DARK MERCURY:


click for larger version In act 20, Ami feels quite lonely. All of her friends seem too busy with other pursuits to pay attention to her. On her way home, Kunzite appears before her in a swirl of black rose petals. She tries to defend herself, but the villain sends a blast of energy at her. Her head droops as his energy takes over. In act 21, Makoto goes to Ami's house and finds her lying on her bed, nearly unconscious. Makoto makes her some food, and when Ami is feeling better, she suggests that they go to an amusement park. They go, but while on the merry-go-round, Ami passes out. While waiting for the girl's medical records, Makoto hears a strange noise come from Ami's hospital room. She rushes in and finds that the room has been torn to pieces, and black rose petals are scattered about. Ami, staring blankly, walks to Kunzite's lair. Sailor Jupiter tries to save her, but it is no use. Ami is now completely under Kunzite's control. She transforms with "Dark Power, Make Up!" to Dark Mercury, an evil incarnation of Sailor Mercury, and challenges the senshi to a battle. Dark Mercury continues as an enemy of the senshi until act 28, when she finds that she has hurt Sailor Moon. She is healed because of her love for her friend, and Kunzite loses her. She has no memory of what has happened while she was Dark Mercury, but feels guilty that she has tried to hurt her friends. Dark Mercury is played by Chisaki Hama.
