Dreams of Destiny
Chapter 5
A darkness, a darkness so evil that Rei could barely stand it. It was near, inside of her being, trying to bring her down and learn her secret. She felt an empty hollow feeling inside the darkness. She couldn't scream or yell or get away from that feeling that seemed to become her. It kept probing around within her, but Rei knew she could try to fight back. She pushed hard within her mind, trying to get it out. She saw a white light flash, then her normal surrounds were seen. The small Shinto shrine sat in it's usual spot, the cherry blossom trees swaying in the wind, a few birds singing in the distance. But Rei knew it wasn't real, the evil presents still was inside her, still trying to get at her. Behind a side of the shrine stood a shadow of a man. Rei felt most of the evil coming from him.
You are as strong as you are beautiful. The shadow said.
Who are you! Why are you doing this to me! Rei yelled. The sky of the artificial temple turned dark, and a large moon came into the sky. The silver light cut through the shadows of the shrine to where the man stood. Rei gasped at the sight of him. His hair was short and black, his build was familiar, unlike his eyes which were a deep green. He looks just like Darien except for the eyes.' Rei thought
I chose these surroundings and this human for to make this a little more comfortable for you. I know you had a thing with this human form in the past, so I thought maybe it would comfort you. The voice had changed into Darien's voice. But you are to smart to believe this trick, I can tell.
Who are you really? Rei asked. You have a great deal of evil energy.
We call ourselves Akutenshi, but my name is Daimyo. Darien bowed in respect.
Well Daimyo, please change into your true self, this human form isn't very comforting. Rei said angrily
As you wish. He smiled. The moon's silver light withdrew from Daimyo and the dark shadow appeared once more. The moon light trickled back down onto him again showing a new man. He had light brown hair that was cut as short as Darien's. He had the same deep green eyes from before and a light complexion. He also wore a generals uniform. Rei gasped. His outfit....it's the uniforms of Queen Berals army.'
Yes, we were very limited in fashion when we lived behind the Negaverse. Things were very interesting then, we only got small amounts of information from links in the Negaverse. Daimyo calmly said. Rei felt a small movement within her mind.
Stop what you are doing to me! Now! Rei yelled.
Yes, I was right. Daimyo said. You have a very strong mind for such a young woman. You are quite amazing.
You won't find anything, I won't allow you to. You may have gotten this far, but you aren't getting any farther. Rei said sternly.
Quite amazing indeed. Daimyo repeated crossing his arms in amazement. But what will you do if I don't stop? You are very interesting, I would love to know more about you. Rei had no idea what she could do, she wondered if she could fight within your own mind. She reached inside one of her pockets of her temple clothing to feel her transformation stick was there. Amazingly it was. You must have automatically copied me from the real world.' Rei thought.
Do you know why I did that? Daimyo asked. Because I haven't had a decent fight in quite a while, and I thought it might be fun. He smiled, Sailor Mars. Rei was caught off guard. He has gone that far in my mind already?'
Whoever wins gets control of my mind I am guessing. Rei said.
Of coarse, if I win, you won't fight back and you will let me find out your secrets. Daimyo said.
And if I win, you will leave my mind and never come back. Rei said.
Daimyo laughed. You seem way more interesting then that other guy. That guy with he long ratty brown hair raking with you.
You won't lay a finger on him! Rei yelled.
Don't worry I won't, but you both seem to have a large amount of power within you. If I hadn't felt that power I would have over looked you.
Power? What kind of power? Rei asked.
Power I haven't seen since the Silver Millennium. It was deep within you two though. That's why I thought you might be a royalty. Daimyo said.
Rei asked him. She needed to get him away from her thoughts, if he got far enough in her mind all the others scouts would be in danger. Chad? Why would he have power?'
Don't act like you don't know about our plan, somehow you already know that. And I have no idea about that other guy having the same power as you do. Daimyo said.
Well, if we are going to fight we should start now. I haven't had a decent fight in a while either. Rei said is she pulled out her transformation stick.
As you wish. Daimyo said as he raised his hands in the air. The night that had surrounded them turned to day and the land they had been on changed into a large open lot. Let's begin.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chad grew more frantic as time went by. Rei's still body lied in his arms, holding no life. Tears kept streaming down his face, and landing on her long raven hair. No! No! This can't be true! This is all just a horrible dream that I'm going to wake up from!' Chad yelled inside his mind. But the dream didn't stop, his beauty still lied dead.
Please! Somebody! Anybody! Please help!! Chad's voice echoed through the empty temple. He knew yelling was in vain, there wasn't going to be anyone around until tomorrow. He thought about the phone, but couldn't leave her frail body. He could never do that. He pulled some raven hair out of her face. He smiled with tears still streaming down his face. She still looks beautiful, dead.' But the smile was quickly wiped away and replaced with more tears.
Please! Anyone! Please Help!! He yelled with all his might.
Don't worry, she isn't dead. A voice echoed through he temple lot. Chad looked up to see two silhouettes in front of the early afternoon sun. He couldn't focus on them, so he put his hands in front of his eyes.
Who are you? Chad asked. He still felt protective of Rei, as he lied her down behind him in a small pile of cherry blossoms. He stood between the two people and his girl.
We are here to help you Chad. said the second voice. They jumped off the roof a few feet in front of Chad. He gasped as he saw the owners of the voices. They were sort of in Sailor Scout uniform, that he had seen before. One of the girls had black hair tied back in a ponytail. She had deep blue eyes that seemed to look right through him. Her uniform was green with dark blue accents. The other girl had black hair, kind of like Rei's friend Usagi, just shorter. She had dark blue eyes and wore a uniform that was a maroon color with a second color of yellow. The main difference from the scouts he had seen was that the new scouts had only a brooch in front not a large bow.
It's all right, Rei isn't dead. The girl in the green uniform repeated. Chad thought about it. I have heard that voice before.' I am Sailor Earth. The Sailor Scout said as she bowed.
And I am Sailor Pularous. The other girl said. Chad didn't think much of them as she went back to Rei's side. A couple of cherry blossoms had blown on to her.
So you said she isn't dead? Can you help her? Chad said desperately, still looking down at his love.
We can't do anything, but hope and wait. Sailor Earth said sadly.
What! You said you could help! Chad said angrily.
She is fighting an evil within her mind. So she isn't really dead, but she isn't out of danger yet. Sailor Earth kindly said.
Could it be? Is this what those two Royals were talking about?' Chad thought. An evil? Chad yelled. What does it want with Rei?
This evil looks for people that could be royals in their past lives, but you already knew that. Sailor Earth smiled.
How did you kn-
It doesn't matter, we should get her comfortable if she wakes up. Sailor Earth said as she started to walk towards Rei's body.
Chad still stood between Sailor Earth and his raven hair beauty.
If she is powerful enough to win this fight. If she isn't I'm am not sure what we can do. Sailor Earth looked at Chad. But don't worry, Rei is a very strong person.
Come on, you can trust us. Sailor Pularous said from behind Sailor Earth. Chad went down beside Rei's limp body and picked her up in his arms. A few cherry blossoms clung to her raven locks as it cascaded past Chad's waist. Chad shed another tear and started to walk towards the temple. Sailor Pularous looked up at Sailor Earth.
Isn't it cute? If only Rei knew what he was going through for her. Sailor Pularous said still looking at Chad.
She'll know, once she wakes up. But we should be hoping she does. If the Akutenshi find that Rei is a royal not only will Rei be in danger, but Chad and the rest of the scouts. Sailor Earth said sadly as she watched Chad carry his love into the shrine.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mars Star Power! Rings of fire came from her transformation stick and engulfed Rei, transforming her into the senshi of fire, Sailor Mars. She did a pose and at the end faced Daimyo.
Don't think I will go easy on you because you are such a beautiful girl. Daimyo said. If I am correct you should be very powerful, a very worth opponent.
I don't want you to go easy on me, I just want you to be fair. Sailor Mars said cocky.
Al right, but remember Mars, we are fighting within your mind. You do have the upper hand, but one false move could destroy yourself. Daimyo said as he put his hands in the air.
Okibo Power! A large ball of flames came from his hands as he yelled.
Burning Mandala! Rings of fire flew from her hands also as she yelled. Both flame attacks came together in a bright burst of fire throwing them both to the ground. Mars stayed down as Daimyo got up. He ran quickly and silently towards her pulling out a large gleaming sword. She looked up knowing she couldn't counter his attack in time. What should I do now? Sailor Mars thought.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chad continued to carry Rei's body to the temple and Sailor Earth and Sailor Pularous followed. He couldn't believe he would see the day when he was going to have to carry Rei dead. It crushed him inside, hoping the scouts were telling the truth, that there is a chance she isn't dead and that an evil is within her could be kill. Chad began to walk through the front door. Rei means so much to me, she is the only reason I wake up every morning. She has to win this fight.' He walked though Rei's bedroom door and placed Rei on her bed. He put her hands on her sides and brushed her beautiful raven locks out of her face. One blossom had found it's way on her hair. The two scouts stayed outside of the door. In a flash Chad felt a surge of power coarse though his veins.
Did you guys feel that? Chad asked as he looked over at the scouts.
asked Sailor Pularous. Rei must have transformed.' Sailor Earth thought.
Chad, have you ever felt that feeling before? Sailor Earth asked.
A few times, come to think of it. Chad looked away from the senshi and down at Rei. I only felt this feeling when you are around me, and I was out cold trying to save you. You must have something to do with it.'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Please someone help!' Sailor Mars yelled in her mind. The few seconds that hung around her seemed to slow to a crawl as Daimyo was almost right in front of her, and getting closer. If I lose this fight, I lose everything!' She closed her eyes. Please somebody help me!'
Chad heard a voice echoing though his mind. They were asking for help, but the voice was familiar. It's Rei.' Chad thought. He wasn't sure what he could do but he had to help her somehow. He grabbed her hand and closed his eyes. Whatever I can do, please take whatever you can from me!' Chad yelled out though his mind to where the voice was heard.
Mars felt a presents answering her back tell her they could help. Whoever it was had a large amount of power. She had only seconds before she would lost this fight.
Planet Mars please give me strength! Take my power and the power of the unknown source and destroy my enemy! Daimyo was already on top of her, with his sword in her flesh as she screamed the words. A bright flash of red came from the sign of Mars on her forehead.
Chad felt Rei as he told her she could use whatever he had to help her with. But for that hanging second he felt nothing. Then a scream of power was heard though his mind and a large amount of power was being taken from him. He felt a power drain out of him and into Rei, a power he never knew he had, or could even imagine. He wanted to stop giving it, it was becoming very painful, but to him Rei was worth it.
A huge amount of power was being taken from her and an almost equal amount was taken from the source that was helping her. Both powers seemed to intertwine, strengthening each other as it poured out of her royal sign of Mars. Daimyo screamed and dropped his sword. The field that they had been fighting in disappeared to darkness, but still the power of Mars brightened it. The power seemed to come from a place she never knew she had. Daimyo dropped to his knees and screamed a blood curtailing scream. He looked like he was in a lot of pain as the red light kept sweeping through him. His body went limp and disappeared, and the light stopped. She was alone again within her mind, but it felt as if she was still dying. The power that had been used was very great.
Chad kept letting the unbelievable power leave him. The pain was amazing, it cut though him deeply. Sailor Earth and Sailor Pularous looked at him, he had his hands on Rei's limp hand and had his eyes closed. but he showed no movement, no breathing.
What is going on Sailor Earth? Sailor Pularous asked. Sailor Earth had her eyes close also.
I am not sure, I feel a great deal of power. I haven't felt this kind of power since the Silver Millennium. Sailor Earth said slowly, not really all in her physical body.
All the power and pain stopped, but he didn't feel Rei's presents anymore. Where are you?' Chad tried to yell in the dark void. He felt a very small amount of life in the corner of the darkness. Whatever it was he couldn't get to it, the force was to small. Please, you must make it back to us. We need you Rei, I need you.' Chad tried to yell, but he was thrown back into his body.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rei had become herself once more, with no spark of Sailor Mars anywhere. She was drifting within herself. She felt like she was almost dead, only a thin string of life still holding her to this plan of life. All that power that had gone through her body was to much, even for her. A normal human would have been shattered to pieces with just a small amount flowing through them. But she wasn't a normal human. She felt a presents of someone moving closer to her. She tried to look through the darkness but she couldn't move. She could see a shadow, it was a man, a man that reminded her of someone. Then it hit her, It is the man from my dream.' He wore a red tuxedo and a top hat. He had a white mask covering his eyes, yet they still pierced though her in the darkness. He was still far away, but close enough for Rei to see him, and hear his strong voice.
Please, you must make it back to us. We need you Rei, I need you. The man said. But he disappeared right after him talking to her. Rei was once again alone by herself, within herself. Should I even try to make it though? It would be so much easier just to die here, with no more pain in my life, no more problems. But is this what destiny really wants for me?' Rei winced as the place Daimyo's sword had gone into her throbbed in pain. What would happen to the people I love if I died? Who would even care.' A flash of thought shot though her.
But what about Grandpa, what would he do if he came back and found out that I died while he was gone, he would never forgive himself. I could never forgive myself if that happened. And what about Chad? He was right next to me when I fell. I hope he isn't to worried about me.' She thought about him. He has been so good to me, even when I treat him so badly. And my Princess, I can't die without doing what I told her I would do, protect her with my life. And she would get really mad at me.' A smile spread across her face. And what about that man that keeps coming in my thoughts. I can't die without finding out who he really is, and knowing my past with him.' Her eyes begin to tear up. I guess I can't die yet, not until I am destined to, and the ones I love know completely how much I really love them.' She lightly smiled once more as a tear rolled down her cheek and into the dark abyss of her mind.
The darkness she existed in brightened to a light red all around her. Her arms and legs were held strait by a clear force that seemed to be strengthening her. Rei had no idea what was happening, but she didn't care as long as she was getting stronger. The wound she had gotten from Daimyo disappeared and healed. Once she felt she was back to her own strength she tried to get away from the force, but it wouldn't let her. It kept feeding her more energy and more power. A voice was heard through her mind.
Princess, do not close your mind to all the visions and signs that have been shown to you. Keep an open mind and remember you have more power to gather. I am giving you a little of that power, so you will crave for more of it. Don't forget to find the one that will complete your power, keep your mind open to all possibilities. The voice disappeared and the force that had held on to her let go. I have never felt so much power within me before. It is amazing! Rei thought. Her mind went back to her original thoughts. I guess I should be getting back to my body now. I hope Chad isn't to worried about me, he cares so much about me. She smiled.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chad opened his eyes after going through his mind, and what seemed to be Rei's mind also. He was hoping that his message had been heard by Rei, were ever she had been in that void he had gone to. He didn't want to lose her. That power I felt, it was amazing. I have never felt such power. I never knew power like that was in my to start with!' Chad thought. Sailor Earth and Sailor Pularous still were standing outside of the door. Sailor Earth's eyes opened once again, and a smirk spread across her face.
Rei is going to be just fine. She will be waking up very soon. Sailor Earth said. Sailor Pularous just looked up at her partner strangely. Chad looked up at her.
Thank you. was all he could think to say.
No prob! Sailor Pularous said as they both left the temple.
Chad looked down at Rei's body. He had so much hope that Sailor Earth was right, and that she would hold life once again. A movement was felt through Rei as Chad held her limp hand. He gasped as her heart begin to start beating again and her breathing started once more. Chad couldn't believe what was going on as Rei's color grew back to the way it was and her hand held Chad's hand tightly. When Rei's eyes opened, they sparkled with a new intensity. A small smile spread across her face.
Sorry Chad, I hope you weren't to worried about me. Rei said. She looked around to see she was in her own room, and noticed his hand was in hers. She squeezed it, and smiled slightly noticing a faint tear streak down his face.
Thank you Chad. was all Rei could think to say.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Halfway across the universe a dark shadow sat upon a large throne of gold. His stature made him look 10 times bigger then the small human armies that lied at his feet bellow the stage like area where he sat. A dark ripple appeared a few feet in front of the King. Daimyo appeared, beaten and near death. The King stood up from his throne.
Daimyo! What happened? The King's features still in the shadows.
My Lord Akujin..... Daimyo said gasping for breath. I went to scout out Japan as you had requested. He paused once more, trying to keep a respectable amount of anger out of his voice, his body aching in pain.
But what happened to you. Akujin asked. Daimyo couldn't think straight. He gasped for air. Please stay alive, you are the strongest general I have, I must have you here for my most powerful attack! Akujin said. Daimyo tried to steady his breath.
The scouts, I found one of them. The Senshi of fire, she was very strong. I barely made it out alive... Daimyo gasped. His mind clouded up and he blacked out in front of Akujin. The King waved his hand, and the people around him took Daimyo away. Akujin sat back on his throne and put his hands on his head.
I didn't think we would find them so soon, let alone go in one of their minds yet, we aren't strong enough yet. We must be at full power. He breathed deeply and pounded his fists on the sides of his throne. Doing this to Daimyo will have server punishments! I will not let them do it again, that senshi is going to pay for hurting my son! He put his hands back on the sides of his throne and blended back into the shadows of this kingdom.
