Authors notes: Welcome to The Legend of The Mistress. Before the reader chooses to begin the story there are a few things I would like to go over with you. First, this is an alternative universe fic.
In the respect that some characters are much younger than in their respective series. Mainly, Missy appears to be twenty-five and Giovanni is thirty-two.
Secondly, the vast majority of the characters follow their cannons. This story takes place before Missy meets the twelfth doctor. Giovanni's story is very much the same until pokemon XY. With that said the choice to read this is yours. Have fun and enjoy.
Other notes, the author is American. When I started this story I never thought I would get readers from around the world. I'm aware of the different measurements systems and while writing I do my best to avoid putting in such things as temperature and distance.
Alas, you can only describe so much before distance becomes an issue.
Here's a quick conversion.
1 foot is 0.3048 of a meter.
Revisions: Story was revised for grammar and readability 9/20/2017
Chapters one through three have been re-revised. 7/5/18
On a final note, the Tardis in the story is referred to as a tardis. Their's no capitalization because the author feels that the main character would value the tardis a possession, rather than a living object. I read up on the subject, Tardis, when written, is up to the writer and is proper as T.A.R.D.I.S., Tardis, or tardis.
There's a lot of wordplay in this, I do my best to keep the grammar and spelling good. So if you see something off, there might be a reason for it. Thank you for clicking on this story, I hope you enjoy it.
The Legend of the Mistress
Missy peered into the screen above her control panel. She could see that the Cyber-ship was still following her through the time vortex. Her tardis rocked as her shields deflected another shot from their laser cannons.
The tardis shields deflected another shot. The blast lurched the ship forward throwing her back onto the steel floor.
She groaned as she looked up at the ceiling. The purple lights that adorned the dome above dimmed before they returned to normal.
She growled as she grabbed onto the railing. Her clutch tightened as it became difficult to breathe. Her ribcage pressed into her lungs, she pushed herself up doing her best to ignore the fiery shots of pain.
She stumbled over before she leaned onto the control panel. Her eyes glared at the screen. A warning had just appeared, ahead of her was a pocket of heavy turbulence.
Missy growled in frustration, the course she had chosen for her escape was now working against her, in a fit of rage she shouted, " That's the last thing I need!"
Her finger rushed over to a rolling dial, the atom accelerator. She sharply rolled it to left and held on as the ship made a sharp turn. The tardis lurched as she exited the vortex. She released the dial and allowed it to free spin.
She took a deep breath and ignored the stabbing pains that followed. Instead, she walked to a different panel and looked through an eyepiece, the time path detector. She could see the Cyber-ship following the same course as it had before. Its speed had slowed considerably, it was enough to bother her.
They hadn't exited the wormhole yet, but she didn't want them to start thinking that she had. The Cybermen were notorious for they're calculations and their precision to detail. With this in mind, she knew she had to leave soon.
" That's one problem out of the way," she muttered as her chest started to sting.
Missy telepathically engaged her flight controls, the tardis jolted forward when she did so.
She started to set a course but froze at the information presented from her navigation system. The tardis was moving frantically through the vortex, that hadn't been there a moment ago.
" What?!" she shouted.
She engaged the atom accelerator and brought the throttle to its maximum as she attempted to fight the pull. She searched the vortex position display, the device did her little good. She quickly realized she was being pulled in a different direction, it was impairing her view.
A quick pace wyrum took her attention away from the eyepiece. A five-sided white crystal blinked, the recall circuit. Its activation deactivated the tardis shields. The distorted sound of a church bell dinged through the control room, it was the cloister bell. It's chime warned of a disaster.
The ship lurched forward again as it fell into a wormhole.
She looked at the five-sided crystal and watched it slowly blink. The recalled circuit shouldn't have activated. The only way it could have been done was if Gallifrey had called her home. She knew that was an impossible feat, Gallifrey was lost, this had to be some kind of an error.
She looked at her navigation and flight controls. Her fingers raced across the buttons as she attempted to regain control of the tardis.
Her efforts were in vain. The ship began to rock violently, as it did she lost her balance. She was thrown into the side of the railing. She screamed as her ribs cracked, she felt the joints in her spine begin to crumble as the tardis rattled once more.
The room became a white void, Missy screamed as the light burned her. The control room filled with a yellow aura of energy, her vision was lost to the firey light as it engulfed the room.
After a moment the ship crashed to the ground with a heavy thud. The ship creaked as it lurched forward. The tardis slammed into the ground as it took a standing position.
Missy took a few deep breaths before she stood back up. She felt much better now, her ribs didn't hurt, and she could walk. She chucked it off, coming to the conclusion that her regeneration energy had healed her.
Her coordinates were flashing rapidly, but her position in time and space was stable. She moved over to the navigation and attempted to take off, but quickly discovered that the tardis was unable to de-materialize.
" What?"
Missy looked at her power gauge. She frowned when she realized that her tardis was out of temporal energy.
She growled in frustration. " First the negotiations with the Cybermen go horribly wrong and now this."
She looked at the screen again and grew more frustrated with her situation. It was projecting an image of the outside world. The tardis had crashed in a forest. A rather large butterfly just flew past the camera.
" A planet filled with oversized insects. What kind of a world is this?"
Missy walked toward the door and opened it. She squinted as the bright sunlight shined in her eyes. As her eyes adjusted as she took a look around.
She was in the heart of a forest. Her tardis was surrounded by a growing group of large insects. The enormous grubs were green and brown. They slowly inched their way closer as they approached her.
In the sky, small birds, ladybugs, and butterfly, earth-like creatures danced around the crash site. All of them had a curious look in their eye's.
A butterfly flew up to, then said with great enthusiasm, " Hello there!"
Missy slammed the door in the butterfly's face. She buried her hands in her face in disbelief at what had just happened. " Talking insects, what the hell?"
Missy stomped back to her controls. She ran a test to see if she was in Dream Time.
She shook her head and hoped." Maybe this is just some sort of terrible nightmare," she told herself.
She gawked when the tardis informed her that the test was negative. Slightly disappointed by this, she came to the conclusion that the tardis was translating for these creatures.
She put the thought out of her mind, before she ran a search of the world, specifically for a time rift. A time rift was the only thing that could recharge her ship. She wanted to leave this world more than anything else at the moment.
As the computer began its search it informed her of other things. The date was September 17th, 2016 the time was 10:37 am. The planet she was on was a world composed of a few continents and many islands. A very lush and fertile world perfect for plants and life. Her computer was quick to discover that this was a planet occupied by humans.
She snarled at the discovery. " Okay."
She discovered the world was occupied by other creatures known as pokemon. Their purpose on this world was for companionship, battling, defense, and could be used to travel the regions. Some pokemon such as pidgeot could fly people from city to city, others such as lapras could be used to travel the oceans, and other pokemon such as dugtrio could be used to dig out of caverns.
Her anger grew when she discovered there were no temporal rifts on the planet. She scanned the planet again, for a second there was a ping. Her attention was immediately drawn to it.
Missy ran a few scans for temporal rifts before she pinpointed a creature. A small article came on the screen accompanied by a picture.
The pokemon was a small green fairy. It was shown flying through a forest with its clear wings. It had large baby-blue eyes with thick black rings around them, they stared at her from the photo.
Celebi, the Time Travel Pokemon. This pokemon came from the future by crossing over time. Celebi wanders across time as guardian of the forest. It is believed to replenish the forest it visits. The sight of a celebi is a good omen for travelers and trainers alike.
Missy looked over the picture as she memorized every aspect of the pokemon. She then searched for other time travel pokemon, but celebi was the only one. She scanned the timeline of this world and noticed rifts appearing and disappearing throughout its history. The time frames were mostly short, she wondered how she could get a shot at it.
She considered the people, they used pokemon and she wondered how that worked.
She read a good deal about pokeballs and the pocket dimensional properties they held. How to catch pokemon and the process involved.
The tardis informed her that catching pokemon was not an easy task. A trainer must first weaken a pokemon before an attempt could be made at capture. She learned that no pokemon was off limits to a trainer, as long as they could capture it they could keep it.
Pokemon trainers cannot capture other trainers pokemon with pokeballs. To be stolen they must be taken from their original pokeball. She read about poke stores where she could buy pokeballs. She discovered there were very few towns that did not have these establishments.
She telepathically had her tardis search for the nearest town. She looked back to the screen. She was located in the Johto Region and was less than a mile away from Goldenrod City.
A map appeared on the screen. She looked it over and remembered her location and directions to Goldenrod. She did some quick research on the town and discovered it was the largest city in the region.
Goldenrod City was home to a pokemon center, radio tower, game corner, pokemon gym, train station, and had a large shopping district. Goldenrod was the sister city of Saffron City in the Kanto Region. She clicked on the article for Saffron City.
Saffron City was located in the Kanto Region. It was the region's prominent city. Saffron City was home to Silph Co. and other major office and science industries. Saffron City had two world-renowned pokemon gyms and was the heart of progress for the region. Historically the city was best known for the invention of the pokeball.
Missy pondered over the information she had learned. All she needed to do was purchase some pokeballs, go out and capture a couple of pokemon. The concept seemed simple enough.
Feeling she knew enough to get by she grabbed a black purse and her umbrella from under the console. She checked the contents inside. She had a large black controller, some makeup, and a hairbrush. In her wallet, a piece of psychic paper and one credit card, The Master Card, universally accepted. She took out her makeup mirror and looked at herself.
She gasped as she gazed into the mirror. Her appearance hadn't changed much she just looked much younger. She now appeared to be in her early twenties. Her blue eyes stared back at her pale face. Her auburn hair was tangled and a mess. She let out a sigh as she reached for her brush.
She carefully began to work out the tangles. She told herself everything had gone wrong today. It really had, what she needed was the Cybermen's technology, not to crash land on a planet with talking butterflies.
She set the brush aside. Her fingers skimmed the controls until she found the button she was looking for, the voice integrator button. She tapped it and accessed the language bank. A small list of languages appeared on the screen. She selected pokemon and promptly disabled it.
Missy walked back towards the door and opened it. She was still surrounded by pokemon. She grinned as she pulled the controller from her purse. A glee filled reminiscence of her enemies running for their lives came to mind before she pressed one of the many buttons on it.
A sonic screech filled the area with a dreadful sound. All of the pokemon surrounding her fled. Satisfied with the work she had done she tucked the controller into her bag.
Missy stepped down onto the grass. Her heel sunk into the mud it collapsed and caused her to fall over. A combination of mud and grass-covered her skirt. Frustrated and angry she got back up and stepped back inside.
She ripped off her heels while she walked back into the tardis. She stepped into a large wardrobe and chucked her shoes into a corner. She looked over her many outfits and made the decision to wear something else.
It was a considerable amount of time before she decided on a different outfit. She placed on a pair of black pants. Snatched a pair of cute boots. She was wearing an ebony power vest and white dress shirt. Her tie was violet and her jacket was a purple so dark it could easily be mistaken for black.
The close went well with her slender figure. She put her hair in a braid. Missy's new look was sharp and she looked stunning.
She grinned as she looked at herself in the mirror. She picked up her purse and emptied it switching all of her belongings to a small black satchel. The outfit would work for the journey ahead. She strapped her vortex manipulator back onto her wrist she hid it under her jacket. As she left she picked up her umbrella.
She looked over her tardis. It had become a tall tree with pink fruits hanging off its branches. On the side an image of a carved heart with an arrow through it. Missy recognized the marker for her tardis. She remembered it for later.
She made her way into the forest. According to the map, she looked over a path was very close by. She found it and continued on her way to Goldenrod City.
The forest was dense, and even though the day was sunny the light barely penetrated the canopy. Missy could see just fine and continued to walk to a clearing. She could hear the sound of weapons firing in the distance. It wasn't long before she reached the city. She stopped at the end of the trail and took a look.
Many of the buildings in Goldenrod City were in flames. The city was in a bleak state of war. Red and black helicopters zipped through the sky. Bright laser beams tore through the sky as they shot at each other.
Missy noted on the side panel of one of the helicopters had a red R emblazoned on it. The sky was filled with various species of pokemon. They desperately attacked both factions in a chaotic frenzy.
In the distance, a large pillar of light reached into the sky stretching into space. It was unnatural, Missy could tell it must have been at least a couple of hundred miles away. A red helicopter zipped overhead flying low over the city. The rival faction was quick to shoot at it. She smirked as she watched the war, but the focus of her attention soon changed.
She listened to the soft footsteps of a beast running in her direction. She turned to the source of the sound.
Missy gazed upon the creature as it approached. It was one of the most stunning creatures she had seen in all of the universe. Its fur was a bright shade of silver. All nine of its tails had a blue tip. That look of terror in its eyes really made it shine.
Missy scanned the creature with her controller. She discovered that it was the pokemon ninetails, the firefox pokemon. Missy was quick to react. She ran to the creature. She pointed the controller the pokemon's torso. With the press of a button, the controller unleashed a mild pulse of energy.
The pokemon stopped dead in its tracks. The ninetails looked to her with terror. The pokemon's eyes widened as they gazed upon her.
I wish you hadn't have done that, she telepathically said.
She was caught off guard by this, the pokemon were telepathic? She wondered about that, with the chaos that was ensuing she disregarded the thought and decided to reply.
Oh, I couldn't help it, it's not every day you find such a gorgeous beast, Missy replied.
The sound of a helicopter approaching brought her attention back to the scene. The pilots peered at them.
Missy pointed her controller at the red helicopter. With the press of a button, the movements of the blades stopped. The helicopter froze in the sky. Her controller had placed the helicopter into a time stop.
She observed the pilots. They had begun to panic. They frantically attended to the controls in the cockpit.
The sky began to turn a pale blue. A brilliant pulse of light ripped through the sky shaking the earth. A heavy gust of wind howled past her. Missy looked around and witnessed the leaves around her begin to glow. They released blue energy.
It wasn't just the trees everything around Missy including herself and ninetails were slowly dissipating. She watched as the small particles of energy began to float to the sky. She looked around and decided it was a good time to leave this point in time.
Missy looked down at ninetails. " Come with me."
To her surprise, the ninetails began to follow her. The pair ran back into the forest together keeping perfect stride with one another. Missy could hear a helicopter flying overhead. She wondered what it would be doing out here. They bolted down the path and ran through the woods.
Soon the tardis was in sight. It wasn't holding up well to the event. It was slowly dissipating with the forest that surrounded it. Missy reached into her pocket. She pulled out the tardis key as she ran. She stopped and caught her breath at the entrance.
Ninetails pounced as she stopped, the pokemon looked around frantically. That weapon is going to end the world.
Missy sighed." Relax."
She walked up to the door and opened it. She then turned to the ninetails and looked her dead in the eyes.
Missy gazed back with the intention of total dominance. The ninetails eyes dilated as she took in the emotion. As the pokemon latched onto her emotions, she began to hypnotize it.
After a moment ninetails had calmed down. Missy was reassured that it worked, the pokemon had succumbed to her will.
" Get in, sit down, and touch nothing," Missy commanded.
Slowly the fox complied. She appeared to be fighting every instinct to run as she stepped on board the tardis.
Missy promptly shut the door. Mentally she accessed the chameleon circuit. She transformed the tardis into a small fountain with a celebi. She smirked as she sat at the edge of the small pool.
She rolled up the sleeve of her jacket. She checked the oscillations on her vortex manipulator. The time coordinates were fine, but the universal oscillations were locked.
Missy listened to the sounds of a helicopter approaching. The sound of many people running close by heightened her senses. She needed to leave and hoped taking the tardis would work. She began to enter coordinates for ten years in the past.
She lost focus to the sound of a weapon firing causing her finger to slip. She narrowly dodged a laser beam.
In front of her, a man dressed in a red suit approached. His eyes were concealed by red sunglasses, but his smirk was unforgettable. He took aim with his laser gun.
It no longer mattered to her. Missy could feel the pull of time. She watched as time-shifted around her and the tardis.
