~Ch.9 Same Dream~
Nikki PoV
I regained consciousness, but with the feeling that I was drunk. My mind was fuzzy and my vision kind of blurred. I know the experience of being drunk because my idiotic father gave me some weird stuff to drink. I didn't know what it was called, and I didn't really care. I looked around and only felt cold ground. I soon saw a white figure in front of me, who appeared to be asleep. I could only think of one other person that had wings on his back. It was Pit!
"P-Pit…hey, Pit, wake up…" I lightly shook the sleeping angel.
My vision started to clear up and I was relieved that Pit was here. But then, that would lead to the question of why he was here, and who took him here. I noticed Pit's eyelids fluttering, and when I looked into his eyes, they appeared hollow. I wanted to know what the hell happened to him, and what happened to me. I looked at where we were at, and it appeared to be a cell with dark rocks as our ceiling, walls, and floor. Of course, with the exception of prison cells being our last wall.
I tried to recall on what happened before I passed out. I was with Pittoo, and we were trying to find Pit and Palutena. Then the sky started turning dark, and then a twister appeared in front of us. The twister sucked me in and led me further away from the sky. I was soon grabbed by someone and that someone had to be Medusa. I tried asking her where Pit might be, but before I could get an answer from her, she soon disappeared. I fell farther to the ground, but I was caught again. Before I could see who caught me, I was soon seeing darkness.
I wonder what happened to Pittoo. Did he get sucked into the twister too? No, I doubt it because Viridi might've gotten him out of there at the last second. I'm glad he's safe, but how am I going to let him know that I've found Pit? I looked down at Pit and noticed that his eyelids were halfway open, revealing his soulless blue eyes. I noticed him looking at me and felt his hand on my shoulder.
"Pit, are you okay? What's happened to you? Why do you look weak? Did Medusa bring you here?" I kept asking him. I knew it was too many questions, but I had to know what happened.
"…Hades…has been…resurrected… Medusa's gone…but t-there's…a fake one of her…" Pit answered one of my questions.
"What do you mean there's a fake one? Will Pittoo and Viridi be able to tell the difference?"
"U-Unsure… Nikki…I don't…f-feel well. M-My energy's been…sucked out…"
I cursed under my breath. I bet Hades used Pit's energy to create a fake Medusa. I wonder why that he wouldn't just make another Medusa under his will. But then again, if he did try to resurrect her, then that would mean Medusa would repeat her actions just like the last time. I bet that's why Hades used Pit's energy; to create a brand new Medusa. She would probably obey to whatever command he had.
I wanted to help out Pit, but how could I? If there were a way to transfer energy over to Pit, then I would do it without hesitation. Wait a minute; wouldn't Phosphora be in my thoughts? I wanted to ask Pit if he could talk with Palutena, but I didn't want to bother him with another pointless question. I looked outside the cell to be sure that no one was around, and sat beside Pit once more.
"Phosphora, can you hear me?" I asked aloud in a hushed tone.
"I can hear you loud and clear, Nikki. Are you feeling okay?" Phosphora asked me.
"Yeah, I'm feeling better now. Can you contact Palutena?"
"I've been trying to ever since you wound up here, but I couldn't get to her. I've tried contacting Viridi, but that didn't work either."
"Damn it…do you know who put me here in this cell?"
"I believe Hades did…and I think he sucked up all of Pit's energy. I think if I tried teasing him, he wouldn't respond in a flustered manner."
"…I'm not gonna respond to that."
"Then respond to this; what if Hades sucks your energy as well?"
"To be honest…I really don't know."
I wanted to hit a wall, but that would resort into me having bloody knuckles. I can't be losing my blood now at a time like this! I groaned and laid myself on the cold rocky ground next to Pit. I looked up at the rock ceiling and thought about Pittoo. I wanted him to find me, but I don't know how to contact him. If Phosphora can't contact anyone, then I couldn't either. I sighed and closed my eyes to dream.
I saw a thick cloud of mist surrounding me. I floated around and eventually saw another figure along my path. I kept going towards the figure, and I started to make out that this person was an angel. But then I thought of Pit, and how he couldn't be in a place like this. I tried thinking of who this might be, and then I realized that it had to be Dark Pit. I was about a few feet away from the figure, and I know for a fact it was Dark Pit.
"Pittoo…can you hear me?" I asked him.
"Surprisingly, yeah…how could I be talking to you?" Dark Pit asked me.
"…could it be the work of one of the goddess'?"
"Maybe…where are you? Are you okay? Did you find Pit?"
"I'm in a cellar, and don't worry, I'm fine. I found Pit, but…he's almost lifeless… Hades sucked out a lot of energy from him to make a new Medusa. But this snake head is different from the other one. She'll obey to whatever command Hades might have for her."
"Damn it! If you two have been captured by Hades, then that must mean you're in the underworld. It won't be easy, but I will find you."
"Just make a plan first before you do anything risky, okay?"
Pittoo nodded in response and tried to hug me, but our bodies went through each other. We couldn't touch or feel each other, but we could communicate with the power of one of the goddess'. I gave a small smile at Dark Pit before he vanished in front of my eyes.
I awoke by snapping my eyes wide open. I looked over at Pit, being in the same position he was in before. I placed my hand over his head, but when I did, I saw something glow from within me into him. I jerked my hand away from him, but I noticed something flicker in his eyes. I placed my hand over his forehead and looked at his eyes the entire time. They were once soulless, but now they were starting to fill up with life.
A few minutes later, I moved my hand away from his forehead. In no time, Pit was suddenly upbeat and positive. Unfortunately, I felt really weak, and maybe this was what Pit felt before. Pit looked back at me and went into a state of panic. I unwillingly laid myself back down on the rocky surface. Pit tried his best to keep me awake, but the heaviness of my eyelids gave way. I went under once again.
Pit PoV
I looked over at Nikki and she looked…well, not herself. I looked into her eyes and noticed that they were soulless. She looked about as weak as I did. I tried making her stay awake, but she went unconscious. Why did she do that for me, though? I didn't deserve her kindness, after I left her and Pittoo back in Skyworld. What did happen to Palutena? I looked around the cell, and made sure no one was around.
"Lady Palutena, can you hear me?" I asked aloud in a slightly hushed tone.
"Pit, you've come to your senses!" Palutena said with joy.
"Hey, can you talk with Viridi or Phosphora?"
"No…it seems that I can't. I know that Nikki wanted to know if Phosphora contacted me, but we apparently can't speak to one another. I guess that's just bad service!"
"Heh…anyway, do you remember what happened to me?"
"No, I'm afraid I don't. I'm so sorry Pit; that you're in this position."
"Please don't apologize! I was the one that wanted to find Medusa and rid of her, once and for all!"
"I understand that, but I only feel guilty after what happened… I would recommend that you get some rest. You might need it."
I nodded in response and laid on the rocky surface next to Nikki. I looked over at her and noticed that she was breathing deeply. I looked away from her and looked out of the cell we're in. I hoped that we would get out of here soon, because Nikki needs more help than I do right now. With my troubled thoughts, I tried falling asleep.
