His life is further complicated when he happens upon a mysterious crystal shard the same night he discovers a new comet.​ It turns out to be the vehicle of a malevolent power from the far outskirts of the galaxy that hopes to take over Earth.​

In another story,​ Rei's background,​ and her unrequited feelings for her father's executive secretary are revealed.​ The final tale is a total comedy that follows the children of Usagi and her fellow Sailor Guardians,​ proving that apples do not fall far from their trees!
