Author's notes: Can I say something? ::dodges stuff being thrown at her by people who are sick of author's notes in every chapter:: *ahem* That was a close one. Anyway, I want to say to the people who said Link and Zelda should be a couple that I have most of the plot laid out, but that's one thing that I'm trying to figure out right now. I mean, obviously from the last chapter, Zelda likes Roy, but he's a bit... Taken, which may arise into other problems in this chapter... I'm saying too much. But anyway, that doesn't mean she's just gonna jump into Link's arms. ^^ So if it does happen, it'll probably be in the second half, and I'd say I'm about halfway through now, so...
And I'm talking more. This chapter's also pretty short. Why are all the Mewtwo chapters short? ^^
Chapter Nine
Mewtwo's POV
"I'm your dream, make you real
I'm your eyes when you must steal
I'm your pain when you can't feel
Sad but true
I'm your dream, mind astray
I'm your eyes while you're away
I'm your pain while you repay
You know it's sad but true."
That man... Ganondorf. I wondered about Ganondorf... I could sense strange energy from him. There was something that he wasn't telling me, but I couldn't be sure what it was. But at that point, all that really mattered to me was getting something accomplished; having a purpose. And this man seemed to need my help, so I was going to give it to him.
Earlier that day, he had taken me into the woods to show me this boy he spoke of before. He also asked what my powers were capable of. At first I wasn't sure what he wanted that information for, but he made his intentions clear when we got back to his base. While the boy slept, I was able to tap Ganondorf into his mind. I could see what the boy was dreaming, and how Ganondorf affected it. I knew for sure that there was something more between the two, but I still didn't know what it was. But perhaps that wasn't for me to know.
I stood outside the fort with Ganondorf. He wanted something more from me; he wanted to see the boy again. As he closed his eyes, I summoned my power to connect my mind with his own. I then remembered as much of the boy as I could, until I could see an image of him, which was passed into Ganondorf's mind, as well.
The boy was awake now; I imagined he hadn't slept again after that dream. It had been three hours since then, and the sun would rise in a couple more. He didn't appear to be doing much of anything, until one of his companions awoke. A young man with teal hair turned, then rose to the boy sitting up to his left side.
"Roy? What are you doing awake?" The other boy groaned, still half asleep.
"I just can't sleep, I suppose," he mumbled in a monotone.
"You really should try, though. You've slept about four hours in the past week, haven't you?" The older boy sat up beside him. But he didn't answer; he just continued his stare straight into the woods. The other one put his arms around the one with auburn hair, gently pulling him down onto his back. "Come on, Roy. At least lay down with me?"
Ganondorf's target replied by turning to him, running his fingers through the boy's teal hair. As the older boy kissed the one I was focused on, I heard a quiet, low growl from beside me. I opened my eyes slightly, seeing Ganondorf with his fists clenched. I wasn't sure if he even realized he was doing so. To avoid losing my concentration, I closed my eyes again and went back to the image. But it didn't last much longer, because Ganondorf stopped it as soon as his target began touching the other boy.
"That's enough," he growled, and began pacing over a small region of the turf. I stopped the image as he told me to, and watched him. "We have to get rid of him."
"Who?" I asked, speaking for the first time since we left the fort.
"The... Other one. The one he was with," he mumbled as he continued pacing. "We can't do anything tomorrow; they're prepared for an attack, so we should keep distance then. Once his guard is down..."
"How are we going to do this?" I continued, not sure why he wanted to get rid of him in the first place.
He stopped for a minute, looking up to me. "Kill him," he replied in a solid tone.
It seemed futile to ask, but I tried anyway. "Why?"
He sighed heavily and set his eyes up to the sky. "He's the one who got him out the first time... I won't let it happen again. He could become a problem."
I nodded my head once, satisfied with his response. I did learn to consider everything he said twice, but I knew there was nothing I could do to get a different answer; and if I did, how honest would that one be? I wasn't sure if this man was trustworthy, but I didn't seem to have any other options. He kept a lot to himself, but it could become too much. The mission he had assigned me to was pretty much terrorizing that boy. But what could that boy have done that would mean setting the entire mission around him? It just didn't seem to make sense...
