Disclaimer I don't own Gundam Wing or sailor Moon, but I do own Kayla…

A/n: yes I know my last chapter was a it long but not always going to be like that. Now that I've introduced the senshi I can thicken the plot some. Remember this plot mainly fallows the Pgsm storyline, but may reflect BBSM in some ways.

Chapter 9

The sound of boots echoed through the still air as a figure hopped from one Rooftop to another. Her eyes and ears were open to every sight and sound as she strained to make out the area around her. Pausing she became tense as the light seemed to give away to darkness. But what got her on the defensive, was that the darkness had taken shape and seemed to be aimed right for her. Concentrating she closed her eyes and her watch face started to glow blue for a moment as she spoke some words, "Mercury Aqua Mist!" as those words left her mouth a thick fog made of ice shot from her body starting at her wrist covering her and canceling her in a thick blank of fogged ice.

Using the distraction to her advantage she hopped back to where she last saw Duo dogging gun fire aimed for her. She could only hope that the fog would slow them down enough. So far it had worked like a charm due to the fact every shot missed its attended target. However, when the mist cleared she found herself having to find another method of fighting back. "shine aqua Illusion!" she screamed and this time a wall of water and ice shot from her temperly freezing the mettle and disabling the wepons aimed at her. Using her mist trick once more, she managed to hide herself in order to detransform and find duo.

However, when she arrived back at the place where she had last seen him, a machine stood high above her advancing. She suspected Duo might be in there since he had spoken to her about having such a machine, but her mind was frozen. She knew without transforming she didn't have a chance against this machine, and with the other one still on her tail she didn't really have a lot of places to run. If Duo was inside then he might see her transform and at this point he couldn't know of her powers. Using what hand to hand she knew she managed to escape getting crushed by the left foot, but that sure didn't leave her with much to do. She was safe for now so she took the time to call for help praying it would find her soon.

Rei sat in her trailer after there last show. The manager had them moving around a lot due to the OZ tropps taking out one colony after another. As she packed up some of her belongings, a strange feeling washed over her much like the one just before she met Trowa. However, this time she was able to maintain some control and the pain wasn't as bad as the last time. It was then her cell phone rang and she could only guess who it could be. Waisting no time, she flipped it open answering the call. "moushi Moushi?"

"I need your help, I'm being attacked by some strange machine, I think they are called Mobile suits, and I'm out matched.. Makoto is stuck in outer space and I can't get to her… and according to her Princess Kayla has gone missing…or so she fears." Ami said her voice hushed and rushed as she tried to avoid both large machines failing to realize that they were no longer after her, but each other.

"The princess… what makes her so sure?" Rei asked her voice raising in slight alrm at this news.

"Makoto has been trying her all day and still nothing. She has left several voice messages as well. I to have tried to call and found nothing, had to leave a few myself. The phone is on and can be traced, but….still… something feels wrong." Ami stated

"I would have to say I'd agree. Where are you?" Rei asked.

"I'm in a place I thin its called L2." Ami replied.

"Ok I'll be there as soon as I can." Rei commented before handing up. As she clicked her phone shut, she heard something. Turning on her heal quickly and came face to face with Trowa.

"Where are you going?" Trowa asked having over heard part of Rei's conversation to Ami.

"I have to help search for a friend. I'll be back as soon as I can." Rei started to say but as she looked into Trowa's eyes, she was finding it harder and harder for her to do. She didn't want to take him with her with him like this, and yet at the same time she didn't want to leave him behind. :Why am I acting like this for some boy: she thought but in her heart she knew the answer. In away she knew what he might have gone through, and after seeing his accident on the news, she also knew how he must be feeling. From what she could tell he had lost his memories and now was searching for who he was. Rei had always known who she was, but due to her lifestyle sometimes it didn't quite feel like that. What with the death of her mother at a young age and being shipped off to live at the temple when her father didn't have time for her coming around only when it made him look good, or she screwed up. One memory hit her hard and for the longest time she had zone out.

When she came out of it Trowa was looking down at her with a concerned look on his face. "Rei what is wrong, maybe you shouldn't go." He told her as he helped her to her bed.

"I'm fine Trowa just spaced out a little bit is all." She tried to reassure him , but he just wasn't buying it today. This wasn't the first time that he had seen her do this, and this was the first time that he was able to stop her from hitting her head.

Maybe you should go another time, you need to rest. You had been working yourself to the bone." Trowa continued.

"I'm sorry but this can't wait. I'll be back as soon as I can." She said getting up from the bed and packing her things.

"your not planning on returning are you?" Trowa asked as a memory flashed through him.

She sighed knowing that she really couldn't lie to him. True it had only been a few days since they had first met, but the two had become fast friends. Aside from the sensi, Rei found that Trowa was a good friend and very easy to talk to. She also knew that if he had all his memories it would only make things better. Placing a soft true smile, one that was reserved for a rare few, she turned to him. "the truth is, yes I plan on returning but I don't know how long this is going to take . I just know that a friend needs me and I need to hurry." She explained.

"then please be careful." Trowa said hugging her tight.

Rei returned the hug and darted out of the trailer and away from the people. Finding a hiding place she transformed adorning the form of Sailor Mars once more her body feeling alive as she welcomed the flames that came with her transformation. Concentrating on the sorce of Ami's last call she teleported over to her only to come face to face with OZ mobile suits.

She ran as fast as her legs could carry her placing a few well placed attacks at the monster sized machines. The machines held up for the most part against the fire, but even after a while they were no match and explosions rang out all around her.

Ami transformed when she heard the explosions and used her ice and watter powers to put out some of the smaller fires in order to clear a path. Off in the distance she could see streams of fire and she hopped those streams were coming from Rei and not from some machine she had yet to see. "Rei!" she called again once and a while mixing with Sailor Mars or Mars as she tried to locate her friend.

Soon enough the two senshi found them fighting side by side like when they were children in a lifetime that seemed so long ago. Soon with the combined teamwork Ami and Rei had cleared the colony of the mobile suits that the were attacking "at least this colony is safe for now….but we now have just gotten a bigger problem on our hands." Rei commented as she looked at their handywork.

"From what Duo has told me most of those suits are from OZ who wants control of all Earth and space. According to him, they seem to be winning." Ami explained.

"That's what I was afraid of.. now that we have fought against OZ…. they are going to be after us before. Meaning we are going to have to work extra hard to keep our search for the princess from them." Rei stated.

"Then we had bettry try and get a hold of Minako and Makoto. I just spoke to Makoto recently and she seems to be alright…but Minako needs to know before she drags into a deeper dubble war until our princess is relocated." Ami commented in agreement.

"Ami! Where are you!" came a male voice from seemingly out of no where.

"Uh oh that's Duo, I had better get back to where he last saw me." Ami said as she detransformed and started back to where she came from Rei close behind.

"Ami! There you are… I'm so glad….your safe. Who is this?" Duo started as his mouth ran a mile a minute.

Ami sighed and waited being used to this for the last two days before she spoke. "This is Rei my friend. She came to help me when some Mobile suits attacked and I'm safe thank you." She finished.

"Nice to meet you, but I must be going." She said darting off and finding a place to teleport before she appeared out side of the place she had been calling home for the past few days. Trowa was already out side of her Trailer waiting for her return and his smile lit up his face upon seeing her. His sister would be mad that she returned but she was going to just have to deal with it. Trowa Hugged her tightly again and moved to say something else but found that he could find the words.

Rei let herself smile at him again before returning to her trailer to unpack. :oh Trowa there is so much and I don't know what to do.: she thought as she glanced down at the item on her wrist that allowed her to become sailor Mars. He couldn't know of her powers yet, but she knew that she would have to tell him. Sighing to herself she watched him return to his own as a rush of emotion came over her.

She tried to hide the tears but her body wasn't on her side. This was the first time she felt so lost and confused and she knew she would have to get through it. The road to reclaiming what was once theres was going to be long and hard, and if she kept her distance then things would work out in the end right?

For several days she made it a point to avoid Trowa or any of the people she had gotten to know during the short time she had been on the colony. When Catherine yelled at her she took it acting as she didn't hear the girl. Trowa started to wonder what was wrong with his friend. When she started to suddenly distance herself from him.

One night after they had moved yet again in order to avoid Oz, Trowa set his sights on finding out. What it was that had Rei acting so strange. She over time had cleared out the OZ troops so they didn't have to move so often, but Trowa thought there was more to it. Then just that. In fact he wasn't even sure if it was Rei doing it. All the news would say was a girl in a short red mini skirt with fire powers was responsible. If Rei new this person or knew something about it, then that would explain why she had been acting so strange. He watched her dart into some trees and he fallowed being sure not to be seen. The woods lit up with a soft flame as the words "Mars power… make up!" rang from rei's lips and Trowa couldn't but stand transfixed at the sight before him. Not wanting himself to be seen just yet, he started to run but he caused a twig to snap.

Rei spon on her heal at the sound of the snapping twig. "Who's there…" she started to call out but she stopped mid shout as her eyes locked on an all to fibular face.
