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 g_peterson@geocities.com or visit my web page at www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Pagoda/2790 Time Change 2 ------------- Let's start the story ! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I settled down in this time for already about 1 month. I could not let down the Crystal Tokyo council. I had followed up to the latest news of the Negaverse. I found out that the shop which I was working at were controlled by the Negaverse minions. They were selling jewellery which took your energy slowly so you would never know and they would get a life long supply of it. The sailor scouts almost bought them until I warned them about the fake jewellery. After a few weeks, the sailor senshi/scouts had mastered the arts of fighting, mental powers and an enchancement of their original powers. I realised that they were ready for the final battle. I then called them to come to my house to be briefed. They reached my house looking quite sad. "Hello, you know that the Negaverse has progressed from normal to extremely powerful. I hope after briefing all of you, you will fight till your deaths. Don't be scared. You will survive this battle since I have moderate time visions that say you do,"I explained. "Yeah, that's what you think. But why don't you destroy the Negaverse yourself ? "Darien shouted. "Please do not get angry. You surely know the concept of a time paradox. According to the time line, you all have to destroy the Negaverse not anyone else, "I replied. Darien, giving up on the subject said, "All right, I hope you have the relevant information of the base." I replied by saying, "Yes, I have already studied and analised the base structure, defence, offence, sector and others. It is positioned in the middle of a very isolated place. The base sector itself is an important defence of the base since it can hide many monsters or defences such as traps. Ami will be constantly using her computer to scan the sector of the area and the perimeters. You will be avoiding most of the traps and monsters so you all can conserve energy. I have invented a few magic bombs which eliminate anything evil in a kilometers radius. Queen Beryl and Metallia are not totally affected by this bombs. The bombs will only weaken them but it is still useful. Each of you will be supplied 5 of these bombs. Since you will be in a group. I hope you will conserve the bombs." I then gave them notes about the base. "And, I will have to travel to the astral plane dimension to do something. I want you all to wait for me till I return,"I said. *************** I was feeling quite guilty because of lying to the sailor scouts but I just had to do something. I had to stop the Negaverse to running anywhere. This is to make sure that time paradox's don't happen. The real time line was that the sailor's defeat the Negaverse and the base was never transported anywhere else. The Negaverse capabillities are now far more advanced than the original time line. *************** The senshi were resting on the couches in the General's house. "Peter has good taste you know. At least to fit anyone who visits his house,"Mina said. The senshi thought the same. Not too expensive and not too cheap, his furniture. Then a sudden flash of light was seen by the scouts. "A monster, quick attack it,"Serena as Sailormoon. It was quite easy to destroy but the monster's main objectives was to injure the sailor scouts. Every one of the scouts was hurt after the fight. MAJOR damage. That was also when General Peterson returned to the house. "What the hell happened ?"I shouted. "Oh, never mind. I'll have to send you all to the hospital first,"I continued after looking at their condition. "No need to do that. Its not that bad, is it ?"Raye said. "You'll have to go. Battle or no battle. I'll have to postpone it. You all are just damn to injured to do anything. Just a few days will be enough,"I replied. I then teleported them to the lobby of the hospital. No one saw since everyone was occupied. The doctors then took over. I the middle of the procedure, Raye asked again, "Why do you think they did this ?" "My first hunch is that they just want to give themselves a few days extra to add defences and power up their monsters,"I said. "The bombs I was suppose to give you will have to be upgraded,"I continued. "I will have to see the Negaversal Power Levels now and also weaken it if it is needed. According to my last use, you all will feel large amounts of evil energy flowing from the Negaverse base to me. I will explain the process later,"I explained. I then started the process. Concentrating energy molecules at the enemy base, I summoned my extreme powers of energy levels at that base.*What is happening ? God damn it. They are transporting part of the main life patterns to another dimension.* mindspoke a voice from the base. It was definitely evil. The voice was set at a public level. Anyone could here it, including the sailor scouts. the mindvoice said. It was evident that this voice was transmitted from a very powerful mindspeaker. I mindspoke back to the voice that I reconized as Queen Beryl's voice, This battle was getting more complex evry minute. The Negaverse was not the only threat to the reign of the princess before she becomes Queen. I terminated the link to the Negaversal Base. I turned around and was confronted with confused and frightened looks. ************ "Hello, Mergreth. Fate has brought us two evils together. With this alliance we forged, we will defeat all good. The dimension which you control is very powerful and has reached high level advancement. It will be ideal for power takings," boomed the voice of Queen Beryl. "Yes, that is true. But as you know, I am much more powerful than you or you sect your dimension calls Negaverse even though I am defeated in this realm by much more powerful good leaders. The dimension which you dominate now as the evil queen is not strong enough to fight you yet. This dimension which you landed upon and the same which I exsisted to forge an alliance with you is much more advanced. The records I got from my Time Knights about the time line of your dimension has clarified my suspisions. You are supposed to be defeated," the being in the dark said. "Hah, I am powerful and can be said equal to you. Beryl has been given 'high scale powers' so do NOT underestimate me or my servant even you have the records of my loss in battle. I have information that you would like to know that will change the way you think of me," Queen Metallia's voice suddenly said arrogantly. By that words, Queen Beryl who knew about the situation mind linked with Mergreth and told her story by her mind. Mergreth himself was frightened by the situations the future Queen Metallia had. Living in isolation with only a few percent of your soul was extremely tormenting. "Yes, I suppose you are right. You HAVE lived far longer that I since my father was the one who always waged most of the MAJOR battles. I have had only a few with the Guardians of the Sky Lords. Recieve my appologies for such harsh remarks about your loss," Mergreth said quite simply. "I also realise that your nemesis the Sailor Scouts will be here. I could not help but overhear your mindspeak conversation. Perhaps you would like to tell me about them,"Mergreth said, quite excited knowing that the Sailor Scouts were no match in the Skyron dimension. But he was not sure after the recent called time change due to the time travel done by Queen Metallia and a man named General Peterson. Mergreth continued, "Also about a man named General Peterson. He seems to be a powerful nemesis." "True, the general is also a powerful royalty. The information about the scouts will not be easy to tell but I sense that you already know about General Peterson since he and your nemesis, the Guardians of the Sky Lords DEFEATED your father or shall I say kill," Queen Metallia said emphasizing on the 'defeated' word. "Yes, this general is powerful or you can say the most powerful in the ultraverse, millions of universes. My father's death will be revenged but you are quite wrong. The general never INTENDED to kill my father. He was too GOOD. Of course,no one intended to KILL anyway. It just had to come, " Mergreth continued with hate to the general burning up in his eyes. Mergreth's look could be terrifiying to anyone else except Beryl or Metallia. Beryl told her part about the scouts. *********** "Is it true that the Negaverse has been transfered ? We heard that mindvoice, if that was what it is called,"Serena asked choking back tears. "Yes, my dear. It is true. The battle will continue in another dimension. Because of that, I hope you all will cooperate. I will try to heal you then we will take a inter-dimensional portal to that dimension,"I explained then continues, "There I will extend your training since Mergreth has joined the battle as one evil being. I have no time to teach you all here. Is this understood ?" "Why not ?" Lita said. The healing proccess was easy. Many of the wounds disappeared. They could be considered good as new. They were fit for dimensional travel. I continued, "The dimension which we are going to travel to are new to you. I have gone there before and they only know me. A quite few years ago, I killed Rateld, the king of evil. His son now is the prime source of evil and is the main target Beryl and Metallia will go to. After crossing the dimensional border, each of us will be in separate places. Please do not move anywhere unless you find your way. I will find you." I then gave each of them a letter and continued, "Give this letter to anyone you see. This will introduce you and will bring you to the palace. Remember, you have twins there but not indentical to you all. They are just your Dimensional Twins. They are also royalty and Guardians." Then I conjured a Twin Class Dimensional Gate. Each and one of them entered it and disappeared. I entered it and was taken to the Skyron dimension. ************ Upon reaching there, I saw Reeth, one of Skykin and Guardians. They live a quite long life, approximately 1000 years but since the arcane powers of Crystal Tokyo and its mirror dimensions, they lived forever. Reeth actually saw me first and said in atonishment, " Peter, good to see you, why are you here ?" I replied," To defeat a new nemesis, this time with a few friends from the past. I'll explain later. What are the new summoning pattern codes for the Skykin ?" "The Pattern is 00119920-ALPHA. This will ring their communicators," Reeth answered. After a few mental calls, the summoning was done. I immediately was escorted by Reeth to the palace. Before entering the Royal Guards stopped me and said, "Who are you ? You are forbidden to enter without permission." I continued laughingly, "I guess you guards are new. I am General Peterson, Commander to the Royal Army of Crystal Tokyo." They said with surprised looks on their faces, "General, we are sorry. You may enter now." I walked through the main corridors of the palace and reached the main meeting chamber, equal to the ones in Crystal Tokyo. The Skykin rushed to the meeting chamber upon reaching the palace after hearing the summoning call. The call was reconized as from the general which they grew to like. "At last, this council is complete. The situation now is that one of the evil beings from the Silver Millenium dimension one thousand years ago has transferred its source her. Needing us to defeat it here. This evil is from my time equivilent here but it came back to the past to attack the young Queen Serenity and her Guardians. They have already forged an alliance with Mergreth that could mean that we will also need to destroy him. Now the only thing we neeed to do is to find the girls that I sent here. After teaching them somemore, then only I will send them back to destroy the remnants of the Negaversal Pattern in my own dimension. You all already know the rules of time lines, please do not tell anything that could damage the time lines," I ended. "Okay, we will do it but this is a GRAVE situation," Relene, the most powerful healer in Skyron said. I used the mindscan to locate the senshi with Darien and told the coordinates to the Skykin. "I would also like Ilmiri to stay here, she is still quite young for the Skykin. Her teleportation and Speed-Flying is not matured enough to carry another person," I explained. Ilmiri did not complain though. ************ "Where are we ?" Serena asked Darien, looking out to see anyone coming. "I don't really know. I have mixed memories of this place. If I could recall, this place is the Royal Training Ground," he replied. "That's funny. I also seem I have seen this place before but never mind. I'll ask him later," Serena continued. Then they heard a loud voice, "Hello, I am Relene, one of the Guardians of the Sky Lords. Peter sent me here to get you back to the palace." "At LAST," they said and continued speaking,"How are we suppose to go there ?" Skykin looked very like humans but more like angels. They had wings on their back and were a few the size of normal six-feet humans. Relene was already considered an adult after living for more than a millenium. The Skykin also wore quite formal clothes, with an opening at the back for their wings. "Oh, just come here and hold my hands. I have teleportation skills," Relene answered. They obeyed and reached the palace in a matter of seconds. "Hey, where are we ?" Mina said. Her cat Artemis was beside her. Artemis knew this place real well. He had come here a few times before during the Silver Millenium. It was for diplomatic missions or to visit the Skykin. "This is the Palace Vegetable Farm," Artemis answered. "Hey, how do YOU know ?" she asked. "I HAVE come here before during the Silver Millenium. Since that was a millinia before, I am not sure," Artemis replied and suddenly found himself transforming into a man again. This was surprising to him until he remembered that when transporting to another dimension such as this one, he could change to a Lunarian easily. Mina turned her head and said, "Arte... Artemis. What are you doing in human form ?" He answered and changed back to a cat, "It was automatical." Then Reeth appeared looking quite like Lita's brother if she had one. The proccess was simillar with them as with Serena and Darien, they were teleported to the palace. The rest of the senshi were transported to the palace by Ryan, Lilian, Telphis, Elane and Delphi. They were brought to the main Meeting Chamber. ************ In the Meeting Chamber, there were sounds of laughter. I reentered it and said, "Okay, please be seated where your titles are listed." Everyone complied with the order. I continued, "Introductions has already been done, is it ?" Checking by the looks of their faces, I was right. They knew each other, but not close enough. It must be time to relink their memories. "Before continuing, I guess that you all remember each other quite distinctly. This is because you have visited each other before during the Silver Millenium time or the equal in this dimension, the Old Sky Millenium. These memories will be restored in a few minutes," I said. Luna and Artemis already had some memories about this dimension. I did a mindlink with them that was seen easily. Lines of power joined between me and the cats. Any difficult questions that were asked about the memory relink would be easier answered by the cats. After virtually 10 minutes, I spoke up, "Let's continue. I hope you have good memories about the time when the late Queen Serenity were hosts to the Skykin when they landed on the moon. The single wing of the Skykin that landed were incoporated into the Royal Guard. These Skykin were one of the most powerful wing of Skykin Warriors. When the Dark Kingdom attacked and obilerated the Silver Millenium, the late Queen Serenity transported the Skykin back to their original dimensions where now they are the ones you see as Guardians of the Sky Lords." The memories they had just accepted were vivid at first but soon faded in. But no one had the chance of embracing their old friends yet since the palace suddenly rocked. "Black Dead Knights ! Quick, attack positions," Lianne, a girl who had just entered. They reconized her as the Sky Princess. The scouts had already transformed. I knew the Dead Knights, they were extremely powerful. Very rare in existence, since they had long growing times. I had to give the sailor scouts their enhanced Sky Dimensional Powers. I shouted to them, "Scouts, remember your enhanced Sky powers which were assigned to you during the past." A sudden shriek from a Class 4 Dead Knight by a long green scythe told me that they had understood. Sailor Jupiter had used her Oak Scythe attack to destroy the Dead Knight but she did not have enough experience. Suddenly, a squadron of Dark Elves appeared. They started using magical spells against the senshi and Guardians. Seeing that the scouts and the Guardians were outnumbered by the double squadrons of the Dead Knights and Dark Elves, I summoned a forbidden magical technique, the summoning of the Fire Oracle Bird. My ancient magical team mate and war-riding bird appeared and burned down the Black Knights. The Dark Elves retreated. All was left was dust. "Wow, I have only seen you use that twice," Delphi exclaimed. The bird was seen by the scouts in awe. It was gigantic, filling half of the room. *Hah, wouldn't they be surprised. Not even the Guardians know that she can talk.* "Hello, I am the Fire Bird. The team mate to General Peterson, one of the only arch-mages who hold this arcane magical spell to summond my kind," she said. Everyone had the shock of their lives. A giant bird which talked ! "What, why didn't you talk last time ?" Telphis asked. "I just did not want to. Is that a problem ?" she answered. No one replied that question to the Fire Bird. Oracle shrinked and transformed into human form. "Something's wrong. Saturn cannot heal Darien. He got hit by that funny black crystal by the Dead Knights," Serena said. Relene walked toward him and tried healing him. It was an inter-dimensional wound. Only inflicted if the wounded is from another dimension and the inflicter was a time or dimensional gate expert. The healing was quite instant after Telphis concentrated his Portal-Gate powers too. After the healing procedure, the prince started waking up. "Good," I said. The scouts started detransforming but it was futile. "Oh, I forgot. In this dimension, you cannot detransform." I continued. "Would anyone mind telling me what happened to Darien ?" Uranus said. Telphis started talking, "It was an inter-dimensional wound. The would could only be inflicted if you were from another dimension and the attacker is of Portal-Gate abilities, able to shoot a Dimensional Fracture Crystal which Serena saw. Only a person of simillar abilities can heal the wounded." They nodded in understanding. "You all can rest now. It is a TIRING day," I said. Almost all of them fell asleep instantly. Oracle mindspoke, I mindspoke back to Oracles powerful mindvoice, ------------------------------------------------------ End of the second part. Wait for the next one.

I'm back. Here's General Peterson again ! This is the continuation for the first part of Time Change. Usual Disclaimers - This story is hundred percently mine ! Sailormoon is owned by its respective owners wiithout permission. Any other characters are mine!

I actually lied to Oracle. I couldn't sleep. I was just too worried. During their sleep, I had devised the battle plans. I would have to transfer my memories about Skykin powers to the scouts and Darien as their training and send them back to their dimension to attack the remains of the Negaverse there. Then, Amy called out, "Peter, when do we start our training ? I am afraid Mergreth will try attacking again." I answered, "Yes, this time your training will be quite unusual. I will transfer the memories about the Skykin powers you have just attained. This will enable you advanced flight, high energy weapons and powers. Your sailor teleportation will be enhanced. Can we start now ?" "Yes," Serena suddenly said. After hearing her approval, I carefully started the link and locked on to the specific information and transfered it. It took approximately ten seconds. I then remembered that the Skykin did not know anything about the Negaverse so I called out to them, "Skykin, as the Negaverse and the Dead Armies have joined forces. I will have to brief you about the Negaverse and also give you Crystal Tokyo dimensional powers. Please stand by for mindlink with me." After the Guardians have agreed, the mindlink occured. This time it took far longer, ten minutes. The Skykin nodded in approvement with these new information. It was also quite terrifiying since Ilmiri started crying. The Negaverse had killed many people. She was comforted by Hotaru, her Dimensional Twin in age and powers. Ilmiri's main powers were designed for mass destruction which were used against Mergreth's father a few years ago. Ilmiri was sent to the Royal Palace for Guardianship after her parents died during the mirror war to the Dark Kingdom, the Death War. She was taught and trained to be a Guardian since her birth. Her mother was a Guardian and her father was the Royal Lord General to the Royal Guards. She was fully trained but haven't the appropriate experience. After evaluating the situation, I said,"Sailor Scouts, I would like to return you to your dimension now and start battling the remainder of the Negaverse there. I have constructed a Inter-Dimensional Gate already which is cloaked. Beryl and Metallia will not know. This will give us the advantage of a surprise attack." A sudden vision came to me and I projected it for all to see. *VISION* The four Earth generals were gathering and were ready to teleport away from the Negaverse. A few nights ago, their memory block was released when Beryl and Metallia used up a lot of their energy in making a few thousand youma's. This would be an indestructible force. The Earth generals had decided to get out of the Negaverse and join the Sailor Scouts and the Guardians to get rid of the Negaverse and Mergreth. They had positively charged energy now and not negative powers. *END OF VISION* "Good, now as you seen us. Maybe you all will not doubt us," a voice boomed, noticed as Nephrite's. The four general's bowed to me and Prince Darien. I remembered that in the future where I lived, these generals had already turn good. "How do we know you are trustable ?" Raye asked doubtfully. "You have already seen Peter's vision. Do you not trust him ?" Jadeite said. I continued, "Yes, they have been released from Metallia's clutches. You can trust them." "Great, at least we have them on our side now," Mina said, remembering the past where she and one of the generals were VERY good friends. "I also hope that you four can at least tell us what Mergreth and Metallia intends to do," she continued. At that statement, they answered, "We are sorry that when the memory block removed our hipnosis, it also took away our memories as Negaverse Generals." That caused the others in the meeting chamber sit down and mourn. I spoke up, "I don't think you would need their information anyway. I forced a mindlink on one of the trusted people in Mergreth's sect. I gained valuable information because of that." Continuing I said, "I think this will surprise some people in this chamber but not all. Mergreth intends to use the De...Death Crystal to drain out the life force of this dimension." The shock I intended to give was as expected. Delphi almost fainted when he heard about the Death Crystal. Michiru asked, "What is the Death Crystal ?" I answered, "The Death Crystal is a very powerful Crystal that has unmatched powers except to mine, the Star Crystal which I sealed in a dimension of power. It works as the opposite to mine which gives and supplies power to the universe and its many dimensions or alternate realities. It virtually drains all power from any source but NOT only that, it also takes it very slowly and tortures you. Mergreth intends to control the power he takes and form his own universe." That brought the same reaction as the Guardians did. Serena actually fainted. She awakened when Raye, very angry, dropped water on her. I continued, "I am not sure about this information. Metallia might have forced Mergreth to change his plans using her right of alliance." "But....There is a way to stop that,"I said quite uncertain. "What's that ?" Reeny asked. I answered,"Using my own Star Crystal to deflect it when it is used but the Death Crystal must be used first or we will have to destroy it." "The Death Crystal would have to use a LOT of energy, right ?" Sailor Pluto asked. Delphi replied, "That is correct but it does not use normal ones. It needs nuclear energy which is only generated by nuclear plants so its not quite portable. Any one has an idea how Mergreth is going to get tons of nuclear energy ?" No one answered that question. It was quite unanswerable. "Never mind about that one. The only thing you need to worry about is how to defeat the Negaverse and Mergreth. I want the sailor scouts now to get ready for transportation back to your own dimension." They entered the Twin Gate that was constructed an hour ago. They appeared back in their dimension. ************ "At last, home ! Oh,no. How long did we stay there ?" Serena asked with a scared expression on her face, not wanting to get in trouble with her father. Darien answered, "Just two minutes." "What, you're joking, right ?" Lita asked and continued, "We were there for at least 15 hours." Amy answered that one after consulting her own watch, "No, different dimensions have different time scales. It is just two minutes in ours." At first, they tried to go home but they decided it would be better if they attacked the Negaverse base now. From the general's information, the base was situated at an isolated place. Sailor Moon concentrated on the coordinates given and teleported. Upon reching there, they were attacked. "What is this ?" they shouted after seeing the gigantic creature, half youma, half Death Knight. The sailor scouts realised that the bombs that the general promised were already in their dimensional pockets. Raye dropped one of the bombs on the ground. The monster in front of them disappeared in contact with the bombs magnetic fields. They continued walking till reaching somewhat a main gate. There, no one was in sight. "This must be a trap," Mina said and continued, "There is nobody guarding the place." Amy answered, "There is no evil readings on my computer. This may be a trap, but we still have to go on." They finally decided to continue. They reached a dead end when a giant front door was seen. Mina created her Titanic Sword, enlarged it by two times and slashed the main door open. Serena instantly continued walking and suddenly a few arrows shot out from no where and locked on her. Reeny shouted, "Run, mama." Luckily Serena's senses were good and jumped out of the way. Amy said, "Let's go to Beryl's throne room. My computer senses high energy readings there." ********* After transforming into their Skykin forms, the Skykin, the traitors from the Negaverse and General Peterson also teleported into enemy ground. Upon touching the ground, two Black Knights appeared and attacked them. Delphi summoned his Lighting Bolts and shot both of them down. Dust was only seen after the blasts. "Let's go on." he said after regaining his energy. They also reached a dead end. This time just a giant wall with no opening seen. I knew this kind of tricks, the wall was just holographic. I walked through the wall easily. A tingling sensation was felt when I passed the wall. The Guardians and the other Earth Generals followed me. What we saw was a big room with no lights. Relene activated a light from somewhere which we couldn't see. Suddenly, ten more Death Knights came out from another side of the room. Their first shot was excellent. The Death Knights firepower hit Ilmiri, Delphi and the Skykin princess. They retaliated with their own firepower which eliminated a few. I summoned a whirlwind from the astral plane that destroyed the rest to dust. At last, we reached the trone room. There, only Beryl was there with the soul form of Metallia. "You reached here at last. With your PUNY friends, General Peterson, even without the sailor scouts. You all are mincemeat," the evil queen said and aimed her hand at us. Black fire emerged from her hand and flew toward us. The Guardians managed to dodge it but not so good luck for the ex-generals of the Negaverse. They shot back their magic though. It was white in colour which was surprising even though released from Metallia's clutches. I summoned my Fire Bird, the Oracle. After it came, I jumped on its back and ordered it to fire at will. Its fire was real HOT. It burned Beryl till she screamed in pain. Then, I shouted, "I summon the power of the Eternal Gods, destroy the evil that is situated here." The thunder and lightning from the sky incinerated Queen Beryl to ashes. Its power was so strong till it shot through the top of the main throne room. Queen Metallia retaliated that shot by releasing Nega-power from her mouth. It seemed like fire but was ash black. I extended my shield to also protect the others from the deadly attack. The fire disappeared after hitting on my extreme powered shield. The Skykin fired their powers at Metallia. I suddenly realised that Mergreth was not here. I mindspoke to the rest, Each of them nodded at me. I ran out of the room and ran towards a place which I detected a high-powered source of evil. In that chamber, I met two legions of Black Knights. I had no chance against them so I dropped one of the bombs which I supplied to the sailor's. "Good, good ! I knew it you would be able to reach me. I will now get my revenge against you for killing my father," Mergreth shouted. Then, Mergreth took out the Death Crystal and shouted, "It's too late. The Death Crystal is operational." I thought, *I have to keep him talking.* I said, "So how did you get the nuclear energy for the Death Crystal ?" He answered arrogantly, "Easy, I made it by making my own nuclear plant here. You did not know, eh ?" At that statement, I shot out millions of gigawatts of positively energized energy from my hand which I generated when he was talking. Mergreth seeing the energy approaching, tried to withdraw his hand that held the Death Crystal but it was too late. The positively charged energy destroyed the crystal and also his whole arm. He screamed in pain. "No ! You destroyed my plans again. I will destroy you !" Mergreth shouted. He targeted the last points of his energy at me and fired. It was big, real BIG but I deflected it and it destroyed its master. ********* The sailor scouts reached the meeting chamber seeing one thousand youma inside it. Serena instantly dropped a bomb but it destroyed all but ten of them. These youma were double the size of the normal youmas. They shouted, "We are invunerable. You will die !" They fired out a projectile which was quite like a snake. It was dodged by the scouts. Mina summoned, "I call my powers of the Skykin, my sword of Titanic, destroy the evil." The sword appeared from her hands and grew to an enormous size and sliced down the youmas one by one. There were five left after the initial attack. Serena created her Angel Bow and her arrows eliminated the rest of the youma. The youmas shouted, "No !" and they disappeared out of sight. "Yes ! We won," they shouted and hugged each other. Their cheering was short lived, Queen Beryl suddenly reappeared, it seemed like she knew that attack was to come, "I knew you were going to destroy me and my youma that way." Even her life was short lived, a fireball appeared from no where and eliminated her, a voice said, "I also anticipated it, Queen Beryl." General Peterson appeared to open a Twin Gate. After that, they teleported back to the park. Then, they reentered the Twin Gate and appeared in the Skykin Meeting Chamber. *********** The Guardians and the Generals were not that lucky. Metallia was very difficult to beat but at last, she fell. When the Guardians were getting ready for the killing blow, she shouted, "Please, have mercy." The Guardians felt sorry. No one chose to turn evil. It was fate, the gods will. She had no choice. Unluckily, Queen Metallia was just bluffing. She jumped out of the Guardians way and fired evil energy. That particular shot killed the Skykin Princess, Lianne. "No!" the other Skykin shouted. Their hearts were filled with sadness and HATE towards Queen Metallia. They had regrets also, thinking that they failed to protect their princee. Before Lianne's total death, Lianne summoned her Royal Tiara to destroy Metallia. It did at it was told, the destruction of Metallia was accompanied with her screams. The Guardians ran towards the fallen princess and took her up. Relene tried to heal her but the wounds that Metallia gave her was fatal. Even the most powerful healers would be unable to heal her. Then, General Peterson appeared next to her. They knew that Mergreth had been destroyed since the general had returned. "General, the princess is de... dead. Can you do anything ?" Ilmiri asked sobbing. I thought about it and answered, "Yes, there is a way to relive her. I will have to travel to the underworld to save her. You all will have to wait." I opened a portal to the underworld and walked throught it. ********** During the journey to the underworld, I thought about Lianne. She was good natured, beautiful, tall, well-educated and powerful in terms with magic. Her rule had been strong and Skyron had grew from a small kingdom to a big empire. Five hundred years ago, there were only Skyron, the main capital. Then, she expanded the kingdom. The other nations had volunteered to enter her rule. Skyron was rich in information and minerals. Skyron was also feared by many. They were practitioners of magic and also science. Both mixed to become something illogical and logical. The empire was constructed with science and maintained by magic. It was always equal. None more and none less. The people loved her. She now had dozens of planets under her rule. These planets blossomed into powerful and rich planets. I stopped thinking once I reached the Underworld Gate. There, I told the GateKeeper that I wanted to retake a soul. The people at the Underworld knew me by title and power. I had come here before and destroyed many devils trying to hurt others. They permitted the exchange. I had to give them a few thousand points of energy for her. She was just a sould here. In the middle of the Proccessing Stage, to find out if she was to go to heaven or hell. I took her soul with me and passed through the Portal which I conjured up. I found myself at the Skykin Meeting Chamber. Lianne's soul had already reentered her body. She awakened to be embraced by her husband, Telphis. The sailor scouts were already there. I said, "We have defeated the evil in both dimensions. It is best I and the sailor scouts return home." But this was not to be heard. The princess of Skykin arranged a party in honour for our victory. ************ "What shall I wear ?" Serena asked. The others facefaulted. Why did she have to choose clothes ? Just change into her princess form. "Just turn into a princess," I said, reading the others mind. "Good suggestion," she said. She changed into her princess form as the others did. They were escorted to the gigantic hall. ************* The party was big. Many people came including other nations royalty. They had come to thank us for destroying the evil that had haunted this dimension. The sailor's found their mates for the party. It was a happy day. After the party was over, the sailor scouts returned to their own dimension. ************** Serena returned home. There, she found that the other scouts were there too with their parents. "Hello, at last you are home. What did you do for these few minutes ?" Serena's father asked. "Hah, what are you talking about ?" Serena asked. "Never mind. We know you are sailor scouts. We saw you running out of the house transformed. We also saw you transform," Serena's parent's continued. She looked at the others, they had the same reaction. The scouts started explaining what happened, "It started when a guy came to see us .............." I entered Serena's house to see everyone talking. "There he is," Raye said, pointing towards me. Looking at the faces of the scouts parents, I could have guessed that it would happen someday. I had to explain my mission. ************** After saying the goodbyes, I took hold of Reeny and clutched the Time Key. I did what the future Setsuna asked me to do. I reappeared in the future. Unchanged. "Your mission was a success. Thank you," Queen Serenity said. "It was my pleasure," I replied, quite sure they knew what I meant. Another party was arranged for the success of my mission. The party ended nicely. ----------------------------------------------------------------- At last, the end to the Time Change series. This is my first fic. The next one will be better.
