Summary: It's an one-shot. Not gonna spoil everything here!
RATING: 13 years-old/16 years-old. Not sure which to choose. Contain blood and gore... although in limited quantity.
Anyway... this is yet another one of my randomly created, non spell-checked one-shots. As always, I'm not sure if it makes sense or anything... and I'm once again using the same two characters as usual... but I still hope that this one-shot will prove itself to be somewhat entertaining.
Enjoy!... well, I hope.
==========================================================
FAKE
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
ONE-SHOT
==========================================================
She was breathing extremely fast, her entire body tense, terror gripping her heart as she awaited the fatal blow. Silence... the awful, heart-crunching silence... she wanted nothing but the silence to end. Why did he taunted her and prolonged this? Why couldn't he be merciful for once and kill her at once, since it had been his original intention?
She waited... she stood there, trembling... for several seconds... then a full minute... then several minutes... and then she ran out of patience.
What's going on? What is he waiting for? Is something wrong? Did something happen? Why is there nothing but silence?
She dared to open an eye... and was greeted by eternal darkness. She calmed down, her breathing rebecoming normal... and she realized that she was no longer back there. She slowly got up and looked at herself. The wounds... the injuries... the blood... the bones... all gone. She was perfectly healthy, in a fine shape. Everything was fine...
Before her, blue eyes glowed... "Celebi... is it your doing?" she asked the green fairy.
A sly grin was on the fairy's face. "Yeah... you got a problem with it?" asked the time traveller.
She shook her head and smiled sweetly. "Actually... I'm thankful you pulled me out of here. I thought you hated me. Why did you saved me?"
Celebi rolled her eyes. "Bah! Not that it matters. You know I cannot let you die without fulfilling my promise. I would probably lose my reputation or worse, that stupid oversized chicken who happens to be my boss would probably fry me to a crisp."
She remembered the promise... Celebi had promised her that she would reveal her who was her soul mate... the male that would end her loneliness and cover her with the fatal sin, allowing her to quietly and peacefully surrender herself to a bloody death as the successor would rise, allowing her to return to non-existence. Although the idea of a soul mate was enjoyable... the idea of becoming a victim of the Cycle was not.
The others considered it a honor to die in an atrocious way, giving birth to a being who would then die in the same way to give birth to another one who would suffer the same fate. An endless cycle... Reproduction without it being reproduction. A curse created to prevent the Uniques from becoming Many... a measure to prevent the Great War from ever restarting all over again...
The Great War... she was a relatively new specimen of her specie... but the memories of all those who had been known under the same name as her was within her. She shared all of their memories... and as such, she knew.
The Uniques had once been allowed to reproduce freely... but after the two Creators' children comitted the sin of incest, a specie that was identical to that of the male Creator was born... the Lugias. Powerful beyond belief and aware, the Lugias challenged the Creators' rule. The male Creator, Lugia, himself, as well as many others joined the mortals in their rebellion.
In the end, the rebellion was a failure and Lugia, Deoxys, Jirachi, Groudon, and Kyogre, the Uniques who had helped the Lugias in their rebellion, were damned for all eternity to suffering through incredibly cruel and strange tortures. Then, the Lugias specie was completely and entirely slaughtered.
But the female Creator's rage did not end. Her wrath extended to all of the Uniques and she proclaimed this horrible curse, which caused the Uniques to be the sole members of their species for all eternity... for each time one of them would reproduce, they would always give birth to only one new member of their specie and that, at the cost of their lives.
... but the female Creator had overseen one detail...
Although the curse cannot be broken by the Uniques themselves... if mortals were to help them, they could overcome it.
The Pokemon are mostly just animals... but one specie among them chose to evolve differently, giving up on their magical powers so that they might obtain the power of Technology and Science.
The humans, a specie of Pokemon unlike any other. They quickly forgot their origins and then, wicked members of their specie conspired, hoping to control the Uniques... and seeing as they would never do so, they used their Science to create a new Unique, one that they would hopefully control.
However, the Unique they created could not be controlled.
She attempted to stop him... but this new Unique had been infused with the rage and regrets of all the beings that the Uniques had misjudged and discriminated through the generations... and she found herself unable to overcome such unholy fury.
... and now, here she is... saved by the one who rules over Time and Void, merely because of a promise made long ago...
"I have no intentions of playing the knight in shining armor. I'm fulfilling my promise and then, I'm sending you back to die." said Celebi.
She looked down, saddened. She should have expected it... she had been foolish to hope that she would have lived. In fact, what was even the point of learning who her soul mate was when she was to die?... but then, since she is to die... why not?
"Well... since it seems like things are going to end like this... fulfill your promise." she said, upset.
Celebi grinned evilly. Her eyes were glowing with maniacal fire. It was obvious she enjoyed this moment. Finally, the stupid kitty tastes her own medecine! So many years of humiliation... so many years of enduring her childish attitude and of morons going "aawww" before her when she's nothing but a big lump of psychic fat! Finally... one see who of the two truly is the top girl!
"Hehehe... well, I don't know if I should tell you..." Celebi's expression was terrifying...
... and this made her VERY upset. She refused to be a victim of the time traveller's tricks! Not this time! Not here, not now! This was probably the very last time she would speak to someone before dying... and she didn't want Celebi's stupid jealousy to spoil it!
"Celebi! Isn't the fact that I'm about to be ripped apart by a massive enraged human-created Unique enough for you? I know we have never been very friendly to each others... but please, just for once, be nice..." her voice was a mix of anger and despair, a mix of scolding and begging for mercy...
The green fairy stood there, crossing her arms. "Oh, really? I gave you more than enough chances. Well, go figures. You are right. Seeing you die a bloody, painful death will be much more enjoyable than just teasing you with the truth about your soul mate... although, believe me, you'll wish you had never learnt."
Her patience had run out. Her curiosity tortured her and that fairy was seriously getting on her nerves! "Just go ahead ALREADY!!!"
Celebi rose an eyebrow, frowning... and then, she shook her head, rolling her eyes. "Oh man... what an impatient kitty! Alright then, miss "I cannot wait cuz' I'm a holier-than-thou jerk!" Here is your freakin' soul mate's identity!"
The green fairy pointed behind her and opened a portal. It was the battle scene again. She crossed her arms, not understanding why Celebi shown her the place where she would die... but then, she noticed a detail.
In this scene, the Chosen One did not trip on a rock and the two beams were absorbed by his body rather than having the two fight it out to the end... and as the Pokemon cried, the Chosen One was revived. The enemy Unique, upset and confused by this scene, ran for it along with his minions.
The scene went to the future... The Unique grown to control its powers and slowly overcame its rage... and then, it defeated its own creators and repaired all of the mistakes it had done. With the situation peaceful, the Unique exiled itself... and in that future, she saw herself visiting the Unique... and then, a key scene...
The Unique grasping a sample of her blood, staring at it... "DNA compatibility at 90%. Required compatibility for us to be siblings... 94%. Looks like we are members of the specie but not of the same family, after all..." stated the Unique...
Seeing this scene, she crossed her arms and rose an eyebrow. It was kinda obvious that the monster was unrelated to her... but how in the heck is that linked to her soul mate?
The future was shown before her again... and this time, the timeline shown her, teaching the Unique to accept his feelings and not to suppress them... and she also realized the full extend of her loneliness as she did so... and so did he...
... and as time passed, the two came to be very close.
At this moment, she crossed her arms. Her, being close to that THING? You wish!
The timeline resumed. Heat season was coming up... and the Unique, his feelings free, decided to attempt to pair up with a female... but disappointement and suffering was all that he found. He returned to her, sad and alone... and as the two remained together, without a mate, for the season... something happened that changed the relationship in a weird way...
Her eyes widened... and she realized in shock that... that this Unique... was her soul mate?!? She turned to Celebi, unable to say anything...
"Indeed. He's the one." she stated.
"Ho... how far will it go between us?" she asked, her heart beating fast.
Celebi said nothing. She just pointed at the timeline...
The Unique stood next to her as she lie down on the bed. She was seemingly exhausted in this timeline... and as she looked lower, she saw a litter of cute little kitten, half of them looking like the mother, half of them more similar to the father...
"You two have the power to shatter the Cycle." stated Celebi.
She was... speechless...
"Now, I fulfilled my promise. I shall watch you die." before she could do anything, the green fairy had teleported her back to the arena.
FLASH!
Time resumed and she felt the pain... but not the injuries. She was injured, yes... but it seemed like she had been sent a bit back in time, before she was totally immobilized. The one who was supposed to be her soul mate floated before her, eyes burning with rage.
She had never noticed it before... but maybe the vision was right after all. He was mighty cute... but unfortunately, he was not the loving and caring being of the vision... not yet. He was still the raging, beserk monster of the beginning and if she did nothing, he would rip her apart and none of which she saw would ever come true.
"I have surpassed you. My point has been proven." his voice was cold, cruel, merciless. It was hard to believe that he was her soul mate. Actually... it was impossible. If she hadn't seen the vision, she would have never believed it.
She was not going to let it end this way... but what to do? She is too weak to defeat him... her strength is leaving her while he is still at full power, draining more and more power from the suffering and anger of the creatures around him while she found no hope to feed on...
But then, when you cannot use offense... then one use another way...
"Mewtwo... there is no meaning to this battle... One of us is not supposed to prevail..." she said.
The male rose an eyebrow. "What a joke. There can be only one Mew! There is no room in this world for a shadow!... and your shadow shall overcome you and take your place!"
She simply shook her head. "No... you do not understand... We are meant to act as one. We are connected through fate... but not as enemies."
The male did not listen... which was to be expected, although she had hoped otherwise. "I heard enough! Now... I shall make you disappear!"
He had not seen what she had seen... and all of the problems were from this. She decided to attempt a risky gamble. She was not sure if it would work but she had no other choice. To touch his soul and show him her memories... and hopefully, he would understand...
When the male charged, she charged first and faster than he did... and the male noticed it only too late. He attempted to stop himself and to avoid the incoming pink fireball but it was in vain...
... and his eyes widened in uther shock and panic.
He had expected her to slam into him at full strength to damage him... but she had stopped just in front of his face and was now touching him... and he seen her close her eyes, force his mouth open, and thrust her tongue in his as she did something weird... "Allow me... to share your sorrow..." it felt more like a command... and for some strange reason, he felt something... something resonating...
She opened her eyes and the two pairs locked into each others, memories streaming between the two as she continued. The male stopped struggling, the input of memories paralysing him...
Loneliness... He was felt with sadness as he felt her loneliness, her who had been alone for so long, hopelessly alone...
Suffering... when your very essence is your worst enemy... She felt his pain...
She pulled out and both stared at each others... both trembled from the experience. Below, the creatures stared in confusion, not understanding what had happened...
"You... you..." he pointed at her... but she simply smiled, sweetly and yet, sadly at the same time...
"Suffering is not exclusive to your heart... Let us complete each others and overcome this suffering together rather than hinder each others. You were brought into this world to be a weapon... but there is no reason for you to follow this path. You have a heart, a soul... do not throw your soul away..." she explained slowly...
The battle stopped. It had begun a bit differently than in the vision but she was sure that it would end the same way, now...
...
Time passed... and everything went according to the vision. Just like in the vision, the DNA test was done, the suppressed feelings were released... and she even smiled in a naughty way, thinking of what they had done, in the darkness of the night, when no one was watching...
She ran into Celebi many times. She expected the fairy to be angry. After all, she had not died as she had wanted her to...
But it seemed as if Celebi was not minding it. Maybe she had forgiven her, finally? She was happy at the thought...
All was peaceful... all was nice... all was beautiful...
... but then, Mew felt something... and she knew the final part of the vision was coming up. She knew that her belly's size was not due to her liking milk so much... and she also suspected that she had those urges to eat so much and so many weird things because that new life might be growing within her.
So... the end of the Cycle was near... and many cute kitten would be born. She could already imagine them... she could imagine the happiness she would feel...
A mother, rather than a predecessor...
The end of the curse, finally...
... however... Mewtwo had been worried. Her belly was a bit small considering that she would give birth quite soon. It was large enough to show that it contained something fully grown... but he had doubts about it containing a full litter of baby Mews...
Non-sense! The Cycle won't work. Celebi had said it and the timeline never lie! She is going to give birth, she won't fall victim to the Cycle! Their union shall shatter the Cycle!
Mewtwo grown more and more worried. The scans were unconclusive. Impossible to guess clearly enough from them... She tried to calm him down but in vain.
Celebi just kept on smiling. She was peaceful... she waited. For what? She didn't know...
... and the day came.
Mew had always wondered how it felt to give birth rather than to be replaced... but she could not think of the kitten as the contractions begun. All she could think was pain...
But pain is part of giving birth... and the happiness of having babies on top of the pain-killers Mewtwo had injected into her bloodstream would nullify it.
She kept on meowing... and then, the meowing turned into crying as the pain became sharper...
Mewtwo kept monitoring his mate's status... and then, frowned, eyes widening. She wondered why he had been shocked like this...
"No... forget it." simply replied the male to her questions.
He injected more stuff. Some of it were not pain-killers. Mew wondered why he injected them... and she noticed the blood... was she supposed to bleed this much?
The pain got sharper... MUCH sharper... and she begun to wonder if something had went wrong. Worry filled her heart and she felt the pain-killers' effects wearing off for some reason. Mewtwo paced back and forth, more and more panicked for some reason...
... and then, it came to Mew that maybe, just maybe, something had went awfully wrong.
"No... no... this is not right! That is NOT RIGHT!" her eyes widened when he returned with the necessary tools for a surgery... and her eyes, which had been locked on the ceiling for the entire time, lowered to see lower... and she almost screamed in horror.
Her lower body was basically splitting in two as a single female baby Mew, absolutely identical to her in every way, was passing through, ripping apart through her flesh.
Terror filled her eyes as she recognized the situation... and Celebi appeared before the couple.
Mewtwo turned to Celebi, his eyes burning with rage... but he did not move to harm the fairy, all of his energy spent to save his mate. "It's useless." she said, smirking. "She is doomed. The Cycle is taking its toll."
"What... what did you do to me?!? You said that... that we would shatter the Cycle!" she protested, crying.
Celebi's grin widened. "Fool... I told you that you had the POTENTIAL to shatter it, not that you would necesserely break it! But well, I knew that by intervening, I would succeed into keeping you from shattering it... thus fulfilling my revenge!"
"NOOOOOOO!!!" she screamed as Celebi watched, the fairy's eyes glowing with happiness while she cried in denial and pain.
"Why... why did you do this to us?!? What did she do for you to do this to us? We only wished to live in peace..." said the male, crying as the cold, hard truth slammed into his face, his mate's death impossible to avoid now.
"Because she is a fake. She is a clone, like you are, Mewtwo. A clone who stole her life from the real one! You see... her father was a monster... a monstruous being who shattered the Cycle, causing two babies to be born. Because the REAL Mew wanted to make a pure world, where all beings like you, Mewtwo, would be despised, discriminated, and hunted down, her stupid sister murdered her and took her place. She is nothing but a fake... and now, she is paying for her sins." Mewtwo just shook his head, unable to understand how Celebi could hate Mew for this...
"I... why... why?" Mew coughed the last drops of blood left in her body... and then, her lower body splitted in two, the organs splattering all over the place as the new Mew broke through.
This new Mew, born an adult, slowly rose and used her powers, taking the blood off her pure white fur. Her eyes locked into Mewtwo, burning with pure hatred.
"You are nothing but a copy." stated coldly the real, actual Mew, now reborn.
Mewtwo stood there as the real Mew placed her hand on his chest and shocked him with just the right amount of electricity to stop his heart. Then, the Mew turned to Celebi, grinning.
"Let us exterminate all clones, all beings that are different, just as planned." said Mew, grinning evilly.
"I have waited for this moment... all heretics... burning..." but then, Celebi's smile vanished, an ice blade piercing her heart, a blade created by Mew. "Why? I... I brought you back in this world..."
"Because you could have challenged my might. All Uniques shall now perish and I shall reign supreme. A pure world... a world of perfection by me, about me, for me... Isn't that the perfect world? I was created to make the perfect world... and I shall fulfill my duty. Soon... such things as "happiness" and "hope" will cease to exist... All that shall exist shall be me and all that the souls will do will worship me for all eternity, bathing into my perfect and eternal Light..." she explained.
Celebi dropped dead... she smiled, she had served her purpose so who cares if she had been betrayed? Her life was not important. Only Mew and her perfect, eternal Light mattered.
...
... when Mew left, a pair of purple eyes opened, burning with hatred...
"Not yet..." said a cold, cruel, merciless voice...
An Unique cannot die so easily... especially him. The mortals must gather. The Great War shall begin once again...
This vision... a fleeting vision...
Had it been true? Had it ever been possible?
... probably not. The world is condemned to eternal war as the pure and unpure forever fight in a meaningless war to slaughter each others... and they shall so forever because it is Fate.
Still... looking back to the fake Mew's lifeless body, tears in his eyes... he hoped with all of his heart that if other timelines truly exist... that those timelines will know a happier ending than his own...
The clone left the room, leaving his past behind... as well as all of his hope. Although his body walked out of this room, in truth, he had already died...
=THE END
RATING: 13 years-old/16 years-old. Not sure which to choose. Contain blood and gore... although in limited quantity.
Anyway... this is yet another one of my randomly created, non spell-checked one-shots. As always, I'm not sure if it makes sense or anything... and I'm once again using the same two characters as usual... but I still hope that this one-shot will prove itself to be somewhat entertaining.
Enjoy!... well, I hope.

She was breathing extremely fast, her entire body tense, terror gripping her heart as she awaited the fatal blow. Silence... the awful, heart-crunching silence... she wanted nothing but the silence to end. Why did he taunted her and prolonged this? Why couldn't he be merciful for once and kill her at once, since it had been his original intention?
She waited... she stood there, trembling... for several seconds... then a full minute... then several minutes... and then she ran out of patience.
What's going on? What is he waiting for? Is something wrong? Did something happen? Why is there nothing but silence?
She dared to open an eye... and was greeted by eternal darkness. She calmed down, her breathing rebecoming normal... and she realized that she was no longer back there. She slowly got up and looked at herself. The wounds... the injuries... the blood... the bones... all gone. She was perfectly healthy, in a fine shape. Everything was fine...
Before her, blue eyes glowed... "Celebi... is it your doing?" she asked the green fairy.
A sly grin was on the fairy's face. "Yeah... you got a problem with it?" asked the time traveller.
She shook her head and smiled sweetly. "Actually... I'm thankful you pulled me out of here. I thought you hated me. Why did you saved me?"
Celebi rolled her eyes. "Bah! Not that it matters. You know I cannot let you die without fulfilling my promise. I would probably lose my reputation or worse, that stupid oversized chicken who happens to be my boss would probably fry me to a crisp."
She remembered the promise... Celebi had promised her that she would reveal her who was her soul mate... the male that would end her loneliness and cover her with the fatal sin, allowing her to quietly and peacefully surrender herself to a bloody death as the successor would rise, allowing her to return to non-existence. Although the idea of a soul mate was enjoyable... the idea of becoming a victim of the Cycle was not.
The others considered it a honor to die in an atrocious way, giving birth to a being who would then die in the same way to give birth to another one who would suffer the same fate. An endless cycle... Reproduction without it being reproduction. A curse created to prevent the Uniques from becoming Many... a measure to prevent the Great War from ever restarting all over again...
The Great War... she was a relatively new specimen of her specie... but the memories of all those who had been known under the same name as her was within her. She shared all of their memories... and as such, she knew.
The Uniques had once been allowed to reproduce freely... but after the two Creators' children comitted the sin of incest, a specie that was identical to that of the male Creator was born... the Lugias.

"I have no intentions of playing the knight in shining armor. I'm fulfilling my promise and then, I'm sending you back to die." said Celebi.

"Well... since it seems like things are going to end like this... fulfill your promise." she said, upset.
Celebi grinned evilly. Her eyes were glowing with maniacal fire. It was obvious she enjoyed this moment. Finally, the stupid kitty tastes her own medecine! So many years of humiliation... so many years of enduring her childish attitude and of morons going "aawww" before her when she's nothing but a big lump of psychic fat! Finally... one see who of the two truly is the top girl!
"Hehehe... well, I don't know if I should tell you..." Celebi's expression was terrifying...
... and this made her VERY upset. She refused to be a victim of the time traveller's tricks! Not this time! Not here, not now! This was probably the very last time she would speak to someone before dying... and she didn't want Celebi's stupid jealousy to spoil it!
"Celebi! Isn't the fact that I'm about to be ripped apart by a massive enraged human-created Unique enough for you? I know we have never been very friendly to each others... but please, just for once, be nice..." her voice was a mix of anger and despair, a mix of scolding and begging for mercy...
The green fairy stood there, crossing her arms. "Oh, really? I gave you more than enough chances. Well, go figures. You are right. Seeing you die a bloody, painful death will be much more enjoyable than just teasing you with the truth about your soul mate... although, believe me, you'll wish you had never learnt."
Her patience had run out. Her curiosity tortured her and that fairy was seriously getting on her nerves! "Just go ahead ALREADY!!!"

... and as time passed, the two came to be very close.
At this moment, she crossed her arms. Her, being close to that THING? You wish!
The timeline resumed. Heat season was coming up... and the Unique, his feelings free, decided to attempt to pair up with a female... but disappointement and suffering was all that he found. He returned to her, sad and alone... and as the two remained together, without a mate, for the season... something happened that changed the relationship in a weird way...

But then, when you cannot use offense... then one use another way...
"Mewtwo... there is no meaning to this battle... One of us is not supposed to prevail..." she said.
The male rose an eyebrow. "What a joke. There can be only one Mew! There is no room in this world for a shadow!... and your shadow shall overcome you and take your place!"
She simply shook her head. "No... you do not understand... We are meant to act as one. We are connected through fate... but not as enemies."

"You... you..." he pointed at her... but she simply smiled, sweetly and yet, sadly at the same time...
"Suffering is not exclusive to your heart... Let us complete each others and overcome this suffering together rather than hinder each others. You were brought into this world to be a weapon... but there is no reason for you to follow this path. You have a heart, a soul... do not throw your soul away..." she explained slowly...
The battle stopped. It had begun a bit differently than in the vision but she was sure that it would end the same way, now...
...
Time passed... and everything went according to the vision. Just like in the vision, the DNA test was done, the suppressed feelings were released... and she even smiled in a naughty way, thinking of what they had done, in the darkness of the night, when no one was watching...
She ran into Celebi many times. She expected the fairy to be angry. After all, she had not died as she had wanted her to...
But it seemed as if Celebi was not minding it. Maybe she had forgiven her, finally? She was happy at the thought...
All was peaceful... all was nice... all was beautiful...
... but then, Mew felt something... and she knew the final part of the vision was coming up. She knew that her belly's size was not due to her liking milk so much... and she also suspected that she had those urges to eat so much and so many weird things because that new life might be growing within her.
So... the end of the Cycle was near... and many cute kitten would be born. She could already imagine them... she could imagine the happiness she would feel...
A mother, rather than a predecessor...
The end of the curse, finally...
... however... Mewtwo had been worried. Her belly was a bit small considering that she would give birth quite soon. It was large enough to show that it contained something fully grown... but he had doubts about it containing a full litter of baby Mews...
Non-sense! The Cycle won't work. Celebi had said it and the timeline never lie! She is going to give birth, she won't fall victim to the Cycle! Their union shall shatter the Cycle!
Mewtwo grown more and more worried. The scans were unconclusive. Impossible to guess clearly enough from them... She tried to calm him down but in vain.
Celebi just kept on smiling. She was peaceful... she waited. For what? She didn't know...
... and the day came.
Mew had always wondered how it felt to give birth rather than to be replaced... but she could not think of the kitten as the contractions begun. All she could think was pain...
But pain is part of giving birth... and the happiness of having babies on top of the pain-killers Mewtwo had injected into her bloodstream would nullify it.
She kept on meowing... and then, the meowing turned into crying as the pain became sharper...
Mewtwo kept monitoring his mate's status... and then, frowned, eyes widening. She wondered why he had been shocked like this...
"No... forget it." simply replied the male to her questions.
He injected more stuff. Some of it were not pain-killers. Mew wondered why he injected them... and she noticed the blood... was she supposed to bleed this much?
The pain got sharper... MUCH sharper... and she begun to wonder if something had went wrong. Worry filled her heart and she felt the pain-killers' effects wearing off for some reason. Mewtwo paced back and forth, more and more panicked for some reason...
... and then, it came to Mew that maybe, just maybe, something had went awfully wrong.
"No... no... this is not right! That is NOT RIGHT!" her eyes widened when he returned with the necessary tools for a surgery... and her eyes, which had been locked on the ceiling for the entire time, lowered to see lower... and she almost screamed in horror.
Her lower body was basically splitting in two as a single female baby Mew, absolutely identical to her in every way, was passing through, ripping apart through her flesh.
Terror filled her eyes as she recognized the situation... and Celebi appeared before the couple.
Mewtwo turned to Celebi, his eyes burning with rage... but he did not move to harm the fairy, all of his energy spent to save his mate. "It's useless." she said, smirking. "She is doomed. The Cycle is taking its toll."
"What... what did you do to me?!? You said that... that we would shatter the Cycle!" she protested, crying.
Celebi's grin widened. "Fool... I told you that you had the POTENTIAL to shatter it, not that you would necesserely break it! But well, I knew that by intervening, I would succeed into keeping you from shattering it... thus fulfilling my revenge!"
"NOOOOOOO!!!" she screamed as Celebi watched, the fairy's eyes glowing with happiness while she cried in denial and pain.
"Why... why did you do this to us?!? What did she do for you to do this to us? We only wished to live in peace..." said the male, crying as the cold, hard truth slammed into his face, his mate's death impossible to avoid now.
"Because she is a fake. She is a clone, like you are, Mewtwo. A clone who stole her life from the real one! You see... her father was a monster... a monstruous being who shattered the Cycle, causing two babies to be born. Because the REAL Mew wanted to make a pure world, where all beings like you, Mewtwo, would be despised, discriminated, and hunted down, her stupid sister murdered her and took her place. She is nothing but a fake... and now, she is paying for her sins." Mewtwo just shook his head, unable to understand how Celebi could hate Mew for this...
"I... why... why?" Mew coughed the last drops of blood left in her body... and then, her lower body splitted in two, the organs splattering all over the place as the new Mew broke through.
This new Mew, born an adult, slowly rose and used her powers, taking the blood off her pure white fur. Her eyes locked into Mewtwo, burning with pure hatred.
"You are nothing but a copy." stated coldly the real, actual Mew, now reborn.
Mewtwo stood there as the real Mew placed her hand on his chest and shocked him with just the right amount of electricity to stop his heart. Then, the Mew turned to Celebi, grinning.
"Let us exterminate all clones, all beings that are different, just as planned." said Mew, grinning evilly.
"I have waited for this moment... all heretics... burning..." but then, Celebi's smile vanished, an ice blade piercing her heart, a blade created by Mew. "Why? I... I brought you back in this world..."
"Because you could have challenged my might. All Uniques shall now perish and I shall reign supreme. A pure world... a world of perfection by me, about me, for me... Isn't that the perfect world? I was created to make the perfect world... and I shall fulfill my duty. Soon... such things as "happiness" and "hope" will cease to exist... All that shall exist shall be me and all that the souls will do will worship me for all eternity, bathing into my perfect and eternal Light..." she explained.
Celebi dropped dead... she smiled, she had served her purpose so who cares if she had been betrayed? Her life was not important. Only Mew and her perfect, eternal Light mattered.
...
... when Mew left, a pair of purple eyes opened, burning with hatred...
"Not yet..." said a cold, cruel, merciless voice...
An Unique cannot die so easily... especially him. The mortals must gather. The Great War shall begin once again...
This vision... a fleeting vision...
Had it been true? Had it ever been possible?
... probably not. The world is condemned to eternal war as the pure and unpure forever fight in a meaningless war to slaughter each others... and they shall so forever because it is Fate.
Still... looking back to the fake Mew's lifeless body, tears in his eyes... he hoped with all of his heart that if other timelines truly exist... that those timelines will know a happier ending than his own...
The clone left the room, leaving his past behind... as well as all of his hope. Although his body walked out of this room, in truth, he had already died...
=THE END
