My name is The Legend and I am a Mewn. Several thousand years ago I was once a Mew living in peace with my master and his people the pokemopolitans. However the pokemopolitans turned on my species and slaughtered them for their fur. I evolved after my master's death at their hands and obliterated their civilization. I also vowed to avenge all Mew that had been killed. I now roam the Earth looking like a human and I call myself The Legend. I stop genetic experiments that take place on pokemon and continue to eradicate the descendants of the pokemopolitans who escaped my wrath the first time around. Now after a conflict with my subconscious, I can no longer become The Legend until I find my true self. I'm currently stuck in an alternate universe trying to get home. This is my story.
Ancient Ruins: Sonic and Sally were standing inside some ruins of an ancient civilization. Sally was using Nicole, her handheld computer, to scan the images and text carved on the walls.
"Run that by me again," said Sonic. Sally pointed to a painting.
"A long time ago an extremely advanced and benevolent civilization created a portal to unknown worlds. However, once they turned it on, a creature was drawn into our world from another. This creature proceeded to eradicate their civilization and was barely stopped by the last member of their civilization who managed to put the creature to sleep. The creature, before it went to sleep, said it would return this year and obliterate the Earth. I'm afraid as to what might happen should that creature return," said Sally.
"What proof do you have that it exists?" asked Sonic.
"I don't, there's only this one picture," she said. She pointed to a creature that was entirely white and stood up like a man. Sonic shrugged.
"If he shows up, he shows up," said Sonic. An alarm went off.
"Warning, unidentified creature located heading for Robotnik City," said Nicole. Sonic picked up Sally and blasted off back to the base. He stopped inside the control room where Bunny and Tails were looking at a gigantic screen that showed a map. A small moving blip, that indicated where the creature was, was headed towards the city.
"It's nearly there. Why didn't we detect it earlier?" asked Sonic. Bunny shrugged.
"We don't know. The creature just appeared out of nowhere," she said. Sally looked at the screen.
"Do we have a visual?" she asked. Bunny checked a few screens.
"It's just approaching the lake of rings. I'll try and activate the camera there," she said. Sonic closed his fist as Knuckles entered the room.
"What's up?" he asked. Sonic looked at him.
"A creature is headed for Robotnik City and we don't know why. I just pray it's not the Shadow incident all over again or we're in trouble," he said.
"Here we go, we have visual," said Bunny. Sonic and Sally gasped as the white creature from the ruins was displayed before them.
"Nicole, scan image and correlate similarities with image on ruins wall," Sally said. The computer pulled up the images and scanned them.
"There's a 98% chance that this is the same creature," Nicole said.
"Then we've got to take it out before it destroys the entire planet. Let's go Knuckles," said Sonic taking off.
"Here Knuckles take this. It's the latest in laser technology. Try and use it against the creature and see what happens," said Sally handing him a pokedex shaped device. Knuckles nodded.
"Right behind you Sonic," responded Knuckles taking off after him.
"Be careful you two," said Sally. She looked at the image as the creature floated up and flew over the Lake of Rings. Sally just shook her head in astonishment.
Lake of Rings: Mewn touched down between the lake and the city.
"If it wasn't for that meddling Giovanni I would never have wound up here," he said angrily. Mewn walked to the cities main gates.
"May I help you?" asked a robot at the main entrance.
"Yes. Who's in charge here?" asked Mewn. The robot pointed to a large billboard with a humans face on it.
"The great Robotnik," said the robot. Mewn proceeded inside.
"Wait, you need a pass," said the robot. Mewn flung out his left hand and obliterated the robot with his psychic powers before proceeding into the industrial complex. He was wandering down the main street when a blur whooshed past him and stopped. A black hedgehog stood in front of him.
"My master requests your presence," said the hedgehog.
"Fine," said Mewn.
"Follow me if you can," said Shadow. The hedgehog zoomed off at incalculable speeds and zipped down several different routes before stopping in front of a small building. He smiled knowing that the other creature was probably lost. He was about to go back for him when a voice behind him said.
"About time you got here. I thought I was going to die of old age," said a voice. Shadow whirled around to see the creature lounging on a chair eating an apple. Shadow growled.
"How did you follow me?" he demanded. Mewn pointed to his head.
"I'm psychic. Now I'll go see your master," said Mewn brushing past him while chucking the apple aside. Mewn entered the building and looked as a single elevator shaft was located in the center. Mewn boarded it and it zoomed off. The elevator stopped and Mewn emerged into a darkened room with a desk at the end. A figure stood at the desk.
"I'm," began the person.
"Yes I know. Robotnik," said Mewn.
"That much I know, who are you?" asked Robotnik.
"I'm Mewn and I require the use of your facilites," said Mewn. The pokemon sat down on a chair in front of the desk.
"I didn't tell you to sit down," Robotnik scowled.
"I didn't ask," responded Mewn still sitting.
"Right. Anyway, what do you want?" asked Robotnik.
"I want access to a scanner system and any of your facilities that I may require. In return I'll pay your whatever you need," said Mewn pulling out a checkbook from his backpack. Robotnik held up his hand.
"I only require your services in return for help," said Robotnik. Mewn put back the checkbook.
"Then forget it. I'm not stupid. I won't become your pawn like Shadow and whoever this 'Knuckles' character is," said Mewn. Robotnik nearly fell out of his chair.
"What are you talking about?" he asked. Mewn tapped his right pointer finger on the right side of his head.
"I can read your thoughts because I'm psychic. Clearly in this world you are the universal bad guy. I refuse to ally myself with the likes of you. I'm leaving," said Mewn standing up.
"You're not going anywhere," said Robotnik pressing a button on his desk. Dozens of metal arms reached out to restrain Mewn but he merely brushed them aside with his psychic powers.
"Clearly you aren't worthy of helping me and as such I will find my own way home," said Mewn. He thrust out his hands and the whole room started to break apart. Robotnik ran off and Mewn took to the sky by slamming through the floor and up through the building.
Outside: Shadow watched as Mewn burst free of the building right before it exploded. Shadow growled and started throwing things at Mewn. However the pokemon merely picked it up and flung it far away with his incredible psychic powers. Mewn looked around and decided there was probably nothing more that could be done here and started uprooting buildings and flinging them away with his powers. Dozens of attack craft moved to stop him, but the pokemon deflected their attacks and blew them away. Mewn psychically discovered a reactor control room and stopped the cooling system. The pokemon flew away as the whole city exploded.
City Limits: Sonic and Knuckles came to a halt right before a streak of light flew away from the city before the whole place blew up.
"My god," said Knuckles looking at the destruction. Sonic watched the light land in the distance.
"Come on. Whatever destroyed that place most likely landed nearby," said Sonic zooming off with Knuckles in tow.
Forest: Mewn thought about what he had done but shrugged it off as being necessary. Mewn decided that he would bide his time until he discovered the means to get home. Clearly while Robotnik's industrial complex lacked the technology to properly identify how the card reader/dimensional transporter and take him home. Clearly it wouldn't take him home unless a proper power source was used. Mewn took out the device and looked at it. Suddenly a blur slammed into him causing him to drop the device and fly backwards. The blur stopped and revealed a blue hedgehog.
"First a black one and now a blue one. Odd," said Mewn.
"I'm not the same one as Shadow, but I'm just as bad. I know you've come to destroy our world and I can't let you do that," said Sonic.
"What are you talking…," began Mewn before Knuckles slammed his fists into his chest. Mewn fell down like a rock. Mewn thrust out his hand and Knuckles find himself flying backwards into a tree. Sonic zoomed towards him but Mewn lifted him off the ground with his powers and Sonic find himself running with nowhere to go. Mewn then flung him backwards as well. Knuckles recovered his senses and grabbed the device Sally had given them for use against the creature. He fired it and a laser blast flew out towards the creature. The blast arced up and away as Mewn blocked it. Knuckles scowled as the device was torn from his hand and landed next to the card reader. Sonic stood up.
"We can't win here. Grab the device and let's go," said Sonic. Knuckles grabbed the device and ran off.
"It appears that even the universal good guys deem me evil and as such I now stand alone!" exclaimed Mewn. Mewn used his powers to reacquire the device and flew off.
Knothole Village: "Whatever it was, it was extremely powerful. It had incredible psychic powers and managed to destroy Robotnik City in less than an hour. We've tried for years and never come close," said Sonic. He and Knuckles were in the infirmary receiving treatment for their wounds.
"Yeah. We saw portions of it and it wasn't pretty. That thing manhandled you like you were mere flies," said Sally.
"There's no doubt it's this so called creature mentioned in the ruins," said Tails.
"Yep," said Sonic.
"Could I have the device back, it needs to be recharged," said Sally. Knuckles handed it to her. Sally looked it over.
"This isn't it. I don't know what it is, but it isn't the laser device," said Sally.
"That creature must have dropped it when I initially hit him," said Sonic.
"Then it must be important to it. Let's see what it does," said Sally. She plugged it into a terminal and it scanned the device.
"An interdimensional transporter/card reader. It creates a vortex that allows travel to other realities and other worlds. Its powercell is dead and I don't recognize any of these parts. It recently was infused with psychic energy to work," said Sally.
"Is there a record of where it has jumped and how many times?" asked Knuckles. Sally typed in some commands, which came back: ACCESS DENIED.
"Yeah but I can't tell without the proper access codes," said Sally. Sonic slammed his hand down on the desk.
"Who cares? It's obvious that thing destroyed that civilization and is going to destroy the world," said Sonic.
"We have this device, clearly the creature will want it back. All we have to do is use it to lure the creature back and trap him like was done so before," said Knuckles.
"Right. Now all we need to do is locate this creature," said Sonic.
"That is the million dollar question. How do you locate a creature with incredible powers that could easily disguise itself?" asked Knuckles.
Bar: The doors burst open as Mewn wandered into a bar full of shady characters. He stood out because he was pure white but he ignored the stares. He scanned the minds of the crowd and walked over to a group of creatures that were playing cards. They looked up at him and pulled up a chair.
"What're you betting for?" asked an armadillo(Arny),
"I'm playing for information," said Mewn. The group laughed.
"Whatever suits you. What'll be your addition to the pot?" asked Gary(a fox). Mewn sat a rectangular object on the table.
"This laser cannon type device. It's not exactly charged, but if you can charge it, it provides an incredible blast," said Mewn. Arny handed it to Techie, a raptor, who looked it over with his large glasses.
"Seems plausible," he said. Arny shrugged.
"Alright you're in," said Arny. Mewn sat down and received his hand. He glanced over it and read the minds of the other players. After a few turns he made them think that they had bad cards so they all folded and he won.
"First question. Who's Sonic," he said. Arny laughed.
"You don't know," he said.
"I'm not from around here," responded Mewn quickly. Arny shrugged.
"Then I guess you've been under a rock for the past several years. Sonic has been attacking Robotnik constantly and the madman went so far as to create a creature called Shadow who's practically a clone of Sonic," said Arny.
"Wh..," began Mewn when Arny cut him off.
"A question a turn. You've got to play more hands to have more answered," said Arny. Mewn scowled but used his powers again on the group causing him to win yet again.
"You're good," said Arny.
"Where does he live?" asked Mewn.
"Underground in Knothole Village," said Arny. Another hand.
"Where's Knothole Village?" asked Mewn.
"Beats me. No one around here knows and it's for the best that way. If we knew than Robotnik would torture us for the answer. Although he probably knows where it is anyway," said Arny. Another hand.
"Who knows where Knothole Village is but isn't currently affiliated with Robotnik?" asked Mewn. Arny thought about that one.
"I suppose Robotnik's old assistant Snively would know. He and Robotnik parted ways a few years ago," said Arny. Another hand.
"Where is Snively?" asked Mewn.
"I don't know. I bet you could find out if you broke into Robotnik City but somehow it blew up. You might still be able to find the records though. They were supposed to be in an impenetrable vault," said Arny. Mewn stood up.
"Thanks," he said before leaving and taking the laser cannon device with him.
"Any time," responded Arny turning back to his game. Mewn walked outside and leapt into the air flying off towards Robotnik City.
Ruins: "I've only learned one other thing from this device. I've learned that a company called Giovanni Incorporated created it. Has anyone heard anything about this company?" asked Sally to the freedom fighters in the ancient ruins. All of them shook their heads. She sighed.
"I was afraid of that. I've been through our records and cannot find a company by that name. Clearly this is the creature that did destroy the people of Pkmops," she said.
"Pkmops?" asked Knuckles. Sally pointed to the six letters on a wall. It read:
P K MOP S.
"It's the name of the ancient city," she said.
"Why are the letters so far apart?" asked Sonic. Sally shrugged. Suddenly an alarm went off.
"Outside," she said. They ran outside to see a streak go flying high above overhead.
"I'm going after him," said Sonic. Sally grabbed him before he took off.
"No. We can't risk him severally injuring him. Let's go back in and prepare a trap," she said. They went back in.
"You have a plan?" asked Rotor. Sally reproduced the transporter.
"I say we lure him back here and hook the transporter up to the ancient transporter that I already discovered earlier. That way we send him back to where he came from," she said. Suddenly a rumbling occurred and a panel moved back. A human male emerged with strange ornamental clothing.
"I say we finish it off once and for all," said the human as the others stared at him in shock.
Snively's house: Mewn touched down and watched with mild interest as two rickety swatbots approached him with blasters drawn.
"Surrender," said one with a crackly voice. Mewn walked over to them and poked them both with his fingers. The two swatbots fell down in a heap. Mewn sighed and walked up to the doors. He raised his hands and blew them open with his psychic powers. He walked inside to a see human in a chair.
"You ever hear about knocking?" asked Snively.
"No," responded Mewn sarcastically.
"Never mind. Come, I've been expecting you," he said. Mewn walked inside and sat down.
Ruins: "Who are you?" demanded Sonic.
"I'm the person who trapped that creature originally. I used to live here back when that creature destroyed my civilization. I put my body into stasis to revive when it returned. It's back and so am I. Its day has ended," said the person.
"Look, I know you're upset, but you or I don't have the right to destroy this creature. It's inhumane," said Sally. The person pointed to an image showing the creature destroying his people.
"What that thing did is inhumane. It killed my people. It even killed my own mother who was defenseless. How do you explain that?" asked the person.
"Look I'm sorry but," began Sally.
"No! Sorry doesn't cut it and if you won't abide by this then you aren't welcome here," said the person. The person lifted up his hand and blasted them all away via some unseen force. They were blasted out of the way and landed with a heap in front of the entrance.
"That person is as powerful as the creature," said Sonic.
"And when they meet," began Knuckles.
"We'll all be in trouble," finished Sally.
Snively's House: "You say you've been expecting me," said Mewn. Snively coughed.
"Yes. I saw your handiwork on Robotnik City. I must say, I am impressed," he said. He pressed a button and a T.V. sprang to life showing the city exploding and Mewn flying away.
"It happens," responded Mewn.
"Yes, but not to anyone. I've formed my own crack team of commandos to fight against Robotnik and the freedom fighters. These agents are consisted of the folks who you met around the card table. I personally put them there to meet you and direct you here. I'd be honored if you joined us," said Snively. Mewn held up his hand.
"I'm not a joiner. I don't want to stay here. I want to go home. Where is Knothole Village?" asked Mewn. Snively sighed.
"Fine. I won't hold you here. You've survived and defeated both Robotnik and The Freedom Fighters. My men won't be able to stop you. Here's a map and here's Knothole Village. I wish that you won't obliterate them because I want the opportunity myself," said Snively handing him a map. Mewn accepted it and walked off.
"Thanks and no promises," he said.
"Be careful," responded Snively. Mewn walked through the broken doors and flew off. He flew through the air towards Knothole Village when he saw the freedom fighters lying in a heap outside an entrance to some ruins. He dove towards them.
"We can't let that creature come here. He and that person will fight to the point of the universe exploding and collapsing. Knuckles and I came close to doing that once and it extremely hurt. These two will succeed where we failed," said Sonic. Mewn landed on the ground and picked up Sonic with his powers.
"Where the device you stole from me?" he demanded. Mewn held out his right arm and began to squeeze his hand giving Sonic a massive headache.
"I'll never tell you," he said defiantly.
"I'll never tell him the device is inside the ruins," he thought. Mewn dropped his arm and Sonic fell to the ground in a heap.
"You've told me all that I need to know," said Mewn. He headed for the ruins.
"But I haven't," Sonic began protesting. Mewn held up his left hand as he walked away from them.
"I can read minds," he said. Mewn disappeared into the shadows.
"I can't let him go in there," began Sonic preparing to take off. Knuckle grabbed a hold of him.
"Wait until we've healed. If we go in there now, we'll just aggravate the situation. We'll be back," said Knuckles. Sonic growled and together he and the freedom fighters walked away from the ruins towards home.
Ruins: Mewn entered a room with a large device at the end of it. His transporter was held in its grasp and Mewn was about to grab it when his hand was forced away from it.
"What the," he began. A person appeared from the shadows with his left arm out raised.
"Hello Mewn. Remember me?" the person asked removing his helmet revealing his face. Mewn gasped.
"It can't be," he said incredulously. The person nodded.
"It is," he said. The 27-year-old male stared back at him.
"John Brown," said Mewn.
