Finally, back with another story, one that I have been wanting to work on for a long time now. It is the first arc of my own universe I created known as the Soldatenverse. On my profile, I will have on there what the universe is about, but this is the origin story for the team I created. Hope you guys enjoy!

Prologue

The island stood quietly amongst the waters, beautiful in sight. The palm trees, with large green leaves, swayed slightly in the breeze, and the bushes hid many creatures from view. There were many cliffs that stood over the waters, with waves crashing against the walls. If anyone stood there, they could overlook the beach for any signs of invaders or visitors. The beach itself was covered in seashells, the sand very light brown where it was dry and dark brown and mushy where it was wet. Not many people went to the island, and even more did not know it existed. As the clouds covered the dim lit moon, a shadow overcasted the island, enshrouding it from view completely.

From a glance, it was a beautiful island, but not unlike any other in the sea. However, one did not see the surface value of it...

A figure, shrouded in a brown cloak, stepped on the sand as the waves crashed against his feet. With his hood over his head, his purple eyes were the only distinguished features one could see. He looked around calmly, and he took in the peaceful picture of the island. However, as he felt the air around him, he felt anything but peace. There was a sense of foreboding, his body tensed, and his mind was on alert. Something...was amiss and, what he looked for, it was here. Slowly, he walked forward, and closed his eyes. He tried to reach out with his mind to find any source of life. He felt it, many of it; however, in that same feeling, he felt nothing.

His eyes narrowed, but he did not rush in. Something was amiss, and he knew he needed to be on his guard, but he also knew rushing in could be a fatal mistake. Quietly, he stepped toward the greenery; his mind reached out to every corner of the island in some vain hope that there was a simple fluke with his power. A brief glitch due to a hidden concern for his missing friend. One he swore to protect along with others from the hands of abusive and greedy people. It was the only reason he left his sanctuary and left others unprotected.

He had to hurry quickly.

As he walked through the jungle, pushing away the branches and leaves that were in his way, he listened. Strangely enough, there was no sound. The foreboding feeling increased with every passing second. He tried to reach out more, but he was met with the same thing: sensed many yet also none. Suddenly, he finally caught a sound...a rustling from a bush nearby. Calmly, he turned to face it, but he did not move forward. He watched the bush with wariness, his body more tensed than it was before. Suddenly, in great speed, whatever was in the bushes dashed away through the jungle. His eyes flickered to catch sight of it, but the vegetation concealed its appearance. He wasted no time and decided to follow it. He had no other lead, and he felt whatever was hiding could lead him to his answers. His speed was so quick, he seemed to be a blur within his surroundings.

Whatever he faced, however, seemed just as quick. It moved further ahead of him, and that was when he heard it. A growl...no...it sounded...monstrous...something he never heard before. Then, there was a moan. Immediately, he stopped and scanned the area for any sign of life or SOMETHING. To his disappointment, he still did not spot anything; there was, however, more movement. The disturbing feeling grew more, while he began to raise his hands slowly, as a safety measure. Suddenly, vines rushed out, but his hands glow blue and stopped them in their tracks. More vines shot out from behind him, but he sensed them in time and stopped them once more.

He could not feel who was attacking him, but the inhumane growls and moans echoed louder. His eyes narrowed more, before he leaped into the air. It was just in time, as more vines had come from the vegetation. He looked around from above, but he could see nothing through the large leaves of the trees. Confusion began to blossom inside him. Where was this...this creature? How could it hide itself from his mind? He did not understand. At the same time, he remained focused and halted more attacks that came his way. Suddenly, out of nowhere, there was a roaring sound. He hastily turned around to find the source but, the moment he did, all he could see was a burst of explosion before his violet eyes.

His teeth gritted his teeth, and he fell from the sky. His brown cloak burned from the spark within the explosion. Hastily, he pulled it off, just as he landed on the ground on bended knee, his head lowered. His form was now visible for anyone—if there was someone on the island—to see. He was tall, humanoid, with features that were more feline. His body was mostly grey, with two small blunt horns on top of his head. His chest and shoulders were defined, giving the impression of a breastplate. His three fingers on his hands were more like spheres, as were his feet. Finally, there was a tube that extended from the back of his skull to the top of his spine, bypassing his neck completely, while his tail was long and purple. Slowly, he raised his head to look around, and he noticed he was in the jungle once more.

There was a distinct smell in the air, and there seemed to be a haze around him. Immediately, he recognized what it was, and he quickly held his breath. He leaped back into the air to escape the hazy area. He scanned the area from above, and he noticed that it covered a good portion of the jungle. He never saw a haze that strong from an attack as this, nor had he seen it stay in the air for so long. Quickly, he turned his head to make sure there was not another explosion nearby. If he was only unsure before or questioning it, there was no mistaking now. Something was CLEARLY wrong with the island, and his friend was in more danger than he realized. He turned and flew away from the area. Abruptly, he felt a tingling run through his body before he felt relaxed, his breathing heavier. His eyes widened in realization, and he fought against the feeling while he kept moving. The haze was taking effect...and it felt more powerful than any other he came across.

Before he could try to comprehend why this was happening, he heard another growl. He looked down in enough time to see water rush toward him in a fast rate. From a glimpse, he could see that the water appeared tainted, almost sewage like. Quickly, he held his hands before him to form a barrier, but his body trembled from the numb feeling that flourished within him. The rush of water smashed into him and sent him back further into the jungle, and he hit the ground this time. He gritted his teeth as he tried to stand, but he could barely move now. His mind tried to focus on the task at hand, to command his body to move against the effects, but it was futile. Then, he heard it. Footsteps. Someone was walking his way and, this time, he could sense his presence. How could he miss this before? He turned his head to face this new presence, but then came one other surprise. On his sides, two machines popped out of the ground-one red and one blue-with a sphere like eye in the middle, glowing brightly. A strange, electrical stream rushed out and him, causing him to grimace in pain, yet he did not scream. A blue sphere formed around him, and he managed to raise one hand, only for him to feel the barrier around him.

He was now trapped. At that moment, he realized...the kidnapping, this island, no doubt the attacks, were all a trap. The sphere lifted into the air slightly, while he pressed his hands against the barrier in hopes he could break through. He focused on his powers, but even thinking about it brought a weight on him. After moments passing, the sphere began to turn red, and an electrical field surrounded him. He suddenly felt his limbs stretch out around him, pinning him in place, before an excruciating pain rushed through him. It was unlike anything he felt before, nor was he prepared. His eyes widened and he released a cry of pain. He struggled against it while he fought to keep himself from screaming again. It could not end like this...he was NOT going to be used again…

The footsteps were louder, and he fought harder to escape his imprisonment. However, the pain was too much. Moving became too much. When he heard a chuckle in front of him, he managed to look up, and he faced a man dressed in dark clothes with a pair of sunglasses upon his face. "...Who…?" He managed to say.

"Well now, he said you were most powerful...you certainly displayed impressive power, but I am disappointed that you allowed yourself to be tricked so quickly and defeated so easily." He said calmly. A small smirk etched his face, and it was then he noticed this man's eyes...did they glow red for a moment behind his sunglasses? "Hmph. No matter, I can test your abilities more now that I have you...MEWTWO."

"How..do you know me?" Mewtwo asked, his eyes narrowed at his captor. And this person he mentioned...could it be…?

"In time, all in due time. For now…"

Suddenly, the pain intensified, and he screamed loudly, echoing in the area around him...
