Sword of Darkness Part 3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Special note: I am not obsessed with pokemon. I Watch the series because it's anime and I saw the movie because it's the first Mass release anime in american theaters. And yes I bought the soundtrack. But again I am a major otaku not a pokemaniac. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Mew" "Oh back from wherever you went I see." I said to Mew upon his arrival at my ship. Mew looked behind him and gestured toward the door he had come though as if beckoning someone to come. From the door entered Ray. "Huh? Okay what did I do now?" I asked esxpecting the usual mile long sheet of complaints. "Actually Nothing. I (shudder) need your help" he answered. "So you ran into Mewtwo huh? Did he issue the same thurough ass whonpin he gave me?" "And a side of fries." "What about Shane and Mac?" "Shane's tied by the pencil pushers and Mac.. ...who knows." "Well that's just dandy. Shane is probably Mewtwo's next target." "Tell me something I don't know." "Well how about this. I don't have universal translator technology. What the heck is Mew saying?" Ray takes a pocket translator out. "Mew (Translation: I felt something like myself so I followed it.)" "Is that all?" I asked. "Well he does have the maturity level of a two year old. What did you expect?" Ray anwsered. "So You got any ideas? I usually just train harder and follow the bad guy. But Mewtwo has me compleatly perplexed." "Well that's why you should have stayed in the gaurdian academy. I have some ideas. We should do some research. Since Mewtow is a pokemon then we go to his homeworld." We both shuddered at teh thought. I took Ray's advice and made preparations to jump. When we arrived we set down out of sight. Ray and I went out with Mew. "The last human to contact Mewtwo was a kid named Ash. He has an integral part in the destiny of this world. Uh, you may want to go without me. I kind of abducted his Pikachu and I don't think he'll be overly thrilled when I tell him it died." Ray said. "Pikachu died? Now what am I gonna kick?" I responded. We went split up. I went in search of Ash, and Ray went to look for traces of Mewtwo. It wasn't long before I found Ash. He was with Misty and Brock as usual. Mew got their attention. They were in the middle of a trip. Ash as always was on a quest to obtain more badges. So we walked and talked. I kept pressing for information about Mewtwo but he didn't even recognize the name. Ray didn't bother to tell me that Mewtwo had used a memory block. It was getting late. The sun was going down, and a ferice storm was aproaching. It was convenient that we were passing through a rocky area. We set up camp beneth a rock ledge to protect us from the rain. It was getting cold. It seemed like brock was asleep but who could tell? Misty was shivering from the cold. Ash put his jacket over her, which seemed oddly kind considering that they had been squabling nonstop all day. Misty made a snide comment. Ash looked a little indignant. "Good for them." I thought. I could tell there was something even if they couldn't. I was getting rather cold myself. I dug into my utillity belt and found a compressed blanket. I curled up in it. Mew curled up and fell asleep on top of me. Normally I would protest to anything that cut being within a mile of me but he kind of reminded a cat. In fact I was growing rather attached to the little guy. I fell asleep. My dream was rather weird. I heard the voice of Mewtwo echo in my head. I saw entire worlds go up in smoke. There in front of me stood Mewtwo. "Give me the ultimate force or I will kill them all." THen he started kicking me. Then slamming me around with his psi power. Then it occured to me. I wasn't asleep anymore. I got my bearings to see Mewtwo standing over me. Ash tried to rush him but was easilly swatted aside. Mew fought Mewtwo back long enough for me to retalliate by drawing some guns and blasting like there was no tomorrow. Apparently there wasn't going to be because it didn't put so much as a scratch on him. Mewtwo swelled up his power and knocked out Mew. He then brought the sword of Omni from his back. Brock, who had been standing aside, tried to attack but was also thrown back. I threw down my gun and dawned my mecha armor. I lept up and fired off missiles flame throwers freeze rays and anything else I had tucked away. "Pathetic. Attacking a problem directly is the worst way of dealing with it. Rather cut away the root. And the whole organism dies. Show me your true human nature. All you have to do is destroy yourself and everything else to win." Said Mewtwo. "I don't know what the Hell you're talking about. Has all that power warped your mind?" I responded. "No it has only made it clearer." "What he means is that humans destroy much more indirectly than directly." Said Ray arriving on the scene. "Yes. You destroy the ecosystem. And everything in it dies. And to destroy the ecosystem all you need do is destroy one component. Cut away one support." responded Mewtwo. Ash too seemed to be understanding. "So what's that got to do with you?" I asked. "Only fitting that humans be destroyed by natures avengure in the same manner they destroyed nature. Allow me to demonstrate. If the young boy here were to lose his support then his sorrow would strengthen the powers of darkness. Tipping the scales ever so slightly toward the side of evil. And so the sword of Omni would become stronger. Tipping the balance in my favour." Mewtwo answered. "What do you mean support?" asked Ash. It was becoming clear as Mewtwo's attention turned to Misty. She, realizing his intent, tried to run away. She ran toward ash but before she could reach him was stabbed in the back by Mewtwo's sword. She fell to her knees her hand falling just short of Ash's. "Ash......" Misty said on a short dying breath, and with that she was gone. Ash held Misty in his arms morning her death. He then stood with a bitter determination. "Did it feel good to take that girls life away? Don't you understand? She's gone you bastard! She'll never laugh or cry, never smile again. Never again see the begining of a new day. DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT MEANS?! SHE NEVER DID ANYTHING TO YOU!!! Misty was one of the best of us humans, and now she's dead." "You claim to despise humans. But you proved yourself to be no better than we are. No you're worse. Humans do what they do because they need to. Or fight at least because they want to. You don't even place value on your actions. You just kill for the sake of killing. You have no concience, and that's something that even the worst of us have." I said. Ray said nothing He simply flared his power up more than I had ever seen in a fit of anger and challenged Mewtwo. "Hmph. Your self rightous emotions serve only one purpose and that is to make me stronger. You are but my pawns. Do not think that you can play the game." Mewtwo said. Ray Went through his transformation into the chosen one and prepared his three bladed sword. I went into MegaloFrag mode and joined in. Mewtow fought us both back without even placing his other hand on his sword. Mew joined in but still Mewtwo was not putting fourth much effort. I took a punch on the jaw and dropped the dimensional deputy badge Ray had given me. It probably would have made sense to use it earlier. Ash looked at it. He picked it up. "Hey Ray do you think he's gonna?" "No way the chances of him already knowing are one in a....." Ash Interupted Ray "Dimensional power badge activate!" "So I guess he is a natural. So if he's getting knowlege from the vortesx do you think he'll be able to figure out how to use it?" I asked again. Before Ray could even open his mouth Ash had already called on the dimensional saber and joined in the fight. "I'LL KILL YOU!!!!" creamed ash, tears still in his eyes partially obscuring his vision. But he wasn't fighting on skill. He was fighting on heart alone. Mewtwo raised up the sword of Omni still stained with blood taunting Ash. Ash's expression became one of pure hatred. He utterly blitzkrieged Mewtwo at times even hitting him though with little effect. Brock also wanting to help avenge his fallen companion commanded all of his Ash's and Misties pokemon to launch their strongest attacks. Mew took the cue and launched a full force psi attack. I began raising my power level. Ray prepared his attack. "OMNI...........DIMENSIONAL........ ........POWER............BBBBBBLLLLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!." my power level hit 999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 I fired W-BOmbardment and Ray fired his attack Ash Pulled out the dimensional blaster. "DIMENSIONAL BLASTER JUNON GUN!!!!!" Ash fired as well. All the attacks hit Mewtwo's sheild. They held on for a while inch by inch pushing him back. But as our raging emotion increased our power so seemed the sword's power to increase. Though his sheild showed no sines of losing integrity his foothold did as he was slowly edged back. When he stepped back to regain his ballance a vortex appeared and he falls in to some unknown destination. "Hey we made him run away." I declared in false confidence. "No, that wasn't one he opened on purpose. He could have stayed in the fight for as long as he wanted and never given in. That looks mor like a Gaurdian Portal. I suppose we owe Shane one." Ray responded. Ash's power went away and he dropped the badge. I stuffed it back in my pocket. Ray and I watched quitly as Ash went back over to Misty. He just cried. I didn't blame him. I put my sunglasses on over my eyes. It was just a reflex so no one could see that I was almost crying myself. Ray had his back turned so I can't vouch for him. We left the scene. We stayed a few days lying low to keep tabs on Ash. We next saw him standing at the beech alone. He was holding an empty urn. "You always liked the sea. I suppose it was the idea of the freedom on the waves. Well now you're a part of it. I hope this makes you a little happier. I'll miss you Mistie. I just wish I had told you what we both knew we felt, before it was too late. It's been a week now and I still expect to see you every morning. I guess since you were always there we had all the time in the world. I never told you but you were always a bright spot even if you drove me crazy. I bet you're up there in heaven partying away right now. Promise you'll wait for me okay." When Ash had stopped we aproached. "Do you want to find the one who did this?" Ray asked. "I think I'd be better off if I neve met you two." He responded bluntly. "That wasn't the question. The question was do you want to find the one who did this." I added. "Well of coarse I do. I want to take Mewtwo out, or die trying. I figure I win either way. I avenge Misty or I can be with her soon." Ash responded. "Well right now It's kind of looking to the second choice. The current score is Mewtwo three Humanity Zero." I said. "Here Welcome aboard." Said Ray handing Ash a new badge. Ash took the badge. We returned to the ship. We had a long story to tell and a new recruit to teach. On top of that we had to figure out where Mewtwo was going to strike next. This is getting bad. Really bad. Elsewhere: Mewtwo was talking to Jigglyblock. "Yes I know. They will come. All of them The world is full of so called heroes each thinking that he is the only true savior. That is why my victory will be so easy. --------------------------------------end of part 3----------------------------------------------------------- BET YOU DIDN'T SEE THAT COMING!!!!!
