Melody Galaxy
Disclaimer: I do not own Super Smash Brothers. That goes to Nintendo. The only characters I own are those from the Golden Land, angels from Skyworld including the royal bodyguards, Angel Assembly and archangels along with all the other angels and of course the witch hunters. I also own Daedalus, Diamond, Pearl and Flauros.
Summary: The Guardian of Music is going to be performing on Melody Galaxy on a bright planet taking requests to reach out to separated lovers. Raven decides to use this to her advantage and make Melody Galaxy the battle ground that will eliminate a member of the Band of Six from existence not really caring how many people will be hurt in the process. The Smashers go there on a vacation trip along with a lot of begging from the Villager children. Upon entry, they are introduced to a fairy boy named Kite who forces a virginity test on everyone and prevents anyone who failed the test from entering. Pit who originally was up to the idea of asking Kaleido if she could use her music to reach out to his "deceased" father Daedalus, is far from please being rejected. Pit only forces himself in when he sees Daedalus enter the festival grounds without supervision. Daedalus is drawn to Melody Galaxy to reunite with Pandora once and for all, but his old time acquaintance Flauros intends to expose the tragedy that Daedalus might have directly or indirectly caused in front of Pandora and he'll murder anyone to achieve his goal. It's a shame that the Smashers ended up being dragged into this love tragedy that Pit actually foreshadowed before getting to Melody Galaxy…

Compared to the other Super Smash Galaxy stories, Melody Galaxy will have five chapters due to how this is the conclusion of Pandora's arc of searching for Daedalus and vise versa. Just because this is the reunion story doesn't mean that Daedalus' arc is finished (his arc is done by Mecha Galaxy and we see it post Mecha Galaxy). Enjoy!
Chapter 1: Denial
At the center of the universe was the Golden Land. The Golden Land created the universe, so of course it was sealed off from everyone. There were only a few doors that could get you in. Once you were in the Golden Land, you were treated to a beautiful sky with golden butterflies fluttering above with other unusual golden animals that were often a hybrid of multiple existing animals. The garden consisted of the most beautiful flowers known to man, but while the scenery was beautiful, the area itself was rather devoid of life. The only people who seemed to have lived in the Golden Land resided in the Golden Palace (which wasn't gold by the way). In the Golden Palace, there was a huge throne in the center of the palace where the creator of the universe sat and watched over everyone. His name was Prism and he was dubbed the Sorcerer of Misfortune…a sorcerer capable of switching the karma of a person. Despite the title, the misfortunate become the fortunate, but only if Prism likes you.
Besides the main throne, there were other smaller thrones that were to the left and right of the center one. Each consisted of one of Prism's friends who assisted him with his or her own powers. Most of the time, the thrones were empty and replaced with a stuffed animal showing that they will be out for a bit and to come search for them later. If Prism wasn't around, someone was bound to sit in his throne instead to give orders to visitors. Depending on how good they were at hiding it depended on how much they could get away with should Prism ever find out.
Raven was the right hand woman of Prism. She was known as the Witch of Despair with the power to turn back the clock, stop or speed up time or jump dimensions. Her other title, the Time Witch, was more fitting than the one she had now. However, Raven has lived through so many timelines that has always ended in the death of Prism, the end of the universe and the victory of the Great Evil. To prevent that, she has gone back constantly hoping to change things even slightly just to have the main players in the final battle have a better chance. There was only one timeline where the Great Evil was defeated for good, but that was at the cost of Prism's life. Not wanting her most precious friend to have his life thrown away for the sake of the universe who hated him, she turned everything backwards knowing full well that there might not be a miracle again. The timeline afterward showed that while the Great Evil can be defeated in that moment, his death was only temporary meaning that it wouldn't be long until he came back stronger and slaughtered everyone in his path.
Raven finally decided that a good way to make the odds in her favor is to get rid of any distraction for Prism. Prism had a short attention span, but in multiple timelines, his attention was focused on the Band of Six. The Band of Six were witch hunters under Acedia who slaughtered innocent sorcerers and witches without a care in the world. Acedia overall was the biggest threat because one timeline resulted in Prism acting out of character due to Cone's disappearance. By the time he reunited with his kid sister, it was too late. Raven never considered them a problem as long as Cone was safe, but as of late they have been moving around due to Diamond indirectly influencing their actions for his own selfish goals. Now, Raven needed to get rid of them one by one by killing them off in the current timeline and then rewinding their clock to where timelines after that will result in them being killed off sooner than later. It will get to the point where the Band of Six will no longer be called that.
In the back of her mind, the raven haired teen felt like she messed up when she recruited Alm instead of killing her on the spot. Alm gave her more trouble than what she was worth…but a part of her took pity on how she had no one to turn to seeing as Acedia abused her. The Viking girl was given the name Trance Witch for her powers of hypnosis and puppetry. She caused problems for the Queen of the Cosmos simply because Rosalina let her guard down. Heck, Alm could have ruined that timeline if Pit died too early. That timeline still ended in everyone dying, but Raven got that Pit and Dark Pit were officially separated. This was a huge thing that she wanted to thank Alm for but was too prideful to say, so she was kept around to jump with Raven and her partner X (who still hid behind the hood) when the timeline ended. Alm would be of use in the future hopefully, but for now…
"I am one of the banished Apostles. I am the Witch of the Fairy Sky known as Kite. What do you need?"
Raven had everything planned out from the previous timeline. This timeline, she would spring her plan and kill the Band of Six member Flauros. Alm was first on the list because she was easily disposable by her own father. Flauros was next due to his unpredictable nature, his violent tendencies and his connection with Daedalus. The Witch of Despair was going to enlist him and Rosalina to assist her with this mission, but she realized they would be useless and would do this herself.
Rosalina, two timelines back showed how fragile she was to someone as pathetic as Alm, and Raven could not rely on her if she could not get her act together. The same applied to Daedalus who wasted the previous timeline as a woman and met Pandora again. His mission will be completed in this timeline given how much he wanted to see the Amazon again, so there would be no point in requesting for help. Her plan though required her to sacrifice an Apostle who had a hard time dying in general to get Flauros to come out into the open. There were twelve Apostles that all had the power to hold back the Great Evil from returning with full power. Should all of them be killed by the time the Great Evil came back, Raven was as good as dead seeing as how the Great Evil lacked the ability to go back in time with her.
"I am willing to vouch for your return to the Golden Land if you assist me with my plan." Raven began trying her best to remain monotone as possible. "I need your help in luring out The Band of Six member Flauros."
"Oh, so you guys are finally doing something about that madman." Kite commented sarcastically. "What do you have in mind?"
"Your friend Kaleido is holding a concert in Melody Galaxy correct?"
"…Yes…"
"The man that Flauros is trying to kill…Daedalus…he will be there. She will be caught in the crossfire."
"So you want me to send a signal to get that fallen archangel and put my friend in danger…"
"Well, you're strong enough. You're a survivor. 2000 years and you're still in one piece unlike your friends."
Kite glared at the raven haired teen for bringing up how there weren't many Apostles left. Clenching his fist, Kite grumbled to himself how he desired protection more than anything. Being responsible for Flauros' death will please him greatly.
"If it means protecting Kaleido from the bastard…regardless if that stupid cowardly man shows up or not…then of course I'll accept your offer. Anything I need to do for preparations?"
"Of course." Raven said with a rather sinister smile. "Here is what you will do…"
In the galaxy, the Comet Observatory can be seen setting a course to the musical realm known as Melody Galaxy. Melody Galaxy from the description given by Rosalina was the place where those with musical talent go to perform in front of a large audience. Normally, the Smashers wouldn't be allowed to go but with the constant nagging of the Villager children and a few others, Master Hand had allowed all the Smashers, assist trophies and the other people staying at the mansion to go on vacation. Pit wanted so badly to go to Hot Spring Galaxy instead after many battles in the Smash Brothers Realm. In the back of his mind though, Melody Galaxy would work better simply because there was something he wanted to confirm.
Rosalina's trusted Luma known as Polari was giving the Smashers a heads up of what to expect at Melody Galaxy. Beside the large concert, there would be a huge carnival for everyone to have fun before the performance began. The main person that would be performing would be the Guardian of Music who called herself Kaleido. The Guardian of Music had a huge cult fanbase throughout the universe and to see her in person was a dream come true. Besides the Villager's (specifically Pink) who were huge fans that would kill to see her in person, Dark Pit ended up being a huge fan of her. Dark Pit enjoyed her upbeat, hip music that would be labeled "J-Pop" or "hipster crap" in the human world. Pit resented the type of music she sung, and the acrobatic performances she did while singing was nauseating. Yet the normally brooding dark angel would go into a childish glee watching some of her performances. He was probably the most excited to go to Melody Galaxy.
"You're going to be babysitting my twin." Pit told Lucina with a sigh. "I am not sitting through that god awful music."
"You really don't like it…" Lucina would murmur before looking over to the black angel who would not stop talking to Lucas about all the musical numbers Kaleido has done. Lucas was barely listening but he acted like he did just because his friend was so happy about being able to go. "He is acting like a little kid…"
"Watch Luci, he's going to request Kaleido to sing Simple and Clean and then we're going to have to hear everyone sing that song horribly."
The female lord chuckled at the thought…but it would probably hurt her ears in the end, so it was best to avoid that situation at all cost.
"Speaking of singing…" Pit could hear Peach's voice in the background. She was waving him over in the background. The brunette groaned as he slowly went over to her. "Yes Princess Peach?"
"Palutena said you're good at singing. Can you sing us a song to get us all pumped for the concert?" She asked politely.
The Villagers looked toward Pit in anticipation. Immediately the angel captain started to sweat realizing that all eyes on him.
"I don't know…I'm not that good…Lady Palutena?"
"Oh come on Pit. You're not all that bad. Besides fighting and being my servant, you're a great singer." Palutena commented earning a chuckle from Ganondorf next to her.
"Oh gee thanks…" Pit grumbled. "You do realize that you want me to make up a song on the spot."
"You do that best Pit. You can sing whatever you want."
Pit gave his Goddess a look as if she was giving him birthday present. He couldn't help but grin as he immediately thought of something to sing. Rosalina made Pit a little lighter so he could easily jump on top of the bookcase where Smashers who wanted to hear Pit sing or pass the time until they got to the vacation spot were. Taking a deep breath, Pit visualized a scenario in his mind before changing his overall attitude as words started to flow out of his mouth with ease.
"Come, come around, it's time for a tale. A story of love and betrayal.
We all start with once upon a time…
Because we think of fairytale endings.
But this tale only has a single crime.
A crime that could have been prevented…
It all started with the creation of the universe…
Our first fathers and mother…
Gave birth to many wonderful children…
The first child was the answer…
To all the problems the world had.
The Endless Sorcerer…
Recruited eleven different species from the universe.
Together they formed the twelve Apostles.
That ended up being a blessing and a curse.
The Endless Sorcerer was killed.
Betrayed by one of his own.
The Sorcerer of Misfortune…
Who did nothing but moan and groan…
Threw the rest of the Apostles out of the safe haven…
Thinking they needed to atone…
For the crime of leaving the savior to die alone.
So very alone…
One Apostle wanted to continue the savior's legacy.
She was dubbed the Shadow Witch…
The disgusting one she was on the surface …
Was incredibly rich…
Rich in the heart that attracted all.
And became a savior witch…
Aww, but sanctuary was not meant to be…
A demon of Ars Goetia…
Commanding sixty-four regions…
He was a prince with so much potential…
He would soon be one of the many villains…
That the universe would hate…
He was given a simple task.
"Assassinate the savior."
Doing so might have…
Prevented disaster.
That was never on his mind.
He wanted her.
He was beauty.
She was the beast.
The love that was meant to bloom…
Would unfortunately be policed…
The Apostle was captured.
The demon was stabbed in the back.
The mob didn't care.
The leader was a pyromaniac…
Who wanted to watch her burn…
First it was a smack.
Then it was humiliation.
She cracked…
When tied to the cross.
The prince tried to attack…
But was contained…
The Shadow Witch begged for mercy.
But the mob refused to deliver.
Throwing salt her way.
They released their anger…
And burned her to the ground...
The prince never forgave them.
He turned to the dark side.
Going on a rampage…
People died.
People screamed.
People cried.
But he showed them no mercy…
His beloved was taken from him.
He would live the life as a criminal.
For revenge against those who did him injustice…
He would do battle…
Everyday until the time came to obtain true justice.
And with that they live happily ever after."
There was absolute silence once Pit finished singing his song. Everyone was expecting something lovely and while it was a nice song…the song was…incredibly dark, depressing and overall gave a feeling of hopelessness of something they didn't understand. It did not stop the Villagers from clapping and cheering for Pit like the creepy children they were.
"Pit…why did you sing such a sad song?" Peach asked while using a handkerchief to wipe the tears flowing from her eyes.
"You asked for one. It was something that has been in the back of my mind for a while." Pit said simply. "Don't think too much about the story."
"But…"
Pit looked over and Dark Pit and shook his head in annoyance. "Oh come on Pittoo. Did you really think I would do a comedy?"
"It's always tragedies or sad endings with you…" Dark Pit murmured being in the same boat as Peach on his feelings of the song. "It wouldn't hurt to have something happy…"
Pit rolled his eyes seeing as he wasn't going to get Dark Pit to like his song. "Well, that's why when we get to Melody Galaxy, you can listen to all the happy music you want."
The light angel sure knew how to make the mood more brooding especially as the Comet Observatory was near Melody Galaxy. From a distance, it was a huge world with flashing lights that came from the main stage along with the carnival that lit up and shined in the universe's darkness. There was a large dome like gate that prevented easy access to the galaxy, but that didn't stop the main attraction from being visible through space. It was going to be a thrilling ride…but not in the way the Smashers wanted it to be.
Rosalina had no problem landing the Comet Observatory right in front of the gates that would allow the Smashers into the carnival of Melody Galaxy where the magical realm awaited. The Villagers wanted in immediately and jumped out despite Rosalina's warning. She could only sigh when they were forced to stop at the entrance.
There was a huge gate that wouldn't open no matter what the Smashers did, and that was because there was a fairy standing guard. This wasn't your stereotypical fairy that you would see in a place like Hyrule. This was a feminine looking fairy with silver hair in curls and gold eyes that gave the piercing effect despite the "innocent appearance" that the fairy gave. Yes, fairies were associated with nature but the dress that this fairy went over the top with the design. Huge green leaves made up most of the dress that covered most of the fairy's skin but had poison ivy wrapped around said green dress. To hold the dress together at the bottom, daffodils were used as pins in all the locations where the tip of the leaf was stuck to another. The almost clear wings behind the fairies' back did not interfere with the design of the dress.
"Cute girl…" Rob could be heard whispering in Pit's ear range who just laughed at the white haired tactician.
"That's a guy."
"I see…wait…what?!"
"You need glasses, Rob." Pit joked as he allowed Palutena to go first to speak to the feminine looking fairy.
The fairy smirked as he saluted Palutena, Rosalina and Viridi in an awkward fashion. He would have greeted them but the minute he saw Link get out, he immediately forgot his duties and fluttered over to him.
"Hello, handsome! Do you have pheromones on you because you smell sweet!"
Link tried to pull back but the fairy was on him like a bee was to honey. Zelda was not amused.
"Excuse me…sir…you have your hands on him."
"Yes, I do. Got a problem with that?"
Ganondorf wanted a catfight so bad, but Rosalina needed to remind the fairy why they were there.
"Kite, it is nice seeing you again, but I think you need to know when to keep your hands to yourself. Link is…not one who likes public display of affection.
Kite stuck out his tongue at Zelda before releasing Link who shivered after being let go. Pit groaned about how Link got all the girls and pretty guys.
"Pit, you shouldn't be having those thoughts." Lucina reminded the light angel.
"Well, sorry if I want to screw a fairy at least once, but if Link keeps taking all the cute ones…"
"I don't think I would want someone as small as you anyway." Kite butted in causing the angel captain to turn very red from the insult. "But I guess I should say hi and introduce myself." Kite floated backwards toward the gate as he began introducing himself. "My name is Kite and I am known as the Apostle of the Fairy Sky. I'm in charge of making sure things run smoothly for my darling friend Kaleido, and that includes monitoring who can come into the concert and who cannot this time around."
"Why?" Rosalina asked wondering if this was a normal thing in other timelines given she had never bother to engage in dialogue with Kite as much as she made it out to be.
"It's just extra precautions. We have a lot of guest singers, dancers and musicians this time around, so we want them to feel safe. It's why I'm doing my own version of the angel virginity test just for today."
Pit immediately paled hearing those two words put together.
"Are you kidding me?"
"No I am not, Captain Pit. I am not. This is actually very good to root out people that would be considered problematic."
"No…it won't…"
Kite ignored Pit's complaints and began explaining to the Smashers how the virginity test worked. It would scan the Smashers when they attempted to walk through the small gate in front of them. If the purity aura around them was gone, then they would be deemed unfit to enter the carnival. Otherwise they were free to go. Pit protested constantly throughout the entire thing making him a target of not being able to pass the test.
Sonic heard the test and immediately shook his head. As soon as Kite started scanning the Smashers and opened the gate while doing so, the blue blur zoomed into the carnival without looking back.
"HEY! I DIDN'T GET TO CHECK YOU!"
"He's gone…" Fox muttered with a sigh. "Of course."
Falco looked over to his friend and noticed his cheeks were slightly red. For the better or worse, he decided not to say anything about Sonic.
"Alright people. Here we go. I'm going to make this quick so you all can go and enjoy yourselves in there." Kite told them as he used his fairy magic to do the large scan of the group.
Pit would complain from the beginning to the end about it especially since he immediately failed the test when the magic hit him in contrast to Dark Pit. Palutena shook her head in disappointment at Pit's inability to hide the fact he wasn't a virgin from the Apostle of the Fairy Sky. Fortunately for the white angel, it wasn't just Pit who failed the test as some of the Smashers who failed were the ones who you least expected.
"Huh? Why did Peach fail?" Luigi asked not realizing how dumb the question was.
"The same reason why Samus and Robin failed." Zelda responded with a sigh. She should have expected Peach and Samus had did the deed already leaving her as the only one who hasn't scored with her romantic love interest, but this was embarrassing to say the least.
"HEY! I'M PREGNANT!" Robin shouted at Kite who immediately covered his ears. "HOW COME I CAN'T GET IN BUT HENRY CAN?!"
"Umm…that's the rules…"
"RULES YOU MADE UP ON THE SPOT! I CALL BULLSHIT! HENRY!"
Henry found this hysterical and just laughed instead of standing up for his wife. Morgan was slightly concerned, but given how his existence was based on his parents having sex there wasn't much he could say. Rob though…
"HA HA! I PASSED AND YOU DIDN'T!" Rob shouted as he pointed and laughed at his sister in the Nelson like pose.
"SHUT UP! I GOT S SUPPORT AND YOU DIDN'T!" Robin screeched back like a harpy.
"But Henry can still go in, so you must have fucked up somewhere."
Shulk should have been the one to tell Rob to stop but he noticed that Dunban didn't pass the test either and was staying quiet about it. The blond wanted to reach out to the older Homs but he seemed preoccupied by something. Magnus was next to him and just chuckled nervously. The assist trophy Saki was patting Dunban on the back only because he failed too for some strange reason.
"YOU SEE! I TOLD YOU IT WAS RIGGED!" Pit screamed. "THIS TEST IS HOMOPHOBIC AND SEXIST! THIS IS WHY THE ANGEL VIRGINITY TEST IS STUPID!"
"Woah, take a chill pill Captain Pit." Kite said with a laugh. "I'm just using the exact magic they used. While I feel like pregnancy should not be a factor in this, I can't let her in. It's a risk to Kaleido."
"Yes…because a fat tactician is totally a threat to a pop idol…" Robin snarled. "Chrom, won't you say anything?"
"Uh…no?" Chrom responded unsure of how to respond to his friend.
"Useless."
"…Sorry?"
Henry continued to laugh as he was prepared to leave his wife behind and go inside the carnival.
"Hey, don't think about how we had a good time and I knocked you up, Robin. I'll just bring you a souvenir for you when Morgan and I are done playing."
"You are not helping Henry…you are literally the worst husband ever…besides Chrom."
"Wait, why am I involved in this conversation?!" The blue haired king asked out loud.
Kite had to interrupt everyone's conversation about how he handled the virginity test quickly before it was obvious that maybe the test was rigged intentionally. In Kite's mind, he felt like Pit at least needed to stay out. If his father was going to make things go to hell, the least he could do is keep his son out who always brought trouble. The Goddess of Light and the dark angel passed the test by the logic of the virginity test. There were loopholes in getting around it but…
"Captain Pit…you got caught. That's all there is to it."
"WHAT?!"
Dark Pit snickered seeing Pit's face become a tomato. He would get Lucina all to himself now especially when the concert started. Lucina suddenly felt sick to her stomach seeing how the Smashers started heading into the carnival after apologizing to those who didn't pass the test. They would have to wait outside, but at the very least they could hear the music. Kite gave a hint they could easily watch the concert from a high place outside of the carnival but it didn't leave a good taste in some Smasher's mouths. Mario wanted to be with Peach and despite Henry's teasing, he wanted to enjoy his time with his wife as well as his son. The feelings of sadness were washed away when people like Rob were walking into the carnival laughing at his sister's misfortune.
"Sorry Pit." Palutena apologized as she left her captain alone. His cries that the test was rigged fell on deaf ears resulting in the brunette letting out a string of curse words in Greek when Kite disappeared to lead the Smashers who didn't go ahead of him in. The gates closed leaving the failures of the test behind.
It's like everyone forgot about the sorrow that the Smashers left outside of the gates were feeling once they stepped onto the carnival grounds. Shulk had never seen such a colorful place. Bionis may have had some high tech cities and he might have seen some of this weird equipment around Smashopolis, but never in a way like this. Despite the rules that were enforced by Kite, there were still many children in the carnival setting as well as many young couples and families. The children were happily screaming on the roller coaster while couples took it slow on the merry go round. Some of the single people there were at the stands trying to win prizes while others were in line for some desserts. Shulk saw that one stand with a huge sign with the big letters "SEA SALT ICE CREAM" on it.
The Smashers were so quick to scramble with all of them intending to meet back up during the concert when the music performance started. Dark Pit wasted no time trying to drag Lucina to get sea salt ice cream to her dismay seeing as how she wanted to spend time with her father instead.
"Buy me it first since Pit can't." Dark Pit whined as he single handedly dragged the taller Smasher toward the stand despite keeping her feet in place.
"So this is what Pit meant about babysitting…how delightful…" The female lord snarked as she gave into his demands.
Rob found it humorous how the mentality of a lot of Smashers went down without Master Hand watching over them in some shape or form. Maybe it was because the only other Smasher who could have done that was being dragged along as well. Rosalina probably would have searched for a quiet place until the concert began but Palutena would have none of that. She would drag both Rosalina and Ganondorf with her throughout the carnival while leaving her precious angel captain outside to sulk and Dark Pit to Lucina unattended. Ganondorf could be heard grumbling that he was too old for events like this and suddenly liked the suggestion of Hot Spring Galaxy.
The problem was that Shulk regressed back to a childlike state when he was staring at the rides in awe not helped by what he said next.
"Rob, we're going on all of the rides here."
Rob only realized then that he was going to be sick when this was all said and done. Perhaps having Robin and Dunban around would have made things better for his health after all.
Pit looked like a stalker with how he was he was leaning on the gates looking through the small holes to see what was going inside Melody Galaxy. He would complain about he was missing all the sweets that were inside or the fact that Dark Pit was alone with Lucina, but the reality was he was pissed at how he was rejected from the place due to something that occurred in the past. He criticized the system of how fairies did the virginity test, but Palutena didn't care as she had her ways around the system. Now Pit would be alone with people he wasn't that close with…away from his family and those he loved. He hated being alone…and no one seemed to care that the light angel was getting desperate for attention that he would break the gate to go in and see the others.
"Uhh…I need food…"
"Is that all you can think about?" Dunban asked with irritation in his voice.
"What else is there to think of? That law is absolute bullshit. The discrimination is real…like it was meant to keep me out."
"Yeah…keep telling yourself that."
"Then why are you out here you stupid ali…Homs? You seem like the last person who would take it up the ass."
Dunban flinched before covering his face immediately trying to hide his blush.
"…Okay…maybe you got a point and the system is rigged…but I would never…"
"Yeah, whatever. I get it. You like it rough with men. That's how all slutty aliens are like."
"Anyways!" Dunban shouted before letting out a small cough. "Why exactly is it discriminatory besides examining…that…"
"Isn't it obvious? The system tries to punish based on losing your purity on your own free will. Only the pure can go in apparently…but as you know, straight men are immune to this system as well as lesbian women. They by proxy can be impure and still make it in. Also…" Pit stared at the ground before kicking a small pebble that was next to his foot. "It hurts actual rape victims if you think about it. They did not get to choose to lose their purity…and yet this system discriminates against them…it's…sad…"
Everyone that was left outside could feel the sorrow in Pit's voice. He sounded like a defeated soldier on the battlefield. His eyes started to lose their color the longer he stayed silent. It was almost like…
The group froze hearing someone come their way. If they stayed out in the open, they might get in trouble for spying on what was going on inside the carnival and all dove toward either the bush or hid behind the tree so they wouldn't be noticed. Dunban had to grab Pit by the arm to hide behind the only rock that was outside the carnival.
A fallen archangel approached the door that the group couldn't go through. There was no one watching the door, so it was easy for this fallen archangel to take out his claw and slice the system.
"I have no time for this…" The voice murmured darkly.
Pit gasped recognizing the voice immediately. The fallen archangel turned toward the direction the Smashers were hiding. The Smashers could see that the fallen archangel appeared to be an older version of Pit except he had yellow yarn as his earpiece.
Dad?!
Seeing there was no one there, the man looked forward and sliced at the door with his claws. The security portion was rather lame in comparison to the virginity test. The chocolate haired brunette shook his head nitpicking at how this galaxy was pathetic for even attempting to install a flawed system like this. He quickly charged in unaware that Pit jumped out from behind the rock surprised that after all of these years…his father was still alive.
"That can't be…" Pit mumbled in disbelief. "I killed you. How are you still alive?"
"Pit?" Robin called out in worry witnessing Pit immediately charge in without a care of breaking the law of this galaxy. "Wait! Dammit! I can't run in this condition!"
"We should follow him." Dunban told the ladies and Saki. "I don't think we want to be out here. We should be enjoying our vacation with our loved ones after all."
"My brother is going to make fun of me for not following directions…" The female tactician whispered as she allowed Dunban to take her by the hand and go inside. Peach and Saki would follow in shortly after. Samus was the last one to go with the group due to looking behind her wondering if someone was spying on them. Besides the Comet Observatory in the distance, there didn't seem to be anyone else hiding.
"Hopefully it's nothing…" Samus reassured herself as she went in but not before taking out her gun and shooting the system that the fallen archangel clawed. She wanted to make sure it was really destroyed.
Samus was right though. Someone was watching them every move. Actually, this person was only looking at the fallen archangel…waiting for the right moment to pounce. This person snickered as flames appeared below the ground and he emerged from the depths of hell.
"Oh, Daedalus…you are making this so easy for me."
Me: TBC with 6651 words.
Li: I notice the theme for the chapter titles already.
Me: Yeah, they're all going to be based on the themes of grief. The character it applies to be a double meaning like with Clockwork Galaxy that referred to Rosalina and Alm. This will refer to Daedalus, Pandora, Pit and specifically Flauros. Notes!
1. Reading Clockwork Galaxy is needed more than Dune Galaxy to understand why Raven is not informing Rosalina and Daedalus of her plan. Rosalina is for what happened in Clockwork while Daedalus is for Dune Galaxy, but its not needed given how Daedalus' main goal from the beginning was always about searching for Pandora so if he's not up to the task, she'll simply leave him out of the mission.
2. The song Pit sings is identical to the Vocaloid song Witch Hunt. Its pretty much Ellipse's backstory told through a song (and yes I wrote the song, so no stealing). Pit leaves some parts out intentionally due to being in denial of witnessing the event. In general, I have the headcanon of Pit preferring tragedies to comedies. Pittoo is the one who prefers comedies because of being a youthful replica that would rather learn the joys of the universe instead of thriving on tragedy like what Greek mythology is known for.
Pit also is a very good storyteller that he tends to do via songs like Clopin from The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Remember in Greek mythology, many competitions come from singing hymns about events that have occurred in the past. In Ovid's Metamorphosis, there is a scene where Athena/Minerva goes to the Muses asking about the competition that had recently occurred and Calliope sang a song that attempted to portray the Gods in a positive light (but this interpretation of Hades/Persephone is shit because we all know they are the chastity couple of Greek mythology and Hades would never rape Persephone against his will) when the Pierides screeched horrible things about the Greek/Roman Gods.
3. The virginity test is identical to the one in Glove Slap except fairies do not use a Virgo Palm. Fairies honestly have magic that can test this and they have this magic to see whom they should visit and who to ignore. Fairies like Link simply because he's virgin in this universe as a result. The flaw of this magic is it discriminates against rape victims and is a specific magic spell that would only effect women and gay men.
4. Sea salt ice cream is an obvious reference to Kingdom Hearts series. Expect a lot of references seeing as how Kaleido is willing to sing Simple and Clean during her concert apparently.
That's it. Reviews are appreciated. Ja ne!
