Pick a character, any character. You'd pick someone you like on the outside more than what's on the inside. Now say you don't do that, then you are lying to yourself. This world strives on beauty and perfection. You have your own taste in beauty though, it isn't one is better than the other. Art and beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Well we all say that.
Chapter 1: The Corrupted Child
"Damn this stupid ship…" A tall woman in a suit stands up walking from the dead pirates on the floor. All of them had been burnt through and died instantly.
The woman retreats to her own ship and leaves the broken ship to rot in space.
"Looters will take it that's for sure." She mumbles and drives far away from the ship. She contacts someone and told them the mission was complete.
With a sigh she takes off her helmet. Her blonde hair falls out to her back.
'I should've grabbed something, even if they didn't have anything good.' She thought to herself. Just then she saw a shooting star go by, smirking she tried hitting it. Her shot misses and the star curves towards her.
The star rushed by her ship almost like a blur. Even though no one could make it out, Samus knew who it was.
"Almost got you Kirby." She giggles and kept driving on.
Samus knew a lot of people like Kirby, well not like him, they were different people from different planets. Earth is a popular planet for most humans, but there was Popstar, Mushroom Kingdom, Bionis, and Hyrule. They were different lands where different races live in harmony.
Some love space though, she was one of them. Samus liked space more than her own planet. She always has missions in space so it was also more convenient for her to be out here. Kirby also loved space, as well as his Father, but he rarely leaves his own planet. Then the ruler of the observatory Rosalina lives in space too. She is the Mother of the stars, or Lumas. Last was the gang Star Fox. They were a missionary gang who works in space. Samus doesn't know if they love space, but they're always in space.
No matter where they lived though they had their own adventures and loved everything on their planet. In a way, they were no different from her. But sometimes, people are corrupted and do twisted things to mess with others and their lives.
On Popstar Kirby lands glaring at the sky. 'Was she trying to hurt me? Jeez she needs to get a hobby!'
"Kirby what are you staring at, you'll burn your eyes out." Kirby turns to see a masked man staring at him, this was Meta Knight. He was a proud warrior who was the pride of his army, but to Kirby, a father who raised him when he first came to Popstar.
"Oh, hi Father." Kirby sends his warp star back to Kabu. "Samus tried to shoot me...again." Meta Knight laughs.
"Did she hit you?"
"No."
"Well that's a shame."
"Father I could've gotten hurt!" Kirby yells, causing Meta Knight to laugh harder.
"Oh you would've been fine, quit overreacting!" The masked puff walks away. Kirby huffs and follows him.
"KIRBY!" Kirby turns to see his friend Marx, an undead arm-less prankster. He ran at Kirby with his giant beach ball he balances on.
"What is it?"
"I-IT'S AWFUL, JUST AWFUL!"
"Woah woah little buddy calm down, tell me what's gotten you so worked up?" Kirby got him off his beach ball, Marx takes a deep breath.
"The crown!"
"You mean the one that holds the Nova?" Marx nods. "What about it?"
"Someone took it!"
"What? That's impossible, only you can control its power." Kirby gave a look at Marx. "You're not trying to trick me again, if this is a trick I will seriously kick your ass." Marx shook his head.
"No this isn't a trick, someone stole the crown. What's worse I can't sense them anywhere!" That sent shivers down both of their spines.
"Can't you sense the Nova anywhere?"
"I think it's hiding itself." Marx sat in the grass with anger in his eyes. "It's making me so pissed off that I can't find it at all."
"How can it hide from you?"
"Apparently the Nova can hide itself." He hops back on his ball and leaves.
"That slippery little bastard better not be lying." Kirby hissed. He runs to Meta Knight to see what they should do.
"What?" A woman with long green hair asks with concern.
"It's true." A shorter girl with a blonde ponytail said. "The corrupted child escaped."
"Viridi, how could this have happened? Weren't you keeping an eye on him?"
"Excuse me Palutena, but humans are your responsibility. I thought I could kill him, but you stepped in and I forgot." Viridi said with sass in her voice. Palutena looks behind Viridi to see Dark Pit who was keeping a close eye on his goddess. Knowing she couldn't say anything she gave a loud sigh.
"What do you suggest we do?" The goddess asks.
"Well…" Before Viridi finished Pit flies in.
"Hey Lady Palutena! You'll never guess what Magnus and I fo-" He stops noticing Viridi. "Hey Viridi, what're you doing here?"
"The corrupted child escaped." Dark Pit said.
"Oh, Pittoo's here too?" Pit asked. "Wait, what's the corrupted child?"
"A child who destroyed nature years ago." Viridi said. "If I'm correct it has been almost six years."
"Wow… wait how did that happen six years ago? I mean I was around then and I have never heard of this guy."
"I took care of the child before he became an issue." Viridi said with a cocky tone in her voice. Pit looks at her for a moment then brought up.
"Weren't you suppose to watch over him then?"
"That is Palutena's job! She cares about humans so humans should be her deal." Viridi stated causing Pit to strike back.
"It's YOUR job, don't blame Lady Palutena for something you did!" He stepped closer to be stopped by his doppelganger. "Pittoo?"
"I suggest you get back." Dark Pit said without changing the tone in his voice. Pit glares at them and walks to Palutena's side.
"And who cares whose fault it is." Viridi said. "We need to find him and trap him, or kill him and do that as fast as we can."
"How do we do that?" Palutena asks the little goddess.
"I will send Dark Pit to search. I think having Pit around will help with our search."
"I'll go down and look as well." Palutena got out her shield and staff.
"Is that a good idea?" Pit asks his goddess.
"Trust me Pit, I can handle a child. I mean I took decent care of you for years." She giggles.
"That's…. not funny." Pit walks with her. Dark Pit follows them.
"Can you activate the power of flight Viridi?" He asks.
"I'll start it up." Viridi says.
"I'll start it to Pit. You still have four minutes or so." Palutena lights up Pits wings. Both angels flew out of Skyworld. Palutena teleports herself out of skyworld.
"Happiness is the key to one's life and sanity, right?" A dark figure snickers. "Why are they not like me?" He asks looking up.
"Because, like you said, they are not like you." A woman's voice ran through his head. "You are unique unlike them. You can harness unlimited power."
"I'm frightened." The figure says. "They know of my escape." He points at the screen. It shows the angels and goddess on the search.
Don't worry beautiful." The voice giggles. "They won't be able to touch you… with my power."
"Not everyone knows about us though." He shows a white haired man working with a blue haired girl. Then a boy with a yo yo. Then a hero riding a horse, and a boat. A young man resting in a field, and a frog creature on a rock. And many more people from everywhere.
The figure stands, it was about five foot one and wore a robe. It walks towards a large screen and touches it.
"Let the games begin."
