Viridi woke up snuggled against Sequoia, wrapped lovingly in his arms. She quietly escaped his grasp and spruced up her dress, as it had gotten wrinkled the night before. She left him a new Rose Staff she grew propped up against his bed. Viridi's thoughts drifted to what Pit had told her the previous day. Palutena had not ignored Sequoia originally, but rather had to attend to other matters. She planned to explain that to him when he wakes up. He looked so adorable asleep... Well, time to go prepare for the upcoming battle. Viridi had scheduled a rematch between Dark Pit and Sequoia for the next day. Dark Pit may have bested Psycho, but he wouldn't best Sequoia. Viridi was sure of that. She made sure the tele-kinetic warp drives were active at the arms altar so Sequoia could access the different weapons. Then sent Cragalanche to wake the sleeping warrior.
OoOoOoOo
Sequoia was woken up in one of the worst ways possible. He was lifted by a rocky giant and thrown against the wall. Sequoia quickly rose to his feet and glared daggers at the sentient boulder, who just did what Sequoia thought to be a shrug but looked more like a small spasm. Viridi's voice echoed in his head.
Sequoia, you know who you get to fight today?
Sequoia thought to himself. Probably Cragalanche or Phosphora. He went with Phosphora.
"Phosphora?"
Viridi's laugh echoed in his head.
Nope, you get to fight Dark Pit!
Sequoia felt a mixture of fear and excitement at the prospect of getting a rematch with his would-be killer. He settled on excitement.
"Mistress Viridi, what are the rules of the match?"
Viridi's laugh went through his head again.
Rules? There are none! There weren't any the first time and there aren't any now!"
Sequoia was thrilled at that thought. He donned his armor and set up the tele-kinetic warp connection. All he needed to do was think about changing his weapon and it would happen. He then tapped at the center of his chest plate, allowing the two back slits to open and his wings to unfurl and spread out. Pittoo wouldn't have the advantage this time. He ran to the Spiral Tower arena, ready to kick some ass.
"How long till he gets here?"
Viridi's tone carried a touch of urgency when she replied.
Three seconds! Move!
Sequoia had barely moved out of the way when Dark Pit came down to the point where he had just been standing. Sequoia felt that it was time to bring the pain.
Viridi Claws!
Three long, black claws colored red at the tips expanded from two red and black gauntlets with flowers placed on the center that had just materialized on Sequoia's hands. He slashed five times at Dark Pit, then buried the left claw in Dark Pit's stomach and spinning, catapulting the angel away as he wiped the blood off his claws. Dark Pit got up and growled at Sequoia, anger filling his whole body. His wings flashed and grew a purple tint as the Dark Angel flew towards his prey, who was smiling.
Why the hell is he smiling? I'm about to kill him!
Sequoia leaped up into the air, his white feathers carrying him into the air in large, powerful flaps.
Viridi Palm!
Sequoia's sleeve folded back as ink flowed across his right arm, with a picture of Viridi painted just below the elbow and a heart painted on the back of the hand and upper forearm materialized on Sequoia's right arm, while flower petals in the shape of hearts flowed around his arm. Dark Pit laughed at the girlishness of its appearance, but was cut off when Sequoia gripped his throat tightly with his right arm, the weapon sending waves of pain through Dark Pit at its mere touch, and causing a small sheet of blood to appear where he gripped his neck. Sequoia's voice bellowed at the dark angel about three feet from him.
"Do not insult Mistress Viridi!"
Sequoia tossed Dark pit higher into the air, then flew about a meter above the dark angel when he changed his weapon.
Cragalanche Cannon!
A giant rock formed onto Sequoia's right arm, ending with a red-colored barrel at the end. Sequoia unleashed a massive shot at his foe, causing Dark Pit to be launched back into the ground with a sickening thud. Sequoia had blasted him so far away that he couldn't reach him anymore.
Rose Staff!
A large rose with thorns running along its barrel appeared in Sequoia's right hand as his sleeve expanded again. He took aim for the fallen angel who was rising to his feet as he coughed up a little more blood, then sent a rose-like shot which collided directly with Dark Pit's chest. Sequoia descended from his flight near Dark Pit, outstretching a hand and showing a smile as he helped the bloodied angel to his feet.
"No hard feelings?"
Dark Pit smiled, and opened his mouth to answer him, then stabbed his bow into Sequoia's stomach. The dark angel drew his red, stained blade from the warrior, allowing him to collapse onto his knees grasping at the wound. Dark Pit cackled loudly for a while until his laughs turned into a gasp as Sequoia rose to his feet, a trickle of blood escaping the corner of his mouth. Sequoia grabbed Dark Pit's bow and separated it, stabbing one end into the dark angel's ribs, and the other into his crotch.
"I told you I'd shove that damned bow in an unholy area, didn't I?"
Dark Pit didn't have time to reply as Palutena warped him back to Skyworld to be revived. Sequoia dropped the two bloodied swords to the ground, blacking out and falling into a small puddle of blood that had escaped from his stab wound.
Sequoia wasn't conscious long enough to see the beacon of light with leaves scattered within its radius bring him back to the temple.
Sorry if I went overboard with the gore. I'd like to thank Mohawkman2233 for the idea of changing weapons and some of the ways to make a good fight scene. If I have ever needed an idea, now would definitely be said time. I don't wish to end the story yet, because if I did I would just make a sequel, as I have grown rather fond of the characters.
