In
the film, long before Mamoru found his destiny with Usagi, he gave a
single rose in thanks to a lonely boy who helped him recover from the
crash that claimed his parents. This long-forgotten friend, Fiore, has
been searching the galaxy for a flower worthy of that sweet gesture long
ago. The mysterious flower he finds is beautiful, but has a dark side -
it has the power to take over planets. To make matters worse, the
strange plant is tied to an ominous new asteroid near Earth! Faced with
an enemy blooming out of control, it’s up to Sailor Moon and the Sailor
Guardians to band together, stop the impending destruction and save
Mamoru!
