Julie was walking down the corridors when she saw the men come to a part of the wall and it opened up to reveal a door that they walked in. Julie rushed fast as the door slowly closed. It closed tight behind her and the men were still walking ahead.
Secret mazes, strange men with knocked out girls; it's like something out of a spy thriller or something...
Julie noticed some empty cells as she walked along, large rooms for holding something.
Is this a lab or a prison complex? Julie asked herself as she walked down the hall way.
Well I think I'm about to find out…

Scottsdale was standing in the observation booth of cell M-150. A com-link beeped.
"Doctor Scottsdale."
"Well?"
"The formulas from Hoenn have arrived but we lost contact with Shrieker."
Well at least the formulas arrived.
"Are they viable?"
"They appear to be in normal stasis."
"Good. Bring them in."
"Affirmative." The com-link clicked off.
He clicked on the other frequency. "Scottsdale here, prepare the subjects for injection."
"Yes sir."
He looked to the Mewtwo meditating in the cell.
"Good evening, friend." He said to it. It opened its eyes and looked at him with its normal fierce glare.
"Any evening with you was anything but 'good' and I already said I'm not friends with scum."
The Psychic voice retorted.
"You have displayed your powers far more efficiently than the others in this project, which probably comes from studying this all your life. I bet your departed father would have been proud…as if having a freak of nature for a son is anything to be proud of, let alone one that became the very thing that led to his undoing."
"My father died doing what he felt was right, you leave him out of this!" Jonathan growled at him.
"I find it interesting that you chose to research the very Pokemon that murdered your father, was it sort of a "know thy enemy" complex, or was it trying to live in your father's shadow?" Scottsdale mused.
"What I did with my life was MY business…then you came and ruined everything…"
Scottsdale smiled. "Tragic irony or poetic justice?"
"I'd hate to see what you call 'Justice'…"
Scottsdale started walking to the side." You know that was quite some demonstration you pulled off earlier." He made a gesture toward the door and it opened up.
"What was really astounding to me was the final image you beamed before we cut you off."
"What…"
"One of a girl, an old colleague perhaps?" he smiled.
Jonathan was thinking about then had a look of realization. He glared at him. "If you lay one finger on her…"
"You'll do what? Well tonight we'll find out."
"What? What did you-?!"
Scottsdale gestured the grunts to come in and they had a sleeping Emily in their arms. They placed her in a good view of the window so the Mewtwo could see her clearly. Scottsdale smiled as he pulled out a Dossier.
"Hmm, it says you and Ms Masterson here worked together on Research and development while also doing the Mewtwo project on the side. It must have been difficult managing between your work and her, or maybe it wasn't, maybe you chose your work over her."
"Leave her out of this. She has nothing to do with this!" Jonathan glared at him.
"Oh but she'll soon be, my friend, she'll soon be…" Scottsdale smiled sinisterly as he pulled out a pink vial.
"Oh no…"
"Yes that's right Jonathan," he looked to Emily then to the vial. "You'll be happy to know that this was synthesized from the same fossil that made you what you are today…"
"Leave her alone! I'll do anything, just don't touch her!"
Scottsdale smiled as he watched the psychic activity on the scanners heighten.
"Hmmm, I never thought you were one for begging." Scottsdale rolled up Emily's sleeve and brought a syringe to the vial. He extracted some of the pink fluid into the vial.
"Think of it this way, if the screams of her mind slipping away don't haunt you, the fact that you we're partly responsible might." He jabbed the fluid into Emily while Jonathan cried out for her.
"NOOO! YOU BASTARD! YOU-!"
The sensors began to go off the charts, the glass started to rumble. Scottsdale finished pushing the substance into her and she was beginning to stir. Her eyes were fluttering and she finally opened them.
"...Jonathan?" She asked weakly. She looked around.
"Emily!" The Mewtwo cried out. She looked to him with confusion. "Jonathan?"
"Emily I'm sorry. I-." He began.
"Jonathan? Is that really you? What's going on he-."
She turned and saw Scottsdale. "Dr. Scottsdale?!"
Scottsdale smiled. "Hmm you still remember me. However there's a slight chance you won't be able to anymore after the change."
"Change?! What change?! How is that Mewtwo Jonathan?! What did you do?!" Emily shook in the arms of the Gale grunts.
"Why don't you two catch up?" Scottsdale grinned and gestured the guards to move her.
"Grr Let me go! Jonathan! Jonathan!" She reached for the Mewtwo.
"Emily!"
They took her out the room.
Scottsdale turned to the observation deck where he saw them push Emily in and strapped her to a second table that came out of the floor. The psychic barriers were turned to maximum so Jonathan wouldn't interfere in the process. He was doubling over in pain from the repellence while Emily called out to him. The grunts left the two alone and Scottsdale grinned and turned on the PA. "I suggest you make it brief. You have exactly 5 minutes to tell her how you feel before the end." He clicked it off and began to walk out the room.
"Prepare the other vials."
"Yes doctor."

Julie was hiding in the corner when she heard a voice in her head shouting in anguish.
"NOOO! YOU BASTARD! You-."
Yikes! Who said that? Julie took a step back. This is one crazy place. What does Dr. Scottsdale DO around here?
The door opened and she saw the girl awake now and kicking and screaming at the men holding her.
"Jonathan! Grrr, you guys better let me go! Scottsdale! What the hell did you do?! Scottsdale!" Julie saw hat her arm was bleeding slightly. Whoa! She needs help. Julie was getting up when they disappeared behind another door that was in the wall. Later Scottsdale came out from the first one and talked to another scientist.
"Prepare the other Vials."
"Yes Doctor." The scientist went in another direction while Scottsdale went another way. Julie noticed the hallway of cells and decided to trail him.
It just gets creepier and creepier…

I was sleeping in my cell when I heard Jonathan cry out in anger.
"Emily! NOOO! YOU BASTARD!"
I jolted up and realized the awful truth.
Scottsdale got to someone important to Jonathan. I felt some anger boiling deep inside me. That bastard, preying on the loved ones of those who already lost so much, how much lower can he get?
I honestly don't want to know that answer.
I could just imagine how sad and how angry I would be if Scottsdale got to my mom, my real mom.
I'd probably loose my self for good if that happened…
I shuddered at the thought.
I wonder how much more people must be hurt before this madman is finished…

Scottsdale was in the other room when the grunts with bandages and slings came in holding a young girl and a young man in their arms.
"Hmm, Two? This will be interesting. I know which ones to pick."
"Yeah, well we're watching no matter what. We went through a lot of trouble just to get them to you, thanks to that punk." One grunt muttered.
"Strap them in then." Scottsdale said as he pulled out a blue vial and a red vial..
"Well I'm not waiting!" the grunt said as he swiped a vial out of Scottsdale hands hand immediately jabbed it in the arm of the boy. His eyes immediately opened and kicked himself free of the grunt's grasp. He looked around and saw Melody in the arms of the other one and rushed for her.
"Now look what you've done!" Scottsdale growled at the grunt and tried to get in between the boy and the girl.
Ryan took a swing and punched Scottsdale right in the jaw. Scottsdale felt blood rush in his mouth and spitted out a lose tooth. He grabbed the needle that was still in Ryan's arm and pushed the substance in. Other scientists came in and grabbed Ryan more grunts came in and pushed him against the table as the other tried to strapped him in. Ryan was defiant, screaming and yelling at them
"GRRR. LET MELODY AND ME GO OR YOU'LL BE SORRY!" Scottsdale gave the order while holding on to his jaw and the other scientist stuck the red syringe into Melody and injected.
"HEY! WHAT WAS THAT STUFF YOU FILLED HER WITH! GRRR!MELODY! MELODY!"
Her eyes began to stir. "Uhhh… Ryan?"
"Melody!"
Scottsdale looked to the watch. "Let them be, they don't have long." He growled and the grunts pulled out weapons on the boy and girl as they made their way to the exit holding Scottsdale with his bleeding mouth.
Scottsdale thought he saw a brief flicker of movement in the observation deck…

Julie saw the boy punch Scottsdale in the face while he attempted to inject something into him. She silently cheered when she saw Scottsdale spit out a tooth. Yeah! Teach that crook something!
She saw them inject another substance into the younger girl and was shocked when she saw them pull out weapons to keep them form escaping.
This is a mad house! I must tell the outside world about all these kidnapping Scottsdale is doing..
She was wondering what he injected those kids with when she saw the girl fall to her knees and clutch her stomach and began to scream.
Oh no, what is happening?!
Julie sat and failed to see the door opening behind her…
-0-
"Ryan? Are you ok?"
Ryan growled as the grunts closed the door and left them in there/ He shook his fist.
I was just getting started.
Melody was walking to him when she felt a sharp pain hit her stomach. She cried out and fell to her knees, pain beginning to envelope her.
"AHH!Ahhgh! My Stomach! It-it hurts!" She cried out.
"Melody?! Melody!" Ryan began to dash for her when he feel a pain shoot through his body.
What the-?! What did that psycho pump us with!?
Ryan gritted his teeth as he tried to endure the pain and he bit his lip, so hard that Melody noticed a small trickle of blood beginning to flow.

"Jonathan? What is going to happen?" Emily asked.
Jonathan looked down. "I can't believe he dragged you into this…"
"What? What is it?"
"Awhile back he showed me this kid, he was transformed…with some virus that Scottsdale got a hold of…into a Lugia. It was sick I tell you…He got me…and now," He looked up at her.
"He's got you too."
Emily smiled. "Well, at least I'm here with you. There's no one else I'd like to be stuck in a Vulpix-hole than with you."
He smiled whit is eyes.
Emily felt all funny, sort of cold.
"Jonathan, there's something I always wanted to tell you."
He looked up at her. "Hm?"
She felt like there where Butterfree in her stomach, except it actually felt like that.
Go, on just say it…Emily assured herself.
"Jonathan I-."
Her words were lost in a scream when a sharp pain hit her. She brought her head down hard as an unbelievable pain struck her down to her very core.
"Emily!" Jonathan cried out.

Ryan heard Melody screaming and she fell to her knees, clutching her sides. He then watched as her shirt tore as two extensions grew at the top of her shoulders, hard and stiff and ridged, the color of her skin. They continued to extend when they looked like two stiff wings. What's happening to her?!
Melody moved a trembling hand to her new stiff wings when she screamed again. She clutched her head as her ears began to grow more pointy and moved to the top of her head, her strawberry red hair begging to fall off in strands. Tears were flowing in her blue eyes as she brought handfuls of loose hair before her eyes. She cried out again and fell forward on her stomach. Ryan watched in horror as her legs seemed to be slowly shriveling up before his eyes, growing shorter and shrinking into her body. Melody looked to him with tearful eyes. She could feel the bones in her legs fading away as they shrunk. A splotch of red formed in her forehead and the rest of her face began to turn a bright silver-white. The last strands of hair fell of her head and left her bald with her ears looking like horns or something. The silver continued down her neck in a wave and spread to her arms while her legs became red and her hands as well.. Soon she was red with white allover her body and her face and neck was white with red in her forehead. She was crying the whole way.
Ryan took a step toward her when a sharp pain hit him. He fell to his side and brought his had to his face. He watched as the back of it turned a dark blue and the inner part turned a dark gray. He watched as his fingers began to shrink into the pads of his hand and his nails sprouted claws. His fingers disappeared into his hand with only short claws sticking out. He watched as his legs began to shrivel back in his body and felt a huge pressure on his chest when his clothes began to feel tight on him. His chest swelled and tore through his shirt and jacket as his torso increased in size, the last vestiges of his skin being swallowed by the assaulting wave of blue. His arms began to grow thin and his hands began to grow longer and larger becoming a sort of short arms for his new body. He felt the shoulder bones grinding as they churned out two new wing-like extensions. His pants were destroyed when his body swelled up and he watched as his legs disappeared in his body leaving stubby spikes that looked like tail feathers of some sort.
Melody's splotch on her forehead began to travel down her nose and the back of her head, a circle of white forming in the spot it vacated, it was sort of like living paint. Her hands shriveled up and became these red pads with little claws for fingers. He legs disappeared completely and her body began to swell up like a balloon, her clothes being totally destroyed and tattered as it did. She feebly used her arms to try and keep some of the scraps up to cover her body, but it was a futile effort. She screamed again when her neck began to stretch longer and longer and her nose snapped and the leftover skin began to meld with her mouth and her head changed shape and became more pointy and narrow. A blue triangle design appeared in her chest and her blue eyes became a gold color and the change was complete.
Melody was a Latias.
Ryan stared in shock and awe at what happened to Melody and felt his own neck stretch out ward, becoming gray and smoother than a rubber ball. His black hair began to fall off in clumps and his ears moved to the top of his head, pushing his hat off and becoming gray and pointed. Blue formed on his head and traveled down his nose and left a gray circle around his forehead. He cried out when his nose snapped and melted into his face, his skull shattering and the fragments realigning themselves into a new head shape. A red triangle design appeared on his chest and his amber eyes lightened to a red shade. The transformation was over and Ryan had just become a Latios. The newly formed Latios and Latias wobbled for few moments before collapsing on the ground…

Julie stared in shock at the passed out pokemon before her that were moments ago a pair of children. Scottsdale is sick! I gotta get out of here!
She turned around fast and froze when she saw Scottsdale standing there with a look on his face as if saying "bad girl". He shook his head and waved a finger.
"Ms Phillips, I think you will find that this was most unadvisable." He pulled out a vial.

Emily screamed as she felt her spine pushing out and she felt the straps on the table loosen and she fell forward and curled into a fetal position.
"Emily!" Jonathan cried out.
She felt her panties rip as a whip like tail pushed out her backside and out her pants. Light down-like pink fur began to spread all over her body, from her nose to the tip of her new tail that was whipping through the air. Her nose and mouth melded together to become a delicate muzzle, almost giving the impression that she had no mouth because it was directly under her muzzle.
Her blond hair turned a light pink like the rest of her body and began to fuse with her head, the hair shrinking shorter and shorter until it was a part of her head. Her ears moved to the side of her head and beneath her closed eyelids her blue eyes became even bigger and almost dominated her face.
Her internal organs squelched when she began to shrink, her arms becoming shorter and short, and her hand and arm becoming one as her hand shrunk into tiny digits as her arm became her hand. Her legs began to fold in on themselves and become shorter, her toes melding until they became her new paws and stretch themselves, tearing through her shoes. She shrunk and her clothes began to billow around her and the change was complete.
Inside the tattered clothing slept a Mew curled in a fetal position.
"Emily! Emily, say something!"
The doors opened and the grunts came in and picked up the small mew in their arms and left the angry Mewtwo alone in the room. Jonathan bent his head down in defeat and noticed something on the floor.
It was a small metal pendant that Emily wore. Using his Psychic powers he brought the Pendent to his eye level and stared at it.
I remember, when I gave this to you…
He closed his eyes and began to tremble with anger, then with sadness and He released a psychic wail that all could hear.
-0-
Julie heard a sad wail in the back of her mind. Scottsdale looked around and heard it to.
"Hm, Jonathan's friend must be finished." He looked to Julie. "And unfortunately, so are you." Julie took a step back.
"Stay back you maniac! What did you do to those kids, to that woman your goons brought in? Is this what you do?"
Scottsdale looked down and sighed. "And you were just barely coming along too, oh well.." He shrugged and gave her a sinister glare. "I'm sure you'll excel in this project as a part of it than as an observer."
Julie backed up some more. "Just stay-stay back!" I'm warning you!"
"We can make this easy or hard, which ever way you choose." Scottsdale said as he took another step.
Julie pushed a chair at Scottsdale and pinned him to the wall. She then ran for the exit and jogged down the hallway. I got to get out of here! I got to escape that maniac!
She ran into a series of hallways, trying desperately to find the door she came from, but she was in such a state of panic that she forgot entirely.
Let's try this one!
She came into an open room and narrowly missed an electric bolt that scorched the wall behind her. She heard a fierce bellow and looked up and saw a Zapdos chained up. She realized that it must be another of Scottsdale's victims, but what scared her more was that you couldn't tell this bird was once human, it leapt at her but was held back by the restraints. She gasped and went the other way and into another cell, this one had a sad Suicune that looked at her and stepped back in fear. Are all these pokemon humans? Scottsdale you sick bastard!
She came to another one farther down the hallway and saw the cell with a Mewtwo moping over a pendant and she knew she was getting closer to where she started . She ran through another open space and stopped when she saw a large Lugia curled up and in chains. She was taken at first by the marvel of this creature, then came to the sick reality that this pokemon was once human too. I gotta get out of here! I gotta-
She felt a jab in her back and felt a deep cold running through her system and she turned in shock as Scottsdale grabbed her and pushed her in the adjacent room with an open cell.
"Familiar with the place now? Get used to it because you're going to be here for a very long time." Scottsdale said as he slammed the door. Tears ran down Julie's face.
"Why? Why! Why-ack!" She felt a great chill envelope her then a burning sensation burned through her entire body.
Her hands began to get longer and thinner as her fingers stetched out and became sharp and narrow, like the bone structure of wings. Her nose and mouth began to blend together and she painfully felt them harden and push out to become a curved beak. Her brown hair began to shoot back into her head and left her bald for a brief moment, then she roughly felt three blue crest grow out of her bald head.
Her shoes began to tear as three sharp claws came out and her pale feet began to grow a grayish-blue shade. Her blouse/skirt began to pile up in the back and a huge lump was developing back there and soon it tore and a long carpet of blue grew out her backside, becoming marvelous tail feathers. Her skin burned and itched as light-blue feathers puffed out of her chest and pushed her tattered shirt away and her already destroyed lab coat fell off. A wave of blue began to spread through her body and over her body, her long arms sprouted feathers and soon her arms began to look more like wings. Her neck became a part of her head and her blue eyes turned red and her body adjusted in shape just a bit and the change was complete.
The Articuno cried out to the sky and fell forward as it slipped into unconsciousness…the tattered clothing falling in a pile.

I opened my eyes when I heard a noise and saw a woman walk in, panting as if she had been running for a while. I saw the look of awe in her face and knew that she probably never saw me before. I sure don't remember her among the observers in the past few days.
My eyes widened when I saw Scottsdale appear behind her and stick a blue needle in her and pushed the fluid into her system. I cried out when Scottsdale pushed her into the room next to mine and I heard her screams of pain and agony. I heard her screams become bird-like cries then I heard nothing more when she stopped. I tried to listen hard to see if any of her remained among the cries, but it was difficult to be sure…
I felt like a scared little boy in a harsh situation.
Wait…I was.
Mom, I think things just became a bit more hopeless than ever…

A/N: Annd there! Whew, not one, not two, not even three but four transformations in a single chapter.(Quarantine's Decimation proclamation still holds the record of having the most described transformation scenes in my stories though. XP) I hope a lot of you didn't get worn out reading all those. I think it was all just a result of the build up I was creating in the previous chapters, and the rising action from all those came crashing down on the readers like a wave. (I hope) Well project legends numbers just increased to let me count….7 residents. I always planed for Julie to become an Articuno, because part of her inspiration came from a story about an Articuno hybrid named Julie. Melody became a Latias as requested by Snowfeather-Dawnsky-Barkpelt and Ryan became a Latios as Swack16 requested. It will be interesting to see where their sort of unofficial big brother/sister thing goes to now that they are the sibling legendaries of the group. Writing the transformation into the Latios/Latias legendaries took me back to reading Shadowlugia249's "Unsung Heroes" fic and that was kind of satisfying to me that I'd be doing one of my own. The transformation into Mew made by Emily also took me back to another fic by Serpent Magick called "A dark time" in which a character is transformed into a mew. Heck, I even reused the "fetal position" thing for Emily. When writing the confrontation between Scottsdale and Jonathan, I remember Nalthren mentioning to me that Jonathan's father was a part of the New island team that was researching the first Mewtwo and I thought it would be just low for Scottsdale to rub in Jonathan's face that he is, essentially, the same thing that wiped out his father. Also as sort of an obligation to Swack16, I finally had one of his characters punch the villain in the jaw. (That was for all the readers who wanted to do that.) Well, please review and have a merry Christmas and a Happy new year! MEE-YAA!
