Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon episode 14
title: Aratanaru kyouteki, Nephrite mano monshou
      [A new formidable enemy, the evil coat of arms Nephrite]
aired: 1992.06.13
 
[I'm doing this from the Sailor Moon anime manga book volume 4.]

Queen Beryl told Nephrite that he was the new commander of the evil
forces to get more energy.  Nephrite said, "I won't be like Jadeite and
grab energy from just anybody.  I will get a lot of energy from just one
person.  People are controlled by the movement of the stars.  I will read
the movement of the stars and get the energy when it is the highest that
it will be in their lifetime."  Then Zoisite appeared and said that
Nephrite seemed like he was full of confidence.  Nephrite snapped back
and told Zoisite to get lost because his job was to get the ginzuishou.

Nephrite figured out from the location of the stars that the person with
the highest energy was Saionji Rui.

At school Naru and Usagi were watching a tennis match, along with a lot
of other students.  Saionji Rui was practicing.  Then Naru called out,
"Big sister Rui!"  Usagi then said that she didn't know Rui was Naru's
sister.  Naru said that Rui was just a childhood friend who treated her
very nice like a big sister.

Then a cool looking young man with long hair (Nephrite) came by to watch
the match.  Usagi and Naru immediately had hearts in their eyes.
Nephrite jumped over the high fence into the tennis court and said, "Put
more weight into the ball."  Then he switched with the girl that Rui was
playing against.  He told Rui to serve.  After Rui served, Nephrite hit
the ball back very strongly.  Rui tried to hit the volley back, but the
force of the ball knocked the tennis racket out of her hand.  Nephrite
said, "With a serve like that a fly could stop on it."  When Rui asked
who he was, Nephrite answered, "Sanjouin Masato, a curious tennis coach."
Then Sanjouin grabbed Rui's tennis racket which was on the court.
Nephrite put a youma into the racket and gave it back to Rui.  Then
Sanjouin told Rui to just think about putting more weight into her serve.

After talking the advice Rui served to a boy and knocked him down.
Everyone was surprised at the speed of Rui's ball.  Then Rui kept
practicing her serve to a bunch of boys.  All of the boys got knocked
down.  They were scared of Rui's ball.  Usagi thought that Rui was very
cool.  But Naru noticed that something was wrong with Rui.

Luna learned from the computer that the enemy that they were fighting
against was called the dark kingdom.  She also learned that the dark
kingdom was after human energy and the ginzuishou.

The girls and Luna were at Hikawa shrine.  Luna told the girls about the
dark kingdom.  Then Usagi suggested that they take up tennis to build up
their strength and endurance.  When Ami and Rei asked why, Usagi said
that there was a cool looking tennis coach, Sanjouin Masato.  Rei said,
"Then you gave up on Tuxedo Kamen."
Usagi then said, "Oh yeah..  What should I do."
A disappointed Luna said, "I'm glad Ami and Rei are with me.."
Usagi got upset and asked, "What."
Luna said, "If I only had you, the dark kingdom would have gotten the
energy of all humans by now."
Rei said, "Isn't it some mistake that Usagi is one of us."
Ami said, "That's saying too much, you two."  Usagi was very upset, but
since Ami was the only one that was nice to her, Usagi hugged Ami.  Then
when Usagi asked Ami to play tennis with her, Ami said that she had to go
to cram school.

Naru called Usagi over to her house to discuss Rui.  Naru said that Rui
seemed to be a different person.  Naru then told Usagi what happened
earlier that day.

Rui was practicing with the tennis team.  But she hit the ball too strong
and knocked the other girls down.  The girl even cracked her tennis
racket.  Then Rui stepped on it and broke it, saying that she brought
another racket.  Rui just kept practicing.  Later when Naru approached
Rui, Rui said that it had nothing to do with her.

When Naru started crying, Usagi said that she would help out.  Usagi
suggested that they investigate right away.

Usagi and Naru went to the tennis school that Rui usually went to after
school.  Usagi felt that a youma might be involved and became scared.
But Usagi thought that if she solved this by herself, Luna and Rei would
think better of her.  Usagi and Naru saw Rui drilling the ball against
some professional tennis coaches.  The pros wanted to quit, but Rui
yelled at them.  When Naru yelled out to Rui to stop it, Rui swung her
tennis racket and blew Naru and Usagi into the bushes.  Then since Rui's
energy had reached the peak, Nephrite unleashed the youma from inside the
tennis racket.  Usagi saw the youma and transformed into Sailor Moon.

When Sailor Moon went to face the youma, the youma shot a tennis ball at
her.  Sailor Moon tried to run away, but the ball hit her.  Then a large
body-sized tennis ball formed around Sailor Moon.  The youma bounced
Sailor Moon high into the air.  Sailor Moon was totally helpless.  Then
a red rose came flying by and hit the youma.  The youma tried to hit her
tennis ball at Tuxedo Kamen, but Tuxedo Kamen's staff extended to hit the
youma.  The youma fell down and the large tennis ball around Sailor Moon
disappeared.

Sailor Moon thanked Tuxedo Kamen, but Tuxedo Kamen told her not to let
down her guard.  Then the youma attacked Sailor Moon again.  Sailor Moon
turned to run away but she fell down.  The youma fired at Sailor Moon
again, but Tuxedo Kamen came just in time to save Sailor Moon.  Then
Tuxedo Kamen told Sailor Moon to get ready to finish off the youma.  The
youma blasted Tuxedo Kamen and Sailor Moon, but Tuxedo Kamen threw his
rose.  The rose hit the youma and Tuxedo Kamen told Sailor Moon to use
her tiara.  But Sailor Moon saw that Tuxedo Kamen got hit.  Tuxedo Kamen
told Sailor Moon to use the tiara again, and Sailor Moon obeyed.  The
tiara destroyed the youma.

Sailor Mercury, Sailor Mars, and Luna arrived just in time to see the
youma get destroyed.  When Sailor Moon looked around, Tuxedo Kamen was
gone.

Later when Naru and Usagi were watching Rui playing tennis, Naru told
Usagi that Rui didn't remember anything.  Usagi said that since she was
all right now, there was nothing to worry about.  Then Rui came and asked
Naru if she wanted to play tennis together.  A happy Naru went off to
play with Rui.
