Okay then. Just because I could… I put up the second chapter within an hour. It was already written and all that, just needed formatting…
So yeah.
"We've been summoned." The words came from his dark twin.
Pit looked over at the boy that was him, yet wasn't. "Yeah," he agreed, absent-mindedly fluttering his wings and having them collide with Dark Pit's as he did the same thing. Dark Pit chuckled as they disentangled their feathers. "We should probably go then. Stop laughing at me, Pittoo!" These last words wiped the cheeky smirk of Dark Pit's face, and he stood up, towering over the still-sitting Pit menacingly. "Don't call me that," he breathed, his voice even scarier now that it was quiet.
"Sorry! It just of...slipped out."
Dark Pit huffed, then let it slide and leaped up into the chariot, pulling on his brother's arm to get him up. "Come on, we haven't got all day!" He seized the reins, directing the two unicorns, Phos and Lux, into the sky. "Where are we going again?"
It was Pit's turn to chuckle as he took the reins from his dark twin. "I know the way. Pay attention!" So saying, he took the Lightning Chariot past Palutena's temple, past all the parts of Skyworld that Dark Pit knew. After a few more seconds, (because the Lightning Chariot is just that fast) a new set of islands came into view.
"Welcome," said Pit, a huge smile spreading across his face, "to Angel Island!"
"Angel Island, huh? Never heard of it," Dark Pit said as the Lightning Chariot touched down in a small pasture with a couple of other unicorns.
"It's a well-kept secret," laughed Pit, as the two boys started unhooking Phos and Lux from their harnesses. They dashed off to the little stream as soon as they were free, and drank to their hearts' content. The brothers watched and chuckled together for a second, and then composed themselves as they began the walk to the temple on the island.
"HALT!" An angel fell out of the sky to land in front of them, on the steps leading to the temple. He pointed a lance at Dark Pit, as more of the angels surrounded the boys, threatening with swords, bows, claws and staffs. Everyone stood in perfect stillness and silence, kept in balance, with no-one moving.
It was shattered by one angel. A small, beautiful boy with soft blond hair leaped at Dark Pit, trying to catch a shadowy wing on the tip of his sword. And then it just devolved into brawling. The brothers were unarmed, having been relaxing on the surface as they had been before their summons, but they still put up quite a fight.
But, inevitably, with so many opponents, both boys ended up pinned to the ground with weapons above throats. Pit had a huge red mark across his face that would develop into a massive purple bruise. Dark Pit had a large barbed dagger in the tip of one wing, his face filled with pain as he struggled against the sword at his throat to try and dislodge the sharp point from his flesh and feathers.
At a signal, the angels with swords to throats drew back their arms, ready to impale the brothers. Pit closed his eyes first; Dark Pit continued to glare at the angels pinning him down, only closing his eyes as the sword began to fall.
"ENOUGH!" The shout rang down the steps, and the angels instantly disengaged. Dark Pit opened his eyes to see a beautiful female angel descend with wings outstretched, with long dark hair that trailed behind her and spectacular green eyes. He couldn't speak - but then, maybe that was the dagger in his wing. She knelt beside him, breaking off the tip of the barbed blade and slipping it out. "I'm sorry," she said as she helped him to his feet, "my angels are a little over-zealous sometimes." She gave Pit a swift hug, and then turned around, admonishing the angels who stood at the side-lines looking guilty. "These angels are my guests. I don't know what two unarmed angels could do, and they'd be idiotic to try, but it is not your place to decide who is a threat. Do I make myself understood?" A small chorus of assent met her question. "Good. Dismissed." The angels all ran off, or in some cases took off, in various directions, going back to whatever they were doing before. "Now then. To business?" Pit asked.
"To business," the female angel replied with a grin. "Follow me."
