shields himself with his cape.
Moon holds up the Moonlight Stick. She
slowly glides it through the light and aims it at Kunzite.
“Moon Twilight…” She
flips around and fires, “Flash!!” The
fireworks have become golden and increased in number and intensity.
Kunzite blocks with his sword. As
he holds the attack off, he says, “I see… Sailor Moon, you are…”
He then disappears with a flip of his cape.
Moon’s aura dies and she collapses to the ground with Tuxedo’s eyes
on her.
Jupiter and the youma are still battling, and Jupiter is
dodging traditionally. She sees a
garage-like door open slightly, and then looks to the youma. It snorts, and then the door closes to Jupiter’s alarm.
The youma laughs and goes for Jupiter again.
Jupiter twirls away, gives a couple of good kicks, but then the youma
slaps her in the back with its staff and flings her to the ground.
The youma then closes in on Jupiter, but then it needs to block a flame
that comes at it. Sailor Mars is
across the area tossing fire at the youma and she finally gets it down.
Mars poses, and then jumps to the side opposite the youma of Jupiter.
Jupiter gets up weakly, and then looks at Mars.
“Now!” she says. Jupiter
nods and runs over to her. They
nods at each other and hit their “Venus” hand shapes against each other
making a cute ting. “Supreme
Thunder!” Super Duper, “妖魔退散!”
The youma dies screaming. The
girls put their arms down and Jupiter looks at Mars.
Mars looks suspicious and says, “Usagi is…”
“Yeah.”
In the studio, Tuxedo
is holding Moon up and he says, “Because you protected me, you were…
I’m sorry.” “It’s
okay… But have you seen a guy?”
“A guy?” “He is like
your height and his name is Mamoru Chiba.”
Moon looks down and Tux looks at her emotionless.
“He might have been attacked by the enemy!
You haven’t seen him?” He
now looks worried. “No…”
Moon becomes distressed again and tries to get up, “I have to hurry and
help him!” Tuxedo gets up as well
and the two of them start limping on their way.
“That’s impossible! The
enemy has left already! Leave him
be!” “I can’t!
He might have been knocked down!”
Moon tries to hurry, but falls over.
“Wait,” Tux says as he gets down with her, “Why are you so…”
Someone’s heart is beating very hard.
“I told you I wanted to give a muffler to a boy, and he is Mamoru!”
Tuxedo looks at her surprised and worried at the same time.
Moon gets up, “So I have to save him!”
Moon winces. “Perhaps,”
Tuxedo thinks. Moon starts up the
stairs, anchoring herself on the railing. Tuxedo
Mask follows her.

#7:
The "I just got my identity revealed and I look pretty stupid"
song. And/or The March of Superman. |
Moon is now on her
way down into the entrance of the museum down the stairs in there.
She is trying to rush. Tuxedo
Mask exits another place, slowly following Moon.
Sailor Moon then falls at the base of the stairs and Tuxedo runs to her. He grasps her shoulders and says, “Stupid!!”
“What are you calling me stu—”
Moon looks back at him in shock. She
remembers earlier that day when Mamoru saved her from being ran over.
“Stupid!! You can’t walk
yet!!” “What are you calling me
stupid for?!” “Why didn’t I
realize?” Sailor Moon thinks as she turns to Tuxedo Mask.
She raises her hands up to his face and pulls his mask off. She slowly pulls it away to reveal Mamoru.
They look at each other as the sun shines brightly through the glass
room. The moon cycles circles
Sailor Moon’s face.
WHAT?!
NO PRINCESS?! How about next time?
“Mamoru Chiba is
Tuxedo Mask?” Usagi says breathlessly.
Minako turns to
Artemis, “I feel they will awaken soon.”
“Where is the real
thing?” Beryl says.
Hina runs past
TurtleSuit!Motoki and Mamoru and out of Crown.
“Hina!”
“I should ask him straight
forward! I’m busy!!” Usagi says
and then nods to herself as she walks down a street.
Moon is on the floor backing away from Kunzite. He raises his sword to
kill Sailor Moon, but Evil Mercury calls, “Kunzite! She’s mine!” Kunzite
stops her by putting his sword before her.
“Today’s special,” Kunzite says.
He raises his sword up, “‘Target Sailor Moon’.”
He goes to swing at her, but Tuxedo Mask jumps in the way and he screams
as Kunzite’s blade gets him in the back, but somehow his mask falls off
chopped in half. “Mamoru!!”
