Chapter 13 - The End, For Someone

(Author's Note: Oh boy, my creepypasta is finally nearing its end after all the time I spent on it. I'm honestly excited myself.

Hope you all enjoy reading my Creepypasta as much as I did making it!)

I woke up a little late into the morning, about 9 AM. My head felt a bit foggy, yet I could clearly remember Magnus and Dark Pit in that dream last night. It was as if the memory was reverberating in my head.

The plan for today was: go to my friend's house without using the phone that Pit could tap into. Then we battle Pit in the Special Battle. And if we win, we save them all?...

I'm pretty good at video games, so is that friend of mine. As long as it's a fair boss fight, we might be able to beat him!

I got ready to leave my house to board the bus and arrived at their house in about 20 minutes. The weather was overcast, clouds blocked most of the sun and the air was a bit chilly. Though we can't let the weather discourage us. I knocked on the door and my friend let me in as soon as they saw it was me.

"Good morning! The 3ds is on the table. And I got us snacks too, hahaha!" Said my friend as they let me inside the house.

"Do you always have food with you?" I said with a joking smile.

They laughed and replied with a "Yup!"

We walked to the room with the 3ds on the table and sat next to each other. I picked up the 3ds, turning it on and hitting start on Kid Icarus Uprising. I went to Together Mode. And just like Magnus said, there was only one option: Special Battle.

"You ready?" My friend asked me.

"I got my best friend right here beside me, I'm more than ready!" I said cheerfully.

"Haha, yeah! Let's do this together, buddy!" My friend put their arm around me playfully.

I selected the option of Special Battle. A text box appeared on the screen.

"There is a time limit of 5 minutes in the Special Battle. Do you wish to continue?"

"Yes" or "No".

I looked at my friend who nodded with a determined expression, and I selected "Yes". Then it went to that loading screen, this time it had no corpses but it was still red and murky-looking.

All of a sudden, we both lost consciousness and we don't know how. When we woke up, we appeared to be in that reddish loading screen that was on the 3ds. The ground seemed to be a large platform in the shape of a circle.

Pit flew down from above and landed gently on the ground, facing the two of us. Staring at us from his blacked-out eyes, beaming an eerie red light. His arm was equipped with a Cursed Palm, but this one looked exceptionally powerful.

He stood there staring at us blankly. I looked to my friend, but it wasn't my friend. Magnus was beside me instead...

I came to the realization of what was going on as soon as I looked at myself... I wasn't wearing my clothes anymore, those weren't my sandals either. I had gauntlets on my forearms and in one had I was holding a Dark Pit's Staff...

If my assumption is correct, this can only mean one thing... We switched places to engage battle with Pit! So that's why Magnus said to have my friend with me when I attempt the battle!?

"So… It's finally come to this, after all those broken promises you made…"

Pit's voice started to glitch and my friend and I said nothing, we physically couldn't open our mouths or move our bodies. It must've been part of the 'cutscene' we were in.

"You think you can win, huh?... None of those 'Gods' even stood a chance!... AHAHAHA! MAYBE I'LL ERADICATE YOU TOO! GET READY!" He shouted while the Cursed Palm flared up on his arm.

We saw words form in the air before us, it appeared to be the game's boss title screen. It read:

P I T . E X E

The screen faded away and immediately after, Pit came dashing towards us. Shooting a charged shot from his Cursed Palm, he almost hit me. I just barely dodged it jumping to the side. He fired at Magnus, who also stepped out of the way and it missed.

Now this was a real fight! Not like playing a video game, we needed real combat skills to survive... Wait, is that why Magnus never explained how this fight would work?... And is this why Pit hasn't been defeated by anyone yet?!

"C'mon! Quit standing around!" I heard Dark Pit's voice in my head.

"Wh-what?! Dark Pit?!" I said. While in Dark Pit's body, I spoke with his voice, talking to him in my head. This was strange, but I had to focus on dodging and firing attacks at Pit.

"Yeah. Your in my body now, and make sure to avoid those charged shots! That's no ordinary weapon he's using!" Dark Pit's voice echoed in my head as he spoke.

I jumped back, shooting a continuous stream of attacks from the Dark Pit's Staff. Only one of the weaker attacks hit, it didn't seem to affect him at all.

My friend in Magnus's body seemed to be doing good. They swung his Magnus Club around and chasing after Pit, it'd be more effective to use melee attacks with the club. Which was a good strategy on their part.

(Friend's/Magnus's PoV)

"So Magnus, if I'm in your body… Is my pal in Dark Pit's body?... And hey I sound like you too!" I said out loud to magnus whose voice was in my head.

"You got it. And a bit of advice, keep an eye on Pit and what he's about to do next. We can't afford any slip up…" Said Magnus's voice.

"Alrighty then. Watch this! Aaaagh!" I swung the club at Pit and it reflected one of his own attacks back at him.

"Grrr!" Pit growled and upon taking damage he glitched out a little.

"Hahaha! Gotcha!" I exclaimed, speaking through Magnus's mouth.

He sighed and said "Nice move, but can ya cut the silly act?... I swear. Every time someone gains possession of my body, they're always so... giddy…"

"Sorry about that. I never been in a fight before. I feel so alive right now!" I said while I kept avoiding Pit's Cursed Palm attacks and trying to hit him.

(Protagonist's/Dark Pit's PoV)

Pit has been chasing after me for quite a while. I'm sure he's especially angry with me. I was the one who broke that promise to him anyways…

"You'll run out of stamina if you keep running." Dark Pit was basically coaching me at this point.

I turned around, Pit was still shooting smaller attacks at me. I started to just dodge and fire at the same time. Then I finally landed a couple hits on him.

"Aa-aah ! !" Pit screeched in his distorted voice. His eyes and mouth were starting to drip a black ooze. His body was glitching in and out of shape. Pit was even more terrifying than I could ever imagine and it was so real this time.

He got close enough to throw a punch, it sent me flying back. It moderately hurt when I landed on the ground. Though I was able to get up before he'd try attacking me again.

"You're not in crisis mode yet, but be careful. Two more hits and we're finished!" Dark Pit warned me.

Pit started to attack Magnus, so I took that chance to wait for the Dark Pit's Staff to generate a charged shot. As soon as it did, I fired at Pit.

"Aah!" Pit shouted as it caused him to stumble a little.

While Pit was glitching, Magnus ran up and sent him flying back with a swing of the Magnus Club. We both ran at Pit, who was lying on the ground, not even trying to get up for some reason.

We were about to attack, but then Pit lifted his hand with the Cursed Palm up in the air. We both were about to launch our attacks but he created a dome-like shield from the Cursed Palm. Pit got up slowly, lacking any hint of emotion in his eyes.

Then he grinned widely, even more ooze dripped from his corrupted smile.

"Heheheh… hehe- AHAHAHAHA ! ! ! ~ ….." Pit cackled away, with absolutely no sanity left.

As the Cursed Palm's Shield slowly dissipated, I took aim with the Dark Pit Staff and my friend tightened their grip on the Magnus Club. Pit was rubbing his chest where I shot him.

"Pittoo, that hurt!... I thought we were just playing around..." Pit said with a fake tenderness in his voice.

I thought to myself "What?! That was him only 'playing around'?!"

"Better be careful from here on out, it's been over 2 minutes. Once 5 minutes are up, it's over…" Dark Pit said.

(Friend's/Magnus's PoV)

Uh oh, now we're in trouble. He's mad! I just know it! Oh well, better prepare for the worst.

"Hey. Don't lose hope! Cuz I'm fighting right here beside ya!" I said to my friend to encourage them.

"Yeah! We can do this together!" Said my friend, in Dark Pit's body.

Magnus spoke. "Looks like Angel Face won't hold back anymore, and neither should you! Give 'em your best shot!"

(Protagonist's/Dark Pit's PoV)

Pit stood there, staring at the Cursed Palm on his hand, laughing. Then he spoke.

"You know, none of you from the outside have beaten me yet. Nobody gets close, it's so boring…" He put his hand on his cheek pouting.

"Hmm… Oh! I have an idea!... Let's fight for real this time!~"

Pit had the happiest and most excited face I've seen him make during this fight. That can't be good.

In a split second, he teleported behind us. When we turned around and he had already fired his charged shot. This one was so massive that it damaged the both of us. I heard the unsettling sound of a health bar being destroyed.

"Damn it! You're in Crisis Mode! You have to avoid his attacks until you recover!" Dark Pit sounded worried, I was pretty scared myself.

Magnus shouted out "I'll cover you! Get back!" and he went after Pit, landing several attacks on him while reflecting all of Pit's shots with melee attacks.

It went on for a good bit of time. Then Pit fired another big charged shot at Magnus. That one hit directly, and it destroyed his whole health bar.

I heard Magnus's agonizing scream echo through this place. "AAAAGHH!"

"Magnus! No!" I cried out. I turned around as fast as I could to see the aftermath.

A rising beam of light signaled his defeat and Magnus was gone. I don't know where my friend would be now that they're out of this battle. Pit just stood there and laughed softly to himself.

"Don't worry about them now. Just watch Pit carefully..." Dark Pit said, but he sounded disheartened.

Pit turned around. He started flapping his blood splattered wings and rose up off the ground. It appeared he wanted to take this battle to the air.

"What are we gonna do? Dark Pit, can you still fly?" I asked, but this time it wasn't Dark Pit who replied to me.

"Did someone forget mention that I, Pandora, was here this whole time?" Pandora suddenly started speaking out of nowhere. It was a big shock to me, but I had to keep an eye on Pit who was now flying above.

"Ughh... I'd hate to admit it, but we need your help…" Said Dark Pit, while I was still running around the ground in his body dodging the attacks Pit fired.

"Well since you asked nicely, I'd be happy to. But if only you had been so polite the first time!" Pandora yelled. I hope they'd stop bickering soon.

"Guuuuys… We have a time limit here…" I said out loud to the both of them.

"Fine, fine... I'll direct your flight path, you can thank me after you've won this battle…" Pandora said, and sooner than I realized it, I was up in the air too. Pit seemed to be excited about this.

"Ah, I remember! Pittoo, your flight was always unlimited!... But it seems you're running out of time, you don't really need all that flight, do you?…" Pit cocked his head innocently.

"How about I just end it right now?!" Pit said as he aimed his Cursed Palm, he fired a barrage of weaker, spread out attacks that I had to dodge mid-air.

I tried to dodge them the best I could, while flying, it was more difficult... Did he do this to make attacking me easier?!

"Watch it, Pandora! They almost got shot!" Dark Pit said.

"Well excuse me! Who's the one letting you fly again?!" Pandora shouted back. I have to stop this nonsense, it'll just go back and forth if I don't.

"Can you both stop already?! It's distracting!" I said, hoping it'd make them stay quiet now.

"Yeah, Dark Pit. It's not like you can do anything in this situation either…" Pandora scoffed.

Dark Pit replied with a disappointed "Hmph…" .

Thank goodness, they've stopped. Now I could focus on the battle. Pit and I kept fighting in the air, with a mix of both ranged and melee attacks. For a while, none of them hit either of us.

But the odds were well against me. I fired 1 shot, he fired 3 back. I couldn't damage him nearly enough and my time was dwindling away.

"10, 9, 8…." Pit counted down the passing seconds while still sending more charged shots from his Cursed Palm at me. There's no way I could beat him in time!

"7, 6, 5, 4…." His Cursed Palm was only firing charged shots now. If I didn't die from any of those attacks, the time limit would be the end of me!

"3... 2... 1! YOUR FINISHED!" Pit declared with a psychotic, outstretched smile on his face.

His Cursed Palm's aura grew rapidly, he aimed it at my face and that huge ball of cursed energy struck my body. I yelled in pain and the next thing I knew, I saw Dark Pit's body on the ground. I was unsure if he'd get back up or not.

I was now just a spectator, perhaps a spirit. Invisible to them but able to see everything. Pit ascended to the ground with that horrible smile on his face.

He just kept laughing… It scared me, I wanted to say something or look away but I was forced to watch... Please, stop smiling like that…
