A great evil, consisting of Queen Berly, her four generals, and an amorphous evil power named Queen Metaria attempt to steal the energy so that Beryl can take over the world. Standing in their way are the Sailor Senshi, five middle school aged girls: Usagi Tsukino, Ami Miunzo, Rei Hino, Makoto Kino, and Minako Aino two beings that appear to be sentient stuffed cats (Luna and Artemis); and Tuxedo Mask; a Jewel Theif in search of a Silver Crystal. Later in the series Metaria and Sailor Moon each get too powerful to be reined in, and the conflict shifts to attempting to postpone the inevenitable destruction of the planet Earth.
