1 Brother, My Brother
A figure stands in infinite darkness.
It lifts a pale hand, which begins to glow faintly with a bluish light, and beings to speak with a deep voice filled with wisdom and power, "Long, long ago the story began. It was a story of friendship and love, a story of pain and growth, but most of all it was a story of life…"
(Begin soundtrack, "Brother, My Brother" from Pokemon: the First Movie)
The scene shifts to a dark, stormy night. A young boy of about 3, in wet shirt and shorts, is running into a forest clearing, the pounding rain and lightning pounding down around him. The boy stops, as if hearing a noise. He turns and runs into the trees, where a cat-like form about his size curled up in some roots, crying silently. It sniffs and stops, looking up at the boy, who smiles and picks it up in his arms. A blue-white meteor with a spiral trail and a double core streaks through the night sky over head. And time progresses…
"Brother, my brother
Tell me what are we fighting for,
We've got to end this war,"
The boy, now about 16, and the strange cat pokemon he found years ago stand in a darkened and badly damaged arena. Both are panting and holding large swords similar to katana but of nodachi length. They each have a variety of bleeding cuts on their bodies. The Pokemon, who could only be Mewtwo, although with more human-like arms and chest, smaller, thinner and shorter tail, larger torso and generally more human in proportions, and wearing clothes. The boy lifts his sword to defend himself from the overhead slash from behind as the Strange Mewtwo attacks, a black metal collar visible around his neck. The scene fades as the boy flashes brilliant white and the Mewtwo is sent flying.
"We should love one another
Oh, can't we just pretend
This war never began?"
A boy, now 5, is seen running, his arms spread to his sides, through a grass field that reaches up to his chest, being chased by the Mewtwo wearing the same clothes as he. Mewtwo pounces on the boy and they both laugh as they roll through the grass, wrestling, their laughter ringing through the field the entire time...
"We can try
Brother, my Brother
We face each other
From different sides
The anger burns,
Can't remember why…"
The boy and the Mewtwo, now 6, are in a simple room arguing hotly over a broken toy. Finally the boy turns and runs away, crying. The Mewtwo, tears also in his eyes, sobs and falls down crying for a time. He sees a hand offering a toy, identical to the one that broke. The Mewtwo sniffs and looks up. Seeing the boy, they embrace and are soon attempting to fix the broken toy…
"…It's kinda crazy
To cause such pain
Our foolish pride
Makes us hate this way…"
The boy and Mewtwo, now 10, stand in a forest clearing, large swords at their backs. They bow, then leap at each other, drawing swords of katana- shape but much bigger, almost 2 meters of blade 3 inches in width, a yin- yang stamped near the bottom of the blade. They begin to duel, much like bad samurai movies where the fighters range all over the place with leaps and rolls, blocking and slashing at an amazing rate. Finally, the boy gains the upper hand and with a sweep trips the Mewtwo, who lands hard, but does not drop his blade. The boy sheaths his sword, wipes his forehead, and offers his hand to the Mewtwo, who winces as the boy pulls him to his feet, but smiles. They bow and begin again…
"We watch our road fall apart
Tell me, what good is winning
When you lose your heart?"
The boy, again in the arena, is standing, his breath coming in great gasps. The Mewtwo is across the arena, partially buried by rubble from the wall. The Mewtwo stands up, slowly, bringing his sword again to bear, then falling again to his knees as the boy watches sadly…
"We should love one another
Oh why can we just pretend
This war never began?"
The Mewtwo stands on a rock, watching the sunset, a tear rolling from his eye. He wears a strange silver armor(Think Bob's from Reboot at the end of season 3, but with a helmet and shoulder guards that stick outward and ornate gauntlets) with both swords at his back. Twin huge wings of white feathers stick out on either side but fold around him. His head snaps up as if hearing something, and is shocked by what he sees. The boy sits on the rock above him in the shadows, speaking. He pauses and looks at Mewtwo and smiles, as a ray of light from the sunset strikes his form, revealing it to be ghostly transparent…
"…Tell me why,
Brother, my brother
Let's take a moment
And look deep inside
And say we're willing
To give love a try,"
The Mewtwo stands, in his armor, facing what looks to be a giant stone temple, illuminated by occasional lightning strikes from the storm around it, a bright column of blue light shining into the sky from its center. As he prepares to enter it through huge open doors of wood, a hand on his shoulder stops him. He turns to see a teenaged girl with long black hair. She speaks 4 words. The Mewtwo nods, then runs into the temple, leaving the girl behind in the storm, tears welling up in her eyes…
"We're not as different
As we seem to be
There's so much more to me
Than you see,"
The Mewtwo has reached the Temple's central chamber, where a huge crystal nexus producing the blue light lies. The nexus is surrounded by small spheres of the light. Suddenly, the Mewtwo is sent flying by a blast of Dark energy, fired by a man standing at the base of the crystal. He laughs and turns back to the crystal. The Mewtwo tries to stand, and fails. Tears roll from his eyes. But amazingly, a human form fades into view, forming from one of the small light spheres that had detached from the others, offering his hand to Mewtwo. The Mewtwo stares in shock, but takes the hand. A white glow envelops them. The man turns back and looks in shock at the light, which now conceals the pair. A huge beam of white light sends the man flying from the crystal as the light fades to reveal…
"We don't have to be this way
Think about consequences
Turn around and walk away…"
The dark man and a new, mysterious winged form are locked in a battle of pure energy, beams of light and dark meeting in the center of the room. The shock waves are tremendous and the temple begins to break apart. Oddly, the crystal is still intact, but its light wavers, as if deciding…
"…Brother, my brother
Tell me, what are we fighting for
Isn't life worth so much more?
We could love on another
Oh why can't we just pretend
This war never began?"
The Boy, now about 14, and the Mewtwo face each other across a field, a strange sun setting between them. The both wore simple and identical clothes and had drawn their swords. The sun was orange and black, divided vertically into a Yin-Yang, a Tiger is pictured in orange on the black half, which is closer to the Mewtwo, and a Dragon pictured in black on the orange half, closer to the Boy.
"Tell me why,
Brother, my brother
TELL ME WHY!"
They suddenly leap at each other, their swords clashing in the exact center of the Yin-Yang, the scene suddenly goes black.
Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon, unfortunately. Most of the characters in this will be my creation though. If you want to borrow, please ask first.
Note: This is my first Chaptered fic, also my first on a major site, so please be kind. Non-constructive flames will be met with a Dimense Tap Cannon. Also, no the girl is not in love with the Mewtwo.
