Appearance

History
Hawk's Eye is sifting through a mechanic's dreams, those of Natsumi Ichinose, in his hunt for Pegasus, when three guardians step in to stop him: Sailor Moon, Sailor Chibi Moon, and Sailor Mercury. He answers by calling up Buranko. She hoists the three of them high overhead, each dangling from its own trapeze, then snips the ropes in turn with her scissors to send them falling. Sailor Mercury catches Sailor Moon and seizes Chibi Moon by the ankle as she plunges. Just before the final trapeze can be severed, Tuxedo Mask knocks the scissors from her grip and keeps the two from plummeting. Buranko pulls out a second pair and comes at them, yet Sailor Chibi Moon's Twinkle Yell brings forth Pegasus, and Moon Gorgeous Meditation from Sailor Moon finishes her.
