Though Usagi and Chibiusa defeat her with a combined attack, Mistress 9 allows herself to be assimilated by a fully manifested Master Pharaoh 90 as he overpowers Sailor Guardians and Mamoru while breaking the Outer Guardians' barrier to commence his assimilation of the planet. Usagi uses the Moon Chalice with the last of her friends' energy while throwing herself into Master Pharaoh 90 in an apparent sacrifice. This causes the talismans react, awakening Sailor Saturn from what remained of Hotaru's body. Explaining to the Outer Guardians that her role as a destroyer is necessary for renewal, Saturn proceeds to mortally wound Pharaoh 90 as he recognized her as the light from his visions. Saturn then prepares to swing her Silence Glaive down, the Outer Guardians explaining that Saturn intends to wipe out the entire planet with her weapon's motion. Panic-stricken, Super Sailor Chibi Moon calls out to Super Sailor Moon just as the Silence Glaive is sharply swung down on its edge.
