Sorry for the wait. I needed time to come up with a long and interesting fight. It's not easy being a writer, you know.
Chapter 52: The Gratefulness of Orochimaru? Mewtwo vs. Kimimaro!"Get out of my way," Kimimaro says to Mewtwo.
"Your opponent is me, so you cannot get pass here," replies Mewtwo.
"Then I'll have to kill you." Kimimaro swings his bone stick at Mewtwo, who counters it with the Psychic Spoon.
The two of them engage in a fierce battle of weapon clashing. After much hitting back and forth, Mewtwo knocks the bone off Kimimaro's hand and proceeds to attack him. Kimimaro quickly hops back to avoid the strike and then jumps up to grab the bone in midair. He lands behind Mewtwo and strikes him, but misses as Mewtwo quickly moves away.
Kimimaro charges at Mewtwo again and thrusts the bone forward, but Mewtwo quickly moves aside and sweeps the spoon across the floor. Kimimaro responds by quickly jumping up to avoid getting his leg hit by the spoon. He back-flips away to a fair distance from Mewtwo. "This creature is a very swift one. From the way he moves around, it seems that he is psychic, as he is levitating rather then moving his feet."
"I can tell what's in your mind," says Mewtwo. "Yes, I am psychic. That makes me more superior than you. Just watch this." He charges up an energy ball in his hand and fires it at Kimimaro.
He is able to avoid it by jumping aside, but when he turns to Mewtwo, he sees that the psychic Pokemon is gone! "Where'd he go?"
Suddenly, Mewtwo appears behind him. He hits Kimimaro hard with the spoon, knocking him onto the grassy ground. Mewtwo did not stop there; he continues to smack and whack Kimimaro several times, not giving him a chance to fight back. He delivers the strongest blow by thrusting the other end of the spoon against Kimimaro's abdomen hard, sending him flying across the grassland and then rolling along like a wheel.
Kimimaro, however, is able to come to a halt on his feet. Mewtwo is, to say, a bit surprised that he can still stand after taking all those hits. "You got great endurance for a sickly person like you."
"So you can tell that I am struck with a sickness? Yes, it is as you think. Because of this, I am doing Master Orochimaru one last favor before I breathe my last. I must kill you as fast as possible." Kimimaro takes off his upper shirt, revealing a curse mark imprinted on his chest. The curse mark begins to glow in red and strange markings appear all over his body.
"That curse… I can tell that it's giving him power," Mewtwo says in his mind.
"This is a gift from Master Orochimaru. With this curse seal, I can accomplish all that he wants me to do."
"That curse will do you no good. Orochimaru does not really like you in the first place, and I can tell that. He just wants to use you for fun."
"You who have never met Master Orochimaru, you dare take him for a lowly person? I will shut your mouth this instant!" Kimimaro spreads out his fingers and shoot out sharp bone fragments. Mewtwo easily blocks them with his Psychic Spoon, and then he dashes towards Kimimaro.
Mewtwo thrusts the spoon forward to hit him in the chest, but suddenly, Kimimaro's rib bones burst out of his body and blocks the blow, acting as a shield. Mewtwo is frightened to see this. "What! He can control his bones to this extent!"
Kimimaro's left arm grows out several sharp bones and he swings it at Mewtwo, but the Pokemon quickly teleports a few steps away to avoid the hit.
"Looks like I'll have to show you the extent of my psychic powers too," says Mewtwo. "It's too late for you to regret now." A purplish aura surrounds him as he lifts up his hand into the air. As the aura glows brighter, the earth around Mewtwo lifts up from the ground and levitates in the air!
"What? He's using telekinesis to move the earth," Kimimaro says to himself. "This is the first time I see psychic in action."
Mewtwo points his finger at Kimimaro and the floating earth pieces all fly at him. Kimimaro swiftly hops around and destroys any rocks that are about to hit him. While he is busy busting the rocks, Mewtwo, with some sort of energy gathered in his right hand, appears in front of him all of a sudden and punches him hard in the body using the energy-covered fist. A flashy explosion follows and Kimimaro is hurled across the grassland.
Mewtwo once again uses his telekinesis to lift up several pieces of earth and the nearby trees, and flings them all at Kimimaro. He didn't have time to avoid all the flying obstacles, and they collide with him, burying him beneath.
CRASH! BANG!
Mewtwo puts down his hand and looks at the pile of earth and broken woods. "Finished."
"I am Master Orochimaru's most faithful servant. I must not fail to appreciate him. I will serve him as long as I live. I will never disappoint him."
But then, Mewtwo got some kind of strange feeling. "This can't be… I can still sense his life!"
The pile of earth bursts open and out crawls Kimimaro, now more demonic looking—with reddish-brown skin, several bone fragments sticking out from the back, and a long tail like a dinosaur's.
"What…? The curse marking has taken over your body!"
"This is the greatest gift from Master Orochimaru. With this, I can accomplish anything for him. He acknowledged my existence when I do not know the reason why I must live on in life. He brought me in and said that my reason for being alive is to prove myself useful. He is the only person to like me so much, so I must repay him with equal kindness," says Kimimaro.
"Bah! That villain just likes to sweet talk! I can tell that he has no need for you anymore! You're just brainwashed by him!"
"You have never met Master Orochimaru, and you dare speak of him with vile words! A person like you will never understand this!" Kimimaru charges at Mewtwo and swings his tail at him, but Mewtwo avoids it by back-flipping away.
Kimimaro reaches his hand to the back and digs into it, pulling out the spinal cord. Mewtwo is shocked to see this. "He's using his spinal cord as a weapon! But how can this be? Without a spinal cord, one cannot move! Yet, he…"
"This is the hardest bone in my body. It will surely pierce through your body, no matter how tough your weapon or skin is!" He swings the spinal cord at Mewtwo.
Mewtwo quickly activates a purplish translucent force shield to block the hit. Despite Kimimaro saying the spinal cord is very hard, it did not break through the force shield. "Nothing can break through my force shield."
"Then I will take on you with the strongest attack!" Bone fragments grow out of Kimimaro's left hand and cover it, forming a drill-like structure, and then he drills it against the force shield. As he is drilling, he feels pain in his body and coughs out a bit of blood. "No… It's almost the end…"
"Your body is growing weaker and weaker," says Mewtwo. "There is nothing else you can do about it."
"I will kill you before I die!" Kimimaro continues to drill against the force shield. After a few minutes of trying, the drill can't take it anymore, and it shatters into pieces. "What!"
"Now to end it all!" Mewtwo's eyes begin to flash in white light, and Kimimaro is hurled backwards by telekinesis. Mewtwo points his hand at him and shoots out several energy balls, blasting Kimimaro across the grassland.
Mewtwo then teleports behind him and strikes him several times with the Psychic Spoon, and then he hurls him into the air. Mewtwo flies up into the air and smashes him down towards the ground with the hardest blow yet. Kimimaro slams into the ground hard, making dust fly about. Mewtwo then cups his hands together and charges up a Shadow Ball, and then he hurls the fully charged blast at Kimimaro, creating a large explosion upon contact.
KABOOM!
When the explosion and smoke dies down, a large crater is left behind and Kimimaro is lying unconscious in the center of the crater. Mewtwo floats down besides the crater and says, "Finished at last."
"I will serve Master Orochimaru as long as I live. He acknowledged me, so I must repay him with kindness. No matter what! I will not allow anyone to make fun of him!"
Suddenly, Mewtwo felt a presence behind him, and he slowly turns around. He is shocked to see Kimimaro, with a sharp bone in his hand, standing behind him! "A PERSON LIKE YOU WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND THE GRATEFULNESS OF MASTER OROCHIMARU!" he shouts out at the top of his voice.
He brings down the sharp bone towards Mewtwo, who is paralyzed with fear. When the bone is just a few centimeters from Mewtwo's head, it stopped. Kimimaro coughs out much blood, and then falls sideways onto the ground—dead.
Mewtwo finally snaps out from the shock. "He's… dead…" He goes to a nearby tree and sits down cross-legged. "Looks like I'm not good enough. He survived all my attacks… It was only by mere luck that I won… I have to practice more."

Naruto, DK, and Sheik made it through the woods and came to a large statue of a person, facing across a river with another statue on the other side. Picture it this way: The two statues are facing each other and there's a river running between them.
"What is this place?" asks DK.
"Valley of the End," replies Naruto. "It's is the border of Fire Country. I believe across there is Sound Village."
Then they see Sasuke standing on the head of the statue that is across the river. Naruto shouts out to him, "Sasuke! Can you hear me? I'm here to pick you! Come back with us!"
Sasuke slowly turns around and stares at them. DK and Sheik are a bit surprised that his eyes aren't purple. "Strange… Isn't he supposed to be possessed by a Darkling?" says Sheik curiously. "But how come his eyes aren't purple?"
TO BE CONTINUED…
So Mewtwo did not use the Level 2 version of his weapon… Surely he will use it sometime in the future, so don't be sad. I hope the fight turns out good to you.
