The Flame of Immortality

by CatholicPrincess15

After Hades was defeated, Pit has led a quiet life. That is, until Palutena announced a permanent merge of forces between Palutena's Army and the Forces of Nature. The process begins by exchanging lavish gifts to the other goddess. However, Phosphora has a special present for Pit, but before she is able to give it to him, is captured by Hades. Can Pit save his not-so-secret crush?

39. Round Two

Chapter 39

I caught up to my girlfriend (it was fun saying that) and the horrible god. Hades shot out lasers from his legs. I complained, "Is that all you do? Lasers? Nothing else?"

Phosphora and I dodged. I fired the Great Sacred Treasure's lasers at him, only to be stopped by his stupid force shields. Phosphora sighed. "I guess it's up to me to get rid of them! Hey Hades, it's time you learned something; I'm more than just a pretty face!" She flew to his force shields and applied some sort of magic pressure on them, and they cracked.

I took the opportunity to start my attack again. After many more of these cycles, I landed on Hades' back. I almost puked. "Ew! So many unnatural growths! They're hideous!"

Hades retorted, "The fact that my growths resemble my face makes them gorgeous."

Phosphora gagged. "Ugh! I think I'm going to sick!"

The faces started barfing up lasers. I got hit by one and tripped. I fell right on one of Hades' growths. Slime coated me. I grimaced. "Mayday! Mayday!"

Lady Palutena shouted, "Get the weak spot on his back!"

Phosphora took out some of the growths. I hammered away at the weak spot on his back. A powerful laser sent me sprawling back into the growths again. I squealed in horror.

Lady Viridi suggested, "You really need a bath after this."

I moaned, "Where are Blade and Arlon?"

Lady Palutena held her head in her hands. "They're still catching up."

I advanced back toward the weak spot on his back and hacked at it with the Great Sacred Treasure's laser attack. After a while of this routine, Hades yanked me into his hand. I cried, "Let me go!"

I bit his hand for good measure. He flung me away, and I smacked into Blade. Blade snapped, "Pit stain! Watch where you're going!"

I straightened myself. "Hey, Hades was the one tossing me around in the air! It's not my fault he's a maniac!"

Blade, Arlon, and I flew back to where Phosphora was fighting Hades. She zipped over to us. "I got all of his disgusting growths down, but the weak spot on his back still needs to be dealt with. And I did enough work this phase."

Blade volunteered, "I want the fiend's blood." He struck at Hades' vulnerable spot, and I assisted him with the Great Sacred Treasure's lasers.

Hades flipped over and winked. "COUNTERATTACK!" A barrage of lasers struck Blade and me down.

I winced from all the sore spots on my body. "What was that?"

Lady Viridi answered, "It looks like he hit you with the same amount of force you used against him."

Yippee.

Blade flew back up to where the others were. "Argh! Time for round three! And I won't lose to the likes of you!"
