Mika: Happy 2018! After a month's break, I finally feel ready to take on the sequel to my previous story…right as my next college semester starts! Apparently, I can only write under extreme pressure and stress, heh.

Viridi: At least you're finally doing something besides sleeping.

Mika: True. To any of my reviewers who have stuck around, I really want to say thank you! Your support helped me finish the first story and is the reason why I'm writing this sequel. On that note, if there are any new readers, I highly suggest you read the first story, Kid Icarus: Adversary first. Also, I'm going to give a bit of a warning for future chapters. This story will use mild language, and includes a few scenes discussing certain topics that some may find uncomfortable. I will give another warning when those chapters go up, but I figured I'd let you guys know beforehand. With all of that being said, time for the disclaimer!

Pit: Mika doesn't own any of the Kid Icarus characters, except for her OC.

Mika: Thanks Pit! Here's the first chapter of Kid Icarus: Awakening!

Chapter 1: The Lone Angel

Skyworld had never been so quiet. Usually, the heavenly realm was bustling with energy. Angels would fly whenever they pleased, and their conversations were always pleasant. Now, everything felt empty. After all communications to the Human Realm were cut, the angels had nothing to do. Pit understood very well why this happened, though. Still, even though it's been a few months, the lone angel couldn't find the answers he was desperately searching for.

During the gruesome battle between Palutena and Medusa, Pit heard the Goddess of Darkness say something that would haunt him. "You told me that you would take care of him…" Medusa spoke quietly. Palutena looked at her sister. "Instead, you abandoned him…just like you abandoned me!" Pit shook his head in despair. What did Medusa's cryptic words mean? He had tried on numerous occasions to contact the Goddess of Darkness, but all he received was silence. Pit yelped when an arrow narrowly missed his head. "Next time you zone out, I'll make sure that arrow hits."

Dark Pit had grown tired of his twin's constant daydreaming. "Why don't you just ask Palutena?" Pit sighed, "I don't think that's a good idea." The last time he was in contact with the Goddess of Light was when they were fighting against one another. Dark Pit rolled his eyes, "Yeah, well it's better than just sitting here and doing nothing." Pit knew his counterpart was right. He had to at least try.

Both Palutena and Pit were uncomfortable when the angel entered her Temple. "Palutena…" Pit attempted to greet her. "Hello, Pit." The Goddess of Light spoke softly. She held a yearning look in her eyes. "What do you want?" Pit nervously looked up at her. "I've been wanting to ask you… Back when you and Medusa were, um, fighting…what was Medusa talking about?" Palutena looked away from her former servant, and any form of gentleness in her voice was gone. "That is none of your business." Pit didn't back down, "Palutena, please, I need to know…" The Goddess of Light interrupted him, "Enough!" The Temple was silent for a long moment, both angel and Goddess staring at each other.

Palutena sighed, "I can't tell you, Pit. However, if you really want to find some answers, go to Viridi." Pit blinked in surprise. "Viridi? How would she know about the past?" The Goddess of Light didn't answer. The lone angel's wings drooped as he reluctantly left her Temple. Dark Pit was practicing his targeting with the clouds outside. "Any luck?" Pit shook his head, "Palutena just told me to ask Viridi, but I don't know how she could help." The dark angel rolled his eyes, "You know, I'd rather have you singing that annoying song of yours instead of seeing you moping around. Just go to Viridi so I won't have to drag you around all day."

Pit watched his twin leave him without looking back. With no other option, Pit tried to contact Viridi. A few moments passed with no answers, until a sudden bolt of lightning nearly struck him. The angel yelped and looked around to find a familiar face smiling back. "Yes, you called?"

"Phosphora? Where's Viridi?" Pit asked. Phosphora rolled her eyes playfully, "Nice to see you too, cutie. Mistress Viridi was busy taking care of her 'children', so she sent me to find you. So, what's gotten you so down?" Pit wasn't sure about telling the lightning Commander, but reluctantly gave in. "I know that Palutena and Medusa have been hiding something. I can't help but feel that what they're hiding is about me." Phosphora hummed, "Well, I do know that Mistress Viridi can look into someone's heritage."

The angel tilted his head in confusion, "Heritage?" The lightning Commander sighed, "Never mind, Mistress Viridi will explain that to you when we go to her Temple. She should be ready to pull us out of here very soon." Sure enough, the two were surrounded by a nurturing light, and a godly force carried them away from Skyworld.

Pit just hoped that maybe Viridi could help him find the answers.

Mika: I hope you guys enjoyed the first chapter, even if it's a little short! Feel free to leave a review!
