(Alternate End) Chapter 6 - Cursed

(Author's Note: Read up to Chapter 5, then skip to here for this other ending. Also whenever I type "Pit . exe" without spaces, it disappears on this site. So that's why I been typing "Pit exe" . Welp, I hope you enjoy it!)

I walked back up to my house after just missing that bus. I was aware I'd be fired from that job though I wasn't mad or anything, I honestly didn't know how to feel. When I got back home I just lied down a while, thinking of what to do for the rest of the day.

Since it was raining, I didn't want to go out. Neither did I have any hangouts with any friends, so I was certainly staying indoors. I had suddenly realized that I was a bit hungry so I went to the kitchen and opened the freezer. I took out a frozen burrito which I unwrapped and placed on a plate to microwave.

I had to wait about 3 minutes for the burrito to cook, so I went to my room and turned on the 3ds to play Kid Icarus again. The first thing I did was look at my weapons to see if I should change my Cursed Palm. Somehow, despite the few weapons I accumulated, I have failed to notice how all the weapons I collected so far had absolutely zero stats and value. They were practically useless, all except only the Cursed Palms which had very high stats and good effects. Was this just some glitch or error? That really sucks how those other weapons wouldn't be of any good use, I guess the Cursed Palm wasn't so bad. Though I'd eventually get tired of using the same weapon over and over.

Then I heard a beep from the microwave, my burrito was done. I placed the game down and walked out to grab the plate. It was hot and burning my hand a little which I didn't mind, I was just hungry. I also opened the fridge to get myself a drink. Walking back to my room with a can of iced coffee, I saw that my 3ds screen had frozen.

"No, no, no!" I said quietly to myself in slight panic as I used the stylus to tap the touch screen and I pushed a few buttons. Luckily, it unfroze so I went into the soundtrack playing feature of the game to have some tunes playing while eating my burrito. After I left my plate in the sink to wash later, I got on to the level selection. For a moment, I debated whether to move on to chapter 6 or re-play chapter 5 just in case I missed anything. I also wanted to try it on a higher intensity to get a better weapon, so I decided to enter Chapter 5, Pandora's Labyrinth of Deceit again on a higher intensity.

I went through the air battle and there were more monsters who needed more hits to be taken down. This would be a little tricky but I was going to try to make it through the best I can. When I reached the end of the flight mode I sighed in relief that I had made it, next was going through the Labyrinth to see if the higher intensity made anything change.

When I got to a certain point, I did come across a secret room. Inside was a screenshot of the Original Kid Icarus, a game I enjoyed as kid and this brought back some fond memories. I stayed in that room for a while reminiscing in thought of the old pixelated game, then I left that room to get through the rest of the chapter of Uprising.

Though as soon as I exited, it froze again. But in a split-second, the screen flickered and the Original Kid Icarus was playing. I couldn't believe it! I was both ecstatic and curious of how and why that happened. I began to play it despite how odd it was, all the nostalgia from this old game flooded back to my mind.

As I walked through, all the monsters had been already killed and there was pixelated blood everywhere. I was disturbed, seeing that in my favorite game from when I was a kid just frightened me. I advanced further into this game which was becoming more and more of a dull, dreary, pixelated horror.

When I got to what looked like the end, Palutena was just standing there and not reacting at all to Pit who kept walking even though my hands were off the game. With a flash of red and what sounded like a scream, Palutena had been decapitated, her limbs were torn off her body and blood pooled beneath her. The whole background of the game was dark and reddened, then it went blank. It was a very brief moment that it flashed in the screen and it was horrifying. My childhood memories were all soiled at this point.

Next what appeared on the screen was a pixelated image of Pit but with his Uprising character design, equipped to him was the Cursed Palm. Behind Pit was a sea of all the monsters and bosses he killed in cold blood. There were so many, it seemed endless and it painted that whole scene red. Just like in my dream from a while ago, he had those blackened, red, beady eyes.

I didn't expect to ever see it in this game, I thought that was merely a dream and nothing more. On the screen read "THEY'RE FINISHED!"which stayed on a short while. Then the 3ds turned off, and that Uprising game had broken.

I was never able to play Uprising again, though I could get on it up to the title screen animation. The only thing that'd show up after when I hit start was that screen of Pit and the sea of corpses.

It was as if Pit had cursed this game, he was a God-like entity who had the power to end it all, even as if he was a virus. A malicious, living .exe

(Author's Note: This was meant to be a typical .exe ending. I was thinking it'd start from the Rewind Spring sending the game back in time, but then I remembered the actual Easter Egg of the old game. And that fits like a glove.

I got a friend doing a rewrite of my story, and that's super awesome. I actually made a mistake, it was a miscommunication. The account my friend is using to rewrite this story is "batimki_fan" on Archive of Our Own. I accidentally said a wrong account name... SHEEEEEIT.

Anyways thanks to everyone who gave me feedback and who's enjoying my Creepypasta! It's nice hearing your reactions an thoughts, and even more fulfilling that people like it.)
