This wonderful piece was done by vaporeon249 - all credit goes to her.

This commission is my response to "Another Mashup Sketch" by Tsampikos roughly three and a half months ago. In Tsampikos's work, Mewtwo was being assimilated, and his body destroyed, by a species known as "The Minions" from a game called Ascendancy. I was fairly strong in my insistence that Mewtwo would not allow this to happen; Mewtwo has psychic abilities strong enough to not only foresee events, but create a hurricane powerful enough to destroy the world and turn back time itself (if you consider Mewtwo Strikes Back as proper canon, and I see no reason why it shouldn't be.) Having said that, there's no reason he would not be able to see this coming and prevent it.

The Minions have been defeated many times in the past; the basic idea is that if they were stopped before reaching a planet, the technology they were made up of is unremarkable enough that it could be easily destroyed. What you are seeing here is Mewtwo doing just that - having had a premonition of the Minions' conquering of Earth and cutting it off at the pass. He's seen here ready to destroy the last of their forces, saving the Earth from their control.

I would like to thank Vaporeon249 for taking on this project so that I may feel at peace with the existence of the original pair of art pieces, having spoken my mind through the form of these commissions. She's an outright STEAL as far as quality vs. price goes - go commission her now!
