The Book of Memories

Chapter 5

"I wonder why he hasn't informed us yet of anything," Ike pondered, walking down the hall with Zelda towards the cafeteria.

"Perhaps he hasn't found anything yet," Zelda suggested.

"Should we ask him?" Ike said, seeing Mewtwo's bedroom door and walking towards it.

"Wait! What are you doing?" exclaimed Zelda. "We just can't intrude on him, we should…" Before she could finish, Ike was already knocking on the door.

"Hello, Mewtwo, are you awake?" Ike asked through the door as he knocked. Zelda only sighed with exasperation, putting her face into her palm and massaging her temples with her thumb and middle finger. The door then cracked open of its own accord. Ike peeked inside. "Hello, you awake?" the only response was the sound of Mewtwo sleeping. He then brought his head back out. "Zelda, check this out." Zelda complied hesitantly, carefully peeking into the dimly lit bedroom.

Mewtwo was not in his bed, but at his desk, slumped over it in sleep. The lamp was on and papers and notes were scattered across the desktop. One of his elbows was resting on an open book. They cautiously opened the door and went inside, their foot treads muted by the soft carpeting. Zelda approached the desk, reaching out to Mewtwo's shoulder. When her hand rested on his shoulder, it flinched slightly, waking him up.

"Huh, wha...?" he mumbled drowsily, rubbing his tired eyes. He then saw who it was who had awoken him. "Oh, it's you…" he stifled a yawn. Zelda couldn't help but yawn herself at the sight. "I guess I needn't go looking for you to inform you of my discovery."

Link and Roy were in the game room, playing Super Smash Bros Brawl against each other. They were on the Bridge of Eldin stage on stock mode, Link was playing as Marth while Roy was playing as Metaknight and Roy was down to his last stock while Link had two more to go. Roy hit Link with a smash attack that sent him flying close to the left end of the bridge and eventually KO'd him.

"Oh yeah," said Roy confidently. "Now for one more KO." They exchanged a few more blows before a smash ball appeared, all other gameplay on the field stopped as they both went after it. Link's character hit it with an up smash while Roy's hit it with a few midair swipes, the next one to hit it would break it. They then heard the dreaded sounding of Lord Bulbin's horn as the camera shifted slightly to the right. They were both on the left end and the smash ball was very high up. Roy jumped for it and broke it with his up special.

"Yes, it's mine," Roy said cunningly. He then started diving to the ground near the middle of the bridge. Link had been running towards the middle of the bridge to attack Roy during his decent. Roy then turned around and pressed b. Metaknight swung his cape over Marth as Lord Bulbin passed dropping a bomb. The screen went dark, followed up by the satisfying ring of Metaknight's slice through the darkness, sending Marth skyward. "Yeah, it's over." He did a taunt as he heard Marth's star KO yell. Much to his dismay, however, the bomb went off, sending Metaknight off screen before Marth disappeared.

"Game set," the game narrator said.

"No!" Roy shouted, arms going limp. "Oh man, that was so close."

"Link, Roy," they heard a voice behind them say. They turned and saw Ike. "You'd better come and look at this," he continued, motioning for them to follow him.

….

"So you found this book in your dream?" Zelda asked, amazed. She, Mewtwo, Link, Roy, Ike and Snake were all in the library. "Was there anything else that happened?" Mewtwo was silent for a moment before happening.

"Not much else," he lied. "After obtaining it, I was searching for the source of a blue glow when I was nearly attacked by a beam of energy, which explains the burning. Then I woke up, and the book was right there beside my bed."

"Very strange," Snake pondered as he read through the book, looking at diagram after diagram about subspace technology.

"Perhaps it was destiny," Zelda said. "Fate, somehow intervening, and giving you an answer to a question that had yet to be asked."

"Perhaps fate is giving me a chance to somehow undo my mistake," Mewtwo said.

"It wasn't your fault that Tabuu stole your book," Zelda said comfortingly. "It was only an unfortunate circumstance. But what matters now is that we have this book to help us get it back."

"Indeed," Mewtwo confirmed. "Now that we know how to get there, we must create the device that will allow us to embark on our journey to reach Tabuu." He then turned to Snake. "Let me see the book." Snake closed it and handed it over to Mewtwo. Mewtwo then turned through some of the pages until he came to the page he had been looking for.

"This," he said, showing everyone the image in the book. "…is the Subspace Interstellar Device, referred to as the SID for abbreviation purposes, this is our ticket into subspace."
