It all started in the future. In particular, the Tokyo of the future, Crystal Tokyo. Serena's future self, NeoQueen Serenity, puts the entire world into a long, deep sleep. When everyone awakens, she uses the power of the Imperium Silver Crystal to purify eveyone. Those that feared the purification were "chased" to a dark, distant realm called Nemesis (aka the 10th planet of the Solar System). While they are on Nemesis, an evil being by the name WiseMan makes their hatred towards the people of Earth, the people who made them seek refuge in Nemesis, grow to unbelieveable levels. It is then that the people of Nemesis begin to comprise a plan to take over Crystal Tokyo, steal the Imperium Silver Crystal, and make them their own!
It is present times, and the ruler of the NegaMoon, Prince Diamond (ME!^_^), has thought of the perfect plan to take over Crystal Tokyo, the Imperium Silver Crystal, and the Universe as we know it. He sends agents to the past (our present) to conquer important points in the future, called Crystal Points. Not only do Diamond's agents have to conquer Crystal Points, but they have to be on the look out for NeoQueen Serenity's daughter, Rini, who has escaped from the future and is in the past (our present) in search for the Imperium Silver Crystal and the Sailor Senshi (to save her mom).
The first minions Prince Diamond sends to conquer the Crystal Points are Rubeus and the 4 Sisters of Nemesis (Catsy, Bertie, Avery, and Prisma).
Rubeus: Rubeus was the leader of the 4 Sisters and in charge of making sure that the Crystal Points were taken over (to make it easier for Prince Diamond's forces to take over Earth in the future). By using the 4 Sisters like pawns, he is able to make some advancements. However, his attitude towards them leads to their defection. In succession, each of the 4 Sisters turns to the side of good once Sailor Moon and the other Senshi have shown them the error of their ways.
However, Rubeus does strike back. He ends up succeeding in capturing the 4 Inner Senshi in an attempt to get to Rini and the Silver Crystal. But, Sailor Moon and Rini end up boarding Rubeus' UFO, weakening Rubeus, and saving the Senshi. Just as the UFO is about to explode, his comrade, Emerald, tells him that he is no longer needed by Prince Diamond. The UFO then explodes, with Rubeus still inside. He fails his mission miserably......what a pitty.
Dark Crystal Factoid(s):
*Unlike the anime, Rubeus' relationship with the other members of the NegaMoon family (Emerald, especially) is a relatively positive one.
*In contrast to the anime, Rubeus meets his fate in the SMR manga from being killed by WiseMan, after questioning his loyalties and ambitions towards the NegaMoon family.
Catsy(Cooan): Catsy is the youngest of the 4 Sisters. Her powers specialize in the art of Dark Fire. Her powers are equal to those of Sailor Mars. She is always continually trying to win Rubeus' favor by doing the best possible job she can. In Catsy's last episode in the form of a villain, she fails to capture Rini. Rubeus gets mad at her and tells her that she is worthless. As a last act of "kindness", Rubeus gives Catsy a dark orb that contains the power to destroy everything within a large blast radius. While in tears, Catsy is about to use the orb. But, by some fast talking by Sailor Mars, Mars assures Catsy that being evil isn't the end and that turning to the side of good will enrich her life. Catsy agrees with Mars and Sailor Moon uses her Moon Scepter to erase all of the evil within Catsy. From that moment on, Catsy lives a normal life. She does, however, still worry about her sisters (who are at this point, still evil).
Dark Crystal Factoid(s):
*Contrary to the anime, Catsy is killed off in the manga (by Sailor Mars) (who is then captured and taken away by Rubeus).
Bertie(Beruche): Bertie is the 2nd youngest of the 4 Sisters. Her powers specialize in the art of Dark Water. Her attacks are equal to those of Sailor Mercury. She spends too much time worrying about her looks and not about hermission. In Bertie's last episode as an evil villain, she enters a chess tournament at a new "stadium" built by one of Amy's father's friends. As the tournament progresses, the finals match ends up being between Bertie and Amy. Once Bertie knocks out a tv monitor and changes form, Amy changes into Sailor Mercury. As fatal chess match ensues. In the end, Bertie ends up losing to Mercury. In a sudden burst of emotions and anguish that she didn't get the job done, she attempts to freeze the room she is in ice solid (with herself still inside!!). Once the ther Sailor Senshi change into their respective forms, they enter the room where Bertie is trying to "end it all" by freezing herself to death. Catsy tags along and persuades Bertie not to take her own life because she failed at doing something evil. Bertie sees what she was doing wrong and agrees to get purified by Sailor Moon.
Dark Crystal Factoid(s):
*Unlike the anime, Bertie is killed off by Sailor Mercury (in the manga). (Sailor Mercury is then cpatured and taken away by Rubeus).
Avery(Calaveras): Avery is the second oldest of the 4 Sisters. She doesn't have the "powers" that her other sisters are able to use, but she does have her own, powerful weapon. That weapon is a whip. She is equal in power with Sailor Venus. She is like her sister, Prisma, in the way that she always wants to get the glory for a job well done, whether that job is done by her or someone else! She is constantly putting pressure on her other sisters to conquer the Crystal Points and capturing Rini.
Avery does end up turning over a "new leaf", as her sisters Catsy and Bertie have done (up to this point). It is on a bridge that it happens. Avery and her sister, Prisma, are engaged in a battle between the Sailor Senshi. Avery then asks her sister is she can use the power strobe that she has (Prisma acquires the strobe from Rubeus earlier on in the episode). Prisma refuses, citing that Avery should be destroyed, and Prisma blasts Avery away with the power strobe! Avery is in total shock as to why her OWN SISTER would do such a thing to her! Prisma then opens up a huge warp hole in the middle of the bridge, which then begins to suck everyone into an empty void. Some words and actions are then exchanged by the Sailor Senshi, Prisma, Avery,Catsy, and Bertie, and Prisma agrees to put an end to the portal. After that, Avery convinces her sister, Prisma, to join the side of justice and love, just as their other sisters had done previously.
Dark Crystal Factiod(s):
*Contrary to the anime, Avery is disposed of by Sailor Venus (in the manga). (Sailor Venus is then captured and taken away by Rubeus).
Prisma(Petz): Prisma is the oldest of the 4 Sisters (and she also uses that to her advantage in certain situations). Her powers come from the art of the Dark Thunder. Her attacks are equal to those of Sailor Jupiter. She is the only one of the Sisters to have not fallen in love with Rubeus. (She is really in love with Sapphire!).
As I have said in Avery's info (above), it is during a battle on a bridge that Prisma decided she wants to give up her life of evil for one of happiness and comfort. She and her sister, Avery, were sent by Rubeus to retrieve their "lost" sisters, Catsy and Bertie, and bring them back to the NegaMoon. To aid her, Rubeus gave her a power strobe. The strobe increased the power of its handler 100 fold! This only makes Prisma's ego grow even larger than it already is. Avery is jealous that she didn't get the strobe, but doesn't give it much of a second thought. She and Avery were battling the Sailor Senshi (and winning, too!), when she decided that she didn't need the help of her sister, Avery, so she just blasted Avery with the strobe. Avery was totally caught off-guard by her sister's attack! Prisma then begins to wreak havoc on the Sailor Senshi, Avery, Catsy, and Bertie by opening up a huge portal that begins to suck everything it can into its empty void. With everyone trying to tell her that what she is doing is wrong, Prisma makes the decision that what she is doing IS wrong and that she needs to stop it! So, she attempts to sacrifice her body (to overpower the portal), but her other 3 sisters convince her not to. It is the Sailor Senshi that end up venturing into the portal and overloading it by doing their Sailor Planet Power attack. Prisma and her sister, Avery, then decide to go with what their sisters Catsy and Bertie have done and become normal people! It is with Avery's and Prisma's "switch-over" to good that the 4 Sisters of Nemesis are finally ALL normal (which totally angers Rubeus).
Dark Crystal Factiod(s):
*Unlike the anime, in the manga, Prisma is destroyed by her counterpart, Sailor Jupiter (who is then taken away by Rubeus).
