KawaiiGameFreak: Sorry for the wait. Before you ask this is going to be a lot like chapter one, but with a bit more detail and a different POV. I'll reply to all your reviews in chapter 15. On with the fic!
Ch14.5:How This All Became
MEWTWO'S POV
I'm still trying to comprehend what happened all those months ago. One moment I was staring at the sky, the next I'm in some alternate dimension. It gives me headache just thinking about it.
FLASHBACK
It was a clear, starry night. No breezes blew, no sounds could be heard, all was peaceful. Moments like this are rare around the mansion. The Smash Mansion is basically a 20 story building surrounded by woods. The battlefields were a long ways from the mansion; they were moved since Marth tossed a bomb-om through Roy's bedroom window last month. The Smash Tournament was a 4 month test of battle skills with a prize of 2 million of the winner's currency. People came from different worlds just to compete, and between the mansion and the battlefields, were the portals. The portals lead to the worlds that everyone came from, they were basically giant metal hoops that opened and closed at the push of a button, but one portal was different. It was etched in a large stone wall ever since anyone could remember and it's never opened once. No one knows where it leads, but everyone thinks it leads to a place called Earth. After star gazing for a few minutes, Kirby, Pichu and Yoshi ran out of the house and towards the portals. Being the person I am, I followed just above them. The portal field was just a circle of metals rings with the mysterious stone portal in the middle. "I wonder how this opens." Pichu pondered. "We've tried everything twice."
"Maybe if you hit it hard enough, it'll open!" Yoshi cried. On queue, the trio bombarded the stone door with all they could. They did this every night, and every night I followed them. I don't know why, but it feels like that portal leads to something spectacular, maybe even life changing. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a rumble of thunder roared across the field. That was soon followed by rain, hail and flashes of lightning, winds blowing at blinding speeds, but not a cloud in the sky. In fact, the stars were twice was bright as before.
"This storm's freaky…I WANNA GO HOME!" Yoshi slapped Pichu out of his panic attack while Kirby watched in amazement at the show the sky was putting on.
"Snap out of it! We are going to open this portal if it's the last thing we…" Yoshi's words were cut off by a deafening crash of thunder and a flash of lighting striking the portal. All of us watched in wonder as the portal opened in a burst of light and color. "…do?" I almost swear I heard a voice as the portal opened, it was saying something like "I wish that all the characters I have in Super Smash Brothers Melee would come here." As the voice hushed, Kirby went flying into the portal. Pichu grabbed Kirby's hands and Yoshi grabbed Pichu's feet. I teleported back to the mansion to get help and saw Link waiting for me. Link was just about the only friend I had around here, I didn't mind though, I prefer being alone.
"Where've you been all night? Everyone's waiting to play poker."
"The stone portal's open."
"…beg pardon?"
"The stone portal that supposedly leads to Earth, it opened and now Pichu, Yoshi and Kirby are getting sucked in as we speak!"
"Well why didn't you say so? I was going to win anyway." He ran inside and hollered on the intercom. "ATTENTION EVERYONE! REPORT TO THE PORTAL FIELD NOW! THE STONE PORTAL HAS OPENED! I REPEAT, THE STONE PORTAL HAS OPENED!" Everyone rushed outside and ran to the portal field while Zelda and I teleported ahead. Yoshi was struggling to keep Pichu and Kirby from being pulled in. "Everyone, PULL!" Link grabbed Yoshi's feet and a chain was formed with Bowser and Donkey Kong at the end. Everybody pulled with all their might, but someone behind me tripped causing me to fall over and the domino effect was soon taking place. Almost everybody dove face first into the portal. The group of people landed in a heap on a hard wood floor. I turned around to see a small window, with Donkey Kong and Bowser's heads stuck inside. Link sighed. "Shove 'um back." Everyone pushed on the beasts' heads and got them back out. We were about to jump back when we saw Gannondorf and Mr. Game & Watch running towards the portal.
"YOU OWE ME 100 RUPEES, LINK!"
"Beep beep." They were about to jump through, when the window went black.
"…kindly explain what just happened." Fox mumbled. I looked around the room. The walls were painted a light beige with random sheets of paper and plastic cases covering the floor. Two beanbag chairs, one in red, one in blue, were in front of the television we just came out of. The TV was held up by a shelf with a cube shaped black box on the bottom. A small desk was on the opposite wall with a spinning chair in front and some papers with numbers, letters and symbols on it.
"How in the name of Slippy Toad did we get here?" Falco muttered.
"We just got sent through the stone portal…but how'd it open?" Nana pondered.
"Maybe it's 'cause of the storm going on outside." I looked out the small window. A storm identical to the one back at the mansion was taking place outside. Maybe that means the two worlds, here and where we just were, are intertwined somehow. "We never have storms this bad in Hyrule."
"Maybe he did it!" Peach hollered, pointing at Pichu, "He and the other two actually try and open the portal every night!"
"Stop blaming my friend!" Pikachu barked.
"Peach, it is useless to point fingers."
"You're just saying that because he's one of you." Mario retorted.
"How can he be one of me? He was born into this world, I was not."
"Here we go again." Link rolled his eyes in annoyance, "Why are you always going off on mood swings?"
"I don't go off on mood swings."
"Yes you do."
"Forget it; let's just figure out how to get back and…"
"A person!" Pichu exclaimed, pointing to the small crack in the door. "I saw a person! Follow me!" He ran out the door as Zelda, Young Link, Ness and I followed. I soon saw what Pichu was talking about. A dark figure was running away from us. It ran into the kitchen and ran around a corner. Ness came racing over the stairs and smacked into the water cooler, spilling water everywhere. Everyone slipped on the water and crashed into the wall.
"Danm it! It's frozen!" That voice! I swear I heard that voice before! It ran back around and headed to another door. "Danm it! This can't be happening!" While Ness fixed the cooler, the rest of us followed the person down a short hallway. It ran into a room, slammed the door and locked it.
"What was that all about?"
"No idea, Zel, maybe one of us can go in and see who or what that was." All eyes turned to Pichu. Zelda picked the lock, shoved Pichu in and slammed the door shut. We listened carefully and heard "It's just a dream, it's just a dream, it's just a…ZZZZZZZZZZ." Zelda slowly opened the door and saw Pichu curled up on the bed. She flipped on the lights. The room was painted blue with white shelves lined with stuffed toys of all kinds. Junk, junk and more junk lined the red carpeted floor. The bed was blue, yellow and green, with a black hat on one post and four metals on the other. "Hey look. It's that thing we were chasing." I approached the bed, and saw the 'it' we were chasing, was a 'she'. She was sound asleep, her dark brown hair hung over her face and Pichu curled up in her arms. For some reason, the word 'beautiful' came to mind.
"Stupid cooler!" We turned around to see a soaking wet and pissed off Ness. "Who's that?"
"We don't know."
"Let me read her mind!" Ness snapped. He closed his eyes and concentrated. "Hmmm, can't get a name…we're in a place called 'New Found Land'…and…she thinks Young Link is kawaii, whatever that means."
"Let me try, I could at least get a name." I focused. "…Her name's Laura, wherever 'here' is, it's on Earth…"
"EARTH?" Zelda shrieked, "I thought Earth was just a myth."
"I guess it's not, now let me focus." Her mind was very easy to read, like an open book. While browsing her head, I came across a very interesting memory. It was a conversation with her and some other girl.
"Why do you think he's a bad guy?" Laura shouted. I could hear an engine going in the background, so I assumed they were in a car.
"He tried to destroy the world! Anyone who tries to wipe out all the people in the world is a bad guy in my book."
"Well he became a good guy in the end." I was starting to become intrigued in this conversation. Who were they talking about?
"He was made to do bad things which makes him a bad guy! Not to mention he turned Ash into stone." That name rings a bell.
"He never meant to! Why can't you just accept the fact that Mewtwo's a good guy?" They were talking about me? And this Earth girl thought I was a good guy, even though she seems to know enough about me to think otherwise?
"Why are you defending him like that…you like him, don't ya?"
"THAT'S IT, ALECIA! GET READY FOR A BUTT WHOOPIN'!" I couldn't see anything, but I heard a crash, then brakes, and screams of things like 'Let go of my hair!', 'Stop biting me!'
"All right you two, I just took you to a movie that both of you liked so you better thank me and behave on the way back." Said a stern voice, who I assumed to be one of the girl's fathers…did he just say they went to a movie? My origin is a movie in this world? This is weirder then I thought.
"Well…what'd ya get?"
"She knows absolutely nothing about the portal, but seems to know a lot about us. It appears that in this world, our lives are turned into things like cartoons, movies and 'video games' whatever they are."
"Awesome!" Young Link shouted, "I get a movie!"
"I don't know who'd want to make one of you though." I muttered under my breath. "We'll just have to sleep here and hope for the best tomorrow." Everyone went downstairs, though I lingered in the room a bit longer. "Who are you?"
I teleported downstairs to find that the younger ones were sleeping on the pull out sofa. I explored the house a while trying to find something that would open the portal. As I passed by a shelf of movies, one of them caught my eye and I pulled it out. I was shocked to find myself on the cover. I flipped it over and looked at the special features. "The Uncut Story of Mewtwo's Origin" was one of the features. "Maybe this was the movie she was talking about." I thought about putting it on, but I decided against it. After all, I already knew quite enough about my origin. I put the case back on the shelf and teleported to the back room. "Any luck?"
"Nope. We've tried everything times 386 but nothing's worked…though we did find this." Link held up a case with Mario, Bowser, Pikachu and Link on the front, along with smaller images of Ness, Zelda, Samus, Peach, Nana, Popo, Falcon, Yoshi, Donkey Kong and Kirby on the sides. "It looks like a video game called "Super Smash Brothers Melee". It shows most of us on the front but the rest aren't even mentioned."
"Let's get some rest and figure this out in the morning. We might be stuck here for a while so just make the best of it." I formed a shield around myself and fell asleep.
THE NEXT MORNING
"BEEP! Why the BEEP did my BEEPING alarm clock wake me up so bloody early? It's 5 in the morning! School don't start 'till 8:30." Was the first thing we heard that morning, followed by shouts of "Stupid evil language teachers!" and "BEEP I forgot to do that page in math, sir's gonna kill me."
"HEY!" Young Link hollered, "Who's up there doin' all the cursin'?"
"Shut the BEEP up!" I was starting to like this girl.
"We don't need anymore noise at this hour of the morning, thank you very much." Suddenly Pichu came racing into the room with a large bruise on his head. "What happened to you?"
"She threw me at her alarm clock! She's crazy I tell you, CRAZY!"
"…I might question your sanity also."
"That's not very nice; by the way she's passed out by the stairs." With that, he ran out of the room.
"What just happened?" Fox yawned.
"Nothing of importance."
"Oh…good night." Fox fell right back on the beanbag chair and fell asleep.
"Dear sweet Ho oh," I thought, "if I have to be stuck here with these weirdoes any longer then need be, kill me."
20 MINUTES LATER
"Mud slinger!"
"Girly priss!"
"CAT FIGHT!" That was the straw that broke the numel's back. I marched out to see Peach and Samus in a free for all fight to the finish. This was all too routine. I picked them up and put them back down, ending the battle.
"If you think I'm going to listen to this for an hour and a half, think again. It's five thirty in the morning, even I need sleep and I don't think the others will appreciate the racket either. By the way, do you realize there is another shower out there?" I pointed to the back room.
"…MINE!" They both ran passed me and made a mad scramble to the bathroom. As the two less then sane girls ran to the back room, my attention turned to Laura. She looked liked she'd just seen a haunter. Her skin was quite pale, her blue eyes struck with fear. I approached her, she backed off. I tried again, she backed off. On the third try, she raced up the stairs, but was stopped by a barrier.
"LETMEGOLETMEGOLETMEGO!" She screeched as she pounded on the invisible wall. It seemed as though she was scared of me, though I'm not surprised. "Please don't hurt me!"
"Why would I do that?" She stopped trying to break the wall and looked at me. There was something in her eyes that seemed pure and innocent, but her mouth proved otherwise.
"What'd you say?"
"Why would you think I would hurt you without reason?"
"…well, it's just I…you…"
"My appearance?" She nodded. "Perfectly understandable, I get that reaction a lot."
"No no, I never meant it like that, it's just, I didn't expect video game characters to just pop up outta nowhere." I heard chuckles from behind me. "WHAT'S SO FUNNY?"
"Your accent," Ness sputtered, "it's hysterical!"
"Hrph, seeing as you've probably never heard a Newfoundland accent, I'll let you off with a warning, but say another word 'bout it and I'll…get one of my friends to kill you." They shut up. "Good, now anyone like Simple Plan?" No response was heard. "Well too bad, cuz it will be on bust for the remainder of the morning." She calmly walked over to nearby computer and suddenly ridiculously loud electric guitars bellowed out of the speakers.
"Sweet Din's Fire! What on wherever we are is this?"
"You're on Earth, and it's called music." It was strange. This girl, I felt like there was an invisible line connecting us. I brushed off the feeling and walked upstairs to avoid my ear drums exploding. I spent the next hour and a half meditating in her room, the farthest place from the racket. A knock was heard on the door. "Open up, please." I did as was told. "Thanks, anyway, I just wanted to apologize for earlier on. I never meant to judge you based on your looks, sorry."
"Apology accepted, now before I forget, why am I a 'good guy'?"
"What?"
"When I read your mind, I heard you arguing with someone, and you thought I was a 'good guy', why?"
"You read my mind?"
"Yes, last night hen we arrived, now kindly answer my question."
"…it's just that, well, I believe everyone has good in them and deserves a second chance, no matter who they are. That was years ago anyways, in like, 1999, so don't go thinkin' the wrong things, kk?" I nodded, though I'm not quite sure what she meant by 'the wrong things'. "Later." She walked away. I wasn't sure at the time why, but I felt like this girl was far more then she appeared to be.
