Chapter 7.

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

A month had passed since Elin had first seen Tom and I jump through the portal. We had made her swear not to tell anyone, and she hadn't. Of course I could've just erased her memory, but I didn't. She had later on learned of my, what I had come to call, Schizophrenia. She was amazed at first, but she started adapting to me having conversations with myself.

Incidentally, she had also requested to join the team. I had told her that she would have to learn some kind of self-defense, but that didn't seem to bother her. Once I had introduced her to my weapons, she took a liking to katanas. She told me that that was her weapon of choice. So I got some titanium and made her one. I also taught her to fight with it. We had regular practice fights, while Tom practiced his shooting accuracy.

I had produced Tom, Elin and myself arsenals to choose from. Mine consisted of my usual weapons, a long battle rod, and a sword that I invented myself, that looks somewhat like a badminton racket; Somewhat big, but light enough for use. In fact, badminton was where I got the idea. I was waving my badminton racket about, and I noticed that it would be quite an effective weapon, and voilà! I liked to use different combinations of them, like for instance my whip sword and badminton sword combined. It was slightly slower than my deafult weapons, but did more damage. I usually hid my badminton sword in my badminton racket cover when out in the open with it. I just had to make sure no one saw the sword's hilt.

Tom's arsenal consisted of his two pistols, a shotgun, and as for the third, I decided he should get himself a short-range weapon, and I asked him what he would like:

"A baseballbat."

"WHAT?"

"You heard me. I want a baseball bat."

"Don't you want something a little more effective?"

"A baseball bat is effective enough."

And so Tom's third weapon came to be a baseball bat.

As for Elin, in addition to her katana, I got her a pair of elbowblades, (for those of you who don't know, they're like a policeofficer's beatingstick, but with blades. See Talim in Soul calibur 2. I think she's in 1 as well, but I don't know.) and a pair of 40 cm long daggers. (Think Elektra from DareDevil.)

I had also started learning to fight with Mewtwo's body. Well actually there wasn't much learning involved. I simply asked Mewtwo to open up that part of his mind and voilà. I knew everything he did concerning fighting in his body.

***********************************************************************

Together we had decided that we should go to some dimension where we knew what's going on and what to expect. And so I let Tom and Elin decide where we'd go, and they agreed upon The Lord Of The Rings dimension. We could also get some fighting experience there, fighting orcs. And so we gathered our things, Elin grabbing her katana and daggers, strapping the daggers to her waist as backup. Tom took his baseballbat and shotgun, and I took my whipsword and knife, both of which I sheathed, and my battle rod.

When we were all set up, I cast the portal stone and we jumped in.

***********************************************************************

"I'm starvin'. We ain't had nothing to eat but maggoty bread for three stinking days!"

"Yeah. Why can't we 'ave some meat? ..........What about them? They're fresh!"

"They are not for eating!"

"What about their legs? They don't need them!"

"Forget them! Look at those!"

"Easy meat, boys!"

We stared at the mob of orcs before us, who had seemingly noticed us, and were rapidly approaching. "Get ready, people!"

Tom pulled out his shotgun and fired one round at the orcs. One fell over in a black, slimy heap. The others looked at him, confused. Tom fired another round, another died. Tom turned to the leader. He pulled the trigger and... 'Click'. There was a long silence. Tom pulled again. Another click. The orcs, one by one, started laughing.

"How many times have I told you not to blow all you shells at the shooting range?"

"Evidently not enough times."

"Whatever guys, they're pissed."

We turned back to the orcs, who were now charging forth. Tom pulled out his baseball bat, I held my battle rod in a prepared stance, and Elin unsheathed her katana. We waited patiently for the orcs to get to us. At this point, I said a few pre-battle words to Tom and Elin:

"Whatever you do, don't die."

At the wave of orcs reached our group, I saw Tom whack an orc over the head with his baseball bat, Elin slice off the sword arm of an attacking orc, as I myself thrust the end of my rod into the face of my attacker as hard as I could. I didn't have time to watch over Tom and Elin as I proceeded to another orc, whirling the rod around, then giving an orc a sharp whack in the neck with the end. I started whirling the rod around with a great speed, keeping all attackers away, and then I ducked and turned a whole 360 degree turn with the rod thrust out, knocking all those around me to the ground, and after beating a few of the grounded orcs aroung, I thrust the rod into the ground and unsheathed my swords.

I whipped the whip around the neck of an orc, and pulled him to me, thrusting the dagger into his stomach, them threw him at another orc, who landed on his own sword, ending his miserable life.

The fighting went on, and soon the pile of orcs was becoming considerably small, then there was only on left. It was then that I saw the two hobbits crawling on the ground near the fight.

"......Crap."

I turned around and telekinetically stopped Elin's sword from slicing off the last orc's head. "Stop!"

All went quiet and Elin looked at me with a puzzled expression. "What?"

"He must be spared. This is the pile of orcs taking Merry and Pippin to Isengard. The riders are supposed to kill them."

".............................................................Whoops."

"Exactly. But don't worry. I'll just input the correct memories into the minds of the hobbits, the riders, and this chap."

"Why him?"

"Because he get's killed by Treebeard."

"Oh, I see."

"Now, if you could wait for a second..." I trailed off as I concentrated on introducing the memories into the minds of the appropriate people. When I was finished, I knew we had to get out before we messed up the plot any more.

I sheathed my swords and retrieved my battle rod, then cast the portal stone, but decided that we didn't need to go home yet, but could go somewhere else on the way. Somewhere fun...

***********************************************************************

"You call this fun?!?"

"Well, um..."

"Methinks that stone needs fixing."

"Heads up!"

What we saw when we looked up was beyond words.

"Now that's what I like to call a big pile of twigs."

Well, not quite. Anyway, what we looked up at was just that. But it had a shape. It was like all the twigs in a large forest had gathered together to form a very large dinosaur. It was like a T-rex standing upright, but ten times bigger.

"Oh, great."

"What?"

"I know what this is. I've seen it in a movie."

"What movie?"

"The fourth Pokémon movie."

"What?!?! Why did you watch it?"

I shrugged. "Temporary insanity? Anyway that big pile of dead hay is Celebi, see you can see the glow at the top? That's it, and the buckethead on top controls it. Think Giovanni wannabe. Anyway, the 'Ash and friends' twerps'll take care of this, so we can just-" I was cut off by a loud bang and I saw the Giovanni wannabe buckethead thump to the ground not far from us. There was a large hole in his head, which would commonly be known as a bullet hole. "Wait a minute. This didn't happen in the movie."

I turned up to the twig monster. What I saw on top of it made my blood boil.

***********************************************************************

"Thanks, you've done a wonderful job, but I'll take it from here." Said the man as he holstered the still smoking .44 magnum revolver. Now. This ought to do it. Now I'll just tell it to let the pile fall apart and take the thing itself back with me. I think this ought to fetch a nice amount of money and fame..." He left his sentence unfinished when he heard the voice from down below, filled with rage and fury:

"MASON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

***********************************************************************

I just lost control. When I saw my worst enemy, the one who imprisoned me, the heartless power hungry swine who was now after Celebi, who he thought could fetch a nice price, I felt my rage take over. I started to levitate, with my psychic aura flaming around me. I heard startled cries from Tom and Elin as my eyes turned black, with only the little white dot in the middle.

As I gained altitude, Mason turned to me, and I smelled his fear. He yelled out a command to Celebi, but I couldn't hear. I could feel myself slipping into madness. The twig monster surrounding Celebi reared up and seemed to collect up energy in its mouth. Then it fired a white beam from its mouth, aiming it straight at me. It shone so brightly that everyone had to cover their eyes as to not be blinded. But not me. The blue glow in my eyes blinded me from everything except my target.

Acting on instinct which I didn't even have, I raised a barrier in front of myself, not even doing it. It was the madness. I lost all sense of reason, and only my rage remained. As the beam impacted on the barrier, the light flashed even brighter, but still I kept my eye contact with the creature. The beam was deflected by the glowing blue wall of energy, sending it back at its source. It hit the creature with such force that it sent the thing flying backward into the forest, knocking down the trees in a 100 meter radius. I charged up an energy ball, but just as everyone though I was going to toss it, I did nothing. The others watched as the energy ball grew to twice its normal size, then four times its normal size.

Now I tossed it at the creature that was struggling to get up, and it hit it at full speed. The explosion that followed was probably seen miles away, and once the dust and debris had cleared, everyone could see that only the head of the twig creature temained, with an exhausted Celebi crawling out of the mouth.

Now I turned to Mason, just in time to see him disappear into a portal, seeing it snap shut after him. I let out a roar of fury and frustration, and started flying straight upward. Intent on using up enough energy to return to normal, I thought my locked up conciousnes was momentarily in control, but then I realised that my raged self was going to burn up energy out of fury and anger. Once I was at high altitude, I let rip. Blue power surrounded me with a kilometer's radius. Blue tendrils of power wormed through the air away from the center, me. If anything had been in the range of the aura, it would have been incinerated instantly. Powered by fury and adrenaline, I applied more power and sent a shockwave all around myself.

Down below everyone was knocked to the ground by the shockwave from up above. Trees swayed and rocks flew. Then it ended, and all became quiet. The large blue energy cloud had disappeared, and Tom and Elin could see a human sized figure falling from where it had been. Panic stricken by the thought of their friend hitting the ground after such a fall, but unable to do anything, Tom and Elin watched as the figure fell, lower, lower, falling toward the lake in the middle of the forest, a few meters from the surface of the water, Loren's body glowed blue, and his fall stopped suddenly, not like hitting a wall, but decelerating extremely quickly, Loren's body stopped right above the surface, sending foot-high waves along the water in every direction, making small splashing noises as they hit the shores.

Suddenly Loren's body mutated and became that of Mewtwo, and he seemed concious. Mewtwo seemed used up and tired as he levitated toward the shore, collapsing on the beach with a thump.

Tom and Elin ran to their friend's other half and turned him on his back. Mewtwo opened his eyes and, using his last strength, telepathed to them: ~I must teach him not to use too much power. He is now unconcious, and I am tired. Use the portal stone. Take us where we can rest safely.~ Then he fainted. Tom looked at him, pondering how they were going to carry their 100 kilogram friend through a portal. Suddenly Tom had an idea. "Stand back." He said to Elin, then took out the portal stone.

He cast it next to Mewtwo, and the black doorway opened, but under Mewtwo. Tom then pointed his hands at the portal, then lifted them, and at the same time, the portal rose higher, swallowing up Mewtwo. Then he moved it slightly to the side and jumped in himself, followed by Elin.

***********************************************************************

The first feeling I felt was my head aching. I was lying in a cold rock surface, and I could sense Mewtwo in my head, but he seemed somehow not present. I opened my eyes. I saw a stone wall above me. I was in a cave. But where? "Unghhh.... Where am I?" I said and sat up. Tom and Elin were sitting next to me, evidently waiting for me to wake up.

"In a cave. We brought you to rest here."

"Cool. What happened? All I remember it there was that twig monster and the buckethead Giovanni wannabe."

"Errr..." Tom started. He proceeded to tell me exactly what happened, in great detail. At the end, I was amazed and annoyed. Amazement from learning about losing control, and annoyed that Mason got away. "So if I wanna find him I'm gonna just have to keep searching until I run into him. Once 'Two comes to, I could do a mind search, but it only works in this dimension. Telepathy doesn't reach to other dimensions."

Just then I felt Mewtwo's presence in my head again, meaning that he had woken. I immediately bombarded him with questions once I knew he was alright. {Why did I lose control like that?}

[You became so enraged that you slipped into madness. The same madness as when you do not use my power. Speaking of which, you must learn not to use too much power. What you used earlier was an attack which instantly incinerates anything it touches. Usually I use with a small diameter, but you used a very large one, virtually burning energy. The final shockwave drained the last of our energy. You fainted, but I, being stronger, was able to save us from the fall before fainting.]

{So what you're saying is no burning energy in too big proportions?}

[Yes.]

{Okay. I'll do what I can. Good thing I usually have good nerves. I won't be going mad too easily.}

Mewtwo remained silent now. I turned to Tom and Elin and told them what I had just learned.

".........Well I'd better make sure no-one pisses you off, eh?"

"Absolutely." Elin's stomach grumbled. "Could we get back? I'm getting hungry."

"Sure. Anyone else?" Tom lifted his hand, I lifted both, earning weird looks from the others. "What? I'm only lifting one of them. Two's controlling the other."

"My mistake." Tom said.

"Well, we're only human."

"What is all this 'we' stuff?"
