Pit was sleeping when he heard an annoying beeping sound. The noise was obnoxious and unlike any alarm Pit had ever heard. The sound distracted Pit from the smell of smoke. Pit plugged in earplugs to block out the beeping. He couldn't get back to sleep so he listened to one of the boring mythology audiobooks that Palutena had given him. Normally the audiobook would bore him to sleep, but this time it felt important. The story talked about the phoenix and how it can start the most devastating fires with its everlasting magic flame. Meanwhile the smell of smoke grew bigger. Pit took in every detail as if it could save his life. In the back of Pit's mind he noticed as the smell of smoke filled his room and it was getting warm ,like a red hot oven, the room was on fire. "The smoke of the phoenix's enchanted flame has a calming effect to disguise the fire, and slow down adrenalin used when evacuating." Pit read from the book. That's when it slowly dawned on Pit that he was in great danger.
He unplugged his earplugs to hear "Do you hear me" Palutena cried.
"I'm alive, I'm ok. You can stop worrying."
"How dare you block me!" Palutena snapped!
Pit questioned "Doesn't telepathy go past earplugs?"
"Aren't angels always ready for duty?" Palutena countered. By now Pit had equipped the aquarius blade to put out the flames. There were no monsters, for few could ever get through the Sky world's force field. However if this fire could get through the enchantments of sky world then maybe something could pass the force field. Pit had so many questions. How did the fire get started? Why haven't the enchantments stopped the fire? How will I recover from this and what would have happened if I didn't choose that book,would I still be here?. He kept on asking these questions while Palutena explained what she little she knew. Palutena also told Pit that that Dark Pit was working with Poseidon to get sacred water to wash over Skyworld.
"Our firefighting force has no way to save everything. We can only save so much so we should only save what's valuable," Pit stated.
"Good idea Pit!" Palutena replied, "We should save the temple. Ready to head over there?
"For Skyworld!" Pit roared and flew out.
Palutena got Pit with the quickest flight path possible. That did not prevent Pit from seeing the traumatizing scenes he saw. He saw fighters fleeing with their belongings looking for the safe route out that didn't exist. The only way to escape the fire was a long fall of the floating island down to the surface world. Some would take the jump while their friends wouldn't. Some still fought the fire hopelessly. Three fighters of different beliefs were back to back united fighting back against the ring of fire surrounding them. Brave Centurions dived into the scorching fire to rescue those injured or left nowhere to run. Centurions ignored the searing and ultimately deadly inferno. Some unfortunate fighters were trapped under burning debris. The thing that bothered Pit the most was that there was nothing he could do to save any of them.
Pit arrived at the temple. The statue of Palutena had fallen down. Pit saw it as a grim sign of what's happening and what is to come. Pit looked at the area Palutena would be sitting. Pit was told, of course, that Palutena warped to the abandoned twin temple of the one phosphora used so Palutena could oversee the battle. Abandoned. The word struck Pit hard. Palutena broke Pits train of thought "The most sacred items that need saving are in the vault. I already made you as heat resistant as possible so we are going to go in and out of the temple as quickly as possible." Without warning Pit bursted into the temple, dodging embers at high speeds. Pit made it to the vault which opened and closed quickly thanks to Palutena. Actually, Pit realised it was thanks to Palutena he was here in the fire in the first place. Couldn't have Palutena warped here and grab everything? Pit continued putting out the fire. Was Palutena really overthrown by the fire as the easily as the statue. Shouldn't have her "all seeing eye" see the cause of the fire? Pit started blaming Palutena for this fire despite his wish to have faith.
Once Pit got into the temple's vault he used his aquarius blade to take out as much fire as he could. After Pit took out enough fire he started placing the sacred items stored here, into his mandatory bigger on the inside video game logic bag. Some items he knew like the Fiends Cauldron. Others not so much. All of the sudden Pit heard a loud explosion outside the vault. Pit rushed outside the vault to see what caused the noise. He discovered that nearly all the exits have caved in. A man stood in the way of the last remaining exit. The man was wearing a red light vs dark armour. He had a phoenix arm as well as a remote control of something The man said. "There's nothing you can do to stop the fire. My plan is guaranteed to succeed. Now give me that bag of sacred items before I click this trigger to blow up your last last way out."
"Who are you?" Pit demanded.
"My name is Wright. Who I am doesn't matter though since you're doomed any way. Now give me the bag."
"You're probably going to blow up the exit whether I give you the bag or not. So I just won't give you the bag. Because you need the bag you'll have to get me first. Which means you can't blow up the exit, because you wouldn't be able to get the bag then. In fact you would probably only blow up the exit if I did give it to you, just to get rid of me."
Then Wright said "You're right that if you were to give it to me I would have just blown up the exit anyway. Your mistake is assuming I actually need the bag. " Then Wright fled through the exit and immediately after a loud noise boomed and the exit filled in with burning debris. Pit was trapped.
