The MovieSailor Moon RThe Promise of the Rose
Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon R The MovieSerena appears and introduces herself to the audience. She tells us that she has the power to transform into Sailor Moon with the use of her compact and then tells us about Sailor Mercury, Sailor Mars, Sailor Jupiter, Sailor Venus, Luna and Artemis and how together, they'll protect the planet from all evil.
In the past, a young Darien walks onto the rooftop of a hospital to meet a young boy called Fiore. He gives him a rose and asks him not to leave. Fiore says he has to, In the present, Serena and the girls go to meet Darien at the Jindai Botanical Garden. They all have a great time exploring the gardens with Serena and Darien seeing this as a chance to get some privacy. While in the greenhouse, Serena and Darien come across the flower, forget-me-not which causes Darien to vaguely remember Fiore in his childhood. Serena tells him that in the language of flowers, it is the flower for love and moves in with her eyes closed for a kiss.
As Serena opens her eyes she screams and backs away as fast as she can. All the girls laugh.
Outside Darien reflects on how relaxed flowers make him feel. Suddenly the sky is filled with flower petals. Serena and the others come outside to join Darien and are Suddenly in the centre of the garden grounds a man appears and walks towards Darien. He tells him that he's Fiore from long ago and that he's kept his promise of returning with flowers for Darien. He then holds Darien's hand gently, causing Serena to grow concerned and hold her boyfriend. Fiore pushes Serena away, knocking her onto the ground. All the girls yell at him for pushing someone. Fiore tells them that noone will stop him from completing his promise and disappears in a storm of flower petals.
That night Luna and Artemis are watching a news report about a meteor that is flying past the Earth. They tell the girls that at the moment it'll miss the Earth and even if it did, Serena doesn't seem interested however as she's concerned over Fiore and what kind of relationship he had with Darien in the past. Serena tells the girls that she and Darien never talk about his past as it was very lonely for him. All the girls then get sidetracked and start talking about their first loves. Serena sits outside and thinks about Darien.
Suddenly Raye stops and tells everyone she senses an evil presence. The all run around the corner to the source of the evil but Rini trips over and is left behind.
When they round the corner, they see a huge amount of people unconscious on the ground. Artemis tells them that they've all had their energy drained. Luckily Raye uses her spiritual powers and her charms to burn the vines and return the bodies to their inanimate form.
Sailor Mercury pulls out her computer and locates the source of the energy, a pink flower just across the road. Suddenly the flower jumps up, grows in size and begins to The flower then extends it's vines and grabs Raye and Amy. Mina and Lita transform into Sailor Venus and Sailor Jupiter and attack it with Venus Love Chain Encircle and Jupiter Thunderclap Zap which knocks it back, freeing their friends.
Inside the building, Rini wakes Serena up by sticking tissues in her nostrils and blocking her mouth. Serena, unable to breath wakes up and yells at Rini but Rini tells her the Outside Sailor Jupiter has thrown another Jupiter Thunderclap Zap at the flower but missed. The flower then grabs all four Sailor Scouts and begins to drain their energy.
Out of nowhere Sailor Moon's tiara comes flying into sight and slices the vines, freeing the Sailor Scouts. Sailor Mercury then uses Shine Aqua Illusion to freeze the flower and Sailor Moon then uses Moon Sceptre Elimination which destroys the flower. Fiore then appears and a blossom on his chest unfolds revealing itself to be an alien lifeform. Luna and Artemis are shocked and recognise it as being the Kisenian Blossom!
The Kisenian Blossom tells Fiore to attack and he does so but Tuxedo Mask appears and stops him. He tells Fiore that if his friendship is true then he must trust Sailor Surprisingly Tuxedo Mask jumps in the way and is severely wounded by Fiore. Fiore takes Tuxedo Mask's body away with him to the meteor, leaving Sailor Moon crying over the loss of her love.
When Darien wakes up, he finds himself floating within a crystal on the surface of the meteor. Fiore approaches him and reminds him of how he had been alone in space
Back in Tokyo, the Sailor Scouts have gathered in Azabu Juban with Rini, Luna and Artemis to decide what to do next. Artemis and Luna tell them that while they had never Sailor Venus, Mars, Mercury and Jupiter decide to take the battle to Fiore but Sailor Moon who is still feeling at fault for Tuxedo Mask being captured begins to cry.
The five Sailor Scouts then hold hands in a circle and perform the Sailor Teleport which teleports them into space and towards the meteor.
Sailor Mercury uses her goggles and spots Tuxedo Mask who is still trapped inside his crystal prison. Before they can move though, Fiore appears and tells them of his
Sailor Venus suggests that Sailor Moon use her sceptre to stop this battle before it starts. Sailor Moon agrees and fires off a powerful Moon Sceptre Elimination that wipes out a majr part of the flower baddies. Sailor Venus, Sailor Mars, Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Mercury all attack with massive versions of Venus Crescent Beam Smash, Mars Fire Ignite, Jupiter Thunder Crash Much to the horror of the Scouts, the flowers all combine into one giant mountain and move to attack them. Sailor Mars pushes Sailor Moon out of the way as they're all engulfed in the mountain of monsters.
Sailor Moon runs to them to try and dig them out but it's too late. Fiore begins to gloat and then pulls the four Sailor Scouts' bodies out of the mountain and shocks them all with an electric attack. Fiore tells Sailor Moon that if she surrenders her Moon Sceptre he will free her friends. The Sailor Scouts tell Sailor Moon not to do as he says as Fiore then begins to feel conflicting emotions seeing which makes the vines holding the Scouts and flower creatures disappear. The Kisenian Blossom quickly begins to influence Fiore again and empowers him up to a more powerful red form. Fiore announces that he will kill Sailor Moon for getting in his way. Sailor Venus then yells at him to stop as Sailor Moon saved her in every possible way. Fiore tells them that they don't know what it's like to be alone which causes all the Sailor Scouts to briefly recall how they were all alone as well.
Fiore then moves to attack Sailor Moon but is struck in the chest by a rose thrown from Tuxedo Mask who had managed to escape.
Being struck with a flower by Darien causes Fiore anguish which makes him revert back to his former self and disintegrates all the blossoms covering the meteor's surface. Sailor Moon then sits up and tells him she will stop him. She opens her compact and reveals the Imperium Silver Crystal but Fiore reaches and grabs it, causing Sailor Moon to detransform in a burst of pink transformation ribbons. Serena simply looks at Fiore and tells him that perhaps if he sees how she and Darien first met he will understand true friendship.
In the waves of emotion, the Kisenian Blossom is destroyed and Fiore disappears.
Despite this, the meteor is still heading towards Earth and has just begun re-entry. Serena then transforms into Princess Serenity and summons the power of the crystal to In a burst of pink light the Imperium Silver Crystal shatters and Princess Serenity collapses as the meteor streaks across the Earth's atmosphere.
On the meteor, Sailor Moon's body lies motionless. Everyone is crying around her. Sailor Mars begins to shake Sailor Moon's body but nothing seems to work. The Imperium Silver Crystal is completely gone.
In Darien's mind, Fiore appears and gives him his "life flower" as a thank you for Sailor Moon tells everyone to trust her next time she says everything will be okay. Everyone begins to laugh and cry and hug Sailor Moon while telling her they love her.
Interesting Facts Fiore is obviously of the same species as Alan and Anne who appeared in the first part of Sailor Moon R and like them has a dependence on plant life, this time with the Kisenien Blossom. What's more interesting is the fact that Fiore was made by the production teams an an homage to Anne and Alan and that Fiore and Kisenian Blossom even share the same Japanese voice actors as the two aliens! Ironically, the English voice actor for Alan is the new voice for Tuxedo Mask!

Behind a nearby shelf of plants, Raye, Amy, Mina, Lita, Rini and Luna P are spying on the two love-birds.
