Mewtwo's Perfect World
Chapter 3: Presence
Previous ChapterNext ChapterEverything was dark once again. A feeling of warmth once again hit Mewtwo. The voices had stopped, although, he could hear other things. Peaceful things.
Birds.
Birds began to chirp, leaving a ringing sound in Mewtwo's ears. He had not heard birds since... some time ago. A very long time ago, for that matter. Mewtwo could not remember the last time he had heard or felt such peace, although this peace did feel somewhat strange to him. Mewtwo struggled to find consciousness, as he tried to open his eyes and gaze up towards the sky.
Where... am I?
With his vision clouded, Mewtwo tried to raise himself up, laying on what appeared to be some kind of soft material he had never felt before. It felt surpisingly good. As he tried to lift himself up, he instantly fell back down again. Mewtwo was weak. Very weak.
What... is happening to me?
Mewtwo's eyes were now fully open. He looked around what appeared to be a small room of some kind. It was very bright, colourful, and full of strange possessions.
Could these be... tools of some kind? Mewtwo thought, observing every last detail of the room. They looked very strange, coming in all shapes and sizes.
Am I... trapped here?
Mewtwo's mind instantly remembered a room. His first memory of life. A room surrounded by strange tools and machines...
And the humans.
He then started to remember what had just happened to him.Those other creatures. He had not seen any of the before. They were not humans, that's for sure. They looked very similar to Pokemon, but they could talk. They also didn't FEEL like Pokemon. They were something else entirely. Something different.
Mewtwo's mind began to focus back to the present. He began to check his body to see if he were tied up or attached to any machinery. Nothing. There was nothing restraining Mewtwo. It was as if he was simply... left there by himself. Without anything to keep him there. He was free.
Mewtwo wondered why he was simply left by himself with nothing there to stop him. Didn't these creatures know that he was capable of wiping out their entire species and planet altogether?
He quickly sprang up from where he was laying, only to fall back down to the ground. He could not fly. At all.
Why?... Why is this happening to me?
Mewtwo tried to lift himself up, only to stagger and fall to his knees. Everything seemed hopeless. Mewtwo was a sitting target in this place now. He waited something to happen to him. Anything.
"Good," Mewtwo thought, "Finally, I can have my peace. The peace that I have ever so needed, ever since I arrived in this dreaded world." He then lay silently on the wooden floor, with his eyes closed. Waiting.
But then, all of a sudden, he heard them again.
Those voices.
"... Rainbow Dash, we couldn't just leave it there to die in the Everfree Forest!"
Another voice suddenly appeared.
"I know Twilight, it's just that... I have a bad feeling about this. I mean, you saw it, didn't you? It came out of the water with such amazing speed even I couldn't match! And those eyes... its big... blue eyes staring at all of us... I don't know what we should do with it. Maybe we should tell Princess Celestia..."
"Yes darling, I completely agree with you,"
Another voice appeared, and another.
"Um, w- what if this creature isn't so bad after all? M- maybe it was just scared. I mean after all, it was, a-and still is, really hurt. Maybe it should stay here in my cottage for just a... little while longer?"
Even with this voice the quietest out of them all, it still left a distinguished pain in Mewtwo's head.
"No way Fluttershy! I have to agree with Rainbow and Rarity. We have no idea what this thing is or what it can do. Princess Celestia will know what to do!"
Mewtwo closed his eyes and prayed for the pain to stop.
"Yeah! And hopefully, if this thing isn't so bad after all, we can throw it a 'Welcome to Equestria (whatever your name is, whatever you are, and wherever you come from)' surprise birthday party! Oh that reminds me, I gotta get decorations, balloons, presents, snacks, games, music AND a birthday cake!"
This voice was definitely the worst out of them all. Its constant fast and very 'annoying' tone drove Mewtwo to near insanity.
" Oh Pinkie, we're not going to throw a welcoming party to whatever that creature is! Firstly, we are going to find out what this thing actually is, and how it came to being here in Equestria. That's it! Then if things turn sour, we will alert the Princess. Okay?!" The voice then let out an irritating sigh that caused Mewtwo to open his eyes.
So, all they want is answers?
Mewtwo's eyes suddenly turned blue. The ground began to shake. He rose up and managed to finally levitate himself off the floor. He had finally found his power.
I'll give them answers!
With that said, Mewtwo's entire body began to turn into a shade of blue. The walls began to crack, and glass shattered in every direction. Then, Mewtwo spread his arms wide, causing a devastating blast of power to blast out of his body and completely destroy the wall that separated him from the source of the voices.
And then saw them once again. All of the six ponies huddling together in absolute shock. They looked absolutely terrified. Mewtwo simply waited for them to attempt to stop him, with his arms at the ready by his side, and his eyes a dark blue. A sphere of power circuled him. He was about to destroy this very place, and his captors. Just like he had done before. All those years ago. He paused, wanting the creatures to try and make the first move.
But they did not attempt to stop him. They all just hid there, trembling. They all held each other close in a position that made it seem as if they were all protecting each other.
Protecting each other from himself.
Mewtwo then suddenly caught a glimpse of Twilight's eyes. She simply stared him in fear. Unquestionable fear, making no attempt whatsoever to try hold or stop him. It then hid its head underneath it's other companions. Mewtwo began to relent. Were these creatures really a threat?
Mewtwo's eyes suddenly turned back to normal. The ground came to a halt, and everything stood perfectly still. Mewtwo's body then began to levitate itself back to the ground. The creatures still crouched together, trembling with fear. It was a strange sight to behold. No one had ever been... afraid of Mewtwo. Not like this anyway. He then let out a soft, calm voice, that somewhat eased the tension in the room.
"Why?..."
The ponies all looked at each other, very confused as to what Mewtwo was trying to say. What amazed all them was the fact that his mouth had not moved. It felt as if he was speaking to all of them... in their minds.
"W-w- what do you mean??" muttered Twilight, still trembling by the presence of this enormous being. You could hear the fear in her voice.
"I tried to destroy this place- all of you. But you just stood there, holding each other. Why?..." Mewtwo was now very curious. This had never happened to him before. All the times that this had happened, his enemies would fight back, trying to put him down again. This was now not the case. Twilight then stepped forward.
"B- because, if we were all t- to die, then we would all be together... as a f- family," she said courageously.
Mewtwo looked completely astounded. This defenceless creature was willing to step out in front of her own 'family', and sacrifice herself to try and save those she loved? It was with this act that caused Mewtwo to gain a tear in his eye. A single tear. But why?
"I... understand..." Mewtwo softly said, somehow understanding what Twilight had said. What troubled Mewtwo the most about this entire ordeal, was why it held so much importance to him. His memory was completely strained. Looking back towards his past caused his mind to scream with pain. Whatever it was that had happened to him, it was gone, for now at least, until he could find some way to find out more about what troubled him. What he had done.
The ponies all began to slowly calm down, and stopped gripping each other tightly. They still stared at Mewtwo in fear, and what he had just about done to them.
"I... am sorry."
The Elements of Harmony were completely surprised. This strange, powerful figure that had fallen from a black cloud in the sky, just tried to destroy them and everything they held dear, was now suddenly apologising? This was all very confusing. Twilight stared at Mewtwo in disbelief. Her eyes totally focused on his. They were so... serious, but at the same time, kind. This mysterious figure was definitely a doozy.
Once again, Twilight decided that she was the only one left to speak, as her friends were all too stunned to do so. "Um, you're... welcome?" she said, awkwardly.
Mewtwo then observed the destruction that he had caused with his own hands. The room he was in was completely ruined. The wall that separated Mewtwo from the creatures was removed completely. This would take some time to fix.
"I will deal with this mess in time," Mewtwo assured.
Twilight had no words to describe what was going on. "Now he's volunteering to clean up the mess??"
The ponies then began to feel a little more comfortable with the figure that just tried to kill them, although they did still feel uneasy.
"Uhhh... thankyou?" Twilight began to speak a lot clearer. "Um, allow me to introduce myself. I'm... Twilight Sparkle - " She suddenly hesitated.
"... and this is Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, and Fluttershy." When Twilight mentioned Fluttershy's name, she quietly made a very soft squeeling noise, then proceeded to hide behind Rainbow Dash's tail.
"What... what's your name?" Twilight hesitantly asked. Mewtwo turned his head to look out what once was a wide open window. The sun was shining, the birds began to sing again, and the trees were swaying ever so gently with the wind. Everything seemed so... peaceful.
Could this be...
Mewtwo then turned his head back to the ponies. They all once again held their breath. It spoke only three words, and no more.
"I am Mewtwo."
With that finally being said, Mewtwo's eyes once again turned blue. The ponies all feared the worst, but it was not to be done. Instead of finally destroying the one place that the yellow pegasus pony Fluttershy called her home, he lifted himself into the air and flew straight out the right window and up away from the cottage at incredible speed.
Twilight and her friends were then left by themselves in the broken down cottage, to question and wonder what had just happened to them all, and why this creature had spared them. Twilight knew that she had not seen the last of this... Mewtwo, and would do everything in her power to find out what his intentions were.
And, if need be, to stop him.
