Title: The Past and Present as One Authors: Viper Inferno (viperdvman@hotmail.com) Jupiter Star Warrior (jupiter_star_warrior@sailormoon.com) Rating: G JSW: Hey all you Moon fans! Welcome to the world of Y2V, and, of course, my nameless fanfic world. We left you hanging in our last part of this story. Poor Robert, being chased by a T-Rex! Anyway, I'll let Viper talk to you! Y2V: Well, we ain't gonna leave y'all hangin' much longer. We appreciate the responses all y'all sent us. I ain't gonna tell y'all what happened in the last story, if there are those of y'all who haven't read Part I. For those of y'all who have read it, as requested, here's Part II of our fanfic. Enough of my Okie babblin', here's Jupiter Star Warrior. JSW: We hate to do this, but here's our... ...Disclaimer: JSW: WE DON'T OWN SAILOR MOON! Viper will tell you who does, but it's not us! If we DID own Sailor Moon, you'd see this fic on TELEVISION, plus we'd be a lot richer than we are now! But, what I'm claiming as my own is this: Robert Midorino, Jupiter Star Warrior, and ALL OF HIS IDENTITIES!! Y2V: JSW's got a point, Sailor Moon and most of the characters ain't mine either. They belong to Naoko Takeuchi, and I thank that woman for creating such great entertainment. The English dub belongs to DiC Entertainment, and I thank them for bringing' it to America. Good news, I hear that the S season's finally coming. Anyways, Russell Hino, Hino Kyodai, Tuxedo Inferno, and all his other identities are MINE (in a deep, dark, growling voice). This villain we're introducing is OURS. Both: So, please don't sue us. Well, y'all enjoy this fanfic and email us, a'ight. (JSW: I didn't actually say 'a'ight'. I said "alright". Big diff.) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The Past And Present As One By Viper Inferno and Jupiter Star Warrior Part II - The Revelation Russell drives back to the temple. He walks into the kitchen and places the groceries on the counter. He reaches in the bag and takes out the spices. 'It's a good thing I didn't start on supper. But now Grandpa will ask what's taking so long,' Russell thinks as he starts on supper again. Sure enough, Grandpa comes into the kitchen, demanding what's taking supper so long. But once Russell tells him why, he ignores Grandpa's constant rambling and thinks on the subject greater than a late supper. 'I'd like to say someone's messing with the public, but that would kill my previous hypothesis on Robin Hood being the real thing. What's going on?' "Russell, aren't you listening to me?" a voice not Grandpa's exclaims, popping Russell out of his trance. "Huh? Raye? Oh, sorry, I was thinking," Russell explains. "I did a fire reading while you were at the supermarket. I think that somehow the timeline's mixing by a temporal disturbance, or something. I'm going to Amy's to see what it's supposed to mean," Raye says, grabbing her coat. "Um, okay. Good luck, sis!" "Thanks! I'll be back!" Russell continues on supper, chopping up green onions and green peppers. He adds the ingredients to the boiling broth. Half an hour later, Russell hears a door close as he works on dinner. He turns to see Raye, back already. To his surprise, she's dressed completely different and looks six years older. "Raye, you look different. I thought you weren't supposed to wear that until you get your priestess license, or something," Russell says, looking over Raye. "Huh? Who are you? Do I know you?" Raye asks. "You should. I'm your brother. Have you gone totally wacko or something?" "No, and I don't think you should be here. And did you say 'brother?!' Since when did I have a brother?" 'This is the older Raye. I think Robert said that this Raye didn't have a brother,' Russell thinks as he quickly finds a way out of this mess. "I'm here to, um, cook for, um, your family," Russell stammers, quickly getting back to work. "Yeah, okay. I'm going to my room. Bye!" Raye says, now a little lovesick. She heads to her room only to find it a little different. She ignores it and lays on her bed. 'He's a weird guy, but kind of cute! I wonder where he's from?' Raye thinks, pulling out a comic. 'Haven't read one of these in a long time. I'm surprised Serena didn't ruin them.' She gets up and heads for the Worship Room (JSW: I don't know what it's called. It's the one with the fire) to do a fire reading. She prays to the fire, seeking guidance. While she does her fire reading, Russell looks in the phone book for Amy's number, knowing Raye would be there. He dials the number. "Hello?" Amy's mother responds. "Hi, is Raye there yet?" Russell asks politely, "I need to speak to her." "Yes sir, she just got here a minute ago," Amy's mother replies, "I'll go get her." Minutes later, Raye answers the phone, "Hello?" "Raye, it's Russell," Russell replies. "Why are you calling me here?" Raye suspiciously asks. "I have the numbers of most of your friends, except Serena's," Russell answers, "But anyway, you remember the adult Lita at the park this morning?" "Yeah, what about the adult Lita?" she asks. "I talked to her husband, and he said that he saw you at the park, and had an argument with an older version of you," Russell answers. "What does that have to do with you calling me here," Raye asks, scolding Russell. "Well, the older Raye is HERE, in the worship room. I doubt Grandpa has seen her yet," Russell explains. "I'll be there after I talk to Amy, and let you know of our findings," Raye answers. "I'll try to keep Grandpa away from her, he'd freak if he saw you age rapidly," says Russell. "You do that, I'll talk to you later," Raye says as she hangs the phone up. 50 minutes later... The younger Raye arrives back at the temple and immediately looks for Russell. She knocks on his door, thinking he'd be in his room. "Come in," he replies through the door. Raye opens the door and walks in to find him watching another soccer game, this time it's U.S.A. vs. Scotland. (Y2V: USA, USA, USA!) (JSW: Gotta go for the Red, White, and Blue this time, folks!) "Hi Russell, where my older self?" she asks. "Still in the worship room," he answers. "Has Chad seen her yet?" she asks. "Nope, I kept him in his room too, watching this soccer game," Russell replies, "Grandpa hasn't seen her either. I did however convince them to go out on some spiritual quest for a night. So they won't be home 'til tomorrow afternoon." "Good thinking, Russell. All that supreme intellect can come in favor. That'll give us some time to find out what's going on," says Raye. "You can tell me what you found out from Amy after the older Raye gets done in the worship room," Russell states. Minutes later, the older Raye walks out of the worship room to find the supposed cook and a younger Raye staring her with rather skeptical looks on their faces. "We need to talk," Russell says. "A younger me," says the older Raye in surprise, "You must've been the one Robert and Lita saw at the park." "Exactly, we have ideas about what's going on," says the younger Raye as she and Russell walk over to the living room, with the older Raye following. They each take their seats on the couch and discuss the situation. The younger Raye starts the conversation, "In my last fire reading, I picked up some type of timeline mixing by a temporal disturbance." "That's exactly what I picked up," the mature Raye interrupts. "Anyway, I talked to Amy about it, she says something is causing the timelines to mix up, therefore creating you, an adult Lita, Robin Hood and his merry men, the Sheriff of Nottingham's men, the medieval wagons, the flag of the rising sun..." "Romans, dinosaurs, you guys," mature Raye adds, "Besides, you two look somewhat alike." She makes reference to Russell, "Who are you, really?" "To tell you the truth, I am your older brother, or at least this Raye's older brother," Russell answers. "Like I said, I never had a brother," says mature Raye, "I wonder how mixing timelines created you." "Neither I nor Robert know, but let's just get some sleep," Russell says as he heads towards his room, "I sent Grandpa and Chad out for a while, they won't be back until tomorrow afternoon. I anticipated them freaking out when they saw you." "You look and sound about as smart as Amy," mature Raye exclaims. "Thanks. Good night Raye," Russell says as he walks into his room. "Good night," both Rayes say in unison. The younger Raye then turns to her mature self, "You can sleep in my room with me since you probably know it very well. There are a couple other people who live and work at this temple, but they're gone for the week." "Odd, all we had 6 years ago were Grandpa, Chad, and myself," says mature Raye. "We'd better get some sleep if we're to help Russell and this Robert character he met crack this mystery," young Raye suggests. The not exactly duplicates walk over to Raye's room and check in for the night. That night... A woman dressed in a blue skin-tight dress with a tight skirt just above the knee. She holds a short staff in one hand and an odd looking key in her other hand. She stands on the roof of a skyscraper, watching the action occurring at the park. She then stares at the sky and watches WWII-era Japanese fighters fly overhead. She then turns to a nearby forest to see a whole legion of Roman soldiers camping. She walks over to the wall and looks down at the street to see a group of knights on horseback in full battle armor and bearing shields in one hand and lances in the other. "Yes," she says to herself, "With the timelines mixing, I will bring the past into the present. This is when the past and the present become one. History is reborn." With that said, she laughs maniacally with her own scheme. Young Lita's Apartment... Robert awakens in pain. "Oww, Lita, do you have to be so violent?" he asks, still half tired. He rubs the sleep out of his eyes to find that he is on the floor. "Dang," he thinks aloud, "I must've fallen onto the floor." He struggles to his feet to see Lita in the kitchen cooking breakfast. Confused at which one she is, he takes a closer look at her. "You gotta problem, pervert?" she harshly asks. "Nah, just wonderin' if you were my Lita or the younger Lita," Robert casually answers. "Duh, I'm the younger one," she sarcastically answers, "Can't you tell the difference?" "I kinda figured that out when you're a couple inches shorter than my Lita," Robert answers, "No wonder those clothes look a little too big for you." In response, and anger, the younger Lita gives him something to think about as her right fist comes in contact with Robert's face, sending him flying to his couch. "Your Lita didn't have a problem with me borrowing some of her clothes," she says. "Ouch! Good thing I'm used to this much violence. Where's my Lita at?" Robert asks. "She went out for a walk at the park," she answers, "She saw you sleeping on the couch and didn't want to wake you up. She should be home in a few minutes." 'Man, I hope those Romans don't attack her,' Robert thinks to himself, 'But she can take care of herself.' "You mind if I help you with breakfast?" Robert asks. "No way I'm letting you help me cook," the younger Lita immediately answers. "Sorry, but my Lita..." says Robert. "I don't care what your Lita lets you help her with," Lita argues back, cutting Robert off, "I am NOT your Lita." "I'd better be goin' now," Robert timidly says, making his way to the door. "Hold it right there," young Lita barks, stopping Robert dead in his tracks, "You're not going anywhere, mister. Not until your Lita gets home." "Jeez," Robert says in response, plopping down on the couch, "Not even my Lita is that bossy." The younger Lita continues working on breakfast while Robert sits on the couch, being held prisoner at the clutches of Lita's younger, evil self. Finally, Robert's Lita walks through the front door, with her face as pale as an unused artist's canvas and breathing very heavily. She places her hand over her chest as she tries to catch her breath. "Lita, what happened," Robert says, running up to her and wrapping one arm around her while holding her free hand in his. He walks her to the couch and helps her to lie down and regain some of her lost energy. "Calm down, Lita," Robert says, then looks to the younger Lita, who watches in shock. 'I would never be this afraid of whatever on earth spooked her,' the younger Lita thinks to herself. "What are you waiting for, get her a damp washcloth," Robert orders. The energetic young Lita immediately bolts into the kitchen. She opens a drawer, remembering where she kept her washcloths in her timeline, grabs one, and wets it down. She then rushes over to Robert and hands it to him. He takes it from her, "Thank you," and proceeds to place it on Lita's forehead. "Easy Lita," Robert says, holding Lita's hand while caressing it with his other hand. It takes a good 5 minutes for the mature Lita to finally calm down enough to talk. "What happened out there, Lita," Robert asks. "You... weren't... lying," she answers, still breathing heavily. "About what?" Robert asks, a little nervous now. "There's... a... T-Rex... loose," she explains. "Still!?!?" Robert tries to say, but is cut off by Lita grabbing his shirt with a firm grip and pulling herself up. "Not just... one, but... TWO!!" Lita states aggressively, with beads of sweat forming on her forehead after dropping the wash cloth. Her face turns beat red with much stress. The stress overloads her, as her eyes glaze over and loses consciousness. Robert catches her before her limp body hits the ground and lies her back onto the couch. He then turns to the younger Lita. "Lita," Robert says. The younger Lita looks at him, "Yes I'm talking to you. Take care of her, will 'ya. I gotta find my communicator." "Communicator!? You know about Sailor Jupiter?" Lita says, completely aghast. "Oh, I never told you," says Robert, forgetting to tell her about himself, "It's not hers, but mine. I am Jupiter Star Warrior." "Who?" young Lita asks. "Long story, but I often fight alongside the Sailor Scouts," Robert quickly explains. "So, why do you need the communicator?" young Lita asks. "I'm holding an emergency scout meeting here. We're gonna get to the bottom of this," Robert says as he walks to his room. After searching the dirty clothes in the coat he had worn yesterday, he finds his communicator. He keys it in, "Girls, I'm calling an emergency meeting at my and Lita's place. It's about these strange events. AVOID THE PARK AND DOWNTOWN AT ALL COSTS! IT'S FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY." Suddenly, the telephone rings. Robert picks the one up in his and Lita's room, "Hello?" "Robert," an unfamiliar voice says, "It's Russell. You know, we met last night at the store, Raye's brother." "Yes, I remember who you are. How'd you get our number?" Robert asks. "It's the same as Lita's, the younger one you described," Russell answers "So, what's the scoop?" Robert asks. "You said you had two Lita's there, right?" says Russell, "Well, I've got two Raye's here. The older one's going over to your place for a scout meeting." "Go with her, and take the younger Raye with you," says Robert. "We'll be there," Russell says as he hangs up the phone. Robert walks out of the bedroom and back to the living room, where the younger Lita tends to the unconscious mature Lita. "Lita," he calls, getting the younger Lita's attention, "Do you have your communicator with you?" "Of course I do," the young Lita answers. "Then call the rest of the younger scouts," Robert orders, "it's time that we meet each other and figure this out together." "Now you're the one who's a little bossy," Lita exclaims. "I learned from the best," Robert says, making reference to his Lita. The young Lita grabs her communicator and keys it in, "Girls, emergency scout meeting at my house. We have some business to discuss about yesterday's and today's events..." "Tell them to avoid the park and downtown at all costs," Robert whispers to young Lita. "...And avoid the park and downtown at all costs." She turns her communicator off and awaits the arrival of both groups of scouts. Temple... Russell and both Rayes walk out of the temple and walk in the direction of Lita's apartment. "That's right," says mature Raye, realizing that the park lies between the temple and Lita's, "We must avoid the park." They decide to take the long route around the park. Later, young Raye's communicator goes off. "Raye, your pager's going off," says Russell, making reference to the beeping. "You two go ahead," young Raye says as she backs off from the duo. She them pulls her communicator to see Lita's (the younger one) face. "Girls, emergency scout meeting at my house. We have some business to discuss about yesterday and today's events... And avoid the park and downtown at all costs." Raye puts her communicator up and walks over to Russell, "Sorry, Russell. It's another one of my meetings. You'll have to hang back until it's over." "The older Lita's husband is the one holding it," Russell argues, "He told me to come along." "I agree, you should let him come along," says mature Raye. Young Raye grabs her older self by the arm and drags her away from Russell. "He doesn't know I'm, or rather we, are Sailor Mars," she whispers into her ear. "Oh," says mature Raye, then turns to Russell. "I'm sorry, we can't allow you to come with us," she says. "Alright, you win. I'll go see if I can investigate this matter myself," Russell says as he turns back and walks back to the temple. Russell walks back into the empty temple and straight towards his room. He opens his wardrobe to search for his tan trench coat that he once wore to a college costume party. "Perfect," he says with a modern British accent, "Now where's the hat I wore as Sherlock Holmes," he says to himself, searching his room. He manages to find a magnifying glass, "Ah, my glass. Perfect for examining clues. Now where's my hat." He continues searching for his hat, but then trips over a flashlight lying on the floor. "I could grab a torch, but 'tis daylight," he says to himself, still carrying on with the British accent. He turns back in front of him and finally finds his hat. "Ah! There's my hat. Now to grab my cane and my pipe and be on my way," he says to himself, picking up his hat and cane, "And now, off to the park. Cheerio." Park... Russell, dressed in his Sherlock Holmes attire, makes it to the edge of the park, where things seem to be quiet except for occasional police cruisers and fire trucks assessing the damage. Since some of those areas are blocked off, he can't investigate the damage; the cops don't care if he's the great Sherlock Holmes. He shuts his engine off and leaves his car. "Hey Sherlock," a man near one of the damaged areas calls out, "You're a long way from England my friend." Russell ignores the man and continues on to the park. He immediately notices a sword lying in the middle of the field, along with a couple spears and a shield strewn about. He kneels down in front of the sword and examines it with his magnifying glass. "Hmm, rather ancient in origin, but still in mint condition," says Russell as he picks the sword up. "Lightweight, short blade, I'd say this is a Roman gladius," Russell deduces, then walks over to the shield, "This shield is also Roman. I'd say we have Romans here in addition to the medieval men and the World War II flag." Suddenly, continuous hoof beats make their way towards Russell's position. He looks in the direction of their origin to find some armored men on horseback galloping towards him. "Looks like the Sheriff's men are still here," he to himself, still playing charades with his British accent. The Sheriff's men halt a few feet from Russell. "Can I help you, gentlemen?" Russell asks. The Sheriff pulls out a sign depicting Robin Hood being wanted for pilferage. "Have you seen a man by the name of Robin Hood," he asks with a heavy Middle English accent. 'Man, I can't do this to poor Locksley,' Russell thinks to himself as he takes the sign from the Sheriff to examine it, 'I don't want to ruin the legend. I know, I'll lie.' Russell looks back up at the Sheriff and lays on his accent, "We was across the lake when I saw him at sunrise." "You talk like us, but you don't look like us," the Sheriff says, pointing to Russell's Sherlock clothing. "Of course not, my good Sheriff. I, like you, am also involved in law enforcement. I am a detective, one experienced in investigating crimes," says Russell. He hands the sign back to the Sheriff and goes on his way. He listens as the horses begin galloping in the direction that Russell had pointed out. 'Fools,' he thinks to himself. He continues walking about the park and notices yet another clue lying near some indentures in the ground. He kneels down near it and examines it. "Hmm, blood," he conclude rather quickly, again using his British accent, "but from human, for animal. All those Biology classes I took and all those books I read could help me here, though I'm no Forensics expert." He pulls out a cotton ball and dampens it with the blood. He then pulls a vial out and places the bloody cotton ball inside, seals it, and replaces it. Then, a rather peculiar sight grabs Russell's attention. He walks over to the large indenture and examines it. "A rather large indenture, forming a nearly symmetrical pattern." Further down, he finds more of these indentures following a straight line. "Numerous imprints, equidistant from one another, and following the same vector. I'd say these are the tracks of a somewhat massive animal," Russell deduces with sheer accuracy. "Now I've seen pictures of these. I believe they belong to the extinct species, Tyrannosaurus Rex." As Russell takes a closer look at the water filled track, he hears distant, low-pitched muffled booms. And at the same time, the water in the T-Rex track ripples. Russell looks at it with his magnifying glass, "Hmm, ripples in the water accompanied by distant thundering sounds, as if either explosives were going off or massive objects were hitting the ground." The thundering sounds grow more intense and less distant. When the sounds and water ripples stop, he looks back to see a real live T-Rex standing a hundred feet from him sniffing the air. It lets out a loud, screaming roar that resonates throughout the park. "Okay Russell, T-Rex can't see you if you don't move," Russell squeaks to himself, letting off of his fake British accent. When the T-Rex turns his back to Russell, he quietly sneaks toward his car, making sure not to get the T-Rex's attention. Just as he crosses a tree, he steps on a twig, causing it to snap. The T-Rex cranes its head in that direction. "AAAGGGHHH!!" Russell screams as he bolts for his car like a true track sprinter. He gets some distance from the T-Rex before it gives chase. Russell makes it to his car and jumps in. He quickly starts the engine and puts it in reverse. He then slams on the accelerator just as the T-Rex is about to take a bite out of his old coupe. Russell speeds off backward away from the T-Rex. It again gives chase, gaining on Russell. Russell continues accelerating backwards, beginning to gain some distance between him and the T-Rex. When he gets far enough, he slams the brakes and swings the car around. He puts the car in first gear and floors it, with the T-Rex gaining on him again. After shifting a few times, Russell finally gains enough speed to quickly pull away from the T-Rex. It soon gets bored with chasing Russell and turns around. "Safe, finally," Russell says to himself, "the mixing of the timelines must've brought dinosaurs here as well. I must get to that meeting, I don't care what both Rayes say." With that, Russell slows down back to the speed limit and makes his way toward Lita's. Young Lita's Apartment... After thirty minutes of waiting, Robert's scouts arrive. Without knowing, they greet Robert and Lita "as if nothing ever happened". Suddenly, Serena screams as she notices the "extra" Lita. "Robert, is that Lita?" Serena asks when she finally calms down. "Yes, that is Lita. You know, my wife?" Robert answers. "Well, if that's Lita, then who is she?" Raye asks. "That is also Lita; the younger version of Lita, that is," Robert states, going near his Lita, "how is she doing?" "She's unconscious. Why? What happened?" Amy asks. "Well, let's just say that she was chased by a T-Rex. That's why I told you NOT to go through downtown nor the park," Robert answers as the doorbell rings. "I'll get it," young Lita says, heading for the door. "Okay, now, if it's who I think it is, don't be surprised. This is going to be difficult to explain, but PLEASE keep calm, okay?" Robert begs to his scouts as the younger group enters the room. "OMIGOSH! YOU LOOK LIKE ME!!!" the younger Serena states, taking a good look at her older self. "HEY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY BODY!?" the older Mina asks, looking at her past self. "I'm going to study," both Amys say, going to a corner and sit down. They didn't notice anything wrong with the current scene, or chose to ignore it, one of the two. "HEY! WHAT'S GOING ON!? HOW COME SHE LOOKS LIKE ME, ONLY YOUNGER?" the older Serena comments, scratching her head. "THE HECK'S GOING ON!?" the younger Mina says. "Okay, guys, sit down, calm down, and for Heaven's sake, keep it down. Lita, my Lita, has had a terrible day. Me? I had a terrible 'last night.' I know what she's going through, now hush up!" Robert says as the room gets a little quieter. "First thing's first," the older Serena says, "Raye? Now that there are two of me, I can now double-team against you!" "Yeah, right!" the younger Raye states, "I can't believe she's still a Meatball Head even after six years!" "Raye, why do you have to be so mean!?" both Serenas wail, shooting streams of tears from their eyes. "Because you have to be such a Meatball Head," the older Raye comments, giving her younger self a high-five. 'Oh man,' Robert thinks to himself as more bickering and unneeded talk goes around, 'I called this meeting so we can get this done and over with.' "Hey Mina," the younger Mina says. "What?" the older Mina answers. "You look good today!" the younger Mina complements. "Why thank you! You don't look bad yourself!" the older Mina returns, giving the younger Mina tips to do her hair. "Hey Amy?" the younger Amy says. "Hmm?" the older Amy answers, not looking up from her Medic book. "The speed times the weight contradicts to the pull of force emitted on an object, right?" [JSW: I'm making this up! I really don't know, and I can't prove it!] "Yes it does," mature Amy replies, "What are you doing there, Physics?" "Yes, how did you know?" young Amy asks. "I was almost stuck on that problem as well, until I looked it up," mature Amy explains. "Oh!" young Amy replies. "OKAY! CAN WE SHUT UP NOW!" Robert yells, coming to attention. "Sheesh!" the younger Lita states, "stressed out aren't we?" "Yeah, I'd say! Now obviously, someone is messing with the timelines. Now, here's the thing; I have not sensed anything from the Negaverse..." "YOU'RE FROM THE NEGAVERSE!?" the younger scouts ask as Robert rolls his eyes. "Yes. It's a VERY long story, so I'm skipping it. Anyway, like I said, I couldn't figure out what the heck's going on around here. But the way I hear it, Raye, the younger Raye I mean, did a fire reading last night. Could you please tell us what you and Amy came up with?" Robert says, FINALLY getting the meeting going. Suddenly, there is a knock at the door. Robert gets up and answers it promptly. Behind the door, Russell, who is pale-white, is waiting. He rushes in as he slams the door shut. "You're late," Robert says, escorting the worn-out pyromaniac to his living room, "How come you're dressed like Sherlock Holmes?" "I did some investigating at the park, looking at clues and everything," Russell explains, "There are ancient Roman weapons and armor strewn throughout much of the park, dinosaur tracks, and even some blood." He pulls the vial with the bloodstained cotton ball inside, "I don't know what kind it is," says Russell. "I'll take a look at it," the older Amy says as she gets up and takes the vial, "I'm going into the medical field, I can do a blood analysis." "Like I said Russell, you're late," says Robert. "Yeah, sorry! I had an encounter with a T-Rex," Russell responds, plopping on the floor next to the couch, "Good thing my old coupe got me out of there." "Oh, okay. Well let me tell you something: I encountered dinosaurs as well, and I actually came butt-to-face with one! Lita over there encountered TWO T-REXES!" Robert snaps. "Okay, when exactly did you encounter dinosaurs? You weren't out of your house at all today, were you?" Russell asks. He's now thinking, 'Sheesh, this guy's developed an attitude over-night.' "Last night after meeting you," Robert answers. "Okay, why, may I ask, did I not encounter any dinosaurs last night?" Russell asks, still trying to pull some of his Sherlock techniques, minus the accent. "Because maybe he was too busy chasing ME," Robert says. "Russell, I thought I told you not to come with us," young Raye scolds. "Raye," Robert says, getting her attention, "He needs to be here. I don't care why you tell him not to be here." "Yeah, Raye," Russell gloats, sticking his tongue out at her. "Now, can we PLEASE continue?" Robert nearly yells, "Raye, but could you please tell us what you and Amy concluded?" "Sure," both Rayes say. "I'm talking to the younger Raye," Robert corrects. "Sorry," the older Raye says. "Okay, from the fire, I concluded that there was a temporal disturbance in the space-time continuum. Of course, I didn't know what that meant, so I talked to Amy about it," Raye said, giving the group of what was going on. "Well, I explained what it meant. It means that someone is..." the younger Amy starts "Messing with the time-lines," the older Amy finishes. "Okay, so who is this person? Is it Sailor Pluto?" Robert asks. "WHO?" Russell and his scouts say at the same time. "Oh, I forgot, you don't meet her until a year from now," Robert apologizes. "I doubt that is possible. Why would she want to do something like that?" the older Amy says, trying to be reasonable. "Clueless. My question is: Who else could it be?" Raye thinks. "Uhhmm..." the older Lita groans, getting up from her recent trauma. "Sweetie, are you okay?" Robert says, going to her side. "Uh, I guess so. Who are these people? Why so many?" Lita asks, touching her forehead as if to get rid of her resonating headache. "We are currently hosting a scout meeting," Robert says. "Okay, so what are we going to do?" the younger Lita asks. "I'd say we find whoever is responsible for all of this and TRASH HER!" both Rayes state. "Or him," both Robert and Russell chirps in. "I'd say we get to know each other before... I mean, there's a lot of stuff I want to say to my past self!" Mina suggests. "Personally Mina, I want to go back to normal. I mean, no offense, but I don't like the idea of having two Sailor Scouts," Robert says, trying to get the meeting adjourned so he can spend some time with his wife. "Whoa, whoa, wait a minute! Sailor Scouts!?" says Russell, with his mouth hanging open in surprise, "You guys are the legendary Sailor Scouts?" "It was time you knew of our secret, both from our past and future selves," says Robert, "I am Jupiter Star Warrior. I fight alongside the Sailor Scouts and have been since I married Lita." Russell turns to the younger scouts, "You mean I've been helping you guys the ever since I first met you fighting Thrul and his youma uptown." "You mean YOU'RE Tuxedo Inferno," the younger scouts all say in unison. "I know it's surprising, but I felt some kind of power in this man here," Robert explains, "I didn't think he was the one altering the timelines since his power is not of Negaverse origin." "So unlike you, he's not a Nega-Creep," says young Lita. "Certainly not," Robert reassures, "Now I know he and I are both similar. Of what element are your powers, Russell?" "Fire, just like Sailor Mars'," says Russell. "Fire??? Oh, man! Not another one!" Robert groans. "Okay, COULD SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT THE HECK'S GOING ON!?!?" the older Lita snaps. "Okay, here's the recap: The timeline's shifting because of a temporal disturbance in the space-time continuum. Someone is manipulating the timelines for reasons unknown to the scouts and me. The only place I can think of where this is happening is from is Russell and his gang, but we don't know who. Am I right on this?" Robert says, getting everything recapped. "And we don't know where this enemy is at, who he or she is, or what to do about it," Russell finishes, "But really confuses me is the fact that neither I nor Tuxedo Inferno exist in your timeline. How could that be?" "I don't even know how mixing timelines destroys one person or creates another," Robert answers. "Amy," the older Serena says, "could you use your computer deally and find out who could be mixing the timelines?" "I don't know. I'll do that tonight. If I come up with something, I'll let you know about it, okay?" the older Amy answers. "Okay, hopefully, we'll get this stupid thing resolved. I'm gonna go find Sailor Pluto and see what I can get from her. Russell, you're coming with me. That Sherlock costume and your deduction abilities might come in handy. Besides, I'd love to work with another tuxedo-wearing superhero. Scouts, meeting adjourned!" Robert says. "HEY! Who made you leader?" both Serenas yell at Robert as Anime sweat-drops form on his head. "Uh, I'm the one who called the meeting in the first place. I guess that would allow me to break up the meeting, right?" Robert answers. "Oooooh! Why do you have to be so mean!?" the Serenas wail. "Oh, man! Why do you have to be such a cry-baby?" Robert responds, then turns to Russell, "You said you had a car?" "Sure do, early eighties Datsun coupe, 4-cylinder engine with a 5-speed transmission," Russell answers with details, "Had it ever since I turned 16. It's old, but it purrs like a kitten." "Um, I don't need any details. Anyway, you're how old?" Robert asks. "18, same as Darien, well the one in my timeline," says Russell. "My car's in the shop. You drive, I'll direct you to where we might find Sailor Pluto," says Robert as he and Russell walk out after everyone except both Litas leave the apartment. Downtown Tokyo... 'Well, I mixed up a few time-lines, but that won't stop me from accomplishing my goals,' the woman in blue says, gazing down at Tokyo from her roof. She walks to another part of the roof to oversee some mishaps the citizens are having with the T-Rex. "Hahaha! Those fools have not figured out how to stop a simple creature! This is hilarious!" she says as the dinosaur has some desert. (JSW: I know it's mean, but at least I don't fill any details.) "No one will be able to stop me! Hahaha!" Tokyo Streets... "Dang! Your car is kind of old. When are you getting a new one?" Robert says, gazing at Russell's old coupe. "Don't know, probably as soon as I save enough money. I'm thinking of getting an American sports car," Russell answers, unlocking the passenger door for Robert. He then goes to his side and jumps in. "American? Get a Mustang, those are the best. I have a Mustang convertible, but as I said, it's in the shop. Something's wrong with the transmission," Robert comments. "Cool. Well, where to?" Russell asks. "Turn left at the light," Robert says as Russell turns left. Right there, one of the two T-Rexes is looking for a bite to eat. It sees Russell's old coupe and starts to chase after it. "Ah, crap! Maybe I should have said 'Right at the light.' BACK UP! BACK UP! BACK UP!" "I'M BACKING! I'M BACKING!" Russell says, shifting the car to 'Reverse'. He speeds in reverse as the T-Rex gains on them. He slams on the brakes and shifts to first. He guns it and speeds up to second. "Must go faster, must go faster!" Robert chants as Russell shifts to third. By then, the T-Rex looses interest in the car. "Whew! That was WAY too close!" Russell says as they approach a field, "That's the second time today a T-Rex chased me, and that's the second time this old coupe saved me." "Okay, this might not be a place to meet Sailor Pluto, but it'll work. She just pops around every now and again. I hope she knows that we need to see her," Robert says, getting out of the stopped car. The wind stops as the blades of grass freeze in place. A few yards from where Russell and Robert are standing, Sailor Pluto with her Time-Key in hand, stands by. Her long hair is flowing, even though there is no wind. "Hey, that's impossible! There is no wind, yet her hair is still flowing as if there were wind!" Russell gawks. "Yeah, well, it's weird. I know. I've seen it done before. Long story," Robert responds. "You're here to ask about the dinosaurs," says Sailor Pluto, knowing exactly what's going on. "And the Romans...," says Robert. "And Robin Hood, and the WWII flag...," Russell also adds. "I've seen just about everything you've mentioned," says Sailor Pluto, "And then some more." "There's two of each of the scouts here, except there's only one Russell and one me," Robert explains. "That is unusual, indeed," says Sailor Pluto, "I completely understand why dinosaurs and Robin Hood are here. But what's odd is how you can exist in this timeline, but not exist in another." "I was wondering why the older Raye said that she didn't have a brother, when clearly I'm the younger Raye's older brother," says Russell. "What's happening, Sailor Pluto?" Robert asks as he and Russell shut up and listen. "What's happening, is that a disturbance is occurring in the Time Gate," Sailor Pluto explains, "Multiple time warps are occurring all over Tokyo and I can't even stop them." "Four score and seven years ago, our four fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation..." a man says in the distance, grabbing the trio's attention. "Ah, crap!" Robert says as he and Russell look under a tree to see, standing at a podium, a historical figure, quite familiar to Robert, giving a speech to a group of people, both historical and modern. "Abraham Lincoln, giving the Gettysburg Address. He's in the wrong country!" he says. "Abraham Lincoln?" Russell asks. "Simple American History," Robert explains, "Abraham Lincoln was the 16th President of the United States of America. He was known for abolishing slavery in that country during the American Civil War." "Looks like the time warp just brought him here," Russell deduces. "Russell, am I right?" Sailor Pluto asks, just to make sure. "Yes, that's my name, don't wear it out!" Russell responds. "I've got news for you Russell, you don't belong in this timeline," says Sailor Pluto. "What do you mean?" Russell questions, "Of course I belong here. The Cherry Hill Temple is still the same as in my timeline. I just don't know why Lita's is different." "'Cause it's really mine and MY Lita's," Robert answers. "Actually, the year is 200X, you've traveled obviously 6 years in the future," says Sailor Pluto, "But you don't exist 6 years ago because not only timelines are mixing, but realities are also mixing." "That explains why I probably don't exist in his timeline," Robert concludes, referring to Russell. "Realities, how could that be?" Russell asks. "I really don't know," Sailor Pluto answers, "I do know that someone is causing the disturbance in the timeline and bringing stuff from history into our timeline." "Do you know who it might be?" Robert asks. "I know of one person who's powers of manipulating time rivals that of my own," Sailor Pluto answers with a somewhat deep tone, "A woman named Valaris is the only person I know who has the power to manipulate time." "Can you find her?" Russell asks. "She's difficult for any normal person to find since she tends to phase in and out of the space-time continuum," Sailor Pluto responds, "But I can find her rather easily." "Good, we could use your help," says Robert, "Let's meet back at Lita's apartment and discuss our battle plans." The trio walks toward Russell's car and hops inside. Russell starts his engine and pulls out of the field and toward Lita's. "So Russell, how'd you end up teaming with Jupiter Star Warrior?" Sailor Pluto asks. "We met at the grocery store when he thought I was the older Raye's boyfriend," Russell replies. "You look too much like her to be her boyfriend," says Sailor Pluto. "Plus, I am Tuxedo Inferno, warrior of fire and protector of good," Russell adds, "I just found out today who the Sailor Scouts really are, and they found out who I am." "We could use each other's help in our battle against this Valaris," says Robert as they weave through the streets of Tokyo, trying to avoid the T-Rexes and dodging some parked WWII fighters. ------------------------------End of Part II--------------------------- Y2V: Well, I'd say it's gettin' pretty interesting. They've found Sailor Pluto and found out what was goin' on. It looks like we're gonna have ourselves a battle between all the scouts and this Valaris character. Well I'll hand it over to Jupiter Star Warrior. JSW: Whew! A big battle indeed! Well, you all just sit back and relax while me and Viper Inferno gets this thing completed! We're about to get some big surprises out for all of you, so ENJOY! Wait, I should have saved that for the beginning of our third part... Oh well! That's something to take care of later! SAYONARA! Both: E-mail us, a'ight? Have fun, Sailor Moon Fans, Viper Inferno & Jupiter Star Warrior
