Chapter 4: The Mastermind

Everyone charged through the door where Shoutmon and Lunamon were and went into their room.

"You got who is behind all of this?" Agumon asked before he noticed Shoutmon and Lunamon glaring at another direction, in which he and the other's turned to see what they are looking at.

A tall white figure was facing his back on them.

The figure in question had a long purple tail that trailed up his stomach, as a mass of flesh connected to the center of his back to the back of his neck.

"You! I should've known it was you." Mew spoke through Lunamon, before saying. "Mewtwo!"

Hearing that shocked all the Digimon as anger filled the Pokemon, in which Patamon asked. "So that's is Mewtwo?"

"Yes, he's the one who tried to conquer PokéPark" Cyndaqulll replied.

"Mewtwo!" Pikachu called from Guilmon's mouth, before questioning his nemesis in anger. "Why are you're doing this? Isn't our world enough?"

Mewtwo only cackled and reached his hand up to his forehead.

"W... What is he doing?" Snivy asked from AquaVeemon's mouth, confused and concerned, as from what she had leant from Snivy, Mewtwo was full of tricks.

But this was a new one as suddenly, Mewtwo pulled his skin off his forehead ripping it off shocking most of everyone.

"He just tore his face off!" Gumdramon said but then he noticed now he has 6 red eyes, filling the 'X' marked Digimon with worry as he could never forget who those wicked eyes belonged to.

And Mewtwo continued to shock everyone as his skin ripped to pieces, suddenly burst into flames, covering his entire body as his form turned more twisted.

This shocked everyone, but then the Digimon caught on as to what was happening.

"Only one Digimon could do that!" Shoutmon called out.

"IT'S QUARTZMON!" Agumon, Veemon, Patamon, Guilmon, Shoutmon, Gumdramon, Biyomon, Gatomon, Renamon and Lunamon shouted in union.

Finally, the flames died down and Mewtwo now had a new look.

He now wore a mask with 6 red evil eyes, pale skin, metal poles stabbed through his face, chest and tail, as Digimon/Pokémon souls surged through his exposed chest.

"Well, well, well we meet again, my old foes." Quartzmon said in a twisted form of amusement.

"You!?" Gumdramon questioned in shock, never expecting to see Quartzmon ever again.

"So this thing is Quartzmon?" AquaVeemon asked, this being the first time she had seen the twisted Digimon.

"Yes. And I thought I defeated you!" Gumdramon shouted at the monster that tried to destroy both worlds, only to laugh at him.

"You did, but did you honestly think I would allow you to capture me?" Quartzmon asked in reply.

"What are you talking about?" Gumdramon demanded, before saying. "I saw Tagiru capture you Digi-Egg!"

"Things are not always what they seem. What your human friend caught was only a fraction of my power, just enough to fool you all and enough to keep me alive." Quarztmon explained, shocking everyone.

"And he's partly the reason for this?" Renamon asked.

"Yes. Me and my new partner, Mewtwo were the ones who merged you all and your worlds, all part of our plan to rule over all!" Quartmon announced.

"You cannot do that! Innocent lives will be destroyed." Charizard shouted through Agumon.

"Ha. I already acquired many of their souls." Quartmon said, pointing to his chest, before he exclaimed "And soon, you all will be next!"

"You what!?" Sceptile snarled through Veemon.

"Let those souls go!" Pikachu shouted through Guilmon, before he questioned Mewtwo. "And Mewtwo, why did you fuse with this evil being? Why are you stealing innocent souls!?"

"Well, my little foe..." Mewtwo began to say through Quartzmon, before explaining. "...I actually went along with this. His soul is full of misery, hatred and rage. And with the souls we require, we plan to insert our hatred in them, making them anew and more unwilling to stop us."

"You're nothing but a monster now!" Guilmon snarled.

"You can't just steal Pokémon's lifes as well!" Renamon shouted.

"Oh, and you all will be last, cause once we insert hate and misery into your worlds, we'll do the same to this world and remake it into our liking. A new world created in our image and full of hate!" Quartzmon then exclaimed maniacally.

"Not if we have anything to say about it!" Veemon said angrily as he got ready to fight.

"Mew." Mewtwo spoke through Quartzmon to Mew, before he stated. "You may have foiled my plans back at Poképark with that little rodent but this time, I will make sure my victory is assured."

"And how do you plan to do that!?" Celebi snarled through Shoutmon.

"Oh you'll see." Mewtwo cackled as he held out his hands, in which 5 strong glass bubbles appeared from his hands.

"Now what are you up to?" Gatomon questioned her new enemy.

"My base is somewhere near the badlands and I'd be expecting you all to come, unless you don't want anything happened to your mates." Quartzmon replied wickedly.

"What?" everyone shouted.

"Grr... Biyomon, run!" Agumon called to Biyomon, before he stated. "Whatever he is planning, he plans to go after you and the girls!"

"Blaziken, you must run! He's planning to use you as bait!" Charizard said through Agumon, concerned for her.

"Gatomon, you gotta leave!" Patamon said defending Gatomon, before Cyndaquill said through Patamon. "You too Skitty. You must escape!"

"Run? No, we're not leaving you!" Biyomon called out in concern.

"And how would you plan to stop them?" Gatomon said.

"Besides, we can fight too!" Blaziken said through Biyomon in a determined tone.

"No. He's too powerful now." Veemon stated, before he said. "So you must run. You too, AquaVeemon!"

"No, we're not leaving!" AquaVeemon replied, determined to fight by Veemon's side and not abandon him.

"Get going, Snivy!" Sceptile snapped through Veemon.

"No!" Snivy shouted in concern.

"Pikachu, I am not leaving you alone with that monster!" Lucario shouted through Renamon to Guilmon.

"He's planning to capture you if you don't. Run, Lucario! We'll try to stop him!" Pikachu called through Guilmon, determined to protect her, as was Guilmon for Renamon, who told the foxy Digimon. "Renamon, Pikachu's right. If you get captured, then I could never forgive myself if he harmed you. Just run!"

"No, I am not running away, not if it means leaving you. Never!" Renamon replied.

"Stop me? I think not!" Mewtwo called out as his eyes glowed purple.

At once, Agumon, Veemon, Patamon, Guilmon and Shoutmon found themselves paralyzed and were incapable of moving.

They tried to fight back but it was too strong.

"No! Let them go!" The girls shouted.

"Not without our prizes!" Quartzmon cackled in wicked glee.

And then with a flick of the fingers, the bubbles expand and, like homing missiles, headed straight at the girls.

Biyomon, Renamon, Gatomon, AquaVeemon and Lunamon had no time to react as the bubbles emerged over them, trapping them inside.

"N... No... Lucario...!" Pikachu tried to say through Guilmon.

But all he could do was watch as the bubbles shrank and trapped the girls inside his body until they were squashed balls.

Quartzmon/Mewtwo then with a finger brought the bubbles back over to them and then put a force field around them so they cannot escape.

"L... Let us out!" Gatomon called out, before the villain let the heroes go of their sheer power as they slumped to the ground.

"So, if you want to see your little mates again..." Quartzmon began to say, before Mewtwo then finished his comrade's sentence. "Come to our base. If you don't, we'll make their suffering endless!"

"Let them go!" Agumon shouted angrily as he managed to get to his feet.

"Veemon, everyone, help!" AquaVeemon cried out.

And with more evil laughs, Quartzmon disappeared, taking the girls with them who cried for help before they were taken away.

"MEWTWO!" Pikachu yelled out, followed by Guilmon, roaring out in rage. "QUARTZMON!"
