Chapter 7

0o0o0o0

It's been about a week since the two angels had started living with the Goddess of light and quickly they started to get used to living in the floating palace. Pit and Collin were playing hide and seek in the garden, apparently the garden had a lot of things. There was an old yet still functioning tire swing, an odd type of swing to have at the goddesses temple but the two angels didn't judge.

"Hey Collin," the younger brunette said. "What is it Pit?" The emerald eyed angel responded, "Is there any other angels living near this place? It would get lonely if it's just the two of us." Collin would agree with Pit on that one, it would get boring if there isn't any other angels around their age to befriend or play with.

Collin tried to remember if there were any angels living near the temple, his memory of the place was a little foggy since he's only been here a few times. Then he remembered, "Actually there is a small village somewhere around here that I can remember." Pit was excited to hear that from his older brother, "Really there is! Oh Collin can we go there right now? Please big brother!"

"Hold on Pit, let me ask Lady Palutena first." Collin looked into the pool of water and dipped his hand in the water, he focused on his angel ability to try to communicate with the goddess using the fountain water. This was an ability some angels can do, most angels possess an ability, in Collin's case he has the ability to communicate with others through a source of water.

Finally an image of Palutena appeared in the water, "What is it Collin?" The goddess asked the older brunette. "Pit and I wanted to go to that nearby village." The goddess smiled, "Of course you two can go, also don't get lost." The younger brunette then went next to the older angel, "Thank you Lady Palutena!" She smiled, "No problem Pit, now go along now and don't get lost. We ya later you two."

Then the image of Palutena disappeared the crystal blue eyed angel tuned to his older brother and asked, "Collin I didn't know you had an ability, you're so lucky!" Collin ruffled Pit's chocolate brown hair, "Don't worry Pit one day you'll find your hidden ability someday."

Actually Pit I already figured out your hidden ability but you don't remember. The older angel thought. "I hope I find out sooner, like 5 minutes of so." Both angels started laughing but Collin was the first to stop, "Let's go now Pit."

~Meanwhile at the orphanage~

The Headmistress, Miss Honey, was in her office it was dim in there and the lady was acting off. She looked pale and had her hands on her head as if she didn't want to hear something but not a single angel was in the room besides her.

S-stop it. It's painful! Leave me alone! She said in her head, she didn't have the strength to even talk.

A very eerie voice started to talk to the women,~Oh but I need someone to use as a vessel, just give in you know you can't hold it in anymore~ Miss Honey looked around to see if anyone was in her office but a no one was there. Just then a dark eerie purple shadow appeared behind the woman. Miss Honey flinched in fear or the dark presence she felt. She blamed her ability to see and speak to wandering souls because of her ability she could also feel the presence of a soul. An ability ancient yet it could be a frightening one to have also.

The young woman finally couldn't keep the spirit from attempting to take over her body. Her features started to change little by little,~ Don't worry Serena Honey, it hasn't activated yet for a takeover. But it won't be for long.~

A lady came into the room, "Mistress are you alright I thought I heard a voice in here?" Miss Honey smiled at the lady, "Oh I'm alright and the voice was me thinking out loud sorry about that." The lady left the room and everything went back to Miss Honey suffering and trying to resist the dark soul from taking over her.

Now back at the village with Pit and Collin

"We're here now Pit." Pit looked around he was amazed at all the stores, food stands, houses, and villagers there. "WOW it looks so lively here and the angels here seem to enjoy themselves." Collin held his younger brother's hand and brought him to where most children would play around.

Wow so many kids here, it's just like the playground at the orphanage but this one is a park! Pit thought. He liked to experience new things no matter where he was. Heck, the two just started playing hide and seek with some kids as soon as they got there.

Pit was looking for a hiding spot when he stumbled upon some sort of garden. He felt and saw an eerie dark purple shadow and started to follow it, he followed it until he saw a lever like object appearing before him. The shadow looked at him, ~So you're the one... I see~ Pit was confused at what the dark shadow had said to him. The one what does it mean, the one what? The brunette wondered.

The shadow had an idea, ~Oh young man I have been cursed by a wicked witch and the only one who can free me from this curse is someone like you~ The Angel looked at the dark shadow, "Someone like me?" The shadow got closer to the young angel, ~Yes someone of your ability, all you have to do is pull the lever~

The angel looked at the shadow in surprise, "Wait you can tell what ability I have!" ~Yes I can see it in your soul now pull the lever and the curse is gone I'll tell you what ability you, young man have~

Lady Palutena' s chamber

The emerald haired goddess looked at her magical mirror and felt the strange presence is gone. Then she decided to see what the two angels were doing, she was Collin hiding and assumed they were planning hide and seek. Then she checked up on Pit when she gasped, "What is Pit doing it the forbidden garden!? That place is dangerous for a child like him to be at!"

The goddess looked closer and was more in shock, "No it can't be, not-" Palutena calmed herself for a second, "I have to get Pit out of there and fast!"

Back to where Collin is now

Why do I have a feeling that I need to go find Pit? Collin thought. After his thought he was found and all was left was to find Pit. In this rule of hide and seek if you were found you have to help find more people who are still hiding.

Collin followed his instinct and soon he saw Pit, "Hey Pit found ya! Now let's go back-" Wait where are we this isn't part of the park! And we're not even at the village! Wait is that Miss Honey. The older angel put his hand on the crystal blue eyed angel and noticed something was wrong.

Miss Honey appeared looking weak and pale with strange markings on her face. "W-what am I d-doing here?" The older angel looked at her she just came out of nowhere.

Then he heard someone in heels running, "No don't do it Pit!" Collin looked back, Lady Palutena? What's going on here?!

Pit was in a trance, ~Yes now pull the lever child~ the angel pulled it and Pit came back to reality. "Huh? Collin, Lady Palutena what are you doing here?" Pit said in a soft voice.

"Aaarrgghh!" All eyes were on Miss Honey, the woman was in pain but not long after she stopped. Now she was laughing, slowly her voice started changing from soft voice to dark and wicked voice. "Thanks a lot brat!" Pit and Collin were shocked at what the jet haired woman, it was out of her nature to even say such a thing!

Palutena stepped back "No. Why." Which caused both brothers to step back also. "W-What happen to Miss Honey Lady Palutena?" Pit asked in fear.

Finally Miss Honey transformed into a woman with raven hair with snakes in her hair. A long purple robe with gold adoring her. Pit was immobilized in fear. Collin looked at the frightened angel, "What's wrong Pit?"

"I-It's the lady from my nightmare!" Collin got confused, "How is that even possible!?" Palutena became serious, "Medusa has been revived." Both angels turned to the goddess, "M-Medusa the goddess of d-darkness!" "Yes that's me." Everyone looked at the dark goddess, "Now then, shall we get started?" Medusa used her scepter and in seconds everyone drifted into sleep.

Hours Later

Palutena woke up in her chamber, "Was that a dream?" She felt chains around her wrists and even her ankles! Then the goddess realized, "No it wasn't a dream at all!" "That's right, oh goddess of light!" In the shadows appeared Medusa, "Thanks to that brat I now have a body."

Palutena was shocked, "A body? You didn't die from what happened 8,000 years ago?!" The dark goddess smirked, "I survived it, all you did was destroy my body. Remember Palutena gods don't die that easily."

The goddess of light went into tears, "Then that means h-his death was meaningless..." the other goddess raised her eyebrow, "Oh you mean your so called champion, hmph more like a puppet to me."

Medusa put her hand on her hip and said their final words to the goddess before she disappeared, "Well no one can save you now not even your champion or magic can now." More tears came out of the goddess as she had lost hope at that moment.

Now at the underworld with Pit and Collin

"Pit, Pit, Pit wake up!" The brunette woke up from the voice of his older brother, "Ugh, where are we big brother?" "I don't know but we're locked in this cell." Just as the older angel finished Medusa appeared from the darkness. "You two have awakened I see."

Pit didn't say a word but Collin asked, "Why did you do all of this!?" The goddess laughed, "Revenge boy. And I couldn't have done it without the angel who bears the ability of a champion!" Pit finally had the courage to speak, "T-The angel who bears the ability of a champion?"

Collin recalled an ability like that before, Wait, no it can't be can it?! The ability of a champion, it does explain who he could have defeated Twinbellows. But he's just so young to be caught up in all this. Medusa then answered the younger brunette, "Well since you're doomed anyway I might as well tell you. Since all angels have an ability, this one in particular is the rarest and strongest ability. Only angels who bear it are blessed with the strength of almost as strong as a God. And the next angel to be the goddess of light's champion."

M-me no that can't be it. I'm not strong at all. How do I know if she's telling the truth- "Also to be sure this ability is confirmed I searched for an angel who possesses this ability to release myself and get a new body. Thanks to Serena Honey she helped me make that happen without her realizing it, and used that Orphanage of hers to activate the effect-"

"What effect from the Orphanage?!" Collin Interrupted. Medusa laughed again, "The orphans were the power supply!" "What?!" Both brunettes said. "Yes u heard me, also to activate the effect I also have to use a lot of angel energy. No one was spared, the only ones why we're saved from it were children who were adopted before the effect!"

Collin noticed a puddle of water and tried to see if he could contact Palutena but the goddess noticed him doing so and decided to shoot a beam at him. Pit saw her shoot a dark purple beam at his older brother, he was about to run and push him out of the way. Only to find out both him and his brother were chained up, "Collin watch out!"

The angel turned to see the beam hit him. Then slowly started to turn to stone. Pit tried to get as close as he can to his brother with tears flowing from him. Collin hugged Pit and stroked his hair, "Don't worry about me Pit." Pit still crying, "How can I if you're turning to stone?!" The emerald eyed angel said in a soft voice, "It's all my fault you lost your memory."

"I-I don't care it is! You're my brother and I love you!" Collin said his final words before he turned completely to stone, "Goodbye Pit and don't forget about how to smile." The older angel closed his eyes and gave his younger brother a warm smile as he became a statue of stone.

Medusa left the place with Pit in the cell crying for his brother.

Minutes later the puddle then appeared Palutena with a shocked expression. "Pit is that you?! Please answer!" The brunette looked down at the puddle, "Yes Lady Palutena?" The used the last ounce of magic the goddess can use and transported her weapon, the Palutena bow, and also unlock both chains and cell door.

"Why does this thing look familiar?"

"It's my bow, use it to defeat Medusa And escape the underworld."

Pit wiped his tears, "Yes Lady Palutena as your soon to be champion I will defeat and save you Lady Palutena. Also when it's over can you teleport my brother's statue to Skyworld." The goddess smiled, "Yes I will Pit."

And that concludes this story. If you're wondering why I ended it with a sad ending its because in the first kid icarus game pit is at the underworld and that's why I ended it there. And Pit uses Palutena's bow to get to Medusa and defeat her with the three sacred treasures. If you only played Kid Icarus uprising or never played the first game this ending would have confused some of you, if I hadn't explained why.
