Chapter 1
Fights or Advice
"I told you to leave me alone!"
"Well I told you to leave Big Mama over there," Pandora turned her shoulders to take a glance at the gross monster chasing them. "Alone but guess what? YOU didn't listen!"
"I DIDN'T ASK YOU TO COME ALONG!" Dark Pit yelled, "Actually, I specifically said not to follow!"
Flashback!
Pittoo was just about to leave, heading out the door with an empty bag over his shoulder. "Pandora. Don't follow me."
"Kay!" The Goddess waved him off, happy as can be.
End!
The goddess yelled, "And how would you get home? I gots the keyzz boy!"
"Shut up!" DP spat, "The damn portal DOESN'T need a key! You ruined everything I was close to stealing that guy's gold!"
"I was TRYING to help!"
"ISAIDIDON'TNEEDYOURHELP!"
Since Pandora got her powers back at the rewind spring she was able to fly and gave some ability to DP. She was pretty strong, after all she was a goddess. And for a really good reason, Pandora fights up close, hand to hand combat with her weapon. Unlike the other Goddess' who stand in the background commanding everything, this goddess was different. Of course Pandora casts tricks and spells but recently she went back to the classics. Before she became immortal and everything, engaging in fights by the Oh La Dee Fateful claws, blades, clubs and others. Killer's move. Pandora fought in battle grounds, fire skies, side by side humans against humans. Until she earned her title and became legend, her body dying but her spirit alive, thus forged into a goddess. DAT POWER GUURRL!
Okay, lets back up a bit. A while ago, Dark Pit wanted to be stupid and so he rejected Palutena's job offer AND he laughed when Viridi asked for his services, the kid wasn't joking when he says he works for no one. Then... that's when he realized that he had no where to go. After some independent ventures in a world he was still new in, Pffffft what a newbie, the angel came across the truth.. Finding out that he was nothing. Only an image, created by nothing more than a simple mirror. For a while he believed that the pain he suffered and the emotions he felt were all fake. DAAANG THATS DEEP DARK PIT! Oh ho ho ho, but up comes a goddess when everything seems to be a downfall. Theres always hope in darkness ya know. Wisdom boo yeah. Anyways that story shall be told another time.
Ever since then Viridi tried taking over the humans so Pit was back to work aided by the one and only Lady Palutena, Goddess of Light and Ruler of the Skies. Pandora surrendered by then and volunteered to help, her position is to control the mischief in evil territory. Easy but complicated, Palutena wanted to make sure nothing will be in the way when they're up against Viridi. So basically Pandora watches over monsters and makes sure they don't get out of hand.
The ClubberSkull was gaining on the two. The Goddess flew faster holding onto Pittoo's hands who was hanging below her. The dark mountains surrounding closed in, it was hard for Pandora to fly with Dark Pit especially in a narrow path.
"Watch out!" the dark angel yelled. If you didn't see the boulders up above falling then you can definitely hear it. It seemed like a great day for a rockslide! Pandora dove down and just barely made it out alive with the angel, oh and that clobberskull back there. Ya, hes not there anymore. Dark Pit looked up to see a laughing Goddess, "How are you laughing right now?! We almost died!"
She giggled, "almost!"
"Let go! I can fly by myself!"
Calamity ignored the angel and took the wind current back home. The place is a little different than the one you're familiar with in the game. After the war Pandora thought it was the perfect time to redo her beloved palace, so with the help of her new roomie they created a perfect home. Since the angel liked darker colors and the goddess wanted a royal look, it ended up looking something like Boo's Castle. Then of course, you have the portal in an evil forest leading to an alternate dimension... if anything one would say it's a death trap to a haunted mansion. With the mix of pranks and darkness, myths and stories broke out to the nearing villages, scaring any human. Within Pandora's new domain were false doors, crazy shaped ones or misplaced walking ones. There is no normal part in the mansion, moving carpets and rotating staircases... floating couches, crooked floors, moving walls, all in the house. Filled with wacked out mirrors, illusions and pranks. It turned out well, one of the favorites is the kitchen, devil of a goddess Pandora placed three refrigerators throughout the room. Two are false with tricks and one is real. And since it automatically changes each day, Dark Pit has to risk his life for a snack. He recognizes patterns within the house after a couple of weeks making it bearable to live in, but anyone else may not have such a fun time. There are also some perks in the mansion, for example the bathrooms. Makes toilet time and showering a survival game or an amazing illusion, try shooting targets while peeing or taking a bath in a paradise island. All in all Pandora's palace is the most fun, as Viridi's the most beautiful and Palutena's the most peaceful heaven.
The goddess let go of Dark Pit down by the link between dimensions. He moaned, pinching his upper part of his nose, "Pandora you forgot to close the portal again!"
"Oops."
"Anyone could just get inside!" Dragging Pandora in the portal, the angel closed if off. Entering, he was then faced to face with the person he hated most. Pit. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?" He yelled.
The hero waved his hand, "Hi Pitto-"
"Get out." Dark Pit grabbed his counterpart by the collar and opened the portal once again, attempting to throw him out. But before he could do so, Pandora closed it off again causing DP to just throw Pit cross the room. A loud yell was heard then a thud. Good job DP! "What did you do that for?" The dark angel asked his goddess.
"You said to remember to close of the portal." Pandora hovered above the ground and positioned herself as if she was sitting. "So I did."
He faced-palmed and walked over to the nearest wall, hit his head against it a couple of times and muttered that he was going to his room. Pandora thought to herself, what responsible thing should she do to help her little boy? "Oh! Who wants cookies?" she cheered. The forgotten Pit on the ground popped up and raised his hand with the biggest smile on his face. She watched the dark angle stop at the door for a moment and she rose with excitement. Who wouldn't like a sweet treat? . . . Well aparently not this guy, Dark Pit left the kitchen. Passed the great dining hall to the throne room, then to the stairs. One step and it quickly begins to move up like a fast escalator, acsending upwards DP mazed through to his room.
The portal location is where the front doors of a castle would be, in the throne room. High ceiling, grand columns, moving statues, a huge mirror wall reflecting the room and even a big red carpet leading to the two marvelous throne chairs. Even though the mansion is in a crazy dimension, there are still windows along the walls. The only thing is when you look out, you see messed up colors swirling and turning, sure to give you a headache if you gaze too long.
The goddess made the cookies anyway and offered some to her guest. "Thanks Pandora!" he picked up another cookie but it turned into a monster causing him to scream and freak out. She was too lost in thought to laugh though. Pit carefully picked up another one not knowing if it was another trick. "I was on my way to Viridi's but Palutena's power of flight was running out so the closest place next, was here." He said before chomping on the dessert but it was as hard as rock. Dropping it he reached for another one, observing it closely.
"Did you yell at her?"
"What?!" Pit choked on his cookie for it had spice in it, "Yell at Palutena?! Never, without her I couldn't even fly. She helps me and I should be grateful."
Thinking again, Pandora remembered what happened a while ago when she wanted to help her angel, he was super mad. Sighing Calamity hovered again, "I kinda wished Dark Pit was like you..."
"Hmm..." Pit focused his gaze on the cookies. "How I see it, you and how Pittoo is now would be a lot better than you and someone like me." Those chocolate chip treats were made by a Goddess of Tricks, he was an idiot for eating them. But alas he wanted something sweet. He took another one and sniffed it. Thinking it was safe to eat the angel opened his mouth for a bite, but before it could get any closer to his mouth, the cookie crumbled to dust. He teared up. Pushing the bowl of cookies aside, Pit got up to his feet. "I should get going. Viridi hates it when I'm late..." The angel walked off and Pandora opened the portal with a snap. A spark lit a firey gust, burning into an opening and the hero exited with a wave. Leaving the kitchen to the grandhall, Pit called out, "Hey you shouldn't think about it too much. Pittoo just isn't like that, he does things his own way. And to be honest you're probably the only one able to tolerate it, he needs you more than you need him... Hmm it might not seem like it now but, that angel will always come back to you. And I bet deep inside, he's happy when he sees you, especially when you save him. You're like his mom right?" Pit made his way to the portal, waiting for a response, but the goddess just stood in silence. Thinking. So he left.
It was quiet once again and the Goddess hovered alone in the palace kitchen. Grabbing the cookie bowl the goddess decided to bring it to Dark Pit. Walking pass invisible floors and the horror mirrors, she then hovered and flew over the trap panel right next to the shortcut. Really, Pandora knew her Palace like the back of her hand, she knew what doors to take and not to take. She knew where each and every trick and what each room was. One of the craziest part of Pandora's Palace is the hallway of a thousand doors. Each doorway was pretty much a trick, and if you opened it then something crazy happens or pops out. Hooray! Zooming pass corridors of long windows at one side and moving decorations at the other, Pandora made it to the spiral stairs which goes up to the two bedrooms.
Pandora knocked on the double door waiting for a response. "Heeeeey Dark Pit! I got some cooooookies!" The door didn't open. "Oh come on, they're chocolate chip!"
Inside Dark Pit moaned. His room was one of the biggest in the Palace and he barely put anything in it, so ya it was pretty spacey. He likes the dark colors, its his style. A big king sized bed with red blankets stood out in the room since the floor was of black marble and the walls were the color of ash. A huge mirror stood at one corner of the room, it was pretty much the replica of the one he came out of except this one has more detail and some other extras. Right next the that mirror was a long window that let in light. "Go away." Dark Pit moaned from under the covers.
"I'm coming iiiin!" She sang kicking down the massive double doors. The goddess saw her little boy falling asleep, aww cute. DP looks so innocent when hes sleeping. But then Calamity saw how messy the room was. Rags everywhere, forgotten weapons all spread out on the floor and books with teared pages here and there. Her voice suddenly turned dark and angry, "Whoa whoa whoa… now this isn't right. Kuro clean your room!"
"Later." His voice tired and muffled by the pillows.
"Three..." The goddess started with her hands on her hips, the angel on the bed twitched. "Two..." Pittoo then twisted and turned, uncomfortable. Right before Pandora could get to one, Dark Pit was already up out of bed with a sour look on his face. She smiled, "Good boy."
"Its my room anyway! I don't have to listen to you!"
"Well its my house, remember?" Calamity winked and headed towards the door, "dinner is at sun down."
The angle ended up taking all the clutter in his room and dumped it in the room next to his. Pandora's room. He also had authority over objects in the mansion since he lived there, with a couple of swift movements with his hands, Pittoo commanded that books to fly and dive down under his bed. It did take awhile though and in that time Dark Pit had time to think about where he was living. He didn't really like Pandora but they had some good days together, like tricking the humans on Tricky Tuesday. The goddess did take care of him as well, like Palutena was to Pit. Oh no, no, no, no, he will not compare himself with that stupid other Pit. This just made him even more angry. Dark Pit then pack up his bags, ran across the Palace and stomped into the main room of the building. The Goddess was in the kitchen making his favorite meal as she heard the footsteps of the angel. She turned around from her cooking and exited. She caught Pittoo near the portal spot and noticed the bags he was holding, she looked uneasy.
Pointing behind her, to the dining room the Goddess said, "I thought we could have dessert first ya know? It just feels like a backwards day." Pandora let go of the spoon and it hovered by her, she then took off her apron. "Where are you going?"
For some reason Dark Pit just couldn't say what he was planning to do. After all Pandora was the one who opened up her house to him, he was the one who came to Calamity. She was there when the angel thought that he was just an image, that he wasn't suppose to belong in the world. Pandora was the one who helped him back on his feet. DP had so many problems and Pandora seemed to always want to help. What the heck? Thinking of a quick lie, Dark Pit opened the portal.
"I'm sleeping over at Viridi's." He said it a bit too quickly, slowly walking backwards.
The goddess nodded slowly, it was clear that she knew Dark Pit was up to something. "Alright... Ah, Pit is over as well isn't he?"
"R-right, I'm just uh... gonna hang out with them."
Wiping her hands, Calamity slowly stepped forward. She pointed, "What's with so much stuff?"
"What stuff?" DP said holding his bag behind him.
"That stuff."
He held up his bag,"Ohh... you mean this stuff."
"Ya that stuff." Pandora crossed her arms and tilted her head with the 'what are you up to' look.
"Um... ya know... just stuff." Before anything else can be said, the dark angel yelled out goodbye and jumped into the spinning vortex. Hearing the 'be careful' and 'be home soon' saying before he closed up the portal.
Flying to who knows where, Dark Pit encountered a little Clobbler. It wasn't angry and Viridi explained every well not to get it mad, NEVER. The angel was taking a break from the sky and walked around the dark forest, but then things got ugly. REALLY ugly. Dark Pit shrugged when he saw only about two Clobblers, but the more he walked the more he found. "HUH?!" He looked to his left, five Clobblers... "WHA?!" He looked to his right, twelve dancing. "AH?!" Looking at his surroundings, DP saw more than twenty frick'n Clobblers! Viridi!
The dark angel sneered, looking deeply to his left and right. Movie time!
The forest was dead with hate, mist that covers the floors and trees that crack. The daylight never reaches the ground and the sky up above is always dark in the forest. Lifeless leaves crush under the dark angel's steps, a fog seeps through his lips and his fist are clenching.
Dark Pit stops. He's in an open area, enemies all around him. While looking over his shoulders DP summons his flaming claws. Using the weapon from the Goddess of Calamity, the dark angel's hands glow in power before sparking a flame of black. Then the edges of the claws are rimmed with a neon blue. Dark Pit drops his bag. "I'm not afraid of you." He yells.
A Clobbler twitches and then breaks open. Awhh snap. "One isn't that bad... I can take you!" DP raises his claw in determination. But one after the other all the Clobblers begin to transform into the huge disgusting beast from inside. There was at least twenty more of them surround the angel. Heaving a big sigh, DP stood his ground. "Looks like someone forgot out take out the trash."
Epic battle scene! Dark Pit focused his attention to a group of monsters running towards him, swinging their huge arms. One, two, three mutant berry arms come for him, "Is that all you got?" DP smirks jumping and rolling, avoiding all hits. Instead of jumping away he goes for a melee dash attack sending one Clobblers to the trees. Not stopping there, the angel bolts towards the other two, kicks one back and shoots the other. Flying melee attacks and outrageous flaming bullets. He dodges and hits, dodges and hits over and over again, not a beat out of place. Its amazing how he knows exactly what's going on around him, seeing all the attack just in time and attacking when his foes are weakened. After getting owned by his counterpart waaaay too many times, DP usually goes out to train with some of the leftover dark forces.
The remaining Clobblers still held up a good fight. Soon enough there were less than ten of them hanging round, but all this fighting is getting to the dark angel. Hes tired and his power is languishing. Dark Pit performed a back flip causing a gigantic cloud of black and blue flame burst. The impact caused the monsters to flinch, not wasting any time DP dashed and attack all of them.
While catching his breath, DP was ganged up by some more Clobblers. He didn't have time to react and this cost him some beating. It felt like the angel already defeated a million of those stupid monsters, why won't they go away?!
"... oh man..." DP saw his life flashing before him when he flew, hitting his back on a tree. "...damn." The angel hissed, lifting up his head DP was able to see more enemies running towards him. "... I gotta... get up..." Using all his strength, DP was able to pull himself together. Booshzz! Seeing everything as if it was put on slow motion, Dark Pit got out of the way in time as the tree got obliterated, the Clobbler's chunky arm smashing the wood like a tooth pick. Daaaayyymnn.
DP laughed, "Haha! You missed loser!" he called. Before DP can have his moment a foe came up from behind him, grabbing onto his ankles. Lifting him up and then throwing him down. Ooo thats gotta hurt!
"Kuro!" A voice so alert and filled with worry echoed through the angel's spinning head. The Goddess of Calamity. "Not again." Laughed the girl. Jumping from the trees, Amazon Pandora held onto her kid and dropped him off on a branch. "Rest up kiddo!" She smirked and jumped back down. By this time the angel was still trying to get his head back together, everything was spinning and the edge of his vision was blurred. The last thing he saw was Amazon patting his head and calling him kiddo.
Dark Pit didn't black out for long, but when his eyes fluttered open and once he found out what really was going on, he saw Pandora taking out some Clobblers. It look like she was doing well, but DP would feel stupid if he just sat watching. Summoning his staff, the angel positioned himself ready to shoot. While the Goddess flipped around and took out a foe, another one appeared behind her without out her seeing. The perfect time for DP to shoot, so he did. The bang of the powerful staff was heard and Pandora held up a 'thumbs up'.
"Pandora!" Yelled the kid, "Jump!"
Amazon smirked as she hopped on the shoulders of a Clobbler, her claws around the eye. Slice! Cutting the eye in a 'x' Pandora laughed and jumped up only to be caught by none other than Dark pit. He held onto her hands and left her dangling, his wings glowed purple and they were off.
As the two left the forest, the fog and clouds began to disappear. The weather on the surface was warm, the sun reaching the horizon. When all seemed to calm down, Dark Pit dropped the Goddess.
"Hey!" Amazon brushed off her shoulders, "Is that the thanks I get for helping?"
"I told you never to follow me!" DP yelled.
"You needed help!"
"Not from you." Sneered the dark angel, "I looked like an idiot back there."
"Gahh! No one saw you!" Throwing her arms in the air, Pandora turned away from her kid. "Its fine to have some help ya know."
"Just get out of here! I wanted to get away from you!" His wings sparkled signaling for another flight. "Thats why I left, so... so just leave me alone!" And off he went.
The Goddess watched and dropped to her knees. Her head hanging down and arms forgotten at her side. No louder than a mouse, Pandora shed a tear, "Don't go..." Her body then started to shine bright as the ground below her grew black like a vortex. Vines look as if they were pulling Pandora into the hole in the ground. Disappearing. The Goddess teleported back to her empty Palace.
Meanwhile... Dark Pit flew far away. Far, far, far away! Extremely far away. So far away that I can say 'far' a million times and that still won't be enough. It really was far away... The angel was away from SkyWorld, away from Pandora's forest, near the surface where the humans were. And it was as if bad luck struck again, a group of leftover dark forces appeared and DP was still recovering. He was flying limp, "Not again..." He moaned.
Don't worry he took them out easy, monoeyes weren't really the worst pretty much useless. But after that, the angle couldn't held anymore. His vision blurred and his limbs were as heavy as lead. So he fell.
D: D: D:
"Emma! Emma!" Squealed a little toddler. "Don't stay out too long!"
"I know, I know." Smiled a girl sitting in a patch of flowers. "I'll be back before dark, you hurry back to the city okay?"
The toddler frowned, "Hmmm..." thinking the kid yelled to hurry once again and ran for the town. It was a community surrounded by big heavy walls, soldiers and guards of all kinds walked near making sure nothing goes wrong in or by the city. He was small but the kid had a big voice, chicken feathers stuck onto his blond hair and dirt stained his attire.
The girl by the flowers relaxed once again, laying down in the colorful sea of roses and carnations. She liked how everything was so quiet and calm, her town was always busy and loud. She could never feel free there. Emma was the girl's name, looking about the age of 16 and the lovely voice of a princess. Long brown hair and bright green eyes. Her expression was never mad but always calm or sad. She wore a short purple skirt, brown boots and a baggy white shirt.
A broken windmill was close, able to hear it creak as it slowly spun. The breeze was faint and the ground was cool, it was so peaceful. All Emma remembered was the war and nothing before that, all the hatred and blood scarred her memory. Right as she was about to drift to sleep, Emma saw something fall at the corner of her eye.
"What?" her eyes focused on the falling object. "Is that... a man?"
Quickly Emma jumped up, she heard stories and legends of the hero who saved the world but never got to see who defeated Hades! Always, the girl was fascinated by the powers one could have. The idea of a world up in the clouds and far from this war cost land made the girl tremble with excitement. Hopping over the fence, Emma made her way to follow the falling figure. She crossed fields and some little houses, jumped over a river and ran on the dirt trail. Emma had a good eye, she noticed a gang of drunk men by a bar, so she quietly turned around to find another way. Stupid pigs, she called them, they smelled like rum and looked like fat meat.
Turning away Emma bumped into a sweaty guy. "Uhh..." She gulped, stepping back only to bump into another guy. Growing nervous, the girl held down her skirt flowing in the wind. She was scared, once seeing a group of men throw a lady from a top of a building.
"Aye, aye little lass! Where you goin' on thee fine day?"
Another man spoke, "The sun is still high, we shall dance till night time!"
Emma started to panic, she desperately tried to make a way to get out of this mess. "E-Excuse me..." The town was built with a wall around it so they can serve as a protection during the war, outside of those barriers were the farming lands and some bars. There was not a lot of guards out by the farms so there was a lot of the mischief and problems.
"Awhh come on now little lady, Let me show you some drinks!"
"Hey I saw her first!"
"She likes me bettah!"
The group of men argued an Emma quietly slipped out. Praying for no one to see her, the girl got ready to run. "Ah!" One of the drunks grabbed onto Emma's wrist.
"Now... what's the rush lass?" Breathed the big man.
Another stepped up and held onto her other hand tightly "We just bein' nice to ya and off you go!"
Struggling to get from their grip, Emma let out a little yell.
"Calm little lass, calm." Smiled a drunk.
Emma's heartbeat rose and she tried to break free. Before anyone else can say anything more, a deep mysterious voice came from afar. "The lady said to let go." Dark Pit slowly walked, he clearly looked as if he was gonna die but the men were too drunk to see.
"Aye! Who might you be?!" Stomped a bar man. He was accompanied by two others, "You have no business here!"
Dark Pit smirked, a little fang showing with his deep red eyes. "All this yelling interrupted my nap and you all should know who I am." The outfit and wings are pretty obvious! Not afraid at all, the angel came up and glared at the men holding onto Emma. "Mind letting go?"
After some grumbles, the drunks backed off, "The lil lass is taken, she ain't worth the trouble." The group complained and walked off. Dark Pit made it look so easy, he held his hand out to help Emma up.
"Thank-" Emma was cut off when DP turned to walk away. "Hey! Wait!"
"Leave me alone."
