Okay, I don't own Sailor Moon or any of her friends. But this is my story, and I wrote it all by myself. The storyline is my idea. Even though other fanfic writers have knights and etc., this is my version of things. If you haven't noticed, my pattern......

Fury Arising

Chapter 5- The Kingdom of Mars

"Ah!!!!" screamed Raye as cuts appeared all over her body and a rush of pain engulfed her.

"I forgot to mention that I am more powerful in the physical world!" Ramsera cackled triumphantly.

Raye managed to get up and shouted, "I'll crush you... Mars Star Power!" Raye transformed into Sailor Mars, much to the shock of Chad. The others followed suit. Little Rini came along and also changed. Sailor Mars rested for a moment as the others attacked.

"Mercury Bubbles Blast!" shouted Sailor Mercury. The temple was filled with a thick fog.

"Ha! Clever trick Mercury brat! But even in the fog, I can sense the heat from your bodies and the fire of your souls!" said Ramsera.

"Damn! At least you tired Sailor Mercury," said Sailor Jupiter.

"Eeee! She's so tough," whined Sailor Moon.

"We can't just stand around. Venus Crescent Beam Smash!" shouted Sailor Venus.

Ramsera was hit, but she didn't move. "Fire embers!" Sparks of fire flew through the fog. They were all hit and burned. The fog dissipated and Ramsera admired her handiwork.

"You hurt my friends!" cried Sailor Mars in anger.

"You evil witch!" Chad ran waving his training sword. Ramsera glared at him.

"You! Of course you'd be here." She blasted him.

"Chad! Mars Celestial Fire Surrounded!" The attack hit straight on, but Ramsera was unaffected.

"Chadwick! Prince Chadwick!" The Silver Light called him. Chad was unconscious and floating in outer space.

"Who are you?" he asked the light.

"Let's just say... I'm a friend of Raye's."

Chad knew that Raye's friends were powerful and good. He immediately trusted the light. "Where am I?"

"The depths of your mind. Listen to me. I have an important gift for you. You must use it wisely because you must help the senshi. They are in danger," warned the Light.

"Raye?" he asked with great concern.

"Especially her. Ramsera wants her the most."

"What do I do?" The light glowed more brightly and red sparks emanated from the light. They formed a red crystal.

"Take it." As he grabbed it, the crystal melted into him just like with Greg. "Just say Mars Knight Power!" The voice faded as Chad regained consciousness.

He saw Sailor Mini Moon shouting, "Pink Sugar Heart Attack!" (Note: Rini is now better able to control that attack.) Ramsera used her powers on Mini Moon. Mars ran in front of the little sailor scout when Ramsera threw another blast. Sailor Mars collapsed, writhing in pain. "Grrr!!" His anger bubbled and suddenly the Mars symbol glowed on his forehead. He remembered what the voice said "Mars Knight Power!" The senshi were able to see Chad transform.

Ramsera glared at Mars Knight. "Well if isn't my cousin, Mars knight!"

"Cousin?" The senshi said in unison.

"Don't think that I won't be strong enough?" He pulled out his sword. "Mars Fire Sword Blast!" A stream of fire struck Ramsera.

She shielded herself. "Ha! You pathetic fool!" She threw a blast of energy that sent him flying through the air.

A Silver Light appeared and blinded Ramsera. "Use your planet power and give it to Sailor Mars." They all gave their powers, including the knights.

Sailor Mars felt a surge of energy. "What do I do?" Her aura was glowing with Rainbow colors.

"Ask Princess Rei," was all the Silver Light said as it faded.

"Oh Princess Rei! Mars Princess Transform!" Sailor Mars turned into Princess Rei. "I know what to do."

The Silver Light disappeared. Ramsera's eyes widened as she saw Princess Rei. "You!" She threw a great blast of energy. The Rainbow Aura expanded into a force field that protected her.

"You will pay for your evil and betrayal of Mars!" shouted Princess Rei.

"I will destroy you!" Ramsera turned into a great, glowing goddess.

"Mars Planet Power!" Her aura's great blast was too strong for Ramsera. The struggle was soon over. Ramsera was completely drained of her power. Princess Rei's aura glowed red as she returned the scouts' powers. "Sailor Moon!"

"Right Princess Rei. Moon... Scepter... Elimination!"

"AHHHH!!!" screamed Ramsera in agony as she faded into dust. They all gathered around Princess Rei. Mars knight went to Princess Rei and she took his two hands. Her bright, red aura glowed and engulfed them.

They were in a palace made of red crystal. Unlike the vision of the Mercury kingdom, they re-experienced everything and remembered their modern identities. It was Princess Rei's birthday and they were at the palace on Mars celebrating it. "Serena, Ami, Lita, Mina!" The girls gathered in a group hug. The knights handed her their gifts. They kissed her hand and she kissed them on the cheek. The royal young people were the first guests to arrive.

"So where's your knight, Rei?" asked Serena.

"Mars knight? Sir John is dead," said Princess Rei sadly.

"Ohmigod! I didn't know! He didn't make it!" Serena cried a little in sympathy. John was injured severely in a skirmish with the Rebel king Mimidon.

"I'm amazed King Ares would allow the party with the rebels on Phobos and Deimos. They could try to attack," pointed Princess Ami. The others agreed.

"I know. But you know my father. He will not let anyone intimidate him. Besides, he won't have himself look like an incompetent ruler who can't control the rebels," sighed Princess Rei.

"I don't understand why Mimidon has to be such a meanie," said Princess Serenity. Everyone had sweat drops at her use of the word "meanie".

"Sure Serena. Mimidon was in-love with my mother, but she married my father. Mimidon is the prince of Phobos and Deimos. He wants revenge by taking over the kingdom. He gathered his forces and has help. Dark powers," said Princess Rei with worry.

"Oh Rei, if you even need us, we'll be there," smiled Princess Lita. They all nodded in agreement.

"You know that I will," said a friendly voice. They turned around to see a young man in a prince's costume walked into the ballroom.

"Presenting his grace, Prince Chadwick, Duke of Spartan," announced the chamberlain. The young Duke presented Rei with his gift and kissed her hand.

"Prince Chadwick! I wasn't certain if you would come," she blushed a little. The others noted the change in her face. (The stories go that Chadwick and Rei met when they were kids just like Ami and Gregory. They had a slight puppy love that blossomed to true love.)

"Here's your gift. Open it," he told her. She carefully unwrapped the gift. She saw that it was a red wind chime.

"It's lovely," Princess Rei's eyes sparkled as she touched the chimes. They jingled and she smiled.

"Actually, they belong to your mother." Rei looked at him with surprise. "It was a gift to my mother when they were young priestesses. I thought you might have wanted them."

"That's so thoughtful."

"Well kids, time to start the party." Princess Rei's grandfather shouted. With that, they split into couples and danced.

It was a month later when they destroyed Mimidon. Mimidon was trapped in the city gates of the Martian capital city. He was dying of a severe laser blast and the Sailor Senshi confronted him with Mars Knight. "What have you got to say for yourself?" demanded Sailor Mars.

"Princess. You will destroy me. It is just as well." He was glaring at them.

"You will pay for all the deaths in this crazy war." Sailor Mars was infuriated. He had been responsible for the death of her friend, Sir John, and many of her subjects.

"Well you are truly your mother's daughter. That is the one thing that I admire you for, lady."

"I cannot say the same for you."

"One thing princess. Before I die, I will have you know the name of a traitor who has been helping me."

"Who's that?"

"Ramsera." He breathed his last.

He had divulged the identity of his main ally. "Ramsera?" Prince Chadwick was still shocked for days.

Ramsera was a priestess in the Mars Temple with Rei. Ramsera was also Chadwick's cousin. She had been like a big sister to him. He loved her deeply and was horrified at the news of her betrayal. "It can't be true! That bastard Mimidon is lying."

"Oh Chadwick. I don't want to believe it myself. I just think that it may explain things, a little," Princess Rei said quietly.

"Like what?" he screamed at her. He realized what he did and apologized.

"Well, it's just that the strange attacks on all of us. Serena and the others have been assaulted by warriors that use psychic powers to lower their defenses. These are powers only a temple priestess could possess," explained Rei.

"Let's talk to Ramsera."

Ramsera kneeled before the great flame of the Martian temple. Her back was toward Rei and Chadwick. "Rammy," called Chadwick by her nickname.

She stood and turned to them with a friendly smile. "Yes, my Prince."

"You can stop playing games now, Ramsera," said Rei with authority.

"What do you mean?" asked Ramsera with innocence.

"You are Mimidon's ally. I just want to know why," continued Rei, ignoring Ramsera's comment.

"I don't know what you're talking about," she said reassuringly. She looked intently at the two royals, and her eyes were burning with great intensity.

"When we defeated those warriors that attacked the other princesses, they had a tattoo on their right arms. At first, I had no clue what they meant. When we killed Mimidon, I realized something," began Rei.

"What would that be?" Ramsera asked.

"The tattoos are symbols of service. Your symbol as a priestess of this temple!" concluded Rei.

"Well you know my secret," smirked Ramsera.

"But why?" Prince Chadwick finally accepted her confession.

"Of her!" She pointed accusingly at Rei. "She was born with a great destiny and power to match. Why should this royal brat get such greatness, while I am destined to be nothing?"

"You would surrender all our lives for your selfish desires!" Chadwick was infuriated with her.

"And you think you can stop me!" Ramsera glared at them. She summoned a strong wind to blow at them.

"I can fight fire with fire. Mars Power!" Princess Rei transformed into Sailor Mars. Prince Chadwick shouted "Mars Knight Power!" They were ready to fight.

"Do you honestly believe that your pathetic powers will stop me? I have great power from a force greater than you!" She threw an energy bomb at them.

"She's powerful!" cried Sailor Mars.

"Together we can stop her!" They joined hands and they glowed. Mars Knight gave her his power.

"The powers of Mars flow through me! I call on the power of Mars!" A silk with a spell appeared and was thrown on her forehead. "With the power of Mars, I banish you to a place where you will harm no one of this universe! Mars Divination power!"

A portal opened and dragged Ramsera screaming. "I will have my revenge!"
