OK, I'm back.

This act focuses on Mamoru's return, who is now known as Endymion.
Upon his return, he unknowingly bumps into Usagi which causes her to
drop Mamoru's watch that she was holding. When she picks it up, she
sees that it has started to work again. It had been working on the
Moon and stopped working once they returned, obviously tied to Mamoru
somehow.

Endymion goes to the arcade and hypnotizes Motoki into believing that
they are best friends. We get introduced to Motoki's girlfriend, Reika
and as a budding geologist, she describes the four stones, Jadeite,
Nephrite, Kunzite and Zoisite. We also find out that Motoki is the son
of the arcade's owner.

Meanwhile, the girls meet in Ami's fabulous penthouse to discuss the
stone sword they brought back from the Moon with them. Minako trips in
the lobby and chips the marble floor with the sword and later they
shatter a diamond with it. Apparently Ami has many diamonds to spare
so it is no big deal (say what!?). BTW, Minako is really clumsy-cute
in this scene. It appears that the sword and possibly the old Moon
Castle are now composed of a toxic stone that is harder then diamond.

Usagi goes to the arcade to play the Sailor V game and runs into
Endymion who is working there. Usagi is confused and wants to believe
that this is really Mamoru despite Motoki's assurance that this is
actually his old friend, Endou. She ends up going to the arcade every
day to be near him. Endymion is also confused by Usagi's and her
hairstyle, remarking that it looks like that of Sailor Moon. He finds
that he cannot hypnotize her as he did Motoki. They both play the
Sailor V video game incessantly while Endymion attempts to gain access
to the secret control room.

In the end, he hypnotizes Makoto into leading him into the control
room and there is a battle with the senshi for the silver crystal.
This act ends in a confrontation with Queen Beryl.

Some notes about Mixxzine's treatment. They kept Mamoru/Darien's
nickname, Endo; They had Usagi/Serena/Bunny calling Minako "V-babe"
instead of "V-chan" which I would consider a pretty decent
localization.

Mamoru is taken to the dark side in the anime, but they seem to have
taken it in a different direction then the manga. I think it's because
this act came out in December '92, at the same time the anime was
dealing with the same situation. There was simply not enough time to
map the anime to the manga.
