Act 14 Conclusion and Commencement - Petite Étrangere -

Drawing on the Silver Crystal, Sailor Moon makes her final bid to seal Queen Metalia forever and rescue the Earth from her spreading corruption.

When the crystal alone fails to move Metalia, Tuxedo Mask urges Sailor Moon to keep faith and pray to the Tower of the Moon, and she gathers the power of the Guardians' transformation pens and the Legendary Sword. Her prayer makes the tower climb higher until the moon's light grows too strong for Metalia to absorb, and a single concentrated blast at the enemy's heart destroys her. Drained, Sailor Moon collapses and her brooch shatters, but Mamoru wakes her with a kiss.

Usagi and Mamoru use the Moon Stick to travel to the moon, where Queen Serenity's image blesses them and leaves behind a new brooch, the Crystal Star. Sailor Moon then heals everyone on Earth, reviving the fallen Guardians, and the girls return to ordinary life. The calm is brief: Rei glimpses a figure marked with an inverted crescent moon in her fire and senses ill fortune ahead. Moments later, as Usagi and Mamoru kiss, a Luna-P sphere drops onto Mamoru and a small girl who shares Usagi's hairstyle and name tumbles from the sky, then draws a gun and demands the Silver Crystal.

This fourteenth chapter closes the Dark Kingdom arc and serves as a prelude to the Black Moon story, written and illustrated by Naoko Takeuchi. It introduces Chibiusa, the items Luna-P and the Crystal Star, and the phrase Moon Crystal Power, Make Up, along with Rubeus glimpsed only within Rei's fire.

The subtitle draws on the French for "little stranger," and the grammatically correct feminine form for Chibiusa would be Petite étrangère; the English re-release amended the wording yet still printed it imperfectly. The act's title later inspired the name of a Sailor Moon stage musical.
