And here is the second half:
Prelude of Romance: Act II ~ Endymion ~
26:01
Luna:
What a beautiful full Moon... Nights like this make me remember the Silver Millennium.
Usagi:
Just thinking about it makes me mad! Saying way too much...
Luna:
What are you irritated about?
Usagi:
I'm not irritated!
Luna:
Did you have another fight with Rei?
Usagi:
Not with Rei.
Luna:
Then with Mamoru?
Mamoru:
A date? Iif you have time for that, you should go home and study a bit. I don't want to help increase the number of test papers that get rolled up and thrown away.
Usagi:
How can the two of us be bound by destiny?
Luna:
Bound? I don't know about that.
Usagi:
Well, before your memories of long ago returned, Usagi, didn't you say you liked Motoki far more than Mamoru?
Usagi:
That's...
Luna:
Mamoru has lost his memories in his reincarnation, who knows whether he'll fall in love with you, Usagi. As things stand right now, there's not much hope.
Usagi:
Don't be so mean! So mean!
Luna:
I'm going to take a walk since it's a moonlit night. Romance is always so bitter.
Luna:
If you just rely on destined bonds...Someone else will just take them away.
Usagi:
So what? I don't think thinking that someone else will take him will help me grow as a person, you know!
Usagi:
Get out of here, cold-hearted cat!
Luna:
We really need to find a way to get Mamoru's memories back.
Usagi:
Please, dear Moon... Let me recover that time with the person I loved once more.
Luna:
I'm not getting a lot of confidence from everyone. I really have to stand my ground over this sort of thing. What? Could this wave be...
Rei:
Luna?
Minako:
Luna?
Luna:
Rei! Minako... and Artemis too!
Artemis:
You sensed it too, didn't you, Luna?
Luna:
Yes.
Rei:
That was no ordinary wave, was it? I'm sure I felt an intense energy around here earlier.
Minako:
Look! Someone's collapsed on the riverside!
Luna:
That's a boy right?
Minako:
Don't worry. He's breathing. His pulse is normal too. But his body is a little cold.
Rei:
Oh? Doesn't this person look like Mamoru to you?
Luna:
But a little younger...
Artemis:
Was he the source of the wave?
Minako:
Wait. He's trying to say something.
Man:
I have to hurry... My beloved...
Rei:
Beloved?
Artemis:
Did he say beloved?
Minako:
Does that mean something, Artemis?
Artemis:
Yes, he might be...
Luna:
Whatever the case, we have to help him first.
Rei:
You're right.
Ami:
Yes. This is Ami.
Minako:
Ami, we have an emergency situation. There's a boy here who has lost consciousness, could your mother's hospital take him?
Ami:
I think they should be able to. Did you say a boy?
Minako:
Yes. Though we still don't know much about the circumstances. I think he'll need a blanket as soon as possible though.
Ami:
Where are you?
Minako:
The riverbank by the terminal. Under the big bridge there.
Ami:
Got it. I'll be right there.
Artemis:
In any case, we should move the prince to the other side.
Rei:
Prince?
Artemis:
Yeah. I daresay he is the first prince of the Earth Kingdom, Prince Endymion.
Serenity:
He always shone for me. I want to see them. I want to see them.
Makoto:
Endymion appeared? What does that mean?!
Usagi:
He... Endymion's safe, isn't he?
Artemis:
It's too soon to know, you two.
Usagi:
Hey, hey!
Makoto:
Calm down, Usagi.
Minako:
The prince is in the bath right now. He regained consciousness but his body had chilled so much, they wanted to warm him up
Makoto:
I don't really get what's going on, but does it mean that in short Mamoru hasn't regained his memories?
Luna:
Well, Artemis, I'll let you explain.
Artemis:
It's a story from very long ago.
Rei:
From our past life, right?
Artemis:
Yes. This was when the Silver Millennium flourished and when Earth was still just a single kingdom.
The Princess of the Moon, Princess Serenity and the Prince of the Earth, Prince Endymion... Despite the fact that these two were each heirs to the thrones of their kingdoms, people of the Moon and Earth were never to communicate. That was their fate. However, the two met by chance.
Serenity:
That man who stands upon on the oasis planet that shines brighter than the clear glass sky. He is gentler than anyone I have ever met, and yet such lonely eyes. I had no planned to meet with him that night. I just wanted to see him closer up. That was all.
Endymion:
You startled me.
Serenity:
I am sorry. I...
Endymion:
Even with the Moon as bright as it is, I never would have thought there would be someone like you deep in the forest so late in the night.
Serenity:
I...
Endymion:
I didn't mean to sound like I was criticising you. It's not like this forest belongs to anyone. It's just that I didn't think anyone knew about this lake hidden deep within the trees. This is my special place. But there are dangerous beasts in this forest. What in the world is someone like you doing here?
Serenity:
I...
Endymion:
Such beautiful hair... It's as if the light of the Moon has crystallised.
Serenity:
I... have been watching for you a very long time.
Endymion:
What?
Serenity:
I have been watching you for a very long time.
Artemis:
But the day after meeting Princess Serenity for the first time, Prince Endymion was harshly rebuked for his crime. A clansdestine meeting with someone from the Moon was an unforgivable crim, even if it was the Prince, no... because it was the Prince.
Voice 1:
I saw it. The one he met was Serenity.
Voice 2:
The Prince is deceiving us.
Voice 3:
How could our precious Prince do such a thing?
Voice 4:
Something must be done about the Prince.
Artemis:
Prince Endymion's status as a member of the royal family had to be tested, so he was subjected to a ritual ordeal.
Usagi:
Ordeal?
Artemis:
A terrifying ordeal in which he has thrown into a hole called the Well of Peace which he had to escape from on his own.
Artemis:
The Well of Peace... Contrary to its name, it was a devil hole where it was said that if one who was not royalty entered, they would never come out again. When people from our Moon Kingdom later investigated it, they found that well to be truly perilous and sealed it in secret. Surpisingly, the well turned out to be a Space-Time transfer tunnel. In other words, it was an entrance to the other side of the universe beyond time and space.Though the well was sealed, we still had some doubts.
Luna:
I remember. Come to think of it, even the science of the Moon Kingdom could not explain how the Prince managed to safely escape that Space-Time tunnel after being thrown in.
Artemis:
That's right. Humans in a Time-Space tunnel, no matter who they are, cannot move to a desired location under their own power. Only the power of the Silver Crystal is known to control it. At the time, we thought that Queen Serenity might have secretly helped and guided the Prince. But there was no evidence that the Silver Crystal had been used at the time. So I've always wondered about it. But the mystery has finally been solved. Naturally, the Prince didn't come here by chance tonight. The one who summoned him here must have been you... Usagi.
Usagi:
What? Me?
Artemis:
No doubt about it. You summoned him with the power of the Silver Crystal that was illuminated by the light of tonight's full moon.
Serenity:
My time with him... Let me take it back again somehow. Water that a withered and dry flower like me cannot help but seek. Wanting to see him... I want to see him.
Artemis:
The Prince must be returned to his era as soon as possible. If you can use the power of the Silver Crystal again before the full moon sets tonight, you can return him to his original era.
Rei:
His original era?
Makoto:
That's all? Then there's no problem.
Usagi:
Ah!
Minako:
What's wrong?
Usagi:
What do I do? I forgot to bring the Silver Crystal!
Luna:
Do I really have to tell you to do things to that extent?
Artemis:
There's still time. Tonight the Moon will set at dawn.
Usagi:
I'm sorry! I'll get it right and way and be back!
Luna:
Usagi!
I'm sorry, no matter how much time passes, she doesn't seem to gain any awareness.
Ami:
But it is strange. In this moment, under the same sky, Prince Endymion and his reincarnation Mamoru existing at the same time.
Rei:
Hey, what will happen if the prince is unable to return to his original era?
Artemis:
If he is unable to return, history will change drastically. In fact, without Endymion... I wonder how the battle against the Dark Kingdom concluded back then? We don't even know if they were sealed away. We have to send hiback to his original era no matter what... and only Usagi and the Silver Crystal can do it!
Luna:
...and yet that Usagi forgets something as critical as the Silver Crystal.
Ami:
She usually has it with her though.
Makoto:
Huh? Now that you mention it, I thought Usagi had it with her when she showed up.
Luna:
She forgot she had it, it's a common pattern for her.
Usagi:
We have to hurry!
Endymion:
Ouch! Where are you going?
Usagi:
Don't worry about that, just follow me!
Ami:
We have a problem! The Prince isn't here!
Everyone:
What?!
Ami:
He's disappeared from his hospital room!
Rei:
Did he run away?
Minako:
No way. I can't imagine that knowing his situation.
Rei:
Usagi took him away.
Makoto:
Rei...
Minako:
She can't have...
Luna:
But it is a possibility.
Artemis:
How could this happen?
We only have until the Moon sets. The Prince can't be returned to his original era unless its tonight. Usagi may be Serenity's reincarnation, but n matter how long ago they were lovers... Messing about just because of nostalgia.
Rei:
That's not it. Usagi just realised it... If he returns to his original world... His life... will soon be cut short.
Luna:
Usagi...
Usagi:
I didn't know that Endymion went through such a tragic ordeal just after meeting Serenity, I mean after meeting me. I didn't know. I just wanted to see him.
Usagi:
We've made it this far. We can have a moment's rest.
Prince:
A moment's rest from what?
Usagi:
That group back there are some really bad guys.
Prince:
I didn't see it that way.
Usagi:
You can't tell with girls just by looking at them.
Hey, since you've travelled so far across time. Let's do some future sightseeing. Some future sightseeing, yeah!
Prince:
Who... are you?
Usagi:
Me? I'm Usagi Tsukino.
Luna:
Usagi...
Artemis:
But none of that means it's okay for history to change. We have to hurry and find them.
Rei:
I'll let them get away.
Minako:
Rei!
Rei:
Sweet little Rei's maiden's heart can't help but support them.
Artemis:
Rei! I understand how you feel, but this isn't the time to be sentimental. The Prince must be returned to his original era.
Rei:
If it comes to forcing Endymion back against his will, I know I will block everyone's way. That's why I cannot search for him.
Makoto:
Rei...
Artemis:
Rei! No... Sailor Mars... I don't want you to forget our mission.
Rei:
I'm sorry. I'm going home. I'm sorry.
Usagi:
Well, sometimes she gets mad and then gets scary and won't let me into the house, but usually she's very kind. So is Dad, and I've got one cheeky little brother.
Prince:
Is that right? But it sounds like a lot of fun.
Usagi:
Is that tasty?
Prince:
Yes. It's quite a mysterious drink that sort of pops in your mouth.
Usagi:
It's called soda water!
Prince:
I see... Honestly I still can't believe this is the future Earth.
Usagi:
Oh look! You see those big apartments over there?
Prince:
You mean those buildings?
Usagi:
Yeah! Let's try going up to the rooftop there.
Prince:
These characters light up in order!
I see... This is a mechanism to reach the higher floors, isn't it? Fascinating.
Usagi:
It's an elevator!
Usagi:
This way!
What do you think? This is the city of Tokyo seen from a building rooftop.
Prince:
It's dazzling!
Does our history continue into this world? It's full of so many unknown thing s aside from that shining full Moon.
Usagi:
The full Moon... The Moon's already that far into the West...
Artemis:
The Prince must be returned to his era as soon as possible. If you can use the power of the Silver Crystal again before the full moon sets tonight, you can return him to his original era.
Beryl:
Those who defy me must die!
Endymion:
Stop! You must stop this futile conflict!
Serenity:
Endymion!
Endymion:
Serenity! Stay back!
Usagi:
No. I can't let him go back.
Makoto:
Which way do we go?
Luna:
Ami's sensor can't work out Usagi's whereabouts.
Makoto:
What's the matter, Ami?
Ami:
I've been thinking about what Artemis said and what it means. Is it really okay to use our power to make the Prince repeat it through?
Makoto:
What do you mean?
Ami:
He said the Prince accepted a trial as a member of the royal family, right? I'm starting to feel like it would be best to leave it to Usagi.
Artemis:
I told you earlier. This is a very serious matter. Depending on the circumstances, history may change to that Dark Kingdom ruling the Moon and Earth! Leave this to Usagi alone when she still hasn't even awakaneed fully as the Princess? How can you believe that?
Ami:
You know, because I was always studying, I was shunned by everyone. I didn't have any real friends.
Luna:
Ami...
Ami:
I'd just tell myself that studying was just something that nothing else could be done about. But I was really very lonely. But in class and at cram school, everyone thought of me as a cold and unpleasant person. But before I even awakened as a Sailor Soldier, Usagi was the first person in my life to befriend me.
Artemis:
I get it, but this and that are totally different issues.
Makoto:
I agree with Ami.
Artemis:
Makoto!
Makoto:
I'm the same way. I'm big, I'm strong, I'm good at fighting. Everyone was always scared of me. I'm glad I had followers, but until I came to Juuban Junior High School , I didn't have any proper friends.
Ami:
Mako...
Minako:
I understand. Yeah... I trust in Usagi too.
Artemis:
Even you, Minako?!
Minako:
Hey, Artemis... It'll work out, no matter what happens. It's just like Ami says, let's try leaving the Prince to Usagi. She is our precious princess after all.
Artemis:
That's... Luna, please say something.
Luna...
Luna:
Everyone... Thank you.
Usagi:
Hey, would you like to go to a place with a lake together tomorrow? You take a vehicle called a train. It's a much larger box than the elevator from earlier, and it carries a lot of people inside, and moves at fast speeds on a track called a rail. On one of them, you can travel to faraway places in no time at all. It's the perfect time of year, the lake gets covered with beautiful flowers. Though we don't have to go to the lake.There's plenty of others places I'd like to show you around.
Prince:
This place truly does seem to be a good era. No-one passing by holding any swords. Calm expressions.If it were possible, I would like to spend more time in this era with someone like you. I really wish I could. But cats from the Moon and these girls with them explained it to me.. I can only return once that full Moon sets... and a girl would soon appear who could return me to my original era. That's what they said. I knew with one look. You're her, aren't you? You look so much like someone I know from my original era. What's wrong?
Usagi:
I didn't know. I didn't know you had to go through such an ordeal. I can't believe that wanting to see you so badly is what caused you so much hurt. I'm so sorry. If only I hadn't gone to see you...
Prince:
I don't really understand whar you're trying to say.
Usagi:
You can't go back! If you go back, you'll...
Prince:
I am the Prince. Please understand.I have to go back no matter what it costs.
Usagi:
But...!
Prince:
What kind of person is Mamoru?
Usagi:
What?
Prince:
When you first saw me, that was the name you said. No matter what fate awaits me, I must go back. It's not just because I am a prince. There is a person waiting or me in my era. Someone very important.
Usagi:
I'm sorry.
Prince:
She has beautiful hair just like you. I wouldn't be who I am if I didn't go to her.
Usagi:
Endymion...
Prince:
Now... The Moon is about to set... Please... send me back to the era where she is.
Usagi:
I will!
Prince:
Thank you... Miss Usagi Tsukino...
Usagi:
Good-bye, Endymion.
Prince:
Good-bye.
I'm glad I met you. If I was reincarnated in this era, I would fall in love with you at first sight.
Usagi:
Endymion...
Endymion!
Serenity:
A precious season forgotten long ago. A promise unfulfilled. He always shone for me, a lonely star. I want to see him. I want to see him.
Mamoru:
Hey!
Usagi:
Hey!
Mamoru:
Sheesh. Even when I don't want to see you, I end up seeing your face anyway, Dumpling. What's the matter, you don't seem very cheery? Got another bad test result?
Usagi:
I'm sorry!
Mamoru:
Hey, what's wrong? Are you crying? I don't know what happened, but I'm happy to listen to you.
Usagi:
I'm sorry!
