Chapter: 7
Mewtwo's Curse
In the woods near the castle, the Three Guardians and Cynder are now heading towards the castle. But this time, the Pokemon are now back in their true forms. Eariler, they revealed to Cynder that they are actually legendary Pokemon disguised as mortal dragons for over sixteen years. But yet, Cynder is still upset that she can't see that same man ever again. Although the day is almost over, the Three Guardians are still very cautious. Because who knows, Mewtwo could be watching them right now. Soon they entered the castle grounds as they checked the area and motions each other that the coast is clear. Then they reached the door to the castle and went inside. Walking up on stairs and walking through hallways, they soon reached Cynder's prepared room and Mew checked poked her head inside and check if the coast is clear. And not a single life is in the room. "All right, in here, dear" said Mew to Krystal and motions the over to get inside quietly and unnoticed. Behind them, Jirachi closed the door and sighs in relief, glad that they weren't seen. "Lock the door, Jirachi! Celebi, pull the drapes!" said Mew to the others. Jirachi quickly locks the door and Celebi pulls in the curtain drapes. "And now, dear, if you'll just sit here" said Mew to Cynder as she directs her to a chair. Cynder then sadly sits down on the chair. "This is one last gift, dear child for thee, the symbol of thy royalty" said Mew. And using all of their powers together, Mew, Celebi, and Jirachi whirled their hands in the air and a crown magically appears. "A crown to wear in grace and beauty, as is thy right, and royal duty" said Mew as she sets the crown on the black dragoness's head. Then all the sudden, Cynder again breaks down in tears and once again cries. "Now, dear" said Celebi trying to comfort her.
"Come, let her have a few moments alone" said Mew. Then they quietly walked out of the room and Mew closed the door behind her. "It's that dragon she met" said Jirachi while they are outside the room. "Whatever are we going to do?" said Celebi.
Inside the room, as Cynder continues to cry, the room was yet quiet and slightly dark, And with the fire in the fireplace burning, lighting up the room. Then all of the suddenm something ominimus happens. First, there was a ghostly sounds that are faintly heard in the dark. Then all the sudden, the fire goes out, and out of a shadow, Mewtwo shortly appears, but only in a pitch black form. His eyes glows with blue as he watches the princess cry. Then he turns into a ghostly purple ball of light and it seems to pulsate with a glow. Cynder, strangely, seems to stop crying all the sudden and slowly looks up at the ghost ball. Then, her pupils in her eyes turned fully purple as she was now in a spell trance by Mewtwo. She slowly gets up from her chair and her coat falls off, exposing her in a same dress that the Legendary Pokemon made for her. Then she slowly starts walking towards the ghost ball.
Outside the room, the legendaries were unaware what is actually going on in the roon and does not know that Cynder is now in danger. "I don't see why she has to marry any old prince" said Jirachi who is kind of frustrated that the King wants her to marry a prince.
"Now, that's not for us to decide, Jirachi" said Celebi.
Back inside the room, Cynder continues to walk towards the light as it moves towards the fireplace. Then the fireplace's wall suddenly opens, revealing a hidden pathway that leads to somewhere. The ghost ball moves inside as Cynder, while still in a trance, follows it.
"Maybe we should tell King Draco about the young dragon" said Celebi back outside the room.
"Well, why don't we?" said Jirachi. Then Mew starts to hear something faint inside the room. "Shhh, Listen!" said Mew. Then she places her ear on the room's door and listens closely to the ghostly sound. Then she became horrified with wide eyes and said "Mewtwo!". Then they quickly rushed into the room to check on Cynder. But when they got inside, they became horrified when they see Cynder under a spell walking through a hidden pathway in the fireplace's wall. Mewtwo has got her in a trance! "Oh, why did we leave her alone?" said Celebi and they rushed to get Cynder, but the entrance to the hidden pathways suddenly closes on them, blocking them out. "Midnight!" cried out the Pokemon as they tried to get inside. Inside the hidden pathways, Cynder continues to follow the ghost ball as it went upstairs. Cynder slowly walks up the stairs following it. Nothing seems to ever stop her from breaking out of her trance. Cynder then continues to walk towards her doom. Outside the pathways, the legendary Pokemon were now trying to push the wall open, but it was no use. "Wait a minute!" said Mew. They backed away from the wall as Mew used her powers to zap the wall, now showing the pathway. They quickly went in and found multiple pathways. They thought quickly where Cynder might have went through. So they quickly split up and began frantically searching for her. But they didn't find the right way where Krystal went at once. "Midnight, Midnight! Where are you? Midnight!" said the pokemon as they looked for her. Moments later, they regrouped and went up the stairs which is the right one this time. "Midnight!" said the Pokemon as they looked for her frantically as possible.
Soon, Cynder has followed the ghost ball into a room upstairs in the tower. When she got inside, the purple ghost ball turned into a spinning wheel with a spindle on it. Then she reaches her paw out to touch the spindle, but then heard the legendaries yelling. "Midnight! Don't touch anything!" yelled the legendaries. Then somehow, she seems to get out of the trance a bit and pulled her paw back. But Mewtwo's magic was too strong for her to break out of. Then Mewtwo's voice was heard. "Touch the spindle. Touch it I say!" commanded Mewtwo's voice. And in a flash of light, Cynder touches the spindle with her paw. And right at this moment, the legendaries have just entered the room and gasped in horror. Because standing right there in front of them...is Mewtwo himself. And where is Cynder? "You poor simple fools. Thinking you could defeat me. Me! The master of all evil! Well, here's your precious princess" said Mewtwo and moved aside, revealing Cynder laying face-down on the floor, looking lifeless. Mew and the others gasped at the sight of Cynder as Mewtwo disappears laughing evily, knowing he had succeded. The pokemon rushed over to Cynder's body and were completely broken. "Midnight!" cried Mew.
"Oh Midnight! Oh, I'll never forgive myself" cried Celebi.
"We're all to blame!" cried Mew. Then they began to cry over Cynder's motionless body as the sun finally sets over the horizon. Yet, they were so close to saving Cynder's life. Yet they have failed to do so.
