The Kawaii Angel Captain!
Chapter 1: Welcoming Party
Author's Notes
I bring to you another story. This will be posted on the Smash archive, due to the fact that people barely even go near the Kid Icarus archive. On here and on AO3. Normally, a story like this would follow the Original Characters, however, I don't consider them such due to the fact that I haven't even written up bios for them, therefore I haven't really had time to create them. The motivation for this hit me out of nowhere, so I must start now, or I feel this idea will go dry. I hope you all enjoy.
Today was no ordinary day. Today was the day that the heavens, more specifically Skyworld, would be terribly busy.
Why?
Because today was the day where angels had finally reappeared to be recruited in Palutena's army. The main hall was filled with many angels, waiting to be trained by the Goddess. The angels chattered loudly amongst thrmselves until they heard footsteps down the corridor. All of them hurried to get into lines, only to be greeted by an angel. They all stared incredulously, some of their faces twisting with disgust.
"Why is that angel there?!"
"He's just like the rest of us!"
"Get in line damn it!"
"You'll anger Her Holiness!"
The angels shouted at him, and he sighed, a smile gracing his lips.
"Eh? This generation of angels is really rowdy, Lady Palutena!" He said loudly, and the other angels gasped as the Goddess herself stepped from behind him. A stern look crossed her soft featutes and she gripped her staff tightly.
"I can see that Pit, however, the fact that they're already disrespecting their Captain...it is something I cannot take lightly." She turned to the crowd of angels and stared angrily, something very contradictory to her usual demeanor.
"This is your first day here. I expect you all to know this from now," she gestured for Pit to step forward. "This is your Captain. His name is Pit. I ask that you respect him, if not for him, for me. If you are unsure as to why I speak of him so highly, I will explain our history."
"A while ago, I was caught in Medusa's clutches. I had many angels in my army. However, all of them had fallen victim to her power, and were turned to stone. The only survivor was Pit, because he was flightless. So, doing his best, he traveled all the way from the Underworld and to Skyworld, just to save me, and as you can see, he has succeeded. And very recently, he had defeated the God of the Underworld, Hades. I assure you, as flightless as he may be, he is a very capable Captain, and I expect all of you to trust him, as well as give him the utmost respect." She smiled at him, which he returned, grateful and embarrassed. He stepped up as she stepped back.
"Listen up! I want to get you all into shape as soon as possible! It will not be easy, but it must be done! Our sole mission is to protect the Goddess of Light, and it will require great effort. I expect the greatest of all you, aside from looks, origins, or rank! None of these matter when Her Holiness' life could be threatened at any second!" He smiled widely. "And despite being your Captain, I wish for all of us to get along! I wish for you to not only see me as a Captain, but as a friend." Cheers emanated from the group of angels, everyone glad to have such caring leaders.
All except for one. The scowl on his face only deepened as he stared at Pit, anger boiling deep within him. No longer able to contain his emotions, he shoved through the crowds of angels, making his way to lit and jabbing him with a finger.
"I challenge you to a duel, weakling! I cannot stand to see that a flightless angel, pretty much a chicken, has been made Palutena's army Captain! We will fight in the courtyard right now! If I defeat you, which will quite obviously happen, I will assume the role of Captain in Palutena's Army, and I will make sure you are reduced to a measly centurion!" Gasps echoed through the corridor. The angel, Ganymede, grinned at him smugly.
Taking time to look at Pit, his eyes wandered, taking in his physique. Not too much muscle, quite thin, curved hips. Staring at his face, he began to notice how round and small it was. His bright blue eyes were large, and his cheeks were round.
Overall, his appearance was very contradictory to his position.
This is going to be easy.
The two of them stood face to face in the Courtyard. Palutena was seated in her viewing seat, smiling happily as the two prepared to fight each other.
"I will give you a warning, Captain. I do not intend to go easy." Pit only smiled at him, his tone dropping as he spoke.
"Neither do I." He turned to the other angels. "Let this all be a lesson to you." He turned to Ganymede. "Not only for challenging me so informally, yet for your brazenness to take my position when it is your first day. In front of the Goddess as well!" Ganymede grunted, materializing his sword, a very large one.
'Its probably in the club class...'
"Bring forth your weapon Captain. Or are you worried that you'll lose?" Pit smiled as he raised his hand up, a bow materializing. However, he pulled it apart, spinning the blades with a finesse that could only be acquired by years of training. Sticking the pieces together again, he stared expectantly. Palutena hit her staff against the ground three times.
"Begin!"
Ganymede stared expectantly at Pit, waiting for him to take the first move. Without hesitation, Pit pulled back his fingers, as if shooting a bow.
"Are you foolish? Trying to shoot something that's not there?!" Pit only grinned as a light erupted as his fingers moved in a releasing motion. A bow shot through the air at great speed, yet curved over Ganymede's head. Running forward, Pit began to talk, an authoritive voice in place of his cheery one.
"Rules when fighting! Don't be afraid to make the first move!" He rolled under Ganymede before staying airborne, pulling the bow apart and slashing Ganymede's back. Ganymede stumbled, and Pit continued to speak.
"Also! Don't bother fighting when you don't have a good stance! It'll leave holes in your defense, which cuts down your chance of winning! Don't stop moving because you got hit! And finally..." He grinned as he pushed into Ganymede, shoving him back a bit.
"Pay attention to your surroundings!" Ganymede's eyes widened as he heard the whizzing of the light arrow behind him. It pierced through him deeply and slowly before passing through him and bursting into a shimmer of light. He grunted and fell on one knee, gasping for air, his wings shaking.
'Those superior skills...that finesse...the flawlessness and perfect execution...' standing up, he rushed over to Pit, dropping to his knees.
"TRAIN ME CAPTAIN! PLEASE! I'M SORRY FOR STEPPING OUT OF LINE! JUST TEACH ME!" Pit scratched his head at the begging.
"I'm teaching everyone...and stand up. I may be your Captain, but don't bow to me. Bow to Lady Palutena. I'm as much of an angel as you are!" He smiled at him, extending his hand. Ganymede stood up, shaking his blue hair out of his face, brown eyes wide and cheeks red.
"Y-Yea..."
"That...and you looked kinda strange doing that, considering your above 6 feet."
It was now nighttime in Skyworld, stars taking up the sky. All angels had been assigned to their bedding arrangements. However, a light shined deeper within the temple, coming directly from the Goddess' room.
"Pit, you did wonderful today." Palutena said softly, opening her arms for her little angel to hug her.
"Thank you Lady Palutena! Anything for you!" He smiled, and she smiled, rubbing his head.
"I guess I could give you back to Dark Pit now. He'll probably be upset." She murmured, the ends of her mouth twitching upwards. Pit only stared at her in confusion. She only ushered him off her bed.
"Now get to sleep. You know the Captain has to be up an hour earlier than early." He nodded knowingly hurrying down the hallway and closing her door.
"Pit! I forgot to tell you something!" She called from her room, and he immediatrly turned around. Peeking through her door with his big blue eyes, he listened.
"After the 2 hour training regime, I'll be sending you on a mission. All the trainees will be watching too, so please be a role model." He nodded.
"Lady Palutena...when will they get to meet BuraPit?"
"In due time. Now hurry along, we've got a big day ahead of us!"
Omake#1
"Welcome to the Omake section! You can ask questions, put us in scenarios, even submit OCs Here to meet Lady Palutena!" Pit said happily, smiling all the while as he spoke.
"Why do these things even have to exist? I'm not wasting my time here."
"But BuraPit! C'mon, its not that bad!" The angel pouted, big blue eyes shimmering with tears. He blushed, and groaned.
"F-Fine! Just remember you owe me for this!"
"Oh! Nevermind! Its already over!"
"Ugh! Damn you Pitstain!"
I hope you all like this chapter. The next one will be out soon. I want you to know that OCs are accepted under the condition that:
-They are not romantically involved with Pit, Dark Pit, Granymede, or Palutena.
-They are not cliche or too overpowered.
That is all the requirements. I ask that you all bear with this story, as well as enjoy it. More characters will show up too, as well as Smash characters since this is Smash fan fiction. Also ask questions for the omakes as well, and give them to any character you wish, as long as that character has made an appearance. Unless they haven't, your question will be put on hold.
I hope you review, follow, favorite, and read.
