Sword of Darkness 14 (the last moments)By: Fragraham Lincon "Why create the world if it only leads to destruction? Why create me If I am but a poison to the universe? Why do we all hang on to life knowing that we must inevitably die?" Mewtwo pondered these thoughts as he looked deep into his reflection on his sword. "Man curses his God, as I curse man, and so in the vicous circle she curses me. It seems all beings ultimately come to dispise their creator. But no more. I will bring the cycle of pain to an end." I stood atop at tower of Mewtwo's fortress. The sun was setting. I was sure that I wouldn't live to see it rise. It all seemed so hopeless. "SHINKUKAKEN!" I screamed hurling an energy ball across the water in frustration. Later. It would take a miracle to beat mewtwo but I was never much one to sit back and wait for the fates to intervene. Some believed that God would always prevent evile from happening but from what I've seen he checks on us only when we're born ans once more when we die, and very little else. With the intent of taking destiny into my own hand I searched through the DGF datapases on Shanes old dimensional calculator. He always had to have the most advanced gadget. even if it had been years since I lifted it from him it still gave me access to the old archives. Unfortunately I couldn't break his password. "ass, pimp, chocolate, terra" Nothing works. FInally I dropped the device and it gave me an auditory response "access granted" The password was entered by accident. It was so deceptively simple ***** how could I overlook that? Anyway I did get in. I read through the old information on the four parts. it was very clear on the methods of succession. the gaurdian rings which formed the sword of light were passed down the gaurdian's line. the destroyer rings sought out those with hearts filled with pain. The lucifer's key was constantly handed off by carriers. and the ultimate force bonded itself for life to it's carrier. and uppon his death it passed on to the next generation. I felt a little reassured that Even if Mewtwo could defeat me he could never claim the ultimate force. Then again he shouldn't have been able to get Lucifer's key. Beyond those I found the old history of the gaurdians and a bunch of other old stuff that didn't matter. then I stumbled uppon an entry called "superhumans" It read as follows gaurdian Gale's log- I have encountered the stangest thing. These warriors are impossibly strong. They rival even the strength of the vortex. I had by mistake confronted them. I would regret it. I was beaten badly but rather than kill me one stepped forward and spared my life. He took me in and healed my wounds. He tought me of their ways. He explained that his race was not defined by birth and that all were welcome. all with the strength and the disciplin that is to evolve to the next stage of the human spirit. He brought me to the temple and I could watch them train. I myself partook of some of the training and feel my vortex power is stronger for it. After several years I left never having attained the level of physical and spiritual perfection that they had. but he did leave me with one last gift. A prophecy. He said that all humans, evne superhumans were still limited in their spirit's power by ther fact that they were by the nature of humanity greedy and self centered. even the most selfless person has the basic instinct to presserve themself over others. But if they had something to protect. something so important that they would sacrifice their very humanity for, then there would be no limit to the power that person could summon. they would become a fighting god. It is because of this legend of the fighting god that we sould never agian visit this world and it's coordinants be wiped from the records. Most of this I knew already but the legend of the fighting god was interesting. It gave me a faint glimmer of hope to hang on to. which is really what I needed to convince myself to fight. to be honest I was thinking of running away. I didn't see any point in fighting a battle I couldn't win. But if the legend was true then one of us might be able to defeat mewtwo. I figured it would be Ray if anyone. He's the most experianced and to be honest the least selfish of us all. (but don't go telling him I said that). I proceeded to thier rooms to tell them. but I was halted by Ash who was speeding down the coffidoor. I followed him to find that he was searching for Mew. We finally found ourlesves in the bleachers above the arena. Mewtwo was there with Mew. "Always I had to live up to your legacy. you in fact are the very reason my painful existance began." Mewtwo said to Mew. "Mew?" "You don't even fully understand. But I think it's fitting what I have planned for you. I've developed something called a master ball. Yes you remember it don't you. This new model is perfect for holding being like yourself. From the inside you can listen to the agonizing screams of your friends." "Mew." Mewtwo vannished. Ash and I lept down to meet him. Ash and I looked at Mew and then at each other. "I know what I have to do." said Ash. "Right. Go find that masterball. If we can put Mewtwo in it this will all be over." Ash ran off through the nearest set of doors with Mew. I laughed with joy at the simple solution to the nighmarish problem. Then something hit me in the back. I landed face down in the dirt. I rolled over to see Mewtwo behind me. He held up and hourglass in which the last few grains of sand were falling. "DAMN!" I said reallizing that I had lost track of time. Ray, Shane, and Mac were already at the door. "Getting a little impatient" asked Mac. I stood up. "Mewtwo..............we don't have to fight like this. Please get rid of that sword. It will tear your soul apart. Believe me. I've seen it's effects first hand." I said half trying to reason with him and half trying to stall for time. "Why should you care? You're a human. You have everything and I have nothing. THis sword Is all I've ever had. My weapon, my ally, and my only friend. I WON'T LET YOU TAKE IT AWAY!" "Please Mewtwo listen to reason! It's using you. It's feeding off of your pain." "Pain? You don't know what pain is. YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE! YOU'VE NEVER ONCE SPENT YOUR BREATHS CURSING YOUR OWN EXISTANCE AND ALL RESPONSIBLE FOR IT. DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO SPEND EVERY MOMENT OF YOUR LIFE WISHING YOU HAD NEVER BEEN BORN! YOU HUMAN'S CAN'T POSSIBLY UNDERSTAND! I HATE YOU HUMANS AND EVERY LIVING THING THAT KEEPS ME FROM PEACE AND HAPPINESS. YOU HORDE IT ALL TO YOURSELVES. You think you can just ignore be because I'm some misserable creation. WELL TODAY IS THE DAY THAT ALL MISERABLE CREATIONS STRIKE BACK!!!!!" "Please wait....." But it was too late. Mewtwo's mind had already been lost to the sword's power. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- that's it for now. the last part is going to take a helluvalotta work to finnish. untill then take care. Or not.
