1 Part Three

2 Mar's Princess…

"Earth, Wind, Fire!" The voice rang clear repeating the same three words over and over again. "Earth, Wind, Fire!" There came into it a pleading sound, finally she got her answer.

"…Daughter…"

Rae kept her head down as she heard the words. "I am here!" She felt the heat of the fire glow before her face, but her eyes remained closed as she concentrated.

"…I will send some one to protect you…" Came the mysterious voice.

Rae gasped inwardly, she had her mind on love since the Princess of the Moon's engagement.

"After you are dead…" The voice finished.

Rae saw an image of her and her friends dieing. "After I'm dead?" She asked. With that the fire suddenly flared up, scorching the ends of her long hair, then as suddenly it went out.

The visions remained with Rae. The dark haired princess of Mars was clad in a sailor suit, like one of the legendary sailor Senshi; she looked over to see Princess Serenity in Endymon's arms. They were both dead, run through with a sword. She turned away from them only to see both Ami and Lita get destroyed. Next was Mina, lastly she saw black and knew what it meant. She wasn't going to be spared.

Chad, an attendant popped his head into the room where Rae was meditating. "Hey Rae" He said blushing as he saw the girl who he had a 902 year crush on.

Rae flew around angry with him for disturbing her. "What do you want now?" She asked him. He frowned slightly, upset by her outburst. Like it didn't happen ever day, but today was worse. Rae sensed his anxiety. "Sorry Chad. I just had some disturbing visions." She looked down upset.

Chad suddenly felt guilty for disturbing her; maybe she did have a reason to be upset. "No I'm sorry Rae." He said.

She momentarily wondered if she should tell him, then decided against it. Chad was all right, but she didn't really want to tell him what she had just seen. "Can you leave me alone for a moment please?"

"Yeah sure." He said. "Do you need anything?"

"Privacy." She snapped. "Sorry." She immediately apologized.

Chad took the hint and left.

"After I'm dead?" Rae whispered to herself. "What on the Moon kingdom is that supposed to mean?" The visions came back. "Could it be- could it be I wasn't meant to be a princess, but…"

"Rae!" A voice called outside the door.

It sounded like Mina. "Come in." Rae said.

Mina popped her head in. "We think you're going to be chosen as the sailor Senshi of fire, Sailor Mars."

"What!" Rae shrieked.

Lita nodded. "That's right. We don't know for sure, but we think you might be chosen."

"Its just an assumption." Ami tried to correct them. "Its not like we even know for sure if new scouts are going to be chosen…"

"Ah come off it!" Lita said as she slightly slapped Ami's shoulder.

"Yeah!" Mina finished. "It's got to be true. You've been having vibes, right?" She asked Rae who hadn't spoken since her last outburst.



Trista looked at Rae across the table. "What your friends say is right. You have been chosen to be Sailor Mars." Rae looked up surprised. "Yes. Your dreams have not deceived you. What you saw will come to pass, but don't give up hope quite yet."

"Then the kingdom is destined for destruction." Rae said angrily.

"Maybe there is a better and brighter future for you and your friends."

Rae sighed. "But what about the Moon kingdom?"

Endymon is of Earth; Serenity will belong with her husband. They have much to do before they though."



"I just don't understand." Rae explained to Ami later that evening. "I am to be the Sailor Senshi of Mars, but what can I do? I have no training, I'm useless."

"That's not true." Ami replied trying to cheer her friend up. "Trista wouldn't have suggested her to the queen if you hadn't been important in the future. Who knows what could happen?"

Rae shook her head. Her problem was that she did know what could happen.
