The Shattered Family

Chapter 2: The day after . . .

A day had passed since Nephrenia kidnapped Hikari. Trunks held his wife to his chest as he looked at his mother. Bulma's eyes were glazed with hatred towards the jealous Dead Moon Queen.

Rei was up ever since Hikari was kidnapped and was so helpless in emotions that her face was unreadable. From the hatred, sorrow, and many other feelings registering in her heart.

Vegeta was sitting on the couch looking at his son and his wounded wife to notice a faint glowing from her forehead. Trunks kissed Rei on the cheek after he felt her body limp in his arms. She had finally fallen asleep.

He looked at her closely and saw her planetary symbol react from something. He knew it was related to their daughter though. When Hikari was born Rei's symbol as well as the one on Hikari's forehead reacted.

"Go lay her down and then when you come back we can come up with a strategy." Vegeta said looking at his daughter-in-law worried.

Trunks went to lay Rei down on their bed when she started to moan in her restless sleep. He moved some hair from her face and kissed her on the lips. He covered her with the blankets and went out to the living room to see his mother and father were talking about some things.

"Trunks, if it's Nephrenia . . . she could make Hikari age quickly and turn against you. I fear for that. I know that'll happen. So . . . if things come to desperate measures don't kill her no matter what." Bulma said.

"I would never want to kill mine and Rei's child. Evil or not." Trunks said knowing how predictable his mother and Rei's enemies were.

"Trunks, you have to start more training of magic origin. I can help you. Your mother is to stay with Rei. You're coming to train with me in the Room of Spirit and Time." Vegeta said.

"I don't want to leave Rei right now. She's shattered. She's blaming herself. And I can tell mom has been blaming herself too." Trunks said looking over at his mother whom had 'worrying to death' written all over her face.

"I'll watch over Rei. Don't worry. Just go and train both of you. You'll both need it." Bulma said wiping a tear that was starting to fall from her eye. Vegeta saw this and looked at his wife. He knew she was suffering inside also, but the torment in himself couldn't be described.

How he would hold his granddaughter and see her smiles and laughs with her violet eyes glittering that warmth of being a grandfather was barely there. He couldn't sense her ki or her power and worry was rushing through him. Trunks already went to head for Dende's. Vegeta took Bulma into his arms and held her.

"We'll train hard for you and Rei as well as for our granddaughter." Vegeta said and then kissed his wife. Tears sprung from Bulma's eyes more to hear Vegeta say such things. He was so serious that when Bulma looked at his eyes she saw tears brimming in them.

When Vegeta got to the training with his son. He saw such determination in his eyes. Being handed the duty of King of Mars his powers both Earth and Sayian grew a lot. He kept a close look on his son and knew that he would soon be a good king for Vegeta-sei also.

But what worried him were Rei and his wife. He knew that Silver Millennium children could stay alive for millennia at a time and the thought of dying and leaving Bulma alone made his heart wrench.

Meanwhile at Rei and Trunks' house Rei and Bulma were drinking tea.

"So when do we start the search for Nephrenia's lair?" Bulma asked.

"The sooner the better. I'll kill that bitch if she injured my baby." Rei said very pissed.

Bulma smiled at her friend and the sipped her tea again. She looked at Midori whom was asleep in Rei's arms and knew that the child was comforting the Mars Goddess. She knew her friend was a softy with children and knew that she was the prefect mate for her son to produce many heirs for both Mars and Vegeta-sei.

"Bulma-chan. I think we should go now. Not tell anyone and finish this mission on our own." Rei said resting the baby on the couch with a pillow to the side so Midori won't roll off the couch and hurt herself. Bulma looked at Rei's serious eyes and knew that nothing would stop her.

"Okay, but we need someone to watch over Midori closely." Bulma said.

"How about Haruka's sister?" Rei asked.

"Haruka had a sister?" Bulma asked.

"A brother and sister." Rei said.

"Okay." Bulma said while taking her sleeping daughter into her arms.

The two friends ended up on Master Roshi's island. 18 was holding Marron's hand as she took wobbling steps on the sand.

"Lady Namoka . . . 18!" Bulma said in shock.

Rei smiled at Bulma's shock. Rei looked at her tough friend's sister and then landed next to the child that was 18 and Krillen's daughter.

"Long time no see Namoka. We need you and your husband to do a favor for us." Rei said.

"What is it?" 18 asked.

"Watch over Princess Midori until Bulma and I return. We're going to get mine and Trunks' daughter back. But with Midori in the way we would have the chance of her being kidnapped also." Rei said.

Master Roshi saw the three converse and thought it'd be a good opportunity to do lil' groping but he was so wrong. He tried to grope on Rei first and get a bloody nose and a trip sky high. He tried Bulma 2nd and ended up in the sea. Then he tried 18 and received a punch from both the technically advanced woman and her husband far, far away

"We thank you for watching over her. Now it's time to go." Bulma said and took out a new transformation tool out of her pocket.

"From the power of the Golden Crystal I summon thy power of Hikari the Tenshi megami. GOLDEN ETERNITY POWER MAKE UP!!!" Bulma yelled in Latin and a new uniform came to her body.

The uniform was all gold like Sailor Galaxia's. She had knee length gold boots, a light green chokie, green earrings, gold gloves, and the burning symbol of Earth on her forehead. Her rod was longer and had many more rings than last time as well as a cloth that floated around it. Finally light green wings came to her back and spread around her.

Rei smirked at Bulma's transformation now curious at to how cool her transformation would look like. She took out the Inferno Crystal, born out of the love for her husband and daughter, and lifted it above her head. A red light came from the crystal as she started to chant in Martian.

"I summon forth the power of Akai, the roaring God of Mars' life force from within this Inferno Crystal. From the power of the Kami no Akai I summon thee forth!! AKAI SENSOO YUME MAKE UP!!!" Rei yelled and her transformation using the Inferno Crystal happened.

Her fuku was red and black. Her skirt was red and a small lining of black was at the tip, her body suit was red as the bows were black, her Mars symbol burned on her forehead while a black chokie came to her neck, black earrings to her ears, and black knee high boots came to her feet. Then red firebird like wings came to her back.

"Lets go." Bulma said.

"Hai!" Rei called and then with her friend started to fly into the setting sun towards the East.

Vegeta and Trunks sensed their mates transform and knew they were looking for the lair of their sworn enemy.

"The idiots." Vegeta said and was ready to storm out of the chamber of time and space but was stopped by Trunks.

"I think they'll be fine. They aren't blind. They wouldn't charge into battle blindly without a plan." Trunks reassured his father.

Vegeta looked at his son and knew that he was stating true facts and settled his anger to a small simmer.

"Rei-chan. Do you think that Trunks and Vegeta will be after us?" Bulma asked.

"Probably but if they know what's best for them they'll just continue training. Because when we find the lair we'll contact them before going into battle." Rei said.

"I was wondering when you'd say that." Bulma said with a sweatdrop. -_-'

Rei turned to glare at her friend and knew that she was just like that cause she knew she was going to say that.

"Bulma. I have a feeling that something is not right about this whole thing." Rei said.

"I know I have that feeling too." Bulma said.

**At Nephrenia's lair**

Nephrenia looked at the child Hikari sleep on the ground. The aging potion was working. She was nearly the age of 20 now. For the last 24 hours when Hikari was in her baby body she cried. She knew she was crying for her mother and felt a bit bad for the child but shoved the sympathy aside and continued the spell.

"First I'll make her kill her own father in front of her mother and then kill her own grandmother and grandfather. I'll let the Mars Goddess to live to see what pain she has put me through." Nephrenia said and laughed evilly as it spread through the whole palace of darkness.
