Babystace2k10 – Well another chapter!

Pit – Finally…

Babystace2k10 – Something wrong?

Pit – Nothing!

Babystace2k10 – Yep something bad happens in this one!

Pit – Why me?

The city of Atlantis was a sight to behold. It was mainly underwater and the merpeople of the realm swam around constantly. Pit and Penile managed to get into the city unharmed and they made it towards the temple which was located at the centre of the city. Standing at the entrance were two mer guards, each covered in silver armour, noticing the two angels, they blocked the entrance with their spears,

"Who goes near the temple?" asked one of the guards.

"It is I, Pit, captain of Palutena's forces" replied Pit, wings behind his back

"And I'm Penile, second in command to Palutena's forces" said Penile, hiding behind Pit. The guards immediately stood upright, and bowed,

"Well excuse us, you can pass" said the guard

"Come on Penile" said Pit before both angels run into the temple.

The temple was very small and had seaweed peppered on the walls. All that was in the temple was two pedestals, one like a book and the other housing a glowing red and white object. Penile read the book pedestal

'When one touches the treasure shall be turned into a creature of sorrow' the inscription read

"That sounds really weird" Penile said before realising that Pit went too close to the object, "Don't go too close Pit!" she screamed. Pit checked the object. It was a sphere with red on the top and white on the bottom with a black band around the middle. A white jewel is stuck in the centre.

"I wonder what it does" said Pit curiously before reaching out to touch the statue. As if on cue, Penile made a dash for Pit screaming "Don't do this!" both of them caught their hands on the statue and were bathed in a strange light.

"PITTT!" screamed Penile

A few hours later, Pit and Penile were at an unknown place. They were lying on a beach of some sort and it was covered in shells. Pit woke up only to see Penile looking very different. She was a bird with brown and white feathers and a long crest tipped in red and huge talons with black claws. Pit got up and trotted towards the water. He screamed. His body was bird like. He had a long crest down his back which was yellow and pink and he had black markings around his eyes. He had large pink clawed feet and huge light brown and cream wings,

"What happened?" he muttered.

"You really shouldn't have touched that object" replied Penile angrily, who was already on her feet and stretching her wings, red eyes focused on Pit,

"I'm really sorry about this…" moaned Pit
