Seth was
the first to wake up. He was lying in a bed, and it looked strangely
familiar...Wait...It was his old room!
Seth jumped up and ran
out the door. Though it had been so long ago, he knew dimly where
everything was, and soon it came back to him.
He turned a corner to find where the once open lab had been, a large metal door now stood with a control pad. Seth cursed under his breath. There had to be another way in!
"Lost, little boy? Shouldn't you be on the other side of that door, with your 'friends?' " Said a cold and mocking voice behind him. Seth swung around. It was a Magma, and he was staring at Seth keenly.
"What's the code?" Seth said.
"And why should I tell you?"
"Because I SAID SO!!" Seth said, punching him in the stomach. The Magma stood up again.
"Ah, you must be the boss's son, then. The code's 2268742."
Seth turned around again as the Magma walked off, still cursing. He punched in the code and the door slowly opened.
Seth slipped through into the Lab. This he remembered better, since he had spent most of his time here. He glanced around. Then he spotted Kip and Lily. They were both in cages, and both were still unconscious. Gaby, however, was no-where in sight.
He tried to run over to run over to his two friends, but a voice called after him. Seth stopped abruptly at the sound of his father's voice.
"Trying to save your friends? How brave of you, Seth. You've grown a lot." Seth turned around slowly. He didn't notice that the place was empty of all scientists.
"Feh (I'm sorry, all manga/anime people say that). Don't talk like you know me."
"Seth..."
"Let them go."
"What? You of all people expect me to do that? Son, this is my life's work. I'm not going to give it up."
"Stop calling me son! I hate you! You're not my father!"
Dr. Sakio looked shocked at hearing it said aloud. He had feared this would happen. He sighed.
"Well, then, just get back to your room, unless you'd like to join your friends in there."
"No," Seth said plainly.
"What? Get back to your room like a good little boy."
"NO!! I WILL NOT BE CONTROLLED BY YOU!" Seth shouted.
Seth's shout had roused Kip and Lily. The sat up, looked at each other, then realized what was going on. Dr. Sakio looked over Seth's shoulder at them.
"Ah, you're awake. Now we can move you and begin the testing. Gaby's already in the big machine, so I guess you'll have to wait for you turn, 002. Kip, or should I say my going-to-be 006, we need to run a few tests so..."
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING WITH GABY?!?!?!" Kip said, jumping up. Lily followed his example.
"She's in the big machine. Why?"
"What IS the big machine?!" Lily yelled at Dr. Sakio.
"Would you like to see it? My dear departed master Giovanni left this whole place to me, including the wonderful equipment."
"Giovanni? You mean the old mastermind behind Team Rocket?" Kip asked, forgetting about the machine for the moment. Dr. Sakio nodded.
"Why of course! He was my master...And my wonderful creator!"
"Creator...?" Lily said, her eyes getting big in sudden realization. "That means..."
"Yes, I am a Pokémorph. A Mewtwo, to be exact."
"But...You don't look..." Kip said.
"Hmm? Ah, that would be because of these..." Sakio said. He reached onto his jacket and hit a button. Immediately a lavender tail and Mewtwo feet appeared. Everyone stared.
"Why didn't you ever tell me?" Seth said, looking at his father.
"I was afraid you'd hate me, Seth. Don't you see? All I want is to be friends with you, Seth! I don't want you to hate me!" Seth looked for a second like he was going to forgive his father. His eyes glazed over...
Wait, why would his eyes glaze over? Kip thought. Then it clicked.
"Hey! You! Stop tricking him! Using Psychic powers doesn't count!" Kip yelled. Seth was starting to go into a trance.
"Seth!! Snap out of it!!!" Lily yelled, trying to bring Seth back.
"Silence, 002!" Sakio said, pressing a button on a table. Lily fell down and cried out in pain. Kip realized she had a silver collar around her neck, the same kind the executive had tried to put on Gaby. Then he realized he had on too.
Seth's eyes suddenly came back into focus at the sound of Lily's scream. He shook his head, then glared at his father."Damn you! Damn you and you lies! Leave her alone!!!!" And he charged at Sakio. His father turned around just in time and used Telekinesis to put Seth in a chair and hold him there.
"I think we should all see our friend 001 now. She'll be in the big machine for a couple more days. Let's just hope she responds to it as well as the other tests and doesn't die of neural shock."
Sakio pressed a button on a control panel, then typed in a code. There was a clicking sound. Then part of the wall started to rotated. When it turned all the way around, everyone was shocked at what they saw.
On the other side of the wall there had been a HUGE test tube. It stretched from the floor to the ceiling, and was filled with a dark but translucent green liquid. And inside...
"Gaby!" Kip yelled as he saw the person inside the tank.
Yes, Gaby. She was floating in the middle, curled up in a loose ball. Hundreds of wires were attached to her. Here eyes were half open, and they were completely blank(I mean COMPLETELY. Just white).
"G-Gaby..." Lily stuttered, shocked.
"How could you, you heartless bastard!" Seth said, glaring at his father. It was useless to try and attack him; he would just get thrown back again.
"How could I what? You wish to interfere with my science?"
"Let her go, Sakio."
Everyone turned to Kip. He was standing in his cage, glaring at Dr. Sakio.
"You've got guts, kid, trying to stand up to me. Hmm..." And suddenly Kip was outside his cage, facing Dr. Sakio.
"Let's see how far your will goes, Kip. Come at me."
Kip charged at Sakio, not care about what might happen to hi. Dr. Sakio threw out his hand and blasted Kip into the wall. Kip got up again and charged. Dr. Sakio repeated his attack, and once again Kip got up. The third time Kip charged, Dr. Sakio put up a blue energy bubble and Kip bounced off. He got up again and attacked. He was bloody and bruised, but he didn't care. He was in a blind fury.
"Stop, Kip!" Seth shouted.
"You'll be killed if you keep attacking him!!" Lily yelled.
"I don't care!!!!" Kip said, bouncing off the shield again. Dr. Sakio was laughing at Kip's attempts to reach him.
"How cute; The boy comes to the girl's rescue. You're mind is as easy to read as an open book with big print. You're very angry that I would do this to your girlfriend, and you want to kill me for doing something like this? How noble." He stopped Kip in the air with one hand. "But stupid." He slammed him against the ground, then threw him up again, making him hit the ceiling. "But, isn't that always the case? There's one good guy," He threw Kip down again, "Who always seems," He threw him up again, "To get in the way," He threw him down again, "Of the bad guy!" He slammed him against the wall, next to Seth. His was bleeding freely now. But to everyone's shock, he got up again. He stood up straight and faced Dr. Sakio.
"Isn't it always," He took a step towards him, "the good guy," He took another shaky step, "who always wins in the end?" He took another step. He was right in front of Sakio now.
"No," Dr. Sakio said. Raised one hand and raised Kip into the air. Kip put his hands to his throat, and is was plain that Sakio was choking him using Telekinesis. Right when Kip was about to pass out, a resounding crash of broken glass was heard. Everyone turned to the test tube.
Gaby was standing, the white lab clothes she was dressed in dripping with the strange fluid. Gaby's head was bent to the ground, and she was motionless. Everyone stared. Then she raised her head.
Her eyes were a flaming blood red. She looked all the way up at Sakio. Sakio dropped Kip immediately out of shock. Seth, finally released from the Telekinesis, ran over to Kip's side. Kip sat up, rubbing his throat and looking at Gaby. Lily suddenly stiffened.
Something's not right...Gaby...What are you doing? Lily though. There had been a serious surge in the room, and now it was constant, emanating from Gaby.
"Impossible!!!" Dr. Sakio said, stepping back in fear. "How..."
"How did I escape, you wonder? That glass was supposed to be unbreakable by none but the strongest morphs, and you never made me to be so powerful? You mind, despite your claims, is so easy to read I could do in my sleep. For your information, you accidentally made me to be so powerful that I could break through anything if I had the training you had from Giovanni. I might not have had that kind of evil and impure help, and I don't really know how I just did that, but I know one thing: Unless you want to be incinerated on the spot by Lily and I, I suggest you leave us alone!!!"
And, sure enough, Lily appeared beside Gaby. Dr. Sakio laughed.
"You two children think you can beat me like that? Ha! I think it's time you met my real family!" Dr. Sakio said. He raised his hand and it glowed blue, then red, then pink. He put his hand down and smiled cruelly at them.
"I believe this should be good practice for my children. I hope you find this amusing!"
Everyone looked confused for a moment, but it soon became clear what he was talking about.
