A Woman's Shattered Dreams
Chapter 11: The showdown with Pluto. Nephrenia's disappearance. is it over?
Rei was holding herself up with her flame rod trying to stay standing. Bulma also was using her Unity rod to keep herself from falling. Pluto stood in front of them with the sinister look of bloodlust in her eyes towards them. "You two are weakened you cannot beat my superior powers. You are weak even if the Silver Crystal is on your side." Pluto said. Blood dripped down Bulma's arms, legs, and above her eye. Rei had blood dripping down her arms, legs, through her uniform where her chest was, above her eye and blood tricked down her leg from bleeding of the lower body. Trunks saw the blood coming from under her skirt and remembered what he was taught in medical school. 'Pregnant women, under a great deal of stress will start to hemorrhage, which means start to bleed internally and show by blood coming out of the birth canal. If the case of hemorrhage isn't checked on after a certain amount of time the woman could stillborn, miscarry, or die from loss of blood.' He remembered his teacher say to him. "Well if this fight doesn't end soon it won't be me who kills you but either your injuries or your own child." Pluto said towards Rei. "Shut up." Rei hissed and moved into her fighting stance. Bulma saw the blood and knew if something wasn't done soon her friend would die from bleeding to death. Two lives were at stake in Rei's situation. Rei yelled angrily. Her rage was so high from seeing her friends being used as pawns. She raised her rod and charged towards Nephrenia hitting the Dead Moon Queen in the head.
Nephrenia was set back from the strong blow to the head. Blood started to pool onto the cement from Rei and the huge hole in Nephrenia's head. The staff had slammed hard into the back of Nephrenia's skull making a hole as it broke past the skull leaving blood from the open wound pool mercilessly onto the ground. "You think you can defeat me?" Nephrenia asked tauntingly. "I know I will." Rei hissed and then launched an attack and with a combination of another hit to the skull more blood sprayed from the queen's body. Bulma and Pluto were at it. Pluto had been able to jab the hilt of her rod into Bulma's back making a hole. Blood poured from the wound. Bulma turned to face the time guardian turned evil with eyes colder than ice. "You will not corrupt my people nor take over my world. Ally or not you're dead." She hissed as she stabbed her rod into Pluto's head. "KOTICHA!!" She yelled making the head blow up and making blood go everywhere. Vegeta and Trunks' jaws dropped at the brutality Bulma showed. "No one will ever destroy this world as long as I live on it." Bulma hissed while kicking Pluto's lifeless body aside to aid Rei. Blood from the dead time senshi dripped off Bulma's chin as she calmly walked over to where Rei was. Pluto's body faded back to where it belonged in a peaceful rest. Rei was on the ground holding her stomach in pain. An attack had hit her square in the stomach. Her bleeding from the lower half of the body was more severe. "You are such a weak hearted senshi." Nephrenia said and kicked Rei in the stomach. Blood came from her mouth as she was continuously kicked and stepped on.
"You bitch." Rei hissed while trying to get up before another kick sent her flying. "You are so weak it's pathetic." Nephrenia said. Rei stood weakly on her legs glaring at her enemy. The one who killed her friends, the one who caused her torment inside, the one who wanted to kill her and her remaining friends. Bulma joined in but when she did she didn't know how powerful the queen was. Bulma flew into a cement wall from a powerful energy blast. She stood up quickly and attacked the queen but her attack was sent back at her. Bulma ran to Rei and held her up by the arm. "I want her dead." Rei hissed coldly as a red aura surrounded her body. "You shouldn't use your life energy." Bulma said. "I have no other choice now. She is way too powerful." Rei said before withering in pain again. Trunks and Vegeta knew that they couldn't help in this battle because their training was not complete nor would they be able to live if they accidentally used the wrong energy source. 'Stay back. We can handle her don't look so hopeless.' Bulma and Rei told their loved ones. 'But the baby, what about you you're bleeding so much.' Trunks said to Rei. 'I'm fine. Don't worry Trunks-kun.' Rei said to him. Vegeta also talked to Bulma telepathically with great worry. 'Just worry if they're dream lemurs near.' Bulma replied. "Think we could beat her by putting our most powerful attacks together?" Rei asked her voice barely above a whisper from the pain she was suffering. Bulma knew if Rei stayed here without medical attention she would die. She didn't want her only friend alive to die because of this battle. It would cause such sorrow to her son, to herself, and to the Mars Kingdom. "No, I want you to get out of here. I'll take care of it." Bulma said. "But you are with a female heir you can't die here either." Rei said on the line between consciousness and unconsciousness.
Nephrenia smiled cruelly and then all of a sudden disappeared before the two senshi. Right then Rei passed out and fell out of Bulma's supportive hold. She lay on the ground as blood came out more rapid now. All her older injuries, which were healed by Hotaru, had opened up. Bulma fell into unconsciousness as wounds that were unable to be seen opened wide and poured blood. Trunks and Vegeta ran up to them to be shocked from the blood. "We got to get them to the hospital quick." Trunks said panicked while holding his slipping fiancée in his arms. Vegeta had unspoken worry over his wife. They somehow were suddenly teleported to Capsule Corp. Who they saw there surprised them. There stood Sailor Pluto in a ghostly form in the lab where it seemed that time stopped. As Trunks and Vegeta rested their loves on the tables it seemed that their breathing, heartbeat, bleeding and functions stopped. as if time stopped them from dying. Then out of the corner of a room a young girl in a greenish brownish school uniform stepped out with a scythe in her hands. "Hotaru do you think you can heal them?" Pluto asked the ghost form of Saturn. Saturn looked over the two and frowned slightly. "It's so severe that if I do something just one thing wrong. they'll perish as well." Saturn said sadly. Snow started to fall outside the lab windows. They had forgotten that the winter season was near and that the holidays were near. The time needed to heal the two soldiers would be a while but the tables of time weren't on their side if something went wrong.
Rei and Bulma were put in separate healing tanks in hopes that their wounds would heal. Their uniforms as well as their civilian clothes were shredded during the fight leaving only strips of clothing to cover them. Bulma's hair had somehow grew out to that of Rei's length of hair as Rei's grew to be past her ankles in the tank. Wings had sprouted from their backs but the color were not of white but of red and light green. The glow from the Silver Crystal within Rei blinded the doctors that were watching over Rei and Bulma for the past 2 days. Their wounds were healing very fast. The nights passed and Trunks along with Vegeta couldn't train due to the thought of being distracted from their loves in case they died while they were training. Little did they know that the women would awake soon. A week later in the middle of the night one of the two opened her eyes and saw that she was alive. The hum of the machine had calmed her as well as the annoying beep of the heart monitor of her friends'. 'Rei-chan are you awake yet?' Bulma asked as she looked at her friend's tank next to her. Rei's unmoving form started to move. 'Bulma-chan, are we alive or dead? I'm too afraid to look.' Rei said. Bulma smiled to herself. "We're alive still." Bulma said and as if on instinct the machines started to empty and leave the two friends drenched and their hair to cling to their bodies.
The alarm in the livingroom alerted two certain males that something was happening. Thinking it was the thing they most feared they ran towards the lab their hearts racing as they prayed that nothing happened to their loved ones. Bulma handed Rei a hospital gown and buttoned hers up as the doors to the lab opened exposing the now panting Trunks and Vegeta. Trunks saw his fiancée there clad in only a see-through hospital gown and ran to her side and hugged her tightly to his chest. Vegeta went to his wife and kissed her hard on the mouth. 'I wouldn't know what I'd do if I lost you.' Vegeta thought to himself while holding Bulma against his body. Bulma cried in her husband's arms knowing that if something bad did happen and that if her and Rei didn't awake that their loved ones would be alone. Rei cried into Trunks' chest when she felt his strong arms around her. Trunks held her tightly kissing her on the head trying to soothe her. The two males' hearts sung to themselves with happiness for they were holding their loved one tightly knowing if they didn't believe in fate they'd be dead. Katherine was behind them bawling her red eyes out. Rei saw her friend behind Trunks and smiled to know that she was alive also. "I need to check on you and Lady Earth to make sure the babies are fine." Katherine said trying to regain her professionalism. Vegeta was the first to make Bulma go. The heartbeat of the baby's surprised everyone in the room. When it came to Rei's turn Trunks helped her over to the chair. The monitor displayed no heartbeat. The baby wasn't moving.
Tears started to form in Rei's eyes. "Gomen nasai." Katherine whispered. The baby was dead. Trunks felt Rei's hold on his hand tighten. "No, this can't be." Rei whispered to herself as tears started to petal down her face. Bulma looked at Rei's sad eyes and then back at the monitor. Her granddaughter was dead a few months before she was to be born with her aunt. Rei broke down in Trunks' arms not wanting to believe what she saw on the monitor. "We have to remove the dead baby." Katherine said sadly. Vegeta saw how pissed Trunks looked. "This is all the fate's fault!" Rei yelled angrily while pounding her fist into Trunks' hard chest. Trunks hugged Rei tightly so she could just let it out. From the numerous kicks and being stepped on by Nephrenia had a price. It was the death of the baby that was the price that had to be paid. Rei had cried all that she could before she fell into a restless sleep/faint. "I know what could make her happy." Bulma said. Everyone turned and looked at the serious looking Earth hime. "What is it other?" Trunks asked. "When the Golden crystal is found. I could wish for the baby to be alive." Bulma said resting a hand on her sad friend's stomach, which was lifeless. "You can do that mother?" Trunks asked. "Yes." Bulma said. "Would that have an affect on you?" Vegeta asked. "No." Bulma said while caressing her friend's face. The moist cheeks made tears of her own come from her eyes. "No one should be deprived of a child no matter if destiny wanted it or not." Bulma said. "But the crystal is still missing." Katherine said. "I'll kill Nephrenia for causing such unhappiness just because she's a power hungry bitch." Bulma said coldly. "What will you do to her?" Vegeta asked. "I'll tear her heart out and let her feel the pain that us senshi go through when we loose a loved one." Bulma said.
Hours later when Rei awoke.
"So is it over?" Trunks asked. "Not until the bitch is dead." Rei said coldly. Bulma saw the roaring rage and hatred in her eyes and knew that the spark of happiness from soon-to-be motherhood had kept her alive for these past months. Not even Trunks would have been enough to stop her from destroying herself after the girls died but she never told anyone about it. Bulma rested a hand of comfort on Rei's shoulder knowing that she was beyond depressed in the mind. That night Rei was in her room crying into the wee hours of the morning. She never came out of her room that next day nor the day after. Trunks had tried to get in but the door was locked and the weak cry of 'Leave me alone' left him heartbroken to know that this much pain was from loosing one life. On the 4th day that Rei kept herself locked up Bulma hugged her son. "Don't worry Trunks. She's ok. Stop worrying." Bulma said. Trunks never told anyone that he was worried about Rei but he guessed it was just motherly instincts that Bulma found out that he was hiding his worry behind his constant training. The surgery to remove the dead baby had came that day. But what shocked everyone was when the ultrasound was taken a heartbeat was heard. Somehow the baby was alive again but the way it was resurrected was questioned until Rei figured it out. The Silver Crystal sensed her sorrow and gave the dead baby its life back. When Rei saw that the baby was alive again the color of her skin was back to it's creamy peach and her eyes were darker instead of lighter from sorrow clouding her.
Trunks was so shocked to see the baby was alive again. He felt Rei's hand tighten its grip on his and looked down at her to see silent tears running down her face. Usagi's spirit had visited Rei during her sleep and wished for the crystal to give the baby it's life back and the only person who knew it picked her glasses up and put them back on her face. Katherine knew about it. "Well then. The due date is still at April 20th then." She said happily knowing that everything would be fine from now on. Rei and Trunks had set a date for their wedding and it wasn't far from now. Only 3 weeks. It was March already and the winter snow had long since melt. Happiness and the showing of spring was on the way. As well two young lives.
