AN: This is the start of the story, a little something to whet your whistle. Any Kingdom Hearts fan will recognize the basis of this piece. There are a few subtle variations taking into stride what Pit has accomplished already. Enjoy!

Prologue

Pit was flying above the waters, conversing with Poseidon when his flight seemed to just go out. However, he fell backwards, into the waters, but... not water. Soon as he was submerged, he felt as if he could still breathe, and his fall was being guided. The force was stronger than that of Lady Palutena's abilities. As he neared bottom, he felt himself flipped about. He landed on his feet, on some dark abyss it seemed. That is until he took a step forwards, when the darkness seemed to just peel away into birds somehow flying off, revealing a light. Pit had to cover his eyes when it happened. Once the light was revealed... a music begun to play, the music of seemingly a choir, but none were to be found. The light beneath his feet revealed a mural, and he was the prominent figure! Though he looked different, the bigger wings was a tip off.

So much to do, so little time.

Take your time.

Don't be afraid.

The door is still shut.

These words come from seemingly nowhere. Causing Pit to look about.

Now step forward

Can you do it?

Of course he could! With that, he took a few steps forward. Standing center of the light. Immediately several pedestals sprang from the ground, 10 in all.

Some of your power still sleeps within you.

However, the remains are soon to awaken...

for now, use the power in the form you know...

and it will give you strength.

On 9 of the 10 were basic weapons of the ones he knew. The final one contained an ethereal outline of some sort of odd club type weapon, only smaller, and in the shape of a key. He tried to go to the pedestal, but some unseen force kept him from getting atop it.

Before you lays the key to your remaining power, it has not yet awakened.

But it will...

Only when you need it the most.

Seeing as the key was not accessible, he went with the orbital weapons. Afterwards, the pedestals descended into the ground. A chest appeared nearby, along with the weapon he chose, hovering near him.

You now have the power to fight

It was sort of a no brainer about how he could with the weapon, but it was comforting to hear it. Pit proceeded towards the chest, it was almost a compulsion to open chests. Though, he couldn't open this particular one. The red chest had a lock on the front of it.

Some chests will not yield without the key. Some others though...

Another chest appeared, this one appearing to not have a lock. Which he opened, only to find a literal key.

Can

He took the key to the other chest and opened it, inside was a vial with a green fluid.

This item is one of a handful used by mortals and the supernatural alike to heal.

He placed it in his small satchel, one he had been carrying around with him ever since the time he defeated Hades. Another flash, this time he found himself at the main palace in Skyworld.

The day you open the door is both far off and very near.

There were 3 individuals there: Magnus, Palutena, and Dark Pit. He approached Magnus, intending to talk to the guy. "What are you so afraid of" Magnus asked. "The darkness winning the fight." Pit answered without hesitation. Magnus fell silent and unresponsive. He turned to Dark Pit. "What's most important to you?" He asked. This made pit pause. He did want to say seeing the light be victorious, but there was something nagging him, something personal. "My friends." He ended up saying. This made Dark Pit also go unresponsive. Finally, Lady Palutena. "What do you want out of your immortal life?" This also made Pit pause. Again, light was his first thought, but that was not seeming right, as if it weren't the right answer. "... To be strong." Come out.

You fear the darkness

You value your friends

You wish to be strong

Your adventure has begun once before, but now, it begins anew.

Your adventure begins once more at dusk. Stay strong and you will see the light.

This made Pit look about. He realized this wasn't real, but this was different from his usual nightmare. He couldn't seem to make it alter, in spite his willing for it to change. Well... except for a giant flash that brought him back to his mural, but this time the light as if that of the surface seemed so close.

The closer you get to the light, the greater your shadow becomes.

As Pit stepped forwards, he sensed some evil behind him, causing him to swivel. In front of him looked like some sort of shadow of himself, sort of like what the chaos beast once summoned. Then it grew larger, until some sort of bizarre humanoid with small wings and a heart shaped hole in its chest. Pit recognized it almost instantly from past dreams, causing him to clench his fists.

But dont be afraid.

And don't forget...

Pit sprang into action, attacking the creature from range at the head with the orbitars. Though he almost got hit by the fist that slammed down. Suddenly, tinier versions sprang from this well of darkness, forcing him to change target, but only for a few seconds. Then he returned to the head, until a ball of darkness appeared. He knew it from his nightmare from before, seeing it shoot damaging darkness. Pit attempted to shoot the orb, and it actually shattered on impact. This caused the beast to shout out, then drop, giving Pit a chance to really fire on it. It was about to stand back up when a few more laser blasts from the attack caused it to shout again. Obviously Pit won, but now seemed like a hollow victory as the beast landed atop him and the shadows started to cover him.

-But don't be afraid

You hold the mightiest weapon of all.

So don't forget:

You are the one who will open the door

He tried to reach out to find a handhold, to free himself from this darkness, but there was nothing to grab, and he sank into a seemingly endless abyss of darkness.

...

Pit awoke, sweat dripping from his brow. 'This time was different' Ran through his mind as the young angel got out of bed. This had happened so often he had wondered if it really was a dream. Usually the dream was more a nightmare about some black... thing... swallowing Skyworld. This time was different... or at least more detailled. He even fought the thing. That made him cringe in remembering what happened right near the end, even making him shudder. He walked to the main antechamber of Skyworld... to find Palutena standing near a pool with a frown. "Lady Palutena?" Pit called.

AN: Pretty stock prologue, anyone whom has played Kingdom Hearts 1 will recognize this chapter as nothing new. Still, it gives a good feel for Pit's overall stance in the story. He will be able to fight, and rather well. Though what I have in store for Pit and others... welp... no surprises. Not sure when the next chapter will be up but I'll see what I can do.
