Approaching Destination

Dark flew over Kanto. "This is taking to long. I should have found him already.", he muttered. He eventually reached Celadon City. "I think I'm doing this the wrong way. When I have searched a place, it's a wasted effort to return there by accident.", he muttered again. He focused his thoughts around the city. After a few moments, he became enraged, and let out an angry screech. The sound of the screech made people look up. Dark noticed, and inhaled. Then he started to shout. "HUMANS! WHERE IS MEWTWO?!", he screamed. People started to scream, and to run wildely. Dark calmed down a bit. "Pathetic. Time to die, humans.", he sneered, and pointed his hand at the city. A blast was fired, and Celadon City was the second city to be wiped off the face of the planet. "MEWTWO! I WILL FIND YOU!", Dark screamed, and scorched away, leaving a crater behind.

"…and that is the situation right now. Celadon City is completely destroyed. There are no survivors. We will keep you informed as this tragedy unfolds.", the reporter said in the TV- screen. Ash watched with growing anger. They were quickly running out of time. Marone was getting stronger, but somehow she couldn't become a Super Saiyan. Ash remembered that female Saiyans couldn't become a Super Saiyan. So Marone had to reach a level of strength to match Ash's. "This is bad. If he keeps this up, the whole planet is going to be destroyed!", Ash said. His rage builded inside of him, and his hair started to wave. Everybody could feel the wind blowing through the room. Delia turned around. "Ash! Control yourself, please!", she said. Ash regained his senses, and relaxed. The wind had stopped. "Sorry.", he said, and walked outside. With a scream, he transformed. "Damned! Where are you!", he yelled. His power increased more and more. Suddenly, it was over. He fell down on his knees, exhausted. "Damn it all…", he muttered. Misty and Marone had come outside. "Ash, get a hold of yourself!", Misty said, while helping him to get up. "Alright, alright. I'm fine now. Let's continue our training.", he said.

Adron and Drake were sparring against eachother. With their powers growing, they fought for over four hours, non-stop. The Master watched them fight all the time. After a long round, they landed, and powered down. "Good. Take a rest.", the Master said. Adron and Drake nodded, and sat down. The Master walked up to them. "You are doing great. I mean it. It won't be long now before you both reach a new stage of power.", he said, and sat down with them. Drake breathed heavily, still tired from the match with his brother. "I hope so. Ash and the others will need our help.", he said. The Master looked at him. "Do you want to know what is happening on Earth?", he asked. Both Saiyans looked at him. "Yes, I would like to know that!", Adron said. "Very well then.", the Master said, and putted his hand up. In an instant, a crystal ball appeared. "With this, you can look through space and worlds. It will show all the main happenings on Earth, or whatever you want to see.", he said, while putting the ball down. The ball flickered for a moment, and the showed the Earth from space view. "Master, can you let us see what Ash and the others are doing?", Adron asked. The Master nodded, and turned to the ball. After a moment, the screen switched to Ash and Marone, who were practicing. "Look at them go! Ash is sure keeping Marone on her toes!", Adron said. "Is that the boy that has Saiyan DNA inside of him?", the Master asked. "Yes. I gave him my blood after an accident. He's already a Super Saiyan.", Drake said. "I see, interesting. A human who has become an almost pure Saiyan.", the Master muttered. Adron and Drake didn't pay any attention to it, but continued to watch Ash and Marone do battle.

A few days have passed. With no further incidents, Ash and his friends trained harder then ever. And now Marone had reached a level of strength that may rival Ash's power at Super Saiyan. Marone's first battle with a Super Saiyan is about to take place. "Marone, don't hold back against me just because I'm your friend, okay?", Ash said. "Heh, I'll be happy to beat you Ash!", Marone said. She powered up to her maximum, showing a white aura. Ash transformed into a Super Saiyan. "Ready?", he said. "You bet!", Marone replied. After one last look, the battle began. Ash's power was incredible, but Marone's strength had increased alot as well. Constantly attacking, blocking and countering, the battle went on and on. One moment Marone thought she had Ash down, but with a quick energyblast, the tables turned again, and the battle continued. The two fighters flew back, and launched a Kamehameha at eachother. The beams collided, and a power struggle engaged. Neither of the fighters wanted to give up, although Marone had a little trouble keeping her attack in place. Ash noticed that, and sended an extra blast of energy through his beam. It overpowered Marone's beam, and hitted her. She smacked down on the ground. Ash landed, and powered down. He then realized how tired he was, and fell down on one knee. "Wow, that was some battle. You're almost as good as me.", he said. Sweatdrops fell from his forehead. Marone lifted herself up with one arm. "Yeah, and you're not bad either, Ash.", she said. Ash got up. "Let's take a rest and see how Misty is doing. I wonder if she got our Pokemon stronger as well.", he suggested. "Yeah, fine with me.", Marone said, and followed Ash to the field in front of the house.

"Dinner's ready!", Delia shouted. Everybody walked inside the house, and settled themselves at the table. During dinner, Delia looked at her guests. "I know that this is not a good time to ask this, but what if Dark can get to Mewtwo?", she asked. Ash choked almost into a piece of meat. He coughed it out, on his platter. "Mom, don't scare me like that!", he said. "Sorry.", she apologized. "That's okay. Well, if Dark reaches Mewtwo, who knows what will happen. I just hope that we can beat him.", Ash said. Then he felt something. "Huh? What's that that I feel?", he said to nobody in particular. "What are you talking about?", Misty asked. "Something is coming this way. It's strange, but it is familiar to me in a way.", Ash said, while he got up. He walked into the backyard. The rest followed him shortly. Ash turned into the direction where he felt the source of the familiar being. Marone, who also sensed it, looked into that direction as well. "It's powerful, and yet, so…gentle.", she said. Then, in a moment, a silhouette became visible. Ash recognized it right away. "It can't be! It…it is Mew!", he yelled.

Drake and Adron had continued their training in the Saiyan's Realm. Every day they trained, and every day they got stronger and stronger. But at one day, something happened, during a normal battle between Drake and the Master. Drake had increased his ability to transform into a Super Saiyan, so that it would feel almost like he was in his normal state. This was a very clever tactic, because he could summon up enough power at will, while keeping his speed and agility at its best. The Master had a little trouble to keep up, but eventually he smacked Drake down with a well placed elbow strike. Drake bounced on the ground, but immediatly he got up again, ready for another attack. The Master landed a few feet away from him. "Very good, Drake. To train so hard that being a Super Saiyan is almost a normal feeling, is a very good development indeed.", he said. Drake stood there, but something was not right. He looked angry. Very angry at that. The Master noticed that. "Drake? What's wrong?", he asked. Drake just stood there, filled with anger. "This…is…taking…too…long…!", he said. Suddenly, his power erupted with a giant outburst. The Master covered his face. Adron, who had watched the match the whole time, didn't knew what happened. "What the-", the Master said, and tried to look at Drake. What he saw, filled his body with both joy and fear. Drake was still a Super Saiyan, but his hair stood more up, and his aura was wider. Blue bolts of energy flashed around him. "He did it! And in such a short time!", the Master said. Drake stood there, with his newfound power, ready for anything. Adron gasped. His brother had reached a level beyond Super Saiyan. "What a trip!", he said. "Way to go, brother!". Drake grinned. "It seems I have surpassed you, Master.", he said. "Don't get too confident yet, Drake. Your power may have increased, but it is still below mine.", the Master said. "But enough for now. Let your brother have a chance.". Drake relaxed, and powered down. He turned to his brother. "Your turn, bro. Let 'em have it!", he said. Adron gave thumbs up, and walked over to the Master.

Mew landed in Ash's backyard. Everybody looked at the pink Pokemon. "Mew, well this is a surprise. What brings you here?", Ash asked. "I've come to help you with your battle against Dark. I know that he is seeking Mewtwo, and even I cannot stop him. But I can help you fight him.", Mew explained. "How do you plan to help us, Mew?", Misty asked. Mew smiled. "I know about the Saiyans. How strong and powerful they are. But, only male Saiyans can become Super Saiyans, correct?", Mew said. "Yes, that's true. Marone here is a female Saiyan, and she can't transform herself.", Ash said, while he pointed at Marone. "That's why I've come. I can raise Marone's power and strength by giving her my own.", Mew said. Everybody gasped. Would Mew actually give up his life to help them? "Mew, you can't do that! If you do, you will vanish from this planet!", Ash said. "I know that. But it's the only way. You have to stall Dark before he gets to Mewtwo. In the meantime, I will raise Marone power to a new pinnacle.", Mew explained. "But we don't even know where Dark is! He is masking his power, so that we can't sense him!", Ash said. Mew stared at Ash. Immediatly, Ash could see Dark fly over the mountains, in his mind. "Go now. Travel alongside the coast. And, take this with you, my friends.", Mew said. He gave Ash a small, glass bottle, filled with a tranquil liquid. "What is this?", Ash asked. "One drop of that liquid, will instantly bring a person or Pokemon back from near death to full power, in one second.", Mew said. Ash placed the bottle on his belt. "Thanks, this will really help.", he said. Mew nodded, and walked over to Marone. "Please, sit down. The process will take a long time.", Mew said. "Uh, how long exactly?", Marone asked, while she sat down. "The transfer will take up to six hours, and then it's done.", Mew said. "Six hours? That's quite a long time.", Ash said. He had released Charizard, and helped Misty on the fire dragon. "Yes. But when the transfer is finished, her powers will be extremely strong. But I will be gone forever.", Mew said. "I understand. We'd better go. I thank you for everything, Mew. Farewell.", Ash said, and took off. Charizard followed him, and together they flew in Dark's direction. Marone watched them go, and then turned to Mew. "It's important that you remain motionless during the process. If not, the outcome can be quite…negative.", Mew said. Marone nodded. "Let's begin.", she said.

Dark flew over the mountains. "Where could Mewtwo be?", he wondered. Then he spotted an island in the ocean ahead. "Hmm. I can feel a tremendous power source over there. I wonder if it is Mewtwo?", he muttered, and set course for the island. The closer he got, the stronger the feeling became. "No doubt. I found him!", Dark exclaimed, and flew at top speed at the island. He landed at the shore. The island was fairly big, with a cave in the centre. A figure slowly walked out of it. It was Mewtwo. "So, Mewtwo. We meet at last.", Dark said. Mewtwo looked at him. "It seems so. I know what you want, but I won't give in without a battle.", Mewtwo said. Dark laughed. "If that is the way you want it, then so be it!", he said.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The situation has changed in both good and bad ways. With Drake already stronger then a normal Super Saiyan, his training continues. And while Mew is transferring his powers to Marone, she will become one of the strongest warriors on the Earth. But Dark has already located Mewtwo, and a great battle between them is about to begin. Can Ash and Misty arrive in time? Or will this be the last battle? More to come, in the next chapter!
