AAAAND I'm back! I felt like writing this up. Here I am to fulfill my promise. Anyway lets continue, and I'm sorry for leaving you guys behind like this. I own nothing except my ideas. Also the to guest who reviewed recently, I am sorry. It's just...a lot has happened.
"Alright"! Ash says as he and Pit headed to the door.
"Heading out"! Pit says, before the door suddenly opened and sucked them out with a yelp, the two looked and saw them diving towards ships.
"The Aurum's been weakened but not destroyed. We need to destroy their fleet next". Palutena informs.
"Got it! Let's take them out Pit"! Ash says with a grin.
"You got it! That fleet is going down". Pit says with a smirk.
The two started to fly up into space low space, Ash putting on his 'helmet' again to breath. Ash noticed the giant green spots on the ships.
"Take out those green targets you two"! Palutena orders.
"Got it"! They chirped, before opening fire.
Ash uses his lightning to ricochet shots, hitting multiple targets easily and wrecking the ships. Pit opened fire with a cannon to deal easy damage.
"Pit! Incoming"! Ash shouted before yanking Pit away from a laser.
"Thanks, there sure are a lot of different ships". Pit noticed.
"Yes, there are battleships, cruisers, destroyers, kayaks". Palutena named, causing the two to facefault.
"He means the AURUM have a lot of ships"! Ash corrects. "Doubt they would be sane enough to have a kayak". He mutters.
"True, there are a lot of ships, I best get you two out of there". Palutena agreed, pulling them out of the firefight.
Ash felt a dark force on his shoulders, signalling Hades hopping in.
"Now why would you want to do that"? Hades piped in. "Where you pinheads see adversity, I see opportunity". Hades pointed out.
"Hades"! Pit shouted.
"For instance, this ship looks like it could use a good home, now's your chance minions! It's lootin time"! Hades says as a swarm of Underworld minions swarmed the ship, Ash and Pit staring blankly.
"Well...they look excited". Ash muttered.
"Yeah". Pit agreed.
The two flew and saw a giant dome.
"Right there is where the battle ships are being hatched". Palutena said.
"Hatched? Don't you mean built"? Pit asked.
"Sorry, I'm still thinking of the Aurum as a bee colony". Palutena apologized. "And if their smaller troops are drones, their ships are killer bees". Palutena muttered.
"Then we need to target the source, right"? Ash asked.
"Right". Palutena agrees.
"I just hope there is no Aurum Queen". Pit muttered nervously.
Ash and Pit dodged as green meteors came out from the sky, unaffected by their attacks. "Those meteors are kinda pretty". Pit noticed.
"Actually, those are also Aurum Troops". Palutena informed. "According to my Celestial Super Scanner, they're Rozzes'". Palutena said.
"Your...Celestial Super Scanner"? Pit asked.
"Redundant at its finest". Ash chirped in.
"Oh! So that's how you know the names of enemies"! Pit realized.
"Well...you can't exactly pronounce Aurum names, so I took some creative liberties". Palutena admits.
"Wow...nice". Ash applauded the Goddess.
The two continued their fighting, stepping back when Underworld troops made themselves known.
"Looks like Hades is getting in on the action again". Ash noticed.
"You got it". Hades said.
Ash noticed some new Aurum troops coming in, causing him to pause. "Hold on...are those"? Ash began, staring at them.
"You see it too"? Viridi asked. "Those Aurum 'Troops' are just ripoffs of Underworld enemies"! Viridi made known.
"What"?! Pit exclaimed, looking at the troops, indeed realizing the similarities.
"I got to hand it to them, those are some pretty decent knockoffs". Hades admits.
"Nothing brings you down does it Hades"? Ash muttered with a shake of his head.
"So those Treasure Boxes and Exo Tanks must have been copies too". Palutena guessed.
"Can't say for sure". Viridi adds.
"Full disclosure here, the Mimicutie was courtesy of yours truly". Hades admits.
"It WAS you"! Ash and Pit snapped.
"What's wrong? Don't you like gifts Ash"? Hades asked.
"Not when it beats the crap out of me"! Ash snapped.
"I'll make sure it keeps it in next time". Hades said in rebuttal.
Ash ignored the trolling God and zipped downward into a floating island with Pit. The two used the clouds to hide from the Aurum, only to hear a loud noise.
Ash turned and paled. "Uh...Pit"? He asked, causing the Angel to look and freeze.
"They've sent the Cruisers in! They're destroying themselves to get to you"! Palutena noticed.
"WE KNOW"! Ash and Pit roared as they booked it.
They got out of the Cruiser's range and attacked the green spots again. "None of these battleships seem to have a helm". Viridi noticed.
"And I'm not detecting any life forms in the ships either". Palutena agreed.
"Something has to be controlling them". Viridi decided.
"We are from outer spaaaace". Hades chimed in, imitating alien voices.
"Oh haha". Ash laughed sarcastically at Hades' jibe.
"Continuing on". Pit got the conversation back on track. "It seems like awfully poor design choice for these ships to have their weak spots exposed". Pit noticed.
"Or you can just thank me for some user friendly interface". Palutena cut in.
"Wait...YOU exposed the ships weak spots"?! Ash said in awe.
"I attached large markers to the ships' exteriors that connect to the ships engines, in less technical terms I used my power of weak-point exposure". Palutena explains.
"Thanks"! Both thanked.
"Anything to help you take down the Aurum Fleet". Palutena said with a smile. "We've reached the Aurum hive, but there's just one problem". Palutena began.
"What's that"? Pit asked.
"There doesn't seem to be a way in". Palutena said.
"What"?! Pit exclaimed in shock.
Ash observed the area, unlike other fortresses, its perfectly secure, no openings, no weakspots...nothing.
"Don't curse the darkness, light a candle". Hades cut in. "When freaky aliens give you lemons, make freaky alien lemonade, like THIS"! Hades said with a grunt.
Ash turned and saw the hijacked Aurum ship heading towards them! "Incoming"! He shouted, the two dodging.
"Whoa!" Pit exclaimed in awe, the ship cutting into the forcefield and allowing entry from it. "That's one way to do it". Pit admits.
"That. Was. EPIC"! Ash shouted as he and Pit zipped in.
Ash looked and noticed the inside was on fire, and the pathway was too small. "Pit! Split up"! Ash said, going in another direction, absorbing the fire as he passed, laughing when he heard Pit shouting 'hot hot hot!' as he left.
Ash busted out and into the Aurum Hive, looking around. "Whoa...much more high tech". He noticed.
"Are you okay you two"? Palutena asked, knowing they're separated.
"I'm good". Ash assured.
"Same here". Pit said through the Comm.
"Alright, the next step is to shut down the hive's power generator". Palutena said.
"Got it". Ash said, walking off.
"Shotgun"! Hades said, Ash feeling that presence on his shoulders again, causing him to sigh.
"Alright you two, you'll have to go separate ways, luckily these paths meet at the end". Palutena said.
"Good, let's go then"! Ash said, rushing off into the next room.
Ash felt Palutena and Viridi go to Pit's side, causing him to shrug.
"Feel a bit upset they care more about Pitty pat than you"? Hades asked.
"Nah, if anything he most likely has the tougher side, he's unlucky like that". Ash smirked.
"True". Hades agreed.
Ash jumped off of a ledge and landed, only to get surrounded by Aurum troops, his hand ignited with flames.
"Have fun"! Hades chimed as Ash engaged in battle.
Ash used his fire to block the shots and shot them like rockets, a couple of them blocking them and returning them, the others getting blasted away. Ash returned the blasts, and its soon turned into a back and forth, who could take the increasingly powerful blast the longest?
"And here is the universal championship of Fire Tennis"! Hades quipped like an announcer. "Ash, our champion is holding up well, while the challenger is doing just as good". He says with the sound of popcorn being eaten.
Ash finally grabbed the blast and charged it up to a white hot, throwing it back at his opponent, who couldn't take it and exploded.
"Winner"! Hades cheered, some Underworld forces clapping alongside him.
Ash rolled his eyes and wandered deeper into the Aurum Fortress. "Your a real ham, aren't you Hades"? Ash asked.
"You know it"! Hades answered back.
Ash ran into the next room, stopping when he reached a dead end. "Great, and no grind rails". Ash muttered.
"Ah ah ah! Remember, your dear friend Hades is a God too". Hades reminded, some purple grind rails appearing for Ash.
"Thanks". Ash thanked before riding on the grind rails, a bit bothered.
When he rode Palutena's grind rails, it felt like he was walking on air, but on Hades' grind rails...it feels weird. He hopped off and leapt onto another one, not expecting to ram face first into Pit.
"Pit"! Ash shouted, as he and Pit landed on a small platform.
"Ash"! Pit said, getting up.
"Looks like Ash got the long end of the stick, huh Pit"? Palutena said with a smirk.
"Yeah...no fair". Pit pouted.
Ash chuckled. "Let's finish this". Ash said with a grin.
Pit nodded and they grinded down the rails once more, Aurum forces meeting them. "It's their last line of defense". Palutena noticed.
"I dedicate this beatdown to the honor of our precious planet"! Pit cheers, Ash echoing his statement, before the two unleashed everything at the final defense of the Aurum.
"Pit"! Ash said, flying up and bracing himself.
"Roger"! Pit says, summoning a giant club.
Ash has ice surround him and formed into a giant ball of ice, which raced towards Pit.
"HOMERUN"! Pit shouts before swinging, a loud 'crack' letting loose as Ash ricocheted across the Aurum forces, decimating them.
Ash broke out as he took out the last one, collapsing onto the next platform with a groan. "I think I'm going to be sick". He muttered, holding his mouth as Pit landed beside him and helped him. The two raced down and found the generator.
"That's the Aurum Generator". Palutena said.
"It's as bright as the sun"! Pit shouted.
Ash agreed, the generator looked like a miniature Sun with how bright it was, the two hopped on grind rails and raced around, Ash switching to lightning and firing rockets at the generator.
A laugh let loose, causing the two to turn. Pyrrhon flew into the room. "Pyrrhon? What are you doing here"? Pit asked in shock.
"Looks like you could use a hand there little mortals, the heroic hand of justice"! He said before taking a stance.
"We're fine, really". Ash said while fighting.
"Try my pyroweaponry on for size"! Pyrrhon says, ignoring the two. He fired multiple salvos of fire at the generator, causing it to turn a deep red and gain shields. "That's...odd". Pyrrhon commented. "That wasn't supposed to happen".
"Heat plus heat equals heat, Pyrrhon". Ash chided.
"Whoops! My bad"! Pyrrhon says with a laugh.
"THAT'S ALL YOU HAVE TO SAY"?! Both Ash and Pit shouted.
"No, I have one more message to impart to you two, good luck, your going to need it". He said before flying out, leaving the two.
"What an idiot! What was he trying to do! Overload the whole...generator". Ash paused in thought. "Hey Pit! I got an idea"! Ash said, turning to Pit.
"Let's hear it". Pit said, all ears.
"Palutena! Can you bring back Pyrrhon"? Ash asked.
"Uh...sure". Palutena said, lost on Ash's plan, bringing Pyrrhon back into the room.
"Hey! What gives? I was just about to take a seven hour lava bath"! Pyrrhon complained.
"Pyrrhon, Pit, bust out all the fire you can and attack the generator". Ash said, his plan laying out.
"But...didn't you say that was bad"? Pyrrhon asked, lost.
"Just trust me"! Ash said, racing down another grind rail, fire forming in his hands as he let loose a stream of fire at the generator.
Pit and Pyrrhon looked at each other before shrugging and joining, the generator heating up some more.
"Almost there". Ash muttered, the core turning a deep red, cracks appearing.
"DANGER! DANGER! GENERATOR OVERLOAD! GENERATOR OVERLOAD! GENERATOR MELTDOWN IMMINENT"! The alarm blared, just after the generator exploded, blowing the two away.
"Pulverized"! Ash shouted in victory.
"Nice one Ash"! Pit cheered, Pyrrhon giving the boy a thumbs up.
"Let's get you two out of there". Palutena said, teleporting the two away.
The Aurum Hive cracked and caved in, before exploding in a glorious display.
Pyrrhon was watching the explosion. "And now, onto the Aurum Brain...and then the real fun begins". Pyrrhon said with a chuckle.
To be continued.
FINALLY! IT'S DONE! And then the next chapter will be up way faster thanks to me going off rails now. Now, one last thing I have been waiting on for a while. Will Beerus appear during the Aurum Invasion? Well...have a look.
A loud boisterous laugh let loose. "Now! I am above the Sun God, I am beyond that...I am...the God! Of! Destruction!" Pyrrhon boasted.
A second after he said that, a powerful blast hit the Aurum Base and knocked it a good couple of miles away.
"What was that"?! Everyone asked, all turning.
Floating there in space was a purple cat like creature with a sinister purple Aura around him, glaring. "Would you care to repeat that"?
Yup, he's in it. You'll see him next chapter! R&R This is Oathkeeper0317 signing out.
