SASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Mewtwo awoke sometime around mid-morning, expecting to find himself and his kits asleep near Natasha. Instead he awoke in a windowless cave surruonded by fluffy, blazing warm fire pokemon. Arcanine and Ninetails slept around him. He could see again.
"About time you woke up, I'd think losing your offspring and mate to an evil mastermind would have upset you more" said a sarcastic voice, and Mewtwo shot a ball of psychic energy at Mew in a sudden fit of rage as the previous night's events unfolded.
"I care about Natasha and my offspring, you insolent trouble maker. She said they were going to a place called Mile Island. But I don't know where it is," Mewtwo admitted, sighing.
"Well, that's good because Persian does", replied Mew. Giovanni's Persian sat next to the floating pokemon, licking her paw and staring at Mewtwo like an intersted child at a zoo.
"Why didn't you go with your trainer," Mewtwo said coldly; it wasn't a question, more an accusation. At the moment he didn't want to see anything to do with Giovanni.
"He left without me," she admitted, sounding sad.
"Giovanni abandoned her. She was wondering if she could stay here with us," said Mew.
"Do what you will. This place is open to any pokemon who wants to come. The only ones I do not welcome are humans. You say you know where this Mile Islands is?"
"Sure. He keeps a map in his office, just over where I usually sleep. It's New Island. It was called Mile Island before you destroyed it and renamed it," Persian replied, now washing her face.
Mewtwo's expression hardened and he rose into the air. He used his powers to make Arcanine, Ninetails and Natasha's Gyarados into the air as well. Mew joined his side. Now he had his army. They would storm the castle he had abandoned on New Island.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
"No!!! MOTHER!!"
Natasha scratched at the walls of her containment cell but to no avail. She couldn't get to her children. Giovanni's scientists were hooking them up to machines! She would not have this, she would NOT!!
"LET THEM GO!" she bellowed, using both her telepathy and her voice. Giovanni's head scientist was obvious, because he was the only one not doing anything. He walked up to the transparent glass side of her containment cell and sneered in at her. She glared back.
"We're not hurting them, merely... testing them," he told her. Like hell she would ever believe it.
"LET THEM GO!! They didn't do anything!" she ccried angrily, baring her sharp little teeth and growling at them. Ohhhh, she had never really hated humans before but she did now! She was furious!
"Tranquilize her," said the head scientist.
She was not a science experiment, she was a living creature!!! How DARE they treat her like she was nothing but a project?! Now she knew why Mewtwo hated all human contact.
Mostly, she feared for her children.
The door to her cell opened revealing two scientists. They shot her with something, but as far as she could tell, there was no effect. She leapt at them, intending to claw their eyes out. She landed heavily on top of one, bit him, kicked out at the other one and ran from the cell to get to her children. Minitwo was hooked up to the machine already and as far as she could tell it was taking readings of his brain waves. He looked scared and reached out for her, but she couldn't get through the thick glass that contained him. It was the same for the other four.
Strong arms grabbed her from behind and drove a needle into her thigh. She was down almost immediately, powerless and still furious.
"Let me GO!" she screamed.
"MOTHER!! DON'T HURT HER!" cried Twosie, banging his little hands on the glass tube that held him. They were liquidless but not very roomy.
"As is expected sir, they aren't very cooperative," said one of the scientists. Giovanni stood there, looking very smug.
"Not a problem. Do what you must to get them to behave. Mewtwo is the ultimate prize here," said Giovanni.
An idea formulating in her mind, Natasha let herself be dragged into the containment cell once more. She called out with her mind, using all the psychic powers she posessed.
Mewtwo, can you hear me?
Natasha? Is it you? came Mewtwo's voice. He sounded hardly daring to believe it.
Yes, it's me!! We're on New Island!! They're using your old palace to do their experiments!
I know. Giovanni left his Persian behind and she told me about it. Are the kits alright?
I think so, but Mewtwo, they're locked inside thick glass tubes! They've been hooked up to a machine and they'er scared. So am I. I tried, but I can't get to them! Giovanni is planniong a trap for you! He's using us as bait! You musn't come bursting in! she warned him.
There was a long pause. Worryingly long.
Mew and your pokemon are with me, along with Giovanni's Persian. We are on our way, but your news is worrying. We will devise a new plan. Make sure the humans don't hurt the kits," he told her.
Natasha glared daggers at the humans exclaiming over their children like kids at a zoo.
I plan to.
She stood at the wall of the cube as well as she could on her drugged legs anf stared at her children, hoping no harm came to them. The tranquilizer they'd shot her with began to take affect and she drifted off to sleep.
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Mewtwo received her message and ordered the entourage of pokemon to land with him on a few scattered rocks out to sea, about halfway to New Island, also known as Mile Island.
"This sounds like something he would do, from all you've told me so far. So how do you propose we get in without anyone knowing?" asked Arcanine
Mewtwo narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking. He knew every way into that castle, inside and out. He had built it, after all. But Arcanine was far too big to be inconspicuous. Mew and Ninetails were the far less obvious, because they were smaller.
"Mew and Ninetails will go in with me. Gyarados and Arcanine stay out here and keep watch. Attack when you must. These humans are not our friends," Mewtwo said cooly. No one needed to be reminded.
"That's all fine. What about Dragonite? Is she going in with you?" asked Gyarados.
Mewtwo looked to the female Dragonite. She nodded, looking angry and determined. She had been heartbroken when her previous master had died, leaving her with no one. She had readily attached herself to Natasha and was almost as fierce about her as Ninetails.
Mewtwo feared she would fight him if he said no, so he nodded.
"She will provide lookout while we get in, and will join us after," he said.
"Lookout, ha. I'll show you lookout," she muttered, but she didn't raise any more objections.
Mewwo looked on. In the very distance, he could just make out the black palace he'd rebuilt using the remains of the old laborotory. They were more than halfway there. Giovanni might have set up a sort of radar to detect approaching pokemon. They would need to go via the water.
He could swim, and well. It was far faster to fly underwater.
"We go under the water. They may sense us if we go by air," he said. It was all well for the water and dragon pokemon. Arcanine and Ninetails wouldn't be able to take the water.
"I can swim. It's not likean attack, I can take water," said Ninetails almost proudly, holding her head up confidently. Persian rolled her eyes. There was no way she was getting wet.
Mewtwo rounded on her, eyes narrowed.
"You go with us or I leave you," he said coldly.
Persian shot him a filthy lok and lunged into the ocean, closely followed by the fox-like fire pokemon and the enormous Arcanine. It was obvious at a glance that neither pokemon lilked swimming, however.
Mewtwo himself plunged into the water, letting the wwaves take him, and he used his psychic powers to allow the others to "fly" underwater with him so no one fell behind.
They were fast approaching the edge of the massive island , where it grew up from the ocean floor as a vestige of the land mass that had at one time been there.
Mewtwo resurfaced, followed by the fire pokemon and Dragonite, Mew and Persian. Persian was looking ratherr waterlogged and not at all happy.
Losing no time at all, he jumped nimbly out of the water and shook himself off, looking up immediately at one of the open pipes that allowed water to flow out. He rose up and flew inside, closely followed by Dragonite, Mew, Ninetails and Persian. She looked thoroughly glad to be out of the water, but frowned again when she saw the water in the pipe.
He could sense the mental signals of his mate and kits. They were definitely here.
He floated with the pokemon along the pipe until they came to what had once been his cloning room. Now it was being used for something different, the cloning machines themselves not in use, which was good. There were humans. Lots of humans.
He began searching, rovinghis eyes all over the room, and he spotted them. His offspring were either asleep or looking bored in sealed glass tanks, liquidless and hooked up to wires. He could sense their weakness and guessed they had been drugged to prevent them from having the strength to pull the wires out of their skin.
Anger rose in him. That his young were to suffer the same fate he had been born for was not an option.
He signaled to the others to stay uot, but they would have none of it.
He jumped down from the pipe, falling ten feet to the floor below and landed like a stone, on his feet. He startled a couple scientists standing almost elow the pipe and without thought, without hesitation, he grabbed both their heads and slammed them into one another. He felt one's life signal go out completely; he had killed the man. The other was knocked unconscious.
He quickly led the others out of the pipe and the foray began. Everywhere he looked, Dragonite was using slam to crush the humans into submission, Persian had officialy turned on her master and could be seen biting any human she could get to; Mewtwo was helping here and there, but his main objective were his mate and kits.
He walked over to the control panel for the tubes his young were being stored in and pressed a button; the glass sealed containes opened. He pressed an off button on the machine that was monitoring them and an alarm sounded.
A very loud alarm. They needed to get out as soon as possible.
He destroyed the machine's data banks as an extra precaution and quickly undid the wires holding his opffspring captive. Fuchia woke up immediately, still sluggish but obviously glad to see him. Mewtwo gathered as many of hem as he could carry physically and turned, looking for their mother. He saw her in a seperate glass cube, totally sealed off and hooked to a dozen wires and machines. She was asleep.
He signaled to her with his tail and Dragonite began slamming into the glass, trying to crack it. The glass shattered, nearly two inches thick, and it fell in heavy slabs around the floor.
"Natasha!" Mewtwo cried out.
She didn't stir.
Suddenly, the ceiling caved in and Gyarados could be seen rising above the smaller turret.
"Give her to me!" he roared, and without waiting, he bent down and grabbed Natasha in his enormous jaws, lifting her out and snapping the wires. Mewtwo shot a psychic charge at the machines in there as well and all data was lost.
Ninetails grabbed Minitwo in her jaws and had Persian put Twosie on her back and they were ready to leave.
The entire room was destroyed. Humans lay unconscious or worse wherever he looked and there was fire and msoke from the destroyed machines. The alarm was still sounding.
Giovanni ran into the room and saw the place was destroyed. He slammed an angry fist into the side of the railing that had been erected.
"Damn it! How did you get in without sounding the alarm! Security! I want all of them in cells now!" he bellowed. Almost immediately, more armed humans came charging into the room and Mewtwo didn't give them a chance. He rose into the air with his young, taking the pokemon with him.
They fled Mile Island, a family once more.
But they weren't alone.
