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

The morning after Knave joined the group and Mina gained a new power everything was peaceful around Tokyo as everyone began their day as normal. Both Lita and Jason were in their apartment and while Lita was busy making an extra large lunch to share with her friends and brother should any of them have mistaken their own lunches, Jason was sitting at the table reading the paper.

"Man, it looks like they're making some more progress with the SDF1. Scientists have pulled more technology off of that ship and it looks like their also got more of it rebuilt too." Jason said.

"That's good to hear." Lita said as she placed more food into a binto box. It was then that a knock came to their front door. "Coming!" Lita exclaimed as she wiped her hands then went to the door.

When Lita opened the door she was greeted with her friends Amy and Serena who were both holding their lunches and school bags.

"Hey there Lita we just thought we'd come over and walk you and Jason to school!" Serena said with a bright smile.

"That was very thoughtful of you guys." Jason said as he came up to the door next.

"Well," Amy said as a tiny blush crept over her cheeks, while continuing with, "we were also wondering if you were both ready for the Math and English tests we have today."

"I believe we are." Lita said with a smile.

"Yep, studied all night for it, too." Jason added.

"Why don't you both come in and wait. I've almost finished making my lunch then we can all go to school!" Lita said as she opened up her door wider to allow entry into hers and Jason's apartment.

"Thanks guys!" Both Amy and Serena said as they walked into the apartment.

After Lita was done making her lunch she wrapped it up and then together with her friends and brother, they all walked off towards Crossroads Junior High.

Chapter 50: Lita's Dream

Later that day at Crossroads Junior High during lunch, Serena, Amy and Jason went off to do some more studying while Lita decided to go off by herself and eat lunch. After a few moments she ran into Steven who was sitting on the roof of the building just staring at the sky.

"Hey there Steven do you mind if I sit up here with you?" Lita asked with a bright smile.

"No of course not have a seat." Steven said with a smile.

As Lita sat down, Steven got a good look at the food she had with her.

"Lita what is all that?" Steven asked.

"Oh this well you see I always make extra food when I come to school just incase one of my friends don't have any lunch." Lita told him with a smile.

"You really must love to cook Lita!" Steven said with a smile.

"Yeah you see it's my greatest wish to be a really great chef and cook for as many people as possible!" Lita said as she looked to the heavens.

"Boy Lita that sounds like a great dream!" Steven said.

"Thanks Steven that really means a lot to me!" Lita exclaimed with another one of her bright smiles.

As both Lita and Steven are talking about Lita's dream of becoming a great chef one day, Nancy decided to show up to see what was going on.

"So what are you two talking about?" Nancy asked in a snide way.

"We were only talking about my dream of becoming a chef someday Nancy, why should it matter what your brother does anyway?" Lita asked.

"It matters because we don't need that kind of food!" Nancy hissed before storming off out of sight.

"I'm sorry Lita but I better go calm Nancy down!" Steven exclaimed as he went to chase after his sister.

'There's something seriously wrong with that family!', Lita thought before she began eating her lunch.

Later that night at the Juuban Elementary School playground Lita found herself sitting on the swings thinking about her dream again when Steven showed up to see if she was okay.

"Lita are you alright?" Steven asked.

"Yeah I'm fine Steven! Um do you want to sit down and hang out for a while?" Lita asked.

"Sure why not!" Steven said as he took a seat in the swing next to her.

"Hey um would you like to try some of the dinner I made before coming out here?" Lita asked.

"I'm not sure but I guess I could!" Steven said as he picked up a shrimp tail and proceeded to eat it. He was quite surprised to find that it was actually very good.

"Lita this is very good I hope your dream of becoming a great chef someday happens for you because I have no doubt you'll be great!" Steven said with a smile.

"You really mean it?" Lita asked.

"Yes I do!" He answered.

It is at that moment that Ann showed up in her alien form.

[What's going on Alan?], Ann asked telepathically.

[I was only talking to Lita, Ann!], Steven informed her telepathically.

[So I guess talking also includes stuffing Lita's Junk down your throat and forgetting that the Doom Tree needs more energy is more important to you huh?], Ann sent back.

Steven's demeanor changed when Ann informed him of the Doom Tree then he sent telepathically, [Ann you need to come up with a way so that I can change into my alien form without Lita realizing who I am.]

[Very well Alan!], Ann told him telepathically as she sent an energy ball at both Lita and Steven. This caused both Steven and Lita to go flying to the ground.

"Steven run and get out of here while I hold of this thing!" Lita ordered as she got up from her position on the ground and got into a defensive stance.

"Alright Lita, but be careful she looks like she is very strong!" Steven said as he ran off.

'Yeah but she doesn't know who she's messing with!', Lita thought to herself.

After Steven ran off, he used that time as his chance to go hide and transform into his real self. After he was done he quickly returned to Ann's side.

[Okay Ann it's time to pick a cardian and steal that girls energy for the Doom Tree!], Alan sent telepathically as he held up a deck of cards.

"Okay I pick this one!" Ann said as she made a card rise out of his hand.

"Ah cardian Sushana! She should make quick work of Lita!" Alan said as a sinister smile spread across his face.

"Cardian Sushana come forth!" Alan commanded as he began playing his flute.

"Sushana at your service my masters!" The cardian said as she appeared out of the card.

When Lita saw this she knew that she would need help so Lita dove for cover behind a few bushes then using her communicator she called the others for help.

"Guys it's me Lita, we've got a problem down at the Juuban Elementary School Playground! Those two weird aliens are here and they just called up one of those cardians of theirs!" Lita called into her communicator.

"Hey sis' are you okay?" Jason asked worriedly.

"I'm fine so far, but that all depends on how long it takes the rest of you to get here." Lita said.

"We'll be there soon Lita hang in there as long as possible okay!" Serena answered.

"Okay but just hurry!" Lita exclaimed.

"We will Lita just stay calm!" Raye said before the others all closed off their communicators.

"Stay calm she says! Let's see Raye stay calm in this kind of situation!" Lita hissed as she put her own communicator up. She then pulled out her transformation wand held it to the sky and in a soft voice called out, "Jupiter Power!"

In a matter of seconds Lita was surrounded by a storm of green lightning. When it dissipated Sailor Jupiter was standing where Lita Kino once did.

"Time to see if these creeps can handle my storm!" Jupiter exclaimed as she went into action.

"Hey creeps how dare you invade our planet and try to steal energy that doesn't even belong to you!" Jupiter yelled as she came out of her hiding spot.

"Sorry to spoil your fun Sailor Jupiter but this is our planet now so get used to it! Sushana destroy her now!" Alan ordered.

"Yes master!" The cardian known as Sushana said with a small bow before the battle between her and Jupiter began.

A few minutes later the other Sailor Scouts as well as for Kunzite all appeared and prepared to face off against the cardian, but she was a little to fast for them and managed to trap them all except Sailor Jupiter in a weird green rope.

"No you won't get away with that!" Sailor Jupiter yelled.

"Oh but I believe I already did sailor brat and now while your friends watch I'll destroy you then I'll go after them." Sushana said laughing as she advanced upon the scout of Jupiter.

It was at that moment that a bag came flying out of nowhere and hit the cardian in the face.

"Who threw that at me?" Sushana hissed as she looked around.

"I did you sorry excuse for an Asian delicacy!" A masculine voice said before a tall man walked out onto the field of battle.

"So human you believe you can stop me?" Sushana asked the man who entered the playground.

"Maybe not but I won't allow you to hurt the people who have done a lot to save this world from trash like you!" The man said.

"What's you name human so that I know who it is that I killed before I destroy these pitiful heroes of your planet?" Sushana asked.

"My name is Nathan Sanada and I won't be that easy to kill!" The man now known as Nathan Sanada boldly said.

"Oh really well then try this on for size! Dark Energy Ball!" Ann said as she caused a large ball of dark energy to fly right at Nathan. This caused him to go flying into the monkey bars knocking him out on impact.

"No how dare you! He was only trying to help us out!" Jupiter yelled.

"Yeah well your next Sailor Jupiter!" Sushana said as she began to walk towards Sailor Jupiter once again.

Meanwhile Nathan had was woken up to see that the play ground 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 Nathan Sanada 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?" Nathan asked.

"My dear General Nephrite 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.

"Nephrite? Sir you must have me mistaken for someone else! My name is Nathan Sanada remember your wife just called me that when you first appeared before me." Nathan 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 Nephrite the leader of the Earth's Air forces." King Endorian said.

"Alright then even if I am who you say I am how on earth did I get here?" Nathan 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 Nathan to reawaken you to your duty. Also we believe that it is time that you and your loved one Sailor Jupiter should be reunited at last!" Queen Gaia said with a warm smile on her face.

"But I don't remember any of this!" Nathan said.

"That will be easy to rectify Nathan! 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 an Emerald green sword appear out of thin air.

"That sword it seems so familiar to me!" Nathan said as he reached out for the sword.

"This sword is called The Jupiter Sword of Thunder and Lightning! It was a gift from Princess Lita and her family when you two began to court each other. Queen Serenity realized what Queen Beryl had done and before she sent you four Generals into the future she wove a spell that once touched by your hands the swords would unlock your memories." The king told his Air Force General.

"Do you except your duty Nathan?" Queen Gaia asked even as she could tell he would.

"Yes your highness!" Nathan said bowing his head.

"Then take the Sword Nathan and become General Nephrite 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 Nathan's hands.

Once the blade was in Nathan's hands a cool breeze began to blow around the throne room of Earth before Nathan was wrapped up a sea of bright lightning. A second later the lightning dispersed leaving behind General Nephrite wearing a dark Forest green suit of armor. It had silver streaks running over the breastplate and he also had a long flowing green cape which was attached at his shoulders. Clasping the cape to his shoulders were the insignias of both Earth and Jupiter to signify that he was now not only the General of Earth but also the Guardian of the Princess of Jupiter 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 Jupiter on it as well as for Emerald gems which were strung all over it.

"Welcome back to the service of the Planet Earth General Nephrite!" King Endorian stated with pride in his voice.

"Thank you your majesties for this honor!" Nephrite 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!" Nephrite said as he disappeared from the room.

Meanwhile back on the playground of Juuban Elementary, Sailor Jupiter and the Cardian known now as Sushiana and the two aliens were all still in the grip of a battle while the other scouts along with Kunzite were still wrapped up like a bunch of sushi themselves. Then all of a sudden a freak lightning storm came out of nowhere causing both the aliens and Jupiter to look around.

"What's going on here? Is this your doing Jupiter?" Alan asked.

"No you idiot I'm not the one doing this!" Jupiter hissed.

"I believe I'm the one responsible for this storm!" A masculine voice hissed from behind the cardian.

When everyone including those who were tied up at the moment looked to see who had spoken they all saw Nathan Sanada standing up with his eyes and forehead blocked by his hair as he was looking at the ground. When he finally did look up the people on the playground saw the green insignia of Earth upon his brow.

"What do you think you can do to stop me human?" Sushiana asked as she laughed evilly.

"I believe I can do a lot to stop you witch! Jupiter Sword!" Nathan yelled as a long Emerald green sword appeared out of thin air.

"I was hoping you'd show up sooner or later my Lightning count!" Jupiter said as her memories of the man before her returned.

"Sorry to keep you waiting my Thunder Heart! I'll help you rescue your brother and the others once we're done. For now, it is time to show this creature why you don't mess with the Earth or those who are charged with protecting it! I call upon my birthright, General Nephrite!" Nathan yelled as he grasped the hilt of his sword.

After grasping the hilt of his sword Nathan was wrapped up a sea of bright lightning that surrounded his entire body. With in seconds the lightning dissipated leaving behind a man wearing green armor with silver streaks running over the breastplate. A long flowing green cape hung from his shoulder plates and his sword now rested in the scabbard at his side.

"Who are you?" Sushana asked as she took a few steps backwards.

"I am General Nephrite second in command of the Earth's armies and leader of her Air forces! I am also known to some in my close nit group as the Guardian of Jupiter and you creature of evil have attacked the people of Earth for the first and let me assure you last time! Thunder Destroyer!" Nephrite yelled as he sent a large ball of lightning crashing towards the cardian before him.

"Ahhhh!" Sushana cried out as she was hit by Nephrite's attack. After a few moment she regained her energy and stood up.

"No how is that possible? How is it that you survived my attack?" Nephrite asked.

"Easy General of Lightning I am a lot stronger then you think! Now I shall be the one to destroy you!" Sushana laughed as she began walking towards Nephrite. As she was walking towards him; however, she inadvertently stepped on Jupiter's homemade food.

"How dare you step on that food!" Sailor Jupiter yelled.

[Um I think it's time we left this place Ann because I think Sushana just pissed off Sailor Jupiter!], Alan sent towards Ann.

[I totally agree with you!], Ann returned before both aliens teleported out of the playground.

"So what it is merely just a bunch of junk anyway!" Sushana laughed as she stomped on the food to prove her point.

"I'll give you junk you witch!" Jupiter hissed as she closed her eyes and clasped her hands together in front of her face. A second later she opened her eyes and yelled out, "I call upon the heavens of Jupiter to bring forth the creature of this cardians destruction! Jupiter Thunder Dragon!" Jupiter yelled as a lightning bolt in the shape of a large Dragon appeared out of her antenna that went flying right at the cardian.

"Noooo this isn't possible!" Sushana cried out before she turned to nothing but dust this also freed the others from their bonds.

"There that ends her reign of terror!" Jupiter said as she began to fall towards the ground out of exhaustion. Before she hit the ground; however, she found herself in the strong arms of the man she loved.

"Easy there Thunderheart!" Nephrite said as he hugged her to him.

"Good to see you again Nephrite and thanks for catching my sister." Sailor Knight said with a smile.

"You're very welcome, I must say that it feels good to be back." Nephrite said.

"Will Sailor Jupiter be okay?" Sailor Venus asked worry evident on her face.

"Yes she's just tired!" Mercury said as she ran a scan of Jupiter with her mini computer.

"Then I think we should all head home for the night." Sailor Moon suggested.

"That is an excellent idea Sailor Moon." Kunzite agreed.

"Right after having my breath almost ripped out of my body, I feel like I need plenty of rest." Mars said with a sigh.

"Okay, see you all later." Sailor Moon said as she detransformed into her everyday self of Serena Tsukino.

"Bye!" The others exclaimed.

As soon as the other scouts and generals followed suit they all went to help take Lita home before most of them left for their own homes leaving Nathan and Jason to watch over Lita for the night.
