Chapter 23-The End of Hypno

It was two hours later and Lucario and Lilly was watching television late at night. He couldn't sleep. He was too wide awake from Lilly's birthing, so he tried to fall asleep in front of the TV. Darkrai entered Lucario's room with a sense of urgency.

Darkrai: LUCARIO! Turn on to Mewtwo's Broadcast Channel now! It's Hypno!

Narrator: Lucario changed the channel right away to Mewtwo's channel.

Mewtwo: (on TV) Welcome to my favorite show, "Submission!" I am your host and your dictator, Dear Leader and Comrade, your Eternal President Mewtwo! If you are wondering where I am, I am in my torture room, where I choose to interrogate my most difficult prisoners! Today's prisoner is the Mewuskovian spy, Hypno Imohara. He is charged with espionage, violation of thought, and releasing my prisoners. He has had numerous chances to tell me where my favorite prisoner has escaped to, but he has failed to listen. So, live on television, he will either tell me where this prisoner has escaped to...(holds picture of Lilly to television screen)...or television will be the last thing he is seen alive on! Tay! General! Bring him in now!

Narrator: Tay and General Weavile brought Hypno into the torture room. He was bloodied and bruised, and his teeth were broken. Lucario was shocked to see him like this.

Mewtwo: This is my prisoner! Will he tell me everything or will he go through Submission? (obviously referring to show title)

Hypno: I rescued many prisoners from the wrath of you and those mad scientists who experimented upon them!

Mewtwo: Obviously. BTW, audience, the camp he broke into was my border Camp of the Boston Pancake.

Lucario: (watching TV) He got that off of Urban Dictionary!

Mewtwo: (on TV) I know you were in the group of rebels involved with the Aura Guardian! Now tell me, where do you thing Lucario took my beloved female prisoner, Lilly?

Hypno: I was kidnapped before I even got to see her escape. Even if I did, do you think I would tell something that could jeopardize the state of affairs in Mewuskovia, especially on live television?

Mewtwo: Are you going to have millions see you disrespect me as your last act?

Hypno: Nobody as deplorable as you deserves such respect.

Mewtwo: You have been beaten, bloodied, p*ssed on, and sh*t on—yet you refuse to tell me where my prisoner is. Why is this?

Hypno: Your crimes against women and everyone else are brutal and dishonorable.

Mewtwo: I do what I wish to my property. I own everything in Saru—including my women. Guards! Hold him down!

Narrator: Padriarch and Antonio came in to hold Hypno down onto the floor. Mewtwo ordered his camera to zoom out so the whole floor could be viewed.

Darkrai: (not on TV) What is that fiend doing?

Mewtwo: (on TV) You see, my people, there are winners and there are losers. I am always the winner in this case. Those who defy me are the losers. And what happens to losers on this show? (Tay binds Hypno so he is on knees; Gen. Weavile gets out ax) They die. Any last words?

Hypno: Perhaps my death will spark a revolt from your people so that fools like you will be put in their place. I have had the wonderful privilege of raising the Aura Guardian. It is time, now, for him to destroy you. Destroy you so that the lives of others are free from people like you.

Narrator: Gen. Weavile lifted the ax up and swung. Hypno's death was gruesome, but it was quick. The people of Mewuskovia mourned this loss with the hope that he was in God's arms now. Lucario knew that Hypno's death needed to be avenged. He lost his parents, he lost his mentor, but he would not let Mewtwo take his liberty. It was time to fight for his people.

Kind of a Braveheart moment, eh?
