Hello again everyone! Since the first chapter was just a prologue, I decided to do the next chapter soon.

First of all, thanks a bunch to Sicomba and kirbystarwarrior for being the first to review. I thank you both and hope I don't disappoint. As for your review kirbystarwarrior, yeah the Prologue is kind of short, but it was kind of supposed to be. Most chapters will be longer.

Also, as a note, here are some points about the format:

Italics means a characters' personal thoughts

Bold and Italics refers to quotes using telepathy (like with Palutena)

As usual, I own nothing except any OC's I come with, of which I have a few.

Chapter 1: An Ordinary Day

In Skyworld

Dark Pit could say that he found Skyworld to be a tolerable place to live, perhaps even comfortable if you got him on a good day. It was pretty much a step up from all the other places he had been to, and he actually had enjoyable moments from time to time.

This wasn't one of those moments.

"Again today I will go soaring through the sky! My enemies I'll dish 'em up in a stir-fry!"

Dark Pit grumbled in frustration as he waited outside the bathroom with a towel in hand. It was well into the morning now and he as well as Pit had just finished up some training with the Centurions. Unfortunately for him, Pit made it to the bathroom first, causing Dark Pit to wait through his off-key singing.

"Gracious goddess of light, watches from up above! At dinner time, I always show the cook some love!"

"BLAST IT PIT-STAIN! STOP SINGING!" roared Dark Pit. Right as he said that, he heard fumbling, followed by falling, and was then followed by crashing and moaning. He smiled at the last part. A little bit later, the door opened, revealing a fully-clothed Pit, his messy and still-wet hair covered with a towel.

"Why'd you have to go and do that Pittoo?" questioned Pit. Dark Pit glared at him at mention of the nickname.

"How many times do I have to tell you to stop calling me that? In addition, your singing was annoying." he deadpanned at Pit.

"Ouch, that's harsh." said Pit, who walked out and allowed Dark Pit to have his turn.

A little while later

"You seem to be more exhausted than usual nowadays." commented Dark Pit. He and Pit were walking through Palutena's temple after their events in the shower.

"Yeah, Lady Palutena is really pushing me on the Centurions." said Pit, not too fond of it himself.

"Why is that?"

"Well, remember when Lady Palutena considering opening up a boot camp for the Centurions?" started Pit. Dark Pit nodded at his question. "Well, now she's taken it to heart, and she's having me try to toughen them up by any means necessary. It's really exhausting."

"You know, you could just not do it." suggested Dark Pit. Pit immediately shook his head.

"No way! I'm honored to do this for Lady Palutena. I can take a little exhaustion." said Pit, smiling as he flexed his arms. Dark Pit just rolled his eyes.

Since the war with Hades, Pit had continued his job as the captain of Palutena's guard. Of course, nowadays it seemed like he had more things on his schedule than ever. There was the rebuilding of Palutena's temple from the events with the Chaos Kin, which had taken a considerable amount of time and muscle, but they finally got it done recently.

Not only that, Pit also at times had to rendezvous with the Goddess of Nature, Viridi. Since the war, Pit and Palutena had more dealings with Viridi, and Pit was more often than not the go-between for them. By now, Pit considered Viridi to be a close friend, despite the young goddess' prickly demeanor. By this time, Viridi actually had her Reset Bomb Depots all rebuilt, which increased their watch on her, although she promised them that she wouldn't drop any more unless for good reason. Pit came to view Viridi as a really good person despite her attitude, which more often than not caused her to lash out at him with whatever was within arm's reach.

However, Pit hadn't met with Viridi for the past 6 months or so. Nobody knew what the young goddess was up to. Dark Pit, who sometimes stayed at her sanctuary, hadn't even gone there in some time.

Dark Pit for the most part wandered around after losing his ability to fly on his own. Despite this, he refused to serve anyone, as it wasn't in his nature. However, he generally had the Lightning Chariot to get around, since no one else really required it, although it took some convincing with Phosphora to do it.

In addition to all of this, both of the Pits had grown slightly. It was barely more than an inch or so though, although it was more than enough for celebration from Pit.

"You know, if you're that much against it, I have a new song." offered Pit.

"Sigh, fine." Dark Pit groaned. By the time Pit was clearing his throat, he already regretted it, because Pit was already beginning to dance to it.

"I'm too sexy for my shirt, too sexy for my…."

"HELL NO!"

(LINE BREAK)

"Haah! Ho! Hi-ya!"

Pit was practicing in the training room, using a regular fortune bow to practice with. During the war, Pit used a variety of weapons, but he still preferred his trusty bow. He kept his Sacred Bow of Palutena ready for any missions he had.

Speaking of which…

"Pit! Pit come in!"

"Ah, Lady Palutena!" Pit cried out, hearing her telepathic message.

"Pit, I need you to come see me as soon as you can."

"Be there in a flash, Lady Palutena!" Pit saluted. Putting the fortune bow away, Pit ran out of the room, making his way towards the central hall where Palutena awaited him. Knowing his way around, Pit found the room easily, finding Palutena in said room. He ran over to her, falling on one knee and bowing. Dark Pit had apparently been called in too as he was there as well.

"Now Pit, you know by now that's not necessary." smiled Palutena.

"I know, but it's a sign of my respect for you." Pit defended himself.

"Well, that aside, I have a task for you." As she said that, Pit immediately stood straight up like a soldier awaiting a command.

"Yes ma'am!" Pit chirped out, making Dark Pit roll his eyes.

"Recently, I've noticed that the Underworld Army has been acting a little strange." Palutena started.

"Aren't they always strange?" Dark Pit shrugged.

"Maybe, but their recent behavior is unusual. The Underworld Army has been clustering in one area for a while now. I thought it would dissipate by now, but it hasn't. I wonder if it could be the work of the new leader of the Underworld." said Palutena with some worry.

Pit gave her a confused look. After Hades' defeat, he had heard nothing about how the Underworld was being handled.

"New leader?" Pit asked.

"Yes. Think of it this way Pit, there will always be something to command the Underworld Army. I've heard of its new leader, but haven't seen her face-to-face." Palutena explained. The mention of a "her" caught Pit's attention.

"The new leader is a girl?" asked Pit.

"Yes, someone they call the "Fell Warrior". Whoever she is, she must be formidable to command the army." explained Palutena. Pit gave her a curt nod.

"Understood. So you need me to investigate?" he inquired.

"Naturally. It's been a while since your last mission. This will be a good way to lose that extra fat you've been accumulating over the past 2 years." laughed Palutena.

"Hey, I'm not chubby. Have you seen these muscles? These sacred buns?" Pit flexed his muscles every which way, including the "sacred buns".

"There's something I wish I could erase from my memory." deadpanned Dark Pit. Palutena giggled a bit before reaching her hand out, a warm light coming out of it and forming into the Sacred Bow of Palutena.

"You'll be needing this. I imagine you know where the door is?" she asked.

"Yep, no problem!" cried Pit as he grabbed his bow. With a salute, Pit was on his feet and running towards the door in the back of the room.

"It's been a while since I've used the Power of Flight. Hope I'm not rusty." Palutena said to Dark Pit.

"Well, the fuel economy is as terrible as ever." he smirked at her.

Ignoring what they were saying, Pit ran up towards the door, wings spread out wide. At his approach, the doors opened, and Pit jumped out, launching himself into the sky as he felt the familiar Power of Flight through his wings.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, but Pit is back!"

(END)

And there's Chapter 1 folks! Pit has received his mission and he's on his way, but what awaits him with the Underworld Army? We'll have to find out soon enough.

Now, for a new character bio, this time on the Goddess of Light herself:

*****Palutena*****

Age: 22 in appearance

Appearance: Exactly the same as Uprising. Not much to change.

Japanese seiyu: Aya Hisagawa

English VA: Ali Hillis

Bio: Palutena has remained virtually the same since the war. The only major difference is that she has invested more in trying to train the Centurions, mostly at Pit's expense.

*****End bio*****

As always, feel free to read and review, and I'll see you next chapter. Sentinel07, out!
