Synopsis

Alan finds an ad for a Virtual Reality Theater and decides it would be a perfect place to harvest energy for the Doom Tree. Serena and Luna head for the theater to meet her father, Kenji, and her brother Sammy. There is a huge line to get in. On the way, she decides Luna knows how to restore Darien's memory and demands she do so. Darien passes by and teases her. She drops Luna and follows him. Ann spotted Darien and tries to ask him out. Serena tries to pull him away from Ann. Alan suggests they go in together, as he's got ?special passes'. The girls arrive late and must wait in line. The inside is like the inside of a video game and, much like laser tag; the participants must zap monsters with their laser pistols. Kenji and Shingo were just ahead of them. Shingo and Darien began to get into the game. Ann mooned over Darien. Serena seemed intimidated by the game. Serena got frustrated, both by the game and by Ann's flirting. Scared by a VR monster, she ran off deeper into the game. Darien ran after her. Ann feigned weakness to ward off Alan's jealousy, so Alan produced a Cardian and set it to attack the crowd. Darien caught Serena and tried to show her how to shoot. She was grateful for the time with him. Sammy runs up and tells them real monsters are in the game. They follow him back and find the Cardian attacking Kenji. Darien defends him while Serena becomes Sailor Moon. She attacks with her tiara, but the tiara dies in mid-flight. The Moonlight Knight appears, with Darien still in the room, and cuts the Cardian with his scimitar. But while his back is turned the Cardian wraps the Knight up in its tentacles. The Scouts enter the battle and defeat the Cardian. Later, as Kenji and Sammy are nursed by Ikuko, Serena wonders who the Moonlight Knight is and why her tiara attack no longer works.
