Short chapter is short but full of plot YAAAAY!

The attack came without warning. One moment, we where all asleep in our cave. The next, chaos. An explosion rocked through the entrance to our cave, and I had mew and Jessie behind me in less then a second. Several people I vaguely recognized stepped out of the dust kicked up by the explosion. Amoung them, several members from diffrent factions. I saw a team plasma member, a rocket grunt, a galactic member.. I growled deep on my throat, fur bristling.

"My my looks like the big bad clone has a little family now!"

A man said, still hidden by I knew the voice anywhere. It had haunted my dreams for leader of team rocket walked our of the smoke then, clapping slowly.

"Bravo, mewtwo. You see, I happened I hear about your little...family, but I put no credit into the rumors. But it seems it was true after all eh? All the same. You see, I created you,Mewtwo. And just as easily, I created another of you."

My gut gave a painful twist at his words. Another?...

"I don't care what you throw at me! You won't get them!"

I shouted, curving protectively around my daughter and mate. The man only chuckled.

"You are weak compared to the creation i have now. You see, you have yet to battle one of your own species. "

He tossed a masterball out, and the device opened to reveal a mewtwo. But, it had a green tail, unlike my own.

"Mewtwo, use shadow ball."

I put up a barrier, but the crackling ball of energy blasted through it as if it was nothing. I felt the full force of the thing, and I was sent flying. I heard my head hit the rock wall with a sickening crunch, then nothing.

I awoke restrained by metal cuffs, in a large dark room. A light turned on, and I squinted in the sudden brightness. giovanni stepped up into the light, a menacing grin on his face,

"You are weak, mewtwo. Defiled by nature. This Atleast can be corrected, if you would only obey."

I growled.

"Ill never obey you."

giovanni sighed.

"If you insist, we have...other methods of persuasion."

Two more lights turned on with a loud 'click' for each. What I saw made my heart race. Mew and Jessie where both, like me, strapped to tables. One more, smaller light, turned on between the two, and on it was a array of sickening surgical made his way to the tools, and picked up professionally sharpened scalpel. He slowly walked to Jessie, and held the knife to the toddlers throat. The child had enough sense to not move.

"Now, mewtwo. I shall ask again. Would you like to obey?"

I gulped, and hoped he was bluffing.

"You don't have the balls!"

He laughed, and pushed the knife a little harder, causing a single droplet of blood to fall from the toddlers neck.

"Oh, don't I?"

Jessie looked at me with an expression of fear and defiance, telling me two things at once: to never give in, and to save her.i hung my head.

"Ill do whatever you want...just don't hurt them.."

I said, defeated. The man nodded with a look of triumph, and stepped away. He walked o me, and pointed the knife back at my family.

"You disobey me, and they pay the price of your misdeed. Do you understand,mewtwo?"

I nodded, unable to speak through the lump in my throat.

"Good."

And with that, he walked away, and the lights turned off, leaving us in darkness. As soon as he was gone, I reached out with my mind and contacted both Jessie and mew.

'You didint have to obey, mewtwo.'

Mew said right away.

"Yes, i did. I won't let him hurt you.'

I responded. While me and mew conversed, Jessie watched with the minds eye. She had yet to speak, and so her silence did not concern me. But what did concern me, is that she spoke for the first time in this situation. And that her first word lead on into her first sentence.

'Daddy, why didint you use your powers like at home?'

I was silent for a moment, dumbstruck over the fact that Jessie had spoken. I answered carefully, trying to make sure she understood.

'Because, there is a machine in here that prevents me and your mother, and possibly even you from using those powers. But they cant restrict our thought projection.'

The toddler was silent for a moment, then said simply

'oh.'

We had no way to tell time in the darkness. I counted the days by how meany times they allowed us to eat, but it was only accurate if they fed us three times a day. If they did, then we had been there for two weeks. If they didint, who knows how much time had passed? I could be mounths, or weeks. As time passed, my hopes for escape grew less and less, and eventually where none existent. My only priority was to ensure the safty of my family now,no matter what may happen to me.
