Rei Hino had woken up early as usual and was preparing to do her morning chores before going to school. She had just stepped in the courtyard, broom in hand, and stopped, openly gawking at the sight before her.
Some kind of silver blue winged monster made of metal was dancing and bouncing in the temple's sacred grounds. It didn't seem to have noticed her presence. She quickly got back into the house and activated her sailor communicator. Knowing the others were probably asleep at this hour, she sent the preprogrammed call for help Ami had created a while back. Their communicators would do an impression of nasty alarm clocks and they would get her request for assistance and the location of the attack.
Once this was done, she only had to distract the monster until the other senshi arrived "MARS STAR POWER, MAKE... UP !"

Ranma had spent the night near the spot he had fallen out of the sky. The symbiont had kept him warm and it wasn't asif he had never slept outside before. He rose with the sun and decided to do a little training, checking his new limits and abilities. His strength, speed and endurance were all dramatically enhanced, thanks to the symbiont (who was now named the Mercury Armor, it seemed... appropriate). He could fly. When the armor covered him like that, he could shrug off heavy damage and ignore blinding attacks, poisonous gases and disease. The Neko Ken was under control. He could also access some kind of super-soul of ice and generate intense cold and ice at will.
"HALT !" He turned to see who had spoken and saw a girl in a strange uniform (who looked strangely familiar) on the temple's roof, striking a pose which reminded him of Kuno somewhat.
"You monster ! I am Sailor Mars, soldier of Love of Justice ! How dare you soil these sacred grounds with your presence ? In the name of Mars, I'll punish you ! HA !" She jumped and landed a flying kick on the monster's head.
*CRACK !*
"YYEEEOOOOWWWW ! THAT HURTS !!!" Sailor Mars was jumping around, holding her right foot. Ranma and the Mercury Armor sweatdropped.
Who is she ? Some kind of demented figure skater ? asked Ranma.
Negative. Accessing files... Attacker identified as Sailor Senshi Mars. Sailor Mars must have misunderstood us for a Dark Kingdom youma. I recommend correcting her error of judgement
But before Ranma could start talking, Mars launched her attack "BURNING MANDALA !"
Ranma dodged out of the way at such a speed that he left after-images of himself behind. The rings of fire continued on their way and incinerated a tree. She cursed. That thing was quick ! She geared up for another attack then stopped. The monster was in front of the Shrine. If she attacked and missed... Curses ! It's not stupid like the other ones...
Then she spotted the glowing Mercury symbol on the monster's chest "What the...!?"
"Hey ! Sailor Mars, right ? This is a big misunderstanding ! I'm not your enemy !" Ranma breathed in relief. That Mars chick had stopped trying to incinerate him Now perhaps he could talk his way out of this with Mercury Armor's help...
"Heralded by the new age, I am Sailor Uranus ! WORLD SHAKING !"
"Also heralded by the new age, I am Sailor Neptune ! DEEP SUBMERGE !"
Or not... Ranma took flight to dodge the energy blasts the new girls sent at him. He and Mercury Armor searched for a way to stop this before it got out of hand.
