Chapter 10 - The End, for You

I woke up the next morning, I actually didn't think about anything until I got out of bed and saw my 3ds. Then I remembered it all. What a night, and the worst part is that it actually happened. Why couldn't it have been just some nightmare that you can simply forget about. Either way, I had to do something about the game.

Pit said most people who saw him would never come back then he'd see a new face. So from that I assume he meant the previous owners got rid of the game and it was passed to someone else. I tried to throw it away before and that didn't work.

For a about half an hour I sat in my room staring at the Kid Icarus game cartridge in the palm of my hand. Debating whether or not to actually be Pit's friend or to just let it pass on to another.

Part of me wanted to be nice to Pit because of all he's been through. He did take a toll and a great deal of pain to the point where he snapped and lost it.

But the other part of me thought even if I was the best friend I can be to him, would that do anything? Because this IS a game after all, what if there is no such happy ending for him?

On top of that, Magnus and Dark Pit, who Pit didn't kill, both told me to get rid of the game and walk away. I felt that was enough of a sign to let someone else deal with this game like all it's previous owners must have.

I put it back into the case, closed it and packed it in my bag. Walking out the door, I set off to the game shop. It was unfortunate that another person would eventually stumble upon this game and go through that horrifying cycle, but I believe nothing more can be done.

After arriving at the mall, I went into the game store. Then to the counter where I asked if I can return the used copy of Kid Icarus Uprising I bought weeks ago. The man behind the counter inspected it, looking carefully for any damage.

I could still see the red stain which was most likely blood on the case, but yet he didn't seem to notice. Maybe Pit made it so only the game owners can see those ominous things.

The man finished his inspection and said "Yup. We shall buy this game back from you to sell again. Thank you!" He gave me $5 in return, which was reasonable since I originally spent only $10 on it. Though I didn't care about the money, I just wanted it gone.

Then I left after having that game returned to the store where I found it. I started to walk back, still a little down about how I broke my promise to being Pit's friend and to visit him by turning on that game. He was probably lonely and lost his mind from everything after time went by. But I couldn't just do that, and I had to find a new job because I lost my old one.

I went to the bus stop, waited a few minutes then my bus arrived and I sat down on a seat in the back. I could finally relax knowing that this whole thing was over. A couple minutes later, I received a text message while still on the bus.

It was from my friend who I had lunch with that rainy day and who helped me buy the Fire Emblem Awakening. I opened the message and read it.

"Heey, guess what? I was at that game store again and I found an amazing deal! This game was like, only $10. Check it ooout!" My friend had attached a photo to that text.

It was a picture of them holding in their hand the same copy of Kid Icarus Uprising that I had just sold back to that store.

(Author's Note: This is the original ending of the story Pit exe and after this there's an alternate end and bloopers. Though I'm going to make a sequel.)
