It was another day in Skyworld. The war has ended and everything is at peace. The Goddess of Nature, Viridi, decided to withdraw her troop so they could recover from Hades', the Lord of the Underworld, mess.
The centurions were in the coliseum watching and cheering at competition going on. In the field were four fighters and their team captains. The Light vs. Dark match was getting heated up. The white angel had his wolf claws in both of his hands. In front of him was his opponent, the dark teal wings angel with his silver bow. The two targeted, shoot, and dodged the other's attack while trying to take out the other. Both lives were at dangerous levels. Hidden, a dark fighter used an Insight Staff to target the white angel. Landing a shot, the targeted angel was knocked back. It was then when the dark angel finished him and ended the match.
"Dark Team Wins," the referee called. Some of the centurions cheered, others were upset from the Light Team's lost. In respect for good sportsmanship, the black angel helped the white to his feet.
"See you guys later," the white angel said to the fighters as they left.
"That makes eight for me, and two for you Pit-stain," said the black angel.
"I can't believe you actually counted Pittoo," said Pit dusting himself off.
"I am seriously getting really annoyed with that name," Dark Pit pouted.
"Well for now, that's the only name we got. Calling you 'Dark Pit' is just weird considering that we are not exact opposites nor exactly alike." Pit's hand went to the side of his arm. Pain was striking there the most. "I didn't know I landed a rock," he said aloud as he looked at the mark on his arm. Dark Pit took a look at it.
"That doesn't look like a rock mark to me. It looks like you landed on something smooth then you hit the ground, but not a rock." He looked around the area where his counterpart landed. Pit caught something shine close by.
"Found it!" he called out. Dark Pit ran up to him to take a look. It looked like something metal embedded in the rock. "We better tell Lady Palutena this before anyone else gets hurt."
"Help me." a voice called out to them.
"Did you hear that?" Pit asked. The black angel nodded.
"Help me," the voice called out again.
"Where are you?" Pit called out to it as he and his counterpart looked around.
"Beneath you," it answered. The two looked down at the metal piece. Pit uncovered a chain in the dirt. When he grabbed it, a ghostly figure appeared in front of them. A brunette girl with a white trench coat, black shirt, and grey pants appeared.
"I have been sealed in a chamber many years ago. The only way to free me is to go back forty years into the past." The rock uncovered itself and revealed what was there. It was a silver pocket watch. On the front was an imprint of a skull. "This watch has the ability to travel through time. I have already set it to the correct time period. Please help me." At that she faded away.
"What was that all about," Dark Pit asked.
"It's a call for help. We have to go and free whoever that was," his light counterpart answered.
"Hold it, you don't even know who she is and you're going out to help her."
"With Lady Palutena, I help all of humanity. I only know some of the gods and many of the centurions are up here in Skyworld and I still go down and help the people."
"Well count me out. I don't want to get caught up with some joke if it is one."
"Pittoo, this doesn't sound like a joke. Besides, you told me yourself, without me there'd be no you." The black angel remained silent thinking, and then gave a deep sigh.
"Fine, but only so I'm sure you won't die. And please stop calling me 'Pittoo.'"
"Okay, let's get geared up."
Once the two angels got their chose of weapon, they went to Palutena's Temple (Dark Pit didn't want to go, so he was dragged there by Pit.) Pit bowed before the goddess while Dark Pit stood there crossed armed.
"Hello there Pit, and you too Pittoo," she greeted.
"Seriously, you need to come up with a better name then that," Dark Pit pouted.
"Sorry, but I've gotten used to calling you that. Anyway, what brings you two here."
"After today's last Light vs. Dark match, we found something. A pocket watch embedded in the rock of the arena," Pit said while holding the watch in his right hand.
"Let me see it," she commanded. The angel walked up to her and gave her the watch. But once she had it in her hands, it shocked her, making her drop it. She gripped her hand in pain.
"Lady Palutena! What happened?" Pit exclaimed supporting her.
"This is no ordinary pocket watch, it has some sort of magic that-" she started.
"Lets someone travel through time," Dark Pit finished, "Yeah, we know that. "
"Actually, I was going to say that it has an unusual power coming from it. I've felt such a thing before but I never knew that it would exist up in Skyworld."
"What is it?" both angels asked in unison, and then looked at each other in confusion. Even though this isn't the first time they spoke in unison, it still felt weird to them.
"This watch has part of a demon's soul. If it stung that much, it's one of the Lord of Death's demon relics."
"Wait, by Lord of Death, do you mean Thanatos?" Pit asked. "This would make the fourth time he'll been around."
"Actually, the Lord of Death is the also the Lord of the Demons. His real name is unknown even to us gods, but he is nicknamed Death because he would have been the God of Death if it weren't for Thanatos."
'Why is it that everyone is called a better name than 'Pittoo'? It sounds like I'm three years old. But then again, I was created three years ago. But I was only active for not even one.'Dark Pit said mentally.
"Back to the main reason we're here, a voice called to us from forty years ago and asked for help. We came to ask permission to go," Pit requested.
"I would, however, both of you won't be able to fly. You're telling me in the present, so Viridi and I won't know when you go into the past. But thanks to Viridi's fortune-telling (which was really accurate); I've prepared something for it." The goddess of light took a blue and white box. She pulled out two pins and two laurel crowns. "These will help you fly, but you need to control each other. Just like the Power of Flight, you can only be in the air for five minutes every hour. Your wings will burn up if you exceed the five minutes, and I don't think either of you know where the Rewind Spring is."
"So, exactly how do these things work?" Dark Pit asked.
"Simple really, you can control the other using your minds; similar to how Viridi and I do it. But you both need to have a route planned out, so I'd mostly likely think that you both would be walking the whole way."
"I get the laurel crown's use, but what about the pin?" Dark Pit again asked.
"It acts as a timer. Your wings getting hotter will be one sign, but to know exactly how much time you have, the pins will start to shine when you have 30 seconds left. That's when you two need a place to land." She glanced at the watch now in Pit's hands. "I think how that watch works is to just click it open and you will travel the set amount of years. You two better prepare. Just your weapons won't be enough for this mission."
"Understood, we'll be back once we're ready," Pit said, grabbing Dark Pit's arm and dragged his dark counterpart out of the temple.
"I CAN WALK ON MY OWN PIT-STAIN!" the goddess heard the black angel scold his lighter counterpart. She gave a small giggle.
"When will you two get along?" the goddess said out loud.
"So, we have to plan on not just fighting equipment, but also for survival, seeing as we might not come back for days," Pit told Dark Pit in the Arms Alter while finding supplies.
"I kind of know that already. Remember, I don't have a goddess to come home to like you. ," Dark Pit reminded. His hand balled up into a fist. "When I see Pandora again, I'll be sure I'm getting my flight back. Viridi's trying to make me into her version of you."
Pit gave a chuckle as he tried to reach to get blankets. Dark Pit grabbed a bag for food and for some bottles of the drink of the goddesses.
"AHH!" Pit screamed as he fell off the stool and landed on Dark Pit. The blanket fell over both of them.
"Graceful," Dark Pit said sarcastically.
"I really wish I could fly, I've been doing that a lot," Pit pouted.
"Whether you wish to or not, will you please get OFF ME!" Pit got off him. After pulling the blanket away, he could see a footprint on his lower jaw.
"Sorry," Pit apologized. Dark Pit just glared at him. The two finished their work in silence.
When they finished packing, they say a pile on the ground.
"So, how are we going to carry all of this without it having an effect in battle?" Pit asked.
"I didn't even need any of this stuff before, so don't look at me," Dark Pit answered.
"How about we carry it until the boss battles, then we drop our stuff and fight it." Dark Pit just shrugged, taking a bag and flinging it over his shoulder. Equipped with the laurel and pin Palutena gave them, they're ready for the travel through time.
"I've talked to Death while you both were preparing. First, he was surprised that two angel can hold his relic perfectly fine. He also advises that you don't eat anything before time traveling," Palutena warned them.
"Good thing I didn't eat anything after the matches," said Dark Pit.
"Okay Lady Palutena. We'll be back as soon as we can," Pit told her. He pulled out they watch and clicked it. A dome formed over them. Hands that look like arms started to appear. The angels felt as if their stomach were being squeezed as seconds passed.
"Good Luck both of you," they heard their goddess say before they disappeared from the temple.
"PANDORA!"
