(CWi Episode: "A New Nightmare")
The Amazoness Quartet, a group of magical pro-adolescence girls, take over the hunt for Pegasus. And they start by going after Momoko, Chibi-Usa's friend, during a public performance by the Dead Moon Circus.
Tropes in this episode include:

- Contrasting Replacement Character: The Quartet to the Trio. While the Trio consisted of older men who were obedient to Madame Zirconia, the Quartet consist of little girls who openly badmouth Zirconia and aren't afraid to push her buttons. Also, while the Trio use an elaborate but traumatizing method of searching through people's dreams, the Quartet girls only need to use their balls to knock out the Dream Mirrors from a victim's body.
- "Eureka!" Moment: A young boy Lemures exclaims to have figured it out.
- Gold-Colored Superiority: Queen Nehelenia states that the holder of Pegasus will have a golden mirror instead of a pink one.
- Growing Up Sucks: The Amazoness Quartet detest the idea of growing up because of how restrictive and boring it is to be an adult whereas children are allowed to have fun and do as they please.

- Sealed Evil in a Can: For reasons unclear, Nehelenia is trapped behind a giant mirror.
- Snake People: VesVes summons Garagara Girl, a Dream Eating Serpent Lemures who looks like a pale skinned girl with a giant red snake body.
- The Starscream:
- Just to show how they aren't afraid of her, VesVes tries to attack Zirconia so she can take over the circus. While Zirconia manages to overpower her, she thinks to herself how strong VesVes was and how she'd be in serious trouble if all four of them decided to attack her at once.
- Later on, the Quartet talk with each other about keeping Pegasus to themselves rather then handing him over to Zirconia.
- This Is Gonna Suck: After their first failed mission, the Quartet talk among each other about how their new Pegasus mission is going to be exhausting and boring.
