In Usagi's house, Usagi and her mother are yelling at each other. The fight culminates with Usagi running up to her room, packing her bag and running away from home. As she's packing her bag, Luna asks what her and her mum are fighting about this time. Usagi tells her that her mum didn't make the dinner that she wanted.
Unfortunately she catches Ami heading to cram school. Usagi then tries Makoto's place but she's renovating so she finally goes to Rei's temple.
Meanwhile in Rei's temple, Usagi is helping Rei and the girl colour the pages of the story. Rei tells Usagi that it's about a famous legend called "Princess Kaguya" about a princess from the moon. Rei says that the young girl believes that her dead mother is on the moon so she wants to be like Princess Kaguya so she can go there and see her again.
Just then, Zoicite is finishing his song, "Requiem for a Princess". He summons a Youma which immediately begins singing the piece. All over the world real princesses faint and images of princesses burst into flames. At Rei's temple, the girl who wanted to be Princess Kaguya collapses on the floor. Rei and Usagi both hear the Youma's singing and transform into Sailor Mars and Moon and track the Youma down.
When they arrive, Sailor Jupiter and Mercury are also there. They all attack the Youma but Sailor Jupiter, Mars and Mercury are all quickly taken out by the Youma. Sailor Moon summons her powers and raises her Moon Wand. A powerful pink glow flows from the crystal, defeats the Youma and restores the energy to to all the princesses and repairs all the burnt images.
Later that evening they all watch the story of Princess Kaguya at Rei's temple. With the mention of Kaguya returning to the moon, Usagi begins to cry. She tells her friends that she's upset because her mother isn't her real mother. Luna says that even though she's from the moon, Usagi is still Usagi. With that Usagi returns home and hugs her mother.
