Hi guys! ElementalGoddess-san1 here! This is my first story I've written for Kid Icarus so I hope you enjoy! The story is a huge change up to the video game but I hope that it's good enough. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own Kid Icarus and its characters.
"Alondra, I'd like you to meet your new friend. Pit." Mama said. I look up to see a boy with bright blue eyes and chocolate brown hair. He looks down at me letting out a bright smile just right for his personality.
"Hi Princess!" ,said the boy.
I blink thinking how a boy can have such an expression when he hardly knows me. Mama looks right through me giving me the look to respond.
"H- hello, Pit." I murmur.
The boy laughs shyly, but his expression says he was nervous. What a strange boy, I think to myself. Mama catches me staring and breaks my stare at the boy by clearing her throat and telling Pit she has to take care of some things. She tells Pit to take care of me and tells me to behave myself. Mama is always busy with work because she has to take care of our home, the Sky World.
I look up to Pit and he catches my glance and smiles. "Come on, I have something to show you." He grabs my hand and his back takes on wings. I knew it. Mama found another body guard to take care of me. They are all the same, pretending to be nice to me just to get close to Mama and our home. That's why Mama always finds another body guard for me constantly; I don't get along with them on purpose to protect Mama and try my best to stay with Mama every day. Why can't I just stay with Mama? Am I a burden to her? Ever since Papa left to fight in the war Mama had left me to someone else. But why?
I frown at Pit holding my hand. He sees and asks what was wrong but I ignore, pretending I didn't hear him. We fly to a meadow and Pit puts me down on a bed of pink carnations and soft yellow daffodils. I sit down and quietly lay with the flowers and he sits down with a crown of flowers, roses. My eyes widen in delight. Roses have always been my favorite for some reason. It's the only thing that reminds me of Papa when he gave me a white rose for my first birthday, the day before he left to fight the bad people. I grasp the crown of perfectly ringed flowers in my hand and close my eyes tightly holding back the tears. Pit smiles lightly and stroke my head. He got up and told me to wait here that he was going to bring me a gift. He flew past the trees and all grew silent. I think I might be comfortable with Pit, I don't think he wants to hurt Mama or our home. I sigh as the thought of Papa comes up in my head again and sleep on the bed of flowers, waiting for Pit to return.
I wake up in pain to see Medusa pulling my hair up to the point I was hanging in the air. I cried out in pain. I remember Mama telling the Centurions that Medusa was planning an attack and that. "Everyone must be aware." I looked up at Medusa's crimson red eyes. They were horrifying. Mama and Medusa are sisters. They are nothing alike. Mama is loving and beautiful and loved by the people of Sky World but Medusa is ferociously evil and scary who is feared by the people of Sky World. I wanted Mama, I wanted Papa to come home- I wanted Pit to come and save me…
As if Medusa was reading my mind she gave a sly smile and reached for my face. My eyes widened with fright until suddenly Pit came out of nowhere between me and Medusa with an immediate kick to her stomach. She gasped for air and let me go. I fell into Pit's arms and we were suddenly flying. We landed on a tree branch and I felt my legs shaking. Pit still held me and I began to cry.
"Hey, don't cry." he said. "It's ok." I was barely recovering from the anxiety of wanting Mama until there was a loud cracking and the tree branch was rocking. I look ahead to see Medusa to see Medusa had found us. She was even more frightening than before. Her hair had become live with snakes and she was taller and bony. Her skin was a pale skin tone. I felt like death had come to get me. In her hand she helpd a long, silver, powerful staff with black stones and purple and red jewels. She grinned evilly and brought up her hand like last time. Pit yelled out "Get down!" and I immediately did hearing a 'wooooosh' sound and realized that Pit had taken a marble feather- a dagger from his wings and thrown them at Medusa. She flinched for a second and Pit grabbed hold of me and jumped off the branch. He began to run at an extreme pace and flapped his wings furiously unlit we were in the air again. I was panicking. Why was she coming after us? We landed at the fountain shaped like Mama between the gateway of our home and the Cliff of the Fallen when we catch a glimpse of Medusa sneaking out of the bushes like a predator. She had a snicker and I felt like a rabbit trapped by a hyena. Pit hid me behind him with a defensive stance and the more she came closer the more our backs were against the gateway.
"Step aside, runt." Medusa said with a sneer.
"No. Leave or you'll never see the end of Lady Palutena." Said Pit under a growl.
"Oh, little dove, you don't understand who is stronger here, don't you?" she responded with a creepy smile.
I do, and it isn't you!" Pit murmured.
Fine. I guess I'm just going to have to show you" she said. She held up her staff and a red light seeped out but was interrupted by a voice.
"MEDUSA, STOP! LEAVE MY DAUGHTER AND HER GUARDIAN ALONE!"
It was Mama! She came to find us! She appeared out of a warm golden light and she was in her silver and gold armor, her special crown was different now and a bow and arrows was strapped to her back. She held a staff too that resembled Medusa's except Mama's was golden with blue and jade green gems.
"Leave them alone, Medusa. I'm your opponent." Mama said.
"Oh, sister, you think you're that special?" Medusa mocked. "No, no you are not. It's THIS one I need."
I felt an invisible rope wrap around me and pull me to Medusa's side. The more I struggled to break free the more it tightened.
"Sister, do you know why I need this girl?" Medusa asked. Mama glared at Medusa through her eyelashes. "Yes, sister, unfortunately for you, you are not needed, it's your daughter. She as you probably already know is special, and by special I mean the Elemental Princess, sister." What is Medusa talking about? What's an Elemental Princess? " With the use of her I can destroy and recreate that Father made, a measley world in my opinion-" Medusa was interrupted by Mama.
"Yes, yes a world Father had worked so hard to create!" Mama cried out.
"NO! YOUR FATHER! He was never there for me. It was always Palutena this and Palutena that, and 'Oh, Medusa, you should be more like your sister.' You have ruined my life!" Suddenly a pitch black miasma shot out of Medusa's staff. Mama dodged quickly.
"MAMA!" I screamed in terror.
Somehow the invisible rope had ceased and I fell to the marble floor hard. My vision was blurred and I could see Mama and Medusa fighting. Pitch black miasma vs. light. Pit had come to me, whispering to me to stay calm then I heard Mama shout.
"LOOK OUT!"
Pit had been hit by Medusa's miasma and was thrown at the fountain.
"PIT!" I screamed.
"…."
Medusa's face was inches from mine. Her breath smelled like death and I felt her bony, cold fingers gripping me tightly and I was off the ground again. She had me hanging off the Cliff of the Fallen. I looked down in horror to see a never ending sky of clouds below me. The sky had become a dark grey and I could tell this was Medusa's doing. Her crimson eyes glowed in the dim light.
"Palutena, either you hand me the Celestial Necklace or watch your daughter perish!" Medusa bellowed.
I looked down to see Mama, hidden horror in her eyes. From the corner of my eye I could see Pit slowly getting up.
"A-Alondra." He mumbled.
"Pit. Help me…" I whispered. Pit stumbled to his feet. " Medusa…Leave her alone."
"Medusa, you don't have to do this!" Mama screamed.
"YES I CAN AND I WILL UNLESS YOU HAND ME THE NECLACE!"
I looked to Pit and he grimaced as he was held back my Mama. I felt myself falling and I heard Mama scream, "WAIT, TAKE IT! TAKE IT BUT LEAVE MY DAUGHTER ALONE!" A bright light appeared out of Mama's palm and a long silver necklace with a blue crystal shimmered out. I remembered this necklace. It was a gift from my grandpapa when I was born. It was the only thing that I remembered of my birth. It was a trinket that allowed me to remember a vague picture of Papa and the only time I've seen Grandpapa who was only a figure with a warm shimmering surrounding him. This was the only thing that I valued of my long lost family and it was going into the hands of Medusa….
"NOOOO!" I cried out. I can't let Medusa have it. It's mine! I felt a warmth rushing in my body and I could hear Medusa scream in pain. She had let go of me and I was falling…I was falling.
"Alondra!"
Pit had grabbed hold of me and flew me to the safety of the gate. What happened to me. Was it me or Mama, or Pit? Pit was looking at me weirdly. His face was screwed into confusion. I should be the one confused here. Pit sighed. "I thought I lost you there." He laughed weakly.
Medusa was getting up, cursing under her breath. "Wretched girl… how dare you." Her lips pulled back into a snarl and I realized the necklace was gone. I went into a panic and Pit whispered, "Don't worry, your mother has it." I felt a weight lift off my chest and suddenly Medusa screamed.
"YOU WRETCHED LITTLE BRAT!"
Medusa attacked me with a red powerful light and the ground under me crumbled into bits and this time I was really falling.
"ALONDRA!"
What…was…happening? I could see my home getting smaller and smaller as I slowly realized what I was going through… Am I never going to see them again? Then I could see a figure falling down faster than me. Pit. I blinked, flustered. What is he doing?
"Alondra!" He was suddenly inches closer to me. "Alondra, I can't help you this time, he said, but I promise I will come for you! Keep this with you." He opened my clenched hands put a golden bracelet and on the end a pearl colored feather hung. Pit's feather… "This is a gift from me. Don't forget about me while I'm gone! Kay?" He was hiding sorrow underneath his smile.
"You're leaving me?"
"Of course not. Look, by keeping this with you, he said, holding the necklace to me, I'll always be there."
"Pit."
"Don't worry. I'll come for you…."
Pit was slowly blurring out then a light encompassed him and he was gone, then there was a moment when I was alone, falling down, down, down then there was a warm light and I had gone into a deep sleep.
I wake up to the sound of an annoying alarm. I groan lazily as I realize it's a school day. I glance at the clock and realize it's 7:45. Oh no, not again. "LATE AGAIN!" I rush out of bed and quickly put on my school clothes and don't even get a chance to fix my hair. I run down stairs and grab toast from the kitchen table. Mom was making breakfast and Dad was reading his daily newspaper.
"Gotta go! See you later!"
"Hey, hey, hey sport why you going so fast." Dad says from behind his newspaper.
"Alondra, you're leaving without a proper breakfast again!" Mom says.
"Sorry, Mom! I'll pick up a doughnut on the way to school."
"Ok. Bye, honey!"
I shut the front door behind me and make a run for it. Jeez, this is the fourth time I overslept. I take a look at my watch and it said 7:50. I grumble under my breath. Well, at least the school is on my block.
I make it just in time, panting as security guard John closes the gates behind me. He chuckles, "So close, again Miss Santiago."
"Yeah, I know. Sorry, John."
"Just get to class."
I make it in time to my first class, Geometry, and sit in my seat, Mr. Verbinski, sat in his desk in front of me sorting papers. I sigh, scolding myself for always being so lazy. I overhear a group of girls behind me gossiping.
"Oh my god, did you hear about the new transfer student?"
"Oh, yeah I did. I heard he is so gorgeous that even the senior girls are all over him."
A girl giggles. "Well, not for long. He'll be mine this fast." I here her snap her fingers." Oh I know that voice so well it disgusts me. Michelle Scotts, school queen, idol and a guys dream come true. I don't understand why, all i see is a girl with an overloaded pile of makeup and a way different personality once you really get to know her. The bell rings and Mr. Verbinski hollers over the students to get to their seats. A crillexed finger nail taps me on the shoulder and am not surprised to see who, Michelle.
"So hey, Alondra, can I borrow your homework for a sec?"
"Again, Michelle?"
"Oh come on, just once more!" She begs.
I sigh. "Fine."
"Yay! Thanks!"
Mr. Verbinski starts his lesson and I blank out again. I fiddle with my bracelet, a golden plated bracelet with a snow white feather. I'm not exactly sure how I got it, all I know is that Mom nor Dad gave it to me, I'm adopted, and I had it before I was taken in by Mom and Dad. Before I knew it the bell had wrung and I got up. I was the last one out and when I had opened the door I hit something or someone. I look to see I had hit a boy.
"Oh, God, I'm sorry! I didn't see you there!" Ugh, this is so embarrassing.
"Oh, he chuckled as he got up, it's OK, I was the one in the way."
He got up to my level and I could see his face. My eyes widened, stunned.
