Do Mews make good fighters?

Discalimer- The Shadow Gang do not belong to me. They belong to Chrissie 
Chimeria. Pokemon do not belong to me I wish they did but they don't. The 
S.A.S don't belong to me either. Practically nothing does. At least the 
character is mine, but she is in a Pokemon body so she doesn't really belong 
to me.

After a moment’s hesitation, she kept her eyes closed and started to 
concentrate harder trying to reach out further, to find some sign of life 
other than the dull throb of the Daemon. But there was nothing, nothing at 
all. That either meant the Daemon had destroyed all manner of life, or…. Or 
it was really fighting the Darken, she thought grimly. Despite the newfound 
power, which was still pumping through her body, power that made her feel 
invincible, she knew it wasn’t enough. Her power mattered little against the 
Darken, foes that she had been running from since she had met them. And just 
because she had beat one Daemon, didn’t mean the other would be a pushover. 
It was madness for her to try and take on both of them. Even so she might 
still have to. Words were coming back to her, words spoken by the strange 
creatures. One of them had said something about the Daemons hunting for 
bodies, strong bodies. Who apart from her was stronger than the Darken? 
Allied with them the Daemon would be almost unstoppable. There was little 
chance of her standing up to them. What if they were even making that pact 
now and her arrival would put the final seal on it? Taking a deep breath she 
attempted to stop the barrage of thoughts cascading through her head and 
bring her mind into order. She was already assuming to much, she had 
received no clue of the Daemons attempting to talk others into helping them. 
They could in fact be purely selfish entities. And even if on the other hand 
they were going to make a pact, she decided, they would come after her 
anyway. Keeping away from them wouldn’t prolong her life much. She just had 
to trust in the anger of both sides and hope to keep it a three way fight. 
If worst came to worst she would not give the Darken her body. If the end 
was staring her in the face she had one last weapon to resolve her mistake. 
Electricity flicked through the air around her as she began to summon her 
powers. The time for running had past, it was time for her to fight.
As the dust finally sank again she lifted slightly off the ground before 
shooting upwards into the air, causing another splinter to crack along the 
street. Wind blasting into her face she negotiated her way round the few 
high rise buildings left in the city. All too quickly she was flying over 
sand again, causing it to blow in different shapes beneath her. Her mind 
though was on different matters, concentrating on the faint signal coming 
from the daemon. She would have to be ready to fight as soon as she got 
there. As the claws instinctively started to slide from their sheaths at the 
prospect of battle she started to wonder who she would attack first. The 
Daemon was of course the more important target, as long as the second half 
of him died she would have righted the mistake she had made and no more 
lives would be lost. Her ever-present memory started to conjure up pictures 
at this thought. She had noticed the destruction as she had the city. Large 
craters taking up most of the roads, buildings either on fire or with huge 
pieces missing, as if a giant monster had taken a bite out of it. And of 
course there was a liberal sprinkling of bodies everywhere, Pokemon and 
human, sometimes so disfigured it was hard to tell the difference. It had 
been so eerie as she left, the city completely quiet with not a noise to be 
heard over the sound of burning. The Daemons were incredibly destructive. 
Even so she couldn’t just forget the Darken either. Every time she had 
fought them so far she had lost. There were just so many of them to fight at 
the one time. And what made it worse was that every blow they landed on her 
hurt drained energy from her. She couldn’t underestimate them now that a new 
enemy had arrived. When she finally attacked she would have to keep her eyes 
on both of them. Perhaps she wouldn’t even have to make a choice. If one 
side was down she would try to take out the other and hopefully destroy them 
before the first side were able to get up again. But whatever happened she 
would have to try and watch how she used her energy attacks. They might 
injure the Daemon but if a Daemon got his hands on it, it would turn into an 
energy boost for him. Suddenly and without warning everything went black.
Startled for a second at the quick change in colour, it took her a couple of 
seconds to realise that her two sisters on either side connected to her. 
Quickly working out what this meant she looked around her to see if she 
could find the strange creatures. A green light shone from above and then 
the Gyarados-human descended as if it was swimming through water. Susan 
waited for the others to appear from somewhere but as she started to look 
around the creature started to speak. “You have defeated the Daemons, inside 
and outside. And now you go to fight the second half and banish the Daemon?” 
Waiting for a couple of seconds for the being to continue Susan suddenly 
realised that it had been posed as a question. Staring into the 
expressionless human face she answered “Yes.” “You will be disappointed 
then. Daemons are immortal.” “We know that,” came back Blue’s curt reply. 
“Once brought to this land they cannot be removed.” “What do you mean?” 
“They cannot be killed, only defeated.” “But…” “The one you thought you 
destroyed will have regenerated inside the temple.” There was no response 
from any of the Mews who were all momentarily speechless. Susan finally 
managed to gather her wits and ask weakly, “What can we do then?” The reply 
was made in the same staccato tone that the being had made all her replies 
to them, “Defeat both inside the temple. You will know what to do then.”

I hit the ground hard with my side and I slid along it for a couple of feet 
digging a trench into the ground with my body. When I finally stopped moving 
it took a large effort to force myself to my feet. My right side felt dull 
for the moment but I knew that pain would return very soon. Glaring upwards 
I watched as another Darken was thrown at a tree. The thing had come out of 
nowhere and had started to attack us. Its strength was amazing, even perhaps 
equal to that of the Mew. I shook my head; this was no time to be thinking 
about her, I had to concentrate on the fight. Reaching inside, I started to 
concentrate on the power I could feel inside me. Around me the fight still 
continued as Darken fired black energy at the monster and it replied back 
with physical attacks or sometimes with strange red attacks, which I 
couldn’t sense as being from any type. Suddenly I saw its purple mass turn 
towards me, its red eyes blazing and without warning it charged.  For a 
second everything seemed to pause, all I could see was the huge figure of 
the monstrous creature. I couldn’t move, couldn’t think, all I could see was 
it. The other voices inside me suddenly sounded and everything started to 
move again. Seconds before the creature reached me I blasted my attack into 
him- my mouth open in a wide roar. Black energy shot from me, pillar like, 
slamming into the creature. The ground cracked around us, under the stress 
of the energy. With fierce satisfaction I saw that he was only barely 
holding on, there was nothing that could take me on. Smiling to myself I 
prepared to finish the battle. Reaching deep inside me I concentrated on my 
power. Black electricity sparked round me as the power started to build up. 
Finally turning back to him I let loose a scream; sending the huge ball of 
energy shooting along the pillar of black energy, its explosion would mark 
the end of the battle! As the extra energy struck the being I prepared the 
stop the energy shooting out of me. But there was no explosion. The extra 
energy hit the being like an out of control train, but it had no effect on 
the monster. In fact it started to move forward, against the flow of my 
beam! This wasn’t possible, how could it have no effect on him?! I had put 
almost all the remainder of my energy into that attack! As he continued to 
move forward I realised with sickening certainty that I couldn’t defeat him. 
I only just had enough energy to keep this beam hitting into him, and it 
didn’t look like it was having much effect. He was only about 10 paces away 
now. Desperately I reached inside myself again looking for more energy and 
almost fainted with the effort. My legs started to feel weak and I could 
feel exhaustion begin to build up in my head. Suddenly two black forms 
through themselves into the monster. As I started at them my mind finally 
recognised them as Darken. My battle brothers, I had forgot about them... 
But even as I extended my mind along the link that connected all of us I 
found that they were like me. Few could move, the most active were the two 
who were trying to fight it. And even as I watched one was hit up into the 
air with a sickening crack, landing on the ground beside me and my other 
brother soon received the same treatment. The beam of energy hitting into 
the monster had dwindled down now to a fairly slim line of energy. As I 
stared dimly at it I saw it turn its head back to meet mine. Its red eyes 
glinted and then it threw itself toward me. There was only one thing for it, 
one last desperate effort. Reaching out with my mind I felt the two minds of 
the Darken beside me and just before the monster reached me I pulled at them 
with all my remaining energy. Two loud screams sounded and then everything 
went black. Sharp pain shot through me, I could feel my bones shifting would 
loud clicks and the uncomfortable sick feeling as my organs moved into 
place. My eyes shot open and I suddenly felt more alive than I had felt in a 
long time. Energy flooded through me, washing away all feelings of pain. 
With little effort the beam of energy grew into a large pillar again, 
slowing the flight of the monster until he was immobile a couple of paces in 
front of me. But I continued to force energy into the attack and it 
continued to rise in size. The monster roared and I could see it dig its 
heels into the ground, but the beam continued to grow and it was suddenly 
thrown back. As it fell back through the air, I concentrated and pulled all 
the energy I could from my body. Before I could feel the effects of losing 
all this energy, I shot the ball of energy along the pillar of black energy. 
When the attack exploded, the force threw me back and I lost my connection 
the beam. I seemed to float in the air for a couple of seconds before 
hitting the ground hard. As I made my way shakily to my feet I looked about, 
but there was no trace of the Daemon left. Most of the tree’s had been 
ripped from the ground by the force of the impact and as I stared around me 
finding my injured brothers with my eyes I saw a couple of cases where they 
had been lucky not to get crushed. Slowly my brethren made their way towards 
me, their movements seeming to pain them. As they gathered around me I took 
one last look around. And that’s when I saw her. Half sitting on the truck 
of an unturned tree, her pink fur unsullied by dust or dirt, her eyes cold 
and calculating. Why didn’t I sense her power earlier? Her power seemed to 
radiate from her almost as if she was a shining light. It was larger than 
last time I noted, trying to concentrate some power. “Well, well. It looks 
like our prey has finally returned. Ready to die?” She turned and stared at 
me while answering my brother who had spoken. “You don’t have enough power 
to defeat me. You are barely able to stand.” I met her gaze, staring back 
into her deeply emerald green eyes. There were angry growls among my 
brothers. “Even if you all attacked me at the same time you couldn’t win. 
You are too weak to fight.” “Even so,” I replied, “we will still fight to 
the death. We won’t just give in and let you kill us!” Her eyes bored into 
mine for another couple of seconds, before she moved up from her position 
and with perfect grace landed on the ground a couple of feet from us. Her 
eyes moved from Darken to Darken, before her eyes finally rested on me 
again. “I didn’t come here to kill you. I’m not even particularly interested 
in fighting you.” What was she talking about? “Don’t try to lie to us! We 
know if given the chance you would destroy us.” “I have my chance now. How 
simple would it be for me to kill you one by one now? I could kill you but I 
don’t particularly want to. As you have just experienced, there are greater 
threats than you.”

The Darken were almost surrounding her, their leader only a couple of paces 
away from her, but there was no fear in Susan’s heart. There was no reason 
to fear the Darken at this moment. If it came to a fight she could easily 
deal with them, as she had noted before, a couple were only barely standing. 
The Darken leader was a problem though. Somehow, as far as she had been able 
to see, he had been able to absorb two of the other Darken to make himself 
more powerful. He was even taller now, about twice the size of the others 
now. If he decided to start absorbing again, she might be in trouble. How 
powerful could he get?
Blue interrupted her thoughts reminding her that the Darken were not the 
problem at the moment.
The Darken leader was staring hard at her, his red eyes like gimlets. “Are 
you talking about that monster we just destroyed?” “It isn’t a monster, not 
a normal one anyway. It’s a Daemon, summoned here many years ago, or rather 
one part of that Daemon.” “You mean there is more than one!?” “There are 
two. I defeated the second half a little while ago.” “Why are you telling us 
this?” The leader addressed her again, his stare sharper if possible. 
“Because the Daemons you and I defeated aren’t dead. At this very moment 
they are leaving a temple in the desert.” There were a couple of seconds of 
outraged silence before a Darken cut in, his voice revealing his frustration 
at having been forced to talk to their arch enemy. “Stop talking nonsense. 
We destroyed that thing.” Quelling the tiny bit of anger, which appeared 
inside her at his tone, she responded her tone ice cold, “it isn’t just as 
simple as destroying it. Daemons are immortal, it doesn’t matter how many 
times you fight it, it can never be ultimately killed. Very soon the Daemon, 
which you fought, or perhaps both will come back here to fight you again. 
You might defeat it the first few times, but eventually you will run out of 
tricks and it will defeat you.” “How do you know all this?” “And why are you 
telling us? Are you only just leaving us alive so it can kill us!” “I know 
because was the one who made the mistake of releasing them. If you actually 
took the time to try and sense it, you would also discover the two signals 
coming from desert.” Turning her head to look at all of them she continued, 
“I am not here simply to prolong your deaths. Because in fact you won’t die. 
It will possess your bodies, or perhaps just the body of your leader. Once 
it does that it will be unstoppable. I will then die along with all the 
others on this planet. If they don’t come after you they will come after me 
instead and the same will happen. I have come to you because I don’t 
particularly want to end my days possessed.” It was the Darken leader who 
first seemed to understand her words for what they meant. “So that’s why you 
came here? To offer an alliance? We would sooner die!” His response was 
answered by a number of growls from the rest of the Darken agreeing with 
their leader. “What about a fate worse than death?” She turned to stare back 
at the Darken leader, ignoring the glares of the others.  It was him she had 
to convince. “I know you can feel them. You know they are immortal. You also 
know if they both come here you haven’t a chance. You may hate me, I don’t 
care. What I do care about is living.  I don’t particularly want to die, but 
if I attack this thing on my own, it will be over for me.”
The scowl didn’t lesson on the Darken leaders face. “You are our shown 
enemy. Our lives don’t matter as much as your death does.” He then moved 
forward slowly on shaking limbs toward her until he was only a couple of 
inches away from her. “Do you really think we will forgive you just because 
some other enemy comes up?” She stared at him, confused for a second. “What 
do you mean forgive? Why should you have to forgive me?” The Darken around 
her suddenly exploded, the leader taking a swipe at her. Dodging his clumsy 
blow with ease, she smashed her foot into his gut. As he fell back she threw 
the sharp point of her tail forward until it was positioned against his 
neck. Some of the other Darken made as if to go forward but she turned her 
face to stare at them. Slowly she removed her tail and moved back from him, 
allowing the Darken leader to get to his feet. “Next time I will remove his 
head.” When the leader raised his head to stare at her, his eyes glared back 
embodying the fiery rage of hell. But she did notice that he made no move 
toward her this time. “Hate me all you want. But if we don’t fight these 
things, soon you won’t have anything left to hate.” After a short pause she 
continued, “I’ll be back here tomorrow. You have a day to decide who you 
would prefer to kill me” Turning quickly she focused her energy before 
shooting up through the foliage of the small forest back into the sky. As 
she shot out into the hot steamy air, her mind was already replying what had 
just been said. Why couldn’t the Darken just try to see the full picture? 
The Daemons could and would destroy everything they could get their hands 
on. The only chance they had was if they both worked together, something she 
wasn’t much in favour of either but something she knew they had to do. 
Smiling grimly to herself, she started to run over the limited options she 
had if they refused.

Sunlight flowed gently around us, the leaves giving it a slightly greenish 
glow, which stood, out well on her pink fur. Her cold green eyes surveyed my 
brothers and me as they had done yesterday. But since then the tables had 
turned in our favour. All of my brothers stood tall and strong, watching her 
carefully and suspiciously. Despite this she still landed in the middle of 
us, apparently without fear. She looked around at us, her cold green eyes 
contrasting strangely with her soft looking body. Every time I saw her I 
felt a mixture of different emotions, but chief among these was anger. Anger 
for what she had done for our creator. Even as I thought this, I could feel 
the anger surge again inside me and I was barely able to stop my face 
twisting into a growl. Hour after hour after she left we had wrestled with 
the problem, arguing as the moon rose high in the sky. But in the end we had 
no choice. My sensory powers were not that strong but even so it wasn’t hard 
to find the Daemons. Strangely though I hadn’t been able to sense her. It 
was strange, when she was up close like now I could hear her heartbeat, the 
churn of her stomach and even a sense of her feelings, but once she moved a 
couple of kilometres from us her signal just disappeared. It made her harder 
to track, but it also made the chase more exciting.
It went against everything that I believed in to even contemplate fighting 
alongside her but it was something I had been forced into. The other Darken 
saw it as a betrayal, a betrayal to our creator but I was their leader. They 
had to follow me. That was why as we followed the pink cat through the woods 
there were angry growls behind me. One thing we were agreed on through. Once 
this problem was dealt with she was dead. We would strike hard and fast and 
gain our revenge. She would not be allowed to slip through our fingers 
again! Up ahead she started to slow until I drew up beside her. Staring up 
at me as we continued to move forward she suddenly spoke. “What do you want 
revenge for?” It took a second for the question to process in my mind and 
when it finally did it was all I could do to stop the anger exploding inside 
me. Glaring down at her I was surprised to see that she was serious. There 
was no humour in her face, just her cold questioning gaze. “Don’t mock me, 
it’s hard enough to be this close to you without ripping you apart!” Her 
face didn’t flinch, and her expression remained cold but I was gratified to 
feel anger pounding through her for a second or two. She did have feelings 
after all….  “I’m not trying to mock you, I just want to understand what 
foolish reason you have for wanting to kill me.” It was then that I finally 
snapped. Spinning round I threw myself at her catching her by surprise. She 
was knocked a considerable distance but before she could rise I was standing 
over her my jaws inches from her chest, a paw poised up in the air. I was 
seconds away from ending it all, finally getting revenge. The feelings of 
desire for her power pounded through me. I just wanted so badly to rip her 
open, to taste her power again. The power I was draining from simply 
touching her made want more, so much more… But something held me back; 
something stopped me from killing her. As I stared down at her I noticed her 
eyes glare in anger before suddenly relaxing back to their normal cold 
glare. “Because of what you did to him. You killed our creator!” I spat down 
at her wanting to see her understand, to possibly see regret or pain, 
something other than her total control. “I didn’t kill him.” My paw smashed 
down at her head, but before it reached her she had flipped me up over her. 
By the time I regained my balance she was in a defence stance. By this time 
as well my brothers had surrounded us. “Don’t you dare lie!” I shouted at 
her, anger exploding again inside me. “Mews don’t lie. I don’t lie. I did 
not kill Dr Mhuy.” Dimly through my rage, I was aware she was speaking the 
truth, I could sense it. But it didn’t register with me for a couple of 
seconds. And when it did I couldn’t let myself believe it. She had to be 
lying, she had to be! Leaping at her I poised my paw above my head preparing 
to rip her head from her shoulders. Her eyes met mine seconds before I 
struck and I paused my strike. She had raised no arm to block my attack, I 
noted abstractedly. And there as I stared into her emerald eyes I fully 
comprehended her words. “Then who did!” I shouted, still furious with anger. 
“Harper”.

Suiceene- Here is another chapter after that long wait. The next chapter 
will probably take a long time to be put up as well but what can you do. 
Review is the answer. Some more extracts from the Darken leader, what do you 
think of him overall?
