Chapter Four: As The Fire Raged On.......
********************************
"Bra, what are you doing in the regeneration tank?" Bra opened her eyes and saw a blue version of her mother looking disapprovingly at her. "Woman, can't you see that she was sparring with Kakkarot's brat? Go make me some dinner!" her father shouted at his mother from the doorway. Bulma turned her icy gaze on her husband and all but growled. "Make yourself some damn dinner baka!" she yelled, making her face turned red. Vegeta simply turned his nose up and walked off mumbling in Sayjin. Bulma turned back to her daughter when the beep signaled that she was fully healed. She watched as the blue liquid drained from the tank and left a soaking wet Bra. She didn't even wait until Bra was out to start scolding her. "Bra, how many times have I told you not to spar so seriously with Rei that you end up in the tank? You know she's older then you, that's why she's stronger." Bra grabbed the towel she had left for herself and scrubbed her hair furiously, getting the substance from her hair. "Are you listening to me???" Bulma asked, watching her daughter totally ignore her. Bra simply turned to her and frowned. Bulma shook her head and walked off murmuring about 'teenagers these days'. Wrapping the towel in her hair, she swiped her robe and slipped it on before leaving for her room on the third floor.
Vegeta grabbed a turkey leg and ravaged it. Bulma watched with disgust as both her her husband and son bared their canines and savegely tore into a weeks' worth of food. "Hey" Trunks said in between bites, "I saw Bra in the tanks earlier. She get into another spar with Rei?" Vegeta grunted and inhaled a pot of mash potatoes. "I guess I'll go get the videos from the gravity room after dinner to see what those two are up to." Bulma sighed, using her fork to eat some peas. "They're training! What do you think they were doing?!" Vegeta growled, poking his slacking off son in the ribs. Trunks simply laughed off his embarrassment and continued to stuff his food. Bulma sighed and went to go fetch the tapes.
She sat in front of her vanity
and brushed her marine hair into a bun atop her head. 'It's not fair. I'm
the one who trains my ass off everyday, I'm the one whose father is a prince,
I'm the one who takes kickboxing!' she thought, throwing the brush down
in frustration. Yet, time after time, she got beaten by the little third
class nobody! "I swear, if she wasn't my best friend..."
she growled. She stopped mid thought. Where was this coming from? 'Okay
Bra, stop channeling your father.' She quickly turned away from her
reflection and stepped into her lavishly made up bed, courtesy of her mother.
Too bad she didn't notice the black mist hovering above her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rei snuggled further into her warm blankets, wiping away a loose strand from her face. Something get prickling at her, though, keeping her from dreamland. She made a small noise of discomfort and switched sleeping positions. Nope, still there, but more ardent. Growling in frustration, she threw her covers off furiously and gazed at what was bothering her. Her eyebrows nearly shot right off her face when she saw what it was. Her feet were completely red, glowing and all. "What the hell?" It started to creep up her legs, glowing more fiercely by the millimeter. She forced a yelp of pain down. She figured out why it was glowing. It felt like her body was afire! It was slowly consuming her, up to her waist now, incinerating her brother's boxers as it passed. Her eyes watered with unspoken pain as it reached her chest and arms. Her lips trembled, urging her to scream. She stubbornly bit down, causing her blood to run thick down her smoldering chin, evaporating. She couldn't hold it anymore. A scream ripped through her throat as it passed to her hair.
Chichi sat up startled
out of sleep. "That's Rei!" she shouted to herself. To her left, her husband
slept ignorantly. "Goku! Wake up!!!" she shouted into his ear. Her daughters'
screams hadn't eased, only fueling her fears. She tried again without avail.
Reaching for her last resort, she grabbed her heaviest iron pan from underneath
the bed and lifted it over her head to strike. She kept it there for emergencies,
such as this one. *POW* "Ouch!!!!!!!!!!!!Chichi!!!!!!!!Why'd you hit me
with the pan!!!!!" Goku whined, rubbing his head, but stopped when he heard
Rei's vociferating. Faster then the blink of an eye, he was there to see
what was upsetting his daughter so much. "Agh!" he yelled, shielding his
eyes from the intense illumination of Rei's body. He registered that Goten
was trying to calm her down, but when he reached out to touch her, her
skin seemed to repel him. "What happened?!" he asked his son over her screams.
"I don't know! I came here as soon as I heard her, but she was already
glowing! I can't touch her without getting burned!" Chichi slipped to the
room and cursed herself that she had just had to wax the floors
that afternoon. "What's happening to to her!?" she cried. Goku braced himself
and grabbed his offspring to fly to Dendes' and find out what the hell
was wrong with her. Ignoring the intense third-degree burns he was getting,
he transmissioned them to the awaiting earth guardian. "I felt someone's'
energy skyrocket!" Dende explained, carefully wrapping his arms to take
the young girl from Goku's arms. Rei's screaming had not eased as he had
hoped, but were growing in their intensity. 'She must be burning alive!'
the god thought, taking her the Time and Spirit Room. "Why.." Goku started,
but was cut off. "In case she has a volatile reaction." was the reply.
Goku simply followed and watched the god work. Placing a magical barrier
over his hands, her touched her forehead to use his empathy powers, but
stopped we he felt...a oddly shaped bump. Gently lifting her bangs, he
gasped at his findings. "What? What is it?!" Goku asked impatiently from
his side, looking at what had the god in such a fit. There on her forehead
sat the prominent symbol of mars.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bra tossed and turned in
a fitful sleep. Something wasn't right. It kept nagging at her conscious,
keeping her from a peaceful oblivion. A powerful energy was being emitted
from somewhere. Sitting up, she concentrated and her eyes widened. It was
coming from the Son household, now shooting to the Sanctuary. No doubt
her father and brother felt it as well so she slipped on her bunny slippers
and raced downstairs where they were. "Daddy, did you feel that?" she asked,
looking at her father who was looking in the direction the Son home was
located. "Who is it Father?" Trunks asked, inching closer to the Sayjin
prince. "Quiet boy! It's at the Sanctuary now." he said, still not saying
who it was. Bra dashed up to her room and changed into a blue sweat
suit before going back. "Let's go!" she said, already heading to the door.
Vegeta caught her arm and pulled her back. "You're not going anywhere girl.
I will go alone." he said, glaring a warning to them. "But Daddy!" she
whined, turning on the puppy eyes. Vegeta snorted. he learned a long time
ago not to fall for the pair of goo goo eyes of his little princess. he
looked back up and....No! Argh! The pout. He could never refuse the pout.
"Please Daddy...." she pleaded, her crystalline eyes watering up. Vegeta
turned, trying to resist the pout...."(Sigh) Fine!" he growled. Trunks
grinned and mentally stamped 'Sucker' on his dad's forehead, but the deadly
glare being shot in his direction made him change his mind. "*Ahem* Lead
the way Dad." he said, trying not to get visually incinerated. Vegeta simply
'humphed' and flew out the door, followed by Bra and Trunks.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Serenity's head jerked up
from her history book her mother had forced her to read. An incredible
power was being forged. "Mother!" she cried, throwing her book to the floor.
"I know, I feel it too. Mars has been reborn." Selene answered from her
place. They both looked in awe as the fire that was consuming the young
martin princess invaded their bodies.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"What does it mean?!" Goku
asked, frantic to know what was causing his baby so much agony. Dende shook
his head, clearing his racing head. "T-there's a old prophecy know universaly....It
speaks that there would be the nine in the forth most farthest solar system,
reborn after destruction had befallen them. The most powerful beings in
the cosmos. I-I think...I think that your daughter may be one of
them. Mars." he explained, staring at the child before him.
