The Real World: Tokyo

Chapter 21: Dark Flare's reawakening...Rei is back?

Wufei, Heero, and Trowa were in the huddle that formed moments after the controlled Rei, Makato, and Hotaru disappeared. "What are we going to do?" Usagi asked her scouts while still crying. "We have to get them back." Ami said. "I agree but just saying it won't help us." Heero said. "I think it's time we were able to help too." Wufei said. "Nani?" The girls said in question. "We have powers too and we'll use them." Trowa said. Ami looked at Quatre sadly and then back to Trowa. "Trowa I know you love Makato but you must take into account she is with the enemy." Ami said. Trowa looked at his sister and nodded his head. 'I understand your feelings brother demo we have to defeat them now that they are on the side of the enemy.' Ami thought. With the thought of having to kill Rei in his mind Heero was going mental inside, emotions screaming. "Everything would have been different if she was with me as a child." He said aloud. The pilots all looked at Heero knowing what he meant while the girls looked at him confused. There would be no explanation about the gundams or things as that for that week.

**A Week Later**

There were no attacks from anyone for a whole week and the scouts plus the guys wondered if they had something up their sleeves that they've been coming up with. "Man I hate just sitting here while my sister is on the side of evil!" Wufei yelled. Heero stood up and nodded his head to his friend's outburst. "I am sick and tired of doing nothing either." Trowa said. Minako looked at the three men and frowned slightly. Being the Goddess of Love was a job that she wished she never had and knew that these men loved their family and girlfriends very much. She stood up. "I am about sick and tired of just sitting here. I think it's time we do something. Ami has found one of their bases a bit of a distance from here lets go." Minako said. The scouts smiled at Ami as she stood up. "Well since we all have voiced our opinions we shall now comince on our plan." Ami said taking Heero's laptop and got into a program she installed with the use of her Mercury Computer. "Ok, the base of the enemy where they are keeping Rei, Makato, and Hotaru hostage is here. We have already guessed that there are a lot of guards mostly Youmas so we have came up with a plan demo we need everyone to do a part." Ami said. After agreements were heard Ami explained the plan and then Operation Rescue Senshi started.

Within the darkness three certain former senshi were in their shared living quarters in a whirlwind of confusion. "So we all had the same type of dreams of guys which we attacked and seem to know. What does it mean?" Dark Flare asked. "I don't know demo, when that Prince of Mercury touched me I felt warm inside. I don't know why but it's like I know that guy." Dark Thunder said. "I know I had the same reaction to that Prince of Jupiter." Dark Flare said. "Ditto demo, it wasn't a guy but some women in the background. Like I'm part of them like a family or something." Dark Destruction said. Dark Flare felt herself shaking as the same dream from the last week came to her.

***Flashback*** Dark Flare was in a space of fog trying to find her way out of the fog. She heard a voice suddenly, which made her turn around and face that same man she fought with. The tall Chinese with hair as black as a raven's wing, Onyx eyes, and a gentle façade covered in that of high pride and honor. "Rei." He said to her grabbing her and holding her in an unbreakable embrace. "My Rei, my Pryo, please come back to me. I love you." The man said to her many times as he held Dark Flare to him. Dark Flare started to feel tears prickle in her eyes. 'Why is it my heart screams for me to tell this man that I love him?' Her thoughts raced. "You aren't evil or dark, you are my light, please wake up from the darkness and come back to me and your brother." The man said. "Brother?" She questioned the man. The man tilted her chin up and looked at her straight in the eyes. Dark Flare felt warm to look at the dark eyes. "Please my princess. Come back to me, your brother, and friends." The man said and claimed her lips softly. Dark Flare felt a comfort from the man as the warmth spread throughout her body. 'I know you and not in the way of an enemy.' Dark Flare thought responding to the sweet kiss. ***End of Flashback***

"Yo, Flare! You in there?" Dark Thunder asked. Dark Flare blinked and then looked at her friend. "I'm here." Dark Flare said. "We were given the order to attack those of the White Moon again so lets go Dark Destruction is already waiting on the front line." Dark Thunder said tears welling in her eyes from a same type of dream Dark Flare had except with a certain Mercury Prince. The best friends headed out to the front lines to see the Sailor Senshi there along with the Planetary Princes. "Well, well, we didn't have to chase after you. How convenient." Dark Flare said. Wufei looked at Dark Flare and knew inside Rei was in there feeling pain and sorrow. Dark Thunder caught eyes with Trowa and then turned away. "You three are totally supposed to be on our side!" Eternal Sailor Moon said. "Whatever Princess of the White Moon, we are on the side of our mistress." Dark Destruction said. Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto looked at their 'daughter' and then looked at Dark Thunder, and Dark Flare seeing their friends through the darkness. Wufei got in front of the group and challenged Dark Flare. Dark Flare smirked and then said..I accept your challenge Prince of Jupiter. Trowa challenged Dark Thunder and she accepted as well and the two pairs started to fight each other. 'Everything is going according to plan.' Ami thought and then along with the others fought the youma army while Wufei and Trowa fought their romance interests to bring them back to the side of good. Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto walked up to Dark Destruction and started to fight her wanting to bring their daughter back to their side.

Wufei noticed Dark Flare wasn't focused and saw a glaze of confusion in her eyes towards him and could read her thoughts. 'Why do I feel like in the dream again? Like I know him as a friend..no as something more than that?' Dark Flare thought. Wufei got Dark Flare in a hold and felt her skin to feel it was also cold like Trowa described when he touched Makato. Dark Flare felt her breath catch up in her throat as she felt Wufei touch her. Her body reacted strangely. Her skin felt like it was on fire, a sensation she felt in the dream also. 'Why do I feel this? I am so confused.' Dark Flare thought. Wufei knew he would have to use his powers against her so he started to charge up a ball of energy to attack her. Dark Flare charged up an attack also as soon as Wufei released her. Tears started to well in her eyes again as if she heard a voice inside scream to stop. Wufei launched his attack straight towards Dark Flare while Dark Flare released her attack. The two attacks canceled each other out but caused a huge explosion. Dark Flare was flung back in one direction while Wufei was thrown the other direction. Dark Flare his her head on a tree knocking her unconscious but unknown to the watching Megan brought the spell of brainwashing to an end. Wufei sat up after feeling a pain come from his chest. He looked over in Dark Flare's direction to see her in a ball with blood trickling down the side of her mouth. He as well as Heero ran up to Dark Flare's unconscious body. Wufei picked up Dark Flare's pale skinned hand to feel that it was no longer cold but warm. Heero saw Dark Flare's head smack the tree and felt the vertebra of her neck to feel none were out of place and gave Wufei the ok to pick her up. Wufei picked Dark Flare up and started to walk towards the senshi.

Dark Flare moaned slightly feeling a throbbing pain in her neck, but felt warm and snuggled to the warmth. Wufei heard Dark Flare moan and felt her snuggle against him and smirked to see that she was ok. Dark Flare opened her eyes slowly to meet onyx eyes and a gentle façade. "Rei, are you ok?" Wufei asked. Dark Flare now knew who Rei was. It was her. And looked at the senshi. And knew they weren't her enemies. She looked at Heero. She felt tears start to well in her eyes to see her brother there with emotion in his eyes. Rei was back. 'I guess her hitting her head on that tree broke the brainwashing spell. Thank god you are ok my little sister.' Heero thought and knew Wufei won't let him near her. The Dragon prince of Jupiter was worried since last week more than he himself over his sister's well being. Rei looked at Wufei to feel happiness in her. She wrapped her arms around his neck and stayed there scared of being taken by the darkness again if she let go of Wufei. Wufei looked down at the young woman in his arms and smirked. He then felt warm droplets of water landing on his shoulder and looked down to see Rei crying and shaking in his arms. "Pryo what's wrong?" Wufei asked soothingly to her. Right then an evil laughter rung in the air. All the senshi and guy (-Rei) looked up to see Megan there. "You are such a weak vessel Mars. You shall die and then your friends I have shall die also." Megan said and a red light zoomed in on Rei and zapped her making her start floating from Wufei's arms. "NO I DON'T WANT TO GO!" Rei screamed in great fear. Wufei and Rei's hands were clasped together but then their grips loosened. Their fingers barely touched now as Rei was being pulled away from Wufei again, and pulled away from her brother and friends.

Megan smirked evilly, now going to go through with her threat. Rei stopped crying suddenly as she looked at her friends, her brother, and Wufei. "I love you all." She whispered as one last tear pedaled down her pale face and into the air to fall to the ground. "DIE!!!" Megan yelled. The scouts watched in horror...as the evil sister of Nephrenia's took a long sword and a dark energy orb and slashed Rei's arm off and threw the orb at her. Blood was everywhere as Rei was killed. Wufei and Heero stopped breathing. 'No sister.' Heero thought, while red started to illuminate off his body. His emotions started to pour out now. He saw his sister murdered right before his eyes yet again, just like in the Silver Millennium. Wufei knew his sister would be fated in the same way and looked wide-eyed at the blood that trickled to the ground. Rei's dead body started to glow, a small star-like object came from her body and flew down to Wufei. The tear touched the small object making it glow brightly. 'Pryo, my princess..she was screaming for help but why did she allow herself to be killed?' Wufei thought and opened his eyes to see the star seed from Rei turned into a katana. Usagi was crying to see Megan kill her loyal senshi and then screamed making the earth shake around her.

The guys looked at Usagi to see her moon insignia glowing a violent gold. "I promise I will avenge you Rei I swear you'll do have to stay in there as a lost soul again. I'll bring you back." Usagi said as she was embraced by Duo. Duo held his sister, as she wept hard. Her crystal was now not full of light for there being 1 dead senshi, and 2 dark senshi. Wufei just looked at the katana and did nothing. Holding the grief within him, he loved her and never told her how much she meant to him. Heero looked at Megan as Rei's body faded, anger in him. As soon as his emotional barriers fell a flame engulfed sword formed in his hands, memories of his sister's horrible lives and happy moments fresh in his mind he jumped up and attacked Megan knowing that if he didn't do anything all the girls would be dead and the pain would expand to his friends for loosing their sister's and girlfriends. Usagi watched as Heero slashed Megan's arm off to see rage beyond any she had ever saw and knew for once that he had more emotion than he was showing he only had to be shoved very hard for it all to come out. 'If I have to watch Makato die like Rei, my Pryo just did then I better kill Megan now so she doesn't have to go either she's the only thing left now.' Wufei thought and with the katana made by Rei's star seed he jumped up and with Heero attacked Megan. Dark Thunder looked at Wufei and was already crying to see her friend get killed. 'I want to be on their side there is love and kindness while there is only coldness and hatred on this side.' She thought. Suddenly Dark Thunder was engulfed in a green light. Her side of light was letting her return to her normal self. Megan yelled in rage and tried to send an attack at Makato to kill her but the attack was dodged. Dark Destruction now knew why she felt like she didn't belong, she was engulfed in a purple light and returned to Hotaru.

The two senshi now returned from the darkness under one of their friends' sacrifice. The remembered her last words she spoke in telepathy..."I know my death will not be in vain. Please Makato watch over Wufei and my brother and Hotaru please find a way for us not to use your forbidden attack to bring everything back to order. You two are my dear friends and I know my death will bring you back. Farewell." Makato was radiating with rage to know her friend's sacrifice brought her back but she was made that the enemy did such a thing to someone whom was just starting to let go of the horrible past. "I won't let your death be in vain either way my friend I swear that." Makato said as she glowed a green and a brooch formed in her hands. Hotaru glowed purple as a brooch formed in her hands as well. The other senshi found themselves holding brooches in their hands. "I give you these. It was my purpose to die and give you your new transformations. I'm sorry." They all heard Rei said in telepathy. "Lets go!" Usagi yelled. "Hai." The girls said.

"Sanctity Cosmos Power Make Up!!!" Usagi yelled.

"Venus Eternal Power Make Up!!" Minako yelled.

"Jupiter Eternal Power Make Up!!!" Makato yelled.

"Mercury Eternal Power Make Up!!" Ami yelled.

"Pink Moon Sanctity Power Make Up!!" Chibi-Usa yelled.

"Uranus Eternal Power Make Up!" Haruka yelled.

"Neptune Eternal Power Make Up!!" Michiru yelled.

"Pluto Eternal Power Make Up!!" Setsuna yelled.

"Saturn Eternal Power Make Up!!" Hotaru yelled.

The guys watched as the senshi turned into the new power stages to see rage in their eyes. "If this was your purpose then we shall take this as a thank you, Rei-chan." Usagi said and then a new wand came to her hands. "LETS GO SENSHI!!" She yelled. All the senshi sprouted wings from their backs and flew up to fight the army of Youmas that appeared suddenly. The guys watched as the newly powered up senshi kicked the Youmas asses. Megan retreated after her army was defeated and the senshi collapsed to the ground exhausted. Makato looked at the dark sky and knew Rei was watching over them as always. The mystery of her behavior was gone, she was the Missiah of War and gave powers to those of good and her sacrifice was her soul purpose for being on Earth. "Now we know but it's too late." Usagi said. The senshi looked at the sky and pictured the fire senshi yelling at Selenity for letting her die without finishing the fight and laughed.

End of Chapter 21
