Mika: HELLO!...Again, Zuki and I have found Inspiratio!
Zuki: I wrote the whole thing this time!
Mika: Not quite, I came up with some of the ideas that I am actually quite proud of. :)
Zuki: I meant that everything was flipped, I write you help, unlike our other story (MDS) where you wrote and I helped.
Dark Pit: 'sup
Palutena: There's no need to be rude Pittoo.
Dark Pit: *Glares*
Zuki: Ummmm...Lady Palutena... its Dark Pit.
Pit: HEY!I call Lady Palutena, Lady Palutena! :(
Mika: Zuki note that I call him Dark Pit and not Pittoo.
Zuki: Already noted, sorry Pit for calling her, Lady Palutena.
Viridi: HELLO!
Zuki: Wait...you haven't been in any of our stories yet...
*Awkward Silence*
Mika: Just to inform you readers, this story will be filled with action, Drama, and some blood.
Zuki: OK I am going to say the...whats it called?
Mika: DISCLAIMER!
Zuki: Yeah...
Viridi: Wait...Can I, can I?!
Zuki and Mika: Sure
Viridi: They don't own any of the KIU characters-
Zuki: But it would be awesome if we did. :)
Anyways, since we are working on two KIU stories right now, it might take longer than intended to get MDS posted.
Fallen Grace
Part 1: the dark rift
At first after hades disintegrated everything was silent then suddenly a roar of cheers came from behind pit, he grinned looking down at the town.
"Listen to all those cheers, we saved every living thing! Everywhere!"
"Not to rain on your parade, but now we are back to the real problem."
"What's that?" Pit asked raising a brow, wasn't hades the whole problem altogether?
"Humans! You might be fooled by this adoration but I am not fooled by those cheers at all. Sure Palutena says that humans are closest to the gods but she can be a real sap sometimes. Why do you care so much about them anyways?"
Pit was about to answer when a sudden rift sent him spiraling through the air.
Pit caught himself just in time, "w-what was that?"
He looked around pitch black clouded his vision.
Palutena gasped as she lost contact with her angel, "Viridi! Pit is gone, I can't even sense him."
After a moment Viridi answered, "Your right, pit has completely vanished."
Suddenly an angel appeared in the sky, both goddesses turned their attention to him.
"Pittoo?"
The dark angel clenched his fist, "two things."
Both goddesses waited for what it was he had to say.
"First thing, where's pit?"
Palutena shook her head in despair, "I don't know Pittoo..."
There was a silence, then Viridi asked, "...so what's the second thing?"
Dark Pit growled looking up at the sky angrily and yelled, "My name is Dark Pit!" Palutena and Viridi sweat dropped after he got that out of his system he folded his arms.
"Do you think hades is behind this?"
At the same time both the goddesses said no.
"Not likely." Viridi answered him, "first off hades was just beaten-"
"-wait a god like hades can't be killed!" Dark Pit interrupted.
"That can't be right-" Viridi started.
"-actually what dark pit says is true, if a god is powerful enough they can escape death, especially when they rule the underworld."
"What happens to them?" Dark Pit asked.
"Well, first they take a state that can only be strengthened by souls, but this can be a tricky state. See you can only do so much, I don't even know what you can do in this state, but I know it's weak."
Palutena stopped for a second to let them catch on.
"Hold on so you're saying that the only way to get back is to consume enough souls?!" Dark Pit asked angrily.
"Yes...why?"
"Hades eats souls as a delicacy, souls are crazy easy for him to obtain!"
Viridi gasped, "Palutena could hades do that?"
Palutena shook her head, "no, we are no longer at war and only gods can open the doors of the Soul Chamber if they have bodies. Right now is a mere shadow."
Dark pit and Viridi both sighed in relief. But that still didn't answer every question.
"Then who could be behind this?" Dark Pit asked again.
"Medusa." Palutena growled.
Everyone gasped in horror.
"Wait Medusa's dead." Viridi sweat dropped.
Palutena chuckled rubbing the back of her head, "heh, heh yeah... Sorry forgot about that."
Dark Pit looked around.
"Umm Palutena can we meet at you palace to discuss this further."
Palutena nodded, "sounds good."
"I will come too," Viridi joined in.
...Soon everyone arrived at the palace...
Palutena stood in her feast room, walking back in forth in deep concentration. As she did Dark Pit watch silently from a chair he had pulled out.
He leaned back putting his muddy shoes on the white table cloth.
He smiled devilishly, looking at the stains of mud. Palutena was going to be mad. Palutena looked at him and the table cloth, but all she did was shake her head continuing her search.
He folded his arms placing his shoes back on the floor and stared in confusion. She wasn't even mad? Why was she stressed this much over Pit Stain?
He did understand, pit was like a son to her, but pit also could fight battles, battles that could destroy a normal being.
Dark Pit couldn't help but miss the spars he had with pit, he hoped the angel turned up soon.
Suddenly Palutena perked up, a smile covered her face. "Found hi-"
Bam!
The doors of the room flung open as Viridi came strutting in followed by Phosphora and few of her plant soldiers from her army. A.k.a forces of nature.
"Did you locate Pit yet?" She asked grinning hoping for a positive answer from the light goddess.
"We'll I had, but I seemed to have lost him...thanks for barging in Viridi..."
Viridi frowned, "we'll I am sorry I thought these doors look heavier than they are."
"They are heavy..." Dark pit frowned.
"We'll I am a goddess." Viridi said sticking her tongue out at him.
"An annoying one at that." Dark pit answered back.
"Wait did I just hear that right? Pittoo don't insult me I am a goddess!"
Palutena frowned, "guys..."
"My name is dark pit, and I can say what I please!"
"Guys...!"
"Sorry princess...sheesh!" Viridi growled crossing her arms.
Phosphora face palmed, "oh boy…"
Dark Pit stood up and clenched his fist, "I... Am... Not... A...princess!"
He began to charge at her when someone grabbed his toga.
"Let me at her!" Dark pit yelled he swung at the air in rage.
"Calm down Dark Pit we aren't here to start a war...right Viridi." Palutena growled.
Viridi sighed, "She is right, sorry Pittoo."
Dark Pit was about to say something mean back when he noticed the glare Palutena gave him.
"But she called me Pittoo!" He complained.
"Dark Pit..." Palutena growled.
Dark Pit gulped, "ok I am sorry too."
"Now this is what I have learned from the search so far..." Palutena continued.
...Meanwhile...
Pit sat up, his head pounded extreme pain ached throughout his body.
"Hello?" He called into the darkness.
"Hello?" An echo came back.
Pit sighed, must have been just his echo.
"Who are you?" The voice continued.
"Pit..." Pit answered in total shock, so it wasn't his echo.
"Oh well hello Pity Pat!"
"Hades? You were finished!" Pit growled clenching his fist, soon Pit could see a slight light, his eyes adjusted to the dark cave he sat in. It was pretty well lit even though the only light was a small trickle of lava.
"I am in a shadow state." Hades continued. "I can't really die so I go into this state as punishment."
"Punishment?"
"For losing my body."
"Oh," pit frowned, "well where we are?"
A shadow along the wall moved a bit, "by my calculations, the middle of underworld."
Pit growled, "what?!"
He tried to sit up but intense pain surged through him, it seemed to be coming from...
"My wings!" Pit gasped. They were burned and one was torn off completely. The other wing he couldn't feel but from the looks of it was broken.
"Yeah should have mentioned that..." Hades frowned.
"You monster I know you did this!" Pit yelled at the shadow.
"I didn't I swear, this body is totally harmless, see." He demonstrated my trying to touch pit.
Pit shivered as hades hand slipped through him.
"But I promise if you help me get my body back I will give you your wings."
Pit growled, "Never! You would just double cross me, I have faith in Palutena she can help me fix my wings."
Hades chuckled, "you sure, seems to me palutena deserted you...but hey I have an idea!"
Pit rose a brow at the shadow of hades.
"Let's make a deal if Palutena doesn't find you in a week, you will work for me, not only will you have new wings, but also will be totally loyal to me. It's a win, win!"
Pit sighed, trusting hades with a deal like this was risky but-"promise, though hades, don't throw you luck, I have full confidence in my goddess."
Hades turned to go, "I will be back in a week, don't die, and remember, an angel's word is sacred."
Pit watched the shadow of the former ruler of the underworld slither off.
~flashback~
"A broken promise of an angel is punishable by death."
Palutena read from the book she had grabbed of the shelf.
"So remember Pit, an angels word is sacred."
The chibi version of Pit nodded, "yes Lady Palutena!"
~end flashback~
Pit sighed, "Lady Palutena, please hurry."
...At that very moment...
Hades stood before the corpse of medusa, "medusa, rise!" A dark aura surrounded the goddess and soon it spiraled upward, revealing the now alive the one and only medusa.
"Medusa!" Hades greeted. "It's time for a certain angel to join our side, but this will only work with your help." He shouted. Medusa however, didn't seem too pleased. "Yeah, like that's going to happen." She said through clenched teeth. "Just because I don't like Pit, doesn't mean I don't respect him. He's only taking orders from Palutena." "Yes I know," Hades growled. "You've always held back when it comes to fighting him, but that doesn't matter." Hades moved closer to the Dark Goddess. Medusa stepped back, "wh-what are you-?!"
"I need a body in order to get Pity on my side, I need a body to close the underworld. Heh, and YOU are always the first to blame!" Hades shouted. Medusa's snakes hissed at Hades, but he didn't back down. Medusa herself hissed, revealing her sharp fangs. "You will be my servant, and you will fall before that angel. Even if you DO respect him, you are the perfect decoy for ME!" He shouted before charging into Medusa's body. Medusa screamed, but Hades quickly took over. He raised Medusa's hands up to the Underworld entrance.
"It's time that Pity Pat never sees the light again!" Hades spoke through Medusa. A single tear slipped from Medusa's left eye. The Underworld is on total lockdown….
"Now this is what I have learned from search so far..." Palutena continued.
"When I located pit I found out where he was...he is in the center of the underworld."
Everyone gasped and looked at each other.
Viridi stepped forward, "so your saying that it WAS the underworld that was behind this!?"
Palutena didn't look so sure, "maybe, but I am still not positive how he got there-"
"-the rift!" Viridi gasped, "there must have been some kind of after effect of hades death that cause pit to be sent spiraling into the underworld!"
"That could be right." Palutena agreed, gaping at the situation. She hadn't thought of that before, some kind of passage opening up between human realm and the underworld. It was crazy, but the only thing they could go off of.
"Dark pit," palutena said turning to the dark angel grabbing his attention. "Can you get into the underworld?"
Dark pit grinned at this, "to say I can't would be an understatement."
Palutena nodded, "now remember dark pit, this is serious. If you want to get pit don't get caught, because if you do get caught, sneaking in, it could potentially cause another war."
Viridi coughed, "I could send in some back up to help if you'd like-"
Dark pit shook his head, "- no back up unless I am really in need, I think it would be easier to get in alone."
Viridi and palutena smiled sweat dropping.
...Later...
Dark pit sped ahead palutena lent him the three sacred treasures, and Viridi lent him the power of flight.
Soon the entrance of the underworld came into view.
But something felt off about it, just a really strange feeling in his gut.
Dark pit stopped staring at the entrance deeply. "Palutena...you might want to check this out..."
Soon Viridi and palutena had appeared on either side of him.
Viridi turned to him "Why'd you stop-" before she could finish palutena gasped covering her mouth.
"What is it?" Viridi asked turning to the entrance herself.
Dark Pit pointed towards the doors, "they are shut."
"And from my knowledge..." Palutena choked out.
Dark Pit ran at the doors repeatedly hitting the doors this his bow, no luck.
"...they are completely indestructible-"
Dark Pit turned to them, "-and can only be opened and closed by two people."
"Medusa and Hades." The two goddesses finished.
Dark Pit turned to the doors resting his head upon it.
"We'll pit, it's up to you to defeat whomever is holding you in."
Palutena cried, "Please Pit...please defeat the evil."
~in the center of the underworld~
A week had past, it had seemed like time dragged on forever, Pit gulped, as a sudden shiver went through him, he could tell it was Hades. Who forgot that he was a shadow and tried to put his hand on Pits shoulder.
"You're working for me now pity pat."
Pit cried silently into his knees.
"...An angel's word is sacred..."
