In a remote region of Johto......

"Curse it all!" swore Giovanni. "I almost had her! What went wrong?!" He looked at his battered force, but only got equally confused looks back.

"Much of the equipment is still salvageable," reported Domino. "We can still continue our pursuit of Celebitwo."

"Head back to headquarters and arrange it!" ordered Giovanni.

Goldenrod City.......

Both clones had drifted asleep. But sleep was no refuge. Dark dreams hunted them there, dreams about the past, present, or future, or even about a disturbed subconscious, it was hard to say. But the dream was always the same.

Things seemed to be going good. It was a beautiful day and they seemed perfectly safe. But a lone cloud drifted across the sky, blocking out a portion of the sun. It was so little, it didn't seem worth the concern.

But that tiny cloud grew. Soon, too soon, it was a huge dark thunder cloud. It covered the entire sky. The storm began, furious and harsh. The wings clawed at the landscape and hail pelted the earth. There was no shelter to be found. So the sleeping clones did what they could to fend it off.

But that storm was the least of their worries. The cloud in the sky, the once tiny cloud, was growing stronger. It grew blacker and more ominous by the second. It was getting so big that it filled the sky and began to descend to earth. At first it looked like a cyclone. No, there were three cyclones. But it was more than that. The cyclones seemed to form three claws, a terrible hand. They reached for the dreamers, trying to corner them and crush them

The winds wailed all the louder. But then, over the winds a small voice was carried. It was barely audible, but once it was heard it was impossible to forget. The voice only said one phrase, but its tone couldn't be more serious.

"They're coming, get away! They're coming, get away! They are coming, get away!"

Both clones jumped awake that night, clearly shaken.

{What was that?} asked Celitwo, nervously.

{What was what?} asked Mewtwo, who had already pushed it off as a dream.

{That storm..... So cold..... so......} she shuddered.

{A dream....} he answered, simply. Then he straighten up. {The same one I had.}

{They are coming......get away.....} repeated Celitwo. {What does that mean......? I think I know......}

{If we both had the same dream I doubt it was a dream,} said Mewtwo, nervously. He was saying this mostly for his own benefit. {A warning..... but a warning of what?}

{Someone was trying to warn us..... I almost think I know who.... but I don't know the name.....} muttered Celitwo, who was chasing a faint thought around her mind.

{What is the threat?} asked Mewtwo.

{I know!} gasped Celitwo, leaping up. Her strength had returned enough so she didn't collapse.

{What is it?} asked Mewtwo.

{That voice.....} she said, trying to word her idea. {Another..... I don't think we are alone....... I think that was another.......clone.}

AN/ Poetry time again! This will (maybe) be the last one. I again disclaim this one (it is a tad too romantic for what I am trying to convey, but it is a good poem, just over look that fact). I got it off of a wallpaper for Clover by CLAMP. Great series, though it is a bit of a tragedy. It is only 4 short mangas, so I'd recommend anyone with the time to read it. I also still have the wallpaper I got this poem off of, so if you want it, e-mail me or tell me in a review with your e-mail.

"Yesterday"

I follow the night.... Can't stand the light....
When will I begin..... to live again?
One day I'll fly away.... leave all this to yesterday....
What more could your love do for me?....
When will love be through with me?
Why live life from dream to dream?.... And dread the day when dreaming
ends?
One day I'll fly away.... leave all this to yesterday.
Why live life from dream to dream?.... And dread the day when dreaming
ends?
One day I'll fly away
Fly, fly
Away.
