Gothic 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. Finally I do not own Phantom Brave or Queen's Blade. They belong to Nippon Ichi and Hobby Japan.
Summary: An enemy from Pit's past is encouraged by Diamond to get revenge on the angel and his friends after being forgotten for this long. Repeating a strategy from the past doesn't seem like the brightest thing, but this demon came prepared with kidnapping other angels in front of Pit and then forcing him into a duel. Normally Pit would have ignored the challenge if it weren't for the fact that Robin didn't just have a baby and said baby was also taken by this demon. He and Dark Pit go to Gothic Galaxy expecting things to be a walk in the park but this demon was prepared for all the possible scenarios. Even Palutena won't be much help once she encounters him and Pit really doesn't want to resort to that awful tactic of getting rid of this guy if Dark Pit can see it…

This story is probably going to be the most lewd one in the galaxy series thanks to how this is the most Queen's Blade heavy influence along with a lot of hentai things I see online. There is a plot though…really…and there's a joke in the Kid Icarus fandom about the villain of the week. Enjoy!
Chapter 1: Revenge of the Forgotten
In an isolated galaxy not too far away from the Smash Brothers Realm was a galaxy with a pitch-black sky. This galaxy had a moon as red as blood that often gave an ominous color to the entire galaxy as well as the only structure that was on the galaxy. The Gothic Cathedral was the only thing standing in a pile or rubble on this forsaken planet. While the galaxy appeared to be abandoned, there was life inside the cathedral. The Gothic Cathedral was overrun by demons that have gathered around one of the few monuments that have yet to shatter depicting a demon mummy with an adorable face hidden underneath the bandages. The likelihood of the statue to the original was so uncanny that it would creep anyone out who didn't know who the statue was supposed to be.
Most of the demons worshipping the statue were goat demons with strange horns. Most of them had black fur and red eyes. There were other animalistic demons too, but they were the ones behind the goat demons.
Away from the statue was another goat demon that was hidden in the shadows of the cathedral speaking to an old man who was hunched over. This man was hiding his appearance underneath a hood to appear like he was part of the demon cult. The larger demon was obviously the leader, so he had no problem speaking to the suspicious old man.
"Is this information about Pit correct?" The leader of the demons spoke sounding rather surprised that someone had information on the angel captain that has caused nothing but despair to all demons.
"Yes. I am a very trustworthy old man." The old man spoke with a laugh. "You may call me Diamond, oh great one. I am in charge of Mecha Galaxy, and let's just say I do not like that angel either. I heard he has humiliated you in combat and had long since forgotten who you are when compared to all the other demons he has defeated."
The demon growled as a response.
"This information will allow you to get revenge on not only Pit, but his Goddess as well. I had to do some research and you proved a formidable opponent, but they just wanted to erase your deeds from history because you did not win."
"Unforgivable…"
"Hmm?"
"They forgot who I was…they have sinned, and will be purified!"
What an odd thing for a demon to say. Diamond suspected that being in a cult too long destroyed one's logic and vocabulary, but he didn't care too much. He wanted a repeat of what happened to Pit in the last timeline. He almost accomplished his goal in Goblin Galaxy. The light angel was susceptible to torture like anyone else that was taken there and if the Smashers didn't save the day…then Diamond could have went with his plan in that timeline. Instead, he had to postpone it and try to get rid of the light angel. However…this time he intended to go for the Goddess of Light and Pit's twin as well. Those three were the biggest threats to his plan. If he could just stop them from interfering and bringing in the big shots in the universe, then he was home free.
Again, while Diamond attempted to start problems in this new timeline for Pit, a figure was watching him from the shadows. He frowned realizing that the brunette was going to be harmed again unless he did something…
It was absolute chaos in Smash Brothers Mansion even before Diamond could launch his plan. The Smashers could blame Robin and Smash Hospital for things going out of control.
To start things off, Robin had been teasing Rob about what he would name his kid should he ever decide to get serious and settle down. She only picked on him now because baby Morgan was close to coming out. No one knew when, but it was going to happen soon. The female tactician decided to mess with her brother for the remainder of the day and there wasn't much Rob could do seeing as how his sister couldn't go anywhere with that big belly.
Rob just considered leaving her alone if she was just going to make fun of him for the rest of the day when she collapsed onto the floor and grasped her stomach in pain. He didn't need to ask her what was happening due to the twin connection they shared. The male tactician would have calmly left to get help if only Chrom didn't rush in see Robin and then getting her to shout at him that the baby was coming. Chrom's panic probably caused the entire mansion to freak out. He picked up Robin and rushed off to the infirmary despite Rob shouting that he needed to treat his sister more gently or at least get Henry to show up.
Most of the Smashers panicked because Robin's yelps of pain were progressively getting louder. She had tried to remain calm in this situation unlike the idiot Exalt, but once she got to the infirmary…there was no way she could hold in her voice anymore. The baby was coming and it was coming fast!
"Mama mia can you all of you stop moving around?!" Dr. Mario shouted seeing how some of the Smashers were running through the halls while Chrom was jogging in place. "Chrom, can you stop being a man in the Olympics and get Robin's husband?"
"B-B-But, Robin is-"
"I'm fine…Chrom…go…"
Rosalina was fortunately with Dr. Mario to be able to use her magic to keep Robin in the same comfortable position Chrom held her in as he rushed off like he was Mr. Fit. During the chaos, Peach attempted to call Smash Hospital to try and get in contact with the doctors there. Unfortunately for her and the rest of the Smashers, the hospital was conveniently full because they had a truckload of injured people come in today, so there was no room to help a Smasher that was going into labor. Peach had slammed her pink cell phone shut nearly cursing at the attitude that the main doctor was giving her at a time like this.
It wasn't just Peach that was on the phone. Pit had an angelic white phone that was used specifically to call the royal bodyguards from Skyworld. He had called the fourth division captain Himeno to assist with healing Robin while she was going into labor. The pink haired angel apparently was making some excuse, but Pit wasn't having that.
"I'LL TAKE YOUR SECRET WINE STASH IF YOU DON'T DO AS I SAY!" Pit shouted as he hung up and sighed as he glanced at some of the Smashers who he was certain was just running around for the sake of running. "Honestly, why the fuck are there two Miis here running?! Shouldn't they all be with Chrom?"
"Only one of them is needed Pit…" Rob murmured as he was one of the few Smashers that was near the door. "Dr. Mario, please let me help my sister."
"No. I think it is best if you stay out here with her family and wait." Dr. Mario told the younger tactician. "I have enough assistance and if Pit's friend hurries down from heaven, then I think I will have all the tools I need to deliver the baby."
"It isn't in your credentials." Rosalina could be heard mocking causing the doctor to glare at her.
Almost immediately a light green light appeared from above in front of the infirmary door. The wind angel made her entrance identical to how Pit and Dark Pit enter the stage in Smash, but compared to them…she was more graceful. Her expression remained serious as she glanced at her captain.
"Captain Pit, where is your friend? I will do all in my power to assist her."
"Go with Dr. Mario, Rosalina and Peach, princess." Pit told her. It was kind of odd how he would address Himeno as a princess, but that there would be another opportunity to ask him. "Make sure you deliver a healthy baby."
"You know…you could have asked Friday to come down…she is the expert in-"
"Nuh-uh! She'll charge me up the ass! Plus you have done your fair share of deliveries! You got this!"
Dr. Mario had to wonder if Pit's wallet was more important than Robin and her baby's life. Then again, Himeno was one of the best healers in heaven, so it wasn't anything to scoff at. The pink haired angel slowly nodded her head as she asked the Smashers to lead her into the infirmary. Rosalina had used her magic to place Robin on the bed before glancing at her younger brother.
"Don't worry. Your sister will be okay. Trust us."
Rob made a sound that was barely audible as Rosalina went inside along with Peach. Dr. Mario had asked the other Smashers to leave and wait for the news or to calm down and let them do their jobs. They weren't real experts unlike the doctors at Smash Hospital but there wasn't much they could do especially since the two hands weren't even around at the moment (they said something about looking into other fighters at other tournaments, but they were being very vague with the details).
It was getting apparent that the Smashers were doing more harm than good on the outside, so the female Smashers…particularly Zelda and Samus had to escort the others back to their rooms one by one. Pit wondered why Palutena didn't even bother to come down, but it probably had to do with the fact that she would shower the baby with gifts from the heavens immediately afterward. It was nice to see Dark Pit was helping the ladies get the younger Smashers to come down especially Lucas who was bawling for Robin thinking she was going to die.
Rob needed the most comfort out of everyone. He ended up slumping against the wall and letting out a huge sigh. Soon, he would sit down and force his knees up before resting his forehead against them. Pit and Shulk looked at each other with concern wondering how they would comfort the male tactician.
"Hey, Rob. Your sister will be fine. Himeno may not be the best angel in Skyworld, but she's one of the better ones." Pit began trying to be honest with the younger tactician.
"Your sister is strong, Rob." Shulk added as he took a seat next to the younger male and slowly slung his arm around the white haired magician effectively pulling the two closer. "You have to believe in her."
"…I do believe in her." Rob murmured. "It doesn't change the fact that I fear for her life." His expression darkened as he hid his eyes behind his hair. Shulk noted that his body was shivering. "I'm scared that she'll leave me again…I already lost her once and I don't want her to disappear again…"
Rob was referring to the moment where his older twin had sacrificed herself to stop Grima for good. It didn't do much in the long run seeing as how Grima simply escaped into Rob's body even though he was in a dormant state. Robin miraculously survived due to the strong bonds between her comrades and was also no longer the vessel of Grima. It was just Rob's bad luck that Grima would go to him next seeing as how they were twins after all. He was just fortunate Grima had yet to take over or would have the strength to do so.
Regardless, he just didn't want to mourn for his sister again who was the only family he had left. She may have gotten on his nerves constantly, but he wouldn't be complete without his beloved sister.
Pit stood there in silence while Shulk allowed Rob to lean over and sob into his chest. They both knew the feeling of losing someone they treasured dearly and the miracle that occurred to where their precious someone had survived.
Chrom would finally return with his worried family along with Robin's. Henry was surprisingly out of breath by the time he rushed over from Smashopolis to the mansion. It took a while to get from the mansion to the metropolis, and the Mii currently in charge of the bus probably wasn't driving fast enough. Olivia had to make sure that Henry didn't collapse on them when they arrived but her worry was shown on her face.
"Is Robin okay?" She asked Pit seeing as he appeared to be the calmest of the three Smashers still in front of the infirmary.
"She will be." Pit told her with a reassured smile. "Chrom, I think you need to calm down."
"I am calm!" Chrom shouted when it was obvious he wasn't. "Okay…maybe I'm not…but Robin is…"
Henry managed to catch his breath but didn't say anything. He tried to keep a serious expression but failed. His worry for his wife was so obvious that Pit wondered how the man that often made puns at inappropriate moments and the man standing in front of him were the same person.
"…Mother is sickly though after that final battle with Grima." Morgan spoke. "Rob is too. Just traveling to the Smash Brothers Realm has taken a toll on their health." He tried his best to smile, but it was too fake. "If I disappear right now, I think we will know what happened inside."
"Morgan!" Inigo shouted not happy that Morgan would joke about his own existence disappearing. "Don't joke about that!"
"You're right…my apologies."
Dark Pit and Lucina would return after taking Lucas back to his room and calming him down. Lucina was very concerned for her roommate so it made sense that she would be there to support her friend's brother and his family. The dark angel noticed the tension in front of the infirmary and wanted to head to Palutena's room until things had settled down.
How long were they waiting? It might have been a few hours. No one wanted to move from their spot in fear that something terrible would occur if they did. Pit sighed seeing Chrom pace around again making things worse. They needed to believe in Dr. Mario and the girls for everything to be okay. Robin was strong. Childbirth would not kill her…
Eventually, their prayers were heard. They were all surprised hearing Dr. Mario shout that the demon baby had arrived earning some complaints from Peach about how rude he was being. Himeno had slowly opened the door. She was terribly pale from how much healing magic she used, but from the looks of things…everything was okay.
"C-Can I have Robin's family inside…" She asked weakly. Pit was very quick to catch her before she collapsed.
"Hey princess, take it easy! Don't want Sun-Wong to be lecturing you about going overboard."
"Sorry…captain…just…difficult…"
Henry, Morgan and Rob were the only ones who were allowed to go inside. Chrom wanted to follow but Himeno had to remind him that only those related by blood could check up on the female tactician.
Robin had survived if barely. Healing magic was probably what saved her in the long run. She was just happy that everything turned out okay, but she wasn't really pleased that Dr. Mario had just called her baby a devil.
"What's this about giving birth to a demon spawn?" Henry asked his wife immediately forcing his smile to come back in an attempt to try and lighten the mood. Rob had to facepalm at how insensitive Henry could be.
"That baby did not cry!" Dr. Mario announced. "That is not normal!"
"Morgan's father is a crazy crow fanatic obsessed with puns and gore. His mother was the former vessel of Grima. I think you should have seen this coming." Rob snarked as he noted that Robin was sitting up with baby Morgan in her arms. He smiled seeing how happy his sister looked. "I'm glad you didn't vanish again like the last time."
"Is this really…the time for jokes?" Robin asked weakly. "He's so adorable."
"Of course! Our genes would make adorable children." The male tactician joked before looking over to Morgan who was surprisingly silent. "Morgan?"
"…Is this the part where I say goodbye to mother and father?" He asked solemnly. "I have finally been born so I really don't have a reason to be here…"
"Don't say that!" Henry exclaimed. "Just because we have another Morgan doesn't mean that you are not our son! We might have to split the time between demon Morgan and amnesic Morgan, but you can stick around."
The dark mage had a difficult time expressing his concern for the people he loved. Morgan smiled weakly at Henry's attempt to try and console him. Morgan was still thinking of leaving soon, but he couldn't now. He had to make sure that his mother's health returned before then…but for now…it wouldn't hurt to stick around and take care of his younger self with his family.
"Thanks…I will do that."
A few weeks have passed since Morgan had been born. Things have returned to normal in Smash Brothers Mansion with Diamond's plan yet to take effect. The only difference is that Robin could no longer participate in the Smash tournament until she recovered. Rob was willing to pick up the slack for her if it meant that his sister would get better faster. Seeing the tactician twins acting like a loving family for once was heartwarming for the Smashers to see. Shulk thought it was for the best seeing as how Rob had always loathed being in his sister's shadows. Morgan being born made Rob realize that he loved his sister too much to wish bad things on her and they would finally be able to rebuild the relationship they had lost so long ago.
Baby Morgan was very energetic for a baby. In fact, the baby was a very fast learner so it wouldn't be long until he crawled on his own. This was unnatural for a child, but it was obvious that Morgan was able to learn quickly because of his mother. As a result of being hyperactive and finding ways to cause problems, Robin, Henry and the future Morgan would allow others to watch over the devil baby. The angel twins were the first on the list to volunteer (or at least Dark Pit was. He tried to hide his curiosity, but he wanted to try to handle a baby once). Pit originally didn't want to help Dark Pit, but Lucina wasn't always going to be there with Dark Pit to watch the child together while Robin's family would relax for a couple of hours before coming back to handle the child.
Pit secretly hated children…maybe it wasn't so secret seeing how he had a bad habit of dismissing the younger Smashers in the mansion. He had his reasons that he would rather not talk about concerning his dislike, but he couldn't help but smile at how happy baby Morgan looked at him when the white angel played peek-a-boo with him.
"Pit, you can stop pretending you don't like kids. You obviously do." Dark Pit teased while continuing to hold baby Morgan in his arms.
"I don't. When you have to put up with a bunch of brats from the tenth division and teenagers who don't want to grow up…then you're start hating them too."
"But they're not babies."
"They act like newborns."
"You mean you don't?"
Pit hated how Dark Pit had a point so he dropped the conversation. He sighed hearing the raven haired angel chuckle at his older twin not having a comeback statement.
The two were outside of the mansion…probably at the crossroad where the road splits between Smash Forest and Smashopolis. The farther they were from the mansion, the easier it was for the angels to have some alone time. Pit had to admit that because of his duties as captain, he wasn't spending as much time as he wanted with his younger twin. Dark Pit was fine though. He had Lucina and Lucas to keep him company. Sometimes Arachne and Kaguya would come down from Skyworld to keep him entertained…and of course sometimes Shulk's friend Reyn would appear after whatever he was doing in Bionis to hang out. Pit wished that Dark Pit didn't make an odd group behind his back, but there wasn't much the brunette could do.
"…With the way you act with Morgan…I think it's safe to say you're going to love having children in the future."
"Ehh?"
That caught Dark Pit's attention after he was done rubbing his nose against baby Morgan's. The baby made adorable squeaks while waving his small hands in the air.
"I can imagine you having three and they all just come to you when they don't want to listen to your lover."
It took time for the black angel to register those words before his face turned beet red.
"W-What are you talking about? Why is this conversation happening?!"
Pit smirked as he continued to let his imagination go wild. "You'll appreciate the Greek culture and have a child with each of the people you are in love with. You'll achieve your harem in the future with how things are going for you and you'll be more loved than I ever will."
There was so much sarcasm dripping in Pit's future prediction but Dark Pit took it very seriously.
"L-Look who is talking…the only one I could ever hope to have a child with is Luci because I hope you remember Pitstain that it's impossible for two men to have a child!"
"Prism is still searching though."
"I hope he never figures out the secret! You're just letting your gay fantasy of me with some other guy's kid get to you! Its impossible!"
"And that's why you're blushing."
Dark Pit let out a huge sigh realizing this conversation was pointless. Pit kept pushing though.
"…So what would you name your child if you did have one with Lucina? I bet it will be something noble…or something a nerd like you would come up with."
Li glared at the light angel before trying to hide his eyes behind his hair. His cheeks were still red because of this topic.
"Lu…"
"What? What was the name?"
"Luke…" Dark Pit whispered to himself more than Pit.
"Can you say that name louder?"
"Shut up Pitstain! I'm not going to say it again!"
Pit just laughed and repeated the name his younger twin said. Dark Pit really needed to turn the conversation on Pit so he would regret having this weird conversation about naming potential children of the future. Dark Pit had his doubts for the future and the last thing he needed was for Pit to get his hopes up.
"What about you? How many kids would you have and what would you name your child?"
Pit expected this question to be thrown back at him. Ironically, he was rather speechless and couldn't answer right away.
"Well…since I hate kids…I would rather avoid it. In a hypothetical situation…having one son would be nice." Pit smiled realizing that he and Dark Pit were the same desiring a son. He didn't want to broadcast that and continued. "…I would probably name him after my deceased father."
Dark Pit blinked. Pit never talked about his parents much less his past. Hearing this was rather…nice. Pit had a melancholic look to his face bringing up his father. All of his life, the angel captain thought he hated his father. As of late…he felt the hatred in his heart concerning that particular man going away ever so slowly…so the idea of naming his kid after the man who had made him miserable as a kid…would show some character growth. Pit would finally be able to move on from his troubled past when the time came. Still, it was impossible if only because everyone Pit liked was a man who was incapable of producing a child…and the one girl he had a crush on was part of the undead…therefore it was pointless trying to reproduce with her.
Pit's train of thought was interrupted by a voice from above. The two angels looked up recognizing the youthful voice.
"THIS IS TERRIBLE! THERE IS TROUBLE!"
"Laila?" Pit called out as he noticed that Laila was going to crash land into him. He extended his arms out hoping to catch her but the Heavenly Rifle that she was carrying ended up smacking him in the face as they both fell down onto the grass. "Oww!"
"Pit? Laila?"
Dark Pit goes over to the two angels and attempts to assist Laila. Pit growls at how the red eyed angel wasn't prioritizing his "big brother". Once the blonde half-angel was up, she quickly apologized for her clumsiness. Baby Morgan who extended his hand out to her immediately distracted her.
"So cute!" Laila exclaimed as she took Morgan from Dark Pit and held Morgan up in the air.
"Laila…focus…" Pit groaned. "Tell me what the terrible trouble is…please don't take three steps and forget…"
While still holding Morgan in her arms, she told Pit why she had come to Smash Brothers Realm armed and ready to traverse the Underworld.
"Angels have been kidnapped! I left to warn you that this Overlord is after you! He's really big and dangerous!"
At the mention of angels being kidnapped, Pit felt a sharp pain that caused him an immediate headache. He clutched his forehead in pain. Images were playing in his mind of the last time he was told that angels were kidnapped…it lead to his capture…torture and an encounter with the Minotaur he feared so much and wanted to avoid at all cost. Dark Pit felt Pit's pain and asked if something was wrong.
"No…I just feel like I had a déjà vu moment…"
"Pit…"
"Laila, do you know who this demon is and where I can find him?"
Before Laila could respond, a large hand suddenly appeared from below her. The vast darkness pushed the light angel and his doppelgänger away as the hand grabbed at Laila's waste. The blonde Nephilim let out a painful cry as she ended up holding Morgan in a way where he wouldn't be squeezed to death. Pit was certain he recognized the sharp nails of the demon from somewhere.
"If you want this girl and the other angels back…you will have to fight me in a duel on my turf Pit…just like old times."
"Wait, who are you?!" Pit asked knowing it was futile to ask.
"You really don't remember? Ufufufu…your memory is very bad captain…I hope you remember before I decide to eat her."
The angel captain wasn't fast enough to save Laila from the demon that pulled her into the dark portal below the ground and vanish. The only trace of Laila ever being in the meadow was the angel feathers that fell off her. Dark Pit paled immediately as he fell to his knees. At first, Pit thought he was terrified of the powerful demon and that Laila was taken in front of him…but it was something worse.
"P-Pit…the demon took Morgan…"
Pit's eyes widened in horror realizing how fucked they were.
Pit felt his ears bleed the minute they went to tell Robin that her baby was taken away by one of Pit's longtime enemies. She just happened to be in the same room as the green haired Goddess and the angel captain thought Robin would talk about this calmly like the tactician she was. No…she just blew up in their face and threatened to set their wings on fire. It was a good thing that Rob was with her to snatch the tome from her. If it was Henry, he would have let them be cooked for supper.
"YOU LET MY BABY GET KIDNAPPED?! WHAT KIND OF BABYSITTERS ARE YOU?!"
"Really bad ones…" Dark Pit mumbled quietly to himself feeling really bad about not being able to help baby Morgan.
"ROB, LET ME SEND THEM TO HELL SO THEY CAN GET MY BABY BACK!"
"Sis, calm down…this isn't like you…" Rob muttered as he held his sister back. "Your health can't take these outbursts."
"Your brother is right, Robin." Palutena responded sternly. "The only thing we can do now is think of a plan to get your baby back along with my angels."
"You know there wouldn't be a plan if you jerks didn't bring problems to the Smash Brothers Realm every single time!" Robin snapped before she forced herself to take a huge breath.
Robin was right and the residence of Skyworld knew this. They have lived for so long (not counting Dark Pit) that they had made too many enemies. Now these demons are coming out of the woodwork and want revenge on them. Pit wished he had better memory, but he killed so many demons that he couldn't remember all the ones he spared. He sighed trying his best to put the voice to the face of a particular demon of the past, but drew a blank instead. It was the same for Palutena who had a hard time taking her enemies seriously until they were right at her front door.
"Sis, everything is going to be okay." Rob awkwardly tried to comfort her but ended up flinching hearing her break down sobbing.
"Urghhh…give me back my precious baby…-sniff- He's going to die and I won't be able to save him…"
"We will do all in our power to find your baby." Palutena reassured her. "We will see to it that Morgan is not harmed."
Robin didn't want to hear words. She wanted to see actions. If Pit and Palutena didn't even know who their opponent was, it would be difficult to track them down. Dark Pit retreated back into his mind asking Eve if she might know something. He was surprised that she spoke to him at all.
They will probably send a demon to teleport you two for the duel soon. Just be patient and be cautious.
Again, that demon went back to praying in the cathedral after he had finished making the threat to the angel twins. He prayed that everything would go according to plan and that Pit would receive the punishment he rightfully deserved.
"Oh Ellipse, here me now…let the angel receive his just desserts. Soon, you will come back to us demons and take revenge for the injustice those angels have done…"
"You know, you're going to be stabbed in the back by one of these angels if you keep praying."
The demon stopped talking to the glorified statue of the person he was praying to. Diamond was behind him with an evil smile on his lips. He had a rope in his hands that he was yanking on. Pulling it out revealed a fallen archangel that the demon did recognize.
"Is that Pit?!"
"No, it's his father. Can't you tell by the number of wings? He thought he was so sneaky snooping around. He was going to find a way to inform his son about your plan. What would you do without me?"
Daedalus really was bad at hiding, or rather…he was doing fine, but Diamond knew what Daedalus was capable of doing and made sure to keep tabs on him. This is just an incident where he couldn't disobey the sorcerer and ended up getting bound and gagged, and it was made worse that he was stripped of his claws. The only way he could talk was with Tinker, but he couldn't activate it to be a weapon. It could only make sarcastic quips about the situation he was in and it just infuriated him to know end.
"You are in a very bad situation, Daedalus." Tinker mocked causing the fallen archangel to close his eyes while scowling underneath the gag. "A very kinky situation, I should add."
"Ho-ho-ho. You made a very kinky robot." The old man commented only earning a groan from underneath the gag. "But he is correct with the kinkiness. I am going to repeat the same event that happened in the last timeline. You will enjoy your time with your sons, and you will become obedient."
Daedalus glared at old sorcerer as he handed the rope to the demon in front of him.
"He's all yours. If Pit has a trick up his sleeve, use his father as a hostage. You'll be surprised at how fast he will give in."
"I will. Heh heh…his father is kind of cute…almost like he didn't age a day."
"That's the joy of youthful genetics of angels. Now…please excuse me while I bring Pit over to you." Diamond said as he slowly used his magic to change his appearance. The demon gasped seeing the old man turn into young redhead with sharp glasses to put. As an old man, he was hideous, but this youthful appearance was rather stunning. Daedalus had seen Diamond do this in the past, but what was to be expected from the Sorcerer of Creation Sphere?
"Please do. I cannot wait for Pit to do the purification process."
Daedalus honestly feared for his son at this point. These demons were going to ruin him if he didn't do something, but seeing as how he was caught again by Diamond…the chances of Pit being screwed were very high.
Pit and Palutena had spent the remainder of the day ordering the other angels around to find Morgan, Laila and the other kidnapped angels, but by nightfall…there was no real news. Robin had slipped into absolute despair at this point thinking she would never see her baby again. Rob was there to comfort her and unlike Chrom, he wasn't going to leave to get her husband or future son. He had promised the angel twins he would watch over his elder sister so she wouldn't do anything careless. The two had fallen asleep instead, so Pit wouldn't have to worry of Robin doing something stupid.
This didn't make him feel better when all the angels he sent told him the same thing. Pit communicated with most of the royal bodyguards with his cellphone and growled when Kaguju told him the same thing like the rest. Pit had higher hopes for Kaguju to find a clue of some sort seeing as how he was the angel that had his way of getting information that the normal angel shouldn't know. Dark Pit watched Pit hang up on the purple angel as he started to dial for assistance from the Angel Assembly.
"You know they aren't going to respond to you, right?"
"Valerie will. He has to…this is going to be his business."
"But isn't the judge already in the Netherworld doing his own thing?"
Pit groaned recalling that Valerie did say something about visiting a Netherworld president. Pit wanted to know the history of those two seeing as how Valerie never left to the demon realm unless something caught his interest.
"Dammit…what are we supposed to do? Unlike the angels, a baby can't stay in the care of demons for long."
Dark Pit would have told his light twin to be patient like Eve told him, but someone beat him to the bunch. Both angels noticed a golden butterfly enter the room. Immediately Pit prepared his bow ready to shoot whoever from the Golden Land was invading his room. The two angels were surprised that it was a sorcerer that they were certain wasn't someone that was under The One's command. Pit tried to remember whom this sorcerer was, but he drew another blank.
Not remembering so many people is really getting on my nerve. Pit thought darkly to himself while he continued to point his arrow at the young sorcerer's face. "Who are you?"
"I am a forgotten sorcerer of the early times." The redhead spoke puzzling the angel captain even more. "My identity is not important. What matters is I am a messenger for the great one who wishes to have a duel with you. I am capable of bringing you straight to him."
"Oh…really?" Pit asked not convinced despite the fact the Golden Land was capable of pretty much anything. "I don't trust you."
"You don't have to trust me. Just know that if you do not follow me, I cannot guarantee the safety of those you deem important."
The sorcerer was only referring to the angels, but to Pit…Morgan was very important. Pit's blue eyes glanced at Dark Pit's concerned red ones.
"Oh, your twin has to come along too…just to watch the duel."
It was a trap. Pit was certain. Dark Pit had his weapon next to him, so he would be able to defend himself knowing an ambush would occur the minute they arrived wherever this demon was. Dark Pit wouldn't be able to leave the young sorcerer's sight though. Instead he closed his eyes and slowly nodded his head.
Eve, can you leave a message for Palutena or any of the other Smashers that stop by? I don't trust this man.
You shouldn't. He is very dangerous…possibly more dangerous than the demon Pit will fight. It is important to remain cautious. What do you need me to write?
"…Where is the duel going to be?" Dark Pit asked needing the exact info from the horse's mouth.
"Oh? We're just going to go to Gothic Galaxy. It is not too far from the Smash Brothers Realm, but it would be quicker if you went through my portal instead of relying on say…the Goddess of Space. Time is of the essence after all."
Pit's eyes widened at the name of the galaxy. The pieces of the puzzle were slowly fitting into one big picture in Pit's mind. He was just missing one more piece and that piece was who would drag him to that spooky planet for a duel.
"Now, you two will come along quietly or things will get ugly."
Again, Dark Pit nodded his head. At this point, he had used Eve's special magic to write a message that would only appear when a Smasher were to walk into the room. There was a timer on this message though where if the twins took too long to return that the message would be sent to Palutena, Rosalina or Master Hand to know where they have gone. Finally, and this was only for extra precaution, Dark Pit placed a teleport spell near the bed in case they were lucky enough to teleport someone back to the Smash Brothers Realm unharmed whether it was baby Morgan or the captured angels.
"Don't threaten me." Pit hissed while he put his weapon away. "Pittoo…stay close."
The sorcerer just laughed as he opened the portal. Golden butterflies came out of it and formed a giant golden hand ready to grab the twins and throw them in. It wasn't necessary seeing as how the angel twins went into the portal with no hesitation. The sorcerer just chuckled as he closed the portal very quick.
"Now…it is time for insurance to ensure these two don't get in the way this time around…"
Of course Pit suspected that he wasn't going to get a fair duel once he arrived at his destination. Demons were notorious to not fight honorably. Pit had yet to meet an honorable demon besides the one that would be his future husband (right now, he is just a child so Pit wouldn't have to worry too much about that). Pit was just glad that Dark Pit was catching on at this point that demons were not to be trusted. The minute they were warped to Gothic Galaxy, they were immediately surrounded by the goat demons waiting for the two angels to appear in front of them. The two already had their bows out ready to deal with the situation at hand.
"So you finally decided to show up, Pit!"
It finally clicked who this mysterious opponent was. Now that Pit got a good image of the demon, he could see two big horns, bat wings and a tail on this Baphomet demon. Pit's jaw dropped not realizing how shocked he was.
"No way…Orcos…"
Orcos smirked. "Surprise bitch. You thought you seen the last of me?"
"…Umm…yeah…Myths and Monsters isn't canon to our universe…so…forgive me for not remembering who you were."
Dark Pit was completely lost. He looked toward the audience wondering if they were just confused as he was before glaring back at the demon known as Orcos.
"Now that you do remember me regardless if I'm canon or not, I hope you enjoy the welcoming ceremony."
"Does this include being surrounded by demons ready to pounce on me and Pittoo?" Pit asked darkly as he got Palutena's Bow out. "I may not remember my battle with you well, but you must not be that powerful if I just remembered who you were now."
"You better put that weapon away, captain. You wouldn't want me to harm this baby, do you?"
So Orcos was aware that Laila had baby Morgan in her arms. Seeing as how he wasn't an angel, he had full intention of using this baby as a hostage.
"You coward!" Dark Pit shouted not liking where this situation was going. "If you hurt Morgan, I'll-"
"Pittoo!" Pit shouted as he slowly put his weapon away. "…I surrender…but you see now why I hate kids? They are such a hassle."
"P-Pit…"
Orcos smiled seeing Pit give up so quickly...that was probably why he frowned thinking that the brunette had a trick up his sleeve. He wouldn't be able to stop Pit immediately though seeing as how it wasn't the white angel that had the plan but the dark angel who ended up acting rashly.
"That child is going back to the mansion!" Dark Pit declared as his wings started to glow a bright color. It reminded Pit of the Golden Land and it caught him and the demons in the room off guard. "WARP!"
The divine beings were able to warp others from one location to another. The angels were allowed to use it during their free for all and Light versus Dark competitions. For Dark Pit to be able to snatch a crying child in the demon's hand with relative ease was an impressive task. Unfortunately for Dark Pit, he didn't take into account that using the spell once would wear him out. He could hear Eve chastise him before her voice faded into the back of his mind.
"Pittoo?"
"Guh…didn't think that would take a lot out of me…"
"…You're going to tell me where you got this magic from…but I have my idea." Pit told him as he picked up Palutena's Bow again. "Now that the baby is out of the way, let us have our duel, Orcos!"
Pit had charged the Baphomet expecting this to be quick. The only problem was that Orcos had more than one hostage. If the hostage was Laila, Pit would have stopped. If the hostage was anyone else, Pit would have probably killed them along with the demon from his past.
…So when an angel that looked to be an older version of the captain was pulled on a rope out of the shadows…Pit stopped attacking again because another group of images played through his mind and caused another migraine.
"Guhhh…old man?!"
"Huh?!"
Dark Pit was completely lost now. Orcos enjoyed how Diamond assisted him when things were getting ugly. Now he had the angel twins where he wanted him with this second hostage.
"You may have saved that baby…but will you attack me knowing that your father that you thought was dead is alive as well as a hostage?"
"Grr…"
If only Daedalus wasn't gagged, he would have shouted at Pit to forget about him and to just keep attacking. He was stunned that his child would throw his weapon away for good this time for him…
"Pit?!" Dark Pit called out before he found a demon seized him from behind. "Guhh!"
Pit couldn't help his father or his twin at this point. He had to let himself be captured. He didn't come in with a plan because he thought Pittoo would think ahead. If his only plan was to save Morgan…then they were screwed. Blue orbs continued to stare at Orcos as another demon seized him from behind making sure to tie his hands behind his back.
"Good boy. At least I know you have light in that black heart of yours." Orcos mocked as he yanked on the rope that was wrapped around Daedalus. "And I got you to thank. My comrades, take them to the cell below! We must prepare the Purification Process!"
Me: TBC with 8866 words.
Li: You know, I wonder if you're one of the few people who still remember Myths and Monsters.
Me: Who knows? Sakurai sure didn't remember who he was since that game isn't canon! Notes!
1. Pit calling Himeno on the cellphone is a reference to my story Fallen Angel where Himeno decided that a present for Lived and all the royal bodyguards with a few other angels would get a cellphone color-coded their wings or element. These phones would allow the angels to communicate with one another. This is also a reference to Kirby and the Amazing Mirror where Kirby just uses his phone and the other Kirbys just magically show up.
2. Pit calls Himeno "princess" mainly due to how "Hime" means "princess" in Japanese and she is Japanese. To be fair, there is some foreshadowing too with Himeno in general in the sense that Himeno's father always had a bad habit of calling his wife "princess" despite not being one.
3. Something I don't think I brought up in My Precious Sibling even though I probably should have is why the Robin twins are so slow in Smash when they were fast in their own game. Grima has taken a toll on their health. Robin didn't get rid of Grima without a price and I made it to where she was sickly and having Morgan can indeed kill her. With Rob, having Grima inside of him had just worn him out over time to the point where he tires out easily. This is why they shouldn't be moving around that much in a Smash battle due to their declining health that can't kill them unless they overexert themselves.
4. Bringing up the idea of Pit and Dark Pit having kids is funny and sad given there are a few timelines where it didn't really go well for Dark Pit. The names of the children do kind of foreshadow future relationships with other characters such as Pit finally being able to forgive Daedalus enough that he would willingly name his first son Daedales.
5. Trying to figure out what Orcos is supposed to be was difficult. Aria had to look through some demons and I don't like how the Kid Icarus Wiki suggests Orcos is an orc just because of his name. An orc is either a humanoid monster that is under the same classification as a goblin or a pig demon and Orcos doesn't have any of these features. Orcos has horns and bat like wings instead and there isn't a specific demon that matches this description. However the Baphomet demon is considered the closest match with horns identical to what Orcos has and sharp wings. The Baphomet also matches the theme of the theme of the cathedral and cults. The Baphomet is said to be able to control women, grant powers to witches and therefore should be a demon of the Golden Land (which they aren't). The Knight Templar heroes were accused of worshipping Baphomet and were to be burned alive after being accused as heretics. Seeing as how this is the fate of Apostle Ellipse who was burned at the stake by the angels, its kind of obvious where I'm getting at.
That's it. Reviews are appreciated. Ja ne!
