CHAPTER 2: Stranger From the Sky?
This is Chapter 2 of The Angels and Fairies! Hope you enjoy!
Pit's POV: Third Person
"Hey, Pittoo!" Pit shouted through his laurels.
"What?" An irritated voice answered. It was Pit's twin, Dark Pit. "And Don't call me that!"
"Lady Palutena said that Medusa has been revived, so we need to find her and stop her!"
There was a groan from Dark Pit's end as he appeared next to Pit.
"Tell me why I'm needed again?" He asked Pit, shaking his head as they activated the power of Flight.
"Lady Palutena says that she's more powerful than ever!"
Pit replied, somehow cheerfully for the topic they were discussing.
Suddenly, a burst of Black Magic nearly wrenched the two angels out of the air.
"I think we found her." Pit said as they swooped down.
Medusa was wreaking havoc on a local skyworld town.
Medusa!" Pit shouted as they landed near her, boys pointed at her heart.
"Hello, Pitty-poo." She said in a mock sing-song voice, aiming at then with another burst of black magic. Pit managed to dodge, but Dark Pit was knocked off his feet.
"Pittoo!" Pit shouted, dodging another attack.
Dark Pit shakily got up.
"I'm fine, worry about her!" He exclaimed as Medusa aimed at not Pit, but him. It hit Dark Pit straight in the chest and he was knocked out.
"Tsk, Tsk." Medusa said as she used magic to tie op Pit, causing him to fall on his knees.
"What should I do with the two of you?"
She walked over to Dark Pit and snapped his laurels in half.
"No one to help you now, Fallen Angel!"
She opened up a portal next to her.
"Time to die, little FLY!" She exclaimed as she threw Dark Pit headfirst into the portal.
"PITTOO!" Pit yelled, but it was hopeless.
Now, Medusa walked over to him.
"Now, what should I kill you with? Mabe-"
But she didn't have time to finish because Pit had driven the Palutena Bow threw her chest. She dissolved into hearts, which Pit collected.
"I'm glad she's taken care of," He said sadly, picking up Dark Pit's broken Laurels. "What happened to Dark Pit?"
Lilith's POV :
I felt stranger than usual… the demon inside felt stronger as ever. Probably because I fed it candy. No matter.
"I'll be at the lake practicing!" I yelled, to make sure the others heard so they weren't worried about me. I walked through the back doors, and onto the docks that lead out into the lake. I noticed something strange about the sky, but shook off the feeling and I got into an ice spell stance, I was going to summon my ice serpent, Hebi, and then I smiled, forgetting I was wearing less layers of clothing than before, I was in very short shorts and a tank top. I looked over to Hebi and waved over to him. He was turning the lake into a skating rink. "Hebi… what are you doing? You're freezing the lake!" I exclaimed. Hebi let out a disgruntled huff. "Fine… have it your way…" I sat down on a heap of snow, not feeling the cold and watching Hebi do his thing. Then I looked up to the sky. There was a star that was flickering like crazy. "What…?" I muttered confused. 'It's just a dying star…. No worries….it will be reborn soon enough' I thought to myself. And then my thoughts turned over to the newcomer, still having a strange feeling about her.
Ayumi's POV :
"Hey, Lilith! I called as I went down to join her at the lake.
"Hey." She said as I sat down in the snow right next to her.
"Aren't you cold?" She asked me.
"I told you, I grew up in the coldest village in the world! I don't really get cold."
She chuckled. "Nice."
"Say, what's wrong with the sky?" I asked suddenly, looking up.
The star I had seen Lilith looking at earlier seemed to be getting bigger and bigger. I didn't seem to be a star, either. I gasped as soon as I saw what it was, mere seconds before It fell into the lake.
I ran over and pulled a teenage boy out of the water.
The ice serpent growled, disgruntled, most likely because the fallen stranger broke his ice sculpture of himself.
I looked the boy over. He had untidy black hair and a black tunic that was patterned with gold.
He seemed to be hurt. He had cuts and scrapes all over his body, and his ankle had broken when he his the Ice sculpture. He back seemed to be burnt.
"What should we do?" I asked Lilith.
"Bring him to the master." She suggested.
I nodded and slung the boy on my back.
"You sure you can carry him?" She asked me.
"I'm stronger than I look."
I replied walking to the door.
Lilith pulled open the door and shouted, "Master!"
"What?" Master Makarov asked, but he stopped when I brought in the boy.
"Set him on the table!" He yelled, and Team Natsu moved so I could set him down.
"Where did you find him?" The master asked me as he looked over the boy's wounds.
"Lilith and I were by the river when he just seemed to fall out of the sky." I told him.
He used a spell to heal the minor wounds, and bandaged up the boy's broken ankle.
"Take him to the infirmary." Master ordered us, and we obliged.
Lilith's POV :
As I watched Ayumi bring in the stranger from the sky, I just stopped and I thought. 'Why are we helping him? Who the heck is he? More of...What is he?'
"I know you have your doubts," Ayumi said, surprising me. "But he would have drowned if we had left him. And no one, no matter how bad, deserves to be left to die." I looked down. "I guess you're right…" I mumbled and started helping Team Natsu patch him up.
I sigh as I watch the others fix up the stranger. Lucy noticed I backed away and asked, "Are you alright Lilith?"
I didn't answer, I just stared at the ground. The others finished patching him up and I walked back outside, without a word and I did a spell that had ridden all of the ice I had created, including Hebi. 'Whoever or whatever he is… he can't be trusted… if the others trust him and I'm the only one left…. Oh well… I'm not letting my friends get hurt ever again.' I sternly thought to myself. I sent Drake back into the room where the stranger is.
Ayumi's POV:
I could tell that Lilith had doubts, but I knew that she would get over them. After all, any relative of Pit isn't gonna be bad. It's impossible.
As I thought this, the boy woke up. I noticed his eyes were the color of Red Wine-not a normal color. But then again, I'm not one to talk.
"Where am I?" He asked. He sounded a bit like Pit.
"The Kingdom of Fiore, in the town of Magnolia." I told him as Team Natsu cleared out and the Ice Dragon that Lilith made flew in.
"What happened?"
"Hard to explain." I told him."You sort of fell out of the sky last night. The Master fixed any minor injuries you had, but your left ankle is broken."
He looked at me as if he recognized me, but couldn't place me.
"Anyway, you must be hungry. What's your name?
"Kasai." He told me.
"What do you want? Master says that you should stay in here for a while."
He shrugged. "Whatever."
I went down to get him something. As soon as I went into the guild hall, Lilith approached me.
"You were quite eager to talk to him...why?" She asked me.
"Can you keep a secret?" I asked, and she nodded.
"I know his brother, and I recognize him. He's not from here. I knew him from my old village."
"Wait a second...you know this guy?! I thought you said you were the only survivor of the demon's attack!"
"He and his brother used to visit." I answered. "In fact, He happened to visit a day after the attack. He saw me burying my parents, searching my ruined house…"
Tears started to form in my eyes, but I blinked them away.
"His brother was heartbroken, as was he. They had made many friends in the village, regardless of how cold it is. Problem is, his protector, Miss Palutena, saw it fit to not come back. I haven't seen him in Nine years."
Lilith looked to the side. "I'm sorry…." She walked off, and I got Kasai some food.
He healed very quickly. In fact, he was back on his feet the next morning. Makes sense, seeing as to what he is…
Lilith's POV:
'Today is a really day…' I thought to myself, hoping it would distract me from what's going on. I noticed Erza, Lucy, Natsu and Gray were in my room and I got up. "What are you guys doing here?" I said, already knowing why they are in my room. "Well duh we're starting a job!" Natsu said obnoxiously. I smiled and I started to prep for the job. "What are we doing this time?" I asked, hoping it was something harder than usual.
"This guy is paying loads of jewels for whoever gets rid of this curse on an island." Lucy said cheerfully. I smiled as I put on my scarf and I walked next to Gray and the rest of the team onto wherever we needed to go, completely forgetting about the newcomers.
SKYWORLD
"Lady Palutena?" Pit asked through his laurels.
"Yes?" The Goddesses' voice rang in his head.
"What do you think happened to Pittoo?" Pit questioned the goddess sadly.
"I don't know, Pit." Lady Palutena answered. "All I can see is that he landed somewhere in EarthLand."
"Earthland? Isn't Ayumi there?"
Lady Palutena gasped. "You're right, Pit!" Maybe I can communicate with her-send her a note!"
"That'd be great! I hope she found Pittoo!" Pit exclaimed happily. "I hope Ayumi gets it!"
"So do I, Pit." Lady Palutena said hopefully.
"So do I."
