Hello! I'm General Peterson Usual Disclaimers - This story itself is mine! mine! mine! Any other characters you do not know is mine also (unless I say so). Sailormoon is owned by its lucky owners Naoko Takeuchi/Kodasha and TOEI Animations. Indroduced to the U.S by D.I.C. Indroduction This story starts in the future and evolves in the past when a time change occured. You can send flames,comments,ideas and others to general_p@hotmail.com or visit my web page at www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Pagoda/2790 Time Change Part 1 ------------------ Let's start the story ! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was peaceful in Crystal Tokyo after centuries of peace after the elimination of the entire Dark Kingdom and other obstacles. The sailor senshi had virually nothing to do. Reeny had returned to this time after her visit to the past, but now a teenager. Suddenly, a message arrived to me,General Peterson, the appointed leader to the royal army of Crystal Tokyo. The message was also sent to other important members of the council. After I wore my coat, I ran to the Meeting Chambers where now, all the ones concerned were grouped. After myself, Reeny came and Queen Serenity started, "We are here now because of Metallia and a phenomenon seen and felt by Sailor Pluto which she has done. I think she can start explaning things now." Sailor Pluto explained,"If my senses are correct, a time change will occur in four hours. It is because of Metallia. She has escaped the dimensional prison by travelling back in time, she went to the past and has also changed the past. I will want to send another person here with Reeny to go back to the past and help our past selves destroy Metallia again." Everyone in the chamber started murmuring to each other. Then Lita spoke up, "If in the past, Queen Serenity and the other senshi destroyed Metallia and Beryl, why after Metallia from this future which went back to the past to merge with the other Metallia then they could not ?" Sailor Pluto immediately answered, "Yes, that is a good question. It is because that the Metallia from the future has more experience in magic to help her past self so we need someone here who had experience to help in the past. She has practiced the art of dark magic during her years of imprisonment, even though she has lost almost all her powers. So do we have any volunteers ? If there are none, I would like to ask General Peterson to do it." The result was inevitable. It was decided that I had to accept the mission. It was not that bad anyway. So I said, "Yes, I just hope it will be fast." "Good, I will give you one hour to prepare for the mission. You will be granted a time key to use to go back and forth a few times in time. I would like to explain to you that it is a very dangerous mission and I would like you to swear an oath to keep secret anything that is important and could cause another time paradox. You are well versed in the Rules Of Time, you should know what to do. Is this agreed ?". "Yes, I swear to keep any important information secret,"I sweared. "After I have sent you and Reeny to the past, I will stop time so that you will not disappear in this time and so in the past. You can go and start packing now,"Sailor Pluto said. I rose up and ran to my living quarters. It was a fairly big place to stay in the palace and was lightly ornamented except for my great collection of certificates of appreciation and medals. I took what I needed. I took my clothes and my notebook computer. Then I studied my dangerous defence and attack spells to refresh my memory on them. I decided not to take weapons since it would be dangerous if someone took it. Then I realised it was already one hour, so I ran to the meeting chamber again with my equipment. Upon reaching there, I was given a time key by Sailor Pluto and she said, "I hope you will keep this key well. The only thing you need to do to work this time key is to hold it tightly and concentrate to where and when you want to go. If this time key malfunctions, you can use your own Time Gate spells to get back here. Are you ready ?". "Yes,"I answered. "Good. Now I will transport you with Reeny so please take care of her. Not that I don's trust our past selves but ........Never mind.". I then held Reeny's hands. I was her teacher and guardian even though she had Luna P and Diana. This time she would be able to take Diana back to the past with her. "Never mind, uncle. You should know I have already time travelled before. So, I won't be scared so please don't hold my hand so tightly," Reeny said. "Huh,"I murmured then I realised I was holding Reeny's hand very tightly so I released my grip on her. I realised after that, Reeny activated the time key to prove her point. Then I suddenly appeared near Ami's house. There I fell down and I was knocked out of my senses. Amy hearing the impact went outside to find out. "What ! Reeny ! Didn't you just go back ?" she shouted. Then she saw me unconcious and asked, "Who is that ?". "He is the General of the royal army in the future and is also my teacher so please help him. He must have knocked out when we time travelled here. It's all my fault," Reeny said. Amy then made scans of General Peterson. He was only unconcious and then she called the other senshi by her communicator, "Quick, this is and emergency. Reeny has came with a friend. He is unconcious now. I think you all shoud come here. Luckily my mother is in Australia.". After ten minutes, I woke up and received stares from everyone including Luna and Artemis. Then I saw Serena and said, "Hello, Queen Serenity.". Then I realised that she was not the queen YET and said, "Oh, I'm sorry, Serena. Oh,how could I forget to introduce myself ? I am General Peterson, Lord General to the Royal Army of Crystal Tokyo and also teacher and guardian to Reeny. I am also an Arch-Mage of Magic." Then I heard murmuring among them. "Okay, why are you here with Reeny. She had just returned anyway. I started to like it without her pestering me,"Serena whined. "Oh, that. I am here because the future Sailor Pluto or Setsuna as you call her sent us here a time change will occur. The future Queen Metallia has come to the past and merged with the present Metallia giving them a good chance to win you when you fight because of its increase in magical powers. We are here to help you," I explained. "That's why the youma's now are so damn confident. They must have expected that their queen gave them more power and experience with us," Haruka said also known to me as Sailor Uranus in the future. Her girlfriend must be Michiru. "Yes, but there are ways to defeat Queen Metallia still,"I said. Ami asked, "But how ?". I thought for a while thinking for what to say. I was afraid that if I told anything, it would cause time paradox's but I still needed to tell. "As you know, the Silver Imperium Crystal is the most powerful object in the universe. The late Queen Serenity had died because of using the Crystal. To use the full powers of the Crystal without dying is to master the way to use it. High concentration for weeks are needed," I explained. "So now you are telling us that only the Crystal can help us ! Why are you so sure Serena will not die ?"Darien shouted angrily. "I am very sure because I have used it before and have trained Reeny how to do it partially."I said calmly. "What, that's impossible ! Only members of the Royal Family can use it," Ami said frustratedly. "Yes, that is true but if a person can control and master the ways and the elements of the Crystal, it is possible to use it but the members of the Royal Family have the bloodline needed to do faster control.I meditated with the Crystal for two years to master how to use it," I explained again."So if you actually took two years, why should I can do it in a few weeks ?" Serena asked.(Sweatdrop time!)"Because you are a descendant of the Royal Family, stupid ! Didn't he already explain that !"Raye said exasperated. "Don't call me stupid, stupid !"Serena shouted and both of them started their usual tongue fights. Then suddenly, a scream was heard near Amy's house. "Let's go there !"Darien shouted. ************** Once the senshi and the others reached the place where they heard the screams, they transformed. They did not rattle out their usual speech since there was no Sailor Moon anywhere. Serena hid behind a tree and then transformed. Moon Eternal Power ! Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Venus attacked first. After the lightning strike, a long chain of hearts tied up a youma trying to drain life-force. It was decided that it was time to destroy the damned monster. "Be quick Sailor Moon, eliminate it ! "the sailor senshi shouted. It was thought that the youma was destroyed since everyone shouted, "Yes, we won !". But no, the monster did not even get hurt. It then shouted, "Ha! Ha! A bad excuse for warriors ! Take this! " The attack was EXTREMELY strong, since all the senshi including Tuxedo Mask dropped. I instantaneously remembered my mission and lauched a magical attack type Level 1. A bright white light was seen and the monster was destroyed. ---------------------- "What happened ? Why are we back in Amy's house," Setsuna asked. "All of you fainted when I lauched a magical attack at the monster that destroyed it," I explained trying to hide my pride. "Very funny. How could YOU destroy that monster when we could not ?"they asked simutaneously. "Easy, I am more powerful than you all a few TRILLION times !"I answered exasperatedly. "Or else, how do you think I am the only SELF appointed general of Crystal Tokyo. "If you actually want to know, I am also the KING of the Imperial Government. I just stepped dow from being king of everything just to educate the descendents of the Royal Families,"I continued. "Yep, he's right. Queen Serenity and King Endymion explained it before," Diana the cat said.Luna and Artemis also seemed confused even though they were Diana's parents and was supposed to know. "Hmm, I thought the Moon Kingdom Royal Family was already the most powerful kingdom in the solar system. How would I know there was an Imperial Government ?"Darien said. "Maybe you would like to tell a story about it ?"Michiru asked. "Why not ?"I answered. ------------------------ "During the past age, where the humans and other creatures had settled down and evil started running their schemes, a family known of its great qualities emerged and made a government out of the galaxy they were living in. After many good administration plans, the government expanded through out the universe. After a few milleniums, the whole universe had joined the Imperial Government which it was called. The family did not even try to proclaim to become the complete rulers. They did not even use the wealth given to them but the people and other members of the government forced them to use the wealth. It was decided that that family needed repayment.The family was proclaimed the Royal Family and expanded.The Royal Family's heirs married other descendents of other royalties till the Royal Family was truly mixed. No one could complain that only one race was members of the Royal Family. It was done so there was no jealousy. It is because that my father married the last of all royalties, the Mercurians and had me but after that, it was said that all descendents should marry their own cousins. Then the evil stuff came in when the leaders of the Evil Periphery started invading. They were defeated because of the great powers of the Supreme Star Crystal,the heirloom of the Imperial Government Royal Family. The evil people were locked up forever. But after time, the seal broke but the most powerful evil were already been destroyed due of long imprisonment without life force. The evil leaders tried to bring revenge on us but repeatedly failed. The evil sects got more weaker and weaker until now. After that, the Imperial Government Royal Family proclaimed that they would break up the Imperial Government and now all galaxies would have to rule on their own so that the rulers could get more experience in complete ruling.The Supreme Star Crystal was given to its last heir,me." I said completing my story. "Wow, I almost couldn't believe it but with Diana's confirmation, I will. I still don't believe the 'morphing into a girl' part.I still don't know why you would settle becoming a teacher and a Lord General when could be king since the Imperial Government breakup ?. All the governments would join your ranks,"Lita asked."It was the rules. I was suppose to be a teacher to all royalty descendents so they would be able to become great leaders. I just did not train you or the others before you because I had to complete a long journey to learn about some lost information and also to make plans to teach. It was so difficult just to obtain the lost data, "I explained. "So, how did you teach Reeny ? She did not tell anyone about you,"Serena said. "Oh, you don't want to know. This is quite embarassing for me but I will tell you. Once I actually morphed into a small girl and became friends with her but I told her about it eventually. Wow, it was a learning experience. Luckily I had time to watch the actions of small girls to know how to act.,"I explained embarassed. Everyone laughed louder than the world would. "Yes, all of you can stop laughing now. I am embarassed enough. Serena, I will start teaching you to control the Silver Imperium Crystal tomorrow. So who am I suppose to stay with ?"I asked. *************** I was taken to Lita's home condominium. During the walk to the lif, the landlord came and asked, "Oh, before I forget. Did you pay your rent yet?" "Just great, how could I forget that ? Here, I will give you a check," Lita said. After she signed the check, I got a glimpse of the amount before it was given to the landlord. *What the hell! 1 million yen. How did she get this kind of money* After arriving inside her apartment, I went for a bath. After taking it, I changed to casual clothing inside the package I brought. It was sealed so that no one could open it.*Good, I hope no one tries anyway*. "Hey, come and help me cook !"Lita shouted from the kitchen. I ran into the kitchen and saw that she was cooking. "Okay, what am I supposed to help with ?"I asked. "Fry the vegetables. I would like to see how you cook anyway,"Lita exclaimed. (Lita thinking *I would not count into eating the vegetables anyway*) I then fried the vegetables. "Mmm, this is delicious. You are even better than me,"Lita said. "Nope, this is just because I have had more experience. The future Lita is much better than me,"I explained. She then starts to speak but hesitates,"Can you ...tell me anything about my future self ?" *I could tell her something but not everything* "Okay, what would you like to ask about ?"I asked her. **************** *That was close. I almost blurted out everything.* During the Q&A session during dinner, she almost took out everything I knew. The clothes I wore changed by my mind order. This was one of the good stuff. I woke up the next morning at seven o'clock. My fast exit awakened Lita and she asked, "Why so early ?" "I have to wake Serena. She has a training session coming up. I know she is a klutz. I was told specially about that," I explained. When I reached her house, I knocked on the door. Serena's mother was already awake. She opened the door and asked who I was. I said, "I am Serena's new friend. I need to wake her up for a training session." She shrugged not confident with my objectives. I ran up to her room and knocked the door. Since no one answered, I entered the room. It was a nice and cosy room but I expected more from the young Queen Serenity. Even though, Queen Serenity is modest about her ornaments, she still has taste. I saw Serena and Reeny sleeping. I shaked them and shouted in their ears, "Wake up !" Both of them simutaneously said the same thing, "A little more sleep. I won't be late, mama." *Time to use harder ways* I then charged my hand with electro-static energy and touched both girls. They woke up with a jolt. "What !"they shouted. Then they saw me and asked, "What now ?" "Time for both of your training,remember ,"I explained. They then murmured and changed. Then, all of us went down. The girls and their family started eating breakfast. Ikuko-mama asked me, "Have you eaten ?" "Yes, I have eaten"I lied. After breakfast, I took Serena and Reeny to a park and shielded it with energy and cloaking shields. Then, I telephaticly summoned the other senshi. "What the hell !"Raye shouted when she heard my telephatic message.The still sleeping senshi were awakened by the telephatic message. The park itself was as though it was empty even though I and the two girls were there. The emphatic-shields were working fine to do a specific mind control job on anyone tempted to go to the park even near it. They arrived in thirty minutes. After walking into the park, Hotaru wailed, "What are we doing here at 7.30 in the morning ?" "Please, I hope to start the training immediately and one of the conditions is to wake up early. Is that understandable ?"I said. "Yes, sir ,"they answered mockingly. Physical training was easy for Sailor Uranus and Jupiter but the rest were normal except for Serena. She was not very good in physical training as I knew. I called Serena to come to a corner which I was standing at and asked her to take out the Silver Imperium Crystal, "I am going to start training you to control the Crystal so please pay attention !"I told her. "You'll have to concentrate onto the Crystal to tap the power source before using the power for a task. This will enable you to use the power of the Crystal without draining your life force which can kill. Start concentrating now !"I explained quite rapidly. She then started concentrating. It was quite easy to tap the power but not totally gripping the power of the Crystal properly. her face was drained of colour after her concentration. She kept trying anyway. After a few hours, which went past quite fast, she actually got it. A temporary total tap on the Crystal's power amd the power to harness it. Darien took her and said,"Rest, Serena. You look real tired." Even though I was considerate, I still had to continue mental training. "Sorry, she can rest but the rest of you will continue mental training." Darien said, "What, we are tired you know ! Can you let us rest ?" "Please continue this. First lessons must be completed with mental training. It is a regulation. Anyway, the only thing you would need to do is some meditation and a dreamscape training procedure. After they were briefed on how to do the meditation, they sat down and meditated for thirty minutes. The senshi felt like they were sleeping. It was so relaxing. It was actually like heaven after the physical training. Then suddenly, they were awakened after the allocated time. "Okay, that's finished but I do not know why I feel refreshed," Ami said. "The meditation clears your stress and also helps you relieve tiredness. Now, you will start to enter a dreamscape.Prepare for ANY SITUATION !" ************ In Rei's Dreamscape Rei appeared in ancient China, in a village. Then, she felt herself whipped. She looked up and saw a Chinese General named Lu-Bu. She remembered all this because of her Chinese history books she read last year. *Just great, why do I end up to a psycho-general and in ancient China. And also being whipped as as slave.* "Serve me, get me my food, slave or else ...." Lu-Bu said. Rei tried transforming but failed so she had to follow. "Yes," she said terrified."Say it again," Lu-Bu shouted. "Yes,master," she said. She found the food lying on a wooden table and took it to the Chinese general. She didn't think she would actually do this. It seem too real. Everything could be touched, broken and any other thing you would like to do. After feeding the general, she saw that he slept....(Author's comment - Not like you think it is !) In Ami's Dreamscape "What, impossible. How could I not pass that enrollment exam to the university ?,"Ami shouted without even realising that she was already in dreamscape. She then dropped the phone. After a few minutes, she then remembered and that restored her confidence. She then started scanning and checking this dimension. She got an answer after a few hours. The Ami in this dreamscape that she had taken over had not studied and was as carefree as Serena. She actually FAILED in the enrollment test. She had hope in passing that enrolment exam since she had burned the midnight oil every day. On the exam, it actually seemed EASY. She still cound not believe that she could ever fail even though in any other alternate realities unless it was set up. No one that I know can set up a dream except Wiseman which they had defeated. She still hoped that she could get out of the dreamscape. She did not want to feel the failure ... In Lita's Dreamscape 'Where am I ?' she thought. She found herself in empty space, somewhere in a zone which she was an observer. An observer of other's HAPPINESS. She didn't actually have a family anymore. Only Serena and Ami have active families. Rei only had her granpa. She now saw Darien and Serena together in the main park. She tried not to think about it since she knew that this was only a dreamscape which was always entered by living beings when sleeping. 'How could that general build an alternate dreamscape. He must be powerful.' she thought. Then, she saw them TOGETHER. Really near. She held back tears. Now she remembered the past. Her family died. She had no one. She had a boyfriend of course. Ken, the Jupiter Knight. He was in China, trough an exchange program. He was scheduled to be back in a month. Then, another situation arised. Serena was with her family on the beach. They were having fun. This time she couldn't stand it. She cried .... In Mina's Dreamscape She appeared somewhere in England that she knew quite well. After a while, she realised that she had transformed to her old self, Sailor V. There were many reporters and fans running towards her. "What the hell !" she shouted. She then ran away from the area but the crowd kept following her. *Haaaa ! Help ! Why can't they stop ? Are they superhuman or what ?* It was an endless run. The crowd still kept following and asking for autographs and photographs with her. She did not want to end up as mince meat ...... In Serena and Darien's Dreamscape She appeared in a meeting with Darien. He was very angry and demanded to stop the marraige. Darien was suprised after he said those things. He did not even know why she scolded her. She was just too innoccent to harm. He then ran to somewhere which Serena did not see and started thinking. Even though the general had asked them to be ready for any situation, she still cried. She never expected that Darien would someday dump her and right on the MARRAIGE ceremony. She ran off to where she taught was home. Once near the front door of her supposed house in the dreamscape, she was scolded by her father,"Get the hell away from here. How dare you leave with that jerk ?". She then collapsed on the floor .... In Haruka and Michiru's Dreamscape She had just awakened from a nightmare. Even though she realised she never had this nightmares before, her brain encouraged her to believe that. Michiru woke up instantly after Haruka awakened. "You must have had the same nightmares again. What happened this time ?"she said patiently. Michiru herself didn't know why she said that. It was like someone implanted it in her brain. She didn't remember Haruka having nightmares after seeing the psychiatrist last year. She knew that her lover and got rid of the nightmares. Haruka just blurted out what she remembered before Michiru finished thinking, "We were both in the dining room. Then, suddenly a monster emerged from nowhere and attacked us. Then, a big projectile was in sight and locked on to you. I just saw you die there !" Haruka cried in Michiru's hands....... ************ Quite disturbed, I thought why I could not think of a dreamscape for Hotaru. She just had all the experiences I wanted for her to experience. Maybe next time I will find a dreamscape for her to be in. Hotaru was just lying down sleeping soundly. ************ The sailor senshi suddenly woke up in the middle of their dreamscapes. "Why did you have to give me that dreamscape ?"Lita shouted angrily and sobbing. "What, you got those sad situations too ? "Serena asked. Each and one of them started conferring in loud voices. I spoke up, "I am sorry but I had to know the level of your fears. I thought you would have had better resistance since you all knew it was just a dreamscape,". The group started calming down and asked if the training was complete. They appologised for their behaviour and returned home. I went seperately to a exquisite restaurant. There, I found and empty table and sat down. After ordering my food, I relaxed and listened to the music played. I paid the bill for the meal after finished eating. My computer must have generated money for my stay here, I thought. ************** I used my enhanced teleportation skills to reach Lita's house. There, I saw her sleeping on the couch. *She looks beautiful. Just like her future self. I hope they will survive trough this. I sat down and projected a few screens of tactical maps. I had to start planning to attack the enemy base since my time limit is running out. The main enemy base situated and coordinates ALPHA-2 were heavily fortified. Even trying to go a kilometer's reach to the base would be dangerous. Queen Beryl might already know of my arrival and that we were going to attack. I thought to myself, "My magic alone could destroy anything. I just wished I did not need to follow time lines. Having to let the senshi alone defeat Beryl and the rest of the Negaverse. I then smelled a peculiar odour which I reconized. I stood up and saw two youma behind me. They had dropped a few Negaversal Gas Bombs. Lita had already woke up and transformed when she smelled the gas. I put on a shield surrounding her to prevent and gas or projectiles to hurt her. Lita called the rest using her communicator, "Hurry, two youma has appeared in my house." I attacked the youma with a few attack spells which easily neutralised them. Lita was complaining because it was so easy. But that was not the case. Ten more youma appeared in the house and started attacking. Suddenly, the door to the house opened and a few humans appeared. They attacked the youma to the death. The last two youma were strangled to death by my Snake Encircle Attack. "Hmmph, if you were to stay here forever. This world would be exterminated of all evil beings. It's just no fun !"they complained. ****************** Serena today went out with Darien to buy some clothes. They went to the Blaton Mall. "The clothes here looks nice. Let go in." said Serena. Darien thinking, "Just great. Wasting my time here and also wasting my money. At least she doesn't spend so much anymore." "Why not,"Darien replied and then both of them entered the shop. They emerged out of the shop after buying a few clothes. They proceeded to return home. Darien looked at Serena. Darien thought, "She is beautiful. I think I better propose marraige to her. But first I'll have to buy a ring.* ****************** The next day, the senshi and Darien appeared again at the park. Physical tests and training were already familliarized even though this was just their second training session. Mental training was much more difficult, none of them wanted to repeat the dreamscape. "Okay, let's say if I designed a happy dreamscape. Would you all go in then ?"I said. They thought for a while and said, "Why not, General ?". I felt rather strange when they called me General. The last time a friend and student called me that, she died. *FLASHBACK* Ariri went to the training center first and I followed. Then suddenly, I heard a scream. Hearing it, I ran quickly toward her. "Haha, your student will be dead in minutes from now. The draining process is very fast now,"a humanoid shaped monster shouted. "Help, General !"Ariri whispered. "How dare you ?"I shouted and shot a few of my most powerful attack spells to get rid of the monster and ran towards Ariri. She was already dead when I reached there. That was the last time I cried. *END OF FLASHBACK* I just could not stand that memory. It was too saddening. One of my best students dying in front of my eyes. Thinking what I did after that, I smiled. At least the whole damn evil Sinxverse was destroyed in revenge. "General, what are you doing ? Are we going to continue this or what?"Haruka said. "Yes, and don't call me general.f Call me Peter," I said. "Fine," they chorused. "Okay , when I said happy. Maybe this dreamscape will be too happy." I said. ***************** After that lesson, I went home with Lita. I decided to find myself another house to live in so I would not disturb Lita. She actually did not agree since Ken was away for an exchange course in Australia. She had hopes that I will stay so I would actually help her in the HOUSEWORK. The next morning, I went to a jewellery store to ask for as job. Just for fun anyway but my instincts told be differently. It was like the shop was surrounded with evil vibes. I had to check this out. How would I know if it was controlled by the Negaverse ? I then entered and asked for a job. I felt myself scanned magicly by the manager there. Luckily I cloaked my powers with shields. They agreed instantly after knowing that I was a normal human. The manager thinking, "This guy has a lot of energy. We will have lot of time to take it." ***************** ------------------------------------------------------------------ End for NOW.
