Mewtwo's Perfect World

Mewtwo was in a very dark place. A place that almost seemed familiar to him.

"I have... seen this place, I have... been here before. Was it... in my dreams?"

Water. It felt so natural to him. A feeling of peace and serenity. A feeling he had most definitely felt before. He opened his eyes, and saw the ocean; shining and glistening in all of its beauty. Below him, the grassy seabed swayed gently with the current, as Mewtwo sunk down deeper and deeper into the cool ocean water.

"But this is no dream. I FEEL new life, rising within me."

Above Mewtwo, a bright and powerful light appeared, casting its warm glow upon him and the ocean bed. His eyes followed the light, and saw what appeared to be the sun, brightly casting its ray of light upon him. With his vision clouded, he was captivated by the sun, staring constantly at it for some time. Then, all of a sudden, Mewtwo thought he could make out what looked to be a small pink creature, appearing directly in front of the bright light, smiling down upon him, then quickly swimming away. Mewtwo had actually seen this creature before. A very long time ago. An old friend.

"M... Mew?"

"Rainbow Dash! What happened?? Where is it??"

Twilight and Spike had finally caught up to Rainbow Dash, who was now flying all around the Everfree Lake, looking desperately through the water.

"I couldn't stop it! It crashed into the lake! It sank like a rock!" Rainbow Dash shouted. She flew over to where Twilight and Spike were standing. Then she softly said "I'm sorry, I... wasn't fast enough..." Everypony knew that Rainbow Dash hated losing, even if it wasn't a game. Twilight knew now that there was nothing that anypony could do. They couldn't simply dive in after it. It was over.

"It's... ok, Rainbow Dash," Twilight softly spoke. Even though Twilight tried to comfort Rainbow Dash, she could hear the disappointment in her voice. "It's not your fault."

"Yes it is! I should've been there! I should've caught it! I was so close too!" Rainbow Dash admitted. She was now angrily kicking the ground with her hoof. Twilight ignored Rainbow Dash as she looked away towards the lake. There were so many unanswered questions in her mind:

What was that creature? What was it doing in the sky? How did it get here?

Twilight realised that these questions would remain unanswered with her for the rest of her days. Twilight was known for her curiousity; going to very extreme measures to finding out answers that troubled her, and trying to solve the mysteries of the universe. Twilight found it difficult to cope with this situation, and started to breathe heavily.

"Twilight, Rainbow, Spike, y'all alright?"

Twilight, Spike and Rainbow Dash turned around suddenly to see Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie all staring at each of them, mainly at Twilight due to her heavy breathing.

"What's wrong sugercube? You look terrible," Applejack said, very concerned for her friend. "Did somethin' happen?"

Twilight now stopped breathing so heavily and lowered her head glumly. "We... couldn't save it. Rainbow Dash was... too late..."

"Hold on a second, couldn't save what? Was that thing alive??" Applejack was now very curious as to what was really going on.

"We... don't know," Twilight tried to remember what the figure actually looked like. "It definitely wasnt a pony, that's for sure. It also wasn't a griffin or a dragon, so what else could it have been? It was up there in the clouds! It had no wings! It's legs were incredibly large and muscular, and it's hoov - well, it's... paws were very strangely designed. It's ears were short, and they also looked very strange."

Was it even from Equestria? Was it even alive?? Twilight's head was spinning with thought.

"Well, I for one have absolutely no idea what just happened, or what is going on for that matter, but can we please just get out this place, and out of this disgusting mud?!" Rarity whined. Spike quickly rushed to her aide and started cleaning her hooves with a piece of silk cloth he happened to pull out of nowhere.

"She's right, sugercube. As much as we all wanna help... w-whatever that thing was, i'm afraid there's nothin' left to do here now," Applejack said, putting a hoof on Twilight's shoulder. "If it is where y'all says it is, then it's long gone by now."

Twilight sighed deeply, and looked back towards the lake. A tear began to form in her eye.

'Why do I care so much about a creature I haven't even met, or even seen!?' thought Twilight. She turned back over to her friends and wiped her tear away.

"You're right.... Lets all go home," Twilight said, as she walked past her friends without saying a word, and heading back towards the clearing.

"Ummmm what just happened?" wondered Pinkie Pie aloud.

"I'm not sure. We'll talk about it once we get outta here.This place gives me the creeps," shuddered Applejack, remembering all of the horrid experiences she and her friends had suffered in the Everfree Forest. As Twilight and her friends made their way towards the clearing, Fluttershy suddenly stopped moving and stood very still. She looked very terrified.

"Ummmm- girls, d-do you hear something?" Fluttershy nervously asked. All the other ponies lifted their ears and listened closely to their surroundings.

"............ Eenope, can't hear a thing," Applejack said.

"Ooh-ooh! I love guessing games! Wait a minute, let me see here. Hmmmmmm...... I hear....... I hear...  birds! NO WAIT! I hear...... trees! NO WAIT! I hear..... Mr. and Mrs. Cake! They're taking newly made muffins out of the oven and placing it on the kitchen table! WAIT! No thats not it, I hear something else..... it's....... it's......-"

Before Pinkie Pie could finish her sentence, her entire body began to shudder. Suddenly, she began to shake very rapidly up and down, and would not stop. This was not good, because all of her friends knew that this was one of Pinkie's many famous 'Pinkie senses'.

"Pinkie, whats happening?? What does this mean??" Twilight asked nervously, knowing the full extent to Pinkie's senses.

"Whatever it is, it's a doozy. Remember the same feeling I got ages ago when you finally believed in my Pinkie sense? It's that one! Something you never expect to happen is gonna happen!"

Twilight and her friends began to panic. Would the doozy it be good? Would it be harmful? Judging by the fact that they were all in the Everfree Forest, they all knew this couldn't be good.

Then came the sound. The sound Fluttershy had warned everypony about before. It then began to grow louder. Louder to the extent that everypony could now hear what it was, and where it was coming from. Their worst fears were realised when they found out the source of this unusual sound was coming from the Everfree Lake.

"Those voices."

Mewtwo woke suddenly. He could hear them. Coming from above.

"They're outside."

Mewtwo nervously looked around to find himself somewhere he had no idea where, or how he even managed to be there; underwater. What is going on? Mewtwo's fragile mind was racing with thoughts and questions as to what had happened to him. He tried to remember what had just transpired, and how he came to be where he was now.

Nothing.

Nothing came to Mewtwo's mind. His psychic powers were damaged by the recent events that occured to him. Sadly, he could not remember anything. The only simple things that Mewtwo could remember about his past was his name: Mewtwo, and what he was: Alone.

"But... why?"

Mewtwo closed his eyes. A small light appeared. His entire life began to flash before his eyes.

Bubbles. Just... bubbles.

Mewtwo cringed in pain, wanting there to be more. But there wasn't. His mind was lost. All there was to remember was just... water.

"Is this my home? Is this where I belong?"

Mewtwo closed his eyes and became lost in thought. He began to calm his mind and focus his powers to try and unsolve the mystery that was himself. However, the voices that he had heard before were becoming louder. They were outside.

"Where I must be."

Instantly, Mewtwo began to harness his powers and flow them throughout his entire body. His eyes then turned blue. The water around him began to bubble. With enough force, Mewtwo would gain so much momentum that he would launch himself up towards the surface, be released from this watery prison, and then find the source of the voices. The voices that could be his answer.

"Everypony, get behind me!" Twilight instructed, as the Elements of Harmony all cradled up behind her, fearful about what to expect from the lake. Twilight was not afraid however. This could be it. The source to her all of her questions.

Her answer.

In a matter of seconds, a beam of light shot itself out of the Everfree Lake, causing Twilight and her friends to fall back. Suddenly, a lone figure shot itself out of the water from where the light was positioned. It came out at an incredible speed- even Rainbow Dash was stunned! The figure then began slow down, and then levitate itself towards the ground to where Twilight and her friends were all standing. They could all now see what this creature was. It was unlike any of them had ever seen.

Fluttershy gasped as she hid herself behind Twilight. Rarity screamed in absolute terror. Applejack looked absolutely terrified by the appearance of the creature. Rainbow Dash was simply stunned not by the creature, but by the speed it had happened to possess. Pinkie Pie stood shocked with her mouth wide open. And Twilight stood in absolute awe in the presence of the creature. What amazed Twilight the most about this creature was it's body. It's body was kind of grayish-purple type of colour, with a purple underside and a very, very, long purple tail. What in Equestria was it??

The creature finally landed softly onto the ground. This was it. The calm before the storm. The creature stood silently, its tail magnificent, its body still, its eyes blue as the colour of Luna's night. Twilight awaited a response from the creature. Would it completely vaporise them? Would it greet them with welcome arms? Twilight had no idea what to expect from the creature. Its pose was oddly calm and bland, as though it were waiting for the ponies to do something first. Twilight and her friends all held their breath.

Then it spoke. It only spoke once.

"Why?"

The creature then suddenly collapsed in front of them.

Silence filled the entire forest.
