Sailor Mars and Sailor Neptune battle against another clone of Nehelenia, but after an exhaustive battle, they faint and get captured by Queen Nehelenia. Meanwhile, Sailor Pluto and Sailor Venus also fall into captivity, while Sailor Jupiter sacrifices herself to save Sailor Moon, who fell under Nehelenia's hypnosis. One of Jupiter's rose earrings remains behind, and as Usagi looks at it, she remembers Tuxedo Mask. The hypnosis is broken, and Usagi makes her way through the final barrier to Queen Nehelenia's castle, which is a stairway covered in thorns.
