Chapter 3: A persistent, dark sight. Another transfer student and new revelations

Rias peaked inside Dark Pit's memories. Dark Pit groaned in his sleep feeling uncomfortable. It startled her, but she sigh in relief when he was still asleep. She looked beyond 8 years ago, searching anything about his origins. She managed to find the memories she was looking for and started to watch them.

Through the memories, she saw the creation of Dark Pit. The moment she did, a mirror was shattered by another being who looked like the opposite of him. She watched the battle against a ghastly head with the white-wearing angel. Eventually, they succeeded to destroy the figure. However, he smacked the angel away and took the specter's power. He flew away, fighting against the angel chasing him.

"You're annoying, Pit. I'm tired of you following me." He said to the white angel.

"Since I'm taking Pandora's power, I'll put it to good use." Dark Pit said.

She watched as Dark Pit flew away while Pit was chasing after him. Oddly, monsters began to appear near him.

"Army of the Underworld? I don't serve anyone, so be gone." Dark Pit growled.

He aimed his Silver Bow at them, killing them while Pit also fought through them. The scenery shifted to the white angel battling Dark Pit at a temple. The memory shifted to Dark Pit lying on the ground, barely conscious in a forest at the human world.

"Tch... That annoying angel and his goddess. They really are annoying..." Dark Pit commented.

He didn't notice a human girl who looked at him in amazement. She wasn't afraid of him though. However, she was hiding behind a tree shyly.

"Who's there? Show yourself!" He shouted.

The girl showed herself.

"What do you want?" he asked coldly.

"I'm sorry. I noticed you were injured so I wanted to help heal you." The girl said.

Dark Pit took notice and reluctantly calmed down.

"Alright. I'll allow you to help treat my injuries." He said.

She noticed a faint blush on his face. She decided to talk with him.

"My name is Adonia. I live in a nearby town from this forest." The girl said in introduction.

"My name is Dark Pit. I'm a fallen angel and I serve no one." Dark Pit introduced.

She giggled.

"If you don't, then don't you have anyone you like?" she asked.

Dark Pit blushed. "I-I don't have anyone that I know of. It's just me being a loner."

Adonia hugged him close.

"Maybe, when we know more of each other, you might start feeling empathetic to those you care." She said in a warm tone.

Dark Pit didn't say anything. He began thinking of how to cherish bonds with a person he might care. This puzzled him for some time as Adonia treated his wounds.

######

As the days passed, Dark Pit's demeanor got soft. He tolerated Adonia's presence and felt welcomed by her. His injuries have fully healed, allowing him to stand up. Rias continued watching the somewhat romantic interaction between them.

'Despite him being cold-hearted, he does have empathy to care for others. What could've drove him to become so dark and cold to hate the Underworld in general?' She thought in question.

She continued watching his memories.

"It's odd... I never knew much about bonding, yet it feels warm. I wonder what happened to Adonia... She usually shows up right now." He said.

He stood up, about to fly off till he saw her.

Eventually, she came to him.

"You're fully recovered, Dark Pit. Are you planning to leave?" She asked while worried.

"I have to, Adonia. The monsters of the Underworld are growing. If I don't go to the battle, everyone in this world and you will perish. I have to find out what's causing the monsters to appear increasingly. I have to fight in order to protect you and your family." Dark Pit reasoned.

This led her to tears as she watched him fly out into the sky.

'I will protect this world. For what it's worth, I want to see this world in a more positive outlook…' He thought.

The memory shifted to the white angel saving Dark Pit from a fiery death. It cost the white angel his wings, leaving him critical condition. Near Pit, a beautiful woman appeared.

"Hold it, Pittoo. I need you to help him…" The woman said.

"Don't call me that name again. You were the one who tried to kill me anyway without knowing who I am, Palutena. I won't help you with your problems." Dark Pit said with anger.

He started to walk away.

"If you let him die, you might die as well. Your creation was incomplete since Pit destroyed the Mirror of Truth before it fully created you. I don't even know whether you'll stay alive independently, or die with him." Palutena said.

This made Dark Pit stop. He began to think about what will happen to him, due to a previous experience. Reluctant, he agreed to help.

"You must go to the Rewind Springs. It'll save his life and restore his wings. You need to head to the City of Souls in the realm of Hades." Palutena instructed.

Rias began to put the pieces together, regarding about Dark Pit. It only served to make her ask more questions.

Dark Pit flew towards an open crystal cave. The cave was glowing with a luminescent blue color.

"The City of Souls... The Rewind Spring must be near." Dark Pit observed.

"Yes… This is where the souls of the dead gather when the living die." Palutena said.

"Essentially speaking, this is the Underworld…" Dark Pit said.

He took notice of monsters attacking him. He shot them down with his Silver Bow and Dark Pit Staff. Rias watched in fascination as he fought the monsters of the Underworld. He shot down one monster till he slashed down 5 more while flying. Swarms of monsters came, forcing him to unleash a volley of arrows at the monsters. They all turned to dust upon getting hit. Reaching towards his destination, Rias heard a loud flippant yet sarcastic voice.

"The amount of souls gathering here is impressive. It used to be a stream; now it became a torrent. They're like taffy: malleable, easy to bend, easy to change." The male voice said.

"Hades… You again…" Dark Pit snided.

"Someone's looking a little goth today. Hope the stress form your adventures hasn't caught up to you." Hades said.

"No one's listening." Dark Pit remarked dryly.

"So the extra souls come to this region?" Dark Pit questioned.

"Yes… Most of the souls fade away, but some are…eaten…" Palutena said with remorse and disdain.

"Even in the afterlife, it's survival of the fittest." The flippant Hades remarked.

"It does make sense… The weak are consumed, just as nature intended." Another voice said.

"Tone down your topic of discussion, Viridi. We got a threat to deal with." Dark Pit snorted.

"Well then, Pittoo. If you're that confident, remembered how I mentioned that souls get devoured?" Palutena asked.

"Well, here's the hideous, gluttonous, devourer of souls himself." Viridi said.

A monster appeared, larger than the ones he fought.

"You weren't kidding about this monster being hideous...! A large worm though? How pathetic..."

He dashed towards the soul eater's mouth. He drilled his way through and hacked it into pieces. By then, he continued flying to the Rewind Springs.

"I find that creature rather adorable to me. The souls here can be delicious. Good thing they don't have personalities." Hades remarked.

"Are you serious?" Dark Pit questioned.

"Of course they don't. It's essentially asking if a drop of a person's blood is living. They're just a resource to harvest from living beings." Hades said.

"What a callous mentality you have… Can't you think any more like that?" Viridi sardonically.

"I can try however I please… Souls are just like taffy… Sweet enough to eat, but ductile enough to change into whatever shape I desire." Hades said.

"What a disgusting choice of words…" Viridi snided.

"I love to get my hands on Pitto's soul. So dark, chewy, and malleable. A powerful spirit lke that shouldn't be wasted by the king of devouring souls as lunch." Hades said.

This brought questions to Viridi and Palutena.

"Do you think Hades was serious enough to mold souls into different forms?" Viridi questioned.

"That explains why so many Underworld monsters are here… He's using the souls to make his army." Dark Pit said.

"Quite an astute one, aren't you Pittoey?" Hades flippantly teased.

"Let me try to understand this… With all the souls at his disposal, then Hades would have an endless army at preparation." Viridi said.

Hades laughed, seeing that the Goddesses have realized Hades' plan.

"All the lives lost in war go here to build up the Underworld army…" Palutena said.

"You're right. The more fighting occurs, the bigger my army gets. I never felt this much joy to fighting off my losing enemies!" Hades said with sadistic tone.

"Hold the phone, Underworld ruler… I don't think your math is correct in this. Go back to playing the Brain Age if you want to know why." Dark Pit said.

"Why are you talking about that particular game at a time like this, Dark Pit?" Viridi asked.

"Think about this carefully. All the causalities in this war between the Gods has been acting like a torrent here. If Hades was indeed correct about his statement, the Underworld would have too crowded of monsters swarming at every single corner of Hades' kingdom." Dark Pit explained.

"That means that one fallen soldier doesn't equal to one Underworld trooper. Creating something as tangible as a monster would take…" Palutena paused.

"A TON of souls! But that's such a huge waste. What an abomination!" Viridi said with shock.

"Tell me about it… This is just one perverse action from Hades himself. He has to be stopped at all costs." Dark Pit stated.

"You poor, mislead things… You won't be able to stop me, not in my realm!" Hades said, attacking Dark Pit.

"Egah…!" Dark Pit grunted.

"Don't let him get to you. He's trying to delay your progress." Palutena said.

"No time for a tour in this realm. We have to find the Rewind Spring and fast." Dark Pit said.

"Hey, watch that tone of your voice." Palutena remarked.

"Go get a room for yourselves, lovers." Hades teased.

Dark Pit noticed a stream of souls acting like a tornado.

"So many souls…" He said.

"This WAS a stream of souls, but so many lives have been lost in this war… It has become a torrent. All souls have to come here in the Underworld to find their final resting so that life can spring anew through reincarnation. This is an essential part of the cycle of life, but Hades has been playing with the souls. His bloodlust has thrown everything into chaos." Palutena said.

"Even so, it's just like humans disrupting the balance of nature back in the world of the living!" Viridi remarked.

"What a pelutant thought… All of you Gods and your wars have thrown everything to chaos! Hades was just the mixer in these events!" Dark Pit riposted.

"How dare you speak such a tone to us?" Viridi snarked.

"Don't try to smarm your ideals here, Viridi. Dark Pit is right… We have the Forces of Nature wiping out humanity. We have the Underworld hoarding souls form lives lost. We have the humans continuing to utilize nature and each other. And we have us, Gods, who dragged the world in our power struggles…" Palutena said in a somber tone.

"It doesn't matter anyway. The current problem is who's profiting in the chaos." Dark Pit said.

"Hades… Left unchecked, he becomes a threat to everything." Viridi said.

"We need to get Pit back into shape if we have a chance to take him down. The Rewind Spring should be close by." Dark Pit said, as he flew into a dark void.

######

Dark Pit noticed what appeared to be a small white platform in the dark void.

"Is this the Rewind Spring?" Dark Pit questioned.

"Yes, that's the one. I'll bring Pit next to you." Palutena said.

"I can already guess what it does. No need for an explanation." Dark Pit said.

"Oh? How much do you know?" Viridi teasingly asked.

"This spring is said to change everything back to its original state. It's also possible to reverse death itself or heal a person from critical damage." Dark Pit said.

"Quite a smart one there." Viridi said.

Something happened the moment he landed near the water. He groaned in pain till a disembodied head appeared from his body. The specter jumped into the water, restoring itself.

"It's good to be back. You naughty boy...Pittoo. Taking my powers for your own desire. You will be punished. Though I must congratulate you for reviving me, even if it was unwilling." The head said in a boisterous tone.

"I don't care about you, Pandora. But you're in my way." Dark Pit snarled.

Dark Pit fought against Pandora till she jumped back into the water again. Another figure appeared. This time, an Amazonian, blue haired woman appeared.

"This is the new and improved me~!" Pandora said.

Rias could do nothing but stare in awkward silence.

The silence was interrupted by Hades.

"Pandora...? I never seen you look so...animated." He said in surprise.

'Another threat comes and he talks as though she's an anime? Talk being too flippant…' She thought jokingly.

Dark Pit battled against the newly formed Pandora. He equipped his Beam Claws and slashed through the rogue goddess, killing her.

"And good riddance to a corrupted God." He stated.

Rias heard Viridi's voice call out to him. "All you have to do is dip him in the water." Viridi said.

"You don't have to tell me that twice, Viridi." He said annoyingly.

He dipped Pit inside the water. Rias watched as Pit's wounds healed before her eyes and his wings regenerated.

'Amazing... The waters from that spring healed him up and reversed the damage done to his wings…' She thought in shock.

However, she noticed Dark Pit leaving him behind. He attempted to fly off, only to realize he couldn't fly.

"Hmm? Oh nooooooooo...!" He yelled as Rias watched fell into a dark void.

######

The memory shifted to the battle against Hades in the human world. Dark Pit and Pit flew into the sky to battle against a humanoid demonic figure.

"Hades! You're corrupted scheme is over! It's time for you to die". Pit said.

"Can you think something a little more dignified?" Dark Pit questioned in the awkward moment.

"Let's get rid of this guy then, Pittoo."

This irked Dark Pit.

"Would you quit calling me that!?" He exclaimed comically.

Rias watched as Pit summoned what appeared to be mechanical suit. Although Pit had the upper hand, the suit was destroyed, leaving him helpless. Dark Pit flew quickly to get Pit out of the way.

"Reckless as always, you fool…" He said.

"Hey, at least I fight to protect humanity, Palutena, and the people I care for." He boasted.

"Get your heads back in the fight. This is no time for arguing." Palutena said.

Hades grew to a large size, making him nearly unstoppable. By then, another deity appeared.

"Medusa? What are you doing here?" Pit asked.

"Isn't it obvious? I'm here to help you two beat Hades." Medusa said.

The dark goddess tried to fight Hades to the best of her ability. However, even Medusa was no match for Hades. He made a strong punch which pierced through the dark Goddess's body. She groaned in a futile attempt to attack him.

"You...you may have taken my life Hades, but this isn't over... Not by a long shot..." Medusa remarked.

Medusa died while the two angels watched. A soul of a mortal girl flew by Dark Pit. He recognized it as it floated nearby.

"T-that soul... Adonia! What did you do to her!?" He asked.

Hades caught the soul, making him angry.

"Let her go!" Dark Pit yelled.

Hades laughed darkly.

"Oh? I didn't think mister fallen angel here has someone he likes." He said.

Hades began to explain.

"I've sent my monsters to attack this girl's hometown. I personally killed her for a specific reason. Her soul was so pure, so tasty. Although it'll be difficult to find another soul like hers, it's worth causing you pain, Pittoo." Hades stated, taking pleasure in Dark Pit's emotional pain.

He eventually destroyed the soul and ate its energy.

This made him widen his eyes as uncontrolled fury coursed in his body.

"Damn you... DAMN YOU TO HELL, HADES!" Dark Pit raged.

Dark Pit charged with unrivaled fury. His body glowed into a purple-red light.

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH! I'M GONNA RIP YOUR BODY TO SHREDS TILL YOU SUFFER FOR WHAT YOU DONE!" He said with fury.

The immense fury from Dark Pit echoed in the sky.

"Don't do it, Pittoo! It's useless if you charge recklessly!" Palutena warned.

He didn't listen and charged directly inside of Hades. He pierced through his body and went straight to his heart. With his Dark Pit Staff, he fired a powerful shot that used up the magic that was coursing through his body. The magical shot pierced Hades's heart, obliterating it. Hades could do nothing but cough out blood.

However, Hades was still alive.

"Guahh...! Where did this power come from?" He asked in surprise.

Dark Pit equipped his Beam Claws and unleashed a fury of claw swipes.

"Haaaaaahhhhhhh!"

With a loud shout, he destroyed Hades's body, leaving his head.

"M-mercy..." He tried to plead at Dark Pit.

The begging fell on deaf ears as Dark Pit casted a soulless look at him.

"Sorry, buddy. All out of mercy." He said sadistically.

He cross slashed the head, killing Hades once and for all.

Dark Pit collapsed to his knees in exhaustion and sorrow. He screamed out loud in emotional pain. The scream unleashed a powerful shockwave in the human world, killing the monsters. Pit and Palutena could only watch in sorrow as Dark Pit screamed loudly in pain. Rias could not help but feel sorry about him.

'He may put up a tough guy act, but he has a wounded heart. He doesn't want to experience something like that again... How lonely…' She thought as she watched him destroy all the monsters in the Underworld.

With one last scream, the surviving monsters were all killed as Pit and Palutena saw him walking towards them. They both felt sorry.

"I'll never forgive him, never in my life. If he dares to come back, I will kill him slowly, but in the most painful way possible…" Dark Pit said before he went unconscious.

######

Rias left Dark Pit's memories. She returned back to the old school building. Tears started to stream from her eyes. The moment she appeared to her peerage, they took notice of her shedding tears.

"What's wrong, Buchou?" Akeno asked in concern.

"It's not something I should explain without permission." She said cryptically.

Dark Pit was tossing and turning in his futon. A nightmare was occurring in his sleep as he watched a particular girl he knew got her soul crushed and eaten by Hades several times. This made him spring up from his sleep in cold sweat.

"Just a dream..."

He went to the kitchen to get a glass of water to drink.

"That same dream... Over and over, I keep experiencing that same nightmare for the past 8 years. I'll never be rid of this terrible dream." He said with melancholy.

######

The next few days later, Dark Pit was sulking at his seat during break time. The teacher came to the classroom, with a science book.

"Attention everyone. We have a guest student who's a first year being transferred here. Please come in." He said.

A male student appeared from the door. His hair is brown with a smooth spike, his hair has two tails tied near the end. He began writing his name on the board.

"Everyone, my name is Hyoudou Issei. I hope we can get along and work together." He said calmly.

The females surrounded Issei briefly asking him questions till he nervously turned them down.

'He'll be dealing with the same thing that happened to me when I got here…' He thought bitterly.

Lunch period came and Dark Pit was in the roof, eating teriyaki. He felt a weak sensation on his head.

'Why did I get the feeling I was being watched last night?' He questioned to himself.

He concentrated magic all over him and found something foreign on his body. He took notice of a familiar, red magic circle that was used on him. This immediately got him angry.

"She dares...to intrude upon me while I slept!? If that's how they want to play, I'll have to make sure and ask what she did to me. That damn Gremory." He said in anger.

He rushed to the old school building, anger clearly shown on his face.

"Rias Gremony... Care for an explanation?" He said in an eerily calm tone.

Rias knew she added fuel to the fire and hesitantly showed herself. Dark Pit sat down on one of the sofas.

"What did you do to me?" He asked, anger barely contained.

"I went inside your home to sneak up on you. However, since you were asleep, I looked at your memories-"

This made Dark Pit angrier.

"You dare...look inside my memories just to know me better!?" His eyes glowed red, frightening Rias.

"I hope whatever deity has mercy on you." He said with a ghostly voice.

She was completely spooked by the immense, magical aura.

"Before I let a salvo of homing arrows fly off to you, answer me this. Why did you peek into my memories?" He asked with rage.

"I wanted to find out about you. There's no record of where you come from. Not even my kind know what you are." She said nervously.

"Is that so?" He questioned sweetly.

He closed his eyes completely, scaring her. Rias's peerage arrived just in time to feel the immense pressure exuded from Dark Pit. It felt suffocating, even though it was not directed to them.

"Sayonara…" He said in a low voice.

He let go of the bowstring, summoning arrows of light. They swarmed to Rias like mosquitoes. She dodged most of the shots but some hit her. She thought she would have injuries, but the arrows didn't give any. Instead, they gave her a muscle cramp where they hit her at. The cramps were paralyzing to Rias as she couldn't withstand the pain. Her body felt as though it turned into stone.

"Don't worry... The arrow were indeed made of light, but that's the least of your worries. They have the ability to target specific points of the muscular system. Specifically, the pressure points, where the pain is more apparent. Once the arrows strike their target, the muscles will contract uncontrollably, giving you no time for your body to recuperate. In a moment, the cramps hit. The effect will last for 4 hours. No conventional medicine, magic or pain killers will stop the pain. Enjoy the pain while it lasts so you can reflect on your actions." Dark Pit remarked.

Dark Pit left the building as Rias's peerage watched him. They didn't want to provoke him, lest they suffer the same thing. Akeno, for some reason, felt her lustful side manifest.

"Ara ara... He certainly knows how to be a sadist. I wonder if I should play the masochist." She said.

Rias fumed.

"Don't talk about getting to know him now, Akeno. These cramps are painful..." Rias said.

Dark Pit walked back to his home room, tired of dealing with Rias.

"That girl's got spunk, I'll give her that... Hopefully she learns not to pull off a stunt like that again." He fumed.

Art class started for him. He was using modeling clay to create something. Unconsciously, he remembered the girl back in his world that he cared for. Because of this, he reshaped the clay into the girl's form. To emphasize the image, he made the clay statue to look up in the sky while standing on a log. The teacher looked back and noticed Dark Pit's creation.

"K-Kuro-san. That's...!" He eventually noticed what he created in surprise.

It was the same girl he saw in his world. The students all looked at the statue in amazement.

"Amazing... It looks like Rias, but it's not. It's another girl. How much is that statue?" A female asked.

Eventually the guys noticed the statue. They also became entranced by it.

"Sorry, everyone. This statue is not for sale." The students all groaned in disappointment.

Gym class came as Dark Pit was doing sprints. He took notice of Issei catching up to him.

"Hi Kuro-san." He said.

"Oh, hi Hyuodou-san. How's the school been treating you?" He asked Issei.

"Everything is ok for the most part. The only exception were these 2 guys." Issei remarked.

This got Dark Pit's attention.

"One of them looks bald, while the other had glasses on. They were talking about some kind of service they wanted to show me, but I refused."

He immediately recognize them.

"Issei, you did a morally good choice. Those two guys are known as the Perverted Duo. They often like to peek at the females through any means. Stay away from them by all means." Dark Pit said seriously.

This made Issei frown before he heard a commotion from the female students running after the two aforementioned males.

"If that's what you believe, then I trust you." Issei said.

Issei may be a typical 16 year old teenager, but he was able to keep himself calm. He generally doesn't like anything perverted, just like Dark Pit, but in a less destructive way. Eventually, they both were doing pull-ups on a metal bar. Both competed to see which one would outlast one another. Seeing the challenge, Dark Pit accepted it. Vigorously, both guys were reaching up to 40 pull-ups. Issei tired out at 48 while Dark Pit stopped at 59. He eventually let go of the bar.

"You're pretty athletic there, Kuro-san." Issei complimented.

"Same to you, Hyoudou-san." Dark Pit acknowledged.

They both looked at each other like friendly rivals. They eventually laughed after their small competition.

######

Dark Pit left his school to be on his way for work. On his way, he noticed Issei heading to the restaurant.

"Oh. Hey, Kuro-san." Iseei called out.

"Hi Hyoudou-san. What's up?" He asked.

"I was about to head out to the restaurant to get something to eat." Issei said.

This was a valid reason for him to trust his new friend.

"So, why are you heading there as well?" Issei asked.

"That's where I work for the most part, Hyoudou-san." This surprised Issei.

"What do you work as?" He asked in curiosity.

"Believe it or not, I work as a chef." Dark Pit answered.

This made Issei stop in his tracks.

"A chef? You mean, you were the one who made these meals that everyone liked when they visited that same place?" Dark Pit nodded in response.

This made Issei feel compelled to try the food Dark Pit can make. Both boys walked towards the restaurant.

"I'll wait for what I ordered, Kuro-san." He said.

"Don't worry. Most people would have their taste buds dancing by now." He commented jokingly.

Dark pit got dressed and prepared the recent orders from customers. A new order came to him.

"An order of curry rice for Hyoudou-san." The cashier said to him.

"Curry rice huh? Well then, I'll make it." He declared.

He cooked the dish carefully and had it ready. Issei waited patiently till his curry rice dish was served. The moment he took one bite, he couldn't believe it.

"T-this dish is too good...!" Dark Pit chuckled, hearing his friend.

Issei went home after having a tasty meal.

######

Sundown came, and Dark Pit finished his job for the week.

"Tomorrow, I have that date with Yuuma-san. I might as well get myself ready for it." He said.

The next day came by. Dark Pit was waiting at the meeting point for his date to arrive. He felt nervous, despite reassuring himself. He dressed up in a black shirt, black pants, and black-red sneakers with golden accents. He made his way to the train station, where Yuuma said she'll meet him. He waited patiently for her arrival. While waiting, a woman with a devil costume gave him a flyer. He looked at the girl in question. He took notice of the symbol of the flyer, which angered him.

'I thought I told her that I don't want to chat with her again…' He thought in anger.

He silently burned the flyer with light magic, not wanting to deal with Rias. He eventually saw the woman turn into a bat at an alley. With quick timing, he went to the alley and took aim at the bat. He shot the bat down without hesitation.

"Hopefully, that'll teach her not to mess with me. I'm in no mood to see her!" He exclaimed angrily.

He made his way back to the station, waiting for Yuuma. Eventually, she arrived. She was wearing a light purple shirt and a black dress. This made him blush immediately. 'She looks just like that girl I knew' he thought in surprise.

"Sorry I'm late. I hope I didn't make you wait too long." She said.

"It's ok. I just got here so it's no trouble." He said.

Yuuma and Dark Pit enjoyed their date together. They went to an accessory shop, where he purchased a small, elegant necklace with a ruby heart. Eventually, they went to the local cafe and ordered a parfait. They ate the parfait together. Yuuma notice Dark Pit smiling sincerely. This made her blush up as she never saw him smile. He saw a small slab of cream on her face. He was sitting near her and no one didn't pay attention to him. He made a quick kiss on her cheek which took the cream off of her. She blushed up red when he made that stunt. Dark Pit also blushed up.

"Awww... Young love…" The waiter said.

Both of them blushed like a tomato.

"S-sorry about that, Y-Yuuma-chan. I didn't mean to embarrass you." He stuttered.

"I-It's ok, Pit-san." Yuuma said with a blush.

They still were blushing red from the action he made in the restaurant.

'He's so innocent, it's too cute for me.' Yuuma thought.

The couple went to an aquarium and looked at the sea life. They watched in amazement as they looked. Their date was going well for them. After some time in the aquarium, they went to an arcade where he was able to win a cute, cat doll.

Sunset came as the couple finally went to a park to rest.

"Today was fun with you, Pit-san."

He smiled at her.

"It sure was." Dark Pit said, smirking.

Yuuma walked up to him.

"Pit-kun, there's something I want to show you, but I'm nervous about it."

He reassured her.

"It's ok if you don't feel like showing me anything. If it makes you feel uncomfortable, then don't do it."

She immediately clamped on to him, making him blush. She pulled him to a tree behind the bushes and kissed him. Needless to say, he was very shocked and blushed up crimson.

"Y-Y-Yuuma-chan…" He stuttered.

Yuuma hugged Dark Pit closely.

"I-I'm sorry, Pit-kun. I-I-I just wanted to kiss you." Raynare said, blushing up as well.

"W-was that what you wanted to show to me?" He asked nervously.

"N-no, that's not all."

He felt very nervous till she hugged him from behind. This startled him, forcing him to reveal his wings in shock. It didn't surprise, Yuuma as she watched his wings in fascination. This made him conscious of his wings as he attempted to hide them, but failed. He sighed in defeat.

"I-I know. I'm not a human being, Yuuma-chan. I'm a black angel."

This didn't deter from her being scared. She touched his wings which twitched softly.

"I'm like you, Pit-kun."

He was surprised till Yuuma revealed her wings to him.

"I'm a fallen angel." Yuuma said.

He realized that there were more like him, making him feel less lonely. "Are there more of your kind as well?" He asked.

"Yes. There are fallen angels here as well." She said.

Dark Pit was surprised to hear this from Yuuma.

"Well, I'm glad that I'm not the only one of your kind." He said to her.

He hugged her close.

"Just, don't do anything that'll risk your life." He said, holding her close as she felt him shiver a little.

"I promise, I won't." She said.

The sight was a cute scene for anyone watching. When they finished hugging, it gave the couple several questions.

"Kuro Pit is not your true name, isn't it?" She asked.

"It's my legal name, but I was often called Dark Pit. I'll explain everything some other time. How about you." He asked.

"Well, my real name is Raynare. I used the false name, Yuuma Amayo here in the human world. It almost refers to me in a unique way" She said.

She then stared at his wings. "These wings were like this when I was...born."

She noticed the hesitation from him but let it off for now.

"I was also born a fallen angel as well. I never wanted to show this to anyone. I only wanted to show this to a guy that I like or a person I can truly trust." Raynare said.

He never felt the feeling of love for a long time. Ever since he remembered meeting that girl in his world, he became a loner. He didn't want to fall in love again after seeing her soul get crushed by Hades. It still haunts him at times.

"Is everything ok, Pit-kun?" Raynare asks.

He was still shivering a little as tried to suppress his memory.

"Everything's ok. Just some old memories from where I came from." He said to her.

She accepted the answer for now.

The couple's intimate time was interrupted when a familiar magical circle appeared. It got their attention immediately as Dark Pit summoned his Silver Bow. Raynare watched in fascination and awe as the weapon appeared on his hand.

"I-Is that a Sacred Gear?" He asks in surprise. He shook his head.

"This is a Sacred Treasure. This bow is a manifestation of my power. It's a versatile weapon that I use." He explained.

He readied an arrow of light as the circle flashed brightly. Rias and her peerage appeared in front of the couple.

"You're beginning to anger me already, Rias…" He stated with anger.

Before saying anything else, another magic circle appeared. It appeared blue with a unique pattern. By then, Sona Sitri and her peerage appeared.

"Cease this fighting, Kuro-san. We're not here to start a fight." Sona said.

"You have to show up just to protect your friend. What is your reason for you appearing here?" Dark Pit questioned.

He kept his arrow ready at the bow string. Sona sighed and started to explain.

"Rias told me about her familiar being destroyed. Tell me, was it you that killed her familiar?" She asks.

"If you're referring to that bat that gave me a flyer, then yes." Dark Pit answered.

His anger created a purple aura to shine around him.

"I told her to stay away from me. I don't take sides with anyone. What I want is to live normally. I didn't come here to join a peerage and become a devil." He said with disdain.

Sona watched as Dark Pit vented his anger.

"Also, don't get my friends involved either. I noticed her watching Hyoudou Issei." Dark Pit noted.

He looked at Rias.

"You're not interested in us. You're only interested in my powers and Sacred Treasures. You gave that same look at him as well. It's possible that he may possess a so-called Sacred Gear. However, know this. If you attempt to recruit Issei with your peerage..."

He pulled the string tighter, making the arrow shine brighter

"...then I'll hunt you down." Dark Pit snarled.

The killer intent exuding from Dark Pit scared everyone. Sona, who is having a first taste experience of it, collapsed to her knees. Even Akeno was frightened of him.

"Word of advice, Rias. Never anger him again. You already caused enough mistrust on him several times. First time was watching him from a distance. Next, you stalked him, even convincing him against his will to join your peerage. He was truthful with his words. I suggest you wait till he calms down. Any more actions like this will result in unnecessary bloodshed. We don't want that to happen." Sona said with a hint of fear.

She turned to Akeno.

"Try to talk it out with him when he calms down. You may have given him a rough start, but he's not as violent to you as he's violent with Rias." She stated.

"Very well then, Sitri-san. I'll try to talk with him. For now, let's just make sure we don't incur his wrath." Akeno said.

Dark Pit walked away with a slight angered expression. Raynare was scared of him, but was more scared of the Gremory peerage.

"U-um... Pit-kun." She said nervously.

He looked towards her and calmed down.

"Sorry, Raynare. These guys gave a rather bitter taste for me when we first met. It became very annoying with them. You didn't look very shocked though. You probably heard of them?" He asked.

"Yes I know about them. They're known as the Gremory peerage. Unlike typical devils, they care for their peerage. Rias, on the other hand, is very clingy. Once she sets her sight on something, she doesn't stop. For you to frighten her, you must be very strong…" She complimented.

Dark Pit blushed in response.

"I'm truly sorry about what happened a few minutes ago. I noticed the looks they gave you. They don't like your kind it seems." Dark Pit remarked.

Raynare nodded.

"Yes, they don't. Fallen angels sometimes cause trouble to them, but I don't want any more of this. I want to enjoy the life I have." She said.

By then, another question came to him.

"I recalled you saying there are 3 races of the supernatural that are commonly known. Do they have their leaders? If so, who are they?" He asked in curiosity.

Raynare was thinking carefully.

"For the devils, they're called Maous. For the Angels, a group known as the Seraph acts as the leader. For the Fallen Angels, it's a commander of the Grigori. There are 4 Maous, with 3 of them known as Super Devils. They're a class of their own. The Seraph has one supreme ruler named Michael. He's an archangel and leader of heaven. Finally, there's Azazel. He's the leader of the fallen angels." She explained.

After hearing the explanation, Dark Pit asked one last question.

"Why are you not with the fallen angels?" He asked.

"The ones I was with have done unspeakable things. They took the lives of innocent people to get their Sacred Gears for their purpose. I abandoned them and became a rogue fallen angel. Because of this, I don't want to go back with them, not after what they've done." She said, looking down on the pavement.

He was furious with the fallen angels that Raynare was with.

"What are their names?" He asked with hidden anger.

"Mittelt, Dohnaseek, and Kalawarner. However, Kalawarner is being forced by Dohnaseek to find any potential Sacred Gear users. She doesn't want to deal with his abuse on her, but if she refuses, he'll torture her." She answered in a shaking tone.

This made him angry, but Dark Pit hugged Raynare.

"I promise you, Raynare. I'll make sure he and Mittelt pay for their crimes. I'll keep your promise till the end. I promise you...REVENGE!" Dark Pit said seriously.

Although it scared her, she felt protective with him. Raynare smiled happily that he was willing to help. She hugged him close, shedding tears. Their time was interrupt by a flying figure.

"K-Kalawarner!"

She was surprised that her friend was able to find her.

"Raynare, so you managed to find someone you love. Well, I got news for you lovebirds. Dohnaseek has set his sights on this boy." Kalawarner said.

She showed a picture which shocked Dark Pit.

"That's Issei Hyoudou...! Why is he targeting him?" He asked in desperate rage.

"Dohnaseek thinks his Sacred Gear is dangerous and has the potential to kill a god if left unchecked. He fears that if it went unstable, it can cause catastrophe." Kalawarner explained.

This angered Dark Pit.

"What purpose would it do if he kills him? It'll only anger him and unleash his wrath. He doesn't realize that the Gremory peerage will revive him." Dark Pit said.

Hearing that Kalawarner felt hopeful.

"If you're able to prevent Dohnaseek's plan, you may be able to save your friend from death and becoming Rias's peerage. He may send me or Mittelt to do his bidding. I fear that Mittelt would do so." Kalawarner noted.

"Thanks for telling me this, Kalawarner. Like I promised to Raynare, I'll save you as well." Dark Pit promised.

Hearing his declaration made her blush and she smiled.

"I'll wait till that day comes. Be careful you two. He will notice what you are doing." Kalawarner warned.

Kalawarner flew off, leaving the couple behind.

"We need to get ready to fight against him. How are you with weapons?" He asked Raynare.

She summoned a light spear which had a red-purple color.

"That's good, but I can share with you one of my Sacred Treasures."

He gave her his Beam Claws.

"These claws..." She was watching them in awe.

"I never seen these claws." Raynare said as the light from the claws turned into a red-purple color.

Dark Pit chuckled.

"Those are Beam Claws. They use the light energy from angels to create these solid blades. It seems fallen angels are able to wield them too." Dark Pit said.

She was still amazed by the light glowing in front of her. Even though it was using her light powers, she saw her light take a solid shape. It was a sensation she never experienced.

"I'll watch Issei in my school. She might go alone or may be accompanied with someone else. Either way, Mittelt may notice so you may want to hide your energy. She'll notice you if you don't hide your presence. I need you to hide at a thick tree. It'll mask your appearance, making it harder for her to spot you. From there, you'll be able to monitor what Mittelt is doing. If she plays her move and it goes as plan, we will need to make sure he stays alive. Issei may schedule which day and time for them to hangout. Once everything seems fine, she'll plan her strike. No doubt she'll attempt to kill him. That's when we fight back. She may attempt to kill him away from the people. Probably to avoid causing panic. We need to take her down quickly though. Dohnaseek will notice if she's missing." Dark Pit explained.

Raynare nodded in response.

"I'll do my best. Your friend doesn't deserve such a terrible fate. Although we fallen angels do mischief, I don't like the idea of taking lives for no reason." Raynare said.

Dark Pit chose not to question the mischief.

'If I end up meeting with this leader of the fallen angels... This Azazel...I'm going to make him regret for letting Raynare suffer from Dohnaseek's crude behavior.' He thought darkly.

Monday came quickly. This made Dark Pit commence with his plan. Although he was attending class, he kept a sharp eye to Issei. Nothing out of the ordinary was happening. After the classes ended, he hid from Issei's sight. He was walking across a small bridge till he saw a girl with blonde hair. She was wearing a black school uniform with blue highlights. The girl was oozing with killing intent but she kept it hidden. Dark Pit watched as she made a fake personality.

"Excuse me, are you Issei Hyoudou?" She asks.

"Yes, that's me. How can I help you?" He asks the girl.

"Um... My name is Hikari Akatsuki. I often see you walk at the bridge heading to school a lot. I kind of have a crush on you." The girl said.

Issei was surprised to hear this. 'This girl has a crush on me, but I barely even know her. Although I should be happy a girl is asking me out, it doesn't feel right. I better be careful on what choice I make.

Will you please go out with me? P-please go out with me!" She said.

Issei had a shocked look from her.

"I-I only just met you. I barely even know you, let alone know that you had a crush on me. We might be able to work things out. I'll be able to go out with you tomorrow around 3:15 PM." He said shyly.

Dark Pit watched carefully as he heard the conversation.

'So tomorrow at 3:15... Well Issei, you have good manners and morality compared to the perverted duo. I just hope you stay alive…' He thought in concern.

That all for now. I'm making Raynare a little OC and switched her role. Dohnaseek seems more of a likely person to make cruel plans. Hence why he became an antagonist. Any questions, PM me.
