A Woman's Shattered Dreams

Chapter 10: The time we spent in our own little world

The newly engaged couple was in a tight embrace. The ring given to Rei, which was so carefully placed on her finger, shimmered in the light of the sun. It was a gold band with a deep red ruby and small diamonds on it. "I sense something big will happen soon." Rei said. "Yes, a fight will happen." Trunks said grasping Rei's hand in his. "I think we should go back to West City." Bulma said to Vegeta. "Should we get those two?" Vegeta asked. "I'm sure that what they needed to say is done." Bulma said. The two went to where Trunks and Rei were to see that Trunks had proposed to her. "So when's the wedding?" Bulma asked. "Mom, I just proposed give us some time." Trunks said.

"Well you can't mate with her until AFTER she has that human's child." Vegeta said. "No it's OUR child now." Trunks said with Rei next to him. "So you'll take care of the child with Rei?" Bulma asked. "I know how it feels like to have no father. So I don't want this child to go through what I have." Trunks said. "I know you'll be a good father." Vegeta said. "Let's go back home guys. We have to get a strategy. Plus we've been here for over a week training." Bulma said. "No way. We've been in Elysion for a day unless. now I get it." Rei said. "We have to get you back. You have your appointment." Bulma said. "Oh yeah. I almost forgot." Rei said. "Lets get going then." Trunks said. After they teleported back to the shrine Bulma, Trunks, Rei, and Vegeta went to the hospital. Rei lay down on the bed as gel was put on her tummy. "You want to make a confirmation of the sex of the baby?" Katherine asked. "Yes." Trunks said. "And you Rei-chan?" Katherine asked. "Yes." Rei answered. "Well. lets see here." The doctor said. The ultrasound picture was a moment to remember. The small life inside was moving. "Looks like it's a definite girl." Katherine said. "Hear that Rei?" Trunks asked. "Yes." Rei replied as a smile came to her lips. "Here's the picture." Katherine said handing Trunks the baby's first picture to him. The sound of the baby's heartbeat from the monitor made Rei want to cry. 'A girl. the future senshi of Mars. Why?' She thought.

"Here's you booster of proteins. And make sure you drink plenty of fluids and eat healthy foods." Katherine said. "We're having a girl." Rei said still so happy and surprised. Trunks wrapped his arm around his fiancé's tummy and felt the child kick. "She'll be a fighter like her mother." Trunks said. Bulma and Vegeta saw their son gently hold their future daughter-in-law and smiled to themselves. "Mrs. Briefs. It's your turn." Katherine said. The whole family was now in the small office. "My Lady Earth. It seems that both you and Rei-chan are at the same stage of pregnancy." She said surprised looking at the ultrasound picture on the monitor. "What's the sex of my soon to be sibling?" Trunks asked. "Well let's see here. well it's a surprising thing. Rei-chan and Lady Earth are both going to have girls." Katherine said with a smile. "Man this is starting to feel like that one chick flick 'Father of the Bride 2'." Vegeta said amused. "Katherine. has intelligence found anything on Nephrenia?" Rei asked. "You have to ruin a good moment by mentioning the enemy. Oy you are just as bad as your mother was." Katherine said.

"I'm sorry. I haven't been able to get past the gene that gave me my mother's urge to fight." Rei said with a laugh. "Well intelligence has found out that Nephrenia has gotten 9 very powerful warriors and to be on the look out." Katherine said. A fear struck in Rei's chest from the number of 9. "No, it couldn't be." She said. "If you're thinking it's the princess and the others. I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news but somehow Nephrenia somehow got their star seeds and resurrected them to be evil." Katherine said. "Damn it!" Rei hissed as her fist went through the metal table next to her. "Rei you'll hurt yourself." Trunks said. As Rei took her fist out of the hole made by her fist blood dripped of her knuckles. "Why. Why did I have a feeling that that would happen? When do you think they'll most likely attack?" Rei asked coldly. "Any day now." Katherine said. "Great." Rei said bluntly as her knuckles were bandaged. They left the hospital with must to think about. Rei and Trunks went to the fire room and sat/laid down next to the fire. Rei was laying down staring into Trunks' eyes. Trunks looked at his fiancée and had his hand resting on her stomach. The feel of the baby kicking was a comfort to both of them as they rested in silence.

The great fire burned in front of them as like singing or humming a soothing song calming their egging nerves. "So you have a plan in case you have to fight your friends?" Trunks asked. "No." Rei said resting her hand over his on her stomach. "I'll help you as much as I can. When we go back to Elysion for more training I'll make sure you and the baby will not get injured in the fight. That's a promise I'm making to you now." Trunks said in a serious tone of voice. "You don't have to make promises. I know you follow your word." Rei said caressing his cheek with her knuckles. Trunks took her hand and kissed her wrist before lacing his fingers with hers. "Fate is so beautiful. dangerous but beautiful at the same time." Rei said as she was helped up. Trunks and Rei went to walk outside the temple when they saw someone standing there in a skimpy tight black dress with a black crescent moon on the forehead staring at them. "So, you're one of the remaining sailor scouts. It's so obvious that you'd have a man with you." The woman said. "Usagi?" Rei asked in shock. There was the former Moon Princess in front of her as her enemy. "Well, that must be someone else's name cause mine is Serenity." The evil Usagi said. "Darkness shall always shadow over you for what you did to us." Another voice added in. There stood Sailor Saturn next to Usagi with her glaive, which was mutated, pointed at her. "Hotaru." Rei said.

"Well I no longer go by that name. I go by Shinimegami." The evil Hotaru said. "How could their star seeds have been corrupted?" Rei asked herself aloud. "Easily silly Mars sailor. We allowed the truth sink in." An evil Ami said standing next to Hotaru. Following suit was Chibi-Moon, Pluto, Neptune, Uranus, Venus, and Jupiter. This was a surprise attack. Right when Saturn pointed her glaive at her former ally she yelled an attack. Rei was thrown back into a wall from the attack. "Good one Shinimegami." Usagi said to her loyal companion. "No way. You allowed the darkness to suck you all in with lies. Nothing but lies." Rei said standing up and glaring at her former friends. Trunks looked at Rei concerned but when he saw the burning hate in her eyes he knew she was fine. Bulma and Vegeta were walking out of the house with Chibi-Trunks in a carrier when they saw the dark senshi ganging up on Rei. Rei got in a fighting stance and prepared herself for a fight. "Bring it on you evil scum." Rei hissed hating to see that her friends were turned traitors on her. "Well then Mars. We're going to have to destroy you." Jupiter said as electricity crackled from her fists. Rei jumped into the air and swiftly knocked all her former comrades down and disarmed them of their tools and weapons.

She looked in her hands and looked at the black bead in which used to be the Silver Crystal. "So you let it take you. Do you hate me that much? Do you hate me so much Usagi?" Rei asked as her hair covered her sad eyes. "No, I don't hate you I detest you so much that hate can't even describe it." Usagi said with a cruel smile on her lips. "Well then. I'm not sorry for what I'm about to do." Rei said as a new hensin wand landed in her hands. "You think you can defeat me with your lower powers?" Usagi asked and laughed sinisterly. "I command on the powers within my blood. with my soul. transform this power of super to superior to win against the whims of evil in my true name. I CALL FORTH THE POWER!!!" Rei yelled as her wand turned into a brooch and fire erupted around her. "ETERNAL MARS MAKE UP!!" Her voice could be heard from within the wall of fire. When the fire swept away a newly uniformed Sailor Mars stood there holding a staff in her hands. "What the hell?! How did you do that?!" Usagi screamed while her dark moon staff formed in her hands. "My will. My love, pain and sorrows form to create a greater power." Rei whispered and then her staff launched a series of attacks towards the dark senshi. Bulma saw the battle start and knew that Rei wouldn't be able to do this alone and handed chibi-Trunks to Vegeta and took her hensin wand out. "I also command on the powers within my blood. with my soul. transform this power of planet to eternal to win against the darkness trying to take over my planet in my true name. I CALL YOU FORTH POWER NO HIKARI!!!" Bulma yelled

A light of green and silver in that of mother earth covered the area where Bulma stood and when the light faded a newly uniformed Sailor Earth stood there holding her unity rod ready to fight. Bulma's uniform was no longer a brown and green. The skirt was a light green with a lining of silver at the edge. The bows on her chest and back were a light brown and silver as silver earrings dangled down her ears. A green choky hugged her throat as long white and silver gloves adorned her hands. Her rod had transformed and had 3 small balls on the tip and 4 rings coming from each ball. "In the name of Earth. I shall send you back to your graves where you shall rest in peace." Bulma said as an attack came from her staff. Blazing crowns of vines and flames adorned the warrior princesses' heads, their element and planet with them at high stakes. An explosion rung not far from the area. The androids were back and Trunks along with Vegeta went to where the androids were. Phobos held chibi-Trunks as the men went to fight their own fight. Attacks mixed together as the fight went deeper and deeper. Fatigue and tiredness was slowly overcoming the soldiers of Earth and Mars as they held their ground. Their once allies were stronger than they have ever been on the side of good. They were formidable opponents. "Come on you shouldn't fight with a baby you should just give up." Ami said while her rod and Rei's clanged against one another. Bulma was clashing rods with Hotaru and Usagi. "Ami is right both of you are expecting wouldn't it be a shame if you both lost your children because of your fight with us?" Usagi taunted.

"No way in hell I'd join darkness." Bulma said and hit Usagi in the nose. Blood came from the Moon Princess' nose from the rod breaking it. "You bitch look what you've done to my perfect face!!" She shrieked. Jupiter had hit Rei in the back of the head with her lightning rod and was very surprised when the flame rod came in contact with her stomach. Rei yelled a battle cry/cry of sorrow as she stabbed the rod into her former comrade's stomach. The rod went through Jupiter and out her back. "Gomen nasai Makato-chan." Rei whispered before pulling it out along with a vital organ killing Makato instantly. But before Rei pulled the rod out she heard her real friend Makato yell for her to kill her now corrupted soul. She complied with her dead friend's wish when she pulled that rod out. The dark senshi saw Jupiter fall dead and then started to launch more powerful attacks. Bulma took her unity rod and let it split into two. She used the rods to jump over Saturn and stab into her chest. "I'm sorry dear Hotaru but you are dead already." Bulma whispered as she pulled her rods out tearing the teen's heart out at the same time. But like with Rei before Bulma delivered the fatal blow she heard the shy Shinimegami beg for her to kill her corrupted soul. She had complied with the teen's wishes. She looked at the bleeding heart, which was splotching blood everywhere with sadness. The lifeless bodies of Jupiter and Saturn lay on the ground in bloodied heaps. Sorrow was in both Rei and Bulma's eyes Usagi saw two of her most powerful senshi on the ground dead and glowed a dark aura of black.

Rei turned to her former leader and glared icily at her. "You have brought this upon yourself." She hissed and then with the corrupted Silver Crystal in her hand she shattered it. The pieces of the crystal started to shimmer and go back to the crystal white color as they fell onto the ground. Usagi's red eyes turned back to a crystal blue as her dead body faded back to where it belonged. The other sailors gasped to see their leader die so easily. The crystal, which was on the ground started to gather and form as the purified glass bead it was known as and floated into Rei's newly formed brooch. Mercury, Neptune, Uranus, Pluto, Venus, and Chibi-Moon were shocked to see the crystal join with Rei's crystal. The battle between the two pure and 6 evil sailors has only began..

"YOU'LL PAY FOR KILLING HER YOU BITCH!!! Uranus yelled and charged towards Rei. "HOW DARE YOU HAVE KILLED HOTARU!!!" Pluto and Neptune yelled and charged towards Bulma. Venus went to fight Rei along with Chibi-Moon while Mercury went to fight Bulma. With the androids the Z-senshi had surprisingly defeated them from the help of some spirit that called out to them. Trunks and Vegeta were flying back as quickly as they could towards the battleground where Rei and Bulma where to be first greeted by the dead bodies of Jupiter and Saturn fading away and an attack heading towards their direction. Trunks and Vegeta redirected the numerous attacks and saw that an all out brawl had been in progress and two very exhausted senshi's were trying to ward off their once loved companions. With ease the deaths of Mercury, Venus, Chibi-Moon, Neptune, and Uranus came. All that was left was Pluto. her staff had mutated to that of darkness. Her powers were more than before. It was to be one hell of a fight the two will have to try and finish before their injuries and powers make them collapse in weakness.

The laughter of Nephrenia along with Pluto's rung in the air...
