Chapter 17: The Aurum Brain + DLC: Another New Form

Music playing: The Aurum Brain

Pit rushed to the door with the Gemini Orbitars equipped. "Let's finish the Aurum once and for all!" he exclaimed as he leaped into space to defeat Devil Pit's army. Everyone else is on the scene to stop him. "Commencing Underworld assault on the Aurum central nervous system!" Hades ordered his Underworld Army. "Children! Our final target is the brains behind this operation! The Aurum Brain!" Viridi ordered her Forces of Nature. "Sun god Pyrrhon on the scene! Now with added Pyro Cannon action!" said Pyrrhon. "Minions! Attack everything that stands in our way! Leave no trace behind and show them no mercy!" Devil Pit ordered his Aurum Army. "With all us gods—er, and Pyrrhon—united, the Aurum Brain doesn't stand a chance," said Palutena. "It's kind of crazy!" Pit exclaimed. "The biggest egos in the universe working together?" Pit continued onwards while all of the other armies team up to stop Devil Pit's Aurum Army of the Dark Allies. "Drive the intruders back into space, minions!" Hades ordered. "We cannot lose! Our planet's very existence is on the line!" Viridi exclaimed. "Do your thing, Pyro Snake! Shazammitylam!" Pyrrhon exclaimed. "Everyone seems to be in good spirits, though," said Pit. "Or they've finally lost it," said Palutena. "I will not let you fools get in the way of our master plan!" Devil Pit yelled out. "System! Send out everything and make sure you do whatever it takes to have them DEAD!" "ALL ENTITES SHALL BE ELMINATED! NONE SHALL BE LEFT STANDING!" the system stated as more and more Aurum enemies appeared to stop the other armies, Pit, and Pyrrhon. Just then, Pit saw the Aurum Brain fortress where Devil Pit is located. "Now that we've defeated the Aurum Hive, we need to take down that fortress," said Palutena. "It's huge!" Pit exclaimed. "It houses the Aurum Brain, which controls every single Aurum unit," said Palutena. "It's also where Devil Pit sent out all of his minions we faced earlier." "How did you know that?" Pit asked. "Oh, Pyrrhon told me," Palutena responded. "Man, is that guy obsessed with the Aurum or what?" Pit questioned. "He sure knows a lot about them." "That's because I spend a lot of time on Divinipedia," said Pyrrhon. (A/N: For those of you who don't know, that's a reference to Wikipedia. Divinipedia is also an actual fandom site. Go and check it out for yourself if you have the time. Anyways, resume.) And I also heard about Devil Pit's sneaky little plan, he added in thought. The other gods told me about him, and I cannot let his crimes continue any further. "Divinipedia?" Pit wondered. "Send me the link." "The time for learning has passed," said Pyrrhon. "Attack the Aurum Brain!" "Don't you even think that you'll be able to stop me and my forces that easily," said Devil Pit. "This universe will be consumed and the new world will be ours to rule!" "Not on our watch!" Pit and Pyrrhon said together. They continue to take down more and more Aurum enemies, with the help of the Underworld and Forces of Nature, and proceed onwards to destroy the Aurum Brain. "I'm heading in!" Pit exclaimed after receiving four more Recovery Orbs and he entered the fortress. "This path will take us directly to the Aurum Brain," Pyrrhon explained. "Come on, Pit! It's time for us to take this space junk to the space dump!" "We'll see about that, immortals!" said Devil Pit. "Stop them by any means necessary, minions!" The two deities continued to take down more and more Aurum enemies sent by Devil Pit until they finally reached the Aurum Brain.

"So this is the Aurum Brain..." said Pit. "Do your thing, Pit. You know, your...shooting thing," said Pyrrhon. "Minions! Stop those fools from destroying the brain!" Devil Pit ordered as his Aurum minions appeared to slow Pit down from destroying the Aurum Brain. But it wasn't enough as Pit continued to attack the brain. He continued to fight against the brain, until... "It's brain-frying time!" Pyrrhon exclaimed. "What are you doing?!" Pit asked in shock as Pyrrhon entered the brain in order to destroy it. That's right, foolish Sun God, Devil Pit thought. You are now under my control. You're the perfect vessel sacrifice for my army and now we will become stronger! "Hold on, Pit! I'm getting you out!" said Palutena as she flew Pit away from the fortress. "Waaaaaaaah!" Pit cried as he flew away as fast as he could. The fire was burning up the exit as it tried to take Pit with it. "Just a little farther!" said Palutena and Pit flew out of the fortress just in time before he was burnt to a crisp. "I don't know what even happened in there!" he exclaimed. "Did Pyrrhon make it out?" But it wasn't until he heard his voice. "Ha ha ha ha ha!" he laughed. HA HA HA HA HA HA!" He then revealed his projection.

"Nicely done!" said the Sun God. "Pyrrhon?" Pit exclaimed after seeing him. "Thanks to you, Pyrrhon has leveled up!" Pyrrhon continued. "I am now a Level Infinity Epic Super God...Plus! Ultimate power is now Pyrrhon's!" Devil Pit also appeared as a projection next to Pyrrhon. "I'm proud of you as well for helping me with the backup plan, Pit!" he said. "He is now under my control, and thanks to you, our army has grown even stronger!" "What are you talking about?" Pit asked. "This is what we're talking about!" Pyrrhon replied. Devil Pit sent out his Aurum minions and their color forms changed from green to red. "The Aurum troops changed color!" Pit exclaimed. "HA HA HA HA HA HA! I'm pulling the Aurum strings with Devil Pit now!" Pyrrhon laughed. "Not even the combined power of the gods can stop us!" "I'm very pleased to see his enthusiasm of our army," said Devil Pit. "Oh, snap! Poor Pitty got duped!" said Hades. "This might not be the best time to rub salt in the wound," said Viridi. "What kind of rats tricks an angel, Pyrrhon and Devil Pit?" Pit yelled out. "What?! I can't hear you over all this awesome!" Pyrrhon replied. "Allow me to explain," Devil Pit started. "I tricked you. I was planning to corrupt Pyrrhon by making him enter the Aurum Brain. As the Sun God, he's powerful enough to make my army stronger and is the perfect vessel to be corrupted. So I sacrificed most of my troops to lure Pyrrhon into the brain, and the plan was successful! And now, you will bow down before the masters of the new world!" "We won't let that happen!" Pit yelled. "And we're not going to let you destroy everything!" Viridi agreed. But more and more stronger Aurum troops came out to stop Pit from continuing on. Devil Pit and Pyrrhon are having a fun time with their victim. "Yow! This is intense!" Pit cried. "So, anyone have any bright ideas on how to take them out?" Hades asked. "I suppose we have no choice," said Viridi. "This is it, my single remaining jewel." "Wait a second..." said Pit. "Is that a RESET BOMB?!" "What the?!" Devil Pit exclaimed upon seeing the familiar ball of light. "Time to let nature take its course!" said Viridi. The bomb then exploded right on the fortress. "This is out of control!" Pit exclaimed. "Who's awesome now, Pyrrhon and Devil Pit?!" Viridi laughed. But the last laugh was cut short when the Reset Bomb Forest burst into flames. "HA HA HA HA HA HA!" Pyrrhon laughed. "Is that really all you've got?" Viridi was shocked to see that. "How could this happen?!" she asked, surprised. "You fool!" said Devil Pit. "Did you seriously think you could take down GODS with that puny bomb? Especially ever since what they did to me all those years ago!" Then there was trouble. (A/N: For those of you that don't know Thomas and Friends that much, you might not know the reference.) "I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the Power of Flight is running out," said Palutena. "So now what?" Pit asked, worried. "I'm sorry, Pit. I have to get you out of there," said Palutena. She tried to open a light pillar to extract Pit away, but nothing happened and he was still fighting enemies. "Oh no!" Palutena gasped. "What's wrong?" Viridi asked. "I can't extract him," said Palutena. "I don't understand why." "That's because you don't have an associate's degree in telepathic interference!" said Pyrrhon. "Are you blocking me?" asked Palutena. "Ahahahahahaha! Who's the one laughing now, fools?!" Devil Pit laughed. "Our plan for destruction will soon be in our hands and nothing is going to stop us!" And then there was even more trouble. Pit's wings started to catch fire. "My wings are getting hot!" he yelped in pain. "Are you feeling the burn, flightless angel?!" asked Devil Pit. "I'm sorry! I can't carry you any farther!" Palutena warned. "I have to cut off the Power of Flight!" The Power of Flight was then cut off and Pit started to fall to his doom. "Waaaaah!" he cried. "Pit! PIT!" Palutena cried in worry. "AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Pyrrhon and Devil Pit laughed at Pit's demise, menacingly and sinisterly. "Mayday! Mayday! This looks like the end!" Pit cried. "I never learned how to reeeeead!" "Ugh, pull yourself together!" said Viridi. "I've got you covered." "Viridi!" Pit yelped. "All you have to do is line yourself up with the platform below," Viridi instructed. "Why don't you just give up and die?!" Devil Pit told Pit. "There's no point in defeating the Aurum this time. We are unstoppable. You can't fly anymore and now this is where you will finally meet your demise!" But Pit refused to listen to the Devil's words and lined himself to the platform. "No! I refuse to be defeated!" he yelled back. "I will stop both you and Pyrrhon and we'll bring the Sun God back from your clutches!" He then landed at the platform Viridi sent in.

Music stops and switches to: To the Aurum Brain (Part 1)

Pit roughly landed on the platform with loud crash. "Ouch..." he groaned upon standing up slowly. "Whew, I'm glad you're all right," Palutena sighed in relief. "But why did you save me, Viridi?" Pit asked after eating the food. "I don't get it." "There's nothing to get," Viridi replied. "Just shut your yapper and get ready to fight!" "By invading our land, the Aurum have declared war on all of us," Palutena explained. "And with Pyrrhon on their side, thanks to Devil Pit for corrupting him, they've become even more powerful! If we don't defeat them today, we may not have a tomorrow." "Ugh, do you ever get tired of being such a nerd?" asked Viridi. "All you need are twenty-sided dice and some thick glasses." Which is of course what Palutena putted on her face. "My X-ray specs allow me to see your ignorance," she said. "Are you serious right now?" said Devil Pit while facepalming. "Yeah yeah, enough with the lame comedy routine," Viridi replied in her usual sassy attitude but then continued on seriously. "It's time for us to strike!" Pit then continued to face off against more enemies sent by Devil Pit and Pyrrhon. "I'm surprised to see that you're still alive and kicking!" Devil Pit replied. "But don't think you'll survive for too long! We've got loads of tricks just for you." Pit continued to fight more and more enemies, until... "This isn't much space to fight on," he said. "Picky picky! Maybe this will suit His Majesty a little better," said Viridi. She then sent her troops to Pit another platform to make it bigger. "Thanks! This is MUCH better!" Pit thanked. "Oh joy," Devil Pit said while facepalming. "Maybe you two should get a room together since the platform might fit the both of you." "EWWWWW!" the angel and Nature Goddess groaned in disgust. "It looks like Viridi has also donated some of her forces to carry the platform," said Palutena. "But this platform is bigger, so there's more room for enemies. Stay on your guard!" Pit soon realized that there are indeed more Aurum troops sent by Devil Pit and Pyrrhon. But he continued to fight against them and took all of them down. Then, he noticed an Aurum Aircraft Carrier up above. "That Aurum ship flying overhead is the size of a continent!" said Palutena. "If it were me, I wouldn't sweat it," said Hades. "You would probably get used to it because of how we control it," said Devil Pit. " Enemies incoming, Pit!" Palutena warned. "Get your own platform, jerks!" Pit yelled at them as he took them down. "Aw come on! We just want some more fun with you," said Devil Pit. "How about no?!" Pit replied. "I'm not going to let you and Pyrrhon give me more trouble!" Pit then continued to take down more Aurum enemies. Suddenly, the carrier began to lower down. "That Aurum ship is going to engulf your entire platform!" said Viridi. That was exactly what it did. "Augh! I'm trapped!" Pit yelped. "Aurum vermin!" Viridi yelled. "They're well coordinated, I'll give them that," said Hades. "I thank you for the compliment," Devil Pit thanked. "We always want to make our intruders nice and comfortable." "Be careful, Pit! Those walls are extremely hot!" Palutena warned. "Children! Full speed ahead! Hyah!" Viridi ordered her troops as they moved faster and Pit took down more enemies. Suddenly, there as an enemy blocking his way. "There's an Aurum Dohz ahead blocking your way!" said Palutena. "Get rid of it!" "Oh no you don't! You're not getting out of that ship, flightless angel!" said Devil Pit. Luckily, Pit managed to take it down. "All right!" Viridi exclaimed. "My thoughts exactly!" Pit cheered. "Damn it!" Devil Pit groaned. Soon enough, Pit got out of the carrier. "I made it out of the ship!" he said. "Good job, but there are enemies closing in from all directions. Watch out!" Palutena warned. "Our little sun buddy and escaped prisoner must have a thing for you, Pit," said Hades. "Of course they do," said Viridi. "Pit's the only one that loon considers an equal. Except for the fact that Devil Pit is more monstrous." Pit then continued to take down more Aurum enemies. Suddenly, a Kolma appeared on the platform. "Ugh!" Pit gasped. "Looks like you've got company," said Palutena. "That Kolma is trying to scam a free ride!" Viridi exclaimed. "What a deadbeat!" "Attention, passengers!" said Hades. "Those who fail to pay their fare must exit the vehicle." "No thanks. We'll just continue with our crimes," Devil Pit replied. Suddenly, one Aurum Destroyer came to block the platform. "Whoaa!" Pit gasped. "You've got a battleship on your tail!" Viridi warned. Suddenly, another Aurum Destroyer appeared from the other side to stop Pit from moving. "Hoo boy!" Pit gasped again. "And one on your front!" Palutena warned. "You're being sandwiched!" said Viridi. "Ah, yes, the old sandwich tactic. How delectable!" said Hades. "I'm thankful for the nice compliment," said Devil Pit. "Shut up, Hades and Devil Pit." Viridi yelled at the both of them before ordering her troops. "Forces of Nature! Push that platform up and out of there!" The Nutskis rose the platform up and Pit was free. "Good! You broke free!" said Viridi. Then they heard a laugh. "HA HA HA HA HA! I see you're hard at work!" said Pyrrhon. "Pyrrhon!" Pit exclaimed after hearing him. "Pyrrhon Creed Number 427: Hard work should always be rewarded!" said Pyrrhon. "Which is why we got a present. For us. To destroy you. It's Pyroblaster time!" "TAKE THIS!" shouted Devil Pit and a fiery cannon burst out of the fortress. "Huh?!" Pit gasped "Uh-oh!" "Hold on!" Viridi warned. The beam soon shot at the platform with a mighty force. "Augh!" Pit yelped. "Come on, Pit!" said Viridi. "No wimping out!" Soon enough, the beam dissipated, but in the process, the Nutskis were sacrificed to save him. "See? You're fine," said Viridi. "Though I can't say the same for my troops that were carrying your platform." "I feel terrible about this," said Pit. "I can relate to that because I sacrificed my troops for my plan," said Devil Pit. "And I did the same thing to destroy that shield from the Aurum Hive," said Hades. "Our Forces of Nature allies made the ultimate sacrifice," said Palutena. "But there's no point dwelling. I called for backup." The platform that Pit was on fell and Pit was falling again. "Whoa whoa!" he gasped, then he saw Centurion Strongarms carrying the same platform. "Centurions?!" Pit gasped after seeing them. "Oh... Them again!" said Devil Pit.

"Whew. That was close," Pit sighed in relief after landing on the platform. "Glad to see you're safe, Captain!" said a Centurion Strongarm. "The centurions are in way over their heads!" Pit exclaimed. "They mean well," said Palutena. "They're just not very effective." "Pretty harsh words for your own troops," said Viridi. "Pull them out!" Pit ordered. "I don't want them to get hurt!" "Then how do you plan to make it to Pyrrhon and Devil Pit?" Palutena asked. "I-I'll think of something!" Pit responded. Though the Centurion Strongarms offer a defense. "We live to serve, Captain!" one of them said. "Your mission is to defeat Pyrrhon and Devil Pit and eliminate the Aurum forces! We dedicate our energy and resources to helping you reach that goal!" "...OK, OK," said Pit. "Then charge, soldiers!" Just then, Devil Pit appeared as a projection and saw the centurions. "Ah, if it isn't the centurions. We meet again," he said. "How long has it been ever since...that war? It's been too long I suppose. I'm just happy to see you again." "You will pay for disobeying our leader's orders!" said a Centurion Strongarm. "You've slaughtered many innocent people and we cannot allow you to continue with your crimes any longer, Ex-Captain!" "Hahahaha! I would love to see you try!" Devil Pit laughed. "Come at me and we'll see who's the one in command now!" "Wait? How do you know each other? What's going on?" Pit asked. "Allow me to confess," Devil Pit began. "I was with the Goddess of Light long ago. She gave me orders to defeat Medusa, but I instead went for someone else. I warned Palutena that if she were to banish me, I would kill her. And since she didn't listen, I went over to her temple to kill her. In return, she sent her Guard and residents to stop me. But none of them made it out alive because I KILLED THEM ALL!" He finished with black eyes and bloody sockets. "YOU MONSTER!" Pit yelled. "HOW COULD YOU DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT?! YOU WILL PAY FOR THE AWFUL SINS YOU COMMITTED AND YOUR MASSACRE!" "I would love to see you try to defeat us, flightless angel!" Devil Pit replied. Pit then took down more enemies that were trying to take down the Centurion Strongarms. They helped Pit to move the platform towards the Aurum Brain Fortress. "It seems as if our previous path into the Aurum Brain is, well, aflame," said Palutena. "You can thank Pyrrhon for that," said Hades. "You'll have to go around," said Palutena. The Centurion Strongarms then move the platform into an opening. "Going in!" one of them said. "You've got Aurum enemies on your tail!" Palutena warned. "Minions! Do not let them reach Pyrrhon! Slow them down as much as possible!" Devil Pit ordered. The Aurum proceeded to try and take down the Centurion Strongarms, but Pit made sure that they will be safe by taking the enemies down. "Ugh! Do I have to do everything myself?" Devil Pit groaned. "System! Activate the barriers to block their way." "BARRIERS ACTIVATED!" the system stated and barriers were soon activated to block Pit and the Centurion Strongarms from moving forward through the fortress. "There's an obstacle ahead!" a Centurion Strongarm warned. "Keep moving forward!" Pit ordered. "I'll take care of it!" Pit then took down the barriers and they continued onwards. "Damn it! They're getting closer!" said Devil Pit. "Battleships! Fire your lasers to slow Pit down!" Suddenly, lasers came out of the fortress to hit Pit. "Jump over the lasers to avoid getting hit!" said Palutena. "They're coming from the battleship outside," said Viridi. "Ahh, alien ingenuity at its best," said Hades. "Nobody should underestimate the all-powerful Dark Allies!" Devil Pit replied. Suddenly, more enemies came out to stop Pit from reaching Pyrrhon. "We're closing in on Pyrrhon!" said Viridi. "I hope he's decent," said Hades. "Minions! Make sure that the enemies are dead! We cannot let them ruin our master plan!" Devil Pit ordered. "Get it together, Pit!" Palutena ordered. "My poor centurions are struggling. Destroy those enemies NOW!" "I'm trying my best!" Pit replied. "Some goddess needs to go to leadership training..." said Viridi. "Hmph! Easy enough for you to say!" said Devil Pit. "In fact, I believe that you cannot stop us! The Dark Allies will swallow your souls and corpses whole and then we will bring chaos throughout the entire universe!" "NOT ON OUR WATCH!" yelled Pit and the Centurion Strongarms. Pit soon took down the enemies, drank another Drink of the Gods and he, along the the Centurion Strongarms, proceeded further. "Pyrrhon is right up ahead!" said Palutena. "Halt. Halt. Stay. Away." said Pyrrhon, and something was off about him. "Does something seem a little off about Pyrrhon?" Pit asked. "How can you even tell?" Palutena asked. "He's now fully in my control and he will do anything as I please," said Devil Pit. "Turn back now if you want to live." "NEVER!" Pit yelled out. "We will get Pyrrhon back from your fifthly hands!" They soon entered the boss room to face Pyrrhon.

The Centurion Strongarms then carry the platform and Pit soon saw Pyrrhon, who now became Aurom Pyrrhon because he was fused in the Aurum Brain, face-to-robotic-face. Aurum Pyrrhon began twitching violently. "01101011011010010110110001101100..." he said. "Pyrrhon! What are you doing?!" Pit yelled as the battle began. "Aurum Pyrrhon, take this pest down and show us who's the one taking control!" Devil Pit ordered. "Are you really controlling the Aurum, Pyrrhon?" Pit asked. "Or are they controlling you?!" "I... I... I will not be controlled..." said Aurum Pyrrhon as he struggled to break free, but was soon back in Devil Pit's control. "WE WILL NOT BE CONTROLLED." "Oh, boy. What's he gotten himself into?" asked Pit, worried. "It's just as you suspected. The Aurum Brain has overtaken Pyrrhon thanks to Devil Pit." "INTRUDER MUST BE PURGED." Aurum Pyrrhon continued. "WE MUST CONSUME ALL." "Just like bugs, the Aurum are powerful as a swarm, but not very bright," said Hades. "That's because the Dark Allies show their victims no mercy," Devil Pit replied. "We will strike all of you down until nothing remains of this shameful universe!" "They're like moths drawn to the flame of battle," said Palutena. "They live only to consume and destroy, like...hungry moths." "WE WILL MULTIPLY." Aurum Pyrrhon continued further. "WE MUST BE ALL." "In that sense, they're pretty much like any other living creature," said Viridi. "They're concerned with their own survival and propagation. Each species influences the other, and THAT is the cycle of life! But this... This is just too much. It's too destructive and too unnatural!" "We always love destruction and this is where we will consume all of your souls and corpses!" said Devil Pit. "We must destroy all of you! We must spread chaos throughout this universe!" "Well, they are an alien species. Of course they're not natural," said Palutena. "Well except for their evil patriarch leader that is." "So they're just going to eat everything?!" Pit exclaimed. "Exactly!" said Devil Pit. "We will make sure that you are all DEAD!" He finished with black eyes and bloody sockets. "Not if you stop them, Pit!" said Palutena. Pit then continued to fight against Aurum Pyrrhon and avoided his dangerous attacks. "Aurum Pyrrhon! Destroy that pest! Burn him alive until he's nothing more than a burnt skeleton!" Devil Pit ordered. "Just keep jumping and shooting to avoid Pyrrhon's attacks," Palutena explained to Pit. "However, you can't do powerful dash attacks while you're in the air." "Then I guess you need to balance jumps with dash attacks," Viridi explained as well. "Pay attention to Pyrrhon's attack patterns to time your attacks. Let him have it!" "YOU CANNOT STOP US!" said Aurum Pyrrhon. "You heard him! YOU CANNOT WIN!" shouted Devil Pit. "Yes. We! WILL!" Pit shouted and attack Aurum Pyrrhon continuously until he was finally defeated. "Go back to space!" Pit yelled in victory. "RAAAAAAAAAAWR!" Aurum Pyrrhon roared as be broke free from Devil Pit's control. Once he was out he unleashed a powerful attack that pushed Pit out of the way. "Wah!" Pit yelped. "I need to extract you!" said Palutena. The Centurion Strongarms quickly before he could get burnt to a crisp. "This seems familiar," Pit noticed. "We've been doing this a lot," said Palutena. Soon enough, Pit and the Centurion Strongarms got out of the fortress safely. The resulting explosion caused the Aurum to go back into space thanks to Pyrrhon. Thank you for freeing me, Pit, he thought. That was the most fun I had with you before I was in control by that monster. This is my gift for saving me. "With any luck, Pyrrhon will push the Aurum to the other end of the galaxy," said Palutena. "He finally does something useful," said Viridi. "Now we can get back to eliminating the real enemy," Palutena continued. "The Underworld Army." "So long, space scum!" Pit yelled.

But before Pit could get extracted by Palutena he heard a voice. "It's not over yet!" he yelled. Pit then noticed Pyrrhon was falling from the Aurum Brain Fortress. "AAAAAHHHHHHH!" he yelled. "Pyrrhon!" Pit yelped. "Soldiers! Send the platform to Pyrrhon as fast as you can!" "Yes, Captain!" a Centurion Strongarm replied. The centurions then moved the platform to Pyrrhon's direction and he landed safely onto it. "Pyrrhon, are you alright?" Pit asked. "I'm fine, citizen," said Pyrrhon. "Thanks for freeing me from those scumbags! But now we have a new problem." "And what's that?" Pit asked. "You ruined my plans, and now my whole army is gone!" Devil Pit yelled, getting their attention. "But I have a brand new backup plan! It's time for me to enter the Aurum Brain myself!" "Wait WHAT?!" Pit yelled. Devil Pit soon entered the Aurum Brain Fortress and arrived at the Aurum Brain. "Prepare yourselves, because this is where you will meet your unfortunate end!" he said. He then planted himself into the Aurum Brain and he began to transform again. This time his wings turned dark blue, his belt turned light blue, his toga turned ocean blue, his pin turned green, his skin and hair turned metallic, and his eyes glow bright bloody red. He was now known as Aurum Devil Pit. "YOU WILL ALL BE EXTERMINATED!" he stated. "REVIVING ALL ARMY TERRITORIES!" He then used his powers to restore the Aurum Islands and Aurum Hive. "He's rebuilding his entire army!" Pit exclaimed. "What are we going to do now?!" "Don't think you can take this one by yourself, Pit-stain," replied a new voice. "We can take care of these little scums together," said another voice. Pit and Pyrrhon turned around and saw... "Pittoo! Phosphora!" Pit exclaimed. "What are you doing here?" "I just came here because I heard about Devil Pit's plans, and I'm more than happy to fight him again," said Dark Pit before he growled. "And can you quit calling me that?!" Phosphora giggled at Pittoo's anger before telling Pit, "I came here because I was sent by Mistress Viridi. She told me about Devil Pit's plans and I can't wait to take him down!" "With all of us together, we can take down his army!" said Pit. "But the question is, how are we going to get over there? The Centurion Strongarms can't continue because they've already used their strength." "Fear not, Pit," said Pyrrhon. "Pyrrhon can help you get over there." He then lowered himself under the platform. "With my help, I can help the centurions to guide the platform safely." "Thank you, Pyrrhon," Pit thanked. "Now go over there and stop the Aurum together!" said Palutena. "Show them who's boss!" Viridi added. "Will do!" replied Pit, Dark Pit, and Phosphora, simultaneously. Pyrrhon and the Centurion Strongarms pushed the platform to the Aurum territory.

Aurum Devil Pit then activated himself to prepare for the fight against the trio. "Okay, we're here!" said Pyrrhon upon arriving at their destination. "But it's too dangerious for all three of us to go together," said Pit. "I guess only one of you can only start going into one of the areas to attack Devil Pit," said Palutena. "Guess I'll go first!" said Pit. "Then it will be Pittoo and lastly Phosphora." "Sounds like a plan," said Dark Pit. "I'm in!" said Phosphora. "Alright. Centurion Strongarms, hold the platform in place!" Pit ordered. "Pyrrhon will take me through the islands and then I'll be right back." "You got it, Captain!" a Centurion Strongarm responded. "Be careful!" Pit nodded and then looked at Pyrrhon. "Alright Pyrrhon! Let's do this!" he said. "You got it!" said Pyrrhon. "Hop onto my arm." Pit did so and Pyrrhon flew towards the Aurum Islands. "SYSTEMS ONLINE AT 100%! TARGETS HAVE BEEN LOCKED ON! INITIATE OFFENSIVE MEASURES!" said Aurum Devil Pit. "It looks like he sent out offensive-type enemies," said Palutena. "Pit. You and Pyrrhon need to take down all of his enemies before you can land a hit on him." "Understood!" said Pit. "We'll fry up those enemies in no time!" said Pyrrhon. They both fired shots at the enemies and continued to the first area where Aurum Devil Pit was. "Alright! I see him," said Pit. "Then let's strike at him!" said Pyrrhon. They then proceed to attack at him until he received enough damage. "Okay! Let's get going!" said Pit. The resulting damage caused the two of them to retreat while the first area was destroyed along with the Aurum Islands. "Alright! We got the first area down!" Pit exclaimed. "You're up next, Pittoo!" "Can you stop calling me that?!" the dark angel replied, annoyed. "Anyways, let's get going, Pyrrhon." "Jump onto my arm. We've got work to do!" replied the Sun God. Dark Pit did so with his Silver bow equipped and the two of them continued to the next area. "WARNING! DAMAGE REPORT! SYSTEMS ARE AT 75%! OFFENSIVE MEASURES OFFLINE!" said Aurum Devil Pit after that last encounter. Then he spotted Dark Pit and Pyrrhon and said, "NEW TARGETS LOCKED! INITIATE DEFENSIVE MEASURES!" "Sounds like he's sending out enemies that are defensive-types!" said Viridi. "Then Pittoo! You must take down the enemies before proceeding to the Hive to find Devil Pit," said Palutena. "Here goes nothing!" said Dark Pit. "Let's show those Aurum scumbags who's boss!" said Pyrrhon. The two of them then shot down the enemies and continued onwards to enter the Hive, while also taking down the battleships that were standing in the way. "I see him!" said Dark Pit upon noticing Aurum Devil Pit. "Then let's give him all we've got!" said Pyrrhon. The two of them then gave their enemy lots of damage from their attacks until he received enough damage for them to get away from. "Alright! We're out of here!" Dark Pit exclaimed. "Let's hurry!" said Pyrrhon. They then got out of the area while the second area was destroyed along with the Aurum Hive. "That's another area destroyed," said Dark Pit. "Alright Phosphora, you're up next." "Alright. Let's go, Pyrrhon!" said Phosphora. "You got it! Hop on!" said Pyrrhon. Phosphora hopped onto Pyrrhon's arm and they flew into the third area. "WARNING! DAMAGE REPORT! SYSTEMS ARE AT 50%! DEFENSIVE MEASURES OFFLINE!" said Aurum Devil Pit. Then he saw Phosphora and Pyrrhon and said, "NEW TARGETS LOCKED! INITIATE COUNTERATTACK MEASURES!" "Wait. Counterattack?" Phosphora wondered. "That means Devil Pit has rebuilt his weapons," said Hades. "Looks like you two must destroy all of their weapons in order to proceed and take down Devil Pit!" said Viridi. "You got it, Mistress Viridi!" said Phosphora. "Let's take 'em all out!" said Pyrrhon. Phosphora and Pyrrhon then used their electric and fire powers to destroy all of the weapons. They headed towards the first entrance of the Aurum Brain Fortress to take him down. "There he is!" said Phosphora after spotting him. "Let's show him what we've got!" said Pyrrhon. They then continued to attack Aurum Devil Pit until he receive enough damage. "Let's get out of here before he burns us again!" said Pyrrhon. Phosphora nodded in agreement and they got out of the fortress' first entrance. They then got back to were the other angels and Centurion Strongarms were waiting. "We took down the third area!" said Phosphora. "Good. Now we just need to take down Devil Pit one more time and then the Aurum is history!" said Pit. "You got that right, Pit!" said Pyrrhon. He then went down underneath the platform. "Alright centurions! Let's push this platform straight to our enemy!" "Yes, Pyrrhon!" said a Centurion Strongarm. The three of them pushed the platform for Pit, Dark Pit, and Phosphora to move to. "WARNING! DAMAGE REPORT! SYSTEMS ARE AT 25%! COUNTERATTACK MEASURES OFFLINE!" said Aurum Devil Pit. Then he realized that his enemies have entered the final area. "ENEMIES HAVE ENTERED THE TERRITORY! PROCEEDING TO INITIATE LAST LINE OF DEFENSE!" he said. "It's now or never, team!" said Pit. "Let's defeat him and destroy the Aurum for good!" said Dark Pit. "Here we go!" said Phosphora. They then entered the Aurum Brain Frotress' second entrance one more time through the other entrance to finish this.

Our heroes arrived at the Aurum Brain and saw Aurum Devil Pit, who was twitching and shaking violently like Pyrrhon was. "ENEMIES HAVE ARRIVED! MAXING OUT FINAL DEFENSE MEASURES!" he said. As on queue, he sent out his Aurum Pit Squad, activated a giant barrier like the Aurum Core had, and brought out two giant Aurum Cannons. "What the?" Pit gasped. "He sent out all of his weaponry and defenses! Even the Aurum leaders!" Palutena exclaimed. "AUTHORIZATION PROCESS COMPLETED!" Aurum Devil Pit continued. "YOU WILL NOW BE EXTERMINATED!" "Looks like there's no turning back," said Pit. "We must defeat him and his allies and defenses to end the Aurum completely!" "Yeah! It's a fight to the death! The three of us against the Aurum!" Dark Pit agreed. "Let's shock him to the point where he would see sparks again!" said Phosphora. "The centurions and I will help you guide the platform so that you can get a better angle on him," said Pyrrhon. "Thanks Pyrrhon!" Pit thanked. "Now lets do this!" The trio readied themselves to begin the battle against Aurum Devil Pit. The Aurum Pit Squad are stronger than before thanks to Devil Pit's upgrades. They started the battle by flying and firing shooting attacks at their foes, which they dodged and fought back. Then the Aurum Cannons fired their powerful shots where the trio dashed to avoid them. "It looks like Aurum Devil Pit is not going down that easily," said Palutena. "You need to take down his allies and weaponry first. Once you did that, you need to get through the barrier and defeat Devil Pit by attacking at the open gaps." "You got it!" Pit affirmed. "ALL OF YOU SHALL BE TERMINATED!" said Aurum Devil Pit. "YOU CANNOT STOP THE DARK ALLIES!" "TARGETS LOCKED ON! ATTACKING!" said Blade Aurum Pit. "Hurry! We need to take them all out!" said Phosphora. The trio first attacked the Aurum Pit Squad. Each of them took down the squad one Aurum Pit by one. Soon they were all defeated. "SYSTEM OVERHEATING! BATTLE LOST! RETREATING! BAILING FROM THE FIGHT! THIS ISN'T OVER!" they all yelled out after fleeing the fight in defeat. "DESTROY THEM ALL, OUR LORD AND PATRIARCH!" said Blade Aurum Pit. "FIRING AURUM CANNONS!" said Aurum Devil Pit. "Watch out! He's charging up the cannons to fire powerful blasts!" Viridi warned. "Take out the cannons and then attack Devil Pit to finish the Aurum!" "Got it!" said Dark Pit. The trio then took down the cannons with their shooting attacks. Both cannons were destroyed. "FINAL DEFENSE MEASURES LOST! ACTIVATING PINCH MODE!" said Aurum Devil Pit. His body then started to glow and the Aurum Brain glow brighter than ever. "Looks like all of his stats are increased," said Hades. "That's because he's in Pinch Mode," said Palutena. "Pit! You, Dark Pit, and Phosphora need to take him out quickly before he incinerates you." "Will do!" said Pit. "Let's take him down, team!" "We got your back!" said Dark Pit. "Let's finish this!" said Phosphora. The trio then proceeded to take down Aurum Devil Pit through the gaps of the barrier. "MUST...NOT...LOSE...!" said Aurum Devil Pit, struggling to defeat the trio. "Too bad, Devil Pit!" Pit shouted. "Once we defeat you, you can say goodbye to the Aurum!" Soon enough, the heroic trio defeated Aurum Devil Pit. "How do you feel about that one, Devil Pit?" Pit asked in victory. "SYSTEM FAILURE..." Aurum Devil Pit responded in defeat. Suddenly, the Aurum Brain Fortress started to crumble after that. "PYRRHON! CENTURIONS! GET US OUT OF HERE!" Pit ordered. "Right! Let's hurry!" said Pyrrhon. He and the Centurion Strongarms pushed the platform to get Pit, Dark Pit, and Phosphora out of there just in time. Devil Pit wiggled free from the Aurum Brain and returned back to his original form. "Damn it! I better hurry back to our meeting spot! My pet is waiting for me," he said as he retreats through another escape route and hurried back to the Earth. The heroes made it out of the fortress just in time before it exploded, leaving the Aurum completely annihilated forever. "Whew! That was too close for comfort," Pit sighed in relief. "Thanks for your help, Pittoo and Phosphora. I couldn't have stopped Devil Pit's army without you." "Don't mention it," Dark Pit replied before growing. "And stop calling me that!" He then flew away back to Earth. "It's always best to help someone who helped me earlier," said Phosphora. "Consider this as returning the favor." Pit nodded and Phosphora was whisked back by Viridi to her temple. "And thank you for helping us, Pyrrhon," Pit told the Sun God. "Not a problem, citizen," Pyrrhon replied. "Now if you'll excuse me, I must get going." He left and then a light pillar opened up by Palutena. "Come on, Pit," she said. "We need to prepare ourselves for the fight against the Underworld Army." She then whisked Pit away from space.

Devil Pit returned to the meeting spot and waited. "It should be coming back her any second now," he said. He then spotted the same escaped creature that has human souls with it. "Ah. You're back, and I see that you brought what I requested," he continued. "I'm proud of you. You deserve a reward." He then opened up a bottle of blood and gave it the creature, which it accepts and drank it. "Now that we collected those souls, we just need to make the opportunity for us to strike and collect more of them," said Devil Pit. "Since the Aurum distracted our enemies long enough for you to get those souls, we just need to figure out a way to get more of them without anybody suspecting us." The creature then gave Devil Pit something into his hands. "What's this?" he wondered. He further inspected the item and realized what it was. "Is this...a ring?" he continued. "Mind telling me what its purpose is?" The creature complied and whispered something into Devil Pit's ear. It couldn't talk, but only Devil Pit knows what its saying. "I see..." said Devil Pit. "Then I know just the people we need to control. Follow me." The two of them flew away straight to Palutena's Temple. "There it is!" said Devil Pit. "Stay behind me. We cannot let them know that you're here just yet." The creature nodded and they snuck into the temple.

"So, Lady Palutena," said Pit. "How do you think we should prepare ourselves to fight against the Underworld Army?" "One thing for sure is that we still have the Three Sacred Treasures," Palutena replied. "We can use them to defeat Hades once and for all. Now that we have the Forces of Nature on our side, the Underworld Army won't stand a chance." "Right!" Pit agreed. "Then let's get going!" "Now what do you think you're going to do, Pit?" asked a sinister voice. Pit and Palutena turned around in horror to see Devil Pit smiling sinisterly at them. "You again?!" Pit gasped. "What are you doing here?!" "Oh nothing," Devil Pit replied. "I just have a little surprise to show you. And trust me, you will love it." He then pointed at Palutena. "GET HER! NOW!" Suddenly, the creature appeared right behind Devil Pit and flew straight to Palutena. It soon landed on her and Palutena struggled to break free. "AAAHHH! GET OFF ME!" she cried. "LADY PALUTENA!" Pit yelled. He rushed to stop the creature, but was stopped by Devil Pit. "Ah ah ah. Not so fast," he said. "I'm not going to let you ruin my plans this time. Activating Spiritual Possession!" Suddenly, a big misty fog appeared around the temple and Devil Pit turned into a slithering cloud. "Argh! I can't see a thing!" Pit yelped. But before he could do anything, Devil Pit flew into Pit's open mouth and possessed him. He then transported Pit's soul into the ring. "Sorry, Pit," he said in Pit's Body. "But you're not going to ruin my plans. Not this time!" He then threw the ring far away from the temple and it landed into the Overworld. "Now that I'm in control of Pit's body, Palutena will soon be taken over by the Chaos Kin," he continued. "Prepare yourselves, mortals! Let me show you the Dark Allies' true power! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
