For a moment, did it feel like Pit had heard the voice of Palutena, hearing the defeat and sorrow coming from her. It was causing him great heartache, fearing that his home may have been destroyed once more. It felt like only yesterday was everything at peace, after having finishing a war with the underworld; now Pit once again finds himself in the worst case scenario. Far from Sky World, the earth in the greatest crisis it may ever have, and his Goddess, Lady Palutena once more needing the help of her most trusted angel...

Pit:"I think I'm getting kinda used to this."

It was then that Tasan, Pit's newest ally put his hand onto Pit's shoulder as it signals the foreign angel to follow him.

Tasan:"Has such a crisis happened frequently in your world?"

Pit:"Hardly at all. Well, at least after 25 years, did we go through a war with the underworld and it's God, Hades."

Tasan:"To us, Hades is but merely a symbolic entity of death and chaos. As Heaven is meant to prevail, Death and Hades are swallowed up in victory."

Pit:"Anyways, where are we heading off to?"

Tasan:"For now, everyone one of us is getting ready for battle. It is most certain that the Earth will most likely not survive the ordeal."

Pit:"You would sacrifice the Earth to see your own justice through?"

Tasan:"Have the Beings of your world not done the same?"

Pit:"I...suppose that's fair."

Tasan:"As it is fair for us to give those who call out our God a last chance for salvation. Should they perish on the Earth, will their spirit be welcomed in Heaven. Back to the topic at hand, as we fear that the balance may have been tempered with, we must set things in our favor. That is why Lord Yahweh has enlisted us to tip the balance in our favor once more."

Pit:"Yahweh?"

Tasan:"That is one of the many names of our God."

Pit:"Oh...Wait, what are we doing?"

Tasan:"You and I, are going down to the Earth. If we are to balance things out, we must destroy a few obstacles in our path."

Pit:"...Oh. How are we gonna head down to Earth though? I can't fly after all."

Tasan:"We have that covered. Now, I have something for you."

Pit was confused at first, until Tasan brights out a familiar looking weapon. The Bow of Palutena, having the same golden edges with blue coloring in the middle. Taking the bow back, he could feel that it has been powered up, seeing the golden rings reappear on his arm once more...

Pit:"My bow! Gosh, thanks!"

Tasan:"From now on, you must keep yourself armed, as we face many difficult challenges along the way. I must say, though, it is a very unique of angelic weaponry. Not like any bow I've seen before."

Pit:"It's a scared weapon created by Lady Palutena, and bestowed upon onto me. It kinda shows how much she deeply trust me."

Tasan:"Hmm...in any case, we must move."

Pit:"So, how are gonna get to earth?"

Tasan:"Are you familiar with riding a chariot?"


Back to where what was once Sky World, and Palutena's Temple, the Devil Lucifer now sits on the Goddess of Light's throne, having made himself at home and is now gazing upon the reflecting pool, looking all across the world, seeing all that's taking place do to his own share of handiwork...

Lucifer:"Everything falls into place...everything falls..."

Just then, from out of the shadows, a dark spirit takes form in front of his master, having little, seemingly useless wings on it's back, it's body rapped in chains and a hood over it's face. It was a watcher, one of many angels that had betrayed their Lord and payed dearly for it. They are the Devil's eyes and ears all across the spirit world...

Watcher:"My Lord."

Lucifer:"Speak."

Watcher:"Heaven's Armies are soon to advance. All should go on as planned, but there seems to be an obstruction that is making our success now longer certain. A foreign one is among the angels."

Lucifer:"...Palutena's errand boy. I've seen his work, and now that it'd be ill-advised to underestimate him."

Watcher:"It seems that he's about to embark on a journey to the earth."

Lucifer:" Flightless as he is, it will not stop him from trying to get back home. We'll just have to see to it that he is stopped in his tracks..."


Back in the White City, Tasan introduces Pit to one of the greatest of Angelic Transportation. A Gold Chariot with red coloring, engraved with flames rising...

Tasan:"Behold, the Chariot of Fire. Our best chance at moving from a tactical standpoint."

Pit:"I have to admit, it's beautiful. But...where are the horses?"

Yes, from their point of view, the chariot seemed to have everything, but what it needed to be pulled by.

Tasan:"Hop in, and you'll see."

Doing as he was told, Pit got into the chariot before Tasan, and it soon began to glow in heavenly fire. So suddenly, two horses made entirely out of flame appeared in front of the chariot with reigns attached and now in the hands of Pit and Tasan...

Pit:"Whoa!"

Tasan:"Not bad, huh?"

Pit:"Do they have names?"

Tasan:"Hmm...Elijah and Elisha."

Pit:"They sound almost the same."

Tasan:"Yes, it's confusing. But enough of that, we must make haste."

Taking the reigns in his hands, Tasan whipped them and the two flaming horses let out power neighs as they made way. Soon after, Pit and Tasan found themselves in the skies of Heaven, soon to be descending upon the earth. The fires were all around them, but neither of them seem to be burning...

Tasan:"These fires, they are to protect us as we head down to the earth. We will not burn, for as long as we have Yahweh's blessing. Don't get too comfortable, though. Soon, we have to make way on our own. This treasure of paradise must return to where it belongs."

Pit:"I understand. How long will this take?"

Tasan:"Hopefully, not too long. The skies will clear a passage for us; we'll see the earth soon enough."

As the chariot rode through the air on it's fiery path, Pit soon caught the attention of what looked like a storm heading their way. Tasan could see it as well, but knew that it was but mask for what lies ahead. They entered the storm, seeing the lightning flash across the path as Tasan could feel the presence of a great being, one said to have been destroyed long ago, but has been ressurrected by the soul of a host and darkness of the demon world...

Tasan:"Prepare to defend yourself. We may sooner land faster than I thought."

Pit:"What's happening?"

Tasan:"There's a being that's clouding itself through the storm. It's trying to prevent us from reaching the earth. If it is what I believe it is, than we have much to fear from it."

Pit:"What could it be?"

Tasan:"It was said to have been a guardian of the earth, watching over it from it's thundering skies. It's been dead for eons, but I fear that the demons may have resurrected it to be of service to them. It's-"

Before he could finish, both angels met face to face with what the being, as it charged at them. It had the form of a great bird, with black and glowing yellow and blue feathers; both of it's wings were coated in lightning, as was it's eyes, glowing golden with energy. It was menacingly huge and was heading straight for the chariot. Moving fast, the chariot dodged it's upcoming attack as the monster soon chased after them..

Tasan:"Seems my hunch was correct! The Thunderbird lives!"

Pit:"Thunderbird?!"

Tasan:"As I said, it was a guardian to the earth, but now it serves the underworld. But, enough of that! We must fight it if we are to survive this! Use your weapon ad cover us!"

Pit:"Right!"

Taking out his bow, Pit rapidly fired at the beast that was right at their tale. However, it seemed like none of his shots were doing much to weaken the Thunderbird; all it seemed to be doing was just make it madder. Though, as he fought the beast in the air, he couldn't help but feel something familiar about it's power, how it flashed through the air at the speed of it's element. It was something that he didn't feel in a long while, since he fought Viridi's commander, Phosphora. But the feeling was soon gone, as it seemed that the two had made it past the storm, now seeing the skies clear and solid earth directly below them. And yet, the Thunderbird was still directly behind them...

Tasan:"This is gonna be close; we're gonna have to jump!"

Pit:"Really?!"

Tasan:"Ready yourself! Use your wings to control your descent!"

Pit:"Alright, I'll give it a shot!"

Tasan:"Ready! 3...2...1! JUMP!"

Both of them took a big leap and jumped from the chariot, which soon disappeared within it's own flames. Though Pit was unable to fly, he followed what Tasan had told him and used his wings to glide through the air, controlling his decent as he made his way down. The wind was hard against his face, and his eyes were barely opened as he soon came down on solid ground. It was a hard decent, as Pit nearly blacked out upon landing. Rising up, Pit adjusted himself, straightened up, got the dirt out of his hair and looked around to see that he was in the mid of a wide open field to seemed to stretch for a while. Upon him, he could see the skies darken with storm clouds beginning to manifest. But then, something else came to mind...

Pit:"Tasan?! Where are you?"

His question was soon answered as then he heard what sounded like the wind howling and then something crashing down hard on the ground in front of him. The dust cleared and Pit saw that it was Tasan, in a small crater, looking knocked out...

Pit:"Tasan, you okay?"

Tasan:"(groans)...I've been through worse."

Extending his hand, Pit took Tasan and lifted him up, allowing the other angel to adjust and recover from the fall. Taking a look around, Tasan looked a little disappointing as then he looked up to see the Thunderbird flying through the air until it was out of their sight...

Tasan:"Seems as if our trajectory was a little...off."

Pit:"I'll say, we're in the middle of nowhere! Are we from where far from where we need to be?"

Tasan:"Fortunately not. And we're not too far from any danger either. Being on the earth means we're vulnerable to the hands of death, so we'll have to keep ourselves armed at all times now. (draws sword)"

Pit:"Not a problem for me. I'm prepared at all times!"

Tasan:"Good. We're going after the Thunderbird."

Pit:"...What?"

Tasan:"The Thunderbird is one of the obstacles we need to get rid of. We'll need to destroy it if we are to prevail."

Pit:"Oh."

Tasan:"Don't tell me you're afraid, are you?"

Pit:"...No...I got this."

Tasan:"Good...let's move."
