"A giant beast, controlled by the villains, stomps through the city and causes massive destruction."

Sorry for the long wait. School work is getting up my nerves and I don't have time to write. So here's the next chapter!

Chapter 29: The Giant Monster Awakens, Possessed by the Darkling!

Out on the sea not far from the harbor of Yokohama, a lone boat is floating there. On the boat is a single-parent family, consisting of father and son, and they both are fisherman. They have cast their net there for hours, and no fish is caught. "We've been fishing for hours, dad…" the son says to his father. "When will there be fish?"

"Fishing requires patience, my son," the father replies. "It is a way of training your patience."

Immediately after saying this, their sonar equipments start reacting. "It seems that a big fish is approaching," says the father. "Get ready to haul up the net!"

Suddenly, something emerges from the sea and carries the boat up high above it! The two fishermen scream their head out upon being taken into the air all of a sudden. Their boat cannot balance on top of the thing and plummets into the water below. Another fisherman at the harbor sees the thing that rose from the sea and screams in fear. "It's… it's…"

The thing lets out a loud and earth-shaking roar.

"GODZILLA!"

Everyone at the harbor screams and run for their life.

Godzilla swims toward dry land and walks onto it. He swings his tail at a nearby dock and smashes it into pieces. He continues moving forward and crushes the vehicles and buildings under his feet. His terrifying appearance alone has scared thousands of people who see him.

-

The appearance of Godzilla has been reported to the Japan Self Defense Force (JSDF). "What! Godzilla has risen again!" gasps the general. "Quick! Dispatch all jets and battle tanks at once!"

At his command, all the war machines set off from their base and head for Godzilla, who is now trampling through the city of Yokohama. He carelessly smashes through the buildings and mercilessly crushes the poor citizens below his feet. The tanks and jets came and fire their weapons at him, but none of them annoyed the king of monsters at all.

A jet pilot reports back to the base, "Our attacks are not working against Godzilla."

"Hit harder!" replies the general. "Hit it from a correct angle and aim for wherever his weak spot might be!"

"Yes sir!"

The jets fire more missiles at Godzilla. The king of monsters is getting annoyed at those 'flies'. His dorsal spikes begin to emit purple light, he slowly opens his mouth and purple energy can be seen churning in his throat, and then he lets loose a large and powerful purple beam at the jets, blasting them into pieces. He looks down at the tanks and blasts them with the beam also.

"What!" exclaims the general, who is looking at the scene from the base. "How come his Heat Beam is purple? It was always blue in the past!"

"We have scanned him and found out some interesting thing," says the navigator. "If you look closely at his eye, it is glowing with a purple light."

"You're right!" replies the general. "His eyes are indeed purple! But how come?"

"And besides nuclear energy running throughout his body, we also detected another unknown energy inside him."

Suddenly, another soldier comes to the general and reports to him, "Sir, there are new threats in Yokohama besides Godzilla!"

"What is it?"

"Strange black creatures about the size of humans are appearing in great numbers and are killing whoever they see!"

"What!"

The creatures the soldier said are none of than the Darkling. When Godzilla have destroyed and left a certain area, Darkling appear all over that place and hunt down any survivors they see. There are also winged Darkling flying through the sky, attacking the jets that are annoying Godzilla. There are even some going for the tanks.

"From what we saw those creatures doing, we can assume that they are on Godzilla's side!" says the soldier.

"We must shoot them down!" commands the general.

"We have tried, but our weapons are not affecting them! Our tanks shot those creatures with missiles, but it didn't kill them at all!"

"How come this be!"

-

In the hidden base, Yamatoman and his henchmen watch Godzilla's attack through a TV screen happily. "Everything is going as planned," says Yamatoman. "Now let Godzilla go to Tokyo and kill them!"

"Who?" replies one of his henchmen.

"The Smashers, of course!"

-

In Tokyo, the news of Godzilla hasn't reached there yet. The Smashers are cleaning up Cat Café after Thundon and Bob Fungus had messed it up. "Why must we clean up this mess?" grumbles Falco while picking up debris. "We didn't even ruin the café!"

"We don't have Japanese currency, so we have to work to pay for what we have ordered," Samus, who is sweeping the floor, tells him.

"You should've thought of it earlier! And speaking, where's Mewtwo?"

"I think he went off somewhere alone," replies Dr. Mario while cleaning the windows.

"That Pokemon… How dare he escape without us…?"

"Get working!" Cologne shouts at them. "You'll have to make up for not being able to pay for your meals!"

"All right…" mumbles Falco as he gets back to work, but slips on the slippery floor that was just wiped by Nana.

-

Mewtwo is in a peaceful and quiet park, sitting alone on a bench. "So Master Hand is right. There are people more powerful than me in this world…

-

FLASHBACK

Mewtwo is standing on a tall rock, overlooking the view before him. "Nobody in this world can overcome me. I am the ultimate Pokemon! No… The most powerful being in the universe! Whoever dares challenge me, come out now!"

As soon as he says this, the ground bursts open and several large Pokemon appear. To name few, they are Rhydon, Tyranitar, Steelix, and a whole lot more.

"You will all fall before me!" says Mewtwo. He jumps to the group of Pokemon and begins fighting them. A Steelix charges at Mewtwo, but Mewtwo stops his movement just by pointing at him! He lifts up the Steelix using telekinesis and hurls him at the other Pokemon, knocking them all out. A Rhydon charges up to Mewtwo and tries to hit him with Horn Drill. Mewtwo floats up and flies over the Rhydon, then he fires a powerful beam from his eye and blasts the Rhydon. A giant Tyranitar sneaks up from behind and slams his fist down on Mewtwo, but the psychic Pokemon quickly teleports away just before the fist hits him. The Tyranitar sees Mewtwo appearing a few feet ahead of him, so he opens his mouth and charges up a powerful beam.

"Hyper Beam… One of the most powerful move to exist…" Mewtwo thought to himself. The Tyranitar fires the large colorful beam at Mewtwo. Mewtwo activates a psychic barrier to protect himself. When the beam hits the barrier, it bounces back to the Tyranitar! The beam hits the Tyranitar and blasts it off a cliff, making him plummet to his doom below.

"Nobody can defeat me," says Mewtwo. "I AM the strongest!"

"Do you really think so?" says a voice. "What right do you have to claim that you are the strongest?"

Mewtwo turns around and sees a giant white hand behind him. "Who are you?"

"I am Master Hand," the hand replies. "And I am not glad to hear you boasting about your strength with pride."

"It is fact that I am the strongest! You know nothing!"

"Yes, you are strong, but you do not have the right to call yourself the strongest."

"Shut your mouth! I will show you!" Mewtwo charges up Shadow Ball and launches it at Master Hand, but the hand simply swats the ball away like a fly! Mewtwo flies into the air and fires a psychic beam at MH, but the hand avoids it by flying into the air. MH closes into a fist and punches Mewtwo hard, sending the psychic Pokemon back onto the ground. Mewtwo gets up and growls angrily, and then he fires more energy beams at MH.

MH easily avoids all the beams and hits Mewtwo hard with one finger, and then he fires several bullets at the Pokemon. Mewtwo did not have time to avoid them, so the bullets hit him dead on, creating a large explosion. After the explosion dies down, Mewtwo steps out from the smoke, badly wounded. He coughs out some blood and says, "Impossible… You cannot defeat me!" He charges at MH to attack him, but the hand punches Mewtwo hard and knocks him out.

"Now you see?" MH tells him. "Do you truly think you are the strongest?"

"This cannot be… I'm supposed to be the strongest creature created…"

"To tell you the truth, I do not think I am the strongest being in this world."

"What?"

"Even though I defeated you, I still do not consider myself to be powerful. Yes, I'm strong, but not the strongest."

"What are you talking about?"

"In this world, there are many powerful people. I have traveled the world and saw it with my own eyes. Some of them have the power to destroy an entire continent. But still, one cannot prove that he or she is the strongest being in the world. That is merely an opinion. Nobody in this world is the ultimate and most perfect being."

Mewtwo just kept silent and thought over it.

"You should think over this yourself," says MH as he turns around to leave, but Mewtwo stops him.

"Please, take me with you. Teach me how to become the strongest!"

"You're still thinking about that?"

"I want to become more powerful! Even though I can't be the strongest, I want to be stronger than everyone else!"

"It's your choice," says MH, and then he flies off, followed by Mewtwo.

END OF FLASHBACK

-

Mewtwo still sits on the bench, looking at the park scene to rest his mind. He sees several children playing, couples having a happy time, and a boy jogging around the park. Suddenly, he hears a scream, "Help! Somebody stop that thief!" Mewtwo sees that a thief has stolen an old woman's purse. When the thief runs near Mewtwo, he sticks out his finger and freezes the thief in place. He lifts the thief into the air and swings him around until all the stuffs in his pocket fall off, and then he slams him onto the ground.

The old woman and a police officer run up to Mewtwo and thank him. "You did a great job stopping that thief!" says the policeman. "You must be a psychic user!"

"You can say that."

"I really appreciate you for stopping the thief!" says the old woman with joy. "You must take this reward!" The old woman reaches into her purse and takes out 5000 yen. "Please take this as my gratitude!"

"You don't really have to," says Mewtwo. The old woman keeps on insisting that he should keep it, so he finally accepts it.

After the old woman and the police left, the boy who was jogging around the park walks up the bench Mewtwo is sitting and sits down next to him, panting and grasping for air, and then he starts a conversation with him. "I saw your telekinesis just now. That was pretty cool! I have never seen telekinesis in real life!"

"It's not an easy thing to learn. You'll be surprised, but I was born with it."

"You have psychic powers since you were born? Cool!"

"Yes, and it is at its maximum level. My psychic is the be-…" And then Mewtwo stops there, but then speaks on again. "My psychic is very powerful."

"Cool! People with great skills usually take a long time to learn!"

"But I'm different. Speaking of this, I saw you jogging around the park many times. Are you building up your body?"

"Yeah… I didn't really want to, but my wife-to-be is forcing me…"

"I take that you're engaged, right?"

"Yeah…"

"And at such a young age… I always wonder how married life is."

"I'm living like a married guy already… All I can say it's really tiring… She wants me to become the strongest, so she always forces me into insane trainings…"

"You should know… There is no such thing as the strongest."

"What do you mean?"

-Godzilla March theme plays­-

Godzilla had left Yokohama, which is pretty much in ruins. The king of monster stomps through the forest and hilly terrains, trampling over the trees and farmhouses. Every once in a while, he would let out a loud roar.

Punk, Pix, and Pork are sitting on top of a skyscraper somewhere in Tokyo, watching Godzilla from the distance.

"Godzilla is on his way here," says Pork.

"It's Yamatoman's plan all along," says Pix. "But isn't this method a bit too much?"

"Nothing is ever too much for a villain," Punk tells him. "To someone who wants to rule the world, this is one perfect way."

-

The other Smashers have finally cleaned up Cat Café. "You did a good job cleaning up the mess," Cologne tells them.

"Right…" says the Smashers, who are all dead tired.

"All right, you can go now. Be sure to bring the right currency next time!"

Suddenly, a helicopter is seen flying across the sky, making an announcement. "Everyone run and hide! Godzilla is seen on the northern exit of Tokyo! He will be here in about 30 minutes!"

"Godzilla!" gasp the Smashers.

"So the leviathan has awakened…" says Cologne.

"Isn't he the 100-meter tall monster who is the greatest threat of Japan?" says Fox.

"He is! Now we're done for! He is unstoppable!" cries Falco.

Nana runs to Cologne in fear and says, "Please help us! You're very strong, aren't you?"

"I'm afraid I can't," replies Cologne, shaking her head sadly. "Godzilla is far more powerful than me. There is no way I can stop him. He is the greatest mistake we humans ever made."

"You're right," says Samus sadly. "He is the result of unchecked nuclear testing. Now we have to suffer the consequences of it…"

"Don't talk about these now!" shouts Falco in panic. "What do we do!"

"Maybe we can try blasting him with the holy weapons?" asks Parry.

"Will that work?" asks Popo.

"We'll have to try!"

"It may worth a try, but I doubt you'll succeed," says a voice from above. The Smashers look up to see who is speaking, and they see Punk sitting on the awning of Cat Café!

"PUNK!" shout the Smashers. Falco pulls out his gun and points at him. Dr. Mario takes out an operation knife and points it at him. Popo and Nana raise their hammer in a defensive position.

"Calm down. I didn't say I'm going to attack you."

"What do you want, servant of Ridley!" Samus shouts at him. "Are you here to destroy us?"

"And you should be running! Godzilla is coming!" Dr. Mario tells him.

"He's not coming after me anyway," says Punk. "His target is YOU!"

"WHAT!"

"You see, under the king of Darkling's command, we have possessed Godzilla with the Darkling."

"Wait a second… You work for the king of Darkling!" gasps Fox.

"Master Ridley does, and we're just following what he told us."

"You said Godzilla is possessed by Darkling!"

"Yes; and at least a few hundred."

The Smashers' jaws drop open upon hearing this.

"And I'm afraid the holy weapons won't do any good against him too. If you really want to stop him, then your only option is to destroy the Dark Reactor."

"And where do you suppose we find it?" asks Dr. Mario.

"Ask Yamatoman; he knows something about it. I'm sure you'll find him somewhere outside Tokyo."

"Why are you telling us these? Are you secretly helping us?" asks Fox.

Before he gets an answer, Punk hops off the awning and zips off at a fast speed. "And he didn't even answer me…" mumbles Fox.

"What do we do now?" asks Popo in panic. "Where do we find Yamatoman?"

"He says he lives outside Tokyo. Looks like we'll have to search for him," says Samus.

"Say, if Godzilla is coming after us, then do you think if we go outside the city, he will still follow us?" asks Parry.

"Why do you ask?" says Samus.

"Well, if he really does follow us, then he won't come into Tokyo and destroy it! That way no innocent people or buildings will be destroyed!"

"That's a great idea, Parry," Fox tells him. "It will keep this city safe, though we are putting ourselves in danger."

"You people are brave; willing to risk your lives to rescue an entire city." says Cologne. "I appreciate it, now go and wish you luck! Godzilla is nearing the city!"

"But where is Mewtwo?" says Falco.

"Nah, leave him alone. He'll know what happened by himself," says Samus.

-

"Yeah, I kinda agree with you," says the boy. "My grandfather also told me that. Even the strongest shaman cannot prove himself truly the strongest in the universe."

"But still, that doesn't mean we should stop ourselves from becoming strong. If we can't become the strongest, we can still try to be stronger than everyone else," explains Mewtwo.

The boy looks up into the sky and stares at the floating clouds. "How I wish I can lie down on those soft and fluffy-looking clouds. Won't it be extremely relaxing?"

"Clouds cannot be touched, and I know it."

"Of course I know clouds cannot be touched, but imagine if you can."

"Kids like you always have big imagination."

"Yeah, you can say that."

"By the way, you didn't tell me your name yet. I am Mewtwo."

"I am Yoh Asakura. It's good to know you!"

Suddenly, a helicopter appears over the sky. "Reporting! Godzilla is coming nearer and nearer to Tokyo! Everyone please run for your life!"

"Godzilla!" gasps Yoh.

"I've heard of him. Is he the one that people call King of Monsters?"

"It's him! He is invincible! We cannot defeat him! All we can do is run! I must go back and tell Anna!"

"Well, I have to tell my friends too!"

-

The other Smashers are running towards the exit of Tokyo. "Faster! We must let Godzilla see us and lure him away from the city!" says Fox.

Godzilla is just a few yards away from Tokyo. People are starting to run in fear and panicking.

The 3 Space Pirates watch them from atop a building. "What do they think they're doing? Running to confront Godzilla just like that?" asks Pork.

"They want to rescue the city," Punk tells him. "Bah, why risk your own life when you can just run away?"

To make a long story short, the Smashers got out the city border in time. They continue running until Godzilla is just a few feet before them. "Hey ugly!" shouts Falco. "Are you looking for us? Come get some!"

Godzilla looks down and sees Falco taunting him. Godzilla immediately knows that he is the one he must destroy. The Smashers run away from Godzilla and past him, so the monster turns around to follow them, and then moves further away from Tokyo.

That same helicopter made a report again. "Godzilla, for some strange reason, has turned away and left! We probably don't have to worry now!"

The general watches from the HQ. "Where is Godzilla going?"

Yamatoman also watches from his base. "Pretty smart, eh? Those Smashers are willing to risk their lives to protect Tokyo. Indeed, they have a heart of gold."

Mewtwo made it back to Cat Café and meets up with Cologne, but she tells him that the Smashers have gone outside Tokyo, in hope of luring Godzilla away. She also tells him that Godzilla is possessed by Darkling, and is told to destroy the Smashers.

"Gah! I'm late! I must find them quick!" thought Mewtwo.

Just as he turns around to run, he encounters the entire Tendo and both the Saotome families. "It's you, Mewtwo!" says Soun in panic. "Did you see that? Godzilla has left the city! I was crying in fear when he was about to come and destroy our precious home!"

"Don't worry! Me and my friends can defeat Godzilla!" says Mewtwo. "No matter how powerful he is, he will never be the MOST powerful creature in the world!"

TO BE CONTINUED…

The Godzilla I am using here has the same design as the one in Godzilla 2000. Yeah, I actually like the way he looks in that movie. And yes, that Yoh is the one from Shaman King.

I hope some of you still remember Punk, Pix, and Pork. They were in my previous SSBM stories, most notably Feudal Smashers. They are Space Pirates from the Metroid series, but I made up names for those three certain SP's.

Mewtwo seems OOC, right? This is my story and I can give him whatever personality I want!
