Inevitable Love Chapter 2

The room in question surprised Pit because it was not the big "Testament to your ego" type room, in fact one could say it wasn't even a room. What stood in front of Pit was not a dank throne room but instead a lavish green field. The grass was as green as the leaves on the tree which were a deep emerald green. There was vegetation and life as far as the eye could see with animals playing around as If it were late spring and nothing was wrong. "Wow, it's…amazing" Pit stated as he walked lazily though this paradise on Earth. "What is it though" Pit asked quizzically "This, is my throne room however, it doubles as a safe haven for the animals when things on the ground gets terribly bad" She responded proudly yet solemnly. "Wow I just didn't know that something so beautiful could exist on this Earth" Pit told her turning to face her. "So you said that you would tell me what the Hell was going on here, between Lady Palutena suddenly disappearing and then you popping up and then Hades, I don't understand what is happening right now" Pit remarked coming out of his trance-like state from the immense beauty of the garden.

"Where to start" Sighed Viridi knowing that this was going to take the angel some time to get his head around. "This all started about 3 months ago when Palutena contacted me and said she wanted to discuss a few things. I didn't see why she was coming to me but begrudgingly I agreed." Started Viridi feeling like this whole situation should only be a dream. "When we finally met up she told me that there was someone coming for her, looking for something, she wouldn't tell me what it was but it was obvious that this was serious so I just continued listening to her as she told me the details of what was happening. She told me a number of unrelated things and then told me that it would probably be Hades and his army that were coming for her, she told me so that I could tell you when the time was right." Viridi said walking along the garden path with Pit at her heels "Ok, that doesn't explain to me where you came from or rather why it was you who saved me" said a very confused Pit. "There are a couple of reasons, first Palutena gave me the task of protecting you seeing as you are basically her right hand man. And second I am the only other person who can control your power of flight which is one of the reasons that Palutena recruited me for this task, honestly I am lucky that I found you when I did or else you would be a Pit pancake on that cliff right now" Viridi finished while snickering. "So what your telling me is that Lady Palutena is in big trouble and we are just standing here doing nothing" Exclaimed Pit enraged.

"Tell me what you would do if I flew you back up to Skyworld" Viridi asked him coldly. "Well…I would go up there and kick ass" Pit answered looking worried yet somehow sure of himself. "Don't make me laugh, right now, an angel like you could never even DREAM of beating Hades" Viridi answered vehemently in turn. Wincing at the sudden change in her mood, Pit backed off of the topic. "So than, what can we do in all actuality" asked Pit with a sullen look on his face. "Well first we need to train if you want to even have a chance at taking out Hades for good" Viridi said while turning towards a large tree. As the two walked towards the tree they could see someone resting against the tree. As they approached the man Viridi smiled for she knew who he was and why he was here. "Magnus is that you" asks Pit elated to see the mercenary.

Magnus replies in turn with a smile "It's been a while hasn't it kid, I heard you have another problem to deal with and that you needed more training so I volunteered to help" said Magnus relatively proud of himself for being able to help Pit out just like the last time. "Just know that I'm here to train you so I'm not going to go easy on you" Magnus said sternly "Now Magnus remember, you are not supposed to kill him, just train him so that he can hold his own against Hades" Viridi warned him "Yes lady Viridi" responded Magnus apologetically. "Wait a minute "Lady" I thought you didn't believe in all this god stuff" Pit asked Magnus in a patronizing voice. "Look kid, I play to the highest bidder and Viridi offered me a good chunk of money to help you so I suggest you keep your mouth shut if you want my help" Magnus told him with a scorn. "Well I'm just going to leave you alone to get training, because this little kid really needs some" Viridi laughed while walking away "Little kid huh, well at least I'm not a spoiled brat like you" Pit retorted. "WHAT" Viridi screamed "Oh you heard me Bitch" "You are walking on thin ice right now Pit, I would let this go" Magnus warned him. "No, I'm not going to let this go, I'm tired of her always acting like she is better than me just because she is a goddess and I am angel, we have feelings to you know" Replied Pit vehemently.

Apparently Viridi wasn't as tough as she let on because at this point she was on the verge of tears. "Is that…really what you think of me Pit" Viridi asked with a tear stained and horror stricken face. Before he got a chance to answer Viridi went running back the way that they had come in, obviously trying to get to another room in which Pit was not in. Pit started to run after her but Magnus grabbed his shoulder and just shook his head. "At this point we are better off just getting to practicing, when a girl gets this way she just wants to be alone for a little while" Explained Magnus "Not to mention that came from the one person she truly cares about" He muttered under his breath. "Did you say something Magnus" Asked Pit feeling as though he were still left out of something. "It's nothing, let's just start already" responded Magnus with a serious face. And so, for 3 days and 3 nights Pit and Magnus trained non-stop with no interruptions from Viridi as she was still nowhere to be found.
