The angels started stressing. How in Palutena's name could they find the last specimen of genus Kometroido in time? And if they found it, how could they be able to collect a tooth, without being brainsucked?
'Has anyone an idea?' asked Pit. Everyone looked at each other.
'Nope,' said Ara.
'I give away the Komayto is in the underworld and leaves a track of green slime.' Another golden box appeared and Dyntos disconnected.
'Thank you lord Dyntos,' said Tawn. 'That gives me an idea!'
'Tell us,' said Ara. Tawn pointed at the air.
'We fly around and trace the ground. Us angels have good eyes.'
'Good plan,' said Pit and the angels took off. The wind ran through Pit's somewhat dirty feathers.
'Let's separate. If you find any sign of the Komayto, shoot an light arrow straight upwards.' Pit, Tawn and Ara nodded and flew away, each in a different direction. Pit started scanning the ground. He saw rocks, lava, some monsters who minded their own business. Something sticky caught his wing and Pit turned immediately his head. A Mik had caught his wing with its long tongue. Pit split his bow and cut through the tongue. The Mik fell down and Pit was free again. He flew further, looking for a green track of slime. The sound of flapping wings reached Pit's ears. He looked around but saw nothing.
'I swear I heard the flapping of a wing...' said Pit to himself. 'Never mind.' His eyes went back to the ground. His heart made a jump when he saw green slime on the rocky floor.
'Aw yeah!' shouted Pit happy and landed on the ground with a soft thud. He kneeled down and checked the slime. It was indeed from a Komayto!
'We are going to safe you Kite,' said he and fused his blades back to a bow. He pulled the bowstring and targeted the light arrow skyward. But before he could release the arrow, a sickle of yellow light struck his bow with a loud ping. The bow fell out Pit's hands and he turned his head. Somebody stood in the shadow. It was an angel, cause Pit recognised the Midnight Palm.
'Who are you!' shouted Pit. The angel stayed put.
'Show yourself coward!' A second sickle shot to Pit and hit him in the shoulder. Pit made a cry of pain and fell on the ground.
'I don't let you safe her!' yelled the angel. Pit recognised the voice: it was Maggie-Jayne. She walked out the shadow.
'YOU!' shouted Pit angry. 'You are the cause of this! You poisoned Kite!' Maggie-Jayne made a cruel laugh.
'You're right. I gave her Medusa's blood. I've heard it works out fine. Convulsing, coughing, vomiting and last but not least, much pain.' Pit clenched his fists and grabbed his bow, but he was immediately disarmed by another shot.
'You are sick,' said Pit angry.
'No, I'm not the one. Kite is the one who's sick. I can't wait seeing her succumb of her illness. I give you the guarantee it will be a slow and painful death.' This was the limit. Pit jumped up and pitched into the angel. She cried in pain and fell on the ground. Pit kept her on the ground and plucked a tuft of sapphire feathers.
'How coincident. Like girlfriend, like boyfriend,' nagged she. Maggie-Jayne managed to kick Pit in the stomach.
'You bitch!' shouted he and fell again. She pressed her foot on his stomach, so he couldn't move. Pit struggled, but was unable to free himself. Maggie-Jayne charged her shot and pointed her hand at the angel's chest.
'If you kill me, you will be executed, keep that in mind,' said Pit nervously.
'It was just a tragic accident. We were both attacked. You saved me, but wasn't able to save yourself. Any last words, Pit Perseus Eros Icarus?' Pit closed his eyes. That it had to end this way. If he died, he and Kite wouldn't be separated for long. A high-pitched screech echoed through the area, followed by a cry of pain. Pit opened his eyes and recoiled immediately when he saw the Komayto, clamped to Maggie-Jayne's head.
'Pit help me!' screeched she, trying to get the Komayto off her head. Pit crawled toward his bow. He grabbed it and shot an arrow skyward first. Ara and Tawn are on the way, thought Pit and turned the attention to the brainsucking parasite. Maggie-Jayne sat on her knees. The Komayto had almost drained all her life energy. Pit shot an arrow straight through the protective membrane. The Komayto released the angel and was dashed backwards. Maggie-Jayne collapsed and lost her consciousness. A second arrow hit the Komayto and pinned it on the ground. Pit ran toward the Komayto and tried to grab its teeth. He was alert, cause one wrong step and he could become a Komayto prey. The angels managed to get a tooth and jerked it out the jellyfish-like creature. It screeched again and struggled. The arrow disappeared and the Komayto was free. It immediately lashed out to Pit. But before it could clamp the remaining teeth on the angel, a shot hit the Komayto. It froze and Pit shot it in smithereens. Pit looked behind him to see who gave that shot: it were Ara and Tawn.
'But...how...?' stuttered Pit.
'I faced some snowmen on my way,' answered Ara. Pit showed the tooth.
'I've got it,' said Pit with a sigh of relief.
He just killed the last Komayto. The last living specimen of genus Kometroido. After the extinction of the Zebesian Metroid, the Tallonian Metroid, the Aetherian Metroid and the Phazonian Metroid was also the Common Komayto extinct.
Many Metroid references...
Next time: ally or enemy.
