Many know of the ancient legend. Years ago a deadly storm raged across Atmos wiping out all but a few Sky Knight squadrons. The magical tears of those squadrons rained down and all life was restored. Now a new, very different life is about to be created. A new legend is about to be born...
Diary of Professor Johnson
New Island cloning laboratory
Day 1
Today our colleagues made an exciting discovery! Something we have been hoping to find for a long time. Deep in the jungles on Terra Amazonia in a isolated cave they came across a bone. The bone itself is very small but more importantly it was found on a makeshift alter in front of an ancient drawing that had been carved into the wall. The cave drawing showed the first and most legendary Sky Knight, Mew! I did not believe it myself when I first heard the news!. Not many records about her remain but the few that have talk of how Mew created the order of the Sky Knight and helped established the Sky Knight Academy to train them. Her powers also far exceeded all of those around her which helped establish her place in our history. One of these powers was the rarity of being an Animagus, that is to transform into a creature unique to the person which gives the possession of abilities and talents impossible in their original form. The cave drawing shows Mew as her Animagus which is a small cat like creature and, if this bone does belong to her as we suspect is does, it means we may have the chance to make scientific history!
Day 23
Today came the most surprising and unexpected news in that Terra Cyclonia has collapsed!. As for Master Cyclonis it is widely believed that she has not survived whilst her forces and followers have been left to either be arrested or flee, much like the last time she lost power. But we cannot dwell on outside distractions, not now. We are spending hours in the lab each day, barely eating and sleeping, in our determination to make this project work. We have isolated Mew's DNA from the bone and as soon as we have perfected the cloning machine we can begin attempting to create a identical copy of her. Won't it be wonderful to create new life from someone who is more of a legend than a person? It will be like giving a gift to Atmos.
Day 39
There have been arguments among the scientists over the past few days. Some members of the team, myself included, want to alter Mew's DNA in order to ensure that the clone will be even stronger than Mew was ever said to be. The others, however, say that we should leave it as it is in order to ensure that the prototype is safely created. But how can we miss the chance to improve on what nature has already proven itself able to create? If we do not take a risk and try and make the Mew clone more powerful we would not be living up to our potential as scientists.
Day 47
After much negotiation and persuasion the whole team have agreed on altering Mew's DNA. It has also been decided that the clone shall be created a the form similar to Mew's Animagus. This should give it much greater power so much so that I think this clone has the potential of becoming the most powerful living being in Atmos. We are about to undertake the greatest ever experiment to date.
Day 60
There's not much time to write tonight as we are all busy with the final stages of the cloning process. The DNA has finally been altered whilst the cloning machine is at last ready to begin it's task. We will attempt the cloning process tonight.
Day 67
It has been a tense and hectic week but we have finally got our result. We were successful!. Yes, it actually worked!. The cloning process worked!. Now the Mew clone has grown to it's full size and is fast asleep in a tank of fluid in the laboratory. We will call it Mewtwo. There is nothing left to do now but watch and wait for it to wake up. Watch and wait...
Strange images floated through the creature's mind. It saw bubbles, bubbles dancing in crystal blue water as they floated towards the sun lit surface. Then it saw an island covered in deep dark green forests with a sparkling blue lake shimmering in the middle of it. The island was floating in remote and peaceful skies that remained empty of anything else. It was a Terra. It didn't know how it knew this, the name simply came to it. Suddenly a small creature, without the aid of wings, could be seen flying through skies above the lush land mass before floating down towards it. It then saw people, many people.
The creature stirred slowly as it opened it's eyes. It found that it was floating in a glass tank which was filled with red bubbly fluid. Through the glass the creature saw a group of people standing around it. People in long white coats. Scientists It thought, it's mind once again coming up with and absorbing the needed information. Watching the scientists the creature saw that they were all staring at it and whispering.
"It's awake!" One of them cried. Awake? I'm awake? The creature thought as it looked down at it's body. It saw strong muscles awaken and tense beneath it's white fur. It did feel awake. It felt more than awake. It felt powerful. Closing it's eyes the creature wished for and imagined the tank to break into a million pieces. Almost instantly the tank around it shattered, causing the red fluid to surge out and soak the floor, leaving the creature crouched on the base of the tank.
"Where am I?" It asked, it's deep rich male voice filling the room. One of the scientists stepped forward. He was middle aged thin man with premature grey hair and a beard. It seemed he was the chief scientist as he'd ensured he was stood in the middle of the group and looked the most pleased yet the most overworked of them all.
"Mewtwo is complete!" He announced enthusiastically to his fellow scientists.
"Mewtwo?" The creature asked curiously, twitching it's purple trimmed furred tail slightly.
"That is your name" The scientist replied. "We used the most powerful Sky Knight in Atmos to create you, she was called Mew" He explained slowly and clearly, as if talking to a child. He then pointed to a chunk of stone which had been placed in a display case on the nearby wall. It was the ancient cave drawing that had been drilled out and transported back to the laboratory with the bone. Showing Mew in her Animagus form the image was of a small cat like creature with a long thin tail. Mewtwo noticed it bore a resemblance to it's own taller and more muscular form. Studying the drawing for a moment Mewtwo then narrowed it's eyes in deep thought. This was the creature from it's dreams.
"You said you used Mew to create me? What do you mean?" It asked the scientists, causing them all to beam with pride.
"It's a scientific miracle!" The chief scientist said proudly. "We used a sample of Mew's DNA to make a copy of her, a clone, and you are the result of our experiment" He explained.
"Why? Why did you do it?" Mewtwo asked.
"We wanted to see if it was possible to make a clone of the legendary Sky Knight!" He replied. "And we proved it could be done! You are that proof" He added boastfully. Confusion quickly clouded Mewtwo's mind. To it's understanding the people standing in front of it seemed do pleased with their work, their experiment. But Mewtwo didn't feel like a scientific experiment. It felt alive.
"And now what will you do with me?" It asked.
"We will study you" The chief scientist told it. "We believe you are stronger than Mew and want to find out exactly what your capable of" He explained before he turned to his colleagues as they all started congratulating each other and celebrating. Anger surged through Mewtwo. These scientists only created me to run tests! It thought. They treat me like an object! But I am not an object, I am alive! It screamed in it's head.
"I will show you what I am capable of!" Mewtwo suddenly shouted out loud as it's eyes narrowed into vicious slits. The room they were all in was filled with tanks identical to the one Mewtwo had been in and it was those that it decided to concentrate on those first. There was a terrible crashing sound as one by one the tanks shattered at it's will. The scientists began screaming in terror with some even fleeing the room as the laboratory around them descended into chaos. Their screams delighted Mewtwo as it turned it's attention to the nearby crystal generator. Instantly sparks of energy flew from it before it exploded. Soon the room was ablaze.
"Mewtwo no!" The chief scientist cried out. He was the only one of the scientists still in the burning room, perhaps thinking he could regain control of his prized creation. Frantically he scrambled for a button on the wall he was crouched against. Mechanical arms shot out from hatches in the walls and began to enclose around Mewtwo, ready to restrain it. But the creature quickly countered by creating a wave of bright blue energy that sliced the arms to metal chunks. The chief scientist quickly realised nothing else could be done to stop it now and finally ran from the room in the hope of escaping the burning building. Mewtwo watched him go before forming a large bright blue energy bubble around itself that it then used to safely pass through the roaring flames and and out of the building. Once outside, the scientists having fled on some form of transport available to them, Mewtwo saw that the laboratory was on a small island surrounded by water and not by skies as it had imagined it would have been. This island must be on a Terra It thought as it noticed what looked like another much larger stretch of land on the horizon. Behind Mewtwo the charred remains laboratory were slowly being reduced to ash as angry red flames and smoke billowed out from it's structure. A feeling of power surged through Mewtwo as it turned around and saw the destruction. It decided it was a good feeling and that it liked it. Standing on the island's rocky shore Mewtwo finally dissolved it's energy bubble. It was time to start again. The laboratory it had awoken in was gone but it didn't matter because it would be rebuilt.
"Soon I will have my revenge" Mewtwo stated. "My revenge on all people!" It vowed.
