Hopefully the wait wasn't too long for you guys! By the way, sorry if the Dark Pit scene is a little confusing (though I think this takes place after Dark Pit finishes off the Underworld Gatekeeper, and before Pit gets turned into a ring). If you want some clarifications, please direct your Q's to Thepictoad (ID:4286401). Thank you for your coöperation!

Enjoy!

Chapter Four: Sorry to Keep YOU Waiting!

Dark Pit Pov

As I'm walking out of the weapon shop, I get surrounded by three thugs. Heh, perfect time to test out this brand new Silver Bow.

I shoot an arrow at one of the thugs. He crumples for a moment.

I dash towards the second thug, then spin my bow at blinding speed, scoring multiple, deep gashes on him.

I look at the third and yawn. He's running away.

I laugh.

Then fall to the ground in anguish and pain.

Phosphora POV

Well, I should see what Viridi's doing now.

I say to the Pool, "Viridi, goddess of nature."

... I feel like a stalker.

It shows her walking with a woman and her daughter, talking.

Wow, you sure know how to act, Viridi.

Suddenly, I hear the Nature Temple's Main Hall doors creak open.

Magnus POV

What's wrong with Angel Face? He's not very cheerful today...

"Angel Face! What's wrong? You aren't very cheerful today!

"Oh, Magnus, I just miss someone, that's all."

Who could that be?

"Is it your goddess?" I press.

Pit POV

In a way, yes, Magnus. But you'll have to be a little more specific.

"Yeah."

"Wanna walk around a bit, Pit?" I hear him ask.

"Sure! Cool!"

There's a flash of light, and now I can see everything!

Including a very familiar head of blonde, corn-silk colored hair.

She looks so much like Viridi! But there are minor features that deny it. Must be a big Goddess of Nature fan, despite Viridi's efforts to exterminate them.

Including the one I'm controlling now.

Seeing the girl over there makes me miss Viridi even more.

Viridi POV

I see that muscular human stare at me. His lips are moving. They're saying,

"I miss you..." something? "The first letters were Vi- or somewhat like that."

Oh well, time to break away from the human.

Once she turns a corner, I duck into an alley. Good thing I have my staff. It's dark and intimidating here.

As if on cue, I hear footsteps coming closer.

Dammit.

Magnus POV

"Angel Face! What was that all about?" I question, puzzled.

"Hm? Oh, that's one of my... friends." He replies.

Hmm... His voice dropped on "friends." I wonder...

"I really need to get back in my body, Magnus," Pit says.

"Yeah, I've heard that a lot ever since we got defeated by your body."

"Again, don't blame me! Blame the stupid move set!" He shouts.

Right. The new-and-improved-moveset.

Look out Pit's Body, Puppet Captain of Possessed Palutena's Guard.

Dark Pit POV

Note to self: never get stuck in Soul-Limbo again.

I feel like dying.

But that's not possible. Yet.

Pit's soul needs to be destroyed before that can happen.

So hurry up and get your sacred buns back in your body, Puppet.

Hades POV

Oh, my! Pitty got turned into a ring? I suppose everyone's going to blame me after what happened here.

Blasted Chaos Kin!

Oh well, let's go send some Skuttlers and Clubberskulls after the Chaos Kin and see what happens!

Viridi POV

It was all I had to keep from hugging the human that supposedly Pit was controlling. That was a very unique ring he had on too. It sort of looked like...

Oh no.

After Pyrrhon said "It's all in the book of divine prophecy, blah blah," I decided to do a little digging. I saw a description about a ring, and a corrupt being.

Reminiscence

"Hmmm? What's this?"

There is a being

A being so destructive, so horrendous

A being that is able to seal and devour souls

In rings and its foul belly

It is beyond ugly, words simply cannot describe it.

The ring can only appear as this:

Reminiscence

The ring was identical. The ring is Pit.

And I have to save him.

Phosphora POV

After practicing enough with this Phosphora Bow, I decide to suggest a sparring match to Arlon.

"Arlon! You wanna test out your Orbitars?"

"Yes, Miss Phosphora!" That would be delightful!"

"Then come and spar with me!"

Silence.

"O-Of course Miss Phosphora."

Was that a stutter? oh well.

Pit POV

Alright, let's go and find my body. If I was a lifeless zombie where would I go-

Boom!

There's an explosion, and would you know it? It's... It's...

Random Centurion POV

I wish we didn't have to do this.

I liked the funny, warmhearted and kind humans

But the Goddess of Light must have seen a very disturbing event to turn like this now.

Oh, that's my cue, to fly out of the door to kill.

I pray to the Goddess of Light for my survival.

Hades POV

Well, that didn't go very well. Again.

The Chaos Kin was apparently smart enough to use the Skuttlers as shields, so the Clubberskulls just walked over them and killed them.

I'll send Twinbellows to go defeat it. He's my weakest servant, and I didn't really care if he lived or died.

Let's just sit back, and make some popcorn!

Viridi POV

I'm hungry.

I walk into a little breakfast restaurant, and sit down to order some eggs, orange juice, sausage, and a bagel.

It's a good thing I was taught how to pickpocket by Phosphora. That woman's wallet was going to come in handy now. I finish my meal, and walk outside.

I don't get two steps before a large, purple energy ball hits me.

I pull my blade-staff out and slice though the Mik that shot it in an instant.

Hold it! If there's one Underworld enemy, that usually means there's...

I look up to see a cohort of Underworld spawn approaching the town.

...More... oh shoot.
