Disclaimer: Well no matter what you think I do NOT own any of the characters that I steal from TV shows, movies, books, exc. So there. Oh, and for everybody here that hates Pokemon, I apologize for using Mewtwo as a char in my story. It's just that he's my favorite player in the Nintendo game Super Smash Brothers Melee. So I put him in as another character, he's not a very important one though.

Cryos called out for everyone to stop for a moment so Zeethra could find them. I didn't take long, less than a minute later, Draca came swooping down out of the sky in spaceship form looking for a place to land.

When she found one her mouth opened and Zeethra jumped out. Following her was a bizarre-looking creature. At first glance, Cryos thought it was an Ice-Jin. But when he looked again, he saw the similarities were vague at best.

The thing was tall and cat-like with a long tail that got wider at the end, forming a club shape. It had large hips and a small upper body. It's hands and feet that were paw-like and even had the little pads like a dog or cat. It had a cat like head with a tiny mouth and two long ears. There was a tube like projection coming from the back of its head and reconnecting with its spine part way down its back. It's skin was covered with pale purple fur that had patches of darker purple covering it's shoulders, hips and tail.

When Zeethra saw Cryos looking at the cat-like thing, she said, "This is Mewtwo. I found him a coupla years ago when I took Draca out to show her where the parts that made her had come from. When we were in the world where we fought that dragon and the big, ice-spitting bird Draca picked up a psychic call for help. Some guys who called themselves Team Rocket had captured Mewtwo and he was calling out for help. Anyway we saved him and working together pretty much wiped out Team Rocket. Mewtwo's been working with us ever since."

Pleased to meet you, Cryos. Mewtwo said in a psychic voice.

"Nice to meet you too," Cryos told him. Then to both Mewtwo and Zeethra, he said, "this here is my lovely fiancée Kentra."

Kentra had reverted back to her shy self and was barely able to say hi.

"That's Zon," He pointed at the big who was still cleaning the Kelbrid blood off his blades. He waved with one pincher hand as the other cleaned one of his blade arms.

"Those are the Animorphs. They're a bunch of humans who can turn into animals." The Animorphs didn't look happy with this new turn of events. "And these are Kelbrid." Cryos gestured to the creatures all around them. "I think they're going to help us defeat The One."

"The who?" Asked Zeethra.

"Haven't you tried sensing for Mom and Dad's power here yet?" Cryos asked. "They're here, in this Universe. But they've been captured and absorbed by a thing called The One."

"Absorbed?" Zeethra gasped. "How?"

"I don't know how! I just know that we have to do something before The One uses their power to conquer the entire Multiverse!"

The Kelbrid General pulled on Cryos's pants leg. "We must move!" He hissed. "The Queen does not like to be kept waiting!"

"Well, then by all means, lets go." Cryos fell into step next to Kentra.

"What's gonna happen, Cryos?" She asked.

"I don't know, but don't worry." He put his arm over her shoulder. "With me, you, Zeethra and Zon all here nobody can touch us."

"What about that Mewtwo guy?"

"I'm not sure, let me talk to him." Cryos let go of her and drifted back in the group until he was walking next to Mewtwo.

When he got there, he saw that the feline creature wasn't walking, but floating. Hovering a few inches above the ground. He seemed to have a look of concentration of his face, and was floating along with his eyes half-closed.

It took a few moments before Mewtwo even noticed him standing there. "I hope you don't space out like that in the middle of battle."

I was sensing for danger, and you aren't a source of any danger right now. So I didn't notice you.

"What are you anyway?" Cryos asked.

I am a Pokemon. I was created in a laboratory attempting to make a creature with devastating psychic power. They succeeded, but were unable to control me. I escaped and was free until they were able to neutralize my power with a machine. I was barely able to get a psychic message out. Fortunately for me, your sister heard my call and rescued me.

"What kind of powers do you have?" Cryos asked him.

I read minds, have telekinesis, limited energy attacks. Most of what I do is just simple mind tricks.

"But you can really read peoples minds?"

Mewtwo leaned close with a small smile on his face and said is a low psychic voice, Just before you came to talk to me you were speaking with the girl there. He pointed at Kentra walking and looking around nervously. You were thinking about how attractive she looked when she launched that Kelbrid back into the forest. In fact, you were thinking that tonight you two could fly off into the forest yourselves and-

"SHHHH!!!" Cryos shushed him and whispered "Did anyone else hear that?"

No, Mewtwo assured him. I can direct who will hear my words and who will not. No one else heard.

"Make sure it stays that way. And I thought you were sensing for danger, not spying on my, less noble thoughts."

I remember things unconsciously, I can go back and review them as I see fit. But don't worry, your secret's safe with me.

Cryos sighed in relif. "If you're going to poke around peoples minds at least make yourself useful. Can you tell me what the Kelbrid are thinking?"

I have been trying to determine that myself for some time. The small ones have no minds to speak of, there is simply nothing to read. The larger one is little better. That one has a mind, but it is not his to control. I can't tap into his mind when someone else already had a direct line. These Kelbrid are all under control of some larger force.

"Their Queen." Cryos muttered.

Yes, that would make sense. What I am seeing here is roughly what happens with communal insects. Where one individual has unconditional power over all others.

"Sure, I only guessed that when I first met them." Cryos didn't like it when people stated what he already knew.

You mean when you injured the Kelbrid General and all the smaller ones felt his pain?

"Would you stay out of my head!?"

I am very sorry, it's simply that until you learn to control your thoughts I can't help but read them. It's like you're shouting.

Cryos sighed. "I'm going to go back up to be with Kentra, you can go back to… whatever it was you were doing before. And don't read out thoughts!"

When he fell into step by her Kentra asked, "What's he like?"

"Annoying but not dangerous. And don't have any thoughts going around in your head that you don't want him to see. He's a mind reader."

"Cryos…" Kentra asked softly. "If, I mean when. When we defeat The One, what will we do?"

"Well, I was looking forward to relaxing for a long time. I always imagined a little house in the woods back on Earth, like the place where I grew up. There were trees, mountains, rivers… and not a living soul for miles around. But that's just me. Maybe you want to go someplace exciting…"

"OH NO! Peace and quiet are gonna look real good after all this. If anyone back on Ba'Ran knew what I was doing out here they'd probably all have heart attacks."

"You're going to love it on Earth." He told her. "It's beautiful there. It's a paradise compared to anything we've seen here." He looked up at the starry night sky. And remembered.

Everything starts to get wavy as Cryos goes into a flashback, but thankfully, before it begins, the Kelbrid General taps on his leg again.

"We have arrived at the hive." The thing announced proudly as it pulled back a huge fern leaf blocking the path.

Cryos expected to see something big. Like a termite mound, only bigger, or at least a giant anthill.

He was disappointed. The hive was nothing but a small mound with a tunnel almost five feet across coming out of it side.

Kelbrid were everywhere. Crawling in and out of the entrance to the hive, carrying rocks and piles of dirt out of the hole, some were even dragging a large, dead, deer-like creature out of the forest towards the hive.

One of the Kelbrid Generals came slithering up to Cryos. "We extend our greetings to you." It said as it bowed. When it stood up, Cryos saw the slash of white across its stomach.

"Well, I guess I can thank you for setting all this up with your Queen."

"Yesss…" It hissed. "This warrior trusts the Queen's messenger arrived before too much damage was caused."

"Yeah, we killed a bunch of the small Kelbrid, but none of us were hurt." Cryos felt that the small Kelbrid were rather unimportant to the larger ones.

"It is nothing. Already, their replacements are being grown in the hatcheries. But now, the Queen arrives!"

Cryos and the others looked over at the entrance to the hive. There was a dark shape coming out of it. At first Cryos thought it was some kind of beast the Kelbrid used to dig their tunnels, but as it got closer, he saw it was a gigantic Kelbrid!

It stood (If that word can be applied to something with no legs) taller than Cryos. And it's tail was the exact circumference of the tunnel. The things tail was bloated beyond belief, and as it wormed out of the tunnel, Cryos could see why. It was literally oozing eggs out the back end.

One egg after another after another. And each one was caught by a waiting Kelbrid and carried off down the tunnel. The Queen spoke, but it's hard to concentrate on someone when they're laying eggs at an alarming rate.

"My broods tell me you could be a great ally against The One, and yet you know the prophecy, that The One shall not be defeated until a Kelbrid warriors appears who is different. I fear that may never happen, but we will wait nonetheless! We will not abandon our hope, but…"

Cryos, who had begun slumping over in defeat, looked up at the chance the Queen was changing her mind.

"But if you are set on fighting the one," The Queen continued, "we will supply you with some warriors. As I understand it, one of my Generals already owes you a life-debt. My General will go with you on your quest, as well as many Fighting Drones as I can spare at the present time. And don't get your hopes up, after the fiasco attacking your camp there aren't enough Drones to go around as it is!"

The Kelbrid Queen turned around and (With great effort) slowly began sliding herself back into the tunnel.

Zeethra looked at Cryos and said, "If someone could beat Mom and Dad at once and then stole their power they're going to be really tuff to beat. We're going to need help."

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Cryos asked her.

Yes, she is. Mewtwo announced.

"No one asked you!" Cryos yelled.

"Ok, who's going to go and who'll stay?" Cryos asked her.

"Why don't you go?" It was more a command than a question. "I'll get the Kelbrid ready and take care of everything here. You go home and see who can help us."

"Fine, I'll go." Cryos slumped his head down. "But I won't like it."

Cryos had long ago had Washu set up a homing beacon on his Earth to that his wormholes would be directed straight there.

He opened a wormhole. If the beacon was working, it should open into a meadow near the house where he had grown up.

The portal looked alright, it wasn't showing any of the usual signs of opening into space or somewhere very dangerous.

Cryos held out his hand to Kentra and the two of them stepped through the portal together.
