Disclaimer: I do not own the rights to Sailor Moon, Robotech, or their characters, so please don't sue me. I have altered the aspects in which the Generals appear in this story once more. Originally many of you who have read the original version, know that I cloned all four Generals. Well now only three of them will be cloned while the fourth is a traitor. Also, I do not own the character of Ryoku/Jason Kino. This character belongs to Jason C. Ulloa who is the author of Sailor Moon AR: The Earth Scout Chronicles. The name Tranquility and the look of Sailor Sun belongs to Jendra who is the author of the fanfic's known as 'Sailor Moon Universal' & 'Sailor Moon Universal B'. This series is based on both my original Robotech Warriors series and Chibi Halo's Sailor Moon Macross. I am still going to write my original Robotech series, I just thought people might like to see a little bit of an Alternate Reality version to it. The names of the Generals are now Knave, Nathan, and Jared. These names were thought up by my other friend and fellow author named Twin Kats. I have also gone back and changed some of the character relations and their personalities. Now not only will she be smart but Serena will hardly ever get in trouble. This will be the new reason her brother Sammy makes fun of her. Please bare with me as I work on this story, I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoy writing it!

Robotech Warriors: The Early Years

The next morning Zoisite was pacing in her private chambers wondering what Queen Beryl would do to her for her lose yesterday when Malacite entered the room.

"Zoisite, Queen Beryl demands your presence in the throne room right now!" Malacite ordered.

"Yes of course Malacite I'm coming!" Zoisite said following the other General out of the room.

A few minutes later both Generals were standing before Queen Beryl. The queen as at that moment gazing down into the floating crystal ball before her while waving her hands over it in order to see what had happened during the previous mission. A second later, she looked up and stared at both Generals with a cold angry look in her eyes.

"Zoisite, you are a pathetic little fool!" Beryl roared down at the female General, causing her to jump back a little bit. "I thought I told you to bring back the Rainbow Crystal, but thanks to your blunder during the last mission, that fool Tuxedo Mask has the blasted Crystal now! What do you have to say for yourself?"

"Please your highness I apologize for my failure and I promise to do better!" Zoisite said, bowing low to one knee.

"You'd better Zoisite! For your own sake! Now begin looking for the next crystal!" Beryl ordered, glaring down at the other woman.

"Yes my queen! Black Crystal show me who has the next Rainbow Crystal!" Zoisite said throwing the black crystal out in front of her. A minute later a picture of a teenage boy came into view.

"This shall be my next target!" Zoisite said aloud.

"Then proceed Zoisite!" Beryl commanded her.

"At once your highness!" Zoisite said before leaving the room.

"Do you think Zoisite shall pull off this mission?" Malacite asked.

"Time shall tell Malacite there are after all still five crystals to retrieve even if those sailor brats manage to get most of the crystals we shall find a way to get them back! Besides why do you care if she fails or not?" Beryl asked.

"I beg your apology your highness but I have come to have feelings for her!" Malacite said looking towards the door where Zoisite left from.

"Ah I see well then just see that neither of you let your emotions get in the way of our mission!" Beryl ordered.

"Yes your highness!" Malacite said with a low bow before he left the room.

It was a beautiful Wednesday for a nice walk to school and Amy Mizuno was enjoying just such a day. As Amy was walking she didn't notice a scaffolding start to give away and she only notice it when it was almost too late. The next thing she knew Amy was being pushed out of the way just in time to see the scaffolding hit the ground.

"Amy are you okay?" Asked a masculine voice from next to her.

"Greg you saved me thank you so much!" Amy exclaimed hugging the teen next to her.

"You're welcome Amy but now I think we need to head off to school don't you?" Greg asked.

"You're going to school with me?" Amy asked.

"Sure am Amy let's go!" Greg said.

"Okay!" Amy said as both she and Greg headed off to Crossroads Junior High.

Chapter 26: Amy's Potential Boyfriend

Later that same morning as classes began Mrs. Haruna introduced Greg to the class.

"Good morning class we have a student joining us today. Would you please come in and introduce yourself to the rest of the class!" Mrs. Haruna said motioning towards the door.

"Yes ma'am!" A young man said coming into the room.

"Greg is in our class?" Amy questioned.

"Amy what's going on? Do you know him?" Serena asked.

"Yes, I do Serena in fact he kept me from being seriously hurt this morning!" Amy told her.

"Amy, Serena no talking please!" Mrs. Haruna ordered.

"Sorry!" Both girls exclaimed.

"Fine, now then will you go ahead and introduce yourself!" Mrs. Haruna told the boy.

"Yes ma'am well my name is Greg Wilson and I like studying, playing chess, computers and watching movies in my free time. I'm very glad to be here too!" Greg said to the class.

"And we're very glad to have you Greg. Now will someone show our new student around today?" Mrs. Haruna asked.

"I will Mrs. Haruna!" Amy exclaimed sticking her hand into the air.

"Alright Miss Mizuno the job of showing Greg around is yours." Mrs. Haruna said. She then turned to Greg and said, "Why don't you take the empty seat next to Amy!"

"Yes ma'am!" Greg said heading towards Amy's area.

"Now then class let's begin with math shall we!" Mrs. Haruna stated as the school day began.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the room, unknown to Amy, but one Jason Kino was quietly staring at her deep in thought.

'Why do I feel like I've just been betrayed? Amy and I aren't together, and yet, I feel as though I just lost my best friend. What's wrong with me?', Jason wondered to himself.

Next to him, his sister Lita was worried for her brother as she caught him staring at Amy.

'Damn, it looks like Jason has it bad for Amy, and just doesn't know it yet. Well maybe this thing with Amy and the new guy won't last.', Lita thought to herself, although she wasn't sure if that would happen.

Later that day around lunch time Greg had split up from Amy saying he wanted to look around the school himself for awhile so Amy walked over to the Japanese Oak near the fence where Serena, Lita and Jason were.

"Hey Amy, how has your day with Greg been going so far?" Lita asked with a smile.

'Thanks little sister for reminding me about Amy and Greg's day today!', Jason thought as he closed his eyes.

"Um, it was fine." Amy said while a blush crept over her face.

Serena upon seeing Jason's reaction to Lita's question decided against the statement she was going to say, and decided to go with a more placid question.

"So was he able to find everything okay" Serena asked with a smile.

'Thanks Serena.', Amy thought silently, before saying out loud, "He seemed to. Though I'm kind of shocked he transferred to this school."

"Why's that?" Jason asked trying to get into the conversation.

"It's because I've known him since we were both in elementary. We've practically grew up together." Amy answered.

"Man that's a long time to know someone." Lita said.

"Did he move away or something?" Serena asked.

"Yeah. He moved away before he and I were to start Junior High. I haven't seen him again until today." Amy informed her.

Just then the bell rang signaling the end of lunch and the beginning of the second half of the day.

"Well I guess it's time to go back to class!" Lita stated.

"Yep back to hitting the books!" Serena exclaimed with a bright smile.

"Man what is it with you two and school?" Lita asked.

"We love to study that's all Lita!" Serena said walking towards the building.

"Serena's right sis', besides getting good grades isn't so bad." Jason said before he walked up to the building after Serena.

"Guess that's our queue to go into the building!" Lita said following her brother and Serena.

"Yes it sure is." Amy said with a smile as she followed the others inside.

After school Amy and Greg decided to go for a walk by themselves so they could discuss some personal business. As they walked Amy told Greg she liked him and he in turn told her the same thing. Now both teens were walking hand in hand towards the park when Greg stopped Amy in mid-stride.

"What's wrong Greg?" Amy asked.

"Amy, I've got to tell you something about myself." He said.

"Why? What is it?" She asked again.

"Amy ever since I was younger I've had this ability to see things in the future." Greg started he then leaned in and whispered, "I also know that you're really Sailor Mercury, Amy!"

Amy's face grew pale and she began to sweat. "How do you know that?" Amy asked not even denying it.

"Amy like I said I can see the future and…" Greg tried to finish but Zoisite showed up before he could.

"Well now isn't this just romantic, but I'm afraid I'll have to destroy this little scene." Zoisite said.

"Oh no come on Greg let's get out of here!" Amy exclaimed pulling Greg along with her as she ran.

"Right behind you Amy!" Greg said trying to keep up with her.

"Ah I love a chase!" Zoisite smirked before disappearing in a wave of black ice water.

As Amy and Greg ran, Amy pulled out her communicator and called the others for help. Greg and she then ran into the park.

A little later somewhere inside the park as Amy and Greg were running they ran smack dab into Zoisite again.

"Ah fancy meeting you two here! My isn't this a small world!" Zoisite said laughing.

"What do you want?" Amy asked.

"Oh I just want the little crystal that your friend here has!" Zoisite said indicating Greg.

"Hold it right there Zoisite!" Came a voice from the shadows.

"Whose there no let me guess the Sailor Scouts here to stop the Dark Kingdom's plans yet again!" Zoisite hissed.

"That's right Dark Kingdom wench! You have disrupted something that was private and for that we will not forgive you for we are the defenders of love and justice and in the name of the moon!" Sailor Moon began.

"In the name of Jupiter!" Sailor Jupiter said.

"In the name of Earth!" Sailor Knight added.

"And in the name of Mars also!" Mars finished.

"We shall punish you!" They said in unison.

"Oh boy the cheerleading squad is here! But where is the water scout at?" Zoisite asked noticing they were down by one.

"She's off doing something else so leave Mercury out of this Zoisite!" Sailor Moon stated.

"Fine I'll just get what I came for!" She said heading towards Greg.

"I don't think so Zoisite! Moon Tiara Action!" Sailor Moon said throwing her tiara in between Zoisite and Greg.

"Miss Mizuno you'd better get your friend out of here!" Mars ordered.

"Yes, let's go Greg!" Amy said running off with Greg in hand.

"Thank you Sailor Scouts!" Greg yelled over his shoulder.

"Damn it why can't you brats stay out of our way?" Zoisite hissed.

"Because it's what we do. We just love to ruin all your fun." Sailor Knight said with a smug grin on his face.

"What I want to know, is why this witch is after that young man in the first place." Sailor Jupiter said.

"Does it have anything to do with those crystals you and Tuxedo Mask have?" Sailor Mars asked.

"That's for me to know and you to find out! For now take this, Dark Rose Petal Strike!" Zoisite yelled sending out thousands of black Rose petals. Then she disappeared in a wave of black ice water.

"Damn it Zoisite got away!" Jupiter yelled.

"She'll probably go after Amy and Greg again! Can you feel where they are Mars?" Sailor Moon asked.

"Yes but it might take awhile!" Mars stated.

"What are we waiting for let's go!" Jupiter said.

'Don't worry Amy, I won't let anything happen to either you or Greg. No matter how I may feel about the situation.', Sailor Knight thought to himself.

"Right let's go!" Sailor Moon said and with that the four scouts ran off looking for their friends.

Meanwhile Amy now in her guise as Sailor Mercury and Greg had wandered into the middle of the park and had decided to take a rest so they sat down on a bench hopping they were one step ahead of Zoisite.

"Mercury I need to tell you something else!" Greg said.

"What's wrong now Greg?" Mercury asked.

"I really like you Amy but I've seen my future and it isn't pretty!" He exclaimed.

"I really like you too but why are you saying this?" Mercury asked again.

"Because that witch Zoisite turns me into a monster and unless you destroy me I'll end up destroying you and the others!" Greg told her.

"Greg listen to me, it doesn't matter who or what you are. You can always choose what you will do for yourself!" Mercury said.

"Thanks Amy but I'm not sure." Greg said.

It was then that Zoisite appeared upon the scene.

"Ah did I interrupt another private conversation? I'm so sorry!" Zoisite sneered.

"Go away and leave us alone Zoisite!" Mercury ordered.

"No Mercury stay out of this I don't want you getting hurt! Zoisite if you promise not to hurt Sailor Mercury you can have whatever it is you want!" Greg said.

"So giving into the inevitability of the situation have you?" Zoisite asked.

"Enough do we have a deal?" Greg asked.

"Fine we have a deal! Black Crystal take the Rainbow Crystal from this boy!" Zoisite ordered. A second later a black beam shot out of Zoisite's crystal and struck Greg. After a few more minutes a yellow Rainbow Crystal flew out of Greg and into Zoisite's hands.

"Ahhhh!" Greg screamed as he fell to his knees in pain holding his chest.

"Greg noooo!" Mercury cried as she started to run towards Greg.

"No Mercury run before it's too late!" Greg labored as his breathing became erratic.

"Oh it's already too late dear boy! Jack Knife come forth and destroy Sailor Mercury!" Zoisite ordered.

A minute after Zoisite gave the order to destroy a large tornado and wind picked up around Greg and in a few minutes later both the wind and tornado died down to reveal what looked like a black ninja.

"I am Jack Knife evil ninja of the Dark Kingdom and you my dear Mercury are going to die!" Jack Knife said walking towards her.

"Oh Greg please listen to me! You don't have to listen to her remember it doesn't matter who or what you are, you can always choose what you will do for yourself!" Mercury pleaded.

Jack Knife stopped and began to think about what Sailor Mercury said.

"What are you waiting for Jack Knife destroy our enemy!" Zoisite ordered.

"Oh your right Zoisite! It is time I destroyed my enemy but it's not Mercury, it's you!" Jack Knife yelled as he sent ninja stars at Zoisite which caused her to drop the yellow crystal.

"Damn it Jack Knife did you forget who you work for!" Zoisite roared.

"It is not for you Zoisite!" Jack Knife said.

"Oh I'll show you who your master is, then you'll retrieve the yellow crystal! Where is it anyway?" Zoisite said looking around.

"Right here Zoisite!" Sailor Mercury said holding the third Rainbow crystal.

"Argh that's it Black Crystal I command you to bring this shadow warrior back under my control!" Zoisite roared throwing dark energy into Jack Knife.

"Noooo!" Jack Knife screamed as his mind clouded and then he stopped moving period.

"Jack Knife, I order you to retrieve the crystal from that sailor brat!" Zoisite said.

"As you command Lady Zoisite!" Jack Knife said as he turned and walked towards Sailor Mercury.

Just then the other Sailor Scouts showed up on the scene.

"Hold it right there Dark Kingdom piece of trash!" Mars yelled preparing to attack.

"No Mars that's Greg!" Mercury told her friend.

"No way now what do we do guys?" Jupiter asked.

"Well Jupiter we do what we did with Game Machine Joe and the Priest!" Sailor Moon said with a smile.

"Good idea Moon girl!" Jupiter said returning the smile.

"Where do we start?" Mars asked.

"I would say we start by weakening this guy first as always." Sailor Knight suggested.

"Okay, I've got a plan." Sailor Moon said speaking up. She then turned towards the others. "Mercury call up your bubbles, Sailor Knight, Sailor Jupiter and Mars I want you three to weaken him enough so I can turn him back to normal okay!" Sailor Moon gave out orders.

"Right!" The others said then went into action.

"Mercury Bubbles Blast!" Mercury yelled sending out her attack which covered the entire area.

"Okay you guys are up on!" Sailor Moon told the others in her group.

"What are you Sailor brats up too?" Zoisite asked.

"Just this! Now Mars and you guys too, Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Knight!" Sailor Moon yelled.

"Sure thing Sailor Moon! Come on guys let's do this together!" Jupiter said.

"Right let's do it!" Mars agreed.

"Right behind you guys!" Sailor Knight stated also in agreement.

"Jupiter Thunder Clap!" Jupiter yelled preparing her attack.

"Mars Fire!" Mars yelled preparing hers.

"Volcanic Flare!" Sailor Knight exclaimed as he too prepared his own attack.

"Zap!"

"Ignite!"

"Explosion!"

All three powers roared towards Jack Knife and upon impact caused him to scream out in pain.

"Now Sailor Moon he is weak now you can heal him!" Mercury said.

"Right Mercury! Moon Healing Activation!" Sailor Moon called out sending her healing energy at Jack Knife.

"Noooo!" He screamed as the healing energy washed over Jack Knife. A minute later and Greg was once again back to normal and falling to his knees in exhaustion.

"So you managed to not only retrieve the crystal but you've freed this child too! But make no mistake Sailor brats I shall be back and next time things shall end very differently I promise you that!" Zoisite roared before she disappeared in a wave of black ice water.

Elsewhere in the shadows Tuxedo Mask was watching the whole scene take place. After Zoisite left, Tuxedo Mask turned to leave and as he was walking thought, 'Well I'm glad to see that the Scouts have the crystal. I guess I could leave it with them for now!'

He then disappeared.

Sailor Knight watched as Tuxedo Mask left, a thoughtful expression slowly crossing his face. 'So you won't challenge us for our Rainbow Crystal? Or are you just biding your time? More importantly… does this make you our ally, or our enemy?'

Later that evening after making sure Greg was okay, Amy and the other scouts ended up having to say goodbye to him so they went to the airport to see him off.

"Why do you have to go Greg, I mean you just started taking classes with us?" Lita asked.

"Sorry guys but my dad who is a very accomplished scientist was just reassigned to work at the SDF1 sight so I've got to go with him too!" Greg told her.

"That's a big honor. I wish you all the luck while your dad's on Macross Island." Jason said with a friendly smile. 'Though I won't really miss you.', He thought to himself.

"Just be careful alright, Greg!' Amy said with a smile.

"You know I will Amy and next time we'll go on a real date when I get back!" Greg said.

"Come on time to go!" Greg's father called from the plane.

"Well I guess this is it! Bye guys keep the world safe for us okay!" Greg said kissing Amy goodbye then turning to leave.

"We'll do our best and safe journey!" Serena said.

"Bye Greg!" Raye simply added.

"Bye Greg see you around!" Lita said.

"Good bye Greg don't forget to write!" Amy stated sadly.

"See ya around man." Jason said waving goodbye.

"Goodbye everyone see you all around someday!" Greg called back as the door of the airplane closed behind him.

"Well I guess we'd better be going home guys!" Raye said.

"Yeah we've got school tomorrow after all!" Amy added.

"Sure come on Jason let's go home!" Lita said.

"Right." Jason said with a nod. He then looked over at Serena. "You coming?"

"Yeah, I'm coming!" Serena said as the group of five friends left the airport and went home.
