Chapter 8
Mateusz awoke in the morning to a peculiar noise coming from the room next to his. He yawned and stretched as he sat up to get off his rather uncomfortable bed that Mewtwo had fashioned from stone, but had placed leaves and grass to make it softer to lie on, but was still somewhat uncomfortable. He stood up and once again stretched. He then walked out of his room and into the hallway of the cave. He went to investigate the source of the noise and found it was coming from Joasia's room. He stood at the entrance and saw Joasia's sleeping form, snoring loudly. Mateusz sighed and went outside the cave to grab some leaves to cover his ears with; the sun was only just rising. He stepped outside to find Mewtwo sitting outside the entrance with his eyes closed. Mateusz decided to continue walking without saying anything; it probably wasn't worth disturbing Mewtwo to say good morning.
"I'm guessing you couldn't stay asleep." Mewtwo said as Mateusz was walking past.
"No no, it is far too noisy in there, I had no idea someone could snore so loudly. I'm going to get something to cover my ears with so I can at least get some more rest." Mateusz said as he turned round to face Mewtwo.
"Alright, you should go do that." Mewtwo replied before closing his eyes and going back to whatever it was he was doing.
Mateusz continued walking into the forest looking for large leaves that could be folded and used to cover is ears so he could continue to rest. He found some on a tall tree that were green and the perfect shape for the task he was going to use them for. He grabbed four of them and turned to walk back to the cave. He heard a strange noise on his left and a creature appeared between the trees. It looked up at Mateusz and seemed to take a stance. It was small, orange, and had fire on the end of its tail. It launched a fireball at Mateusz and Mateusz barely ducked in time as the fireball whooshed over his head, singing his hair. Mateusz decided to run back to the cave and as he did, more fireballs flew past him, hitting trees and singeing the spot where they had impacted. Mateusz got to the cave where Mewtwo was sitting out the front, eyes still closed.
"Mewtwo, I've run into a little trouble." Mateusz laughed and said to Mewtwo as he got close to the cave.
Mewtwo opened his eyes and saw the creature chasing and attacking Mateusz. Mewtwo immediately stood up and the creature came to a halt all of a sudden. Mateusz retreated inside the cave and watched from the inside. The creature gave up the chase and walked away.
"What happened, Mateusz?" Mewtwo turned and asked Mateusz who was chuckling at what had just happened.
"Oh, I had just finished getting some leaves to cover my ears with when it jumped out of the trees to my left and attacked me. I ran and it chased me here." Mateusz replied, panting from running.
"That was a Charmander, they are known for being a little on the aggressive side." Mewtwo informed Mateusz.
Mateusz nodded and walked down the hall of the cave to his room. The snoring noise was still coming from Joasia's room as loudly as ever. Mateusz folded the leaves and placed one on each ear as he closed his eyes and lay on his bed. He managed to get into a relaxed state once more and rested.
"Mateusz, get up, Mew has brought breakfast, and once again, it's berries!" a voice that belonged to Joasia said.
Mateusz opened his eyes and stood up off his 'bed'. He walked to the entrance of his room and saw Joasia standing there, arms crossed and smiling.
"You snore incredibly loudly, Joasia." Mateusz said to Joasia as he walked past her and into the hallway.
"I do not snore! It was probably Mew." Joasia denied what Mateusz had told her with a shocked look on her face.
"No, it was definitely you, I woke up and got up to check it out, it was you, I had to go outside and find some leaves to put over my ears." Mateusz told Joasia whilst smiling a taunting smile.
"Oh dear, I had no idea I did that." Joasia said back.
They walked into the hallway and Mew was waiting for them with yet more berries, but these ones were blue.
"Here's a different type of berry for you, Mateusz, these ones contain protein, the ones you had yesterday had various vitamins." Mew told Mateusz about the content of the berries.
They all sat down to eat and Mewtwo joined them, before wandering off somewhere, presumably to do more thinking by himself. Mateusz had his fill before heading off to do the same. He walked into his room, only to find Mewtwo standing there for some reason.
"What are you doing in here, Mewtwo?" Mateusz asked, curiously.
"I am detecting an anomaly coming from in here, something is about to happen." Mewtwo responded.
All of a sudden, there was a flash, and a man whom was holding a strange device and a gun appeared before them.
"Does that man jog your memory, Mateusz?" Mewtwo asked Mateusz.
The man took a few steps forward and disappeared suddenly and the device he was holding fell to the floor. Mateusz walked over to it and picked it up, examining the buttons and dials on it.
"No, I don't remember seeing anyone, let alone a man like that." Mateusz replied, fiddling with the dials on the device.
"What is that device he left behind?" Mewtwo questioned.
"I have no clue, but it seems it may have something to do with that man's appearance." Mateusz replied before setting the device down on his bed.
"We'll have to investigate further." Mewtwo said before turning and exiting the room.
Mateusz followed and walked outside the room to where Joasia and Mew were waiting.
"What was that noise Mateusz?" Joasia asked Mateusz.
"A man appeared in my room holding a device, we have no idea who he was or exactly how he came to be here but he soon disappeared." Mateusz told Joasia.
Mateusz decided he would take another look at the device and Joasia followed him into his room. Mateusz fiddled with device, looking for some label or clue as to what it might be. He found a red 'R' on the side of the device. Joasia audibly gasped at the sight of it.
"We have to tell Mew and Mewtwo!" Joasia said but Mateusz was already getting up to walk out of the room.
Mateusz walked down the hallway where Mewtwo and Mew were discussing something.
"Mewtwo, Mew, take a look at this." Mateusz said, pointing to the red 'R' on the side of the device.
"That is the logo for Team Rocket, it must be one of their experiments, but the man had a different symbol on his clothes, so he mustn't have been a member of Team Rocket." Mewtwo replied before seeming to make up his mind about something and saying, "Mateusz, you will come with me to investigate a Team Rocket outpost for data, there is one about 20km from here, we are leaving now."
Mewtwo turned and left the cave, Mateusz ran to his room, grabbed the weapon he had taken from the Team Rocket troop that had been looking for them near Mewtwo's old cave. Mateusz then ran after Mewtwo.
"Take care Mateusz." Joasia said to Mateusz as he ran out.
Mateusz hesitated and said, "What's the worst that can happen, death?"
This caused Joasia to cringe and Mateusz laughed before continuing to run out the door.
"Well Joasia, it looks like you managed to make a friend just a few days after escaping, even though he looks like he is of a species you should hate for what they did to you." Mew said happily to Joasia.
"Well he's a bit of a teaser but he's nice at least, and besides, he's the only one who can have a decent conversation around here." Joasia replied and teased Mew who looked offended by this stage.
Mewtwo continued to float ahead of Mateusz as they walked through the forest on the mountainside. They were walking at a significant pace and it was about midday. Mewtwo had said that Mateusz would be the one distracting the guards or knocking them out when they got there, Mewtwo didn't want to destroy this outpost or Team Rocket would suspect he was in the area and investigate. They walked for another few hours and soon, they could see the outpost through the trees. Three guards patrolled outside the outpost which was a small building the size of a house, the guards only appeared to have holstered pistols. This outpost was on the edge of a small town that didn't look to be very busy. The guards all faced the other way in the direction of the town as they believed that would be the most likely place for trouble to come from. Mateusz crept behind the one nearest and knocked him out with the butt of the gun, but grabbed the man before he fell to the ground so that he wouldn't make a loud noise as his gun hit the ground. Mateusz carefully placed the man on the ground and gave Mewtwo the go ahead to enter the facility, as the other two guards were on the other side of the building. Mateusz found what he identified as a silencer on the guard and was surprised to find it fit his gun. Mewtwo opened the door of the facility and walked inside. Mateusz continued toward the other guards, hoping to take them out silently, but one of them turned around and saw Mateusz walking towards them, he yelled out and drew his pistol, firing a shot at Mateusz whom was holding a SMG with a silencer attached. Mateusz took cover behind the building before returning fire, a bullet struck the man in the chest and another struck him in the head, blood spurted from both wounds as the bullets impacted the man, his eyes closed and he fell to the ground, dead. Mateusz felt himself gasp as he realised what he had just done; he had KILLED someone. He decided it wasn't worth letting it get to him as it wouldn't help his current situation. He aimed around the corner again and the other guard was firing at him, he shot back and a spurt of blood erupted from the man's chest and arm, he too fell to the ground, unmoving. Mateusz turned around and ran into the building where he collided with Mewtwo who was running out the door. Mateusz fell to the ground, nose bleeding whilst Mewtwo fell backwards into the wall of the building with his own version of what you would call a nose bleeding. Mateusz's nose had collided with Mewtwo's chin and Mewtwo's nose had collided with Mateusz's forehead. They both got back to their feet slightly dazed.
"What happened out here? I heard gunshots." Mewtwo was the first to talk as he wiped the blood from his face.
"A guard turned around and saw me, he started shooting at me so I shot back, and I killed him and the other one who soon began to shoot at me." Mateusz replied, wiping his own blood that was dripping down his face with his sleeve before saying, "I think we should raid their medical cabinet for supplies to help our bleeding noses.
"Okay, yes, I think we should get something to help with this." Mewtwo replied and then said, "You have a very solid forehead."
"And YOU have a bony chin." Mateusz replied, pointing at Mewtwo's chin.
They walked into the main room at the centre of the building where a cabinet that had a green cross on it could be found, unconscious people lay in a few positions around the room, mostly on chairs at desks with computers. Mewtwo and Mateusz looked through the medical cabinet and found some cotton buds that they stuffed up their noses. After nursing their bleeding noses, they began to head to the exit when the guard Mateusz had knocked out earlier rushed in. He took one look at Mateusz with the SMG and Mewtwo standing next to him and his eyes widened with fear. The man soon collapsed to the ground, unconscious like the rest of the people in the building.
"He will not remember us, I have erased his memories." Mewtwo said as they continued to walk toward the door.
"Good, do you know where the armoury is in this building? I need some more ammunition for the gun." Mateusz asked Mewtwo, thinking about if he was going to need to defend himself in future with the weapon.
Mewtwo shook his head and they decided to look for the room where they would have ammunition. They soon found a room where there were boxes full of small arms and SMGs. Mateusz picked up a bag that was in the room and shoved a few clips of ammo, along with a pistol, in the bag. Mewtwo and Mateusz exited the building and entered the forest, headed for the mountain where they had been staying…
Author's Note:
There was a crossover in this chapter with my friend, The Wise Sponge. His fanfic is called The Marxmen and is loosely based in the Deadpool universe. Please take a look to see the crossover from his perspective so that you will get it to its full extent.
Also, I'm sorry for the slow release of new chapters for the past few days but I've had some busy days and should be back up to speed really soon.
