Chapter 83: Glimpse of the Future
Rini jumped at the sound of her name. Instantly, fear took control and she began to run towards the safety of the castle. Against her will, and to her horror, her legs simply stopped. Tried as she could, she wasn't able to get her feet to move. Silent tears ran down her cheeks. She was helpless.
"Hello, Small Lady. I am Wiseman." The hooded figure said as he floated in front of the frightened girl. Let the brainwashing begin.
Wounded and breathing heavily, Bob floated above the chattering group of happy teenage girls. He glared at them hatefully as he gripped the huge grash in his chest-the result of Saturn's sword. Anger filling his eyes he swore to get revenge: on the whole group of them.
As he brought his hands forward for what would surely be thier death: the sound of engines caused him to look behind him....just in time to see the capsule corps hoverplane hit him dead on.
Bulma looked around as she felt a light thud on the outside of the plane. "Stupid birds." She mumbled as she began to land the plane.
Rose smiled as her friends told her of thier adventures. After numerous introductions, she felt as if her head was spinning faster than when she and Trunks visted that amusement park.
"So." Marron said as she lifted the tips of Rose's shoulder-length hair. "What brought this on? I thought you swore you'd never cut your hair."
"Well, you see..." Rose said, as a blush crept up her cheeks. "Trunks thought..."
"Who?" The four asked/demanded as they surrounded her. "You and he must have gotten close." Marron smirked as she whispered to the huddled girls. "How far have you gotten?"
"What?!" The black-haired girl exclaimed.
"Is he cute?" Laura asked as the girl's blush increased.
Amanda looked around, "Is he here?"
Rose nodded silently. "Yeah, he's here." She pointed to the forementioned boy, who was talking to Vegeta and Goku, she couldn't help but notice his glance over her way everysooften.
"Oo! Does he have a brother?" Rachel asked, "He's hot!"
Trunks' face heated when he overheard that comment from one of the four girls that Rose was talking too. From what she had told him, he figured out their names. A light whirling noise came from overhead and he glanced up in time to see his mother's capsule corps plane land a few hundred yards from them. "Look like our ride's here."
"Where's Rini?" Sailor Moon asked, as she and the other scouts stood in the large hallway that led to the main entrance.
The other scouts looked around them as they spoke of not seeing the missing girl in some time. "Do you think we should look for her?" Venus asked.
Tuxedo Mask shook his head. "No. She probably needs some time to herself, she was pretty upset earlier. Besides, she's safe inside the castle."
Little did any of them know, she was no longer in the castle's safe walls...
Rini's pink eyes widened in terror as the hooded figure ran his dark clammy hand across her cheek.
"Poor child." Wiseman said in a soft voice. "Misunderstood by your loved ones, ignored by the ones you care most for, and abandoned by your family."
"A-abandoned?"
"Of course child. Why else do you think that sister of yours shoved you off to the past? It was because she didn't want the burden of caring for you. She wanted you out of the picture so she focus on her own selfish needs and disires. You were just an annoyance in her eyes."
The five-year old's eyes widened. "No! Its not true! Sissy doesnt think that! Mommy and Daddy love me!"
The hooded figure smirked as a wicked idea entered his head. 'I'll just plant some false memories in her head, it won't be hard...'
Rini screamed and clutched her head as the elder entered her mind, violating her most secret memories...
VISION
Rini skipped home from school, eager to get to see her sissy. Today was the day! It was the day that Sissy promised to take her with the Sailor Stars to see the new movie that was just opening, "The Legend of Sailor Moon"
She reached the front door of the castle and was just about to open it when she heard voices from the other side. Sliding the door open a crack, she listened in.
"I can't believe you invited that brat to come along, Rose."
"I know, guys, my mom said for me to get her away from the castle for a while."
"It sounds like the queen is as sick of the meneic as we are."
"Yeah, I know. That's all I hear, 'Get that brat outta here! I can't stand her!' It drives my nerves."
Rini's eyes opened wide and she felt tears beginning to form. 'What? Sissy...and the girls...don't like me?' Turning her back to the door, she uddered a cry and ran.
END VISION
As the memory passed, anger filled the eyes of the small child. Somehow, that thought had escaped her memory, thank goodness Wiseman was here to refresh that day. As dark energy swirled around her, more visions entered her mind. Finally, she was ready. Ready to turn to the dark side, to avenge herself for something that was not done. For Rini, the loveable pink-haired kindergardener was gone, and in her place stood Wicked Lady.
Finally, Rose turned back her covers and slipped into bed. She didn't know what it was, but after the last battle, she felt drained. Maybe a good night's sleep was all she needed. As she closed her violet eyes, she sighed happily as she recalled the plane ride home, her leaning contently on Trunks' shoulder while David continued filling in the girls. It seemed the newcomers were different in thier ways, but had plenty of strengths. Perhaps, they would help with the fight against Bob and his gang. Somehow, with all the extra help, they could find a way to get them to thier respective worlds. And her to her own, where everyone was waiting...and Rini.
Rose sighed as she thought of what her little sister was up to as she fell into the peaceful world of sleepers. "Rini."
