After a brief encounter with a man wearing a tuxedo, the cat appears again, revealing her ability to speak and introducing herself as Luna. Luna gives Usagi a brooch that allows her to transform into a Sailor Guardian. After transforming, Usagi hears a plea from Naru. Naru's mother had been replaced by a monster named Morga who was using the jewelry family business to drain energy from those who bought them. Calling herself "Sailor Moon", Usagi confronts Morga.

Minako manages to call forth the holy sword and Usagi manages to break the necklace that sends Metalia's power to Beryl, destroying the latter in the process. Afterward, Metalia has Mamoru steal the holy sword. This forces Usagi to chase after him through a portal taking them to the North Pole. As Usagi confronts Mamoru, who has the power of Queen Metalia behind him, the other four Sailor Guardians end up having to confront the Four Dark Kings in order to reach her. The Sailor Guardians manage to purify the Four Dark Kings and remind them of their true purpose, but Metalia kills the four kings.

The other Sailor Guardians attempt to fight in Usagi's place, to no avail. Metalia uses the power of the Legendary Silver Crystal to spread her evil all over Earth. Meanwhile, Luna has Artemis take her to the command crystal to ask for Queen Serenity's help. Despite the seemingly hopeless situation, the other Sailor Guardians sense that Usagi is still alive and use their own life force to awaken her. She survived her suicide attempt thanks to Mamoru's pocket watch. Using the Legendary Silver Crystal's power, Usagi breaks free from Metalia's grasp. She is relieved to find Mamoru is still alive.
