Part #16 - Level One Security Room

Shigeru led Kira back across town with Satoshi following them. They headed down to the security building where Kira lead them in and down a passage that was not on the map of the tunnels. Satoshi figured that it was because it led to a level one area. When they reached the door it opened without any code needing to be input. They went in the rather plain looking black marble room and Satoshi found it interesting that the only thing in the room was pedestal in the middle of the room with a golden ball on the top. Kasumi and Takeshi were standing by Eisen, watching them come in. Pinkuashi was flying around the room in zigzag patterns, paying no attention to the others below him.

"So why were we brought here," Kasumi asked, a little annoyed, as she usually was when she was taken away from her research.

"Because the two of you also need to know what I told Satoshi." Kira walked to the pedestal, laying her hands on the ball, caressing its smooth, mirror-like surface. "I know you know about Murasaki being here, though you all know him as mewtwo."

Takeshi's eyes widened. "Ichibei is mewtwo?"

"Yes, and I prefer you to not call him mewtwo, call him either Ichibei or Murasakisuishou. He is like every other pokèmon in the world. He has a name he chose, so call him by that name."

"But isn't he the only one," Satoshi asked.

Kira said nothing. She only looked at the golden orb. She seemed to be concentrating on something.

"Also," she finally said, turning slightly to Kasumi and Takeshi, "you two need to know that I am not human, nor am I a pokèmon. I…am the megami of pokèmon."

"What?!" Kasumi gasped, taking a step back only to bump into Takeshi. "But, how could you..."

"There are many things that will happen in the next few days so you all need to know that. More will be explained to you all later. For now..."

The ball began to glow under Kira's touch and then the room filled with a map of the planet. Everyone gasped at the sudden explosion of lights that emerged from the ball. Tiny, multiple shaped dots appeared all over the map like Satoshi remembered were on the screens in the main control room. One dot caught his attention that was above the area of Tokiwa City. It was silver and shaped like a star and seemed to twinkle some. He walked to it and studied at it for a moment. Kira knew what he was doing.

"That is my brother's marker." She looked at him as he turned. "That is where Ginkaze is. He's hiding in Sakaki's stronghold."

"So you can track *anyone* from here? Human or pokèmon?"

"Yes." Kira turned back to the ball. "Show location of Ginkaze."

The map suddenly enlarged the area where he was, moving the area to where Kira stood.

"Locate all mewtwos in his area."

Purple diamond shaped markers appeared all around the silver star. Satoshi's eyes widened then he counted them. There were eleven.

"But I thought that mew…I mean Murasaki was the only one." He thought for a moment. "And didn't he wipe out Sakaki's memory last time they met?"

"He could not get rid of my brother's memory. Ginkaze gave Sakaki his memory back. He went after Murasaki again but that time he only wanted one thing, his DNA. From that he created the mewtwos you see here with improved technology." She looked at the markers, looking a little worried. "Show Sakaki."

The map moved slightly, showing Masara. Kira's eyes widened, as did Satoshi's. He was at the professor's house. Shigeru simply looked at the map a bit passively.

"Locate any mewtwos near him."

Two of the same purple markers showed up.

"There is still one missing." She took a deep breath, glancing at Satoshi. "Find Hanako and locate any mewtwos in her area."

The marker showed Satoshi's mother at home with a mewtwo right next to her. Satoshi nearly ran from the room but Shigeru stopped him by catching his arm. They exchanged glares but neither made another move for what seemed an eternity.

"I have to go save my mom!"

"They will be bringing her here." Shigeru looked at Kira then back to Satoshi. "If you leave, then you will not be *here*, where you are needed more."

"Shigeru, my mom is in trouble."

"As is my grandpa. We cannot do anything about it, though. They will be here soon. Neither of them will be hurt. I know Sakaki." He looked at Kira again. "Kira was already aware of this and warned my grandpa when she went there to get you. You have no need to worry."

"They are going to be using my mom as a hostage!"

"I know this. I already have plans made for saving them." Kira looked from Satoshi and then looked back at the orb. "Let me know when Ginkaze starts his move towards my island."

"Yes, Kinakari," a feminine voice from the ball said.

The map disappeared the same way it had appeared. Satoshi, Kasumi, and Takeshi stood shocked that the orb seemed to have a conscienceness of its own and continued to looked at it for a moment, puzzled by it. Kira turned to Eisen, her look serious, and he seemed to stiffen a little.

"Ready for the attack. Make sure the last of the tunnels are done and re- enforce their walls so none of Sakaki's digging pokèmon will get through...this time."

"Yes, Kinakari."

"And prepare to have all security doubled."

"I know. I will make sure we all go through the check list."

Kira nodded, knowing he knew what to do, then walked to Shigeru. "Come, I need to see Avasuke. I have a feeling she is already here."

The young man nodded then smiled as he took her arm. "Good. I would like to see her again."
