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
by: Thunderbird
Two days after the Sailor Scouts defeated Stringshot and Sailor Mercury found a hidden power within herself, things began to settle down yet again for the Sailor Scouts but everyone was still under the impression that they needed to be ready for anything. Then at the Aino house things appeared to go all wrong for Mina when she first woke up on Monday morning. It seemed that she forgot to set her alarm the night before which was the reason she was still asleep thirty minutes after she was suppose to be up.
"Woah Artemis, why didn't you wake me up?" Mina cried as she jumped out of bed.
"I did Mina thirty minutes ago but you said you had plenty of time to go to school." Artemis told his young charge.
"And you believed me?" Mina asked as she ran around her room picking up her things for school.
"No I didn't Mina but I know how you are when your still asleep and I wasn't prepared to go flying across the room from your agitated outburst like you are right now." Artemis said from his spot on the floor.
"You know something Artemis! Your no help at all!" Mina hissed before she left her room to go take a quick shower.
A few minutes later after Mina had finished her shower, got dressed then grabbed a piece of toast and ran out the door she came across a little girl was being picked on by a group of small boys who appeared to be around the little girls age.
"Hey what's going on here?" Mina asked.
"This is none of your business lady so just bug off!" One of the boys said with a smirk on his face.
"I don't think so little boy! It isn't nice to pick on girls!" Mina exclaimed.
"Joe let's go or we'll be late for school!" One of the other boys urged.
"Lance is right Joe let the baby still have her beliefs but we got to go!" Another of the boys said.
"Fine we'll go! Have fun baby being in your little world!" The boy known as Joe as he and the others ran off.
After the group of boys ran off Mina looked down at the little girl with a smile on her face.
"Hey there kiddo what's your name?" Mina asked.
"My name is Eriko Ihara and I'm glad you made those boys stop making fun of me." Eriko said with tears in her eyes.
"You're welcome Eriko! My names Mina Aino and I was glad to help out." Mina said.
"Well thanks again Mina!" Eriko said.
"Alright now why were those little punks being mean to you in the first place?" Mina asked.
"Well you see they think I'm a baby for still believing in the Sailor Scouts!" Eriko told the older girl before her.
"Why the Sailor Scouts are all real!" Mina exclaimed.
"That's what I keep telling them but they still tell me I'm a big baby and that I should grow up!" Eriko said.
"Well don't listen to a word those boys say Eriko! The scouts are real and if you want to continue to be a fan of theirs then there is noting to stop you from doing just that!" Mina said as a clock off in the distance began to chime.
"Oh no I'm going to be late for school!" Eriko cried.
"No you won't Eriko I'll help you get there!" Mina exclaimed as she grabbed the younger girls arm and began running towards the girls school.
About ten minutes later Mina got Eriko to the school right on time. Mina then looked down at Eriko and said with a bright smile, "Here you are Eriko and don't worry about those boys today because I'll come back later this afternoon and explain some of what I know about the Sailor Scouts okay!"
"Alright thanks Mina!" Eriko said as Mina began running off for her own school.
Chapter 49: Mina Gains a Fan
Later that day at Juuban Elementary School, Mina walked onto Eriko's school play ground to find Eriko and a few of the other children sitting down waiting to listen to her stories of the Sailor Scouts.
"Hey there Eriko here I am as promised!" Mina exclaimed with a bright smile on her face.
"Hello Mina! These are a few of my fellow students! This is Jack Craven, Freddy Holster, Ginger Solstan and Drea Peterson!" Eriko said as she pointed to each person.
"Eriko where are Lance, Joe and the other boy they were with this morning?" Mina asked looking around the group.
"Oh Lance, Joe and Mike who was the third boy had detention for cutting up in class!" Eriko informed her older new friend.
"I see well then why don't we get started shall we!" Mina exclaimed as she took a seat in front of the children.
"Alright so is it true you really know something's about the Sailor Scouts?" Jack Craven asked skeptically.
"Yes I do Jack!" Mina said with a smile.
"It's a lie! How in the world can you know anything about people who don't even exist?" Drea asked.
"Yeah you probably just expect us to listen to you cause you older then us!" Freddy Holster said with a smirk on his face.
"Fine let me tell you about the scouts from what I've been able to learn about them!" Mina said a she took a deep breathe and began to speak.
"The knowledge of the Sailor Scouts starts last year when the scout known as Sailor Venus or Sailor V for short made her first appearance…" Mina said as she began her story leaving out the details of who really was who.
Meanwhile as Mina was telling the school children about the Sailor Scouts minus her being one of course, in another area of Tokyo a school bus loaded with school children was driving along until all of a sudden it was attacked by a large bird like humanoid. The creature broke through the roof of the bus and scared all of the young children including the bus driver.
"Ah fresh young minds who have nothing better to do then sit around playing stupid games and what not! Give your energy to me now!" The creature laughed as it began stealing energy from the driver and children causing them to all pass out.
After it was finished the cardian flew up and out of the hole in the roof it caused breaking in leaving it's victims unconscious in their seats.
About thirty minutes later at the Tsukino House, the family is watching the news when all of a sudden an emergency report was brought to their attention.
"Ladies and gentlemen I am sorry to be the one to have to tell you this but it seems that a School bus for Lee Elementary School was attacked by an unknown person. Witnesses on the scene say that the perpetrator was a creature that was half man half bird. If that is the case then this being can only be an enemy of the Sailor Scouts and we can only hope that they will be able to stop these beings soon! I'm Jason La'Street and we'll be right back!" Jason said as they went to commercial.
"This is awful when will these creatures leave us alone?" Ilene asked to no one in particular.
"I'm not sure dear but we can only hope that these creatures will be stopped sooner or later." Kenji answered.
"I just hope it's soon!" Sammy said still looking at the TV.
"I agree with you Sammy we'll all be better off once these things are taken care of." Serena added as a form of comfort.
"If you'll all excuse me I think I'll go up to my room now and do some more studying." Serena said as she walked out of the living room and headed upstairs.
"Serena's got a good idea son maybe you should head upstairs as well." Ilene said.
"Yes ma'am!" Sammy said as he went up the stairs next.
Up in Serena's room out of earshot of any family members, Serena pulled out her communicator and got in touch with her friends. She was able to get everyone except Mina.
"Guys has anyone seen Mina today?" Serena asked checking to see if they should be worried or not.
"Not me or Jason, but she does know to let us know if something was wrong Serena." Lita said.
"Lita's right, and so far we haven't heard anything." Jason said in agreement.
"Why did you call us anyway, Serena?" Raye asked.
"The reason I'm calling is I wanted to know if any of you have seen the news this afternoon?" Serena asked.
"No, why?" The others asked.
"Because it said that there was an attack on an Elementary School bus this afternoon!" Serena said.
"Oh no do you think the enemy is behind it?" Lita asked.
"It's possible Lita I just think we should keep an eye out just in case they are the ones behind all this!" Serena said.
"Good idea Serena! I think each of us should split up tomorrow and keep an eye on Elementary Schools around the area and if one of us sees anything the others will come running!" Amy said with a smile on her face.
"Great idea Amy! Right now though I need to hit the books for a test I have tomorrow I'll talk to you guys tomorrow afternoon!" Raye said ending her link.
"Jason and I have to go study as well guys we'll catch you later!" Lita said ending her half of the communications as well.
"Talk to you guys later." Jason said as he too broke off communications.
"I'll see you in school tomorrow Amy!" Serena said with a bright smile.
"Okay bye Serena!" Amy said before both she and Serena ended communications for the night.
The next afternoon on the following day at Juuban Elementary school, Serena had managed to get this bus route so she was currently looking inside the school yard to see what she could learn. When she looked inside she saw Mina who was having an argument with a group of boys who were calling Mina an old bitty and called Eriko a baby for believing in such stuff like the Sailor Scouts.
'I feel so sorry for that little girl! Maybe while I look for the cardian I can help Mina out as well.', Serena thought to herself as she pulled out her Luna Pen from her subspace pocket.
"Luna Pen turn me into an older version of myself so I can get inside and help out Mina!" Serena said only low enough for her to hear. As a stream of pink light left the pen it enveloped Serena causing her to disappear from view for a few seconds. Once the light dissipated standing in Serena Tsukino's place was an older looking woman with short blonde hair that went down to just above her neckline. She was wearing a lose fitting pink sweater that draped over one shoulder to reveal a white shirt underneath. She was also wearing a pair of long black pants and white sneakers. Once Serena was done checking her outfit over she walked out on the schools playground where Mina was currently being helped out with the children by a teacher at the school.
"Mina is everything okay here?" Serena asked in a slightly older voice.
Mina looked at the woman walking towards her and after only a second knew it was Serena.
"Yeah everything's okay we're just having an argument about whether or not the Sailor Scouts were real! I told them the story as best I could seeing as how I'm not a sailor scout myself! Anyway what brings you by?" Mina asked.
"I'm sorry Mina but who is your friend here?" The teacher assisting her asked.
"Oh I believe the apology is all mine ma'am! Hello my name is Selenity Jones and I'm a friend of Mina's." Serena a.k.a. Selenity Jones said with a big smile.
"Why hello there Selenity it is a pleasure to meet you, my name is Izumi Kasahara!" Izumi said as she shuck the other woman's hand.
"You as well Mrs. Kasahara! I came by looking for Mina but I can see that she is busy helping you out with the children so I'll just leave you two to your work." Selenity said as she turned to leave.
"No don't be silly Selenity! You are welcome to stay if you'd like." Izumi said with a warm smile.
"Yeah we were just getting ready to take these kids home Selenity would you like to join us we could sure use the help?" Mina asked.
"I'd be very happy to help out in any way I can Mina!" Serena a.k.a. Selenity said with a bright smile.
After the threesome rounded up all of the children both Mina and Serena in her disguise got aboard the bus along with the students and driver and pulled out of the school parking lot.
On the trip across town to drop off the children from Juuban Elementary a few moments later as Serena was keeping a look out for any signs of danger, Mina was singing a song along with the children when all of a sudden the creature in question from the other day smashed through the roof causing the bus to come to a complete halt inside a long tunnel.
"Who are you and what do you want?" Serena hissed in her best adult voice she had.
"I am the cardian known as Hawknor human and what I want is your energy!" Hawknor laughed as the children began to all turn pale.
"No way we're too young to die please someone help us!" A few of the children began to cry out.
"Will the scouts really come and save us Mina?" Eriko asked with tears in her eyes.
"Yes Eriko they will!" Mina tried to soothe her young charge.
"That's right little girl any moment now those heroines of Love and Justice will arrive and make that creature pay for ever attacking us!" Serena said adding to Eriko's ability to remain calm.
"Oh please those short skirted bimbos won't stop me!" Hawknor said laughing.
"Oh that's it you asked for it mister! No one puts down a child's hero in front of them and should expect to get away with it!" Serena hissed as she used her full force to push the Cardian out of the bus.
"Ah damn you human you'll pay for that!" The cardian yelled as it landed on it's back.
"Not today I won't creep!" Serena boldly said as she began to throw punch after punch.
As the children were watching Serena go up against the creature Mina took that time to get off the bus and transform into Sailor Venus, as she was transforming though Mina didn't notice when a black Thunderbird drove up onto the scene. The person that stepped out was a tall thin man with platinum colored hair and greyish eyes, he was also wearing a pale silver suit.
"So your the one whose been attacking the school buses for the past two days!" The man hissed as his eyes became slits.
"What do you want here human? Can't you see I am dealing with this retched brat right now?" Hawknor asked his temper becoming evident.
"What bad manners you appear to have! First off you never call a young woman who is as pretty as she is a retched brat, second you never hit a woman and third it is bad form to attack helpless children!" The man said in an emotionless voice.
"Oh please your going to make me sick! You humans haven't been chivalrous in over a thousand years! What makes you think you can stop me anyway?" Hawknor asked.
"Simple someone has to protect these children and the beautiful woman!" The man stated.
"Who are you?" Serena asked.
"My name dear lady is Knave Fukada and I aim to stop this cad where he stands!" Knave informed her.
"Oh please take this and be gone from my sight! Dark Feather of Destruction!" Hawknor yelled as he threw dozens of exploding feathers at Knave.
Upon impact the feathers caused Knave to go flying backwards into his car.
"Noooo! He was only trying to help the children you monster!" Serena yelled as she did a flying kick to Hawknor's chest.
"Please you won't stop me either! Dark Feathers of Destruction!" Hawknor yelled as he sent his attack flying towards Serena.
"Ahhhh!" She screamed as she went flying into the side of the school bus.
It was then that Sailor Venus walked out onto the field of battle. She saw her friend Serena laying on the cold hard concert next to the school bus as well as for the man who had tried to save them laying next to his own car on the ground.
"You creature of evil shall pay for hurting this woman and the gentlemen over there next to his car." Sailor Venus hissed out in anger towards the cardian before her.
"Oh if it isn't one of the Sailor Scouts! Finally decided to show yourself did you?" Hawknor said laughing.
"Yes and there will be more of us soon!" Venus boldly said as she stared down her enemy.
As both Sailor Venus and the cardian known as Hawknor faced down each other Knave Fukada was slowly waking up from his unconscious state to see the argument before him. His eyes became glued upon the figure of Sailor Venus and a new vision began to take her place, that of a golden goddess of love who had won his heart so long ago. As he continued to watch the scene before him his mind clouded over and he began to drift off yet again.
Then all at once Knave woke up to see that the tunnel was gone only to be replaced by the throne room of a large grand palace. Open balcony's showed vast country sides in all directions which surrounded a beautiful golden city that itself was surrounding the palace. Then all of a sudden two glowing balls of light appeared in front of him and began to pulsate and grow until they took on human form.
"Hello there Knave Fukada it is about time you came before us!" An elegantly dressed woman in a long flowing brown gown with green embroidered vines said.
"Who are you two and where am I?" Knave asked.
"My dear General Kunzite I am King Endorian and this is my wife Queen Gaia and you are in the royal palace of the Kingdom of Elysion." King Endorian said with a kind face.
"Kunzite? Sir you must have me mistaken for someone else! My name is Knave Fukada remember your wife just called me that when you first appeared before me." Knave said confused about the reason this man would call him by a name he has never known.
"Yes I know that was the name you were given when you were reborn but believe me General you were once also known as Kunzite the leader of all of the Earth's military forces." King Endorian said.
"Alright then even if I am who you say I am how on earth did I get here?" Knave asked.
"You and two other Generals of Earth were cloned when a fourth person who was also training to be a General turned traitor after she was excused from further duties and stole your DNA. Then the three clones along with the traitor and seven shadow warriors all helped the Evil Queen of the Dark Kingdom known as Queen Beryl to destroy our home then they set their sites on the Moon Kingdom. The Sailor Scout fought valiantly against the Shadow warriors but all was for not. For you see when they thought that all the shadow warriors were gone, Queen Beryl merged all seven shadow warriors together to form one giant shadow which took out all six Sailor Scouts. Then it took out you and our remaining Generals. Queen Beryl then went after the Moon Princess and our son Prince Endymion, Beryl killed both of them because they defied her and she couldn't take it. Then the Queen of the Moon Kingdom known as Queen Serenity appeared and used her Imperium Silver Crystal to lock all of the Dark Kingdom in they realm hopefully never to be seen again and sent all of the people that were on the Moon to a bright and peaceful future on the Earth. She also set into motion that should the Dark Kingdom ever break free that the Sailor Scouts would be able to be awakened to do battle against her. That time sadly came and the advisors to the Moon Kingdom were sent out to accomplish their task. In the end the Princess was able to defeat Queen Beryl and her master the equally as evil Queen Metallia. Now however a new enemy has invaded our world and we have brought you here Knave to reawaken you to your duty. Also we believe that it is time that you and your loved one Sailor Venus should be reunited at last!" Queen Gaia said with a warm smile on her face.
"But I don't remember any of this!" Knave said.
"That will be easy to rectify Knave! Simply take hold of this sword and you shall have the memories that continue to plague you in your sleep." King Endorian said as he made a Topaz orange sword appear out of thin air.
"That sword it seems so familiar to me!" Knave said as he reached out for the sword.
"This sword is called The Venus Sword of Love and Justice! It was a gift from Princess Mina and her family when you two began to court each other. Queen Serenity realized what Queen Beryl had done and before she sent you three Generals into the future she wove a spell that once touched by your hands the swords would unlock your memories." The king told his Head General.
"Do you except your duty Knave?" Queen Gaia asked even as she could tell he would.
"Yes your highness!" Knave said bowing his head.
"Then take the Sword Knave and become General Kunzite once again! But know this you like the scouts will still have your everyday form to keep you safe from your enemies and only your fellow allies will know who you truly are." King Endorian said as he placed the hilt of the sword in Knave's hands.
Once the blade was in Knave's hands a cool breeze began to blow around the throne room of Earth before Knave was wrapped up in a bright golden light. A second later the light dispersed leaving behind General Kunzite wearing a dark orange suit of armor. It had silver streaks running over the breastplate and he also had a long flowing orange cape which was attached at his shoulders. Clasping the cape to his shoulders were the insignias of both Earth and Venus to signify that he was now not only the General of Earth but also the Guardian of the Princess of Venus as well. At his side was a scabbard where his sword rested when not in use. This too had the insignias of both of Earth and Venus on it as well as for Topaz gems which were strung all over it.
"Welcome back to the service of the Planet Earth General Kunzite!" King Endorian stated with pride in his voice.
"Thank you your majesties for this honor!" Kunzite said as he bowed to one knee.
"The honor is ours to return what has always been yours General! Now go and protect our son and the woman you love as well as for all the innocent people that your enemies wish to harm." Queen Gaia said with a smile.
"Thank you your highness I shall not fail you or our kingdom again!" Kunzite said as he disappeared from the room.
Meanwhile back in the Tunnel the fight had already begun between both Sailor Venus and Hawknor. As they were fighting and the children's eyes were all glued to the fight Serena who managed to wake up took the chance to go find a place to transform into Sailor Moon. Then all of a sudden when Sailor Moon came out onto the field of battle a cold wind began to blow over the area.
"What's happening?" Sailor Venus asked Sailor Moon as they looked around the area.
"I'm not sure!" Sailor Moon stated as she tried to keep an eye on the cardian.
"What are you brats up to?" Hawknor hissed.
"I thought I told you not to call them that creature of evils spawn!" A very pissed off masculine voice asked as Knave Fukada began to stand up from his position on the ground.
"Oh really and what are you going to do about it huh?" Hawknor said laughing.
"How about I show you that you don't really want to mess with me?" Knave asked as an insignia appeared on Knave's head that was a cross inside of a circle that was orange in color.
"I think we've just found one of the General of Earth, Venus!" Sailor Moon informed her companion.
"But which one?" Venus asked.
"Venus Sword!" Knave began which caused a long Topaz colored Sword to appear out of nowhere.
"Well that answers part of the question." Sailor Moon said with a smile towards her friend.
"So he's my guardian but that still doesn't answer which general he is!" Venus answered.
"Oh I beg to differ with you Venus! You see when we went into the past before we faced Queen Beryl we learned a few things! One of which was that each general took on the duel role of both guardian to their lovers and that of a general of Earth!" Sailor Moon said.
"You mean that he's…" Venus began to ask only to be answered by Sailor Moon.
"Yes he is General Kunzite Sailor Venus!" Sailor Moon said.
"You shall pay on behalf of those children inside the bus as well as for all the other children you already drained of energy the other day! I call upon my birthright, General Kunzite!" Knave yelled as he grasped the hilt of his sword.
After grasping the hilt of his sword Knave was wrapped up in a bright golden light. A second later the light dispersed leaving behind General Kunzite wearing a dark orange suit of armor. It had silver streaks running over the breastplate and he also had a long flowing orange cape which was attached at his shoulders. Clasping the cape to his shoulders were the insignias of both Earth and Venus to signify that he was now not only the General of Earth but also the Guardian of the Princess of Venus as well. At his side was a scabbard where his sword now rested in the scabbard at his side.
"Who are you?" Hawknor asked taking a step backwards.
"I am General Kunzite First of the Earth's Generals and commander and chief of her entire military! I am also known to some in my close nit group as the Guardian of Venus and you creature of evil have attacked the people of Earth for the last time! Heart Control Wave!" Kunzite yelled as he sent a Golden Heart shaped attack flying towards the cardian before him.
"No what are you doing to me?" Hawknor cried as he was propelled backwards which caused his wings to become burn to a crisp. A second later a beaten and battered Hawknor got up.
"So your stronger then you look! Good I love a challenge!" Kunzite said as a smirk spread across his face.
'No we need to end this now before that cardian can regroup and counterstrike!', Sailor Venus thought.
It was at that moment that the Moon Light Knight decided to make an appearance.
"Who are you?" Kunzite asked getting into a defensive stance.
"Easy General of Earth I am merely an ally in the fight against this new enemy we are up against! Listen carefully General the longer you let that cardian live the longer he'll have a chance to recoup and have enough power to destroy you all and take the energy from those innocent children is that what you want?" The Moon Light Knight asked.
"No it's just been so long since I've had any competition worthy of facing me!" Kunzite said as he dropped his sword to his side.
"Relax Kunzite after this fight is over we shall take you to an old friend who I'm sure will be more then a match for you!" Sailor Moon said.
"Very well but I do have another question for you that I shall ask later!" Kunzite said as he prepared another attack.
"No allow me Kunzite!" Sailor Venus said as she brought her hands up to her chest and closed her eyes.
"What's going on?" Sailor Moon asked.
"Like Sailor Mercury before her, Sailor Venus is about to tap into her own new power!" The Moon Light Knight exclaimed.
"You shall pay for all the children you've caused pain and suffering to creature of darkness! Venus Meteor Shower!" Venus yelled after a moment longer of preparing her attack.
"No I've failed you my masters!" Hawknor cried as large rocks began to crash down on the cardian from out of the sky. A second later he was turned into dust.
"Wow Venus I didn't even need to use the scepter on the bad guys that time!" Sailor Moon exclaimed with a bright smile.
"Thanks Sailor Moon!" Venus said with a bright smile of her own.
"Good job Sailor Scouts! I'll be seeing you!" The Moon Light Knight exclaimed before he disappeared into the shadows.
"Yes who ever he was, the guys right you were both great!" Kunzite said as he walked up to Sailor Venus.
"It's been a long time my Love Goddess!" Kunzite said as he came up to the scout of Venus.
"Yes it has my love and I'm glad you've been returned to me." Sailor Venus said as she threw herself into his chest and began to cry.
"I'll leave you two to take care of the school bus and children Venus so that you may have some time alone afterwards!" Sailor Moon said as she began to walk off.
"Wait who are you? I never saw you in the Silver Millennium!" Kunzite asked.
"Ask Venus, Kunzite she knows all of my background! Oh and Venus tell the kids that Selenity is safe and sound, okay!" Sailor Moon said before she disappeared into the shadows.
"Okay Sailor Moon!" Venus said as she continued to watch the area where Sailor Moon disappeared at.
"What's going on Venus?" Kunzite asked as he held onto Sailor Venus and watched the area where Sailor Moon disappeared as well.
"It's a long story Kunzite one I'm all too glad to tell you about after we take care of the kids." Venus told him. With that the two long separated lovers helped the children get home then headed off in order for Venus to tell Kunzite all about the train of events that had so far lead up to that moment.
