trial by fire3 Wow, third chapter already! I've just been so into it, you know? I know I said that the fight scene would be short, but I got too involved. Hope you didn't mind. I didn't want any confusion, so when Chaos said that she would do nicely as a vessel, I meant Bra, not Rei. I was just re-reading that and noticed I wasn't too clear. I again say that I haven't read the Sailor Stars series, so I'm basing this on how I think it might go.

Disclaimer: read the other chapter, I'm tired of writing the same damn thin over and over again. I got tired of beating a dead dog.

Trial By Fire: The Martian Princess Chronicles

Chapter Three: Never Forget The Good Times....Or The Bad.....
*****************************************************

Rei changed out of her denim shorts and black tank into a long white silk robe. She had bought it not too long ago for the occasion. Moving to her window, she made sure her younger brother wasn't there to catch her flying out. When she was four, Gohan had married Videl, daughter of Hercule Satan, and moved closer to the city. They had a daughter, Pan, and every now and then come over for dinner and what not. Rei loved her little niece, but sometimes she could drive her crazy! She hoped that when she was ten years old, she wasn't that nosey or annoying. Flying slowly to her destination, she looked down over the city and saw millions of lights, making the stars very hard to see. She was close, she could feel it. Ever since she turned fifteen, every night, this sacred place would call her. Yes, there it is. It was totally serene, no animal life anywhere, only cherry blossoms everywhere. What was always so strange to her was that in the center of the Cherry forest, as she called it, there was a small temple with a huge fire inside, always burning no matter what day it was. The fire swayed a bit as she gently stepped down and walked closer to the fire. There were strange symbols on the base that contained the fire. This temple wasn't built anytime soon, she could tell that. There were cracks everywhere and had ancient architecture encrypted into its design. The symbols were old, older then any language used in the world today. These were religious symbols. How she knew that, she would never know. As she stepped closer to the fire and sat respectfully, she felt the familiar flow of energy that settled into her body. ever since she had started coming there, the pure energy would overcome her and fill her so completely. It scared her sometimes. She had no idea where this power came from or why it chose her. She closed her eyes and felt the words come to her tongue. Thrusting her arms out, she began to make symbols with her hands and chant to them. "Hestna par par koae sinda kelmata. Sol! Luna! Terra! Sol! Luna! Terra!" she spoke, not knowing but understanding what it meant. She was thanking the three gods that kept watch over the earth and wishing them more power. The Sun, the Moon, and the Earth itself. The fire roared, drowning out her prayers, causing her to shout her chants. "Sol! Luna! Terra! Sol! Luna!Terra! Ke ke antua soba. Sol! Luna! Terra!" she shouted, letting the force overwhelm her! Suddenly, the fire dove into her, filling her body and soul with power, more power then she had ever felt before. But it wasn't power. It was life! Finally, everything stopped, and it was silent again. She felt the energy leave her, but not the life. That was there to stay.

She flew back home at a quarter to 11:00. Good, she had barely made curfew. Slipping out of her robe, she replaced them with the boxers and shirt she had swiped from her bother a while ago. She silently tucked her self in and clicked out the light. On the other side of the house, a piercing scream awoke Goku, Chichi and Goten.
