BGM: Chaos Vortex (Kid Icarus: Uprising)
"Hang on, Ruby! I'm coming for you!" Pit exclaimed as he had flown into the Chaos Vortex and leaving WBY and JNPR behind. It wasn't that he wanted to, but right now, he was more focused on the girl that confessed to him.
The girl that he loved.
"Ugh! This place is total chaos!" Pit said, looking around all over.
"Hence the name: Chaos Vortex." Viridi spoke up. "Also, you totally should have waited for RWBY and JNPR… or would that be WBY? Ugh, WBY sounds stupid when said out loud."
"Look, we don't have time to wait! Ruby's life in jeopardy and I'm gonna do whatever it takes to get her back!"
"You really do care for her, don't you?"
"Yes!"
"Well, my intestines are gonna hate me soon, but I do support your decision to be with her."
"Uh, what do you mean by- …ooooh, the poison ivy sandwich."
"Yeah…"
"Hey!" A voice said as Pit turned his head to see the others catching up to him. "You can't just leave us behind like that!" Weiss scolded.
"Not like I had a choice…"
"We'll do it together… and besides, I know that you love my little sister." Yang said. "Trust me, you two would make a cute couple."
"H-hey!"
"But right now, we got a bug to take down."
"She's right! We gotta move on the double!" Viridi said… and then suddenly, eyes popped up everywhere, causing everyone to scream as they disappeared. "Ahem, yes, well… I wasn't expecting that…"
"Can anyone hear me?" Palutena's voice came in.
"We sure can, Lady Palutena!" Pit answered.
"Good, I was wondering if I could reach you from there…"
"Palutena, you gotta get some rest." Viridi said. "Not to mention you gotta spruce up Skyworld!"
"I know… but, I just want to say… I'm really sorry for everything that I did."
"Oh, don't sweat it, you were under the Chaos Kin's mind control." Yang said.
"I know… but this is still my fault for having you go through all this… and worst of all, Ruby sacrificed herself to save me."
"It's alright, Lady Palutena… we forgive you." Pit smiled. "But… uh… I never knew stealing someone's soul would cause them to petrify."
"Yeah, me neither!" Nora said.
"Actually, it was me who turned Ruby into stone." Palutena said. "Ruby would've been dead for good if I didn't intervene by turning her into stone."
"So you were preserving her life." Pyrrha said.
"Yes, I was. I'd do the same to myself if my soul was taken instead of Ruby's."
"Not really sure how that works… but, I'm glad you did it to save Ruby." Weiss said.
"Palutena, you NEED to rest! We'll take it from here!" Viridi said. "Skyworld isn't gonna restore itself you know!"
"Alright… I'll see you when you guys save Ruby." Palutena said as they proceeded forward… and then the lights went out.
"Agh! Who turned out the lights?!" Jaune asked.
"O…kaaaay, maybe the Chaos Vortex's batteries are dead." Pit said.
"This place doesn't run on batteries, dingle brain! Anyway, it doesn't matter… you're going the right way... I think."
"What do you mean, you think?" Yang wondered as they saw a light at the end of the darkness. They flew out as everyone seemed to be okay… well, maybe except for Pit and Jaune.
"Augh! This is my only tunic!" Pit complained.
"Why isn't everyone else like this?!" Jaune asked. "Why is just me?!"
"Oh, don't be such princesses, you two!" Viridi said.
"How did it not affect us…?" Ren wondered as they came to a hot spring waterfall.
"Oh yeah! It's a hot spri- blublubblub!" Pit said, as they went right through it, making Pit and Jaune getting their color back.
"Well, that's one way to get their color back." Weiss said.
"Yeah, but I got water up my nose!" Pit complained.
"You and me both…" Jaune groaned as they flew around the area, taking down some Underworld forces in the process.
"We're near the Chaos Kin." Viridi said.
"Good!" Yang smirked.
"But watch out for look-alikes!" She warned, and right on cue, a bunch of them showed up.
"Ew! Nasty!" Weiss exclaimed.
"Is the Chaos Kin replicating itself?"
"If that's the case, we're in HUGE trouble!" Blake said.
"I know!" Pit groaned as they destroyed the look-alikes and then they came across some symbols that randomly appeared… and right on cue, shadow versions of Pit, WBY, and JNPR appeared. "Seriously?! Now what?!"
"Oh look, we have clones!" Nora said, and with a smirk, she quickly took it down with chocolate chips.
"They seem to be your shadows." Viridi said.
"Just when our dark clones were bad enough…" Weiss groaned as they quickly defeated them all.
"Besides, they don't look ANYTHING like me. First of all, I'm much more attractive!" Pit said, hearing a snicker from Yang and Nora. "Hey, you know it's true!"
"…Honestly, it's like you WANT me to insult you."
"No! You just do it anyway!" Pit argued as they looked around, looking for the Chaos Kin as they saw an island up ahead and saw something moving.
"THAT CHAOS KINS THE REAL DEAL! AFTER IT!" Viridi yelled.
"Right!" Pit exclaimed as he quickly took off with the others right behind him. "Where do you think YOU'RE going?!" He asked, quickly firing from his Tiger Claws and going inside.
"Throttling UP!"
"Hey, Pit! Calm down!" Blake tried to stop him from doing something reckless as they went even further.
"My face feels like it's peeling off!" Pit complained.
"Put on your big boy pants and stay on the Chaos Kin!"
Pit proceeded to fly around, dodging an endless supply of Exo Tanks as a Souflee was cutely riding on one of them as he went further in as the rest were just behind them. "Uuugh…! I've almost got it!"
"Not to rain on your parade, but you've got to watch the clock!"
"Just keep me in the air as long as you can!"
"Man! It's like he's really determined!" Jaune said, completely unaware of Pit's feelings.
"Jaune… Ruby confessed her feelings to Pit." Pyrrha said. "And… I'm pretty sure that Pit wanted to confess his feelings back to her, but the Chaos Kin stole Ruby's soul. So obviously, he's pretty angry."
"Geez! How come you didn't know that?" Nora asked.
Jaune sweatdropped. "I was trying to get water out of my nose…" He said as they went out of the portal.
"You're running out of time!"
"But I've almost got it!" Pit said, still firing at the Chaos Kin and just when things were looking bad… the Chaos Kin slammed right into a wall, dazing it for several seconds.
"Now's your chance! Shoot shoot shoot!"
"I got it!" Yang said, firing from her gauntlet and hitting the Chaos Kin directly, as it soon fell to an island below.
"Oh, nice one!" Pit said.
"Chaos Kin down!"
"Now it's time to get Ruby's spirit back!" Pit declared and flew down as the others did the same.

BGM: Chaos Island (Kid Icarus: Uprising)
Pit was the first to land. "Where's Ruby?"
"She's close by, but you'll have to finish off some enemies first."
"My pleasure!" Pit smirked, but before he could do anything, Yang landed in front of him… and punched him on top of the head. "OW!"
"THAT was for going on ahead without us!"
"Yeesh… sorry…" Pit winced, as they saw some Underworld Forces… but then they saw some Hammer Bros, Koopas and the like. "What the…?"
"Hmm, these all the enemies you, RWBY and JNPR have all seen before… but never together like THIS." Viridi said.
"Uh, what's that?" Pyrrha asked, pointing to a purple like enemy approaching them.
"Oh, that's a Primid." Pit said. "…Wait, A PRIMID?!" He yelled.
"Huh, well, you DID see those Subspace foes during that Subspace Emissary incident during the Brawl Tournament…" Viridi said.
"If I see Tabuu here, I'm gonna scream." Pit said.
"I have a hunch the Chaos Kin could be creating them."
"That's even worse!"
"Don't tell me the Chaos Kin has an endless supply of enemies!" Weiss complained.
"No, I don't think that's possible. Even though these enemies are knock-offs, they're real enough to hurt all of you. So I'm sure they require quite a bit of energy to create. Which means this will be an endurance contest between all of you and the Chaos Kin."
"Oh, don't you worry! We can outlast any kind of evil moth!" Pit said.
"Yeah!" Nora declared as they proceeded to go to town with the enemies, including some Primids that were showing up, and then took down a wave of Shy Guys.
"Why does it have to be Shy Guys? I love Shy Guys!" Pit said. "…Well, maybe except for Anti-Guy." He said.
"You love those mask wearing things? Ugh, I'm more of a Wiggler kind of gal myself."
"Oooof course you are." Pit said as they got rid of the Shy Guys.
"It feels wrong hurting the Shy Guys since some of them are not actually evil." Ren said.
"Not like these are the real thing." Weiss added as they proceeded to take out the first wave… and when they saw a treasure chest, Pit ran to open it up… only for it to disappear.
"Hey, where's my treasure che-" A Mite kicked him over the head. "YOW!" He yelled as he turned to see an army of Mites. "Ugh, THESE things."
"What about them?" Blake asked.
"Small, but freaking annoying, that's what!" Pit said.
"Uh… anyway, time for the second wave!"
"And here's my second… AAAGH!" Pit yelled, slashing through the Mites angrily. "Man, I hate these things!" He said as the rest were taking on some Rezdas while being careful about the Orne, and then they proceeded to take down the rest.
"And here comes the third wave! …This is getting old fast…" Viridi said.
"Tell me about it!" Weiss said, taking care of a Primid as they saw several Bullet Bill Blasters appearing and then shooting out Koopas, Monoeyes, a Bombed, and Miks, while Pit looked at some unique Tribytes.
"These Aurum Troops are doing their best Game and Watch impression…" Pit pointed out, as he took care of the Bombed… and then kicked its head into a Tribyte.
"Check out the gaming IQ on this genius! You're a regular video game historian!" Viridi said with an impressed tone. "But enough nerding around, this place is crawling with Cacaws and Mites!"
"Why did you create such an annoying little bastard in the first place?" Yang asked.
"You can thank the Chaos Kin for this! Don't blame me!" Viridi said as they proceeded to take down the small Cacaws and Mites, and then the Bullet Bill Blasters disappeared…. And in came some Belunkas. "Really? A Fourth Wave? That Chaos Kin is persistent!"
"Not to mention cowardly!" Yang added.
"Well, so are we! …Not the cowardly part." Pit said.
"Those two big Belunkas are spawning the Armins and the Primids! Actually, spawning is a polite way of putting it. Barfing up is more like it."
"Ugh, hurl…" Pit groaned.
"I didn't need to hear that." Pyrrha said as they proceeded to take down the Armins and the Primids and took down one of the Belunkas… but when they turned to the other one, it proceeding to barf out some Primids with swords.
"Wait, those Primid things have plasma-like swords?!" Jaune asked.
"Oh, Beam Sword Primids." Pit said.
"Beam Swords? Ugh, Lightsaber sounds SO much better!" Viridi complained as they got rid of the other Belunka as Jaune got rid of one Beam Sword Primid and the others took care of the rest… mostly because Jaune and that Primid were struggling, and then more enemies showed up. "The fifth wave is here!"
"This is getting ridiculous!" Weiss complained.
"Right?!" Pit exclaimed.
"Shoot that Pluton before it steals anything from you and gives it to that Poppant! NO WAIT! Don't shoot, those Shootflies will react to your fire!"
"Which is it?! Shoot or don't shoot?!" Pit asked.
"Um… melee! Melee like crazy! Melee till the cows come home!" Viridi said as Nora smirked as she jumped up in the air and slammed her club to the ground, creating a huge explosion that got rid of everything. "Or… explode everything…"
"Just leave it to Nora." Pyrrha chuckled.
"Wave six!" Viridi said, and then noticed something. "Wait, that's a Boom Stomper and some Bumpety Bombs! Those are MY troops too!"
"Don't forget the Bob-ombs and Beowolves." Blake said.
"And the Bombeds!" Pit added, then noticed something. "And a Roturret?!"
Viridi growled. "Seeing these copies of my warriors turns my stomach!" She said as Jaune and Pyrrha dodged the Roturret's attacks as Pyrrha threw her sword at the Roturret to get rid of it, with the help of Pit.
"Boom Stomper and Bumpety Bomb, huh? You came up with those names yourself?" Pit said.
"Sounds pretty original if you ask me." Weiss sarcastically said.
"Are you two getting smart with me?"
"No, I'm just curious… maybe not Weiss, but I'm actually curious." Pit said.
"Because I DID come up with those names myself. Aren't they just the cutest?"
"Riiiiiight, cute…" Yang said, grabbing a Bombed's head and throwing it at a Paragoomba and some Aurum enemies.
"Bumpety Bomb…" Viridi giggled. "Have you ever heard of something so adorable?"
"I thought Zwei was adorable?" Nora asked.
"Oh, don't get me wrong, Zwei is totally adorable… but he's not part of the Forces of Nature, unfortunately. It's too bad, because I actually wanna keep him!" She giggled again. "You're just so cute, yes you are! Yes you are!"
"Um…" Ren rubbed his arm awkwardly after dealing with a Primid and then another wave came.
"Wave seven!"
"I've just about had it!" Weiss complained.
"You have to take down that Shildeen."
"It has some body guards though." Blake said. "A few Quoils and… what the heck are those sparky things?"
"Jyks?!" Pit exclaimed. "Darn it, you can't even hurt them! Why did Tabuu have to create such an annoying little pest?!"
"Something tells me you got shocked by a lot of those…"
"Don't forget burned…" Pit muttered.
"So, you can't kill them?" Blake asked.
"Nope…"
"Aww…" Nora pouted as they proceeded to take down the Shildeen and the Quoils, and then the next wave arrived.
"And here comes the eighth wave!"
"It's just a few Underworld Komaytos." Pit said. "And some Glires, Glunders, Glices… AND ANOTHER ORNE?! OH NO!"
"This could spell trouble. Stay away from the Orne and focus on the Komaytos and the Glunder family!"
"These Subspace guys have really weird names…" Weiss said.
"I know! I mean, we got even weirder ones like Nagagog, Gamygas and even-" Pit paused as he looked at a Komaytos as Nora swung her hammer away at one. "…You know, these Komaytos look oddly like little Metroids."
"No! Shhh! Stop right there!"
"What's the matter? All I said was that Komaytos look like little Metr-"
"Hmm hmm HMM hmm! I can't hear you!"
"Hey, what's YOUR problem?"
"This universe and THAT universe have NOTHING to do with each other! So don't go around spreading rumors!"
"Uh, excuse me, but do you NOT remember several chapters ago where Samus came to help us with the Space Pirates?!" Pit asked.
"Pit, Viridi wasn't around at the time!" Weiss reminded him.
"Oh, right." Pit sweatdropped. "Okay, well how about the time where I actually fought her in the Brawl tournament and the upcoming fourth one?!"
"Who cares about that?! I'm just going to point out that the Komaytos look NOTHING like Metroids!"
"My my, someone's in denial…" Pit muttered.
"What's with her?" Nora asked.
"Something something have to do with Samus, I think…" Blake said as they got rid of the enemies after getting burned or electrified… and one tried to freeze Weiss but that didn't get it anywhere.
"Hope you guys aren't getting too tired, the ninth wave is coming up!"
A few Greaps showed up for the party… and just when things looked easy, something landed on top of them… or someone as the someone growled.
"Oh geez! Not that guy again!" Pit exclaimed. "Metal or… whatever his name is!"
Pause BGM
"Meta again?! Geez! I think Hades came by for a visit!" Viridi said.
"He did." Palutena said. "My Centurions are holding him off for now, but that Meta guy seems to have snuck in."
Meta growled, glaring at all of them and looked at the Amazon Warrior once more. He seemed to be real interested in her, aiming his Brute Shot directly at her, also noticing that the little red haired girl was not with them, but he didn't seem to care.
"I… think this is the ninth wave." Pit said.
"A boss fight in the middle of an endurance run? Huh, that's actually… pretty smart." Viridi said.
Why does he seem so interested in me? Pyrrha wondered with a worried expression as they prepared for battle.
BGM: Mental Meta Metal (Red vs Blue)
Meta proceeded to shoot them with the Brute Shot as they quickly dodged. Yang proceeded to fire right at him, but Meta dodged the attack and ran forward, punching Yang right in the head to knock her back and proceeded to go right for Pyrrha as she took a step back and then shot him with her Nikos Blade.
Meta didn't seem to mind and grabbed her by the throat, growling something in her face as Pyrrha couldn't sworn the growl said 'Carolina' before she kicked him off and then threw her shield at him, but he punched it to the ground and ran straight for her, but then Blake slashed through him to knock him back.
Meta got back up and then brought out his Magnum, proceeding to shoot them as Pit pulled out a Smart Bomb he picked up from a Glunder and then smirked. "TAKE THIS!" He yelled, throwing it as the bomb exploded as Meta glared at Pit and then ran forward, punching him as Pit ducked and slashed him back, but not before he kicked him in the face. "Ow!"
Weiss stabbed Myrtenaster to the ground, creating ice for Meta to slip on and then she ran forward, slashing and shooting him repeatedly. Meta tried to regain his footing before he stabbed the ice to regain his footing and then he sweep kicked Weiss down as he aimed the blade of the Brute Shot to Weiss' chest and tried to impale her, but Nora jumped into the scene and swung her hammer to knock him back.
Meta quickly stopped time after he recovered and then ran forward, taking down these pathetic fools easily and then glared right at the warrior as time resumed. "Ow… what… happened…?!" Jaune asked before realizing that Meta was right in front of Pyrrha. "Pyrrha!"
Ren growled, aiming his bow and shooting him, but Meta paid no attention to him and grabbed Pyrrha by the throat and then threw her to the ground, and then kicked her in the shin to cause her to yell in pain and then he aimed his Magnum right at her chest.
What's… with this guy…?! Pyrrha wondered, trying to process why he seems so obsessed with her all of a sudden as Meta was about to pull the trigger… when suddenly a dark arrow hit the Magnum, causing him to growl and looked up to see Dark Pit coming down.
"Pittoo!" Pit exclaimed.
"Don't call me that!" Dark Pit growled. "Good thing I got here just in time."
"And where were you?!" Yang asked.
"I got lost." He simply said before aiming his Dark Pit staff at Meta and shot him, as the shot went through him as he growled in agony and fell on one knee. Dark Pit ran over, putting his Dark Pit Staff away and brought out his Silver Bow, slashing him repeatedly and shooting him to knock Meta down.
Meta got back up, growling and then glared at the dark angel before looking at the amazon princess herself and clenched his fists. Oh well, guess he'll have to get rid of her another day, especially when this dark angel did heavy damage on his armor as he opened up a portal and then ran in.
End BGM
Dark Pit sighed. "Well, he won't be a problem anymore." He said, helping up Pyrrha.
"Why are you so interested in helping us anyway?" Pit asked.
"Put it this way. When you were a ring, I was less than nothing. Unconscious. Un-myself. We're connected. No you, no me. Two sides of the same coin." He said.
"So, would this mean that there's no Dark Ruby since Ruby's kinda… almost dead?" Nora asked.
"I doubt it. Those are more complete copied versions of themselves." Dark Pit said. "I'm more… incomplete, if you will."
"…I don't follow."
"Oh, never mind. We got a bug to destroy." Dark Pit said.
"Yeah, because you know what time it is? IT'S TIME FOR THE TENTH WAVE!" Viridi yelled, as there were some Roaders, Guttlers, some flopping Cheep Cheeps, and a single Roturret.
Resume Chaos Island BGM
"Let me at 'em!" Dark Pit smirked.
"Defeat that Guttler first. Guttlers get more powerful the more they eat." Viridi said as they proceeded to get rid of the Guttler.
"Well, so do I!" Pit said.
"They really don't have the most discriminating tastes. They'll eat anything."
"Well, so does Pit." Dark Pit said.
"And Nora." Ren added.
"Hey, at least I don't eat my friends!" Pit said.
"I'm more of a pancake girl myself." Nora chuckled as they proceeded to take care of the others as Pit thought of something.
"Okay, seriously. Why couldn't there be any Kirby enemies? I'd like a breather!"
"Yeah well, that cute little puffball isn't here, so no can do!" Viridi said as they got rid of the other enemies. "Here comes the eleventh wave! I can feel the Chaos Kin getting tired."
"Just gotta power through it." Yang said, and even though they were getting tired… the thought of them saving Ruby motivated them, as they proceeded to take on some Igniots.
"Igniots can temporally paralyze you if you get in their way. So try to avoid that!"
"…That's it? No joke or snappy commentary?" Pit asked.
"This is wave eleven! The time for jokes is over!" Dark Pit said as they proceeded to take care of the Igniots, Primids, Ursa and Creepers and then they were quickly eliminated… and then the NEXT wave arrived.
"Wave twelve! TWELVE! I think we're close to the end!"
"You keep saying that but the enemies keep coming!" Weiss complained.
"Bickering won't help us! If we want to defeat evil, we have to unite as good!" Pit pointed out.
"No, if we want to defeat evil, we have to unite against platitudes!" Viridi said as they got rid of some Tickens, Towtows, angry Wigglers, Snifits, Beowolves and some Megontas bouncing around, but they quickly powered through and then they were on the last wave. "We're at the thirteenth wave! I'm sure this is it!"
"Then it's time." Dark Pit said.
"Time for what?" Pit asked.
"Our pre-boss-battle rallying cry!" Dark Pit declared.
"Oh! Right!" Pit grinned. "Okay, ahem… Filth of the land, hear our words!"
"And see our actions!"
"I am Pit, servant of the Goddess of Light!"
"And I am Dark Pit, servant to no other than myself!"
"Together we will rain death upon you!" They both said.
"So, if anyone wants to die, step right up!" Dark Pit said.
"And anyone who doesn't want to die, too bad!"
"Aw yeah!" Pit and Dark Pit both said as they both high fived… while everyone else stared at them sweatdropping, including some Paratroopas, Primids, an Ursa, some Monoeyes and Cymuls, and even a Beowolf all looked at them as if the two of them lost their minds, while the Ursa was holding a 3/10 card.
"Nice speech, guys. Did you stay up all night writing it? Or maybe it's your super-secret twin connection talking!" Viridi said.
"Eh, I give it a 7.8 out of 10." Palutena said.
"Alright, alright! Enough from the peanut gallery!" Dark Pit exclaimed as they proceeded to take out all the enemies with the help of WBY and JNPR.
End BGM
It was at this moment that the Chaos Kin appeared before them, glaring at them all. "Well, look who's here." Yang smirked, cracking her knuckles.
"It's game over, Chaos Kin!" Pit glared at the Chaos Kin, as it panicked and flew off.
"Here, let me help!" Viridi said as the Chaos Kin smacked right into a force field. "There, that should make things easier for all of you."
"Thanks, Viridi! You're always thinking!" Pit said.
BGM: Boss Battle 1 (Kid Icarus: Uprising)
"Alright, let's get down to business!" Weiss said as she ran forward, firing from her Orbitars as it flew off and fired at them, as they dodged and kept hitting it as it attempted to hit them back until it was trapped in an electric fence that was also set up by Viridi.
"YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS, CHAOS KIN!" Pit yelled, firing a Mega Laser at the thing before running over and slashing through it.
"Eating souls is one thing, but going after the soul of a Goddess is another!" Dark Pit said.
"Palutena resisted having her soul eaten in three years. I have to hand it to her, that's some kind of strength of will."
"I feel so sorry for her…" Pit muttered.
"She was resisting for so long… she was waiting for you to come home, Pit." Viridi said.
"I was. I was also waiting for RWBY to come back too… but mostly Pit." Palutena piped up.
"Aw thanks!" Pit smiled.
"Let's not dwell in the past." Dark Pit said. "Right now, we have to focus on the present. Ruby's life is at stake!"
"Right!" Yang said as they proceeded to go all out on the Chaos Kin as it tried to retaliate… but then suddenly Pit tackled it to the ground and pinned it.
End BGM
"THIS IS FOR LADY PALUTENA!" He yelled, slashing it in half. "THIS IS FOR PUTTING ME INTO A RING!" He yelled, slashing him in pieces again. "THIS IS FOR TAKING RUBY'S SOUL AWAY!" He yelled. "THIS IS FOR TAKING THE LOVE OF MY LIFE AWAY FROM ME!" He screamed, proceeding to go all out on the Chaos Kin, screaming in fury. "AND THIS... THIS IS FOR ANYTHING ELSE I CAN'T THINK OF!" He shot a Mega Lazar at the bug, incinerating it until it was nothing but ash.
"Well, didn't know he had it in him." Dark Pit said.
"Aww, I wanted a shot at it!" Nora complained.
"THAT'S the last thing we need." Blake said before Weiss caught an exhausted Pit.
"You feeling okay?" Weiss asked.
Pit sighed. "I am now. Man I needed to let that out."
"Remind me to never get on your bad side." Yang joked. "But the Chaos Kin is no more… and Ruby's soul is right there." She said, pointing over to Ruby's soul floating above the remains of the Chaos Kin.
"I'm sending Ruby's petrified body to you." Palutena said, and with a beam of light, Ruby's body appeared before them, and Ruby's soul gently floated over to the body, and her petrified body disappeared, revealing her good ol' self again.
BGM: Zelda's Lullaby (The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time)
"U-ugh… agh…" Ruby groaned as she nearly fell over but caught herself, then seeing the group… but mostly at Pit. "…Pit…?"
"Hey Ruby." Pit smiled as Yang elbowed Pit.
"Go get 'er, tiger." She smiled as Pit nodded and walked forward as Ruby tried to walk forward but stumbled, but Pit caught her.
"Easy there…" He whispered and helped her up. "I'm so glad you're okay."
"Pit…" She smiled as she stood back up and looked at his eyes. "Thank you…"
"Anytime." He said as he looked behind him, only for everyone to motion him to go forward, even Dark Pit was doing it. "Um… Ruby… there's something I've been meaning to say to you…"
Ruby continued to look at him. "Yes?"
"Listen… you were the first to confess and… well… there's something I want to say." He said. "I…. I…"
Go on, say it! Dark Pit thought, completely unaware of the remains of the Chaos Kin slowly making its way over to the dark angel.
"I… I… l-lo-"
End BGM
"AAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" Dark Pit suddenly screamed as they gasped and turned to see the Chaos Kin dragging Dark Pit into the depths.
"Oh no…" Pit released his grip from Ruby and ran over to go save him. "PITTOO!"
"Pit, wait a minute!" Weiss exclaimed as Pit jumped over.
"PIT!" Ruby yelled.
"Red head, go after him!" Viridi said, as the Rose Star came in as she hopped on and flew after him.
"AAAAUGH!" Dark Pit continued to scream.
"Viridi! I need to fly!"
"You already used your Power of Flight, don't you remember? If I enable it now, your wings will catch fire!"
"The Chaos Kin is going to go destroy Pittoo! Can't you see what's at stake here?! I don't care if my wings catch fire!"
"No way! Just forget about it! Ruby's on her way down to get the both of you!"
"By the time Ruby gets me, there's no way she's going to get Pittoo in time! If I don't help him now, we won't have another chance! I'm begging you, Viridi! Let me fly! NOW!"
"Uuugh… fine! But whatever happens to you isn't my fault!" Viridi said and then she enabled the Power of Flight.
"YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" Pit screamed.
"Hang in there, Pit! Be strong!"
"Help… me…" Dark Pit pleaded.
"PIIIIT!" Ruby screamed, using everything she could to get her star to go faster. Come on… come on! I'm almost there! She thought… before she decided to launch herself off and used her semblance.
"Oh come on!" Viridi exclaimed.
Ruby nearly got to Pit just as soon as he caught him, and then Ruby grabbed a hold of Pit's leg. "Agh! Ruby!" Pit exclaimed.
"Viridi! Pull us up! NOW!" Ruby said.
"Don't tell ME what to do!" Viridi said and then whisked them all away to safety back on the island, including Ruby's star, as three of them had collapsed on the ground.
"Nngh…" Ruby groaned.
"H-how's… Pit…?" Dark Pit asked.
"Pit… Pit's in bad shape…" Viridi solemnly said as Ruby came around and got back up, seeing Pit's burnt wings.
Oh no… Ruby thought, tearing up.
"He can't fly… he's barely breathing…"
Suddenly, they heard footsteps as Palutena walked forward, as she came into the Chaos Vortex as soon as Pit did that bold move. "Palutena? What are you doing?" Viridi asked as Palutena knelt down as Ruby cradled Pit into her arms as the rest gathered around.
"My wish would be… to fly by myself! I'll return to Skyworld victorious!"
"Pit…" Ruby said, tears falling and landing on his cheek.
"Pit, I know you love Ruby."
"Oh, is it that obvious…?"
"Yes."
Pit sighed. "When she comes back… I'll tell her how I feel. I love her… and I will do ANYTHING to protect her, just like she does with me. I'll do anything… even if it means embarrassing myself just to confess my love to her!"
These words echoed in Palutena's mind and she sighed. "Oh, Pit…" She sighed, nearly tearing up in the process as they were all whisked away back to Skyworld.
Palutena knew of one thing that could save Pit, but getting there is the hard part.
One thing to another, am I right?
