Distorted Remnant: A Remake of "Distorted Reality"

Chapter 43: Atlas...One More Time

*Y/n POV*

I stepped out of the snow covered pine trees, feeling the snow landing on my head and shoulders.

"Atlas," I said, looking at the snow covered landscape, "Feels like I was just here."

"Cause we were." MewTwo said, walking up next to me.

"Oh yeah. What're we doing here again?"

"You and I are responsible for going to get that Weiss Schnee girl," He explained, "Weren't you listening at all?"

"Nope."

"Well here's the short version: You, me, and Darkrai are criminals in Atlas, but for some reason, the military hasn't told anyone. Darkrai and Neo are laying low to hide from the military. Blake and Yang are trying to find Cresselia and Team RNJR, and you and I have to go get Weiss."

"Got it,"I said, "So that's the Schnee Mansion?"

We both looked ahead, towards a massive mansion down a long road. There was a wall with barbed wire around the entire property, and armed guards. The large gate was marked with a massive S, which I could guess stood for Schnee.

"Well, let's go."

We walked onto the massive path, following it up to the house.

"Stop right there," A guard said, as we walked up to the gate, "Who are you two?"

I looked left and right, noticing that there were no guards. I looked towards MewTwo, and we nodded.

"Uh, hello?!" The guard yelled, pointing his rifle at us, "Who are you?!"

I punched him in the face, and MewTwo grabbed him, knocking him out.

"Alright, now that that's done..."

We walked up to the gate, and pushed it open. We walked in, closing the gate behind us.

"Okay, that's not going to work from here on," MewTwo warned, "What now?"

"Don't worry," I said, "Just play along."

I knocked on the door, and after a few minutes, a maid opened it.

"Um... hello?" She said, "I don't believe Mr.Schnee had any appointments today. Who might you be?"

"Excuse me?" I said, in my most uppity voice, "I am sir Gallus Knightus, Duke of Frakenstein, 3rd in line for the throne of Galileo. This is my assistant, Sir Frankia. I believe Mr.Schnee and I have had an appointment scheduled for many months now."

She looked at us for a second, before letting us in with a bow.

"Right this way, your grace."

We walked inside, and the maid turned to us.

"Wait right here sirs," She said, "I'll go tell Mr.Schnee you're here."

She walked up a set of stairs, and I heard her talking to someone.

"Duke? I don't remember any duke." An old man's voice.

"Well sir, he's here," The maid, "He's the 3rd in line for the throne of Galileo, perhaps that jogs your memory?"

"No. And I don't know any place called Galileo, either."

"Either way, I believe you should go meet him. Should I send him up?"

"No, I'll go meet him."

I heard someone stand up, and begin walking downstairs. Three people came down, a butler, the maid from before, and an old man.

"Pardon me for the wait, gentlemen," The old man said, "It's nice to meet you, your grace."

"The same to you, sir," I said, "I must say, you look a lot better than I thought you did when we talked over the scroll."

We both laughed, and I saw MewTwo shaking his head.

I spoke to him telepathically, 'I'll distract him, you find Weiss.'

He subtly flashed a thumbs up, and I turned back to the old man, who I could guess was Jacques Schnee.

"Well then," Jacques said, "Klein, would you take their coats?"

"Yes sir." The butler said.

MewTwo and I handed him our coats, and he hung them up nearby.

"Well Jacques," I said, "Shall we speak business? I look so forward to this deal between my country and your company."

"Ah yes, right this way."

He lead me away, out of the room. Before I left, I winked at MewTwo.

*MewTwo POV*

'He's going to get us killed.'

I sighed, and watched the maid and Klein walk off. When they did, and I was alone, I took off up stairs.

"Alright, let's find that girl."
