Octopiing Your Thoughts
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. I also don't own Queen's Blade as that belongs to Hobby Japan.
Summary: A few of the female Smashers decided to come to Skyworld and visit Palutena to see what she's up to given her disappearance for the past few weeks. Apparently Palutena is helping Dark Pit negotiate with demons from other Netherworlds in order to roam around the temple freely. One dangerous demons gets past Dark Pit and ends up going straight to the fire division to spice things up. When Rosalina ends up encountering the demon, things don't go well for her in the slightest. Even if she's a Goddess, there are some things that are out of Rosalina's hands.

This is a request fic for a fellow Smash player in a certain Discord (who I won't name). He wanted tentacle porn with Rosalina and I added some enjoyment given how my OC Pepper is with tentacles. Enjoy! FYI, all the porn will be on AO3. Because there is enough story to where I can easily remove the porn scenes, I decided to post the chapter here too. First chapter is fine because its mainly exposition. All the lewd is in chapter 2 and 3.
Chapter 1: Mass Complication
Palutena rarely allowed others to visit her in Skyworld. Being the Goddess of Light, she had many things to attend to which included keeping the Underworld army under control, making sure the human's were protected in exchange for them worshiping her and keeping her angels out of trouble. When she got accepted as a fighter in the Smash Brothers tournament, she had dumped most of her responsibilities on the Seraph in Celestia just so she could enjoy fighting without a care in the world. She would have to be pulled away every now and then to focus on her duties, but overall Lamington did not mess anything up while she was away.
Palutena returned to Skyworld for a different reason entirely. At first she went back to her duties, but the second Lamington looked away from her, Palutena had decided to invite Rosalina to Skyworld to hang out (and slack off on Goddess duties). She had noticed that the Queen of the Cosmos hasn't been herself recently and wanted to talk to her and cheer her up. To make the "cheering up" part more effective, Palutena decided to invite some of the female Smashers to come to Skyworld. Palutena did just want Peach, Samus, Lucina, Robin and Cory to visit her, but that's not how things panned out. Peach was easy to convince to visit her, but that meant dragging along Zelda (who Palutena was not on good terms with). Samus came along because of Peach (not because she wanted to hang out with Palutena, and that upset the green haired Goddess slightly). Lucina at first was going to reject the offer, but was told she could hang out with Dark Pit if she didn't want to do any of the girly things planned. Robin had teased Lucina for her obvious crush on the dark angel and resulted in Lucina denying any sort of feelings. Robin happily tagged along mainly because she was interested in the angel culture that Pit grew up in.
Cory was the one person who chose not to attend. She needed to do something important and needed to talk to her twin brother Corrin about it. She didn't want anyone besides Cloud involved and refused to have Bayonetta participate in whatever she was doing. For this reason, she had offered her invitation to Bayonetta so she could go to Skyworld. Palutena was not going to be a happy lady when she saw the Umbra Witch getting into Skyworld for free. Pit and the other angels would tremble in her presence.
Bayonetta wasn't in the mood to tease the angels. She was distracted with what Cory was talking to Corrin about. It could have been anything and she could have been worrying over nothing. Palutena preferred Bayonetta being quiet as a mouse instead of being nosy like a cat. The Umbra Witch would probably leave after a full day has passed anyway. Cory only needed one day without Bayonetta next to her brother to be able to get anything done.
Corrin wasn't even important to Palutena. She brought the female Smashers here for the sole sake of cheering Rosalina up. Rosalina wasn't even aware of it. She had arrived first on the Comet Observatory and parked the huge ship right outside the door to heaven. Rosalina had warped out of her ship and in front of Palutena. When she was ready to leave, she would warp herself back into the Comet Observatory and steer the ship away.
The other Smashers needed to be teleported to the first division. Pit wasn't all that pleased with Palutena's decision and suggested the Smashers be summoned from the ninth division portal. The ninth division was specifically called the Human Division for summoning and meeting with humans. While Palutena argued that not all the Smashers were human, Pit's argument still stood that it was too risky for them to be warped right next to her. Pit didn't need to be paranoid of any of the girls except Bayonetta (whom he didn't know was even with the group to begin with). He was just trying to be the cautious.
When Bayonetta was revealed to be in the group, he was livid. Pit tried his best to hide how blue his face turned when the Umbra Witch stepped out of the portal. She specifically came out first because she had tricked Peach into thinking that the portal would be dangerous. If Peach went first and it didn't send her straight to Skyworld, they would be in trouble. Bayonetta was good with handling portals and dimensions and volunteered to go first. She just wanted to see the reaction on Pit's face when she appeared. She was very pleased.
"Oh, I didn't know you were coming." Palutena began. "I was certain I invited Cory."
"I'm subbing in for her." Bayonetta replied rather quickly. "I'm a good friend of hers. You won't mind me lollygagging around here, do you?"
"YES!" Pit screamed. "You kill angels! I don't want you here when you're ready to kill an innocent angel! You're not going anywhere near the tenth division! They're just kids!"
"Pit, calm down." Palutena told Pit in a gentle voice. She was trying to give the air that she wasn't bothered by the Umbra Witch showing up from the portal meant for the other Smashers. Bayonetta could go on an angel killing spree now and make things worse for the Goddess of Light. She didn't want Pit to instigate anything and decided it was best if he calmed down. Pit was just furious in comparison to Dark Pit who was hiding behind his vice captain Arachne and his other retainer Kaguya.
"Calm down?! Lady Palutena, Cereza is going to kill everyone in their sleep! I know that will happen! I can feel it!"
"Nothing like that will happen as long as I keep tabs on her." Palutena stated as she gave a sinister smile to Bayonetta. "But if she stays out of trouble, I won't have to worry about that."
Bayonetta gave an evil smile that rivaled Palutena's. Pit felt the sparks fly between the two and felt it was best to drop the conversation. Dark Pit could only hope that Bayonetta stayed out of trouble. He had other important matters to attend to.
The other Smashers would eventually come out of the portal one by one. Samus was the first one to come out due to the older woman wanting to check things out for the princess. Then when it was clear, Zelda and Peach would appear at the same time. Zelda rolled her eyes seeing Samus assist Peach. She didn't get that help nor did she need it. The last two people to come out were Robin and Lucina. Lucina was last specifically because nerves were getting to her. She thought she was ready to see Dark Pit in Skyworld, but that clearly wasn't the case. Her face was very red and Dark Pit mistook her as being sick.
"Luci!" Dark Pit exclaimed as he forgot that he was scared of Bayonetta a moment ago and charged toward the Ylissean princess. "Took you long enough to come visit!"
Dark Pit simply couldn't say, "I was worried" to the girl he admired. He had to put on a tough front in front of her. Lucina was still red and he decided to address that.
"Are you sick Luci? Is that why you didn't visit when I asked you to?"
"N-No…it's not that…I really was busy…"
Arachne snickered when Dark Pit placed his hand to her forehead before placing it to his. Her face reddened with this gesture.
"No…doesn't seem like anything is wrong…"
"I'm fine Dark Pit…honest…"
Arachne's snickering did not go unnoticed. Dark Pit glared at his vice captain and told her to zip it. Kaguya was fuming at the scene before her.
"Kaguya would make a better girlfriend than Lucina…" Kaguya hissed.
"Hey, don't be like that Kaguya. You're a dignified princess. You can't be showing your jealous side to Li." The spider demon teased as she patted Kaguya on the back. The Mel Fair Land girl pouted as she folded her arms in frustration. She puffed her face like a balloon. If Dark Pit saw that, he would have mistook her for a humanized Jigglypuff. Robin saw that and giggled.
"Lucina, you should be more honest with yourself." The female tactician teased. "Go have fun."
"Robin, please!" Lucina cried. Dark Pit tilted his head in confusion before turning toward Palutena.
"…Dark Pit…you do realize that you have duties to attend to, right?" Palutena started before she saw the puppy dog look in his eyes. She rolled her own eyes annoyed that Dark Pit was capable of mimicking the same expression as Pit. The only difference was he was more convincing since he didn't do this action often. "…Fine…you can take Lucina with you around Skyworld, but please don't forget you got to talk to those demon ambassadors. I don't want any problems just because you're-"
The dark angel was pleased that Palutena approved of him slacking off even if it was for a few hours. Dark Pit wasted no time taking Lucina by the hand and quickly running off with her. He didn't bother to thank Palutena, but that was only because his actions spoke louder than words. Arachne and Kaguya were surprised at how fast the black angel was moving and chased after him.
"Wait! You can't have fun without Kaguya!" Kaguya screeched.
Pit shook his head at the scene before him. Dark Pit was supposed to set an example, but he looked childish in front of the female Smashers. They may have found the scene adorable, but Pit expected professionalism from the younger angel. Maybe later on he would give Dark Pit a stern lecture about how he needed to act in front of the ladies.
"Pit, I have a job for you." Palutena spoke up.
"Anything for you Lady Palutena!" Pit exclaimed as he forced himself to ignore the childish scene Dark Pit made.
Palutena smiled warmly at her angel captain. She could always rely on him to do anything for her.
"Pit, before I can relax, I have some duties to attend with Rosalina. I am only here to greet them, but I need you to guide them around Skyworld as their tour guide."
Pit's expression faltered. His eyes widened in horror as he glanced over to Bayonetta who gave him an evil smirk.
"W-What? Why?! Why do you want me to guide Bayonetta through our home?!" Pit asked in an exasperated tone. "Do you want her to prepare her attack on us angels?! She'll set up portals that lead to the Underworld and slay us all in our sleep!"
"I doubt she's capable of doing that." Samus snarked.
"Don't test me sweetie." Bayonetta teased causing the bounty hunter to roll her eyes. She was certain Bayonetta wouldn't be able to get away with putting demon portals around heaven as long as Palutena was watching.
"You're not going to disobey orders…right Pit?" Palutena asked her angel captain.
"Yes…I mean no!" Pit corrected himself quickly. He wanted to avoid the Umbra Witch like the plague, but Palutena wasn't going to let him. This was a test of patience for Pit.
"Which is it?"
"No, Lady Palutena. I will do whatever you command."
In the back of Pit's mind, he would have wanted to be in Dark Pit's position. As immature as he looked, he at least was able to do what he wanted with the girl he liked and his friends. Pit was stuck with the female Smashers until Palutena was done talking to Rosalina about whatever. He sighed in defeat wondering why Palutena would put him through this hell.
"Oh, can we go to the shopping mall first?" Peach asked in a delighted tone. "I would love to see what is sold here!"
"Evangelion? Really…" Pit grumbled. "If that's the section of Skyworld you want to see first…then who am I to judge?"
The brunette was not going to be happy. Palutena expected Pit to get into the role of a tour guide and spend a little over an hour guiding the female Smashers through Skyworld. Robin would keep him occupied as she would be the one asking the most questions. Zelda and Samus would be taking the scenery around them and Bayonetta would make sure that Pit was miserable when guiding them. As for Peach…she was going to be the one in charge of how eventful the tour would be. Palutena giggled seeing Peach already take Pit by the arm and lead him away despite Pit shouting how he's the one that's in charge. Bayonetta makes a snarky comment about Palutena wanting alone time before following after the two. The other Smashers would be told where to meet after Pit was finished, so there was no way they would miss Palutena and Rosalina.
Once all the Smashers were gone, Palutena headed straight to her chambers. Rosalina was waiting in front of the door to her room. The Goddess of Space was still deep in thought. Worry was the only thing plaguing Palutena's mind. She needed to bring Rosalina back down to earth…even if that's not what the saying is seeing as how the two were in Skyworld.
"It took some time, but I'm ready to talk to you whenever you are." Palutena said happily. "Where do you want to go? It's my treat."
Rosalina noticed that Palutena was in her presence and gave a weak smile. "Thank you for sparing some time to speak with me."
"We're friends! That's what friends are for!" Palutena handwaved. "Besides, you've been down the past couple of weeks. We can play catch up."
"I…know…"
"Hmm…I need to make a quick walk around some of the areas in Skyworld. I know Pit will catch on that he needs to make sure the other angels are patrolling the area, but I want to do it as well. We can walk and talk at the same time."
Rosalina nodded her head slowly. She was willing to go along with anything that Palutena had in mind. The Goddess of Light was pleased that Rosalina would cooperate. The two of them wouldn't be alone, but no one would dare approach Palutena if it looked like she was negotiating with another Goddess. Regardless, Palutena had every intention of getting what was on Rosalina's mind out of her. She wanted to see her calm friend return to the service and not the brooding girl that was out now.
Dark Pit was in a dilemma. While he had full intentions of showing Lucina around Skyworld, he also had his duties to attend to. He could ask Arachne to see to the demon guests for him, but there was no point in one demon handling other demons. He was handpicked by Pit because he specifically could talk to the demons without discriminating against them.
"Dark Pit, you know I wouldn't mind seeing you in action." Lucina told Dark Pit as the fourth Centurion reminded him about meeting the demons outside of his division. "I think I can learn how you handle your diplomatic status."
"Luci, it's rather casual." Dark Pit admitted. "If you act like a demon but are still polite about it, then it's easy to get along with them. I don't understand why it's so hard for Pitstain and the other angels to understand. Demons are no different than us angels. I'm pretty sure the Seraph has stated this multiple times."
"Angels are stubborn." Arachne told him simply. "And so are demons."
"Don't I know it…" Dark Pit muttered. He pondered on doing his job when Lucina was here and finally decided to do it just to look good in front of the future Ylissean princess. "Fine. I'll do it."
Lucina smiled cutely at his decision. Dark Pit blushed and avoided eye contact with her. This was what he was supposed to do anyway if the Smashers didn't visit Palutena.
Dark Pit's division was odd. It was a mirror of Pit's first division minus the Goddess chamber. The inside of his room was obviously different, but the outside had a similar garden to Pit's. Then again, most of the divisions had flower gardens if they weren't using the outside of their division for other things (Isaak keeps so many of his unused machine parts outside for example and Rita grows fruits and vegetables in his garden while Pepper had a barbecue etc.) The outside of Dark Pit's garden was very simple. Black flowers were growing on the bushes. Lucina noted that the black roses were the most common flower. They were hard to find much less grow. They didn't symbolize something positive but Dark Pit had a clear fondness for them. When Himeno refused to grow any black flowers, Dark Pit was forced to do it himself even though Himeno and Rita helped him with the gardening. In the center of the garden would be a portal that leads to the Netherworld. This was where Dark Pit would pick up the demons that needed to visit Skyworld. Dark Pit and his division would then moderate the importance of the demon and if they were dangerous before letting them through if they met the requirements. Demon that chose to fight their way through would find out that they should not mess with Arachne or Kaguya.
Today, Dark Pit was supposed to meet with three diplomats. He didn't remember the name, but he did recall that they were stated to be powerful Overlords of different Netherworlds. Dark Pit would be the judge of that when he visited them.
Only two demons showed up from the portal. Both demons seemed to be generic male demons from the Netherworld: A fighter and a gunner. When Dark Pit thought generic, he meant that in the Netherworld, certain demon species look and act the same with only the name and hair color being different. They ended up being generic mooks as a result unless it concerned their hair color or power level.
"Lived Twilight I assume?" The gunner demon spoke as he and the fighter took a bow. "We are pleased to make your acquaintance."
Kaguya was the only one who returned the bow. Arachne usually folded her arms and observed the demons that came out of the portal. She needed to be weary in case any demon decided to go after Dark Pit. Lucina watched Dark Pit leer at the demons before getting straight to the question.
"Same." Dark Pit answered simply. "I was told there was supposed to be three of you."
The fighter and the gunner looked at each other before chuckling.
"Our friend had fallen ill and could not attend the meeting. He told us to give him his condolence."
Dark Pit rolled his eyes. They could have warned him sooner.
"And what are you two here for?"
Lucina looked toward Arachne with a confused look. Arachne noticed that Lucina had something to say and leaned in toward Lucina. The princess started whispering in her ear. "Arachne, shouldn't Dark Pit ask for their names and the name of their kingdom?"
"Li is being casual. He'll ask when they get inside." Arachne answered.
"Really…that's not really…diplomatic."
"You expect Li to be polite just because he has an important job? You have high expectations of him."
"I heard that Arachne." Dark Pit hissed. "Forgive my vice captain. She's rude, but she won't bite unless you do something to piss her off."
Arachne revealed her hidden eyes from behind her hair bangs causing them to tremble in fear. She was a former assassin but still an assassin at heart. The demons decided to throw away their original plan of an ambush and actually talk with Dark Pit. Arachne was the one demon you did not want to deal with.
"I can't have you two standing near the portal, so I'll show you to my office in my division and we'll talk about your Netherworlds. I will help you in any way I can."
Dark Pit leads the way for the demons. The ladies followed after the dark angel and the demons. Arachne trailed behind the group only because she felt something was amiss. If she stayed a little longer, she would have been able to catch the third demon appear in the demon portal. This demon was waiting for Dark Pit to leave with the other two demons before he decided to escape.
"Good, they were able to obey simple instructions and get that angel away from here. Now I can do what I want…"
The demon was a tall, dark skinned adult male with long black hair and menacing green eyes. He was the type of man that you thought you could trust because of his suave appearance, but he hid a sinister demeanor. For starters, his outfit gave the idea that he was a man of refined tastes. He had a shiny black suit specifically for the ambassador meeting with Dark Pit. However, he had a job to do that didn't involve negotiating with angels. The appearance was enough for him to blend in with the demons that were more common looking that he was. The suit had many gold buttons and a yellow string that was attached on the shoulders that gave the impression that the suit was not only fancy, but military in appearance. Demons were meant to be warriors after all. The demon went by the name of Raphiel. The name was almost identical to one of the archangels, so without context, people would assume that the healer of the archangel was the one that people were referring to. Raphiel was fine with having an identical name as long as he could get the job done. He snickered as he stepped away from the portal and walked in the opposite direction of where Dark Pit's group went. He needed to act quickly before anyone spotted him.
Raphiel's goal was very simple. He was a demon that fed off of his victims like a parasite. Hidden in his clothes were tentacles that could sprout out and infest a victim with fluids that could paralyze whoever he ensnarled. The stronger magic user Raphiel ensnarled, the more energy he could take. While demons were easy targets as well as humans, angels gave him the most energy. Energy was what he took into his body as nutrients to become stronger. He preferred to steal the energy from young girls due to the potential they had, but there was a specific reason he was here. When he heard that Dark Pit was willing to allow demon ambassadors to come to Skyworld for negotiation, Raphiel was quick to get ready for the energy stealing festival. At this point of time, Hades has restored himself back to his original appearance only weaker. He didn't have the power he used to have, and he also wasn't in a position to cause trouble. Dark Pit was giving him a way out of the problems he caused in the past with these demon negotiations. As long as he sent good demons to speak to him, Hades would be in the clear (even if Palutena wasn't exactly thrilled like this). Raphiel was able to convince Hades to be one of the ambassadors despite the fact he had plans of his own. Hades honestly didn't expect a thing. That was the best part of this plan. The other demon ambassadors were willing to work with Raphiel as long as they benefitted from it. Truth be told, Raphiel was only going to use them as pawns. Once he was done with his mission, he would most likely kill those demons before they outed him to Hades. By then, he should have more power than Hades and would be able to defend himself.
While the demon was deciding on who should be his first target, a female could be heard shouting across the hall. The demon's ears twitched as he looked in the direction where the voice was. He walked in the direction of where the voice was coming from. The shouting came from the eighth division. Since the demon came from the fifth division, it wouldn't take long to reach the eighth division. The shouting came from the kitchen. The demon tiptoed near the kitchen to see who was shouting. He was surprised that there were two angels in the kitchen. There was a lack of angels that were supervising the area, and it was probably because of the arguing going on.
It was a male and a female angel arguing with each other in the kitchen. The one that attracted Raphiel's attention was the short dark skinned angel with the silky long black hair and red wings. He assumed she was the chef with how she had a spatula in her hands. The male angel was a tall angel in a fancy green suit and a stylish hat. His wings were more on the dark green side but one could mistake them for devil's wings. The man had pulled his hat down as if he was trying to hide the expression he wore now. The woman had her hands on her hip as if she was trying to prove a point with whatever she just said to him. She turned around hoping to get back to work but the man decided to wrap his arms around her. While she hissed, she didn't exactly push him away.
"It's not going to happen Nebula. I have told you a million times that as long as you don't have the magic needed, you can't do anything with me."
"But I wouldn't mind getting burned for you Pepper."
"Idiot! You say that but the moment your dick is burned, you'll be regretting trying to have sex with me!"
The fire angel was very blunt with her rejection. Nebula was apparently trying to goad her into sex, but there was something that prevented her from saying yes. She clearly wanted to do it too…
"Why can't you trust me? I'm a tough angel. I'm part of the Angel Assembly for a reason."
Pepper didn't respond. Nebula sighed in disappoint as he stopped the embrace. The fire angel could be so distrustful to individuals even though she gave off the impression she trusted everyone. He turned his back toward her and shook his head.
"I'll see you later for dinner tonight." Nebula told her as he began to walk away.
"Don't count on it. The Smashers are here, so I'm going to be cooking up a storm."
Nebula ignored her last statement. He expected her to join her at a specific restaurant in Skyworld despite the fire angel being busy. Pepper snarled at how inconsiderate he was being and waited for Nebula to leave the kitchen and turn the corner in the hallway before her sailor mouth let loose.
"That stupid fucking asshole! How fucking inconsiderate can he get?! Doesn't he know I have more important things to do than please his sorry ass?! For fuck's sake! If he just decided to help me cook, then it wouldn't be a problem! But noooooooo! You have to be like "I'll see you later for dinner tonight!" Fuck that guy…seriously…"
The demon was pleased with her temper tantrum. Angels were supposed to be polite and angelic…right? The fire angel was proving otherwise that she was more like a demon than he was. Pepper would eventually calm down once she prioritized cooking the meal over getting angry at Nebula.
"…Uh…what am I going to do tonight? Uh…I can't let Lady Palutena down…so I'll have to skip out on Nebula's offer. It sucks…he would have paid for my favorite meal without question, but my duty as the cook for the royal bodyguards comes first. What would I do after that? Hmm…maybe I'll write fanfiction…or maybe I should invite Ginger into my room and ask him to play Smash Brothers with me…decisions…decisions…"
She would have continued pondering on her decisions had it not been for the demon accidentally making his presence known. Pepper noticed and grabbed a knife from the kitchen drawer. She threw it as if it was a dagger at the entrance of the kitchen. The demon decided that he didn't want to mess with an angry angel who was alert of his presence now. He would attack her later when her guard was down. Pepper could still be heard snarling at how she hates demons attempting to sneak into the kitchen.
Palutena took Rosalina through Skyworld starting from her temple and then taking her to Lucifer. Skyworld was in an odd star shape that wasn't apparent in Smash. Skyworld had five main sections with her temple being in the center. There were other sections of heaven outside of Skyworld, but Skyworld served as one of the most important locations because it was the place where the Goddess that ruled over the angels lived. Palutena chose Lucifer for two reasons. The first was that Lucifer was the military and sports region of Skyworld. Palutena needed to see which angels were training and who were slacking off. If she caught the slackers, she would personally lecture them. If Pit found out, he might let them off. Palutena needed a good angel army. The Centurions have slacked long enough. The second reason was the sports dome that was in the center of Lucifer. This was where all the sporting events took place from Light versus Dark to racing competitions. The sports dome was normally quiet if there were no events going on (minus the angels training inside). They could sit on the bench and be able to talk without that much interference.
Rosalina was off in her own world. She followed after Palutena whose focus was on the angels that they passed by. Angels made sure to greet their Goddess in some shape or form. Palutena smiled warmly as she waved at him or her. Soon, they would reach the Angel's Sports Dome and sit on the cloudy benches. Rosalina noted that unlike domes made by humans (and the one in Smashopolis), this dome was made to only be outside. As a result, entering the dome would just lead to a small hallway until you saw the battlefield on the other side. The view was nice without the crazy events going on. There was nothing but clouds everywhere Rosalina looked and it was a relaxing sight to see. However, Palutena lead the two here for a reason.
"What's on your mind Rosa?" Palutena asked in a serious voice. "You've been acting weird recently."
Rosalina opened her mouth to speak but then shut it almost instantly. What would she say to Palutena? How would Palutena react if she said she ruined a budding friendship/romance with someone because she went behind her best friend's back and slept with her man?
"I…just had a lot on my mind."
"Oh? I'm all ears."
Palutena was willing to listen. Rosalina probably would have allowed the green haired Goddess in on her insecurities had it not been for the fear of losing her. Alvis was someone Rosalina thought would always be by her side. No matter how many times she messed up in the past, Alvis was willing to stay by her side. What she did destroyed what relationship they had in this timeline. Even if he were to forget by the next timeline, the damage was already done on her end.
"It's nothing important. It's just…work based."
"Why would you be stressed from your job watching over the galaxy? I'm not that stupid. I am a Goddess of Wisdom."
"I know it's just…" Rosalina's voice trailed off. She couldn't say it. The whole point of her accepting Palutena's invention was to talk to her, but this was too much for her to handle. The fact they were out in the open and anyone could hear only added to her anxiety. "Never mind."
"Rosa…" Palutena whined. "You can tell me!"
"…So how are things with you and Ganondorf?" Rosalina asked. She deliberately changed the subject so she wouldn't have to address her romantic woes. "Have you told Zeus and your siblings about your love life yet?"
Palutena took the bait relatively easily. The Goddess of Light looked around her as if expecting someone to catch her doing something immoral.
"Everything is fine." Palutena answered rather quickly. "Zeus is a pain in the ass, but he hasn't done anything out of the ordinary."
"But have you told him?"
"No. Why would I? It's not any of his business."
"…But…you swore to be a Virgin Goddess."
"Those were the days."
"But if your father finds out now, he is not going to be pleased."
"Since when has Daddy ever been pleased?" Palutena asked her in an annoyed voice. "He has his nagging wife to deal along with all the kids he had because he couldn't keep it in his pants. I'm sure I'm the last thing on his mind."
There was some annoyance in her voice. Rosalina was aware that Zeus was a very busy man. By busy, that meant Zeus was busy searching the universe for another woman to sleep with behind Hera's back. If he could do it successfully, a new child would pop up within a month that claimed to be Zeus' child. Palutena was annoyed at this point and just stopped caring. Palutena was the first child of Zeus, so Rosalina felt like Zeus did care about her wellbeing more than his other children. Palutena didn't think that though.
While the two Goddesses were having their discussion, they failed to notice that a demon was spying on them. The main reason they didn't notice or care was because demons were allowed to be in Skyworld because of Dark Pit being the one who communicated with them and gave them a tour of Skyworld. This demon was not part of Dark Pit's group though. He had his own agenda when he snuck away from the group. The demon thought it would be easy to pretend that he got separated from Dark Pit if anyone asked him why he was alone staring at the two beauties in the distance.
His eyes didn't lie though. The demon felt negative energy radiating from the Goddess of Space. While she was chatting softly with her friend, she seemed to be distance from her. The demon licked his lips. Rosalina may have been a powerful Goddess in her own right, but she was in a very vulnerable position right now. What was making her like this? He didn't know and he did want to find out. Those who were troubled were easy prey regardless of their status. By tonight, Rosalina would be his to play with. His biggest obstacle was getting around Palutena. One wrong move and he was a goner. The demon would either have to absorb energy from the angels in Skyworld until he was able to conceal his presence and powers or pretend he was still negotiating with Dark Pit to get close to Rosalina. The latter would take too long and there was no guarantee that Rosalina would stay in Skyworld for long. The Smashers being in Skyworld was only for a short period of time. The demons showing up would only last for a few days. He was better off taking the risk and gathering energy for the rest of the day until he was ready to attack in the evening.
I just need to think of whom my targets will be before I go to her. The demon thought to himself. Now, I could go for Dark Pit, take his energy and make him a hostage, but he has that stupid spider bitch with him. If not for her, the plan would be foolproof. If I go for any other important angel, someone is going to notice. Who is strong here that won't be noticed when they're missing for a few hours?
"Hey you? What are you doing over there?!"
The demon froze at the voice. Someone found him suspicious and attracted attention toward him. Palutena looked in the direction of the voice before ignoring it completely and going back to whatever conversation she and Rosalina was having.
"Uhh…why couldn't you be Ian? Where is that brat?"
The voice belonged to a woman and a charming woman to boot. She was a tall girl with white (or silver; Raphiel could care less about the accuracy of the description) hair tied into a huge braid and brown eyes. Her outfit was rather old fashion, but gave the impression she was a lab rat with how long her tunic was. The odd colors of orange and blue seemed out of place especially since most people that worked in the lab wore white coats. Was she trying to be special or standoutish?
"Hey…you're a demon…are you supposed to be here?" She asked suspiciously.
The girl hadn't caught on yet that he wasn't supposed to be here. As long as he told a half-truth, she wouldn't be able to interrogate him anymore.
"I am supposed to be here." The demon spoke. "My name is Raphiel and I was one of the demon diplomats that was supposed to meet Livid Twilight. Unfortunately, I got separated from my colleagues and ended up wandering around Skyworld for quite some time. People have yet to question a lone demon walking around Skyworld alone. If people knew my heritage, perhaps they would have warned the angel authorities."
"…So you were supposed t be on Dark Pit's tour…" The girl murmured to herself.
"That is correct. If I could find a way back to Livid, then I would be able to explain to him what happened. Do you know where he is?"
"I think so." The tall girl began. "I know Captain Pit is moving clockwise around Skyworld…so Dark Pit should be giving the tour in the opposite direction." She put her chin on her knuckles and started thinking. "Hmm…"
"Will you help a lost demon?" Raphiel asked innocently. "I would like to meet the man who promised to speak with me."
"Yeah…I don't see the problem with that. Maybe I'll find that slacker Ian if I help you."
"I appreciate your kindness to a demon like me."
"Don't mention it. My name is Fuyumi by the way."
Raphiel could care less about her name and more where she was intending to take him. Lucifer had a lot of menacing angels as well as Palutena carefully watching the area. What would be the one area where Palutena would not use her powers at?
"Do you have an idea on where Livid could be?"
"Knowing him, he might go to Sandalphon despite what Captain Pit told him. He doesn't listen and would explain why the place is bad for angels but good for demons."
"Oh…will you take me there?"
Fuyumi did not really want to do that. Sandalphon was a dangerous place and Pit had advised all angels to be weary when they approached the area. It was not a good mentality to have due to many angels in that section of Skyworld needing help, but Palutena had engraved in Pit and many angels' heads that the angels from Sandalphon are beyond help at this point if they were the angels that worshipped Medusa over Palutena.
"I don't know…" Fuyumi mumbled. "It's quite dangerous. I think we'll be better off waiting for Dark Pit instead of going there…"
"That won't do." Raphiel stated as he grabbed her arm. Fuyumi was surprised at the sudden action and would have thrown the demon over her shoulder had he not been looking at her straight in the eyes. "I need you to obey me right now."
Fuyumi's body froze in place because she kept staring into the demon's eyes. Her brown eyes lost its color almost instantly. She opened her mouth trying to say something, but nothing came out. Raphiel needed to act quickly. He was risking using his powers in front of many angels. Technically, it looked like Fuyumi was trying to leave the demon alone but the demon needed her for something. It only looked odd…but if he made a false move, he would attract the attention of the Goddesses.
"Repeat after me. Fuyumi will take Raphiel to Sandalphon."
"…Fuyumi will…take Raphiel to Sandalphon."
That was the simplest command he could give her without it sounding suspicious. He would have added Master just to get kinky, but he needed to do that when they were alone. Raphiel licked his lips. The first victim of the day was right in front of him. Her boobs were huge along with being a tall girl. All he needed to do was get her into an isolated area and take her energy. If Sandalphon was an isolated place with angels, it would be easy to gather energy. He just needed to be careful.
"Good. Lead the way."
Me: TBC with 7531 words.
Li: Why would I let a dangerous demon like that slide?
Me: Because you have Lucina. Notes!
1. I decided to keep Corrin out of my story simply because I feel like he would end up stealing the spotlight from Palutena and Rosalina. Bayonetta is alone to avoid shipping her in the story even if that is the implied pairing. Cory would have gone but want her out of my tentacle problems.
2. The OC in this story was requested by the same person who requested the fic. I told him the guidelines needed to have an OC in my story that isn't mine and he gave me the description. I tried my best to describe it without taking up much room. Hopefully I did him justice. And yes, because I have an archangel named Raphael, I needed to bring it up.
3. Palutena's temple is indeed made with a clockwork image in mind with the first division at the very top (instead of twelve) and then going clockwise. Every division has its theme too and sometimes its modern themed depending on the angel element.
That's it. Reviews are appreciated. Ja ne!
