Inside of Mistress 9, Hotaru fades away. Hotaru apologizes to ChibiUsa for everything she's done.
Sailor Uranus and Neptune attack Mistress 9 with "World Shaking" and "Deep Submerge" but Sailor Moon, who is still refusing to accept a sacrifice, steps in front of Mistress 9 and takes the attacks.
Mistress 9 extends her hair and cements Sailor Uranus and Neptune into a statue of herself.

Professor Tome comes into the room apologizing to Hotaru for everything he had done. Hotaru's soul begins to fight Mistress 9 again for control of her body, and it looks like Hotaru finally won.

Professor Tomoe goes to his daughter and asks what she needs. She tells him that she needs the grail so she can rid her body of Mistress 9.

Sailor Uranus and Neptune yell at Sailor Moon and tell her that it's a trap. Sailor Moon doesn't listen to them though. She believes Hotaru and summons the grail and gives it to Professor Tomoe. As soon as he give it to Hotaru, Mistress 9 takes control again and rises up in full power, making Hotaru fade away again. She tells Sailor Moon that the grail has the power of the strongest heart crystal using it and the only way to defeat it is with an even more powerful heart crystal.

Outside the building, Sailor Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Venus, fight to keep their forcefield up to protect the city, but all the Daimon are getting stronger and bigger.

Back inside, Mistress 9 tells Sailor Moon, Uranus, and Neptune that once her master Pharaoh 90 has the grail, they won't be able to stop him. She places the grail through the glass, into the dimension inside the globe. The grail is then destroyed.

Sailor Moon uses "Moon Spiral Heart Attack" into the dimension, but Pharaoh 90 just sends a blast back more powerful than her attack, and knocks Sailor Moon down.

Pharaoh 90's energy starts to go all over the place and attacks Mistress 9, but Sailor Moon stands in front to protect Hotaru and her father.

Professor Tomoe starts to talk to Hotaru, and finally her spirit makes it back. Mistress 9 is still fighting to keep control. Hotaru then thinks of her father and ChibiUsa and realizes that she has people she cares about. The symbol of Saturn appears on her forehead, then her body disappears.

Sailor Uranus shouts that it was Sailor Saturn, the soldier of death and destruction.

Pharaoh 90 starts to grow rapidly, and destroys the barrier held by the other senshi. The entire building then explodes in a black energy beam.

At Mamoru's house, the spirit of Sailor Saturn reveals herself to Mamoru and tells him that ChibiUsa will be alright. She return's ChibiUsa's heart crystal. Luna and Artemis rush in the room. Artemis explains that it was Hotaru as Sailor Saturn.

Back at what is left of Mugen Academy, Sailor Uranus yells at Sailor Moon and says that she hopes she's happy now that she has just brought on the end of the world.

Sailor Saturn appears in front of Sailor Moon and thanks her for protecting her body. Professor Tomoe whispers Hotaru's name along with Sailor Moon but Sailor Saturn explains that she is neither Mistress 9 or Hotaru but she is Sailor Saturn.

She tells Sailor Moon that if she had the grail, she may be able to help, but Saturn is the only senshi with the power strong enough to even near Pharaoh 90's core.

Sailor Moon asks her what will happen to her, and Saturn says that she is feared because she has the power to destroy an entire planet, but using her powers will kill her.

Sailor Saturn thanks Sailor Moon once more and leaps into the vortex to fight Pharaoh 90.

Sailor Moon starts to cry and keeps screaming out to transform into Super Sailor Moon with "Crisis Make Up!" but withg the grail, she can't.

Sailor Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Venus, Uranus, and Neptune lend her their power. Sailor Moon tries once more, successfully transforming into Super Sailor Moon. Using the power of her heart crystal, Super Sailor Moon enters the vortex.

In a few moments, Pharaoh 90 explodes and is destroyed. At the center of the explosion stands Super Sailor Moon holding a little baby Hotaru.

I love this episode because of this scene right here: 

One of the most emotional scenes in the whole series.
