A Woman's Shattered Dreams
Chapter 4: Rei's found out...her near death and discovery
"The androids are attacking!" Vegeta yelled ready to leave. Miari Trunks followed suit with his father to fight. Bulma and Rei came along even though Rei and Vegeta had a HUGE argument on the way there. "Wait a minute that's not androids those are dream leamures!" Rei yelled seeing the huge black orbs of dream eaters. "Dream leamures?" Vegeta asked. "They try to take the light of dream of pure hearted people and use it to make their leader stronger." Rei said. "And who is their leader?" Vegeta asked. "Queen Nephrenia." Rei said sensing her. "That's who's in charge?" Miari Trunks asked not sensing anything. "No, she's here." Rei said with rage in her voice. "HAHAHAHAHA!!! You senshi are powerless without your hime so give up and show yourselves or I'll kill all of Earth's people." Nephrenia's shrill voice shrieked through West City. "How dare they treat Earth's people as hostages." Bulma said with rage in her voice. "Mistress I've found Mars." A voice sounding familiar said to the dead moon queen.
"Rei you better have your power suppressed." Bulma said in Latin. "I have it suppressed...what about you?" Rei asked in a whisper. "I have mine suppressed." Bulma said. Vegeta got in front of his wife and her friend in defense. "Men will be men." Rei sighed while glaring at the dead moon queen. "Oh.I see you are staring at me Mars." Nephrenia said in telepathy to Rei. Rei gasped. "What is it?" Bulma asked. "She's spotted Mars." Rei said with fear. "This is great." Bulma said bluntly. Miari Trunks looked at Rei for a moment and noticed a hidden energy in her. "DIE MARS!!!" Nephrenia yelled making huge pieces of earth hurl towards Rei. "Lookout!" Miari Trunks yelled while taking his sword to slice the chunks of earth in half. Rei covered her head and her shield formed around her and not on her command. Vegeta and Miari Trunks were wide eyed to see the shield form around Rei. "Rei-chan!!" Bulma yelled until the shield came up. Rei's insignia appeared for a brief moment but long enough for Vegeta and Miari Trunks to see it. The blazing symbol of Mars glowed hauntingly on Rei's forehead and then faded. "You baka you said you could control your shield!!" Bulma yelled.
"It spontaneously happens." Rei said while wobbling on her feet. Miari Trunks got next to Rei and held her up. "Arigato.I would have wiped out and hurt myself and the baby." Rei said before passing out. "She must have lost a lot of energy." Bulma thought. Miari Trunks looked at the peacefully passed out Martian and felt himself holding her gingerly. Nephrenia laughed and then looked at Bulma. "Mistress the target isn't dead." The minion said. "We'll get her next time lets retreat." Nephrenia said and disappeared and the androids came. Miari Trunks looked at his father to see him signal him to take Rei and Bulma back to Capsule Corp. and then went for it. "Trunks (I'm sick and tired of putting down Miari Trunks) is she ok?" Bulma asked. "She's ok." Trunks said while looking at Rei softly. Bulma noticed the look and knew inside what was most likely going on. "Where's her room mother?" Trunks asked. "Right here." Bulma pointed. Trunks opened and closed the door behind him. "It's hard to believe that three years was such a big difference in your life.I should have lived at the temple instead of going into the time gates to see how you were." Trunks said while laying Rei onto her bed.
Bulma felt awful knowing that Trunks would check up on Rei ever since he saw her when they were in Tokyo before the androids were a threat in this time 3 years ago. Rei was sound asleep while Trunks closed her bedroom door. "So I get what's going on...you like her." Bulma said surprising Trunks. "What do you mean mom?" Trunks asked now acting stupid. "You've been so nice to her and giving her 'the look' it's VERY obvious now." Bulma said. "I'm nice to her cause women are fragile when they're pregnant." Trunks said. "Sure then what's the excuse for 'the look' you give her?" Bulma asked. "She's pretty." Trunks said bluntly. Bulma smirked at her future son. "You like her...I know you do." Bulma said and then left to her lab. Trunks breathed out a sigh of relief. "That was too close to comfort." Trunks thought and then heard Vegeta snarling a 'Get your ass in this training room right now you punk!' and headed to the training room. A few hours passed and Rei woke up to see herself in her room covered in a thin blanket. She shot up and looked around. "How in the world did I get back here?" Rei asked herself aloud. "Trunks carried you." Bulma said with a ring in her voice. "Bulma what are you up to?" Rei asked. "Oh nothing I just think my son's future form likes you." Bulma said.
"Please." Rei said getting on her feet. Bulma noticed Rei was blushing when she said that Trunks carried her to her room and smirked inside widely. Trunks was now walking out of the training room with his shirt on one shoulder and sweat all over him. (Author: *drools over thought*) Rei and Bulma were walking past the training room when Trunks came out and Rei saw him and blushed a beat red as she turned her line of vision away. Bulma saw Rei's reaction and did something that would make Rei want to kill her. "Ohhhhh Rei is blushing." Bulma said. Rei silently walked away her face still a bright crimson. Trunks saw Rei blush as they met eye- to-eye for the brief moment and noticed how innocent she looked at that moment. "It seems that Rei went into shy mode all of a sudden." Bulma said to her son. Trunks looked at his mother as a warning. "I know I know I need to stop my childish behavior but I think you two would look so cute together." Bulma said. "Mother." Trunks said while pulling his shirt over his head. "Rei and I are going to the doctors would you like to come with us?" Bulma asked. "What type of doctor?" Trunks asked. "An OB/GYN." Bulma said. "An OB/GYN no thanks." Trunks said.
"Trunks you don't even known what an OB/GYN is." Bulma said. "Yes I do." Trunks said. "What is it then?" Bulma asked. "A doctor for pregnant women." Trunks said slightly embarrassed to have to define it to his mother. "Well we need someone male to pose as the father or family member." Bulma said with a ring in her voice. "No forget it." Trunks said. "Then act as her brother." Bulma said. "Ok I'll be her brother." Trunks said while he was dragged to the front of the building to go to the doctor.
*At the OB/GYN clinic* "It's impressive that you are this far and are not that big." The doctor said doing an ultrasound. "Do you want to know what the sex of the baby is?" The doctor asked. Rei was about to say no when Bulma said..'I want to know what my friend is going to have.' "Well by the looks of this Ms. Hino you're going to have a girl." The doctor said. The appointment was near over when Rei had to get blood drawn. Bulma noticed Rei go as pale as a sheet when she saw the needle. "This will only take a second." The doctor said. Rei looked at Bulma with tears in her eyes. "I hate needles." Rei whispered to her best friend. "Well this needle won't take blood...hmmmm." The doctor said puzzled. "My blood is abnormal remember Bulma!" Rei said in Latin. "Oh shit." Bulma thought. Trunks was fluent in Latin so he heard what Rei said and wondered what she meant by abnormal. "We'll have to use this since I can't draw blood from your arm." The doctor said showing a VERY long needle to Rei. "I'm about to pass out I'm going to faint Bulma do something anything!" Rei said in Latin. "Trunks give your sister some comfort." Bulma said pushing Trunks up to Rei's side. "Keep looking at your brother this'll take a second and it won't hurt the baby." The Doctor said and then stuck the needle into Rei's swelled stomach. Rei and Trunks were staring at each other for a LONG moment until the needle was gone. "Well your done the results for birth defects will be told to you on the phone later this week..have a good day Ms. Hino." The doctor said.
"I'm NOT EVER going back there." Rei said. "Yeah when the doctor took out that longer needle you looked paler than sheets." Bulma said being serious. "I wish I killed Chad for what he did to me now but I.." Rei trailed not wanting to admit what she would admit. "You what?" Bulma asked. "I'm afraid of him." Rei said. Bulma literally jumped in the air in shock. "YOU AFRIAD OF A GUY!" Bulma yelled. "Hello Earth to Bulma he raped me we were really good friends and that's why I got scared I would tell you more but I don't want to." Rei said. So Trunks knows how it happened and was steamed. Rei's fluffy blouse was a good way of hiding her swelled stomach but Bulma had other ideas. "We're going shopping for some maturity clothes for you." Bulma said. "WHAT?!" Rei yelled. "Well you can't always wear baggy stuff to hide your pregnancy you need to show it with pride..sure how you got pregnant wasn't the way you wanted it to be but picture it this way a miracle of life is inside you." Bulma said. "Fine we can go shopping." Rei said dully. Trunks looked over at Rei who had her hand resting on her stomach with her eyes closed. "Well can you sense if she has your powers?" Bulma asked in Latin. "I can't tell my head has been fogged by my friends murders." Rei said in Latin.
Trunks was listening to the whole conversation. "So if you DO get married will you have more kids?" Bulma asked in Latin. (Their whole conversation will be in Latin) "I might never get married and I'm not going to have anymore because of me being pregnant the Moon Princess and all my other friends are dead cause I wasn't there to fight with them to protect the sacred grounds." Rei said. "What if this child is a rouge you have to bear an heir with your powers you know or your race is swept off the map." Bulma said. "I don't really give a care anymore." Rei said. "How can you say that?" Bulma asked. "You have your heir already if you haven't noticed Trunks has the powers of Earth in his blood that's why he is more powerful than your ego tripped husband." Rei said. Bulma looked shocked at Rei. "I can sense the blood of stars in people and since there are only two full blooded planet heirs left they have no choice but to bear their heirs now you have done that while I'm probably not going to do that." Rei said. "You have to." Bulma said. "I have a free will I can choose if I want my race to go into the wind or not but sometimes I wish that all this never happened that this was all a nightmare that I could wake up from." Rei said in English completely forgetting Trunks being in the car.
"It's ok to think that Rei you just have to keep faith that the fates have a better reason for you down here than to just be a tool." Bulma said now talking in English. (Now it's back to English) Trunks was starting to piece together what Rei and his mother were talking about. He knew that his mother had powers but didn't know of what kind. The car was parked and Rei was showed to a nice small store. "Here I think this is kawaii." Bulma said. The short shopping trip ended when one of Nephrenia's assassins came for Rei. "Lady Mars you are to come with me or die here." The assassin said pointing to Rei. "I've had enough of you demons killing my friends and targeting innocent people." Rei said now taking her pen out. Bulma took hers out too. "Trunks get out of here." Bulma said instinctively. Trunks stayed though.
EARTH PLANET POWER MAKE UP!!! MARS CRYSTAL POWER MAKE UP!!!
"In the name of Earth and Mars we shall punish you!!" Bulma and Rei said holding their sacred treasures. Rei's stomach was flat like she wasn't pregnant making Rei able to move fast. A flame staff was in Rei's hands while a staff called the staff of unity rested in Bulma's hands. "Tell Nephrenia to go to hell...Earthly Meteor Shower!" Bulma yelled while what looked like meteors came out of the tip of Bulma's staff and hit the assassin. "And if she wants to kill us to come do it personally...Mars Blazing Inferno!" Rei yelled while flames came from the tip of her staff in shape of a phoenix hit the assassin making him charred to a crisp. "YOU BETTER GET THE MESSAGE NEPHRENIA I'M NOT SCARED OF YOU!!" Rei yelled. Trunks was wide eyed in shock. "AND IF YOU WANT TO KILL US JUST TRY TO YOU BITCH!" Bulma yelled. The two dehensined to see a shocked Trunks there pointing to them while he stuttered. "We must erase what he saw." Rei said. "No I can trust him." Bulma said. "How are you so sure he won't tell Vegeta- baka?" Rei asked. "We trusted Gohan." Bulma said. "He's a little kid this is a near 21 year old man we're talking about." Rei said. "Enough with the 'I don't trust men' act we can trust him after all he does have the powers of Earth in his blood like you said." Bulma said. Rei growled and then crossed her arms.
"I don't trust men for a reason." Rei said. "Well Trunks please don't tell anybody what you saw ok?" Bulma asked her son. "I won't mother..but what's up with Rei all of a sudden?" Trunks asked in a whisper. "This is her normal battle personality when in battles she is all backbone." Bulma whispered back. "Wow." Trunks said looking at Rei's tensed up body. "Plus being pregnant isn't helping the famous family temper." Bulma said. "Famous family temper?" Trunks asked. "Her parents were holders of war so they raised her to be an expert in battles and strategies when it comes to war." Bulma said.
