Issue 24: Burned Feathers

Skyworld

The mortally-injured Pit floats motionlessly in a large web cocoon created by Ero after their intense encounter with Loki. The Great Totem stares at Pit's weakened state as he senses Palutena walking towards him. "Will this be enough?" She asked him.

"He's no spider-totem, but, this should keep him stabilize, at least for a few hours." Ero told her.

"Thank you." Palutena said, surprising Ero with a warm hug.

"Don't thank me yet. Our mission is still not done." Ero replied as he lets go of the hug.

The Spider and the Goddess turn around when they heard Viridi angrily slam her fist to the wall, "I can't believe it! All this time! That damn Asgardian!" She cursed while the rest of the D-Avengers and Dark Pit are either still saddened by Pit's current condition or angry for unknowingly working for Loki this whole time.

"We all feel the same way, Viridi." Palutena shared her sentiment but in a calmer manner.

"From the beginning, Loki has played us all. Exploited our weaknesses. Created a war that has sprung out of control. All to acquire the Nether Stone." Ero calmly said. "Its dark power is immense. The ability to manipulate souls has no barrier."

"Where's Loki now?" Dark Pit asked while leaning on the wall.

"I can sense it through the Web. He's conquering the Nine Realms as we speak. Four have fallen under his control." Ero answered.

"Already?" Weiss asked as she gets off the chair.

"His army was put at bay until he could move forward with his plan." Ero replied.

"That's probably why we haven't seen the usual Frost Giants yet. He's been waiting until he got the Nether Stone to have an easier chance conquering them." Spidey remarked. "So was Asgard and Earth, uh, MY Earth been attacked yet?" He asked the Great Spider.

"Thankfully, no, but I'm certain Loki wants to leave them for last." Ero replied.

"Then we should warn them of the incoming invasion." Lucina recommended.

"We tried, but Loki's new power blocks us from making contact with the other realms. Until we can find an alternative, we're on our own." Palutena replied.

"Isn't that perfect?" Sonic remarked sarcastically.

"Regarding this Earth, Hades's got that covered. He has ordered a worldwide assault. The humans are quickly losing ground while gods like Poseidon have fallen." Ero informed them.

"I would be happy the humans are getting wiped out, but NOT like this." Viridi remarked.

"Any reason why we're still here? Why Hades or Loki haven't attacked us and ripped our souls out?" Sonic asked.

"We're using the Dream Stone to shield ourselves inside an invisible barrier and has proven to be a useful tool against the dark forces that invade this world." Palutena answered.

"And possibly because those two are so arrogant not to attack us." Weiss added.

"Why can't we just use the Dream Stone to heal Pit? Fix up his wings? Bring him back up to snuff? Why don't we use a wish on him? The Dream Stone CAN grant wishes." Spidey asked to use the Dream Stone to save Pit's life.

"You really want to waste a single wish on one individual, when countless lives are being lost by the hour?" Ero stoically silenced his human host, saying it would be a waste to use the Dream Stone on Pit. "The hardest decisions require the strongest of wills. You should know that," He said to Spidey, depressing him. "'Sides, it wouldn't mean anything. The boy has been cursed."

"Cursed?" Viridi questioned.

"Somehow, Loki cursed him. Tainted him with the Darkforce. The Dream Stone alone is insufficient against its power. We need a more proficient solution." Ero said.

"I hate magic." Spidey expressed as he slumps back on the couch.

BGM End

"Magic?" Weiss then gasped as she gets an idea. "Of course. How 'bout we call Doctor Strange?"

"Doctor Who?" Viridi scratched her confused head.

"The Sorcerer Supreme from Spidey's world. He might know something to break the curse." Weiss answered.

"Great idea! I'll call him right now!" Spidey said as he gets his phone. "I can get service here, right?" He joked.

"I might know of a better solution." Palutena spoke up.

"What's better than the Sorcerer Supreme?" Peter asked.

Palutena stares at him before answering, "…The Rewind Spring." She answered, getting a loud gasp from Viridi and a curious eyebrow raise from Ero, both knowing what she's referring to.

"Judging from your expressions, this stuff sounds important." Dark Pit remarked.

"It is. I'll tell you more on the way over there." Palutena said.

"Will this stuff save Pit?" Peter asked her.

"I hope so."

"Good enough for me. Let's move team!" Spidey ordered his teammates before turning to Dark Pit. "You too, Pittoo!" He said, purposely annoying Dark Pit but was enough to convince him to join them on their mission.


Not long after…

"I'm outta here!" Dark Pit stated as he hops off the door to fly, equipping his Silver Bow for battle.

"Don't forget about us, Pittilee!" Sonic quipped as the others follow above a fogging canyon.

BGM-Kid Icarus Uprising OST-Scorched Feathers

'As you all know; Pit is still unconscious. With his wings burned up, he can't last much longer. But I thought of a way to save him.' Palutena said while they fight Underworld enemies.

"Of course you did." Dark Pit replied.

"Don't be like that. Pit's like your brother. He would do anything to save you if you were in danger." Spidey said to convince him to help them out.

The black angel stays silent for a moment, processing what would've happened if he was in danger and Pit would risk his own life to save him. He then sighed after the thought, "…All right. Then what's the next step? Where's this "Rewind Spring" you mentioned before?" Dark Pit asked.

'Go to the City of Souls. It's just a little ways ahead. It's the place where souls make their final passage into death…or back into life.' Palutena replied.

"You're not suggesting we-." Lucina began.

'Oh, I get it!' Viridi said, interrupting Lucina. 'You want to turn back the clock and cheat death. Raising the dead, keeping the near-dead alive…it's pretty dirty business.

'This is unlike you, Palutena.' Ero noticed.

'I know the stakes, but we don't have a choice.' Palutena replied.

"Hey, weren't you and Viridi just at war with each other?" Dark Pit asked while blasting Monoeyes out of the sky.

'Because Loki tricked us into fighting each other! Mind your own business! I'm not so petty that I can't extend an olive branch at a time like this.' Viridi retorted.

'Thank you, Viridi. And thank you for helping Pit and the Avengers when I couldn't.' Palutena said.

'Just so you know, this is NOT a hug-it-out moment.'

"May I recommend therapy instead?" Spidey quipped.

'Shut it you!'

The united heroes finish off a group of enemies before flying through a forest when they encountered cybernetically enhanced beings on hover bikes. "Ah great. The Chitauri." Spidey said, displeased to be fighting these group of aliens.

'What are they?' Viridi asked.

"An alien race Loki once used to attack the Earth, but the Avengers stopped them. He must have used the Nether Stone to bring some back to life as part of his army." Spidey replied as ISO Changes into his Corvus-Spider Mode to burn them.

'That Nether Stone is a dangerous weapon. The sooner we stop Loki, the better for everyone.' Palutena remarked.

"Got that right." Sonic replied as they finish off the Chitauri soldiers and continue on their quest.

"Not to hurt your feelings, but THIS Pit doesn't need your help to fly. So don't expect me to suck up to you." Dark Pit said to Palutena.

'If your flight's unlimited, you don't have to battle on land.' Palutena replied.

'So air battle only? It feels strange to say it, but I'm disappointed.' Viridi remarked.

"Me too. I love stretching my legs." Sonic then chuckled as he thought of some extremely reckless. "You know what." He jumps off his Extreme Gear and begins running on foot for the rest of the journey. "Much better!"

'It's not quite the same, but I appreciate the effort.' Viridi said as Sonic boost his way through more Chitauri foes as they arrive in a strange city will beautiful blue pillars all over the area.

"Wow…" Weiss said in amazement.

"What kind of city IS this?!" Dark Pit asked.

'It's unlike any earthly city. The spirits of the dead gather here.' Palutena answered.

"So really, it's the Underworld." Sonic remarked.

"YOU GOT IT." An oh-so familiar voice causes the heroes to sigh in tiredness before they spot a large projection of Hades around the corner.

"Oh…it's you." Dark Pit said in such a stoic, unfazed, uncaring tone, not caring about Hades, not even one bit.

"OUR HERO'S LOOKING A LITTLE GOTH TODAY. I HOPE THE STRESSES OF LIFE HAVEN'T GOTTEN YOU DOWN. THAT WOULD BE EVER SO TRAGIC."

"No one's listening." Pittoo replied as the witty projection fades away.

'It's hilarious how you have no sense of humor! But that sourpuss attitude's gonna give you an ulcer someday, you know.' Hades replied.

"Hades. You ARE aware Loki hasn't been the best of partners to you? He's been keeping you in the dark from a lot of stuff, man." Spidey told the lord of the underworld of Loki's schemes that almost put his world at risk.

'Oh, he told me.' Hades replied. 'A bit shocked. A bit hurt about some of his plans and how he executed them. Didn't think Loki would go so FAR just to have revenge on old papa. That's what I like about him. He's a true trickster at heart. So thrilled to be part of an experience with him.'

'It's official. You two were made for each other.' Viridi joked.

'I'll ask him out later.'

"Gross!" Weiss exclaimed.

'Anyway, Sonic, your understanding is correct. The Underworld is where souls go.' Viridi started explaining. 'As you know, Reapers are responsible for carrying souls.'

'But we've got an excess of souls these days. The Reapers can't handle them all! THANKS, LOKI DEAR!' Hades said.

"So the extra souls come here?" Dark Pit asked.

'Yes, though some just fade away. And others are…well…eaten.' Palutena said.

"Now THAT is gross!" Weiss remarked.

'Even in the afterlife, its survival of the fittest!' Hades said.

'That makes some sense. The weak are consumed, just as nature intended.' Viridi said.

"You guys need yourselves a ghost rider." Spidey quipped as he fights more Chitauri minions.

'I would, but I'm running low on flaming motorcycles.' Hades quipped as they proceed through a small tunnel, ending up in another section of the City of Souls.

'Remember when I said that some souls get eaten?' Palutena asked.

"Nope." Sonic joked.

'Well, here's the hideous devourer of souls himself!' Viridi said, ignoring Sonic as they spot a Frost Giant riding a giant soul-eating, eel like monsters lunges out at them and almost eats them.

"Is that a Frost Giant riding an eel?" Spidey asked before avoiding a swing from the roaring Frost Giant's icy club.

"You weren't kidding about the hideous part!" Dark Pit said as he flies away from the soul eel's disgustingly large mouth, repeatedly shooting at its eyes.

"Hope you're hungry for a beatdown!" Sonic quipped, spin attacking the Frost Giant in the chest and then repeatedly homing attack the sacs on the eel's back.

'I find him quite adorable, actually. And souls CAN be very delicious. Luckily, they don't possess personalities or anything like that.' Hades said.

"What—they don't?" Lucina replied as she blocks the Frost Giant's club.

'Of course not! Souls have no more personality than blood or bone. They're just another resource to harvest from living things.' Hades said while Weiss shoots a stream of fire to weaken the Frost Giant.

'Your disregard for life is just astounding. Could you be any more callous?' Viridi asked him while Dark Pit shoots more of the sacs while Sonic distracts the incoming monsters.

'Well, I could try. You know, souls are a bit like taffy. Sweet enough to eat. But pliable enough to mold into any shape I can imagine.' Hades replied while Spidey morphs his right gauntlet into a larger style and smashes the Frost Giant's face in.

'I don't even…That's just so…Um…Nuh-uh!'

"You got her speechless. Guess you really are a threat." Spidey joked.

'I'd love to get my hands on Pittooey's soul. So dark, so chewy, so malleable! A powerful spirit like that shouldn't be wasted on Ol' Chomper's lunch. Oh well. Guess I'll just use the Nether Stone to find darker one in another universe. We do need to power up the little thing after all.' Hades said as the team finishes off both the Frost Giant and its soul-eating pet as they fall to their doom, allowing them to continue proceeding through the soul city.

'Do you think Hades was serious about molding souls into other forms? And what was he talking about powering up the Nether Stone?' Viridi asked.

"I'm guessing the Nether Stone can collect souls from different universes. The more souls it collects, the stronger it becomes." Weiss replied.

'And according to Ero, the Nether Stone has no limit to how many souls it can collect. It could EASILY be the strongest Exo Stone in the whole multiverse!' Palutena said.

"This must have been another part of Loki's plot." Spidey added. "He started this whole war. Brought the Aurum and almost wiped out humanity. All to make himself stronger through the Nether Stone!"

"And to provide Hades with an endless supply of troops. He's making them out of souls! Souls from across dimensions!" Sonic conversed.

'So the mortals DO have a brain!' Hades said.

'But wait…If that's the case, there's no WAY the Underworld Army could ever lose!' Viridi said.

"And that's why Loki feels so confident he can rival the All-Father's power!" Lucina said.

'Uh…SPOILER ALERT!' Hades said.

'So let me get this straight. All the lives lost in battle, souls from other dimensions, go to building up the Underworld Army AND the Nether Stone...' Viridi asked.

'You got it. So the more fighting there is, the bigger my army gets, and the stronger Loki becomes to challenge Odin.' Hades said.

'Another reason why he's attacking the other realms before Asgard. To grow stronger.' Ero said.

'You got it! My goodness! It feels wonderful to be on the winning team!'

"Hold on a second. Your math is a little off. You might want to break out the Brain Age, pal." Dark Pit said.

'I have a brain age of 24!' Viridi proudly said.

"And mines around 56!" Spidey said.

'You are such a nerd.'

'And all of that is relevant because…?' Palutena asked.

"Think about all the casualties there have been in this war between the gods. If Hades was right that they're also collecting souls from other dimensions, the Underworld would be WAY more crowded with monsters." Dark Pit said.

"He's right. I haven't seen much souls since we got here. And I've been running around top to bottom!" Sonic said while running on the grounds of the soul city, barely noticing any souls left in the vicinity.

'Then that means that one fallen soldier doesn't equal one new Underworld monster. After all, creating something as corporeal as a monster would take...'

'A TON of souls!' Viridi exclaimed. '…But that's a huge waste! It's…an abomination!'

"Yeah, that's just about the sickest thing I've ever heard. We HAVE to stop them." Dark Pit replied as they spot the re-emergence of Hades's projection.

"YOU POOR DELUDED THINGS! YOU'LL NEVER STOP ME! NOT IN "MY" REALM!" He yelled as he prepares to strike at them.

"ERO!" Spidey yelled as he manifests his gigantic, roaring Man-Spider avatar into the scene.

"WHAT-?!" Hades's stunned when Ero punches him in the face, knocking him to his butt.

'Don't let him get under your skin!' Palutena said.

"I'LL BLOW YOU AWAY!" Ero launches a large energy sphere from his mouth at Hades but it was only an illusion he hit. "AN ILLUSION." He grunted as he returns to Peter.

"It's been great touring the City of Souls and all, but we're here to save Pit, right?" Dark Pit asked.

'Hey, no need to cop an attitude. Just keep moving forward.' Palutena instructed.

'Get a room, lovebirds.' Hades joked.

"Unbelievable…" Peter muttered.

'Peter…' A voice calls out to him.

"What? Who said that?" Spidey asked.

'Peter…' The same voice calls to him as the heroes arrive at a glowing stream of souls flowing through the air.

"Huh? Who's…" Peter uses his enhanced spider-sense to locate the source of the voice through the giant whirlpool of souls, and to his utter shock and horror, it's the soul he never thought he'd encounter ever again. "Oh my god…Harry…" He muttered when he learns his best friend, Harry Osborn, who died a long time is one of the BILLIONS of souls captured in the transdimensional whirlpool.

"Harry Osborn? But he's dead, on Earth." Weiss replied, just as stunned as Peter.

"So they really are collecting souls from other dimensions!" Sonic growled.

Spidey growled, angry that his deceased friends and possibly family are one of the few being used for Loki's and Hades's games. "I'm gonna make them pay…This has gone far enough!" He clenched his fists, really in the mood to punch something near-death.

"Just where are we anyways?" Lucina asked.

'This WAS a stream of souls. But so many lives have been lost that it's now a torrent. All souls need to find their final resting place down here so that life can spring anew. That's part of the natural cycle of life. But Hades and Loki keeps playing with souls. They won't let them rest. Their bloodlust has thrown everything off balance.' Palutena said.

'It's like humans disrupting the balance on Earth! It's unforgivable!' Viridi remarked.

'You have GOT to be joking!' Ero roared, scaring Viridi.

"You said it! ALL you gods and your stupid wars are the ones throwing everything off balance!" Dark Pit said in disgust.

"He's right! I hate to admit it, but most of you gods have been COMPLETELY irresponsible! Loki may have fooled us now, but before, your wars have put your world in countless dangers!" Lucina bravely said.

"That's pretty brave of you to say, Lucina." Weiss remarked.

"These gods have nothing on Lady Naga, I'm sorry." Lucina replied.

'You little nothing! How DARE you?' Viridi threatened.

'Can't handle the truth? Then toughen up! I've lived far longer than all of you, and I KNOW you haven't been doing a good job keeping order!' Ero said, angering Viridi until Palutena stepped in.

'They have a point. We have the Underworld Army out to hoard souls. We have the Forces of Nature trying to wipe out humanity. We have the humans continuing to exploit nature and each other. And we have us—gods—who drag the entire world into our power struggles.' Palutena said.

"But none of that matters how it started. Now we know who's profiting from it." Sonic said.

'Hades and Loki! Left unchecked, they threaten us all and the whole universe.' Viridi replied.

"Then we have no choice but to stop them." Lucina said.

"And we're gonna need Pit's help for that. He'd be jealous if we go on without him. Let's get him patched up." Spidey said as they close in on the Rewind Spring.

'Up ahead is the Rewind Spring. That's where you need to go. I'll bring Pit in right next to you.' Palutena said.

'As the name implies, the Rewind Spring can return things to their original states. But if you soak for too long, it'll rewind things too far, and that can get weird.' Viridi said.

"How weird?" Spidey asked.

'Let's try not to find out.' Viridi replied as they fly down to the Rewind Spring.

BGM End

"This water's clean right?" Sonic asked.

"Does it matter to you? You can't swim." Lucina replied.

"We don't want Pit wake up dirty." Sonic replied as Pittoo observes the sacred pool. While he does, Peter's spider-sense triggers to a glowing energy suddenly appears over his wings and lifts him into the air, screaming in pain.

"Pittoo!" He exclaimed as the energy separates from Dark Pit, causing him to fall to the ground.

'WHAT is going on?!' Viridi exclaimed as the dark energy gathers over the spring and dives into the water, emerging moments later as the revived goddess of calamity, Pandora.

"Well, that worked out nicely." Pandora said as she turns red.

"Her again?!" Weiss asked.

"Pandora…Ugh!" Dark Pit weakly said as he rises to his feet.

BGM-Kid Icarus Uprising OST-Boss Fight 1

'Wow! I sure wasn't expecting that!' Viridi said as Pandora proceeds to shoot fireballs at her enemies.

"YOU can thank Dark Pit for bringing me to the Rewind Spring. He was a rebellious servant, though it seems he still served my purposes in the end. But that little parasite DID steal my powers. And for that, he must pay! THE SAME GOES FOR THE ANNOYING PESTS WHO HELPED HIM TO DESTROY ME!" Pandora yelled.

"We can make it up. Wanna play poker?" Spidey quipped, angering the goddess of calamity to attack them with more fireballs.

'She can be quite frightening.' Palutena remarked.

'I hope I never get to that point.' Viridi said.

"You're already halfway there." Sonic quipped, hearing Viridi's annoyed groan while kicking back one of Pandora's bombs.

'Pandora's leftover power was what enabled Pittoo to fly.' Palutena said.

'He basically had her remains living in his wings. Gross. But standing too close to the Rewind Spring seems to have revived her.' Viridi said.

"Your freeloading days are over-!" Pandora retorted before getting smooshed by Pittoo's feet.

"Really. The whole flying thing worked out pretty well for me. I might just defeat you again and steal your power back!" Dark Pit smirked.

"I HIGHLY doubt that." Pandora retorted.

"Give it five seconds." Spidey quipped as he continuously webs up Pandora for Lucina, who proceeds to slash her up by the dozen before spin-slashing her away towards the spring.

BGM End

"Irritating little pests…Time to exterminate you!" Pandora declared as she hops back into the water.

"Going for another dip isn't gonna change-," Sonic would've continued taunting the red firecracker, if she didn't reemerge as a beautiful, exotic woman with gorgeous blue hair, leaving them all wide-eyed, "Whoa-ho-ho!" He finished, surprised.

'WHAAAAAAT?!' Palutena and Viridi shouted at the same time.

"Ooookay." Lucina said.

"Who is THAT?!" Dark Pit asked, curious.

"He he he he he he! It's the new, improved me! Ahhh... It's been so long since I've had a body! Eat your hearts out, ladies!" The reformed Amazon Pandora said as she strikes a pose with her sword.

BGM-Kid Icarus Uprising OST-Boss Fight 1

'SOMEone's overcompensating!' Viridi remarked.

'Feeling a little inadequate, Viridi?' Palutena teased her.

"Of course she is. You should too! Just LOOK at me!" Pandora smiled.

"Meh." Spidey shrugged.

"Meh?! AGAIN?!" Pandora replied, remembering Peter kept saying that during their last encounter.

"I've met cuter girls." Spidey calmly said, angering Pandora.

"Fine! What does your Other think of me?" She flirtatiously smirked.

'You reek worse than Palutena.' Ero casually responded.

"HUUUUH/HUUUUUH!" Both Pandora and Palutena growled in fury, with Pandora surrounded in a rage-filled aura and fires five destructive blade-shaped shockwaves along the ground that almost killed the them.

"YOU ARE TERRIBLE WITH WOMEN!" Spidey yelled at his Other as they are forced to defend themselves.

'Says the expert.' Ero calmly replied.

"No wonder you have no girlfriend!" Spidey retorted as they dodge her heart-shaped blasts.

'A cold-blooded warrior like me has no time, or the interest to pursue a relationship!' Ero shouted.

"I am going to KILL you, spiders!" Pandora angrily declared as she tries to slash Peter.

"Look what you got me into!" Spidey retorted.

'Then stop playing around!' Ero retorted back as Peter kicks her blade away and webs up her face for a vaulting kick to the head, sending her to get beat up by Dark Pit.

"I liked her better when she was just an evil blob." Weiss said.

'She's still an evil blob underneath. She just has better hair, that's all.' Viridi said while she watches Sonic spin-attacks her face.

'There you are, friends. I finally tracked you down! You're a stealthy bunch.' Hades re-entered the conversation as Pandora and Weiss clash blades.

'That's because I was using my power of ninjary.' Palutena joked.

'Riiight.' Viridi sarcastically said.

'What, you don't believe me?'

"NO!" Weiss shouted before Pandora paralyzed her with her heart, leaving Dark Pit to her rescue.

"I think that's something everyone can agree on." He said as he kicks Pandora in the face.

'Tone down the sass, little angel.' Viridi said.

"It's been a long time, Lord Hades." Pandora greeted her master.

'Hm? And you are…?' Hades asked, genuinely forgetting who Pandora is.

"Don't tell me you've forgotten your old friend Pandora." Pandora said.

"You are looking pretty old." Spidey quipped.

"And wrinkly!" Sonic quipped.

"SHUT UP!" Pandora furiously blasted them away with a blast from her sword.

'…I don't remember you being so…animated.' Hades remarked.

"That's not the half of it!" Pandora smiled.

"Still not impressed!" Dark Pit said as she shoots at her, but she blocks them with her heart-shaped barrier.

'If the Rewind Spring did this to Pandora, I shudder to think of its effect on Pitty! No one wants to see him in that outfit. I'd better destroy the spring.' Hades decided.

'You can't do that!' Palutena exclaimed.

'Come on, Avengers! Get rid of Pandora for good!' Viridi ordered.

"I blame Ero for starting this!" Spidey said.

'Oh, for the love of god…' Ero groaned.

Pandora summons more bombs into the field, allowing Sonic to repeatedly kick them at her before they could explode, leaving her inside a large smoke cloud. "Can you fight through the smoke?" Sonic's voice taunted her as Lucina dashes in for a few slashes on Pandora before disappearing through the smoke.

"That body doesn't change how old you are on the inside!" Spidey's voice starts to taunt her.

"Shut it-!" Pandora retorted before she was cut off by some of Weiss's speedy blade thrusts through the smoke.

"What's the matter, Pandora? Is your age catching up to you?" Dark Pit taunts her as Spidey zips over her for a knee to the gut before Sonic rushes in for a barrage of punches as they both disappear into the smoke.

"Good night, Pandora!" Weiss said.

"See you in the afterlife!" Lucina stated as Dark Pit cuts through the smoke for a finishing dual-blade strike, re-defeating the Amazon Pandora.

BGM End

"Ow!" She simply said.

"THIS coming from the mighty Pandora?" Pittoo asked as she falls to the ground in defeat.

Pandora growls at her enemies, slowly standing through the pain to have another go at them, but suddenly her body starts to repeatedly fade in and out of existence. "H-Hey! What's this!? Hey, stop! Loki! Stop! I can still fight! I…!" She screams as her soul is sent flying through the sky before it disappears.

The group is shocked as they wonder what happened with Pandora. "Pandora?" Spidey asked.

'It seems Loki got bored of her and collect her soul for the Nether Stone.' Palutena said.

"That is messed up." Sonic remarked as she sends in Pit's body, who's face is partially gone negative, a similar color scheme to the crime boss, Mr. Negative.

"This curse is getting pretty bad." Pittoo said.

"He's turning into Nega Pit." Sonic quipped.

"Sonic…" Weiss glared at him.

"Sorry. Sorry. No jokes for 10 minutes." Sonic replied.

'Dip the Dream Stone into the Spring. It'll help break the curse and heal the boy.' Ero instructed as Sonic hands Peter the Exo Stone. The webhead attaches it on a web strand and throws it into the middle of the pool.

"I wonder what's gonna bite?" Spidey joked as he notices the Spring gains a bright rainbowish color from the stone's power.

'Good. Now you only need to dip him in.' Viridi instructed Dark Pit, who carefully lowers Pit's upper half, dipping his wings briefly before pulling him back.

Pit's wings glow and return to normal, and he awakens soon after. "Hmm?" The high-spirited angel hops up and starts doing flips. "Ha ha ha!" He then strikes a pose. "Woo hoo hoo hoo!" And then looks around his new surroundings. "Where am I?"

"Hey, look! It's worked!" Peter smiled.

"Huh? Spidey!" Pit exclaimed as he runs up to his role-model.

"Nice to have you back, Icarus." Spidey told him, giving him a bro-fist.

"Was I dead?" Pit asked.

"Eh. Mostly." Peter causally replied as the others, except for Pittoo walk up to happily greet Pit

"Good to have you back, dude." Sonic smiled, giving Pit a high-five.

"Good to BE back!" Pit smiled.

"We were all worried." Lucina smiled.

"You gotta stop being reckless." Weiss said, but is still happy to have him back to life.

"I was trying to be, y'know, greater." Pit replied, still inspired by Peter's heroics and wisdom.

"And you did. Good job, kid." Spidey said, giving a proud pat on his shoulder.

Pit chuckles before noticing Dark Pit nearby, "Pittoo?!"

"Not gonna say hi to your brother?" Peter asked, but he just grunts off over the ledge, attempting to fly until he remembered he doesn't have Pandora's powers anymore, so he falls to his doom.

'He can't fly anymore.' Palutena said.

Viridi sighed, 'Fine, fine. I'll get him.' She reluctantly teleports Pittoo.

Pit happily looks to the sky, "Lady Palutena! Lady Palutena!" He exclaimed, extremely happy to be reunited with his favorite goddess as she shines her light on them.

'Welcome back, Pit.' Palutena smiled.

'I missed you so much!' Pit replied.

'I missed you too. Let's go home. We have some worlds to save.' She said as they are whisked away.


BGM-Kid Icarus Uprising OST-Opening

Spider-Man: Hey, it's Spider-Man. Alright! Time to take the fight to Hades!

Pit: That guy has been annoying from day one! Let's take him out first, then Loki!

Hades: You really think it'll be THAT easy?

Spidey-Man: AH! My armor!

Pit: The Three Sacred Treasures!

Hades: You know what? I'm hungry. I should go for a quick snack.

Weiss: Hey! Stop! Don't even think about it! Stop looking at us like that!

Next time on D-Avengers: God Mission:

The Lord and Goddess of the Underworld

Spider-Man: Oh good lord. What has this guy been eating?


KFX Here: We're approaching the finale of this story, ladies and gentlemen. I decided to be a little more original next chapter. Nothing too major, just a different setting to a brand new world. What world? Can't say, but I can say next chapter will guest-star Hela, the Goddess of Death from Marvel Comics.

Regarding the Chitauri, the events of 2012 "The Avengers" didn't exactly happen in this continuity. Just think of it as a random invasion the Avengers stopped one day. It had nothing to do with Thanos and whatnot. Just to let you all know.
