Act 5 - Crystal Points, Attack

Act 5 - Crystal Points, Attack is the fifth act of the first arc, and the fifth act overall.

Summary
A new plan has been formed for capturing Crystal Points: Using dark henges implanted in various negative area’s of Tokyo, they will override the points with the power of the Malefic Black Crystal, over powering the protective Crystal Points of Crystal Palace, allowing their forces to enter the Palace and assassinate the Royal Family. The next negative point to be attacked is one out in East Tokyo, and Hikari and Calaveras go to destroy it. And they talk about some stuff concerning Guardian Cosmos and Crystal Tokyo. Kukki, Hikari and Kiyomi meet up and talk about what is going on. Kukki sides with Hikari, not knowing of her relation with the Black Moon. A droid is sent after Chibiusa at her school, and Artemis alerts Minako of this. Both Venus and Tuxedo Mask chase after the droid but are sidetracked after they discover what is happening at the abandoned shrine. Stellar bargains with the two, releasing Chibiusa if they agree to release Sailor Galaxy. One of Calaveras’ earrings fell off in battle, so Tuxedo Mask collects it to study it’s secrets.

Allusions

 * One of the names Kiyomi ponders for the group is "The Parallel Sailors", referencing the Parallel Senshi in the manga side story Parallel Sailor Moon.
 * "Very Fancy Restaurant" is a loose reference to the Very Fancy Door scene in A Series of Unfortunate Events. The door, being fancy, is out of place in the dark and grim lumbermill. Likewise, the casually dressed schoolgirls are out of place in the high dining venue.
