Rei raised her head slowly, turning and looking around cautiously.

 

“Rei…” a cool breeze brushed against the priestess face, causing her to shudder. She turned her head around slowly in another direction, and what she saw caused her face to turn a ghastly white.

 

“Oh my God…” She stared upon the transparent figure of her princess. A shiver ran throughout her body, making her blood run cold. This couldn't be her princess she looked so…dead and…empty. Her eyes were dark and her lips were thin, her skin was a ghastly white. Where was the tall regal figure her princess had grown to be…who was this?

 

“Serena?”

 

Serena nodded, tears sprinkling down her face. She looked behind her, seeing something Rei could not see. “I don't have much time.” She looked down at her best friend. “Rei, you've got to save us.”

 

Rei stood quickly to her feet. “You all are alive?! How…? Where are you?!”

 

Serena's ghostly figure began to fade quickly. “I can't explain what happened right now, all I can say is that we're within Chaos's castle…or rather his dungeon.” Her voice began to tremble. “He's torturing us.”

 

She looked behind her again and her eyes widened, quickly turning to the priestess. “You have to get us out of here,” Tears poured down her face in twin rivulets. “Hurry! He's going to kill us all.” She turned behind her once again, this time taking a step back. “You have to find Kame.” She gave Rei one last lingering look. “He'll help you.”

 

Serena disappeared, leaving Rei alone, her own tears coursing down her cheeks.

 

“Serena…” She whispered brokenly, sinking down to her knees once again, her nails digging into the wooden floor beneath her. She closed her eyes tightly; she had to find this Kame guy. She had to save her friends from being killed.

 

She huddled her self in a corner, body pressed against the wall. She wrapped her arms around her legs, resting her cheek upon her knees. She closed her eyes; she wanted to go home…she wanted things back to the way they were. She missed her grandpa…and missed the great fire. She furrowed her brows; she needed the great fire. She had to clear her mind she needed answers.

 

Though, she will not get anywhere without finding this Kame guy.

 

*~*~*~*~*~*

 

ChiChi waved her guest goodbye and then made her way to the couch where Goten lay asleep. She gently picked him up and brought him to his bedroom. She stripped him down to his under garments, tucked him in, and lovingly kissed his forehead. She soothingly ran her fingers through his hair, and then made her way out of his room.

 

She passed by her bedroom door and saw Goku was already sound asleep. She shook her head with a smile. “Training hard really wears you down.” She whispered to herself. She was ready to enter the room and follow her husband's pursuit to the land of dreams, when she heard something. Stopping in her tracks, she intently listened to her surroundings, and once again heard the noise.

 

She turned away from her bedroom door, and began to make her way down the hallway towards Rei's bedroom. She pressed her ear against the door and heard what appeared to be weeping. ChiChi frowned and gently knocked on the door. “Rei, honey, are you ok in there?”

 

When no response was made, ChiChi quietly opened the door and was met with darkness. Letting her eyes adjust to the dark room, she scanned the area and soon spotted the Senshi of Fire huddled up in a corner. ChiChi stepped in to the room, closing the door behind her. She made her way towards Rei, and kneeled down before the distraught girl.

 

She laid a hand upon Rei's shoulder, and the young woman jumped startled. She looked around with wide eyes and soon the settled them upon ChiChi who held a look of concern. ChiChi brought out a hand and gently caressed Rei's tear stained face. “What's wrong?”

 

Un-expectantly, Rei jumped forward and buried her face into ChiChi's bosom, heart wrenching sobs wracking her body. ChiChi nearly fell over from the un-expectant weight. She wrapped her arms around Rei and soothingly rubbed her back, desperately trying to calm her down.

 

“Rei, talk to me. What's wrong?”

 

Rei sniffled, and closed her eyes. “I have to talk to Kame.”

 

ChiChi stiffened at the mention of the old guardian of earth. She furrowed her brows as she looked down upon the priestess. “Rei, how do you know Kame.”

 

“My princess…she told me that I have to find him. He's the only one who can help me. He can help me rescue my friends.”

 

ChiChi's heart felt heavy, hearing the desperation in Rei's voice. “Kame…isn't with us anymore.”

 

Rei pushed herself away from ChiChi with a violent rage. “You lie! He has to be, Serena wouldn't have asked for him.” She began to pace the room, hands bawled up into tight fists. “I have to save them; they're going to die if I don't.”

 

She cast her eyes to ChiChi, who stared upon her intently. “Please ChiChi, you have to help me.”

 

ChiChi stood to her feet, running her fingers through her bangs. She cocked a brow, and then looked upon the distraught priestess. “Look, Kame had passed a long time ago…” she raised a hand before Rei could interrupt. “But I do know someone who may be of some help.”

 

Rei tilted to her head to the side, becoming interested with what the woman was saying. ChiChi continued when Rei kept silent. “His name is Dende, he took the place of Kame a while back, and I believe he can help you.”

 

Rei suddenly grinned widely, and squealed. “When can I see him?”

 

“Tomorrow morning. You need to rest and replenish some of your energy.” ChiChi stood to her feet and made her way towards Rei's bed. She padded the bed with one hand, and waved Rei over with the other. “Come along child, you need to sleep.”

 

Rei sulked, making her way to the bed. “But, I want to go now.”

 

“No ma'am,” stated ChiChi firmly. “You will sleep now, and go in the morning. No buts.”

 

Rei nodded, stifling a yawn. She turned over as her eyes began to close against its' will. ChiChi smiled and decided it was time for her too, to go and get some much needed sleep. She exited the room and closed the door behind her. She leaned upon it heavily and closed her eyes. “Oh Dende, please help her.”

 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

 

The room was dark and cold. The air was stale, and smelled of death. Chained to the wall was a young woman, who shivered violently and pressed her legs closer to herself for warmth. Her once healthy silver hair was matted with filth; her face was sunken in from the lack of food. Various wounds covered her frail body from a torture session that was held only a few moments before.

 

She weakly raised her head, and her eyes narrowed on the rattling door. She whimpered pitifully when the door swung open viciously. One of Chaos's guards smiled down up her with an evil glint in his eyes. He slowly made his way towards her, as she tried to disappear within the cold stone wall.

 

He reached out, grabbed her by the hair, and raised her to her feet. He laughed as she cried out in pain, and he unlocked the chains from her wrists. With a tight hold of her hair, the guard dragged the screaming woman out of the room.

 

He made his way into another room and took the screaming woman inside with him, chaining her to the wall in the process. The room was dark and cold like the other one, and the guard yanked on the woman's hair, making her sit instantly. Suddenly a light came on, and the woman focused her eyes upon someone lying on some sort of device. The woman squinted her eyes and noticed that it was Sailor Saturn. “Hotaru?” she whispered brokenly.

 

Hotaru looked around her, fear present on her young features. She lay on some sort of table that bounded her hands and legs. Her eyes suddenly settled upon the one who whispered her name, and her eyes widened. “Princess!”

 

Serena tried to stand to her feet, but the guard yanked on her hair, making her sit still. Suddenly another light came on and another guard with an executioner mask on stood over Hotaru. He cocked his head and eyed Hotaru, and began to cackle. He ran a gloved hand across her face. “Well aren't you a pretty one.” He whispered harshly.

 

He ran his thumb over her chapped lips, and Hotaru took this time to open her mouth and bite down on his thumb as hard as possible. The executioner let out a started yelp, and back handed Hotaru across the face as hard as he could. A loud `crunch' was heard as Hortaru's nose shattered. The executioner growled angrily, “How dare you bite me!” He suddenly gave off an onslaught of punches upon the young girl's face.

 

With a nod of satisfaction, seeing Hotaru's face caked in blood, he stepped towards a huge wheel that was behind the contraption Hotaru laid on and began to turn it. Hotaru began to scream as the ropes that bounded her arms and legs began to pull in opposite directions.

 

A few moments passed and the executioner suddenly stopped. Hotaru's screams echoed off the stone walls, and could be heard throughout the entire castle. The executioner looked towards the other guard who was in the room. “One more turn and she's done for.” The other guard smirked, nodding. “Finish her off.”

 

Hotaru slowly turned her head towards her princess, blood ever so slowly dripping off her face and splashing unto the cold concrete floor. “Serena…me and the scouts…we will always be with you. Stay strong, Rei is coming for y…” was all she could say.

 

A large snap was heard as Hotaru's spine was severed. The Senshi of Saturn laid her wide eyes upon her princess, choking on her own blood. Silent tears rolled down Serena's face, as she started to shake her head wildly. The executioner gave off a loud cackle and continued to turn the wheel. Hotaru body severed completely in half, and the blood splashed around the room like a tidal wave of water.

 

Serena released a blood curdling scream, Hotaru's blood dripping off of her face.
