Predator
The Viridian Incident
Chapter 3 - Predator
It was night in the forest. Normally a few night active Pokemon should move on the ground but nothing happened. There was nothing but total silence. Suddenly a young male human ran through the scene. He ran with full speed and his face showed fear. Nothing but bare fear. Just 2 seconds after he passed, the woods behind him disappeared in a dark blue glowing. A loud bang followed and dust flew around. The smaller plants on the ground were wiped away and the trees around were shaken by the explosion.
The boy looked over his shoulder to see what happened. All he could see in the darkness and through the whole dust were 2 bright glowing spots nearly 2 metres above the ground.
He jumped aside as another ball of energy was shot in his direction. The trees ahead were simply blown away by that and so he changed the direction. His legs hurt. He didn't know for how long he was running now.
But what had happened?
***
Mewtwo stood upon a big rock. She and Daniel had took a rest next to it a few minutes ago. It was already late and the sun was disappearing behind the horizon in its typical red-orange light. The forest was thin at this place so the forest border couldn't be far away anymore.
"Do you see something interesting?" Daniel yelled up while he put on his bag pack. Silly question. For her nearly everything on this site was interesting. "Yes." she answered in a low tone. "What?" Daniel responded with his loud clear voice from the ground 20 metres away. "Nothing" Mewtu answered trough her mind. She heard a quit curse from beneath and chuckled.
Daniel sighed. "Let us go. If we're lucky we can reach the city this night" City. Civilization. A warm bed. That was what he wanted now. Not to sleep on the ground. "The sooner the better!" he thought. Meanwhile Mewtwo had climbed down. Somehow she looked happier now. They haven't seen any other Pokemon since this terrible incident on afternoon. Maybe they knew what Mewtwo had done.
Daniel and Mewtwo continued their odyssey.
They walked southwards again side by side. Mewtwo looked over to Daniel the whole time. A disturbing look full of curiosity.
�Are you reading my minds again or why are you staring at me? " He said after a while.
"Of course not. I'm just looking." She responded with a touch of played innocence.
"If you want to know something just ask, ok?" Daniel answered trying to ignore her look.
"It's nothing." Mewtwo giggled. "If you say so." He answered with a sceptic tone.
Only 15 minutes later they stopped. "Wait. I...I can feel something. No. Someone." The female said. Daniel just stood there and looked puzzled. For him everything seemed normal. Well, at least what you can call normal by these circumstances. "Are you sure? Could be some Pokemon."
"No. They're different. But I don't know where they are." Mewtwo answered. Somehow her abilities came back one after the other.
***
It was Daniel who ran there. He could barely see the trees around him but somehow managed to avoid them. Another explosion just 10m behind him. The shockwave slammed him against a tree. His head and arms got badly injured by this but he still kept up running.
Another shot flew in his direction but missed and so it crashed against a group of very big trees. In the next moment, after the explosion, they didn't exist anymore.
***
Slowly Daniel and Mewtwo went further. Unsure about those contacts they tried to find out who they were. It was pretty unusual that so many persons were hiking in this forest so close to each other.
The both came close to a big clearing. The lay down so nobody could spot them easily. It was very loud and through the bushes they could see a helicopter landing there. Many persons in black clothes stood in a row to the helicopter, shielding their eyes. Due to the distance Daniel couldn't see very much.
A person came out of the vehicle and talked to some others who approached.
"We have to leave! Immediately."
"Stop this or I'll get a bad headache!" Daniel responded but stopped when he saw Mewtwos face. He knew she was serious about this. "What's up?" "Don't talk anymore. Someone is near and he has -"She was interrupted
"Don't move!" A loud male voice yelled. "I found it." He told into his radio device.
The person approached. He had a gun pointed on Mewtwo and Daniel. He too wore black clothes. But now Daniel could see something else. On the overall was a big red "R"
Two other uniformed men with guns came along. Fear showed up on Daniels face. And it shouldn't be the last time for today that he faced such a danger. Mewtwo however felt pain. Her deep blue eyes showed some mysterious kind of pain mixed with uncertain feelings.
"Stand up! No hasty movements!" The man who appeared first yelled at them.
Daniel obeyed immediately. His companion didn't even move. "Please don't do something wrong now" Daniel thought scared.
Slowly the female rose. She was totally aware of the situation, even if it didn't look like.
"We got the object, Sir. We're returning to the LZ. Scout Gamma out." The third one spoke into his radio device. The noise of a voice responded through the device but neither Daniel nor Mewtwo could understand what it said.
"Move forward!" The second said, pressing the muzzle of his gun against Daniels chest.
Unable to say a word Daniel made a step backwards and turned around. He looked after his companion but she didn't move again. "Come on. Don't make 'em angry." He whispered.
"Shut up! You don't speak until we tell you to do so!" the second grunt shouted.
Mewtwo followed too. But her face was one of anger, hate and pain. Many of the memories she had lost returned like a dam in her mind was suddenly broken.
The grunts moved Daniel and Mewtwo back to the clearing, where everything got very busy now. On the way other men with futuristic looking guns joined the group and escorted them.
***
With every step Daniel got more nervous. The grunts threatened him from time to time but never laid a finger on Mewtwo. Sure. After what he heard they must have been after her. Probably he would get out of this with any more trouble.
Mewtwo instead generated more and more anger inside her. She only noticed the people around her as weak, mental signals.
All the lies. All the pain.
***
With the last of his remaining energy, Daniel went further. The world around him was an inferno of explosions and shockwaves.
He was hit by some splinters of trees. He trembled and fell over. Totally exhausted and unwilling to stand up he turned around. Daniel finished mentally with his life and made ready to face his executioner. He was sure that the look of those two glowing spots would haunt him even in the dead.
Slowly his predator made its way through the dust...
***
A man approached. Dressed in a brown business suit and followed by a big catlike Pokemon he approached the now 12 grunts and their new prisoners. He seemed to be relieved.
Daniel could feel a wave of anger going through him when the man showed up but he was sure it wasn't himself.
"Looks like you decided to return to us." The man said from a distance of 15 metres. "And who's this stubborn beside you? You were not caught by this one, were you?" He continued amused. Daniel could feel the air getting warmer.
"You there!" A grunt pushed Daniel forwards. "Who are you?!" The voice of the man hadn't any kind of amusement anymore. It was impatient and stressed
"My- My name is Daniel Hal. I-I found her in the woods, Sir! She was-"Daniel stammered before he was interrupted. "Shut up."
The Man, He didn't introduce himself, snapped one's fingers. "Take him out of my sight!" He yelled.
Nothing happened but there was a sinister kind of silence.
"I ordered you to take him away!" The man repeated. "C-c-ca can't m-move" one of the grunts brought over his lips.
"YOU"
"LIAR"
"YOU"
"PATHETIC"
"HUMAN"
Next, the iron grip around the grunts and Daniel was gone. But before they could notice, they flew at least 10 metres through the air. Daniel was thrown against a shrub which made the landing less painful. Some of the grunts had less luck. Their back got broken when they crashed against trees or got at least badly hurt. Pure energy formed in a circle around Mewtwo. She hadn't moved a step but her eyes glowed in a dangerous light. Daniel couldn't hear the screams around him. He could only hear his heart beating in a fast rhythm. The strange man was lifted up a bit. He held his throat with his hand like he couldn't breathe. In the next moment his Neck was bent 90 degrees backwards. He fell down and was dead. "Humans!"
An angry voice seemed to yell but Daniel couldn't locate it.
A blast of energy shot into the helicopter and melted its frame before the fuel tank was hit and an explosion let everything around vanish in flames.
Some of the tents around were somehow stomped into the ground without any visible reason.
An instinct deep inside of Daniels mind stirred. It was an instinct as old as mankind itself. And for now it should save Daniels life.
He ran away as fast as he could. Not that he came very far, but it saved him from the big explosion of pure energy that happened directly behind him.
He didn't look back. It was better for his mind, not to see what exactly happened behind him. Daniel ran further and back into the woods.
***
There were many things to work up in her mind. All the memories and all the emotions which charged on her mind in such a small amount of time. Most of them would be considered as "bad" by many people. But how could you call it like this, if it is everything you got to know in your live? Hatred. Lies. Pain. Betrayal.
And all was embodied by one face. A face she fled for and that tried to bring her back to this. No. She couldn't accept this. Within seconds her fears and hatred built up a destructive energy and which she couldn't focus. She lost the sense of her surroundings. Something happened but she didn't notice it.
This Face. This ugly face. Her mind formed words. She couldn't control it but she agreed with what her subconscious said there.
"YOU"
"LIAR"
"YOU"
"PATHETIC"
"HUMAN"
Slowly but strong. The amount of psychical energy reached an amount where she couldn't bear it anymore. She had to release it, get rid of it. This face. Yes.
It seemed like she would watch the things around her from a big distance. Like she wasn't really there. The face vanished. But the anger was still within her.
"Humans!"
The humans. Yes, the humans forced her to all these terrible things. She would hunt them down to be free of these things.
And there was one. A human which moved away from her. He would mean trouble to her. He had to vanish too.
"No! No! You can't! What's up with you?! Why?! Argh-" Daniel stammered before his words were cut.
"You're human. You have to vanish!"
Daniel closed his eyes and mentally he finished with life...again?
There was something strange on him. Strange and familiar. Like Mewtwo has sensed it before sometime. It was not only fear. The fear living things have before they're about to die. No there was more. The cer-certitude that it's over now.
Daniels mind faded away. Everything got black. The lack of oxygen and the disability to stop it, let drift him away. But the grip around his throat loosened and he fell on the ground. Exhausted and gasping for air. He didn't know what happened and he didn't care for. What he didn't notice: In front of him laid a strange creature with white fur.
Unconscious and helpless.
To be continued.
