Prologue - End of Peace
Beach City would continue to be what many would consider a peaceful place. Plenty of friendly people, stores all around, pizza to order, the works. What kept the city safe was a group of warriors who sought to defend the Earth against the Gems of Homeworld - the Crystal Gems.
Things were all going well enough, until reports began to spread that an unrecognised threat went around terrorising the humans. They were not Gems of any kind, and could only be described as monsters.
Some described one as a giant eye floating around the city and destroying things, and one that resembled that of a sea creature with crossbones on its head. Perhaps the most frightening to the humans was one which would make a horrifying shriek upon sight of anyone and chase them for their... souls. With a scythe.
So far, no casualties. But this had made the inhabitants of Beach City retreat to shelter and live in fear. Nobody had the courage to go out and try to fight for their city back.
In a place far beyond the clouds, a young angel spent several minutes preparing himself for battle. He had heard from the goddess he served that the Underworld Army had found a new target. And not even in the same world as the one they fought to save for eons.
"The Underworld Army has been attacking innocent humans in what seems to be a parallel Earth. Pit, you must go and investigate what is happening, and fight to save them." Grabbing a gold bow, then adjusting his laurel crown, the cherub made his way towards the gates leading to the outside of the temple.
"Uh... right away, Lady Palutena! What does she mean? Parallel Earth?"
Feeling a short burst of energy in his wings, Pit began to hover in the sky at high speed, ready to attack any Underworld monsters that would come his way.
"I must warn you, this will be a very bumpy ride."
Oh, no. This could not be good. Immediately, the angel felt himself speeding up massively, to the point where he had tunnel vision.
"W-WHOOOOOOA!"
It felt as if the angel had just awakened from a dream, although his head throbbed and he felt dizzy. Below him was what appeared to be Earth from the edge of space. Palutena lead him towards the worst-affected area - Beach City.
"How did that space ride feel, Pit?" The goddess giggled at Pit's reaction before he had been warped.
"Nnnrgh... my head."
"Aw, don't be such a downer. It must have been exhilarating! Now, prepare to land." Pit would groan once more, then he would fly straight down at high speed again, finding himself in quite a nice looking city. However... it was infested with Underworld forces. Now it was time to get serious.
