A Woman's Shattered Dreams
Chapter 5: Understanding the heart of Rei Hino..a Pegasus appears
Rei and them got home and now were ready to eat dinner. "So how was the trip to the Obstetrician's Rei?" Bulma's mother asked. "It went well Mrs. Briefs." Rei lied. "Rei actually almost passed out from the sight of a needle that was about 5 inches long." Bulma said. "You are so embarrassing Bulma." Rei said with her face behind a hand. "Well that's understandable." Doctor Briefs said while taking a puff of his cigarette. "Dear take that outside." Mrs. Briefs told her husband. "Oh sorry." Doctor Briefs said and went outside. Rei was finished first and headed to her room. "Wonder what's wrong with her she looks so sad." Mrs. Briefs said seeing Rei literally slouch on the way to her room. "She's depressed." Bulma thought. Rei got to her room and plopped onto her bed and stared at the ceiling with tears welling in her eyes. Rei sniffed to hold back the pain she felt inside and then couldn't hold it back she let it all out. The power-masking wish faded as Rei cried for her friends and hime who were killed because of her not being there. "We were a team I should have been there I let them down and because of that they died because of me." Rei said to herself while tears trickled down her pale face.
Vegeta was eating when he sensed a power that was very strong near and thought that it was Nephrenia and got up from the table without being excused. Trunks sensed it also and felt it was near really close to the building. Vegeta followed his senses and found himself in front of Rei's bedroom door. Trunks was next to him confused. Rei was glowing a red from the pain she was pouring out all her guilt and sorrows with every tear every sob and word that came out. "It's all my fault the future is destroyed because of me there's nothing to do to fix it. Setsuna is dead because I wasn't there to protect her I only wanted to protect the hime and my friends but now they're gone because of me because I wasn't there when they needed me the most." Rei said to herself. A black thing was wondering around West City when its circuits were crosswired with its target. "Target in sight phase one in commence." The thing said into a communications link. Bulma sensed another assassin near and then started to run to Rei's room to see her husband and son in front of the door. Rei sensed something and looked outside the window when it's glass shattered and wired wrapped around her wrists and ankles. "Move it!" Bulma yelled shoving Trunks and Vegeta to the side. "Now to terminate the target." The thing said making electrical surges go through the wires. Rei felt the charges of electricity go through her body and screamed in pain. "It's another assassin." Bulma said trying to open the door. "STOP!" Rei screamed but the electricity kept going through her body.
"Another assassin?" Vegeta asked. "Will explain later." Bulma said and had enough and kicked the door down to see Rei's body sparking with electricity and tears running down her face as her screams got louder. "The word stop doesn't compute in my memory I was given orders by Queen Nephrenia to assassinate the one of Mars." The thing said and continued shocking Rei. The red glow Rei had was intensifying from the pain inside her body. "The baby..she's going to die." Rei thought and then felt herself scream one more time and a warm light come from her hand. Her staff appeared and made fire burn the wires off her wrists and ankles. "REI!" Bulma screamed and then was grabbed by the wires. "BULMA!" Trunks yelled seeing his mother being shocked. "I was also ordered to assassinate the one of Earth along with Mars." The thing said and then grew another pair of wires to grab Rei again to kill her. "No..I won't let you kill anymore of my friends." Rei said weakly while getting on her feet using her staff for support. "You hear me I WON'T LET YOU KILL ANYMORE OF MY FRIENDS!" Rei yelled and black flames engulfed the thing making its grip on Bulma loosen. The thing exploded. Vegeta was confused at this scene but picked up his wife. Rei dropped the staff and passed out. Trunks caught her before she could fall to the ground. "Two assassins in one day man they have a lot on their shoulders." Trunks thought carrying Rei to the lab.
Doctor Briefs saw his daughter and her friend brought into the lab and went off like a firecracker. "What happened to them?" He asked his son- in-law and Grandson's future form. "An assassin." Trunks said resting Rei on a metal bed. "They were attacked by a thing sent by Nephrenia." Vegeta said resting Bulma carefully on a metal bed. "Were they shocked by electricity?" Doctor Briefs asked while doing an exam on them with a scanner. "Yes, they were." Vegeta said. "Strange there's the physical affects but nothing wrong internally." Doctor Briefs said rubbing his chin. "Strange." Vegeta thought and looked at Bulma worried. Trunks noticed for the first time his father looked so worried at his mother and then looked at Rei worried not only for her health and well being but the small life inside her also. Their breathing was shallow which had Trunks and Vegeta worried for a bit until their physical condition got better 3 hours later. A moan came from Bulma's bed as she stirred waking up slowly. Vegeta felt himself smile to hear his wife moan and see her moving. Trunks on the other hand held Rei's hand waiting for her to wake but no luck. For one she took more electricity than his mother did and two she attacked with a new attack that she most likely didn't know and three lost a lot of energy. Bulma opened her eyes to see Vegeta smiling at her and sat up carefully. "What happened?" Bulma asked. "An assassin thought of killing you and Rei." Vegeta said while hugging his wife gently, which surprised not only Bulma but also Trunks and Doctor Briefs.
"Rei...is she ok?" Bulma asked her husband. "She's still unconscious." Vegeta said pointing to Trunks and the unconscious Rei. "Poor Trunks." Bulma said accidentally. Trunks looked over at his mother with a slight frown while holding Rei's hand in hopes she'd wake up soon. "Is Rei's baby ok?" Bulma asked her father. "Surprisingly you and her insides weren't fried." Doctor Briefs said. "Who was shocked longer?" He then asked. "Rei was." Bulma said sadly. "Well her organs are fine and nothing is wrong with the baby." He said. "Wow that's a surprise." Bulma said. Trunks looked at Rei and noticed a few marks that looked like wire burns on her wrists and ankles. He took the hand he was holding and looked at the marks closely on her wrist. "Well it's getting really late I'll check on Rei every hour you all should get some sleep." Doctor Briefs said and left the lab. Bulma and Vegeta went to bed but Trunks stayed for a moment. "Please wake up." Trunks said kissing her hand and leaving. It was more than a day since the assassin came and Rei was still out which Doctor Briefs now say she was in a coma. Trunks was more worried now as he looked at Rei's body that was covered in scratches and bruises from the struggling she did the night before. Bulma noticed that the look her son had in his eyes were full of major concern. "I knew it you like her." Bulma said trying to cheer her son up. "Yeah, I like her." Trunks said admitting it.
Days passed and Rei was still out. Until one night on the eve of a full eclipse of the sun with Mercury and Venus. Rei opened her eyes and the first thing she saw was Trunks there holding her hand with bandages on her wrist. Trunks saw Rei wake up and gripped her hand a bit tighter. Rei responded by squeezing his hand slightly. "You've been out for over a week." Trunks said picking Rei up and hugging her gently to not hurt her. "Oh god..the baby." Rei said starting to get worried. "The baby is fine..Grandpa checked on her when I brought you in here." Trunks said to her comfortingly. Rei tried to walk on her feet but collapsed. "You might not be able to walk for a while your ankles are marked from where you were shocked with electricity." Trunks said picking Rei up carefully. Bulma was watching the eclipse with Vegeta and Chibi-Trunks when they heard the door from the lab open and looked at see Rei awake in Trunks' arms. "Rei we were so worried." Bulma said. "Too bad Minako and Ami were not here to see this." Rei thought while seeing the two planets block the sun. A ringing then came to Rei and Bulma's ears. "Maidens of the two last planets of the Silver Millennium help me." A voice said while a Pegasus appeared before Rei and Bulma. "Who.who are you?" Bulma asked. The Pegasus suddenly turned human and bowed. "I'm Priest Helios of the Golden Kingdom of your home world Lady Earth." Helios said to Bulma. "My home world?" Bulma asked.
"Lady Earth?" Vegeta asked. "Princesses of Mars and Earth please I beg you find the Golden Crystal it had disappeared from Prince Endymion and can be taken any moment into the hands of the evil queen of the dead moon." Helios said. "How do you know who we are?" Rei asked. "I can sense the blood of your planets running through your veins princesses." Helios said. "The Golden Crystal is the gem of your world of the Earth Kingdom's Princess Earth your brother was supposed to have it but it had disappeared right after the surprise attack." Helios said. "I remember Papa had that crystal when me and Endymion were children and were training us to use it in case of grave danger but since I was eldest and a girl Endymion was given the crystal so he would become king." Bulma said. "Yes Princess, and Princess Mars the crystal of your home world is not the Mars Crystal you possess at the moment it's the inferno crystal your mother was to teach you how to use it but your parents were assassinated before you were old enough to learn." Helios said. "What the hell do you mean that my wife and her friend are the onnas that are the sailor scouts of Earth and Mars?" Vegeta asked. "Yes..Lord Vegeta your wife and her friend are the last sailor senshi of the solar system." Helios said.
"I don't understand though how come you haven't come to tell us before the massacre?" Rei asked. "I'm held captive by the dead moon queen and this is just my spirit here begging you two to help me." Helios said and then started to fade. "Wait!" Bulma said. "I can't stay any longer please Princesses please find the Golden Crystal." Helios said and then faded completely. The ringing didn't disappear though and Rei, Trunks, Vegeta, Bulma and the other Z-fighters who were watching the eclipse saw a flying boat appear in the dark sky. "Hi-ho! Here comes the circus! Ah, this beautiful bright town, filled with dreams. The land of our dreams! It's been a long time coming. The Dead Moon Circus is here!" Many voices said from the flying boat. "Well there's our new enemy." Rei said in Martian to Bulma. "You're right Rei." Bulma said. Trunks and Vegeta looked at Rei and Bulma confused. The sky then turned back to normal. A pain entered Bulma and Rei's bodies making them cough suddenly. Rei glared at the sky knowing that all the senshi in the universe would have a hard time trying to fight without their leader of stars. "Serenity-sama why...why did you have to die?" Rei suddenly yelled slamming her wrist into the rail in front of her denting it. "Rei calm down. Even though they are dead. We still have our missions in life." Bulma said resting a hand on her friend's shoulder. "We swore each other that we'd all be happy but what happened they are dead. We never got to go to college together everything has gone wrong." Rei snapped. Bulma frowned as her friend told the truth. Vegeta saw the pain in his wife's eyes as Rei told the raw truth. "My dear brother." Bulma whispered and a tear escaped from her eye.
