Chapter 4: The King of The Titans
(In the skies above the sea of Tartarus)
Pit was flying above this dark ocean because Palutena had told Pit to keep his distance from the water as much as possible.
Pit- This place gives me a very uncomfortable feeling, Lady Palutena.
Palutena (telepathically to Pit)- Why do you think I told you to stay away from the waters as much as possible? This place has to power to literally suck way god magic. Which is part of the reason why I suggested to the Lord of the Universe to put the Titans here after Icarus stopped their invasion of Skyworld?
Pit- Hang on, Lady Palutena! I think I see something…
Pit noticed a split in the sea of Tartarus, similar to how the sea split when he tried to get to Thanatos in the undersea palace in Kid Icarus Uprising.
Pit- What's going on there?
Mysterious voice- Why am I not surprised to find you here of all places?
Pit quickly turned around and saw Dark Pit flying behind him.
Pit- What are you doing here, Pittoo?
Dark Pit- Stop calling me that!
Viridi (telepathically to Pit)- Actually, I sent him here. I had a feeling you'd be here too. Dark Pit told me he had a strange dream and after he described what happened, I realized he was dreaming about the angel Icarus and how he teamed up with the Mario Brothers to defeat Hades' bastard of a father, Kronos. Had a hunch that the reason Dark Pit was having that dream was because you were having them, since he was created from your reflection in the Mirror of Truth.
Pit- You're right, I was dreaming about Icarus for some reason. Who new Pittoo would be having the same dreams?
Dark Pit- How many times do I have to tell you to stop calling me Pittoo, you dumbass?!
Viridi (telepathically to Dark Pit)- Focus!
Palutena (telepathically to Pit and Dark Pit)- Viridi's right. There is a possibility that Kronos is freed from his prison. That area where Tartarus is open is actually where his cage is supposed to be. If the Titans really are out…
Pit- We're on it! Come on, Pittoo!
Dark Pit- (Grunts)…
(In another part of Tartarus)
Pit and Dark Pit managed to fly over the opening where the sea of Tartarus was splitting and saw what appeared to be an empty hole in the ground.
Pit- Strange. Why is there a hole at the ocean floor like that?
Palutena (telepathically to Pit)- That hole was where Kronos was kept…but seeing it's now empty…
Viridi (telepathically to Pit and Dark Pit)- Shit! That's not good!
Dark Pit- Kronos really that bad?
Viridi (telepathically to Dark Pit)- He does treat nature a whole lot worse than the humans, but there is more to his release than that. I'm seeing a pattern here that's been happening ever since season 5 began.
Pit- What pattern? What are you talking about?
Palutena (telepathically to Pit)- Pit…there is a reason why Tabuu was only able to regain 80% of his power at first. It might've taken until season 5, but he has realized it as well. Before the Lord of the Universe sealed his son into Subspace…Mario's ancestor managed to snatch a chunk of Tabuu's very soul. Because of that, Tabuu couldn't regain his full power. He showed it to Icarus and the rest of his team and asked what to do with it. I then split that fragment of Tabuu's soul even further, gave one piece to each member of the original Super Mario Brothers' Team, and they each chose their own location to hide the fragments of Tabuu's soul.
Pit- And what does that have to do with Kronos or the Titans?
Viridi (telepathically to Pit)- (Groan) Just how stupid…Listen Pit, Kronos' prison in the depths of Tartarus was where Icarus chose to hide the piece of Tabuu's soul Palutena gave to him. What I'm saying is this is Tabuu's doing so get the piece of his soul Icarus hid. Just like he's been doing all season long. When you and the others were rescuing Pyrrhon from Tabuu, Tabuu was at 90% and conveniently after four other disasters that were linked to members of the previous super Mario Brothers' Team reoccurred. Not to mention, Kirby and Donkey Kong faced an ancient threat shortly afterwards which were also liked to other members of Marco's team.
Palutena (telepathically to Pit and Dark Pit)- Viridi is right. And now a threat linked to Icarus who was also part of Marco's team. But we don't have time to deal with Tabuu regaining another piece of his soul, because Kronos poses a more immediate threat.
Suddenly, a red flair was seen in the distance above the shore close by.
Pit- Someone calling us?
Dark Pit- Obviously a trap.
Palutena (telepathically to Pit and Dark Pit)- The power of flight is almost used up on both of your wings, so it might be best if you land soon.
(At the beach next to Tartarus)
Pit and Dark Pit landed on the beach. However, there was a strange figure standing next to the sea waiting for them. He had a face and grin very similar to Hades and a look of madness in his eyes.
Dark god- Hello and welcome! You must be Pitty Pat, the kid version of Icarus I've heard so much about. Kind of fits the name of the game, "Kid Icarus" now that about it.
Pit- What?! Hey, just who the hell do you think you are?!
Dark god- I figured my devilishly handsome looks would've given that way, considering my son has the same good looks…but nowhere near as pretty. I am Hades father, the mighty god, Kronos, leader of the Titans and a previous Lord of the Universe. I wasn't sure you and Pittoo would get my call, but I'm glad you both did.
Dark Pit- Don't you call me that too!
Kronos- Why not? Pittoo sounds like a more fitting name for you since you're just a carbon copy of the original. An anti-hero clone the game makers thought would make "Kid Icarus: Uprising" seem more cool than it is. A fade that has been milked to death since Shadow came into existence in "Sonic Adventure 2."
Pit- This guy keeps making joke like Hades…
Kronos- Where do you think Hades inherited his sense of humor, Pitty Pat?
Dark Pit- I've had enough of this ****er run his mouth!
Dark Pit pulls out a First Blade and charges for Kronos. However, Kronos stopped the First Blade with one finger.
Dark Pit- What…
Kronos- I'm not only funnier and prettier than my son, Hades, but I'm far stronger than him too. I did once hold the title of Lord of the Universe even if I am only an A ranked. But kids like you shouldn't be playing with dangerous toys.
Suddenly, Dark Pit's First Blade literally melted until it was nothing but black goo on the ground.
Pit- Hang on, Pittoo! I'm coming!
Pit pulls out an Upperdash Arm and tried to punch Kronos in the face with it. However, the Uppderdash Arm shattered to pieces as soon as it came into contact with Kronos' face. Not only that, Pit's right fist began to hurt like crazy as it began to glow red a bit.
Kronos- Silly little toys of the angels. You'll need more than those simple little weapons you find in those Streetpass weapon gems that no one uses anymore. And here I had hopped Pit would be more of a challenge than Icarus considering his relationship with Palutena's previous angel.
Pit- I'm not done yet!
Pit pulls out a pair of flaming Wolf Claws and tries to slash Kronos with them. But Kronos literally breathes out a cloud of mist. And when Pit's Wolf Claws touch the strange mist, the Wolf Claws turn to ice before they shatter to pieces.
Kronos- What's next?
Pit pulls out a Palutena's Bow and tried to swing the bow in its buzz saw from at Kronos. But Kronos stopped the Palutena's bow with one finger like he did with Dark Pit's First Blade. And like the First Blade, Kronos turned the Palutena's Bow into dust when he touched it with his other hand.
Kronos- Hey pretty Palutena, you should've picked a better successor to Icarus. But then again, Icarus couldn't stop me on his own since those fools, Marco and Loewy, had to interfere as well.
Then Kronos smacked Pit in the face and knocked him a few feet away from Kronos and to the ground. A beam was fired at Kronos after he knocked Pit to the ground. It was fired by Dark Pit who pulled out a Dark Pit Staff. But when the smoke cleared, Kronos was unphased.
Kronos- Naughty, naughty, Pittoo. But in all honesty, you should've ran when you had the chance.
Kronos fired a laser from his eyes and they knocked Dark Pit to the ground next to Pit.
Kronos- Do me a favor, Pitty Pat, when you see Icarus on the other side, tell him Kronos says hello.
Kronos began charging his energy to perform an attack, but a huge ring of fire appeared around Kronos and completely surrounded him in fire.
Kronos- What the…?!
Then Pit and Dark Pit saw a flaming hand extend to them, offering to help them up. Pit and Dark Pit looked up and saw Pyrrhon standing above them.
Pyrrhon- Hey there, Pit! I guess this makes us even for saving my bacon after Fawful blew my cover.
Pyrrhon helped Pit and Dark Pit back up, but Pit looked very confused.
Pit- What are you doing here, Pyrrhon?
Pyrrhon- Thanks to Fawful, Kyrin has now put me on the field since I can't act as a spy anymore. But right now, we need to make haste and get the hell out of here!
Then Susie could be seen standing behind Pyrrhon and she was holding a teleporting device in her hand.
Susie- Pyrrhon's right. Those flames won't hold Kronos for long!
Pit, Dark Pit, and Pyrrhon gathered around Susie as she turned on the teleporting device in her hand to teleport them away just as Kronos broke down Pyrrhon's ring of fire.
Kronos- Should've expected the author would've had Kyrin uses some of his followers to help Pitty Pat escape. And no doubt have something that could destroy me. But I know how to make them come out and play! Pretty Palutena, hope you've made room for dinner, because you've got company coming! A lot of company!
