Shattered Reality-Prologue

"Daedalus, I don't know how much longer we can keep hiding. They've sent the commandos after us. They're going to find us. But we must hold out a little bit longer. I only need a few more hours to complete X-51. Soon it will be completed. Then we can expose them. Then we can take them down…"

" That is highly improbable. I can keep this location secret for only 1 more hour. That is all. Even with X-51, we would not survive. We must hide X-51, that is what they are after."

"Yes, you're right old friend. Just trying to be optimistic. We won't make it through this one." But then a thought came to the old scientist's worn out mind. "Or at least I won't. No matter which way you slice this one, I'm done for. But it doesn't matter. I've almost achieved my life's work." He paused to gaze at X-51, still only 90% complete. Then he continued. "You can still complete it. All my logs are recorded in your systems. But not yet. We're going to have to hide it somehow."

" Yes. That is the only way. But there is no apparent way to do so. And the cameras are picking up commandos coming this way. "

"What we do is let it go. With a few modifications it can pass for a human. Later when the last of it's systems are completed, you can integrate them."

" There is no time. If this is what we are going to do, then we must release it now. The commandos just found our front door. "

Then release it. And activate the defenses. That will buy it some time."

" Done. I will get going. If they find an advanced artificial intelligence on your supercomputer, I will be reprogrammed and the mission will fail. Goodbye, father."

"Open up! We know you are in there doctor! Surrender X-51 or face termination!"

"Damn. MJ12 must really want it. Computer! Activate the escape pod for X-51 now! And deploy the bots!"

"Subject not complying. Terminating now."

With that the commandos burst in, guns blazing. The doctor never stood a chance. With blood running down his face, he used his dying breath to plot a course for the pod.

"Course set for Pallet. Let's see you get my life's work now. AHHHHHHHHHHHH…………"

"AHHHHHHHHH!" Ash Ketchum awoke, the remnants of his dream fresh in his mind. "Man, that was a BAD dream. Knew I shouldn't have eaten those pork rinds. But someone was talking to me between the people talking. Weird. Probably just jitters from entering the Johto league. Well I better get back to sleep." He closed his eyes and drifted into unconsciousness. But unknown to him, someone, or something was watching him.

" Subject acquired. I'll have to keep my eye on him. Soon I will make my move. Soon. . ."
