BGM: Solo Menu – Palutena (Kid Icarus: Uprising)
"I'm telling ya, it's crazy!" A centurion said. "Medusa's invading Skyworld again!"
"Oh, don't be so dramatic. She hasn't invaded Skyworld!" Another said as he flew up on the lookout post. "Yo, anything interesting?"
"Well… there's one."
"And that would be?"
"Take a look."
The Centurion grabbed the binoculars and took a look. "Let's see… Centurions relaxing in a hot spring… Ruby grabbing an apple off of a tree… Zwei chasing his tail…"
"You're looking down! Look up!"
"Some centurions flying around, a female Centurion dumping a guy… I knew that relationship wouldn't last, that centurion was a bit of a moron anyway."
"Agh! I owe that other centurion ten hearts now!"
"See what you get for betting?"
"Oh bite me!"
"Oh, for the love of Skyworld!" He forced him to look up a little more. "Look at THAT."
"O-Oh my…"
"What is it?"
"Take a look."
The other centurion took the binoculars and his eyes widened. "Get Lady Palutena. NOW."
A minute later…
"What's the commotion?" Palutena asked.
"Take a look."
Palutena looked through the binoculars. "That one Centurion is crying… did that girl break up with him? I knew it wouldn't last long." She turned to the other Centurion. "You owe that one Centurion ten hearts."
"Ugh, thanks for rubbing salt in the wound…"
Palutena chuckled. "Let's see… Weiss practicing with her Orbitars…" She looked up. "Underworld Army invading Skywo-" She gasped. "Oh no…"
"And it's worse. Look further."
Palutena gasped again. "We need to get Pit and RWBY to take that commander down… NOW! Put Skyworld on high alert!"
"Right!"
Later…
"Hurry, you guys!" Palutena said as they were getting ready.
"What's the situation? You started cooking vegetables again and they turned alive again?" Pit asked.
Palutena sighed. "ONE time… but no."
"They cancelled Skyworld's Got Talent?"
"No."
Pit paled up. "Bayonetta found Skyworld?"
"Who's Bayonetta?" Yang asked.
"A witch who kills angels…" Pit whimpered.
"WHAT?!" Ruby yelled. "Oh, I am NOT going to let her kill you!"
"No, not Bayonetta… thankfully. Skyworld's being invaded by the Underworld army!"
"What?!" All of them exclaimed as Pit's Power of Flight has been activated.
"Alright, let's go!" Pit said as they took off.

BGM: Heads of the Hewdraw (Kid Icarus: Uprising)
"So you mean to tell us that Medusa's forces are invading Skyworld?!" Blake asked, as they took down a few Syrens and Nevermores.
"She must be getting back at us for taking down Dark Lord Gaol." Pit said.
"Medusa's venom knows no bounds. But I know that all of you can stop her Underworld Army and the Grimm."
"You sure have a lot of faith in us, Lady Palutena."
They proceeded to take down tons of forces such as Monoeyes, Miks, Syrens, Specknoses, a Komayto and several Nevermores, as Pit suddenly unleashed a flurry of arrows, taking down several of the forces. "Whoa!" Yang exclaimed.
"Ah, I love Special Attacks!" Pit smiled as they kept going at it as they saw a Belunka and a few Coral flying by. "Don't these guys ever get tired?"
"At this rate, the power of flight is going to expire before they do." Palutena said.
"No worries, I'll catch him if he falls!" Ruby said.
"Aww, thanks!" Pit smiled. "But before we let that happen, we should go after the commander."
"There's just one thing you should know. Their commander is Hewdraw."
Pit's eyes widened in surprise. "Hewdraw?" He suddenly brought out a notepad and pencil, scribbling down what Hewdraw looked like originally and showing off his decent drawing skills. "Like this guy?"
"Why does he look pixilated?" Weiss asked.
"It's a long story, but yes, it's like him… oh, and speak of the devil, there he is!" Palutena said as they looked to see a flying creature in the distance. It was too far to see what it was, but it was most likely the Hewdraw.
"He can fly?!" Pit exclaimed in shock.
"I think the only one who can't fly by himself is you. I'd say the same about RWBY, but… they're currently flying on the Stars."
"Ouch, that's harsh…"
"Don't sulk, Pit! It's undignified!" Palutena teased. "But you're right, attacking the leader is a good plan."
"Let's do it!" Yang exclaimed as they flew forward, taking down the forces as they slowly made towards Hewdraw while taking down more enemies… and then they absorbed some Health Orbs for their troubles, and then… they began to circle around Hewdraw, now seeing that he was three headed serpent of sorts.
"Hello there!"
"It's snack time!"
"Mmm, what tender little morsels!"
"We are NOT pieces of meat!" Pit protested.
"Yeah!" Ruby nodded.
"What'd you say?"
"Technically you are."
"Just come a little closer!"
Yang smirked. "Get ready, it's time for-"
"TOTAL ANNIHILATION/BONE CRUSHING DESTRUCTION/FACE-STOMPING CARNAGE!" They all yelled at the same time.
Three.
Two.
One.
"It was MY turn to have the last word!"
"Oh, give it a rest."
"Let's not argue in front of company."
"Cram a sock in it, foot face!"
"I'm soooo sick of you."
"Me?! What did I do?!"
"Knock it off already!"
"YOU knock it off!"
"I can't believe this is my life."
"Can we go home and watch TV?"
"Would everyone just shut it?!"
"Someone put me out of my misery."
"Did I mention I'm starving?"
"And you think we're not?!"
All five of them sweatdropped. "Awkward…" Yang said.
"You said it." Blake said.
"Soooo… Now what?" Pit asked.
"This is never going to end. Just go ahead and attack…"
"EVERYONE! SHUT UP AND FOCUS!" All three heads yelled as they attacked with lasers and fire breath and attempting to chomp on them, but they quickly dodged all of the attacks as they managed to take out two heads and the right one remained.
"Gah! The other heads! You have no right!"
"Acutally, I'd say that YOU have no right!" Yang exclaimed. "Eh? Get it? …Guys?"
Pit groaned. "That… was terrible." Now I'm glad I didn't say it.
"You said it." Weiss said.
"Alright, that's it... you're going down… mostly for that terrible pun!"
"What is it with tough crowds?" Yang wondered as the remaining head attempted to give it all he had… but unfortunately, without his two brothers… things went down really fast and was defeated.
"Aaaugh!" He cried before falling down and then exploded.
"Ha ha! Victory!" Ruby exclaimed.
"Not so fast, Hewdraw heads can live without a body. You'd better follow them!" Palutena said.
"…You're joking, right?" Weiss asked as they flew down, as they noticed the Underworld forces are retreating along with some Nevermores as well.
"Sweet, they're retreating!" Yang exclaimed as they proceeded to take them down.
"So, mission accomplished, right?" Pit asked.
"Far from it, those two Hewdraw heads are still alive. They've plunged into the human world below and taken their legion with them!"
"Well, in that case, we better do something!" Ruby said, unleashing a powerful charged shot from her Star that knocked out several Nevermores and Wave Anglers, and then they went down to the ground.
"Do you guys see them?" Blake asked.
"Nope." Weiss said.
"Nada." Yang said.
"Hmm?" Ruby noticed movement in the corner of her eye as she turned to see the two heads bouncing around in town. "Guys!"
Pit turned around. "Oh, this is bad!" He said as they picked up the pace, taking down the forces.
"You know, for a pair of disembodied heads, they sure move fast." Palutena said as they soon hovered above the town.
"I don't see the Hewdraw heads anywhere! Where'd they go?!" Pit asked.
"Don't lose YOUR head too, Pit."
Ruby giggled. "Not sure if that was a pun, but that was pretty good!"
Palutena smiled. "Thanks."
"Traitor…" Yang grumbled.
"We'll split up!" Pit said. "Me, Ruby and Yang will check one end and Weiss and Blake will check another."
"Sounds good." Weiss said as they dispersed and landed.

BGM: That Burning Town (Kid Icarus: Uprising)
"Okay, the good news is that the people have gone into hiding, but where did those heads go?" Blake wondered.
"They could be anywhere, you need to stop them before they wreak even more havoc!"
"You know, I wonder what the name of this town is?" Weiss wondered.
"I'm looking into it and… huh… never thought they'd go there."
"What is it?" Blake asked.
"That Burning Town."
Both of them anime fell from this. "It's like they were asking for it or something!" Weiss exclaimed.
"Don't tell Weiss, but that's actually not the real name, I just made it up."
"Wait, what?" Blake asked.
"That's right, I came up with the name myself, same with That First Town. I didn't check for the real name because I thought it would be fun to make up names. Pretty creative if I say so myself."
Blake sweatdropped at this. "Is that really the only reason?"
"Well that and I didn't really feel like it. And again, don't tell Weiss."
"...I'll keep that in mind..."
"Did you say something?" Weiss asked.
"No!" Blake quickly said as they got back up and they took down some Gyrazers, Commylooses and a Souflee.
"What was with the flying cake thing…?" Blake asked.
"Oh, that was a Souflee. They're a sweet enemy… but… not very tasty."
"What do you mean by that?" Weiss asked.
"Well…"
A few weeks earlier…
"Alright, My Souflee desert is ready~!" Palutena exclaimed.
"…Uh, you sure it's ready?" Falco asked.
"Yes, I'm pretty sure."
"Well… who's going to go first…?" Zelda asked.
"Oh please, it can't be that bad." Link said as he, Dedede and Pit took a bite… and their faces went green.
Back in the present…
"…Leeet's just say it gave Pit, Dedede and Link bad food poisoning and they stayed in the medical ward for a few days."
"…I'm not even going to ask." Weiss said as they walked forward, taking down several enemies and Grimm, but as they went up the stairs, they were greeted with a few Komaytos.
"Just a heads up, you have to use melee attacks to take down the Komaytos." Palutena said.
Blake sharpened her Belladonna blades. "This would probably be the part for Yang to say 'This is going to be sweet.'" She said as she ran forward and slashed through them, but one of them slowly made its way to her, only for Weiss to quickly get rid of it with Myrtenaster before putting it away. "Thanks."
"You're welcome." Weiss smiled as they walked one way… only for Weiss to fall. "AAAAH!" She yelled, only to spring back up. "WHOOOOOA!"
THUD!
"Ow…" Weiss groaned. "What just happened…?"
"Oh, that was a jump pad. It looks like you can't go forward so you have to go the other way."
"You could've warned us!"
"To be fair, I didn't know that was there."
They kept walking as they spotted a Monolith, but soon realized that it was invincible, so they left it alone and they kept going as they took down some Shemums in the process as they jumped off some jump pads as Blake grabbed a Grenade as they soon landed where they encountered a Minos and a pot that popped out a few Shemums. Blake threw the grenade as it destroyed all of them. "Huh, that came in handy."
"Whoa!" Weiss exclaimed. "Where'd you find that?"
"Found it on a little building as we were jumping off the jump pads."
"…I should've known." Weiss muttered as they spotted a key as they took it and they walked forward where they felt rumbling.
"Watch out!" Palutena warned as a Hewdraw head went hopping by and crushed a Creep and a Beowolf that was attempting to attack them.
"That came out of nowhere!" Weiss exclaimed.
"You're going to need help against surprise attacks like that. Go to the courtyard ahead and I'll give you something that might help."
"That would be a good idea." Blake said, but as they walked forward, a Merenguy popped up and they unwillingly looked at it.
"I can't take my eyes off this guy… WHY?!" Weiss asked.
"That's a Merenguy. It had bewitching dance moves that grabs people's attention… very unwillingly, I might add." Palutena said as Weiss and Blake took the thing out in annoyance as they also took down a Fire Wyrm in the process, then they walked to the courtyard, using the key to unlock the door as they walked in.
"Alright, we're ready with whatever you have for us." Blake said.
"Alright then!" Palutena said… and suddenly, a pink mist surrounded them… mostly on Weiss.
Pause BGM
"Um… what just happened?" Weiss asked… and then a Hewdraw head landed in front of them.
"ROOOOAR!"
BGM: Rowdy Charge Tank (Kirby Air Ride)
"AAAAH!" Both girls screamed.
"Do you like the gift? It's my patented monster pheromone! Monsters just looove the smell of it… and now it's all over Weiss!"
"WHAT?! ARE YOU INSANE?!" Weiss screamed.
"Why hellooooo, humans!" The Hewdraw head as he proceeded to charge them, but every time he got a sniff of Weiss, he kept turning and trying to get a quick meal, but he would always either chomp down on ice, a fellow Underworld minion or a Grimm.
"GET! AWAY! FROM! ME!" Weiss screamed as she quickly ran off as the Hewdraw Head while Blake just stood there, watching the whole scene unfold as she was scratching her head while also looking quite perplexed about the situation.
"Luckily, the pheromone only attracted one of the heads. I was wondering what you would've done if both of them had shown up."
"Aaaand you still went through with it?" Blake asked. "Weiss is about to become lunch!"
"Despite my winsomeness and equanimity, I do have a strong streak of rapscality!"
"THAT DOESN'T HELP AT ALL!" Weiss screamed. She was really starting to question of Palutena really was a goddess.
"I never noticed this before, but you have a certain je ne sais quoi."
"Wh-what does that mean?" Weiss asked.
"It's French for I'M GONNA EAT YOU!"
"…Alright, I can't watch this anymore." Blake said as she ran forward and unleashed a charged shot that caught the head's attention when it saw the clone as he charged forward, and then Blake quickly slashed through the head several times before the head roared in agony before disappearing.

Resume That Burning Town BGM
"C-Could've… done… that… a long… time… ago…" Weiss fell over and panted like crazy.
"You know, I don't think I'll be using the monster pheromone for a while."
"You… better… not…"
"What I mean to say is that I don't NEED to use it. The others contacted me and said they're closing in on the Hewdraw… and they made quite a mess too."
"I'd believe it." Blake said as Weiss got back up. "You feeling alright?"
"Yeah. Just. Peachy." Weiss growled and walked away.
"Is she going to be alright?"
"Yeah, she's just going off on one of her… moments right now." Blake said.
"I HEARD THAT!"
"Oh dear…"
"She usually calms down in like… fifteen minutes or so." Blake said as she followed Weiss while they destroyed several Underworld minions "Sooo… do you think the one head will regenerate everything, including his brothers?"
"I sure hope not, their bickering was intolerable."
"Sort of like Weiss when she complains."
"I heard that… and I DON'T see the resemblance!"
"Now now, be nice. I'm sure Weiss isn't like that."
Several minutes of Weiss complaining about how she was almost killed thanks to Palutena later…
"…You know, you might be on to something."
"Told ya." Blake said as they then noticed something flying in the air. "What's that?"
"Oh, it seems that one of them found a Boom Rocket."
"What's a Boom Rocket?" Blake asked, trying to tune out Weiss's complaining.
"Well, it's a rocket that goes up…" They saw the rocket coming down and exploding. "…Aaaand coming down with an explosive entrance."
"Makes sense."
It was then that Weiss and Blake soon reunited with Pit, Ruby and Yang. "Hey guys!" Ruby waved. "How was the fight with the head?"
"Just. Great." Weiss lied and walked away.
"…Did we miss something?" Yang asked.
"You don't want to know. How'd it go on your end?" Blake asked.
"Well, it was boring with a few Underworld enemies and Grimm until we located the head… and we used a rocket that tore apart an ambush." Pit said. "It was activated by Ruby!" He said as Ruby did a cute little 'peace' pose.
"Somehow, I'm not surprised." Blake chuckled as they walked forward until they got out of town and at the lake, where the last Hewdraw spotted them, as he just regained his body.
"So you've finished off the others, eh?" Hewdraw asked.
"You know it!" Pit exclaimed.
"Then you've saved the best for last. Let's get down TO BUSINESS!" Hewdraw roared.
BGM: Boss Battle 1 (Kid Icarus: Uprising)
Hewdraw proceeded to breathe fire at them, forcing them to attack as they proceeded to fire their weapons at him as he fired a few lasers as well but they ducked and dodged and kept on firing. "Y'know, you don't seem upset that we killed your brothers." Pit said during the fight.
"That's because they were idiots." The Hewdraw replied dismissively. "They've been nothing but a pain in the tail! Now thanks to you lot, I'm free!"
"Oh, you are just asking for a punch, aren't you?!" Yang growled, disgusted at how the serpent could just disown his brothers like that. After a few more shots, Hewdraw decided to duck underwater.
"He went underwater!" Pit exclaimed.
"Thank you, captain obvious!" Weiss said.
"Um…" Ruby saw an orange orb of energy as the Hewdraw fired homing scale-like missiles as she fired it, and then it exploded in the water when it dropped down. "Oh, we can try that."
"Way ahead of you, sis!" Yang said as she ran forward and let out a powerful shot from her arm as it smacked into the Hewdraw and it launched him out of the water.
"Alright, let's lay the smack down on him!" Pit exclaimed as they proceeded to tear the creature apart before he went back in and tried to launch another laser, but Weiss ran over and fired her Schnee Orbitars at him to finish him off.
"OOOOW!" He fell into the water.
"Mission complete!" Pit exclaimed.
"That's another one of Medusa's commanders out of the way!"
It was then that the Hewdraw came back up, looking directly at Pit. "Look… how far you've come Pit… you even… got yourself a girlfriend… I'm proud of you…" He said before exploding.
"Wow… you usually don't mean such nice bos-… wait, did HE JUST SAY…"
Ruby blushed. "He did…!"
"Boyfriend/girlfriend already, eh?" Yang teased.
"WE ARE NOT DATING YET!" They both yelled, before blushing even harder when they realized what they just said.
"Emphasis on 'yet'." Blake smirked.
"Oh, I'll get the camera!"
"Not helping, Lady Palutena!" Pit exclaimed as they were taken back to Skyworld.
And thus, Skyworld is going to be listening to Weiss complaining for the rest of the day.
