Summary: Rachel Berry gets in an accident when she was 8 which gave her super powers. 6 years later she starts her first year of high school managing to keep her secret from the student body of McKinley High, but one thing leads to another and the two most popular (lesbian) girls of WMHS find out her secret. What will Rachel do now? Pezberry

When Rachel decided to fight Mr. Mountain, she didn't really any specific plans on how to take him down, so when she realized that flying around Mr. Mountain's head while simultaneously spraying him steadily with fire from her palm would get her nowhere (Mr. Mountain surprisingly has a pretty fast regeneration) she had decided to bring out the big guns. And by 'big guns' she means her super special, super deadly moves, which was born from her sense of theatricality. Back then, when Rachel had mastered her powers to some degree, she had decided that being able to make her flames take shape of whatever she wanted would be a good test of skill. And somehow, after enrolling to karate, kickboxing, and a few other self defense classes, she had decided to incorporate her martial arts moves and her fiery powers to create an even more devastating set of fighting moves. So after a few minutes more of annoying Mr. Mountain, she had decided that it was time to get serious.

Rachel distanced herself from Mr. Mountain's face and spent a small amount of her energy making a giant fireball. The fireball didn't really have much power, but it was certainly enough to distract her opponent. As Mr. Mountain was about to bat Rachel away with one of its large branch arms, Rachel threw the huge fireball right at Mr. Mountain's face. The large figure stumbled and groaned, its face was charred but not by much, Mr. Mountain's face was already starting to heal up. But it was too late. As Mr. Mountain's eyesight cleared, Rachel was nowhere to be found.

"HEY"

The humongous figure looked down in front of him. There she was. Rachel's chocolate brown eyes had changed color; they were now glowing amber with a touch of scarlet red and a soft orange, which resembled the color of a falling star. Her flames were surrounding her like a thick fog. Power seemed to radiate out of Rachel's body and she knew that she should finish Mr. Mountain off soon so that she could go back to looking for Emily, so she decided to just give it all she's got.

The flames converged around Rachel's right hand. At first, it was just a ball of flame but soon enough, it elongated and turned into a spear with its burning blade coming out of a fiery dragon's mouth. The long shaft was made out of crystal that reflected Rachel's flames. Rachel aimed the burning spear at Mr. Mountain's chest, and as soon as the giant took a step forward Rachel launched the spear as hard as she can. The result was quite explosive. Literally. The spear exploded the moment it touched Mr. Mountain's chest, and the impact was so hard that the giant's feet were actually swept off the ground as he (Rachel was pretty sure that Mr. Mountain was a he) landed a few feet away.

Rachel didn't waste a moment as she immediately went in for a follow up. She launched herself in the air and threw a dozen medium-sized fireballs at Mr. Mountain. Smoke and dust was everywhere, which blocked Rachel's vision of the giant. Rachel was about to fly back in to check, but as if on cue, a large boulder flew out of the cloud of smoke and headed straight for Rachel. The girl had barely dodged it, when the second one came at her. Rachel knew she didn't have enough time to dodge it, so she decided to do the next best thing; she punched the incoming boulder as hard as she could. As the bits of rock flew back down, Rachel took a deep breath, puffing her cheeks, and releasing a steady stream of fire from her open mouth to where she thought the giant was below her. Rachel felt satisfied when she heard a loud groan, meaning that she had hit the intended target, and finally clearing out the cloud of dust and smoke. As soon as she saw the giant again, Rachel stopped breathing fire and raised her right hand with her palm facing Mr. Mountain. Rachel focused really hard and slowly, another medium sized fireball formed in front of her palm. This one was a little different though. The fireball had three other mini fireballs circling it. Rachel had aimed carefully before releasing her fireball, and before the first one hit Mr. Mountain, Rachel had already formed another one and fires it. The giant was obviously surprised, and scared by the speed and power of the fire missiles because judging from the large burnt spots and charred branch arms his massive body, Mr. Mountain looked like he couldn't take any more hits from the petite girl who kept firing more and more fireball missiles.

Eventually, the damage became too much, and the giant's burnt form fell to the ground with a large thud.

Rachel half landed- half fell back down to the ground. Her bright flames were dwindled down to almost nothing, her crystal skin was falling apart and her eyes were back to their normal, chocolate brown color. She was breathing hard and her vision was blurring. Rachel took a step forward, but her knees buckled from exhaustion and she fell to the ground as well. She was looking up at the sky as she felt her eyelids getting heavy.

'Maybe I should take a small nap. I'll go look for Emily when I wake up. I'm pretty sure that she hasn't been taken away that far yet…'

Rachel was about to fall asleep, when she heard a crisp rustling sound somewhere to her left. She slowly turned her head to where the sound was coming from, and to her horror, she saw Mr. Mountain's burnt up form slowly get up from the ground. Rachel's eyes were wide as she tried to get up, but her limbs seemed to be made out of lead because all she could do at that moment was to stare horrifically at the giant slowly walked towards Rachel. The girl had never felt extreme fear until that moment as she watched the mountain giant getting closer.

Then something weird happened.

As the giant came closer, its humongous body started shedding its rock skin. Burnt branches and trees on its arms and back were snapping off and falling to the ground, and as if that wasn't enough, Rachel also noticed that Mr. Mountain stopped regenerating back his health. Mr. Mountain kept shedding its skin and Rachel watched mesmerized by what she was seeing. It was like watching a giant, walking mountain collapse and leave traces of itself behind until there was nothing left but a single man standing over Rachel.

He was covered in burns and many other different wounds inflicted by Rachel. His large body was sagging and looked like he was going to pass out at any second, and he was wearing the same type of rags that Mr. Skinny was wearing (Rachel decided to call the other one that, because she was getting sick of calling it creature too) He looked like he was somewhere in his forties, but all of this was lost to Rachel as she finally got a good look at the man's face. His eyes were jade green, and seemed a little unfocused from either exhaustion or madness. Rachel was hoping that it was the latter. Rachel's head was trying to remember when he had seen his face before, but the next words that came out of the man's mouth was enough for Rachel to remember.

"You're that girl from six years ago"

And right there, something clicked inside Rachel's head. This was one of the men who came in with the scientist to take away the meteor six years ago. He was also one of the seven people presumed dead because his body was never found at the ruins of the observatory. Rachel had also realized that Mr. Skinny was the other man with the scientist. Rachel's heart thumped rapidly in her chest as the last thought hit her like lightning.

She wasn't the only person in the world who had powers.

Mr. Mountain released a deep chuckle at Rachel's look of realization, which immediately caused Rachel to try and keep her face blank.

"That's right, little girl, you're not the only one. There are others like you and me out there. They might not be easily spotted, but they're there. Trying to live a normal life, but we both know that that's impossible. Doc sent me and John here to find you and kill you, but you're stronger than we thought. We never realized that you had that much control over your powers, and look at where that got me"

Mr. Mountain gestured at his injured body that seemed to trying to heal itself, but Rachel knew better, judging from the cracks that were slowly appearing on the man's pale white marble body, he didn't have much time to live.

"I really didn't expect this to happen, so I sent John back to Doc with your friend. You're safe for now, but when they realize that you beat me, they're gonna come back to either get rid of you or turn you into another one of his experiments. If I were you I'd run as far away from here as I can. Doc doesn't like getting behind in his schedule."

Rachel was looking at the statue of a man standing over her. The cracks along his body were increasing in number. There were a lot of questions in Rachel's head that were begging to be asked, but there was only one that her mouth spoke out loud.

"Why are you telling me all of this?"

The man of rock smiled, it was a sad smile and it made more cracks around his face.

"For years I've been made into a slave by the Doctor against my will. After kicking my ass, it looks like I finally snapped out of it. I guess you can consider this me returning back the favor."

He took one shuddering breath

"Stay strong. You have a bright future in front of you. Thanks for freeing me, kid"

This was it. Mr. Mountain's body was starting to crumble, but as he took his final breath, he gave the girl lying on the ground one last advice.

"Find the others. It'll help you fight the Doc, besides us Children of the Fire need to stick together"

Rachel watched as the marble body in front of her crumble into dust. A gust of wind blew and took the dust with it. Rachel looked at the spot where Mr. Mountain once stood a full minute ago.

'I didn't even know his name'

The sadness washed over Rachel like a tsunami. Even though she had only spent a few minutes talking to the man, she felt like they were friends. Maybe it was because he was the only other person with powers she had actually talked to, but Rachel knew that because of him, she had finally knew what she would do with her powers. She was going to perfect her skills, master her powers to its absolute best, and she was going to look for others like her. She had questions but she knows that there is someone out there that could answer them, and he's coming to Lima to kill her, but she'll be ready. She's going to avenge the man that was enslaved against his will, and she was sure as hell going to get Emily back. The sadness was still there, but it was slowly overcome by the need for vengeance. After a beat, Rachel realized that her mind was thinking of getting up, but her body was still as heavy as lead. Rachel remembered that she was still exhausted and decided to take a small nap and getting up later. Rachel blinked once, twice before finally falling into a deep exhaustion induced slumber.

…..

Not long after Rachel fell asleep, a lone figure walked into the burnt area where the mountain giant and the teenager fought. He had seen and heard everything. For a moment he was scared that Rachel wasn't going to pull through and he had to interfere, but surprisingly Rachel had defeated the man of marble. He felt a little sad for the other man, but his superior hearing allowed him to hear the police sirens from above the cliff and the road somewhere far behind him.

'I need to get Rachel out of here'

He stood in front of the petite girls' limp body and looked at her for a moment. When the sound of footfalls started getting closer, he picked up her body and swiftly and quietly walked out of the clearing made by Rachel.

Sup guys,

I know it's a little short, but I promise that the chapters are going to get longer when my exams are done, but for now it's probably going to be like this. And I'm pretty sure that I said that in this chapter there will be a PezBerry reunion, but apparently, my big fat mouth (fingers?) was lying. I promise for sure that there will be some PezBerry action next chapter, but not this one. Sorry *sad face*

But anyways, THANKS FOR ALL OF THE REVIEWS, ALERTS AND FAVORITES. I APPRECIATE THEM A LOT.

Also thanks for answering my last question. I guess I'm the only person who goes through the PezBerry archive page by page…

And here's my next question (there's actually two): Who do you think is the man who took Rachel away, and what do you think of Mr. Mountain calling Rachel and himself the "Children of the Fire"?

THANK YOU ALL AND PLEASE DON'T FOR GET TO REVIEW *insert smiley face here*

Next time: The Epic PezBerry Reunion
