Furry Guardian Sally Moon

Episode 21:  Jupiter Strikes

Queen Ruby is in a chamber giving energy to a containment.  As it was sent into it, a female voice came out as a black void appeared in what looked like a water-filled chamber.

"Oooh," the voice said.

"Great ruler, you have awakened," Queen Ruby said.

"It seems the energy of humans has awakened me from my long sleep.  But it is not enough," the voice said.

"Then what must we do," Queen Ruby asked.

"You must locate the legendary silver crystal.  Without it, my resurrection would be impossible," the voice said.

"We have not been able to locate it," Queen Ruby said.

"Only when the seven great youma are revived, together with the rainbow crystals, then the silver crystal will shine bright enough to be found," the voice said.  Meanwhile, Sally, who was wearing a white shirt with light blue sleeves and a heart, was running to school.  Her vest was open, with the brooch pinned to the right side.  As she ran, she suddenly bumped into a thug.

'Oh, I am so sorry," Sally said, only to see two bigger thugs with him.

"Sorry ain't gonna cut it, girlie.  You broke his leg, and you had better pay," one thug said, when the bunny, now dressed in denim pants, cowboy boots, a purple button-down shirt and a brown cowboy-like vest, came in.

"Hey, shuga, she did say she was sorry.  Besides, she barely bumped into him," the rabbit said.

"Hey, doll, you should not put that nose of yours into our business," one thug said as he laid a hand on the rabbit, only to be judo thrown.  The other thug rushed at her, only to get kneed as the injured thug saw her.  Later, Nightrose and Silverclaw met with Queen Ruby.

"You must seek out the seven generals and revive them. If I remember, our enemy banished them to Earth that faithful day," Queen Ruby said.

"How can I find them." Nightrose asked.

"It won't be easy.  They will be reincarnated as normal Mobians, with no memory of being Youma," Silverclaw said.

"Indeed, Silverclaw.  By reviving them, we will find the rainbow crystals, and we need all seven to find the legendary silver crystal," Queen Ruby said, as she got a black crystal to spawn from her crystal ball.

"Use this to locate them.  I have modified it to locate the prescence of the rainbow crystals," Queen Ruby said as the crystal went into Nightrose's hand.  She threw it and it erupted into a tornado, revealing a Mobian nerd.

"So, this is my first target," Nightrose said.  Later, Sally was outside for lunch as she thought about the rabbit who saved her.  Suddenly, she was joined by her.

"Mind if I sit with you, shuga," the rabbit asked.

"Sure," Sally said.  The rabbit sat down and got her lunch out.

"Sorry about earlier.  I hate when people pick on smaller people.  Name's Bunnie.  Bunnie O'Hare.  I transferred here when my Uncle Beauregard got a new job in this city," the rabbit said.

"I see.  I'm Sally Acorn, one of the school's resident nerds," Sally said sheepishly.

"Don't worry, nerds and geeks are okay with me.  Let me share with you some of my home cookin," Bunnie said as the two girls shared their lunch.

"This is good.  My mom could learn something from you," Sally said.

"Really?  That's nice.  I usually do all my own cooking when Uncle Beau and I used to live out in the country.  My ma and pa died when I was a little bun," Bunnie said.  After school, Sally showed Bunnie to the arcade where Nicole, Blaze, and Luna were.

"Hey, Sally, who's your friend," Blaze asked.

"This is Bunnie O'Hare.  Bunnie, this is Blaze, and Nicole, and this little one is Luna," Sally said.  Soon, a wolf who has won big at the plush crane game was heading homw when Nightrose appeared.

"Who are you," the wolf said as he dropped his winnings.

"This will only take a moment," Nightrose said as she used the black crystal to reveal the red rainbow crystal, when suddenly, Bunnie jumped in.

"Hey, what do you think your doing to the poor fella," Bunnie said as she got in front of the wolf.

"Why don't you come and make me," Nightrose said, as Bunnie managed to punch her.  Sally and Luna see this from a bridge above.

"What is Bunnie doing with Nightrose," Sally said.

"Maybe this is what Starwing was warning about," Luna said as the wolf clinged to Bunnie, as she saw the hole in his body where the jewel was.

"Please, save me," the wolf said.  Nightrose decided to finish the job and push Bunnie away and get the red rainbow crystal out, causing Sally to transform into Sally Moon and jump down.

"Hold it right there," Sally Moon yelled.

"Oh my stars, Sally Moon," Bunnie said gasping as the wolf soon transformed into a Youma resembling a robot.

"Well, I got what I wanted, so I'll let him deal with you," Nightrose said as she vanished.  The wolfbot did a pose.

"Gamefang," the Youma said as he got a hammer ready.

"No way.  Removing the rainbow crystal caused that wolf to become a Youma," Sally Moon said as Gamefang got a hammer and started to attack Sally Moon.

"Wait, why does she look like Sally in cosplay?  And sound like her," Bunnie said as she picked up Gamefang.

"Hey, you mutated varmint, that's my heroine you're trying to make into squirrelburger," Bunnie yelled as a number four appeared on her forehead as she threw the Youma into some bushes, until he got up and fired a wire onto Sally Moon's stomach, which also grabbed her arms.  Bunnie was shocked when Luna came with a pen.

"Bunnie, you want to help her, right," Luna asked.

"A talking cat that's not Mobian?  That's something you don't see every day," Bunnie said.

"Take this pen and yell Jupiter Power, Make Up," Luna said as Bunnie picked up the pen.

"Well, if you think it will help her.  Jupiter Power, Make Up," Bunnie yelled.  Soon, her clothes vanished as electrical currents came out of the pen and surrounded her.  When it stopped, Bunnie was now in a sailor guardian uniform like Sally Moon's, only it had a green skirt anc collar with both bow being pink.  The gloves had green bands and the tiara had a green stone, but the most distinct feature was she was wearing green boots raising to her ankles that had white laces tied up.

"Bunnie Jupiter," Bunnie did as she struck a pose.

"Wow, you transformed," Sally Moon said.

"You bet, shuga," Bunnie Jupiter said as she dodged another wire grab.

"Okay, varmint, you want to play rough, then I guess it's time to call on Jupiter, my guardian planet, to bring down the thunder," Bunnie Jupiter said as a lightning rod came out of her tiara and lightning was summoned to strike it.

"Supreme Thunder," Bunnie Jupiter yelled as she launced the lightning stored in the rod, which struck Gamefang and released Sally Moon.

"Oh, man, that was awesome," Sally Moon said.

"Thanks, Sally," Bunnie Jupiter said.

"Wait, you figured it out," Sally Moon asked.

"Don't worry.  You have my honor as a cowgirl that I won't tell anyone," Bunnie Jupiter said.

"Okay, if what Starwing said is right, then the only way to defeat Gamefang is to turn him back into a Mobian," Sally Moon said as she got her Cresent Moon Wand ready.

"Remember, all you have to do is yell Moon Healing Escalation," Luna said.

"Got it.  Moon Healing Escalation," Sally Moon said as she used the Crescent Moon Wand to summon moondust that touched Gamefang, changing him back to his Mobian form.  The wolf yelled out "Refresh" as he turned to normal.  Seeing the two, he bowed to them.

"Oh, man, that was a nightmare," the wolf said as he passed out.

"Bunnie Jupiter, you are the fourth Sailor Guardian, and now that they are united, it is up to you, Sally Moon, to lead them, as the wand is a symbol of the team leader," Luna said.

"I will do just that," Sally said as she looked at her new weapon.  With a new ally, Sally Moon and the other Sailor Guardians will have to stop Nightrose from her plot.
