  [[Jedite|Jadeite]] was eager in turning computers against humans by using them to drain the energy humans expend into yearning after scholastic achievement. For this to happen, [[Jedite|Jadeite]] summoned his female servant – a [[Negaverse monster|youma]] called Garoben to assume the human form of an instructor from the ''Crystal Seminar Cram School'' . At the cram school, Garoben established a computer course and advocated to the students the use of a ''Crystal Disk''. This disk was a 3.5” floppy disk containing “revolutionary” software which could turn anyone into a genius with prolonged usage. The software inside the disk actually contained brainwashing software that absorbed the energy of humans turning them into human zombies completely under the [[Negaverse monster|youma]]'s control. [[Usagi| Usagi (Serena) Tsukino]] and [[Luna]] discovered the true nature of the ''Crystal Disk'' after [[Usagi|Usagi (Serena) Tsukino]]’s new friend [[Sailor Mercury|Ami Mizuno (Amy Anderson)]] misplaced her copy of the disk in the arcade centre ''Game Centre Crown'', thus causing them both to be suspicious of [[Sailor Mercury|Ami Mizuno (Amy Anderson)]]. Eager to interrogate [[Sailor Mercury|Ami Mizuno (Amy Anderson)]] , [[Usagi| Usagi (Serena) Tsukino]], disguised herself as a school superintendent and went to the cram school to investigate. After discovering that the students were being brainwashed [[Usagi| Usagi (Serena) Tsukino]] confronted [[Sailor Mercury|Ami Mizuno (Amy Anderson)]] and transformed into [[Sailor Moon]], only to be shocked into witnessing [[Sailor Mercury|Ami Mizuno (Amy Anderson)]] being taken hostage by Garboen and Garoben revealing her true [[Negaverse monster|youma]] form to [[Sailor Moon]]. The attacks that Garoben employed against [[Sailor Moon]]n were rather unique. Instead of attacking [[Sailor Moon]] immediately, she would quiz her adversary and attack them if they failed to provide her with the correct answer. [[Sailor Moon]] refused to answer a math question to Garoben and as such was attacked by test papers which turned into razor sharp knives. [[Sailor Moon]] managed to dodge them but was cornered by the zombie-like students that Garoben used to defend herself. While [[Sailor Moon]] was busy fending off the students, [[Sailor Mercury|Ami Mizuno (Amy Anderson)]] was forced into having her energy drained by looking at the computer containing the ''Crystal Disk''. After resisting, an infuriated Garoben changed the tissue of her left arm into an axe and tried to kill [[Sailor Mercury|Ami Mizuno (Amy Anderson)]] with it. After managing to dodge the first swing of the axe, [[Sailor Mercury|Ami Mizuno (Amy Anderson)]] transformed into [[Sailor Mercury]] and used her “Sabão Spray (Mercury bubbles)” attack against Garoben. The attack proved extremely effective that the effects of the ''Crystal Disk'' on the zombie-like students wore off and the cold mist created by [[Sailor Mercury]] gave [[Sailor Moon]] the opportunity to finally defeat the shivering [[Negaverse monster|youma]] with her with her [[Moon Kingdom|Moon Tiara]].
