Violet:...Wow, wait, WTF?

Amethyst: You make it sound like you wanna marry Amy off.

Me: Yeh yeh, whatever man.

Alright guys, emotions have been shown, shots have been fired, and death notes have been made. Now then, I have another issue to go about on; Thepizzamonster.

You don't have to be here. Reading my fanfiction is NOT a school assignment, therefore, you could do anything besides telling me how crappy my writing is! I have no issue pointing out that I am very insecure and not confident one bit, but I know when I need to stop being such a push-over and tell you straight on that this needs to stop! So, do us kindly sir and take your reviews else where, because not only am I fed up with it, but I'm sure that my reviewers and other people trying to enjoy my fic to not like it when they have to see your reviews when they're trying to look at other people who review here!

Anyway, on a totally different note, I want to celebrate 150+ reviews! When I first made this fic, I thought that making a double-digit number would be a dream come true on it's own. But, back then, I also didn't know that I would have this many chapters! So, to my awesome positive reviewers that love this fic, this is a shout out too you guys! Keep being awesome guys!

Now then, ON WITH DA FIC!

Chapter 38: Masks and emotions

(Amy's P.O.V)

As much as I wanted to run down the hallway, screaming bloody murder as I did so, I somehow managed to keep calm. I quietly made my way to the member cafeteria. Wow, it still gave me a small headache, to think that I finally became a part of this team. After waiting so long, after enduring so many hardships, we've finally made it.

Only to realize that everything was a huge waste of time.

I growled, slamming my fist into the wall. As much as I respected the clone, I couldn't help but feel angry. I mean, it would have been so much better if he, or even Master hand, told us what the fuck was going on. Then, if we had known, I wouldn't have tried getting here damnit! I wouldn't have had to bring everyone else down with me if I had known!

But, at the same time, I could understand where he was coming from. Heck, I had planned on doing almost exactly what he did for god's sake! The only difference was that the others came with me down to this hellhole.

I groaned, doing a face palm before letting my hand slide down my face. I really don't know if I should be mad with the guy or really impressed.

Damnit Mewtwo.

Right as I turned the corner, a door opened on my left. I had time to turn around before a hand came down on my mouth. I thrashed around, only to be dragged into the dark room, another person closing the door behind me. Without a second though, I grabbed the person's wrist, jerked it to the side, before holding their wrist down, my other hand putting light pressure on the elbow.

Just then, the lights flickered on, revealing a strange pink and black room. The two colors seemed to mix and blend in with one another in a weird hazy way. Like every other room, there were two beds, desks and chairs, closets, and a bathroom door on the right wall. But, unlike most of the other rooms, everything on the right, the bed, desk and others, were a bright hot pink, while everything on the left was black. The only thing that was black, pink, or both was the carpeting, which was a nice shade of lavender.

Then I noticed the people. Glitchz stood next to the light switch, leaning on the wall coolly as she nodded. Megan and Violet were standing next to the bed, as if they were talking before my kidnapping. Randy and Jayden were standing next to the desk, with Amethyst sitting on the chair, as the two boys braced their arms on the desk, Amethyst leaning back. But, if they were over there, that would mean that I was arm barring...

"Ah, shit!" I yelled out, quickly letting go on Alec's arm, "I'm so sorry! It was out of reflex!"

Glitchz laughed, but unlike every other time she'd laugh at Alec, this time it wasn't filled with malice, "I told him not to man-handle you."

"I didn't think that putting my hand around your mouth would be that bad!" He exclaimed, rubbing his wrist as he went to stand by Glitchz.

"It wouldn't hurt if you guys gave me a warning, a message or something!" I said, waving my arms around like a ghetto person, "Heck, you could have just said something instead of jumping me in the hall!"

"What's the fun in that?" Violet and Glitchz asked at the same time, that trouble-making smile on both of there faces.

I glared at Glitchz, not daring to do so the Violet in fear of an un-needed trip to a hospital, before sitting down on thee floor, "What is so important that you guys need to rip me out of my busy day?" I asked, as I tugged at the fluff in the carpeting.

The room was silent for a bit, as the others exchanged glances, before Amethyst cleared her throat, "Well, Amy, the meeting ended at least half an hour ago. We were just wondering where you've been. You did say that right after the meeting, we should hold one of our own."

I forced a laugh out of my throat, flinching at how fake and bad it sounded, "I've just been chilling. Meeting took a lot out of me, so I decided to take a small snooze. I was hoping that you guys would have the meeting without me and fill me in later."

I smirked, knowing that everyone bought it (I am a petty lazy person, so why wouldn't they buy it?), only to have it fade when Violet scowled, "That's a huge lie, Amy."

Shit, I really am losing my deceiving touch. "Why would you say that Violet? You were there too, don't tell me that all the fighting wasn't making you tired."

She growled, "Not my point," She said, shoving her hands into her pocket as if she was trying not to punch me, "This is a big subject for you Amy, no amount of lying could cover that up. I know that you want nothing more then to find and kill Mewtwo's killer."

I flinched at her words, rubbing the back of my head sheepishly, "Well-."

"I also know that you wouldn't compromise this mission for anything, even if you're tired." She said, before walking over to me, soon she was looming over my sitting figure, "What are you hiding from us, Amy?"

I gulped, not wanting to have to go through the truth again. Don't get me wrong, I'm over-joyed that Mewtwo was still alive, I just wish that he had told us what he had planned! Not only would it have saved us time, but it also would have been so that we could help him! But, then again, we did exactly what he did...Grr, damnit emotions!

"I got some big news that might be a very big game changer." I started, not sure how to break it to them.

"What's the worse that could happen?" Amethyst asked, sounding as optimistic as usual.

"Did they find out about us?" Violet automatically questioned.

I shook my head, before rising to my feet, "No, it's nothing like that. It's about Konoha, you see, he's-."

"Let me guess," Glitchz said in a sarcastic tone, as she tried to figure out the most unbelievable and stupid thing to say, "Konoha is secretly Mewtwo, faking his death for the greater good to help defend the mansion and infiltrate this team like we did?"

A dead silence filled the room, as Violet let out something between a snicker and a cough, "Yeh right, that'll happen the day that Randy gets a girlfriend."

I couldn't help but nervously laugh, "Well then, Randy, you better start signing up for online dating sites."

The room was silent for a few seconds after, before chaos exploded in the room.

Alec was screaming and running in circles, with Violet right behind him, shouting at him to calm down. Randy full-on fainted, going face first into the desk; which made Amethyst jump up and at Jayden, causing them both to fall over. Glitchz twitched, her neck cocking to the side a bit, before she fell over, entering a state of random twitching, yelling and groaning. Megan had fallen back on the bed, seeming okay besides the wide and wild look in her eyes.

I sighed, this couldn't get any worse.

Just then, a quick knock came to the door, as Violet's roomie, Natasha or something, walked in, "Hiya Nikki! I was wondering if we could han-." She said, unable to go on when Alec ran right into her, the both of them tumbling to the ground. And, with Violet running full speed behind him, she soon joined the dog pile on the ground.

Damn you, Murphy's law.

I walked over to the three of them, holding out my hand for her to grab; knowing that she wouldn't. As I assumed, she slapped my hand away, getting up on her own. She then grabbed Alec by the arms, pulling him up slightly, before giving me a look, "You gonna help?"

I nodded, wrapping my arms around his legs, before lifting the poor guy off the ground and onto Violet's bed. Glitchz soon snapped out of her "glitching", as she got up to sit next to him, as me and Violet went to grab Nicole-what's-her-face, "I can't believe that door got knocked out by something like this." She said in a teasing manner.

I stuck my tongue out, as I placed...Crap, what was her name again? Ah yes, Natalie! I stuck my tongue out, as I placed Natalie's arm over my shoulder for support, "Even if he's a total klutz at times, he tries hard for you Glitchz."

Instead of scowling, she smiled, "I know. And I love him for it." She said, before placing a kiss on his cheek.

I sighed, smiling lightly at the cute scene, while Violet gagged in the background, "Can you guys please stop with all the P.D.A?" She asked in a stern voice, while helping Randy sit on the chair that Amethyst fell out off.

Speaking of said girl, I was about to walk over and help Amethyst up, only to finally notice that she and Jayden seemed to be having a private conversation in a farther corner. By the way they were holding hands and laughing every now and then, they seemed happy; so I let them be.

I sat down next to Megan, my messed-up grin masking my turmoil of emotions, "So, out of everyone, besides Violet the wall over there, you seemed to have taken the news fairly well."

Megan gave me that "I'm-not-stupid-like-You-So-I-won't-try-to-explain" Look, before leaning back, "You know me. Every scenario, every possibility has run through my head at least three times now since we've arrived here. Not once did I ever see this coming."

"No one did, Megan," I said with a sigh, pushing Alec's handover so that O could sit down next to Megan, "You can't expect yourself to know everything. It's not your fault that we did see this."

Right before I could say anything else, Violet cleared her throat, getting everyone's (who was still conscious) attention, "Amy, thank you for our important update, but we have other important things to speak of."

I scowled, "What could be more important then Konoha being Mewtwo?"

Randy smirked, as he pulled a flash drive out from his back jeans pocket, "Okay, maybe Violet was bluffing," He said in a low tone, "Sure, all the information in this team isn't as important or cool as Konoha being Mewtwo; but it better be a close second."

I took a moment to take that in, before a troublemaking smirk came across my face, "That's why you two were smiling at the meeting," I said, a bit of respect for the twins, "Here I thought that Randy was a goodie goodie; well played you two."

Randy did a mock bow, before going over to Violet's bed, pulling a laptop out from under the bed, "Violet's been going through the records while me and Glitchz go through the camera feeds."

"The things that I found were really disturbing." Violet continued for her brother, as he logged onto the laptop, typing away so fast I could have sworn I saw smoke coming off from his finger tips, "I was watching when Konoha, Gah, Mewtwo was giving me directions. He was directing me to get all the information, but he had me hack into files labeled things like, 'Hidden locations' and 'classified locations'."

"Okay, so maybe team Millennia is after something that the smash bros are hiding?" Glitchz said in a confused tone.

I couldn't help but growl a bit at the memory, "Even if he was on our team, he sure did whatever he could to be a good actor."

Violet shrugged, "I guess even if he is under cover, the only way to do that job well would be to believe it yourself."

"Do you mid if we don't speak of him right now?" I asked, "I really don't want to think about it right now."

Randy had that "I-make-no-promises" smile, before his attention flicked back to the screen, "Check it out. Not only did we get the files were stolen from the smashers, but Violet was also able to get a copy of every bit of information in the archives in this place."

"What good is that when I can already get into everything connected to electricity in this place?" Glitchz asked with a cocky smile.

"Well, Glitchz, as we both know, it doesn't matter how good you are at jumping the firewalls, there are something's that even you can't get into." Randy said, "But, with this information, we will be able to take it anywhere with us, instead of having you memorize it."

"Besides," Violet went on, ignoring Glitchz whom now had a childish pout on her face, "Have you ever gotten into Mr.'s computer?"

I couldn't help but have curiosity take over, as I went to stand next to Violet, who was now messing with Mr.'s files, "I just got into personal files of the higher-ups." She said with a grin, as she read on of them over, "Nathaniel Kato, codename Phosphorus. Eldest of the three Kato siblings. Adopted Nina and Tina Sabel when they were two. Likes: books, quiet offices, and mind puzzles. Dislikes: Irritating noise of any sort, being called 'Nat', and children."

I scowled a bit, before walking over, leaning over Violet's over side, "I still don't understand why braniac would adopt the twins when he doesn't like kids."

"Maybe it was for something for self benefit." Randy suggested.

Megan nodded, "Many guys will adopt children, namely girls, when they're trying to impress girl. Maybe that's why he put up with the two."

I shuddered, disgusted by the thought of the act, before my attention was redirected to the laptop. Violet seemed to be searching in another person's files. I noticed that some of the documents were highlighted a light red, "Hey, what do you think the red ones are for?"

Violet clicked on one, only to quickly back out of the doc when a picture of a dissected dog showed up. She then clicked on another one, which (thankfully) wasn't a picture; rather, it was a 22-paper doc, with the title of "DNA combining". Somewhere in the back of my head, those words seemed to have lit a light bulb in the back of my head, as I asked, "Which higher-up is these papers in?"

Violet clicked in a few more buttons, before saying, "Josef Fern, codename is Doctor." Her eye brows then knitted together, as she pressed in more buttons, "That's odd, there's nothing else about the Doctor."

Megan then snapped her fingers, "That's right, that was the guy who wanted to do the genetic experiments; right?"

I nodded, "Yeh, that older guy that looked like he escaped the asylum with fifty pounds of heroine."

Megan laughed, "so true."

"I won't lie, I personally think that genetic mutation is smart, but is it really safe to test unknown methods on recruits, especially when most of them are kids? Violet questioned.

"Maybe we're all just disposable to them." Glitchz suggested, "I mean, I don't know about you guys, but the Gunmen commander, Rath, had no remorse when she sent some of the gunmen out to there deaths."

Just then, Amethyst and Jayden walked over, a small smile on Amethyst's face as she held Jayden's hand, "I personally like my higher up," Jayden said, "I mean sure, Shade can be a mysterious guy, but he's a riot!"

"I don't really like the Doctor," Amethyst said, trying to keep her smile, as her expression slowly became a slightly nervous one, "He gives me the creeps."

"Don't worry," I said, doing my best to reassure her. Amethyst was such a nice girl, no one liked seeing her scared or sad, "if all goes as planned, we should be out and done soon."

"Amy's right," Violet chipped in, as she went through everyone's personal files, "Hopefully, we won't have to be here for much longer."

"The sooner we leave, the better." Megan added.

"Has anyone thought about how or when we escape?" Jayden asked, "Or what we need to do to make sure that they won't find us?"

Randy and Glitchz shared a knowing smile, before Randy spoke up, "I'm so glad you asked. You see, a major win with Glitchz being in the system is the fact that we are able to cause a full-blown shut down, which leads to the self destruct."

"Sounds fun!" I said, suddenly interested as I leaned forward, "Care to explain?"

Glitchz nodded, the mere mention of this subject creating a spark in her eyes, "Well, you see, me and Randy have rigged it so that, first, the electricity goes out. Then, about two minutes after that, the water dispensers will spray gasoline instead of water. Three minutes after that, fires will start from the kitchen, lead into the hallways by the sprayed gasoline. Then, last but not least, five minutes after, the explosions go off."

"Is there any catch?" Amethyst asked, "Anything that needs to be sacrificed?"

"Well, all that we need are two people, namely Glitchz and someone who can operate that machine, namely me." Randy replied.

"Okay, so, we keep that in mind, we can have that as a last resort plan; only if we get found out." I said, before stretching, "We, I do believe that we're done here."

"Agreed." Megan said, getting up as well, before shooting me a look, "If you all don't mind, me and Amy need to talk."

I could feel slight fear rising in my chest, as Megan grabbed my wrist, dragging me outside and into my room. Once she locked the empty door behind us, she turned around, a small slime on her face, as she held her arms out. That's when I felt it, tears running down my face.

Without a second thought, a ran into her open arms, soon crying my eyes out, as Megan awkwardly petted my head. Not that I minded, "He really did hurt you, didn't he?"

I could only nod, knowing that my words would come out stuttered if I tried to talk.

Megan sighed, before pushing me back, her smile merely the ends of her lips tilted upwards, "You don't need to explain, I can tell without reading your mind."

I let out a little laugh, "Am I really that readable? Damn, I really am losing my touch."

Megan shook her head, "You know, the more you hold it in, the worse your gonna get."

"Well, how would you react if I ended up crying in public?" I asked, shuddering at the thought, "That would be really embarrassing. Besides, the others see me as care free and always happy. I think that they would have a heart attack if they saw me for me, without the mask."

Megan shrugged, "Whatever; I'm just saying, you're slowly killing yourself."

"Hehehe, tell me something I don't know." I said with my troublemaking smirk.

"You really should give Mewtwo a chance."

I couldn't help but flinch, "Megan, you know I don't want to talk about this."

Megan held up a hand, "Hear me out." She said, her eyes glowing behind those glasses, "I know that Mewtwo wouldn't do anything to hurt you intentionally. Yes, I know that what he did wasn't the best, and I also know that you took the most harm from that, but think about it from his point of view."

I sighed, "It doesn't change the fact that he did what he did."

Megan growled, lightly slapping the back of my head, "God damnit, snap out of it Amy! You're not acting like yourself! I mean, come on! The real Amy never held grudges for this long without either acting on it or forgetting! The Amy that I knew only made empty threats to the people she didn't like, she was never the one who started the fight, and she'd only fight when it was to back her friends up! The Amy I knew is loyal and kind, she's like the big sister, even if she's super immature! Amy is funny, always helping people out, always making friends! The Amy I knew would always give other people second chances, so there is no reason that you shouldn't do the same for Mewtwo!"

I sighed, my tears done, as I held a soft smile on my face, "What do you want me to do then Megan?"

"I want you to stop acting. I want you to be yourself again. I don't expect you to automatically forgive him, but I do expect you to give him a chance."

I let out a laugh, and for once, it wasn't fake, "Alright Megan, I will. I swear, where would I be without you?"

I could hear Megan scoff, "In your death bed. If it wasn't for me, you'd have died from all the stupid shit you try to do."

"True that."

Amy: *Hugs Megan* I LOVE YOU BRO!

Megan:...Get her off of me.

Me: Awww, the feels!

Glitchz: You two are so funny! I swear, there has to be a friendship ship for you two!

Amethyst: So, just to make sure, Amy and Mewtwo still have a chance?

Me: Yep.

Everyone: YAY!

Alec: Speaking of him, where is he?

Randy: I guess he's still out looking for Amy.

Amy: But I'm here!

Me: I guess he still thinks that you're out here somewhere.

Glitchz: AWWWWWWWW!

Violet: Oh do please shut up! All this lovey-dovey shit is going to make me throw up!

Me: Oh, if only you knew what I have in store for your love life Violet...

Everyone: ?

Me: Anyway, question time!

on a scale from one to ten, what is your favorite color of the alphabet? There are 50 possible answers, it's a simple yes or no question.

Megan: This makes no sense.

Amy: 5 green A, 25, no.

Violet:...Get my point?

Me: I just wnat to see what the reader thinks, jeez man, chill. Anyway guys, that's chapter 38 or something., I'm to lazy to get to the top of the doc to check. But, as always, leave a review (everyone but Thepizzamonster), and tell me what you think! LATER PEEPS!
