I hope to be able to play with some of you
Once the three angels landed, they kept moving until they reached the fountain.
"This place isn't as ruined as back in our time," Dark Pit commented seeing there weren't many cracks in the road. There were also five paths instead of the four he would roam in.
"Lady Palutena, how are we supposed to find Legend," Ignis asked her.
"How did you find me so fast Pit?" Dark Pit asked.
"Following Underworld troops," he answered, "but I don't think Medusa has a reason to attack Legend."
"Oh I do have a purpose, but that can wait another day you angels of light, and you too dark angel," the dark goddess replied. I'll be leaving, there's still so much to destroy."
"Oh dear, look's like I'll be busy too. Anyway, I really don't know where she is at the moment, but maybe it's best to split up to cover more ground," Palutena suggested.
"Pittoo, you said that you live here. Where would you go first when you have someone on your tail?" Ignis asked. Dark Pit glared at him before answering.
"Depends on my weapon, but if I were Legend, I'd say that way," he answered pointing toward the path to the open area.
"I'll take that path, you two figure out your paths. I'm going on ahead," Ignis declared. He ran down the trail.
"I'll take the altar," Pit said and ran up the steps.
'Then I guess that leaves me with the underground room,' Dark Pit thought to himself and headed towards that direction.
Once he was down there, Dark Pit looked around. He didn't see anyone on his way in nor inside. He walked in deeper when he thought he saw something. Suddenly, the passageway and the hole in the ceiling disappeared and the room went dark. He couldn't even see his hand not even a foot away from his face.
"Well hello there little cherub," a deep voice whispered into his ear. He swung his bow blades behind him, but hit nothing.
"Come on, don't be a coward and reveal yourself!" Dark Pit demanded.
"Oh I'm not afraid; the question is, are you?" Legend taunted. Dark Pit was a bit frightened of his opponent, but he won't admit it. "I have to admit, you're quite skilled for a copy."
"H-How did you know?" Dark Pit started becoming panicked. Legend laughed.
"I help create the Mirror of Truth; though it did strike me as odd for you to work alongside your original. But I guess that's somewhat expected for an incomplete copy."
'This girl knows a lot about me. How does she know if I'm from the future?'
"You and I know that my counterpart and I are from the future, so you should be clueless about us. Just who are you?" Dark Pit asked.
"I am me, the Mistress of the Shadows is what Palutena calls me."
"Then let me rephrase: What are you?"
"What am I you ask? Well, I am everyone's worse nightmare, and that little dream you just had is only the tip of the iceberg."
'She could do worse?' Now Dark Pit is panicked. But he sucks it up and got ready to fight.
"Quit this nonsense and reveal yourself!" he demanded again. The hole in the ceiling and the door uncovered and the room became lighter. There standing behind the spotlight was Legend.
"Ready for round two I see. Let's see if you have what it takes." She summoned her swords and got in a fighting position.
"Well this time, he won't be fighting alone," someone said behind Dark Pit. They both looked to see Pit readying his blade and Ignis with a floating flame in his hand.
"Three angels, against a shadow magician, sound unfair but not the way you think.
Pit started shooting, trying to get Legend away from his counterpart. She did, but jumped and landed in front of him, catching him off guard. Her sword cut clean through the Viper Blade Pit had in his hand.
"Pit, out of the way!" Ignis called. He did and Ignis blew into the flame he had. Instead of going out, a flamethrower like effect came from his hands.
"How are you doing that?" Dark Pit asked.
"Like I said, I'm a magician," he answered. But soon after, Legend jumped through and grabbed his hands in hers; their fingers laced together. A dark current traveled through Ignis, and he screamed in pain. She let her grip go and Ignis fell to the floor.
Dark Pit ran to her getting ready to kick her in the stomach. But once he was about to kick, Legend caught his foot.
'This is gonna hurt,' he thought. She lifted it up and he lost his balanced. He fell right on top of Ignis. Pit was about to hook her from behind, but she caught his arm and judo flipped him onto Dark Pit; foot to face.
'Why is it that I always land on top of him? That's the third time,' Pit thought
"Still, I haven't broken a sweat. I guess you still need a little more practice Ignis, and you two other cherubs too," she said dusting her hands off.
"Why are you attacking us?" Pit asked still trying to get off of the ones under him.
"You started attacking me," she answered. "Thanks to a flock of geese, I had to fly into Skyworld territory. I had to get somewhere in a hurry, so I traveled at full speed. The next thing I know, I flew right through Palutena's door and crashed into Ignis there. Thinking it was something else, I attacked. And that's my back story."
"She's not lying," the goddess of light told them.
"Of course not Palutena," she replied. "I'm not like the Lord of the Underworld who does it to flirt with the girls. Even if he's already has a...wife."
"HADES IS MARRIED?" the three asked surprised.
"Even I didn't know that. And I am a god too," Palutena said still surprised.
"Trust me, I had to learn information of the gods like inside and out for an assignment; even about their previous life for some of them," she complained. She rapidly turned her head towards the exit. "Love to stay and chat, but I gotta skiddat, ciao." She ran towards the exit and jumped on the jump pad.
"Pit, could you please stop kicking my face and get off of me?" Dark Pit asked sarcastically. Pit got up and helped the two angels on the ground up to their feet.
"Neither of you looked into the glowing red orbs in that hood, right?" Ignis asked. Pit shook his head. They turned to Dark Pit.
"I looked into the hood when I confronted her, but I didn't see anything glowing," he answered. 'If I did, I could have easily attacked.'
"That's still good. If you do, the next time you sleep will let you see hell."
"Pi-Pittoo, was it that scary when you say hell?" Pit asked frightened.
"You mean you say them?" Ignis asked.
"During our first encounter with her; once Pittoo was knocked out. I couldn't get up, but when she came to me warning about a time alter. When I looked up, I say them." The two other angels looked at each other with worried looks.
"From what I've heard, it's worse than being in the Underworld. But I never have been there so I can't make judgments." Pit gulped.
"Sorry that you had to go back into battle after I promised dinner after your visit to Pandora, Ignis. But I'll heat it back up again." Palutena apologized. The extracting beam of light shrouded over the trio and they headed back to Palutena's temple.
"Ugh, that energy wave really hurts," Ignis complained while he was soaking in a hot spring. Pit and Dark Pit joined him since Ignis insisted on learning a little more about his futuristic friends.
"So you can use magic?" Pit asked.
"Pretty well, but Legend is better," Ignis answered.
"She's pretty smart too I'm guessing. No one else here knew that Hades was married," Dark Pit added. 'And she knew about us even if we came from the future.'
"I didn't even think that someone could be his type," Pit commented.
"Wait, you two actually met him?" Ignis asked. The other two nodded.
"Medusa and Viridi too," Pit added.
"Man, am I jealous; I only seen Medusa and Lady Palutena. But I have to ask, who's Viridi?" Ignis asked.
"The Goddess of Nature," Dark Pit answered.
"Really, last I checked, it was Nature, the Goddess of Nature," Ignis recalled.
"Gee, I wonder what else is different in the past," Pit asked to no one in particular .
"Hey, could you guys tell me if there is some kind of major event that would happen from my current time to the beginning of your first year of a captain, Pit? If I know, then I could prepare." The Pits looked at each other.
"I think that would affect time. And even if it didn't, I don't know any," Pit answered.
"You can blame the fact that you don't know how to read for that," Dark Pit complimented.
"It's not like you know how if you were created from me."
"I didn't know how when I was created, but I learned in my spare time when I'm too tired to train," Dark Pit told them.
"What? How?" Pit asked in surprised.
"It's a long story that you'll probably fall asleep before I'm done. I have an idea, let me write it in a book for you to- oh right, you can't," Dark Pit teased. Pit crossed his arms.
"Hey, if it makes you feel better Pit, I'll teach you a little before you go back into your time," Ignis volunteered.
"Thanks Ignis." Dark Pit got up and collected his tunic and other stuff.
"I'm heading to bed now. G'night," he said and left the two white wings in the hot spring. He headed back into his room, set his things down and climbed into bed.
'At least now I can say I'm better at something you're not Pit."
Dark Pit needed a few things in order to live in his new home and there was no way he would ask Viridi for materials. Unable to fly freely now, he walked into a nearby town (that was still a long walk from the ruins), staying in the shadows until he found something to cover his wings with. Luckily, he found a long, discarded cloth which he made into a cloak with his pin. He did his best to conceal his wings by wrapping them around his body.
'Now all I need to do is find any kind of vegetable plant for,' he thought to himself. 'Man, there's a lot of people here. Better find what I'm looking for and get out, before I'm discovered.'
Still trying to find his way around, he accidentally bumped into someone. That person had dropped many baskets of vegetables and herbs.
"I'm really sorry," Dark Pit apologized. 'Nice going Pittoo.'
"The fault is mine young man. I had my head in the clouds again." the person replied. She was an old woman, about mid fifties. She didn't have much grey hair, mostly the same shade of black hair as his. Her eyes were a few shades darker than his violet pin holding up the cloak.
Dark Pit helped her feeling a bit guilty.
"Thank you young man, you are a generous being," she thanked. Dark Pit nodded and left.
'What was that all about? Why was my heart beating with an elderly? Maybe I was just panicking about being discovered.' Dark Pit focused on the task before.
At the end of the day, Dark Pit had a cucumber and a strawberry plant in his arms. 'I can't believe how expensive these are: two silver pieces each! All I have left is one silver and twenty-nine copper pieces left. Keep this up and I have to ask Viridi for survival. That or get a job which won't even be worth my time. I wish those other Underworld fools dropped human currency instead of hearts.' His arms were getting tired halfway to the ruins so he took a small break. He heard thunder in the distance.
'Great, don't tell me Phosphora came to make the rest of the way home like hell.' He saw a flash of lightning. He groaned. He grabbed his plants and ran back to the ruins before the storm hit.
The next day, Dark Pit came back to his home to rest after beating Pit three times and getting beat once. Luckily for him, Palutena decided to turn some of his hearts into human money; one heart for three copper pieces to make it fair. He returned at the altar and found a surprise. The old woman from the market was there.
'Gods, why is she here? I thought it was an abandoned temple,' he panicked in his head.
"It's not like a man to hide from someone harmless," she called out. Feeling defeated, he revealed himself from behind the pillar.
"How'd you know I was there?" he asked.
"I say the heavenly beam of light. It's alright to show your wings. Even black ones show a sign of freedom."
"How'd you know that I was an angel?"
"I heard myths that only heavenly things could be extracted or deposited by the gods. The forest that wiped out an entire war is one of them," the old woman explained about the reset bomb Viridi launched on the war for the wish seed. "Oh silly of me, I haven't introduced myself. My name is Nocta."
"It's Dark Pit. It's the only name I approve of that someone has called me. So what exactly are you doing here?"
"I have been reading about the ancient civilization that had once lived here years ago. Do you know anything about them?" she asked.
"Sorry, but no. I don't even know myself."
"I see. Why don't you read about it? I have a few books about some of the ancient civilizations in the world that I'm willing to spare." Dark Pit thought about it. It would help pass the time when he's not training. But there was one flaw.
"I'm interested, but I can't read," he said honestly.
"Can't read? My goodness, a man your age should know how to read. Regardless, would you like to learn how?" This caught his attention.
"How much do you want?" he asked.
"I'm not charging you if you're interested. It's one of the needs of an education for everyone about your age. Even warrior and soldiers need to learn when it comes to mapping out battle plans."
For the past week, he was able to read simple words and write something called the alphabet. He's been trying to pay Nocta with food. At the end of the week, Nocta said she had to move on and see other ruins and learn more. She left some books that she was scrolls with stories on them and some blank parchment behind before she left. There were also some recipes in the mix.
"Don't worry Dark Pit, I'll come by some time to see how you are doing and maybe give you more recipes. Have you ever considered on being a cook? You are amazing with cooking," she complimented.
"It's nothing really. Just a bunch of vegetable put in boiling water," Dark Pit told honestly. 'At least it didn't come to life and tried to ruin these ruins.'
"I have a feeling we will be meeting again. But for now, I must take my leave." Nocta left the ruins in search of more history. Dark Pit decided to keep his new ability until he could gloat to Pit when he mentions it.
Nocta was a very nice woman. Even if she was old, she could still be a friend. Dark Pit closed his eyes and tried to drift off to sleep.
'Pit-stain is definitely going to have a hard time sleeping, so I better get some rest.
"Pit, you're trembling a little. Are you still freaked out about having a glimpse of the Underworld?" Ignis asked in caution. The two just left the hot springs and were heading to their rooms.
"A bit. Even though I actually been to the Underworld before, the fact that it could scare Pittoo give me the chills," Pit answered. He's still worried about what he will see.
"Don't worry about it too much; I'll help you out of it in the morning. Lady Palutena is pretty good at counseling too so you don't have to worry about having horrible flashbacks later."
"I hope I sleep tonight. Not that I want to, but I have a feeling that I'll need my energy tomorrow."
"Good instincts. Well, I'll see you in the morning, probably screaming, but yeah."
The two angels left their rooms. Pit placed his stuff on a chair and hopped into bed.
"I hope that this won't be as freaky as Hade's stomach or the time I had to face the Subspace. That blue guy scared the light out of me." Pit slapped his forehead when he realized that he was talking to himself again. 'Might as well get some sleep.'
HADES IS MARRIED? What else will i think of. Anyway please review
