Remembering the Fallen
"The second time Master Hand kidnapped people for his twisted amusement, he brought along Mewtwo and Roy. Keep in mind, all this happened some time before this shared universe was formed. After beating him, we tried to set aside our differences. Some of us were reluctant, others were enthusiastic. Roy and myself, nobles in our home world, hoped to create a grand mansion for our new friends. Having no knowledge of construction, we recruited a number of the others to assist us. To our surprise, halfway through construction, when Mewtwo saw it he flew into a rage.
"Little did we know that, when Master Hand was in control, he was holding back his incredible psychic powers. Mewtwo was, in the world of Pokémon, renowned for power that far surpassed any other. While he was in this world, Master Hand was restraining Mewtwo's power. Unfortunately, Mewtwo was only controlled because he chose to be, and when he saw the mansion his powers came out in full force. The building practically disintegrated from under us, and several people were seriously injured.
"Almost immediately Captain Falcon, Roy, and Young Link decided to stop him, with disastrous results. In the blink of an eye he had the Captain and Young Link in his psychic grasp, practically breaking them in half. Roy managed to get a solid hit on him, which made him let them go before defeating them. Unfortunately, he then turned all his attention to Roy, his anger even stronger then ever. In his fury he blasted Roy until the noble swordsman was no more, merely a shadow of his former glory. Then he used his dark powers to finish him off, and Roy became a Trophy.
"Not satisfied, Mewtwo subsequently broke the head off of the Trophy. If we were to attempt to revive him after that, Roy would never properly return, stuck in an eternal cycle of life and death. So, we left him as is, in the hopes that he would one day be fixed and allowed to live free as a bird."
Snake clapped sarcastically at the end of the story. "That's nice. Why exactly did you want to share a house with a bunch of psychopaths again?"
Marth was taken aback by the somewhat rude gesture. "After all we've been through, we're close friends, regardless of our pasts."
"Not everyone will ignore the repeated murder of their parents, uncles, and other family members, especially when they have to go through it for all eternity" said Snake while subtly gesturing to Link and Zelda.
"But…"
"Also, as a prince, I'd think you want Bowser and Peach apart, especially due to the constant kidnappings that occur."
"That wouldn't…"
"And why would anyone want to live here? Everyone has their own friends and family in their own world, or at least stuff they're familiar with. I, for one, am not the biggest magic fan in the world. I like my world."
"I…"
--
Deep within Subspace, the four demons and their servants stood at the ready. Only one stood alone, his fierce psychic powers more than enough to achieve his goals.
"So," the dark wizard mused, "which of you will go first?"
"What is your goal?" asked the shadow farthest from him.
"Defeat our common foe through the conquering of Subspace."
The other three looked at each other in confusion. "Common foe?" asked the dragon general.
No reply came. Instead, he turned to his eleven knights and disappeared into the darkness.
There was silence for a minute, and then Darkrai stepped forward. "I will go after our foe first. Let us go now and finish our work. I will deal with you when I am through, Mewtwo" he said pointedly before he and his follower, a massive dragon, vanished into the darkness.
Mewtwo merely sneered before teleporting away himself, leaving Ridley and his followers alone. "Ridley, do you have something planned?" asked the massive beast behind him.
"Yes, and for what I have in mind, Darkrai will make an excellent diversion. Soon, we will defeat the hunter!"
Silently his gargantuan ally hoped it wouldn't be the same solution again, all the while knowing it to be the case.
POKÉBALL POKÉMON: GIRATINA
With only a slight chance to emerge from a Pokéball, Giratina is a legendary Dragon/Ghost Pokémon who rules over the land of the dead. It is thought to be related to Dialga and Palkia due to its half-dragon nature and similar face, though this connection has not been proven. Unlike those two, however, there are no legends or texts relating its existence to Arceus.
ATTACK: SHADOW FORCE
Summoning its power, Giratina vanishes from the area before streaking across the stage, sending anyone it touches flying. If anyone touches it as it vanishes, they will be taken into the world of the dead with it, doing even more damage.
AN: Who is the dark wizard? Why does Mewtwo hate mansions so much? And who is the massive triclopian lizard that works alongside Ridley? Find out all this and more when I stop being lazy!
