As usual, it is recommended that you have read the original Simpmoon and the preceding two eps of Simpmoon R.
The fic is far too long. I will welcome suggestions about which scenes could be editied out, although I reserve the right to disagree.
I can't be bothered splitting it up into lots of little files, so will just quote into post.
As usual here we start with Luna's intro...
Be warned. This fanfic conforms to no known continuity anywhere, except hopefully its internal one.
In this fanfic, transformed Sailor Soldiers/Senshi will be referred to as (planet)-(name). So Lisa as Sailor Moon is MOON-LISA. A "soldier" is one of Lisa's group. A "senshi" is one of Usagi's group.
Speech in is said in Japanese and subtitled at the bottom of the screen.

EXT : SIDE OF APARTMENT BUILDING, NEW YORK - DAY
There is a balcony at a pair of open glass doors, and a narrow ledge runs from the balcony and around the edge of the building. LUNA carefully walks along the edge of the building and approaches the balcony. She glances down for just a moment.
LUNA (nervous) : Pretty high up...
She smirks a little, and looks straight ahead.
LUNA : It's a good thing I didn't bring Mamoru along, or he'd have spent the whole day up here posing and throwing roses!
Luna continues toward the balcony and jumps the wall between it and the ledge. She approaches the doors.
LUNA : Hm, they're open... maybe I've got lucky and she's in...
Luna steps through the doors.
CUT TO :
APARTMENT INTERIOR
The place is a bit of a mess. It's clear nobody's been here in a while. Tables and chairs are knocked over; there are cushions, glasses and ornaments on the floor and burn marks in the walls. Luna looks around in dismay.
LUNA : This is less encouraging...
She takes a few steps forward, and something goes *squelch* under her paw. Luna grimaces for a moment, looks at the paw, and then looks at a glass that is lying on the floor nearby.
LUNA : Floor's still wet... hm. Whatever happened can't have been long ago...
She's interrupted by the sounds of someone unlocking the front door.
LUNA : uh oh...
She runs and hides behind a couch. The front door opens, and EGON SPENGLER and WINSTON ZEDDMORE (of the Ghostbusters) enter. They're wearing a suit (Egon) and casual clothes (Winston) and they carry quite a hunk of complex machinery and computers between them.
EGON : Lets just put it here...
They do so. Luna watches as Egon starts setting up the machine. Winston takes out a PKE (PsychoKinetic Energy) meter and starts scanning the apartment with it.
WINSTON (confused) : That's funny... (hits the screen on the device) Hey, I'm not picking up any PKE in here Egon.
EGON : What? None?
WINSTON : None at all.
EGON : Strange... I think we can rule out the chances of it being a ghost then. It was definitely something supernatural though, we know that.
WINSTON : yeah... nothing physical could have done that.
Winston takes out a clear plastic bag and a spoon, and starts scraping some of the soot from the walls into the bag. Luna watches Egon for a moment, before he stands up in front of the machine.
EGON : Well, that should be it.
WINSTON : What is that thing anyway, Spengler?
EGON : A PKE analyser I've modified to look for other kinds of energies.
WINSTON : Oh yeah?
EGON : When an amount of energy is exerted, tiny pieces of energy can continue bouncing around the room for days, sometimes even years afterwards. That's why you get a uneasy feeling entering haunted places sometimes, even though the ghosts are long gone - it's the residual energy rebounding around the room.
WINSTON : Gotcha. So this machine picks up that energy?
EGON : Correct... it will also triangulate the path of the energy, and give us a probable timeline of events here.
WINSTON : Man, that'll be useful...
EGON : Just need to give it a minute to sample the room. Try to stay still.
Egon presses some keys on a keyboard, and the analyser hums into life. Luna watches silently as they stand around for a while.
WINSTON : So, why do y' think this always happens to Dana?
EGON : What do you mean?
WINSTON : Well, it seems like it's always Dana getting possessed, having her baby kidnapped, turned into a dog, trashing her groceries, finding a portal to hell...
EGON : Oh, I see what you mean. I was talking to a colleague in Japan just a few days ago about this actually.
WINSTON : Yeah?
EGON : He's been doing research into this with some ordinary schoolgirls over there. Turns out there are some kids there who are always being attacked by monsters, or kidnapped by princes who want to marry them and so on... they seem to be naturally inclined towards it. He's calling it "designated victim syndrome."
WINSTON (amazed) : And people actually research this kind of stuff?
EGON (narrows eyes) : He's trying to develop a cure.
WINSTON : So that the rest of us can be attacked instead?
The machine goes *PING!* Winston and Egon turn to it.
EGON (changing subject) : Ah, it's done.
He stoops down in front of the screen, and starts tapping away at the keyboard. A line graph appears on the computer screen.
WINSTON : What's that?
EGON : A graph of the energy levels in this room over the last 48 hours. (looks at it) That's strange... there seems to have been a standing charge in this whole apartment. (points at the graph, where the line wavers above the axis. His finger moves over to a sudden rise) Then it rises here (points to a spike) and spikes here two minutes later, before quickly fading away.
Winston looks over to the scorched wall.
WINSTON : I guess that spike's when they attacked her, huh?
Egon nods. Behind the couch, Luna sighs and lies down, looking depressed...
