Rei went over the list of items she needed for resurrecting the guardian spiritual beast. Her list was three pages long because she would also need to make some potions in order to control the beast. Rei then handed out the three sheets of paper to Makoto, Goten and Gohan. Those three would be gathering the items she needed.

Rei opened up her book on Spirits and Gods and turned to the chapter on the guardian spiritual beast and to the prayer section. She then began to memorize the prayer she would need to recite in resurrecting the beast and various hand movements she would perform. Chi-chi entered the room in which Rei was studying. Dark brown circles stood under her eyes. Ever since she heard the news about what happened to Usagi, Chi-chi hadn't gotten any sleep. Bulma had offered her some sleeping pills but Chi-chi refused them.

"Rei, would you like some hot tea?" Chi-chi offered.

Rei looked up and smiled. "I would love some Chi-chi san, and I also need a break from all this studying."

Chi-chi left the room to make the tea.


Trunks and Usagi got in a defensive stance in order to try and defeat the Death Phantom. Both of them knew that this would not be an easy out battle. From the last encounter Usagi had with the Death Phantom, Usagi and Trunks knew the horrible power he possessed.

Trunks cupped his hands together and prepared for one of the more common attacks. "Kamehameha!"

A large burst of ki energy blasted towards the Death Phantom. Once it made contact blinding light exploded all over. For almost a minute Trunks could not see anything due to the fact he had to keep his eyes tightly closed. Once all the light died down he heard a faint scream.

"Ah! Let go of me!" a feminine voice cried.

Trunks opened his eyes and saw that the Death Phantom had Usagi by the neck. A tight grip seemed to cut off her air supply as she tried to fight for oxygen. Trunks let out a frightened gasp and the Death Phantom turned his attention towards him.

"Finally I'll soon have what I have been wanting for a long time!" The Death Phantom laughed. "Once I absorb this Lunarians energy, I will soon do the same to you and I will be the most powerful being in the universe! It has been so much help that you both brought yourselves to me."

Trunks silently cursed as he realized that the situation looked almost hopeless.


Gohan and Goten arrived back to Kami Island with most of the items Rei would need. Makoto arrived a little later with her end of the list. Rei approached the three and began to check over all the items they had brought to make sure they had the right ones and to make sure that they had all of the requirements. Once she was satisfied Rei made an announcement.

"I need someone to help me make some potions." Rei stated.

Upon hearing this, Marron immediately volunteered. "I'll help!" Loosing one of her close friends and possibly two more was almost unbearable for her.

Rei took her into the kitchen of the Kame house and set of few of the items that had been collected for her on the counter. Then she began to group them in to separate sections for which one would be used for which potion. Rei separated the herbs into a couple different groups. Then she gave Marron directions for cutting them up and which sizes they needed to be.

After a long day of work Rei and Marron finally finished. Three sets of potion were made. It was time to prepare the birth site. Since they needed a big area Rei took the remaining Z fighters which included Goku, Gohan, Videl, Goten, Juuhachi, Krillin, Marron, Makoto, and Vegeta who came expecting to get a worthy fight out of Citrine. Bulma came also incase she was needed. She took them out to a desolate desert on the mainland. Rei pulled a map of plans showing the directions for preparing the altar. Rei pointed to the to a shape that looked exactly like the Jewish Star of David.

"I need you guys to draw this in the sand." Rei began pointing towards Goten, Videl, Goku, and Krillin. "The size must be exactly 12 1/2 feet across. Bulma, since you're the smartest here, you'll need to measure it to make sure it's the correct length."

Rei then eyed Marron, Gohan, and Makoto. "I need you three to collect at least 10,000 red pebbles. They must be naturally red, no painting any."

The three people Rei had just addressed looked at her like she was crazy.

"10,000 red pebbles!" Makoto repeated in shock. "Who ever heard of those?"

"This is what the altar requires, with out them we won't be able to raise the beast." Rei replied.

The three left for their task grumbling.

Rei sighed and looked at Juuhachi. "Juuhachi, you and I will be making some anti evil scripts. These may seem unimportant but they need to be made."

Juuhachi nodded and the two got to work.

Rei purposely skipped giving Vegeta something to do because she knew that he was only here so he could get his chance at battling Citrine.


Trunks cursed and put a tight grip on his hand. He had just made an attempt to grab the Death Phantom's arm and pull it off of Usagi. But just at the slightest hold on his arm and Trunks's hand felt as if were going to freeze off. If it was that painful just by the touch, he couldn't imagine how Usagi felt with his hold on her neck for that long of a time. Trunks wasn't going to concentrate on killing the Death Phantom just yet. Rather he was going to try to get his hold off of Usagi because he couldn't imagine the torture she was going through. He knew it was pretty bad with the way Usagi was cringing and moaning in pain.

Trunks thought about the way to at least set Usagi free. If there was only away to cancel out the below zero degrees skin. The only way he thought could possibly do it was his ki energy. If he could heat it up to a hot enough temperature. Trunks began to form a ball of ki in his palm. Keeping it to a small size Trunks began to raise the ki's temperature. Once the seemed hot enough due to the fact that it felt like it was about to burn Trunks's skin he made his move.

Making his way towards the Death Phantom Trunks extended his arm outward. The Death Phantom was almost oblivious to what Trunks was about to do. To him, it looked more like Trunks was going to make another grab at his arm and receive the same results. What he didn't see was the burning hot ball of ki Trunks brought with him. Trunks made another grab for the Death Phantom's arm but this time it wasn't so cold because of the burning ki ball. The Death Phantom was shocked by this and tried to knock Trunks off. Trunks with an angry glare in his eyes, began to twist the Death Phantoms arm turning Usagi with it. A cracking sound was made and the arm came apart and corroded away.

Usagi fell to the ground with a thud breathing heavily. She had long since reverted back to her regular self so incase the Death Phantom had tried to suck her energy he wouldn't have gotten as much if she were Super Lunarian. Red finger splotches marker where the Death Phantom had his grip on her. A the slightest touch they would start burning painful enough to knock a person out.

It was now time to resurrect the Guardian Spiritual Beast. Everything was in its place and the altar was ready. The 10,000 pebbles Rei had ordered were all dumped in a large perfect circle around the star altar. Large torches were set up on the inner corners of the star that formed a square. Rei set a fire in each of them. The anti evil scrolls 18 and Rei made were dropped into them and the flames from the fires turned purple. Rei put Gohan at the top corner of the star and gave him a palm branch to hold. Marron stood on the top right corner holding a basket of fruit straight up. Rei explained that it would be a gift to the beast. Juuhachi was in the top left corner holding staffs with two bells on top of each. When Rei finished the prayer she was to recite Juuhachi would slam both the staffs to the ground and make the bells ring. Bulma stood in the bottom left corner holding up dove wings. Videl was the bottom right corner holding two golden ram horns. Krillin stood at the very bottom holding two small candles. Rei would kneel in the middle and recite the prayer.

The three potions were used two. The first one was poured all over the altar to open the portal for the beast. Another was given to the warriors who were holding sacred objects to protect them. The last was given to Rei to drink giving her the power to control the beast.

The timing couldn't have been anymore perfect. By the time everyone got into their places Citrine showed up from the sky. The site of the altar didn't please her too much. Citrine took an immediate dive for the alter intending to destroy it but she never made. Vegeta cut her off. Citrine still managed to send a wave of energy and knocked some of the red pebbles from their perfect circle.

Vegeta and Citrine went into an intense routine of constant punches and kicks. Citrine was unusually sloppy while battling with Vegeta mainly because most of her concentration was on the altar.

At the site of the pebbles being knocked out of the place, Rei's expression went immediately to horror. She eyed Goten, Goku, and Makoto who weren't given a part on the altar.

"Hey! Hurry up and fix that!" Rei ordered. "The rest of us can't because I already binded us to the altar!"

Goten and Makoto scrambled over to where the pebbles were misplaced and began to set them back up.

"They have to be perfect or this won't work!" Rei scolded seeing their mistakes.

Makoto and Goten groaned and began to put the pebbles down more slowly till they were certain that they were perfect.

Rei closed her eyes once Makoto and Goten finished. "Guardian Mars of fire and passion..." Rei began the prayer.

Citrine took an immediate hearing of the prayer Rei was reciting and broke away from her fight with Vegeta and sped off downwards angled towards the altar. At the speed she was going Citrine could almost not see in front of her.

Rei tried to remain calm in going on with her prayer, which was not very easy seeing the speed Citrine was coming in at. She could only hope that she would finish in time.

As Citrine neared Rei she felt herself pound into something. Getting her concentration back she saw that it was an older teenager with long black hair to his shoulders.

Juuhachi looked up and got the first look of the newcomer. "Juunana? What took you so long?"

Juunana eyed her. "I felt a strong power level from this area."

Citrine glared at Juunana ready to attack him.

"Ascend Guardian Spiritual Beast!" Rei finished her prayer. The star altar began to glow in a white light. The 10,000 pebbles began to levitate. Soon the area was engulfed in an inferno white light blinding everyone. A large beast with the head of a wolf, body of a lion and tail of a dragon emerged from the altar. It was exactly 11 feet across and nine feet tall. Red eyes seemed to burn its way into Citrine's evil soul.

Citrine backed away from Juunana fear dominating her emotions and attempted to defend herself from the beast. The beast's large jaws opened up and breathed a large mass of fire completely engulfing Citrine. As Citrine burned in mortal hell the beast made it's way over to her. It's jaws opened once again and were closed around Citrine. Slamming them closed, Citrine was bitten in half. The beast them completely devoured the rest of her remains. The evil demon from the opposite world was now stripped from her reign of terror.

Once the blinding light died down there was no sign of Citrine or the Guardian spiritual beast. The altar that was once drawn in the desert had disappeared along with the objects every one once held.

Usagi knew that she was in no shape to fight the Death Phantom with the wounds she was experiencing. Trunks seemed to barely be holding out on his own. Usagi watched as he cupped his hands together. Trunks was most likely to try another Kamehameha wave and Usagi knew it wouldn't work this time either, Trunks would definitely need more power. Words that she once heard from Minako entered her mind and an option was available. It was a large sacrifice though and Usagi had to stick to her decision. Very carefully Usagi prowled in her mind to the very center of her personal space till she felt something that felt like a very weak plastic bag full of water. Inside contained a vast amount of power and the very slight touch of it sent an uncomfortable chill through her body. She then eyed Trunks.

"I'm sorry Trunks," She apologized silently and reverted back to Super Lunarian. She took careful aim and heard Trunks start the words of his attack. Usagi then released what she held so dear, her soul. It was like opening a box of chaos as the out side of her soul split. Much needed power entered Trunks's nerves powering up his Ki blast. Trunks felt the chaotic ki enter him and knew it had come from Usagi.

"Kamehameha!" Trunks cried louder that he ever had. The ki blast aimed directly at the Death Phantom and charged with a blinding pace. The Death Phantom had no time to react as the large amount of power slammed into him tearing through his body and ripping him to shreds.

As everything died down Trunks turned around and eyed Usagi. His body went numb as he saw the blank look in her eyes and understood what she had done. A portal to the out side world opened in front of them. Trunks picked up Usagi ready to return to the out side world.
