Mirror of Nightmare
Chapter 16: Mystery Mansion
-Somewhere…
Where am I?
Why I am alone? Only the darkness that my eyes can see…
I walk along the way… This looks like a road…
It reminds me of the Darkon…
Hm?
I stop walking when I see a torch on the wall…
And…
Someone is standing there…
I walk up closer to the torce. That creature seems to notice me and turns their face to me…
I am sure that they are male Pokemon… But I can't tell what kind of Pokemon is he because there are something that cover his face…
He looks at me. I look at him. I can sense the scene of thirst… Thirst for fight…
He picks his weapon, prepares for attack me…
I do the same thing as he does…
We prepare to attack each other…
And then…
"What?!"
Princess of Soulyn screams and walks up. She looks around in panic and realizes that she is sleeping on the bed in the hut in the Kokiri Village.
"Whew! It is just a nightmare!" Diasol says. (Because she is the only female member in team exclude Navi, so she sleeps in the separate room from others.)
'But, what is that dream? It somehow… seems familiar…' Diasol thinks.
Diasol looks at the clock, now it is 2:00, so she decides to go back into a slumber.
-Somewhere…
Who is that?!
I see two Pokemon in front of me… One is male while the other is female…
The male one is holding the body of female one. The female one… has a bullet at her chest!
No…
I think that the female one is… dying…
The male one starts crying for the female one…
Hm… Maybe they are a couple.
Suddenly, the male one stands up and screams with a loud voice. I crumble with fear when he does that.
After finishes screaming, the male one looks at me with his feral eyes before he picks his rifle and aims it at me!
"What?! What are you doing?!" I ask.
The male one doesn't seem to notice the thing that I say, and then…
He shoots me!
"!"
Yterval walks up. He looks around the room and realizes that he is in a bedroom in the hut in the Kokiri Village. Link, Rucas and Navi who is sleeping next to him are still sleeping.
'Dream?' Yterval thinks. He looks at the clock. Now it is 4:00.
'The dream? What is that? And why it looks so real?' Yterval thinks, but he can't find the answer of his questions until he falls into a deep sleep again.
-Somewhere…
Hm?
I remember this…
I am in the war, fighting other strange creatures that turn out to be Pokemon…
It is like my first dream…
My first dream since I come back to Hyrule…
I still fight, no one can even harm me.
But then, thing changes when someone slashes at my arm…
The bleed is very small, but I feel that I have lost all of my power.
I collapse on the ground. I try to stop the bleeding, but somehow, it doesn't stop!
The red blood spills from my body, draining my power and my life force…
I am dying…
"!"
Link wakes up. He looks around and realizes that he is in his bedroom in the Kokiri Village. Navi and Yterval are still sleeping while Rucas is gone. He looks at the clock and realizes that it is 6:00, so he gives up on going back to sleep.
He thinks of his dream while changing his cloth from pyjamas into his formal green tunic. This dream looks like that it is the sequel to his first dream since he arrive Hyrule. At first, he is a very strong fighter, but this…
He is dying, just because a very small bleed…
After finish changing the cloth, he picks his sword and shield and walks out of his bedroom back to the Kokiri Village.
At the Kokiri Village, he sees many Kokiri are playing together, that reminds me of his childhood.
And, he sees Rucas is walking back to him. He looks like that he has just gotten a very important thing.
"Good morning, Link. Guess what? I get some information about the Legendary Pokemon that live in Meraldia Forest!" Rucas says.
Rucas starts explaining about the Legendary Pokemon. That Legendary Pokemon is full with power and the hatred for human, so they live alone in Meraldia Forest.
"Link, I know that they hate human, so…" Rucas says, but Link shakes his head no.
"You think that isn't a problem?" Rucas asks, and Link nods.
"Okay. Let's wait for Navi, Diasol and Yterval so we can go into Meraldia Forest." Rucas says.
-Two hours later…
After finish breakfast and preparing (And wait for Diasol), they leave Kokiri Village and go into Meraldia Forest. Meraldia Forest, like the Lost Wood, has many crossroad that shall lead them to another place or brings them back to Kokiri Village, but Link can remember the way that will lead him to the Forest Temple, so he decides to follow that path. But instead of leading him to Forest Sacred Meadow and Forest Temple, it leads him to a huge, abandoned mansion in the middle of the forest.
"This place is strange…" Yterval mumbles.
"Hey! Maybe the Legendary Pokemon is living in this place!" Navi says.
After that, they enter the mansion…
Dungeon III: Mystery Mansion
This mansion is very scary. Some time a ghost type Pokemon or grass type Pokemon appears from nowhere and attack them, so they need to proceed in caution (And protect their ears when Diasol starts screaming when a ghost type Pokemon appears.) This dungeon is a forest-based puzzle, like the Forest Temple in Ocarina of Time.
After a halfway through the dungeon, they found a Bomb Bag, so they can use it to store the bomb flower and uses the bomb flower to burst the cracked wall.
Finally, they reach the innest room of this dungeon.
In this dungeon, there are two Pokemon in the human form in this room. One is a Pokemon with pale-pink skin, pink tail and a cat-like face. It looks like that they get injured. And another is…
"Mysterious Demon!" Navi shouts. Her voice makes both cat-like Pokemon and Mysterious Demon turns their face to them. Both of them seems surprise when they see Link and his friends.
"… You again?" Mysterious Demon says. He is holding blood-soaked swords in both of his hands.
"… Escape now! Or he will attack you!" The cat-like Pokemon says.
"Shut up, Mewtwo." Mysterious Pokemon says.
"What are you doing here?!" Rucas roars.
"None of your business." Mysterious Demon says and turns his attention back to the cat-like Pokemon, Mewtwo.
"Mewtwo, give it to me."
"Never!" Mewtwo says.
"I see…" Mysterious Demon says before reveals a creepy smile.
"Then I shall leave." Mysterious Demon says. His words shocks everyone.
"Why so easy to leave?" Mewtwo asks.
"I have my reason." Mysterious Demon says before he turns his attention to Link.
"Link, I have no attention to battle you, so I will let you go this time. But not the next time!" Mysterious Demon says.
"Wait!" Navi says, but the Mysterious Demon disappears before she says.
"Dxxn it!" Rucas mumbles.
"By the way, who are you?" Mewtwo asks.
"You are the Legendary Pokemon that live in this forest, right?" Rucas asks.
"Do you see other Legendary Pokemon that live in this forest?" Mewtwo asks.
"Ur… No." Yterval says.
"What business you have with me?" Mewtwo asks.
"Um… We…" Yterval says, but before he can says the whole sentence.
"I see… You need my assistance in something, right?" Mewtwo says.
"How do you know?!" Everyone says.
"Don't forget that I am Mewtwo. But before you say anything first, I must test you that you are strong enough to let me help you," Mewtwo says.
To Be Continue…
LD: Hey! Why do you end the chapter like this?!
Pokedragon: Don't blame me, LD. You are the one who EDITS this chapter and makes it end like this. So, the Mysterious Demon appears again.
LD: I wonder who is he…
Pokedragon: Don't act like an innocent little dragon, LD. You know.
