Oh jeez… IT'S THE FINAL BATTLE! (Not.) GRAB THE POPCRON AND DRINKS CUZ THIS ONES GONNA BE A DOOZY! I'm also grabbing various stuff that will relieve my symptoms from the disease that the Trinity Trio sent in their infected reviews. JK but I am sick. I don't own KIU or anything that has to do with zombies. I just own you. Y!
Pit was cheered up when the other angels showed him the Three Sacred Treasures. He geared up and so did everyone else. Pit had a Roman Centurion Helmet, Sandals that now had wings a glowing blue shield and a huge bow with purple and blue lights shining out of it. They headed for the door.
"Are you guys ready for the final battle?" Palutena asked.
"It's now or never!"
"Since using both the Power of Flight and the Pegasus Wings seems like overkill, I turned them off. Plus, who knows how reliable they are after twenty-five years," Palutena informed Pit. Pit jumped out. The others followed except for Exo.
"Wait a moment! I have a surprise for you," Mars ordered.
A light-blue machine with a slot that had three gears inside appeared. A faint jingle could be heard.
"Pack-a-Punch?" Exo asked curiously, "Like from Angel Ops: Zombies?"
"Not exactly. I had to pull a few strings to get it here," Mars said vaguely.
Somewhere near Breslau, Germany…
"Where the fuck did the Pack-a-Punch machine go?!" said an angry blonde marine.
Back with Exo…
"Well, put your Wolf Claws in for a completely nonsensical transformation," Mars said.
Exo used 5000 hearts to use the machine. He put his Wolf claws into the slot. The jingle played louder now and a flag that said 'Please wait' popped up.
Friends, Neighbors, Ladies, Gentlemen
If you're feelin' underpowered,
I'll help you make amends.
Stick your weapon in the slot
And let it change your luck.
Few things can be guaranteed in life,
But I promise this won't suck.
Exo smiled and tapped his foot. Half to the song and half because of impatience.
Punch your fist into the air
And raise the rebel yell.
There's lotsa baduns out there,
That you need to send to hell.
With Pack-a-Punch,
I have a hunch,
You problems will be gone.
But if you end up without your soul,
Sing a country western song.
The new weapon came out from the machine and fell into Exo's hands.
"Introducing, the Combat Bow. It has three modes all at your command! It can be a bow, duh. It can be a sniper rifle when you say just that. Finally, it can transform into two extremely sharp knives. I'm out. Peace!" Mars said quickly.
The machine and Mars' voice disappeared. Exo examined the new weapon. It was blood red with black tiger stripes. The arrows let off an 'I'm extremely deadly' aura.
Exo took off and caught up to the others. Palutena had just finished telling Pit not to get cocky with the Arrows of Light. Exo showed off by saying 'sniper-rifle' and taking out numerous enemies. While the others gawked, Palutena figured out a way to get to the underworld.
"This ravine will take us to the underworld," she announced. Everyone sped down into the gorge's gaping mouth.
"Look at those Trail Tails," Rio said pointing up ahead.
"Those lines will hurt," Anubis guessed.
"Shoot them, dudes," cried Cloak.
"Don't shoot!" Rio hissed. The Trail Tails where long gone but now there were dangerous Shootflies.
"Shootflies will react to your fire," Palutena said in a hushed tone.
"Use melee attacks," Muse advised. Exo's bow broke in half. He sliced silently with two gleaming knives. Eos ran around mouthing an evil laugh. Everyone tried not to giggle at how stupid she looked.
"Okay. We're clear of Shootfly territory," Palutena said. Everyone went back to the regularly scheduled butt-kicking.
"ORNES," Xiaolung shouted. Exo tried something. So did Pit. They both fired. The blue floating skulls esploded into light.
"Did you see that?" the two said simultaneously.
"What did you do to your weapon?" Naughtia asked Exo.
"I infused it with a zombifying element," Exo said happily.
"Okay," Kiyuga said flying away from him. Suddenly, the craggy cliff walls gave away. There was a spiraling formation of gray bricks. Suddenly, the gem in Pit's back pocket began shining.
"The gem is glowing," Skye announced.
"That means it's working. Here we go!" Palutena yelled.
A huge purple eye appeared out of the darkness. The angels all screamed as they flew at high speeds into the cornea of it. They came out into a dark world with red deserts and mountains, lava lakes, and other apocalyptic settings.
Group upon group of Gyrazers, Octos', and Monoeyes charged the group of heroes. They were about to be overwhelmed when another source of pain shot through the enemies. It was their dark copies. Dark Eos and Muse flew up with the Mirror of Truth shard.
"Smile!" evil Eos and Muse said.
Cloak and Anubis saw their reflections in the mirror. Cloak's reflection gained a bloody knife and a devious smile. Dark Cloak ran up behind enemies to stab them in the back. Anubis' reflection became stooped over because it had countless headstones on his back. He threw the headstones while saying things like 'Whoops I was too late.' Or 'Eos beat me' or 'My parent's deaths are my entire fault'.
"What are you doing here?" Pit asked his dark copy.
"The same thing you're doing. Kicking butts and taking names. Except better," Dark Pit said haughtily.
"Or you darkies sensed that we needed help," Ixchel said.
"What did you just call us?" Dark Exo growled.
"It doesn't matter. We're out!" Dark Ixchel announced.
The darkies flew off to destroyinate more underworlders.
"Let's go!" Palutena said.
The seraphim flew up a mountain. Suddenly, it got pitch black. Medusa appeared in holographic giant form.
"So you made it this far," Medusa said.
"You better check yourself before you wreck yourself," Pit cheered.
"Well isn't that just precious," Medusa taunted. She had unnaturally pale skin with black lips, eyes, and eye shadow. She wore a purple toga, had one burnt claw hand like Dark, and had 30 green snakes and one gold snake for hair.
"I guess it's all that hot air that keeps you afloat. You may be darling but you'll need more than bluster to defeat me!" she yelled.
"Um… Rio?" Dark asked.
"Darling- to be favored or preferred. I'm guessing she meant that and not the term of affection. That would be gross," Rio answered.
The giant medusa disappeared and a huge black and red castle appeared. When the angels approached, a force field appeared around the castle. Suddenly, a white robot appeared out of nowhere. It had wings and Triforces and blue wings. It had five weapons mounted on it.
"What is that?!" Pit asked.
"It's the last line of defense keeping us from entering the castle," Palutena said.
"We must defeat it!" Xiaolung yelled.
The Underworld Gatekeeper fired its complete arsenal. The battle was brutal. The guardian would either shoot its various weaponry or try to smack them away by zooming at them at high speeds. The angels eventually destroyed the most of the weapons on the machine. Now, it didn't appear to be taking damage.
"Are we doing any damage?" Exo asked.
Suddenly, Dark Pit swooped in and face-kicked the robot. It exploded and Dark Pit fist-pumped.
"That's how you take out a boss," he said proudly.
"For future reference, face-kicking isn't usually this effective," Palutena warned.
"Get a move on. We'll keep enemies from entering the castle," Dark Exo hissed.
"The darkies are right. Even though they're telling us what to do, we should move quickly," Palutena said.
"Thanks, darkies," the angels said.
"STOP CALLING US THAT!" the darkies yelled as they flew off in different directions.
The real angels giggled and charged for the castle entrance.
MIDSTAGE PROGRESS
QUICK DO WHATEVER YOU NEED TO!
E.g. take out the trash, play a video game level, watch the Olympics (USA!)
TOO LATE!
The angels landed in a dark red castle foyer. It had a small flight of stairs going down and then opened up into a hot spring. Three statues and three doors were spaced around the healing pool.
"HOTSPRING," said every angel. A stampede ensued leaving few limping towards the hot spring.
While everyone lounged in the celestial hot tub, Xiaolung thought of something logical.
"There is a statue for every door. The statues depict a boss that we've already fought. Let's split up into groups to go faster," he said.
"That sounds reasonable," Palutena commented.
"Okay. Rio, Anubis, Cloak, Dark and Pit will go together for the Twinbellows room. Eos, Naughtia, Xiaolung, and Muse will go to the Hewdraw room. Kiyuga, Ixchel, Skye, and I will go to the Pandora room. Clear?" Exo said.
They all split up and entered the rooms.
MIDSTAGE PROGRESS
Wow, that was quick. One right after another.
…
…
ONWARD!
The first group warped to a weird version of the first town where they fought Twinbellows. The skies were red and the buildings were black.
A Zurret fired on them. They sprang into action. Pit noticed a Fire Wyrm flying dangerously close overhead. Pit, Anubis, and Cloak blasted at the skeletal flaming behemoth. Dark and Rio shot the Zurret and dodged its fire. Soon the two foes were dispatched.
Anubis and Cloak had gotten a special order from Exo to keep Pit away from Dark until further notice. They couldn't have any emotional breakdowns in an enemy fortress.
They ran into an area that the Zurret was blocking. Pit shot a Shrip without even looking. The group ran into a collapsed pillar, but turned to see another way. There was a 'Squishy'. Rio and Anubis shot at it only for it to duck. The Reaper that was hidden by the 'Squishy' was blasted in the face. It growled before freaking out and sending Reapettes.
"Fuck you Squishy!" Rio said dodging some blood thirsty mini-reapers.
Dark rescued her older sister. Everyone now turned on the Reaper. It realized its mistake. Never anger a mixed-up team of teenage angels. It howled before disintegrating into hearts.
They surrounded the Nettler. They all blasted it simultaneously. They entered the next room through a door. It was a rising path that curved slightly. A low growl was heard. The angels slowly turned around. There stood a very angry Clubberskull.
"Run!" Pit yelled.
"Keep your distance but go in for melees if you can," Palutena advised.
"Or I could use the new item I just found," Anubis said. He threw 'Lightning of Judgment' down and huge bolts of lightning rained down on the wicked. The Clubberskull was defeated.
The next room had weird tree-like monsters with a pendant that shot petrifying death-rays. I don't know what they're called because I refuse to get up and get my 3DS to check. Man, I'm so lazy.
It only took a couple of blasts and timed dodges to defeat the thingies-mah-bobs. They saw the two sets of stairs. One had an Orne patrolling it and the other had some Skuttlers. Pit went on the Orne path while the others engaged the Skuttlers.
The two stairs merged. Pit was humming 'Rocky' and showed off his new Meteor Shower power. He decided to use it on some Skuttlers that were guarding some Exo Tanks. White hot comets crashed down on the Skuttlers, completely annihilating them.
The group gave him a thumbs-up and they hopped into the Exo Tanks. Rio noticed something about Pit.
"What happened to your stuff?" she asked.
"I don't know," Pit said observing that he was in his normal toga now.
They charged up the large stairs, kabobbing enemies or shooting them. When they reached the top, thirty Shemun and one Clubberskull appeared.
"Another Clubberskull!" Palutena cried.
"We'll take care of this, ma'am," Cloak announced confidently.
They drove circles around the underworlders. The only real worry was the Clubberskull. They just kept speeding through it until it had a gaping hole in it. It moaned before falling back and disintegrated. The purple flame blocking the entrance to the coliseum died.
The group shared a Drink of the Gods and entered to fight *GASP* Twinbellows.
"Here boy!" Pit taunted.
"We're gonna teach you some new tricks!" Anubis said while shooting at the left head.
"If you're good, I'll take you on a walk!" Rio said joining in on the verbal abuse.
"And I'll give you a bath," Dark chimed in.
"And a treat, bro," Cloak said while dodging some flamethrower breath.
"We're gonna rack up some serious Nintendogs Points!" Pit said with anime eyes.
"Focus, guys," Palutena said.
The hellish dog charged the group but howled as it was shot right between the eyes. It staggered around before exploding.
"Good dog," Pit said.
MIDSTAGE PROGRESS
ONTO THE NEXT GROUP
(The Hewdraw one)
CHARGE!
Eos, Naughtia, Xiaolung, and Muse entered a weird version of That Burning Town. There was an eerie fog and everything was gray.
"Oh this place," Xiaolung said.
"Yeah, it looks like the place you fought Hewdraw," Mars said.
"Not you," Naughtia said while rolling her eyes.
"I'm not supposed to call you names. Wait why am I talking in italics? That's only for private mind conversations with Exo," Mars asked, "That's better."
The group was confused.
"No offense, but why are you here?" Muse asked Mars.
"Well, I wanted to talk to Exo's group but apparently he's already there so I need to enhance this plot," Mars said.
The group was still confused.
"Okay..?" Xiaolung said.
The group moved on down a cobblestone path. Some Miks and Monoeyes appeared but were quickly taken care of. Our heroes dropped down behind a Skuttler. Eos happily stabbed it with her Aquarius blade.
"Is this place an illusion?" Xiaolung asked. Medusa suddenly broke into their conversation.
"It's as real as I am. I built it using yours and Hewdraw's memories," Medusa explained.
"That's because you don't know what the town looked like," Mars teased.
"I don't believe I've had… the pleasure of meeting you," Medusa said slowly.
"Mars the God of War is the name. Doing whatever the hell I want is my game," the war god said.
"Right… No matter. You're on my domain so you'll play by my rules," Medusa said quickly.
"You seem to have forgotten my last sentence," Mars muttered.
The angels bounced over the tops of building using trampolines. They landed in a hexagonal platform. Xiaolung hopped in a cool gyroscopic vehicle and was about to destroy the Stackjaw when Mars cried out.
"I HATE THE WORLD AND FUCKING COMPUTERS THAT DELETE STUFF!" he shouted. Red lightning struck down from the heavens and red skeletons clawed their way up from the ground. The lightning disintegrated underworld enemies while the skeletons ripped them apart. When nothing was left, the lightning stopped and there was only some faint rumbling. The skeletons cackled before jumping into holes in the ground that sealed up after a minute.
Everyone stared.
"I feel way better now," Mars said cheerfully.
"Uhh…" Xiaolung tried to say.
"That thing you're riding in is an Aether ring. It has a shield if you press that glowing blue button," Mars explained, "Head down that manhole."
They noticed a hole had opened up. Naughtia, Eos, and Muse jumped down it while Xiaolung floated down it.
"Hey, there's a chest over there!" Muse exclaimed.
"I think Glow Stick can get it if he uses those ramps with the Aether whatever," Naughtia said.
Xiaolung frowned but flew across the gaps. He tossed some steak down to the girls. He was almost across the last gap when the Aether Ring blew up.
The girls laughed at him. He turned away and used a trampoline to exit the sewer. Eos and Muse kept laughing but Naughtia looked up calmly. She whacked a Skuttler corpse baseball-style into the wall with here Orb Staff.
"Watch it," she yelled up. The three bounced up to where Xiaolung was. He was leaning against a wall. He saw them and nodded towards a tray with three shot glasses full of Drink of the Gods.
"Compliments of Mars," he said drily.
Naughtia and Eos drank there portion like a shot while Muse awkwardly sipped hers.
"Hewdraw is in the next room," Mars announced.
A bolt from Lightning of Judgment suddenly hit Eos.
"WHAT THE HELL?" she shrieked.
"Well he did say it struck all of the wicked," Mars mumbled.
Eos growled and entered the lake area. Xiaolung, Muse, and Naughtia followed after a few seconds. When they entered, Eos was calmly standing on the beach while Hewdraw roared in her face. Xiaolung was about to yell for her to dodge when Eos threw a boom spear she had found at the beginning of the beach. It went right into Hewdraw Reborn's right eye. It esploded his brain. The end.
Eos pulled out a staples button. She pressed it. The motto sounded and she smiled evilly.
"That was anticlimactic," Muse said.
"I feel like we've really bonded, guys," Mars announced, "Eos suggested that I should have everyone for dinner. I think that sounds good. See you tonight."
The four were being transported back to the foyer, but three were glaring at one. Mars evilly cackled and everything turned black as they teleported.
MIDSTAGE PROGRESS
Ugh, I'm obsessed with Minecraft.
Anyway else play?
Say so in reviews please.
The third group (Exo, Kiyuga, Ixchel and Skye) ended up in a weird version of Pandora's Labyrinth. It was weird because it was a new area that was nowhere in the actual maze. It looked like the regular labyrinth. The walls were metallic blue and there were geometric shapes floating around everywhere.
A Souflee fell from the roof were it had been napping. It had a huge grin on its face until it noticed the group members. Exo took a shot at it. The frenemy teleported five feet away before somehow holding up a sign that said 'No Rio, No Service'. It made an indignant sound before teleporting away.
Exo had noticed that his missed shot had gone through the wall ahead. He walked up to it to test it, but a Sinistew grabbed his ankle and pulled him through the fake wall.
Ixchel cried out, "Ventus!" His weapon transformed into an experimental Palutena Blade that could transform into a portable version of the Gemini Orbitars and the Palutena Bow from SSBB with all of its abilities. Ixchel transformed his new weapon into the Palutena Bow knives and slashed at the Sinistew's pot.
Exo flew out and the pot crumbled into some hearts.
"Thanks," Exo gasped from the ground.
"What'd it do to you?" Kiyuga asked. Exo got up angrily and brushed himself off.
"I do NOT want to talk about it," Exo grumbled.
"That's strange. There are walkways on the roof," Skye pointed out. The group heard Exo from around a corner.
"What's this do?" he said.
"Oh great. Now where gonna-," Kiyuga started before the room flipped upside-down.
"What just happened?" Ixchel groaned while getting up.
"I touched a weird glowing light thing on the floor and the room flipped," Exo explained, "Somehow; I'm no longer surprised or shocked."
"I totally called that," Kiyuga exclaimed while shooting some Gyrazers.
Ugh, someone say 'Bless you'.
The group flipped again and exited the room. Gigantic Miks and Monoeyes floated in the center of the room. Everyone fired at them. Suddenly a dark portal opened up. A large amount of underworld troops poured out of the warp.
"Get down!" Exo commanded.
"They're everywhere!" Skye shouted, "I won't give in!"
"Paramush's at twelve o'clock," Kiyuga announced.
"I need some help with these Syrens," Ixchel cried.
"We're outnumbered. Spread out," Exo commanded.
The group did just that. Exo decided it was time for a knifing party. When he was done he noticed the others were too.
Skye had tricked the enemies long enough by running through a fake spike wall. The stupid Skuttlers and Miks scratched their heads (somehow) for a few seconds until they were blasted by Fire Flys.
Kiyuga had used his Exploding Tiger Eyes on groups of enemies until there were only a few to finish with the claws.
Ixchel went from knives to orbitars to bow as he increased the distance between his foes.
The coast was now clear and Exo called the group together. They found a door and entered a circular room with a hunk of metal in the middle.
"Dibs!" Skye said quickly. All the boys groaned. Skye smiled and jumped into the Cherubot.
"Follow me, suckers," she said entering the next room in the awesome robo-suit.
"I hate my lack of timing," Ixchel muttered.
"Well, we were all to slow," Exo said trying to cheer him up.
"I say we blow it up," Kiyuga grumbled.
"Nah, if a vehicle appears, it means a huge number of enemies are attacking. I programmed them to show up if there is a large amount of enemies," Exo explained.
They followed Skye. She was punching a Squishie and shooting a Shrip. The boys shrugged and spread out. Exo watched Skye's back by blasting Gyrazers before they could shoot her from behind. Kiyuga helped Skye with the Shrips by keeping them from slicing at the robot. Ixchel just went around stomping on Squishies. A few Snowmen fell from the sky and growled.
Skye hit the jump button on the Cherubot. It flew up five feet before dropping like a rock. Red electricity shot from where the machine landed. Snowmen flew back into the wall where they disintegrated. Skye smiled and exited the robot. It was out of fuel. The group entered the next room. There was a jug of Drink of the Gods.
They each took a couple of sips and entered the boss lair.
"Pandora! Are you ready for round two?" Exo cheered.
Pandora was silent and just threw bombs at them.
"Looks like Medusa couldn't get her to talk," Ixchel taunted.
"What do you mean?" Kiyuga asked.
"I mean that's not Pandora," Ixchel explained.
"But it looks just like her," Skye said while throwing a Boom Spear.
"My empathy can sense the poor soul who is being forced to fight while dressed up like Pandora," Ixchel explained.
"How clever of you, Servant of Ventus," Medusa said.
"I can't believe you would recycle souls," Exo shouted while dodging Pandora's vacuum attack.
"Yeah, is nothing sacred to you?" Kiyuga yelled.
"You're in for it, Medusa," Skye cheered.
"Now watch in awe as we beat Pandora for the second time," Exo said, "Sniper mode!"
The bow transformed into a sleek red sniper rifle. Steam was hissing out of the sides. The scope in a skull's large eye. Exo aimed and saw through the scope Pandora's heart.
"It shows their weaknesses!" Exo thought. He aimed carefully and blasted. The flaming goddess melted away. The four were teleported away.
MIDSTAGE PROGRESS
SHARK WEEK!
Any closer,
YOU'D BE BAIT!
The foyer was quiet. Suddenly, the statues crumbled and angels appeared in flashes of light.
"Hey, everybody!" Pit said cheerfully.
Everybody mumbled greetings before jumping into the hot spring. After a heavenly soak, everyone was ready to move.
"The path to Medusa actually starts where you entered," Palutena said.
Everyone walked out of the foyer through the entrance to see that it was now an entrance to a room instead of outside.
"How is this even possible?" Exo asked.
"I gave up on possible a while ago," Rio informed him.
Dark was playing tennis with the Phil and Collin enemy while Ixchel sat with Pit. He appeared to hand Pit a few CD's. Pit smiled weakly and thanked Ixchel. Xiaolung and Skye were taking shots at two weird flying Skuttler Canoneers.
Those enemies were vanquished and a new wave appeared. Skye and Naughtia chased a Nosegay around while firing at it. Pit took out a couple of Gyrazers. Ixchel, Kiyuga, and Anubis were on Shemun control. Tons of the tiny snake-demons fell from the roof but were quickly destroyed.
Yet another wave appeared. It was only a pair of Shootflies and a Skuttler Suit of Armor. The Suit of Armor was impenetrable but there was a huge gap in the back of it. Eos quietly backstabbed the Skuttler and the door opened. Apparently you should let sleeping Shootflies lie.
The next room was a cavernous area with strategically-placed flamethrowers. They ran up a small detour from the main path to loot a treasure box. Medusa decided it was time to rant.
"You know it's very ironic that you call yourself the Goddess of Light," she started, "It was you who hunted me down. You turned me into a monster."
"You can't blame me for that," Palutena said calmly, "I only made you what was in your heart."
Rio growled and put on the Speed Boots from the chest. She zipped down to the path and ran into another detour.
"So what's in your heart? I can only imagine what resides there," Medusa taunted.
"Why imagine? I know you have the power to make things reality," Palutena fired back.
"I don't have to. Everyone knows it would be a hideous monster," Medusa said evenly.
"You shut the hell up, Medusa!" Rio yelled. The Souflee from the Labyrinth appeared next to a trapped Clubberskull. It jumped into Rio's arms and nuzzled her cheek.
"Who turns the people to stone? Who poisons the rivers? Who leads the underworld army to destroy the Overworld? You! Not Palutena," Rio yelled.
The Souflee made a sound that seemed like 'Yeah! What she said!'.
"What I don't understand is how you resurrected," Pit said.
"I don't either," Medusa mumbled. The group entered a room with rotating flamethrowers. They carefully traversed around them.
"Don't play dumbass," Muse said angrily.
"I don't know! My memories are faded," the evil goddess said. Not Eos, Medusa said that.
"Wow. You've actually lost it! Maybe that's why your life force seems weaker," Palutena said. Exo got an idea and pulled out Fortunate Jukebox.
"Twinbellows, Hewdraw, Pandora, and Thanatos have all been defeated… but I will spare you if you stay in this castle and withdraw your troops," Palutena said.
'21 guns' by Green Day started playing.
"Yeah, right. Besides, it hardly matters how I returned. It matters why I returned. TO EXACT REVENGE ON YOU!" Medusa shouted, "Killing off your little angels will be my first step."
"You can threaten us all you want, but no one threatens Lady Palutena," Pit stated.
"I pick you all off one by one. It will be easy to destroy or turn you. One already has turned," Medusa said slyly. That thought bothered the angels especially one.
"We will return to Skyworld victorious!" Pit cheered. They entered the next room. It had four platforms that rose up to floor level with enemies. The first was an Eggplant Wizard. The angels went into awesome mode.
The Wizard threw a bomb. Exo, Kiyuga, and Skye were hit. Anubis, Ixchel, and Naughtia protected them until they healed.
Meanwhile, Eos, Dark, and Muse shot the evil sorcerer. It flew back on its back. It tried to get back up but Eos' knife flew straight into its eye. It exploded into light.
The next platform had only a Skuttler Canoneer. It saw its enemies and blasted itself in the face.
The last platform was only a Skuttler in Armor. Everyone made a circle around it and shot its open spot when it came around.
The last platform had Power-up drops. A trapped Clubberskull appeared. Exo blasted it while Ixchel used the 'Atlas' Foot. Mars' black foot did not come down.
"What the hell? Is it broken?" Ixchel asked.
"I'm a little busy now," Mars told Exo in mind telepathy. Hence italics.
Exo shrugged.
"Grab a Power-up drop," he said.
Everyone transformed into Nyan-Cats. They shot hearts at the Clubberskull until it died. Everyone transformed back.
"That was weird, bro," Cloak said.
"I know," Xiaolung said. Everyone decided to not talk about it. They moved on. The next room was huge. It seemed to go for a few miles. An orange grind rail was waiting for them. Without a second thought, everyone jumped on.
"I had to get creative. It's gonna be a wild ride. Good luck," Palutena warned.
"We got this," Xiaolung said.
Anubis and Muse shot some Octos' down. Dark and Rio blasted some passing Miks and Monoeyes. The grind rail did a few flips. Rio sniped a Souflee. It winked and disappeared. The grind rail ended and the angels fell onto another one.
Cloak shot a Boogity that was about to shoot a missile. They landed on a small stone platform.
"I can sense you getting closer," Medusa said out of the blue.
"Okay, eww," Pit said, "Guess there's no place to run."
"Actually, I'm looking forward to your arrivals," Medusa said, "I feel like Rapunzel waiting for her prince."
"OKAY EW! I 'hate' to break it to you," Exo said sarcastically, "but those aren't exactly golden locks on your head." They hopped on some grind rails.
"And you're not exactly a brave hero," Medusa quipped, "Yet somehow, this confrontation fills me with anticipation. So hurry to me, angels. I'll strip you of your wings and forever sever you from the heavens!"
The next platform was also stone and had an Igniot (I figured it out!) and several Handora's. The Igniot was dealt with easily killed while the Handora fled.
"Your own troops don't even trust you anymore!" Pit taunted. There was no answer.
They hopped on some more grind rails. Pit took out an Orne before it could hurt anyone. They landed on one more platform before the door to the next room. A couple of Boogities stood in their way. Needless to say, they entered the next room easily.
Exo stepped on a button in the next room and some red lights appeared. Everyone had a fruit salad.
"Those red light don't help us," Exo said, "Pit can't fly yet."
Eos pushed Anubis over the edge.
"You- oomph," Anubis said as he hit an invisible path.
"Aw," Eos whined, "I mean, look! Those red lights line the path."
When that room was passed, they entered yet another large square room. An Eggplant Wizard and an Igniot appeared. They were destroyed and everyone moved on.
"Will we ever reach Medusa?" Rio complained.
"I don't know," Kiyuga said.
The next room had platforms that were invisible. It was easily passed except for a new enemy.
A humanoid monster with a fried shrimp for a head sat with a cape in a flying bowl.
"What is that?!" Exo asked.
"It's a Tempura Wizard! Don't let it turn you into a Tempura. If you get deep-fried, stay away! It will eat you! One bite equals death," Palutena warned.
After that was dealt with they moved on into the FINAL ROOM (THANK GOD!). The last defenses attacked. Some monoeyes swarmed. Dead. A weird glowy path appeared to the next platform. Some Miks tried to smack them with tongues. Done for. The next platform had some angry Shrips. Easily defeated. The last platform before a huge set of stairs.
An Orne and Eggplant Wizard appeared. Pit destroyed the Orne while everyone killed the wizard. Finally a strange cloaked enemy appeared. When it was 'killed' it split into two. The top half floated around while the bottom half (in heart-boxers) acted like a Mimicutie. The halves were destroyed and the angels climbed the steps.
Everyone had a final glass of Drink of the Gods. Suddenly, holographic figures appeared.
"Good luck, Cloak," Poseidon wished sternly. Cloak for some reason didn't look up.
A God smiled at Ixchel who smiled back eagerly.
"Thanks for the weapon," Ixchel said to the God.
A pale goddess with a headband that had a plate with an arrow etched into it, purple hair, and a blue dress down to her ankles hugged Anubis.
"Come back alive," she whispered in his ear.
Magnus seemed to tap air.
"Is this thing working? Eos! I hope you'll remember that I asked you out. I expect you to be there," the gruff warrior said with a smile.
A god with a white Tee shirt and jeans, red hair, and green eyes hugged Muse.
A wolf howl was heard. Rio and Dark glowed slightly.
Everyone waved goodbye and entered the final battle area.
MIDSTAGE PROGRESS
Nothing to say.
"Hahahahahaha! So we finally meet!" Medusa said.
"She's huge!" Pit cried.
"Be careful!" Palutena said for no reason.
"Aww! They're here," said Mars who was sitting at a giant table with a cup of coffee in his hands.
"You never fail to disgust me," Exo said to Mars.
"Whatever, I'm out," said the War God.
"Listen well, all you demons of the underworld! We are the Servants of Lady Palutena, Goddess of Light! Those who hide in the darkness will be made to face the light!" Pit lectured.
"Fly, everyone!" Palutena commanded. Medusa smashed at where they were standing three seconds ago.
Medusa blew them away from the hellish arena over a sea of red water.
"I'm going to try to get you guys closer," Ventus announced. A tailwind picked up for the angels.
"Thank you," Ixchel said.
Black portals opened up and green spheres of pain flew out. The angels flew wildly to dodge them.
"She's obviously using her powers to hold you back," Palutena said.
Red formations made out of lasers appeared. The angels flew through them only to see hundreds of underworld enemies petrified into stone being hurled at them.
"Even traitors have their uses!" Medusa taunted.
"I won't give in!" Skye cheered.
The newly made statues were blasted. Another laser formation appeared along with more statues.
The angels blasted their way through and circled the arena.
"You're still too far," Palutena said.
The angels flew in and fired. Medusa threw two small objects out of her hand before transporting her 200 foot tall body 50 feet away. The shots missed and two floating explosive balls followed the angels.
"Fight, you coward!" Naughtia yelled.
"Wow, warping that huge body must be a pain," Ixchel mused.
"Who are you calling huge, you tiny insignificant things," Medusa taunted.
Medusa kept blowing explosive air-mines toward them. She would also cover one eye with her hand and then reveal the eye to fire lasers. Medusa kept warping until a wave of blue came across the red water. It smashed into Medusa, knocking her off balance.
"I'll get you for that, Poseidon! Right after I kill these-," Medusa said before she doubled-over groaning.
One hundred centurions flew in, holding glowing blue chains. They tied Medusa's feet with them.
"There now she can't warp!" Palutena said happily, "Unfortunately, that means you have to get close to her.
"You'll pay for tha-," Medusa started before she froze.
"Now, Artemis!" said Minua. A glowing blue arrow rocketed down from above and pierced Medusa's black heart.
Medusa unfroze and cursed the two gods. Suddenly, Dark and Rio glowed.
Rio's bow got huge. She took a shot and split Artemis' arrow. Dark threw her sword up. Palutena's image appeared behind it.
"By the name of Lady Palutena, I will defeat you!" she yelled. The sword fell back to her and she glowed a little every couple of seconds. Every time she hit Medusa while she was glowing, it seemed to do way more damage.
Everyone else attacked with renewed fury. It was like an angry swarm of killer bees. Medusa shouted in agony and she threw down her staff. She bent over gasping for breath. Suddenly, she roared. And transformed.
Her face now had jagged teeth and was gnarled up. She also had one giant red eye.
"This is the Medusa I remember," Palutena mumbled.
"She's hideous," Pit said.
Her head flew off from its shoulders and chased the angels. She fired lasers and weird snake shadow monsters at the group.
"It's time," Mars said in Exo's mind, "Throw down an orb."
Exo took out one of his two red power orbs he got from Mars. He threw it down to the arena below. From so far up, he could hear it smash.
"I… feel…STRANGE!" Exo cried out. A black swirl came down from the heavens and covered half of Exo's body in blackness. Soon, the dark half grew a glowing red eye and half of an evil smile. Instead of a red tunic like normal Exo had, the black side got the purple tunic from Mars.
"I AM EXO AND THE BOSS! I AM TWO PERFECTLY UNTIED; BOTH AT PEACE, BODY AND MIND! I AM EXOTHEBOSS, SAVIOR OF THE WORLDS!" the figure cried.
"Whoa, what the heck happened to you?" Ixchel asked.
"Yeah what happened to face? Oh that's normal," Kiyuga said with a smirk.
"Don't get a big head," Naughtia mumbled.
Eos had just finished a freak attack on Medusa.
ExotheBoss flew up to the head. He sliced, sniped, and shot the eye. The head roared and flew back to its body. When it attached, Medusa gasped.
"Now the eye!" all the Gods said. Everyone shot at the same time. Suddenly, there was a flash of light.
"You did it!" Palutena cried.
Medusa moaned. She started to disintegrate into black sandy particles. The angels were abducted but they could see that the castle was crumbling. They were cheering and having a party at the palace.
"We did it! We really beat her," Pit said.
"Congratulations, guys. I know it wasn't always easy," Palutena said.
"It was definitely worth it. The world is at peace. The only problem is Mars and Eos I guess," Exo said jokingly.
Everyone laughed. Suddenly the sky got dark.
"Now wait just a second," said a voice.
"Huh?" Pit said looking towards the close.
"Did you guys hear that?" Palutena asked.
"Was it Mars?" Naughtia asked.
"No I'm right here," said the War God.
"I said wait just a second," the voice repeated. It broke into an evil laugh. The sky started flaming and a purple figure with green dirty hair and a ratty cape appeared.
"Hades!" Palutena cried.
"Who's he?" Xiaolung asked.
"The true master of the underworld."
"Sorry to keep YOU waiting," Hades said giving a mock bow, "But now that I'm here… Let's get this party started! Welcome to MY underworld angel faces. You too, pretty Palutena."
"I'm… honored you know who I am," Palutena said.
"So these little angels took down big, bad Medusa. Goodness, you should put that on your resumes. But before you do, I want you to know that I whipped up that Medusa especially for you," The god said.
"Wait, how?" Rio asked.
"Add a pinch of memories to a ton of souls. Put them in a blender and hit 'Frappe'. Her revenge just seemed too good to waste. But she's old news and old news bores me. The future of the underworld is me, the true ruler of the underworld."
"This can't be happening!" Muse cried.
"I must bid you goodbye for now!"
