A young shrine priestess is walking slowly through an orchard of cherry trees on an early spring day.

"There is no where like Japan when the cherry blossoms are in bloom." said the young priestess.

Suddenly from deep in the orchard was a large splintering crack of a tree snapping.

"What was that?" the priestess asked herself running toward the source of the noise.

In the middle of the orchard there was a large cherry tree snapped through the trunk laying on the ground.

"What could have happened here?" she asked getting closer to the tree noticing deep cuts in the trunk, "Are these claw marks? I must consult the sacred fire.

With that she raced back to the temple. Two ravens sat on top of an arch way watching here carefully.

"Ne tora ushi u mi tatsu tori uma hitsuji saru inu I." said the priestess as she se sat in front of a burning fire forming hand seals.

Within the flames appears an image of an ape with scales for fur.

"What is that thing?" said the priestess jumping back in surprise as the flames blazed upwards turning dark red.

"We're called Fanglers." said the creature that shone in the flames which was now standing I'm the doorway "And now princess of Mars you get to die."

As Rei slowly backed a way from the Fanglers towards the fire a rock flew down from the ceiling and hit the left Fangler in the side of the head.

"What was that?" roared the Fangler as all three of them jerked there heads towards the ceiling where a tall brunette in a beige school uniform with her hair up in a messy ponytail.

"Leave her alone ordered the girl as she launched another rock at the creature and jumped down to the floor."

"Well, well aren't we lucky the Jupiter princess has come the rescue. Now we can kill them both easily." said the lead Fangler as he hurled a fistful of blades at the girls.

The girls quickly dove out the way and the blades crashed through the back wall.

"I won't let you destroy my temple." said Rei as she reached into a pocket in her robe and pulled out a fist full of sutras. "Evil spirits dispel." and threw the sutras at the Fanglers sticking to them and burning them.

Suddenly a fire red and an emerald green orb shot through the hole in the wall and knocked the Fanglers out the door. The green orb came to rest and turned into a wolf in front of the brunette girl. As the red orb came in front of Rei and turned into a raven.

"Makoto princess and senshi of Jupiter, I am Zea I have been sent to be your guardian and guide."

"Rei princess and senshi of Mars, I am Artemé I have been sent to be your guardian and guide."

Speaking together "We now restore your memories and powers as sailor senshi." Rei and Mako's planet signs shone on there fore heads as the as there memories returned to them.

"Now transform and get rid of these creatures."

Flashes of green and red light and the girls appeared in there senshi forms.

"Lets get 'em Mars."

"Great they got there powers back."

"No big deal we'll still be able to destroy them easily." Said the leader as he hurled a handful of blades at Jupiter.

Jupiter Oak Evolution yelled Jupiter as she spun launching green orbs at the blades destroying them. Unfortunately her attack was not able to continue onto the Fangler.

"My turn. Mars Flame Sniper" yelled Mars as a arrow of fire shot at the Fangler who threw a Handful of blades at the arrow stopping it.

"We don't have enough power to stop them. Artemé."

"Zea, can you do anything to help us?"

"Say Sacred Guardian Power Make Up, and we will be able to help you."

Artemé and Zea turned back into there orb forms and quickly flew into the girls combining the powers in flashes of green and red light.

When the light faded Jupiter stood there in a new uniform her scarf was trimmed in gold and had a lightning bolt edge. Her boots and gloves where now trimmed in salt and pepper fur which also was covering her shoulders.. The trim of her skit was also trimmed in gold and had a lightning bolt edge. The gem in her chest bow was I bright emerald and now shaped like a rose as well was the gem on the choker. Her tiara had become silver with lightning bolt details and the gem was a bright emerald.

Mars's uniform now was adorned with a pair of purple black wings. She had a gold bracelet on each wrist. Her Tiara was now silver with flame details and the gem a brilliant ruby. Her bows and shoulders had become purple black feathers like her wings. Her chest jewel had become the same ruby as her tiara jewel and was shaped like a raven and she now had ankle bracelets with raven charms on them.

"Alright Jupiter lets see what kind of power we have now."

"It still won't be enough to beat us." roared the leader throwing a handful of blades at Jupiter.

"Please those old toys won't work this time." she said a she flipped backwards to give herself some room.

Jupiter Sacred Howling Thunder

The antenna in her tiara raised as she spun around and gathering electric energy from the air. Forming a circle of electric energy in her hands in front of her then let out a wolfish howl that produce a thunderbolt that went through the ring sending several rings down the thunderbolt as it flew at the Fangler destroying the blades and striking him exploding in a large electrical blast.

"Wow! Jupiter, its rather apparent that your power has increased. Lets see if mine has."

Mars Sacred Fire Tail

She flew into the air and the charms on her ankles began to glow bright red as she flew. Then burst into flames forming a long flaming ribbon behind her as she flew. Reaching down she grabbed the flames on her ankles and using them like whips rapped them around the Fangler who burst into flame and became nothing but, a pile of ashes.

*********

After the battle Artemé and Zea returned to there animal forms and the girls turned back to normal.

"Alright we need to get ready the other senshi should be here soon."

"Well two of them are already here." said Setsuna from the doorway.

We just need to hope the others make it here as easily as we did.
