Your wish is true, Dragonblaze66! Now, I think it should be obvious but if you haven't yet finished Kid Icarus Uprising Chapter 9 get out now and finish it. You'll thank me. Also, this update has been slow for multiple reasons: 1. I needed to be connected to the internet to watch a lets play of Kid Icarus Uprising to make sure this fit's with the cannon. And 2. School just started so I've been 6 hours short on time to make this sooo... sorry? Either way its here!

Dark Pit and Ignast reached the entrance at the the crack of dawn.
"There it is!" Ignast yelled, pointing into the large ravine ahead.
"Dive!" Dark Pit yelled back and they flew down.
"Mono eyes!" Iganst said, as a swarm flew up from underneath. Dark Pit shot at them with a silver bow, he had remade it after Dyntos destroyed his original, when suddenly a swarm of bugs flew at him, clawing at his arms.
"Shootflies! Wait until the Monoeyes come close, then melee!" Dark Pit said, quickly separating his bow, and doing as he said. Dark Pit sailed further down. The ravine suddenly turned into a cave.
"ORNE!" Ignast yelled, and sure enough the dreaded creature of death appeared. Dark Pit waited until the very last moment and dodged left, quickly flying past the skull. The cave walls disappeared, now instead the only barrier being slabs of stone, circling around them. Dark Pit continued on, pulling out the crystal Dyntos had gave him. It had to work. Ignast flew next to him, having had a bit more trouble with the orne, eventually dodging it.
"Ready?" Iganst asked pulling out his own crystal.
"Of course," Dark Pit said, and they flew at top speed, the barrier straight ahead of them. Their crystals glowed. And Dark Pit soared through, closing his eyes. The moment he hit the barrier, heat scorched his face, and at the same time he heard a sickening BAM! from behind. Dark Pit opened his eyes turned around, and saw Ignast had smacked into he barrier, rather than going through it. Dark Pit look down, to see if he had fumbled with the crystal before going through. Nope. In Ignast's hand was a crystal.
"What the!" Ignast, said, groaning.
"The barrier!" Dark Pit said, looking at in amazement. "It's smart! It knows there's only 1 key!"
"Darn it," Ignast said, "than throw me yours! It should work if you put it back through the barrier. Dark Pit looked at his crystal. It suddenly cracked, then exploded into powder.
"Cheap knockoff," Dark Pit said, brushing the powder of his toga.
"What do I do!?" Ignast asked, worried.
"The solidity of the barrier should wear off soon," Dark Pit said, hoping he was right, "then you can come through. Meanwhile, keep that end safe!"
"Got it!" Ignast said, and zoomed off.
"Now, then, let's move!" Dark Pit said, flying off in the direction of Medusa castle, which he had found inside Pandora's memories. A few monoeyes appeared and shot at him, but he just shot back. Where were all the monsters?
"Maybe Medusa is saving them for Pit?" Dark Pit muttered to himself, looking around.
"Or maybe she believes that one is enough to take care of any early guests," said a female voice behind him. It was raspy and hollow, sending a chill up his spine. Dark Pit spun on the spot. A figure was hovering in front of him. She had overlarge robes on, with red eyes visible under the hood. Her hands were not visible, nor were her feet.
"Who are you?" Dark Pit said, 'nocking' an arrow to his bow.
"Tsk, tsk," the person said, "so impatient." She held up her hands. "FIRE!" A huge fireball appeared in her hand, and she flung it at Dark Pit. He quickly flew out of the way.
"A fire element," Dark Pit muttered, "in that case..." he dispelled his bow and summoned a poseidon cannon. He shot at the person. Suddenly a bolt of lightning shot through the sphere of water, hitting Dark Pit square in the chest. Dark Pit groaned and dispelled his cannon, summoning his bow. "So, neither?" Dark Pit said, flying around the figure and firing. A force field appeared around the person as the shots got near, destroying the arrows. Dark Pit growled.
"Who are you!?" he yelled. The figure laughed.
"I am the goddess of magic Hecate!" she said, summoning another fireball and hurling it at Dark Pit. Dark Pit slashed as the fireball came near, deflecting it back at Hecate. Suddenly, Dark Pit accidentally activated his ability to hear telepathy, and could hear Palutena talking.
"The metal backs on Boogities resist everything, even Arrows of Light. Be careful." Dark Pit tuned into where the it was trying to go. He looked to his left and saw Pit. He quickly flew there, hoping to get some of Pit's enemies. As he had suspected, Pit was fighting three Boogities. He quickly flew past, firing at the Boogities and killing them.
"Waah!" Pit yelled. "Pittoo!"
"What did you just call me?" Dark Pit hissed.
"What are you doing here?" Pit asked.
"The same thing your doing. Pummeling Underworld fools. I'm just way better at it."
"Maybe you also sensed that Pit could use your help," Palutena said.
"Don't make me laugh. Now, enough talky talk. There's fighting to be done!" Dark Pit said. "I'm out of here!"
"It was nice of you to show up-" Pit's comment was stifled by the roar of wind passing by Dark Pit's ears. Dark Pit sailed toward Hecate, and slammed the flat of his bow into her head.
"AUGH!" Hecate yelled falling backwards, surprised.
"Miss me?" Dark Pit said.
"Not in the slightest!" Hecate screamed, and shot a barrage of ice pellets at Dark Pit. He shifted his bow to one hand and summoned a Twinbellows cannon, firing a shot at the pellets and blasted them apart. Dark Pit has a sudden idea. He dispelled the bow and summoned a first blade in his left hand. He shot at Hecate, and, as he suspected, a force field appeared, vaporizing it. He hefted his cannon with one hand, and dual wielded the blade and cannon. He shot both at the same time. Hecate frantically looked around, and put up the force field. The cannon's shot vaporized, but the blade's got through fine. Dark Pit smirked. He shot both again. This time the blade's shot was vaporized, but the cannon's got through. But just before that, he heard Ignast's voice.
"NOW!" Ignast yelled, and just as the shot vaporized, a red blur shot into the force field. Hecate screamed. Ignast was inside the force field, hitting Hecate repeatedly. "Go!" Iganst yelled, "Pit's in trouble!" Dark Pit glanced to his left, and groaned. Pit was fighting a giant enemy, and losing. Dark Pit flew straight toward it. He positioned himself so he was going toward it feet first, and smashed his leg into the monster's face.
"Hi-yah!" Dark Pit yelled.
"Pittoo!" Pit yelled. The enemy fell to the ground, and a force field surrounding a castle behind Dark Pit dissolved.
"And that's how you take out a boss!" Dark Pit laughed.
"For future reference, face kicking usually isn't this effective," Palutena said.
"Get a move on before more defenses show up," Dark Pit said.
"Pittoo's right. We should go, even if it means taking orders from HIM," Palutena said, and Pit started to fly toward an entrance.
"Thanks, Pittoo!" Pit said.
"PLEASE stop calling me that," Dark Pit growled.
"Pit, get ready to go in," Palutena said, and Dark Pit turned around, flying back toward Hecate. There wasn't much to do. Hecate was still being pummeled by Ignast, but as soon as Dark Pit appeared, she exploded. Dark Pit flew up to Ignast, high-fiving him.
"She was much more about ranged combat then close range," Ignast said, "as soon as you break through her force field, she's as good as dead."
"Pit's inside," Dark Pit said," so now we just have to hold out until he defeats Medusa."
"Easy enough," Ignast said, "Medusa didn't think that anyone would be able to get past Hecate."
"You know," Dark Pit said, "I've been thinking about something."
"What?" Ignast asked.
"It's about something Prometheus said," Dark Pit said.
"What?"
"He said 'I serve my master Ha- err, Medusa,' I've been rummaging through Pandora's memories, and found a place that I some how couldn't access."
"What was it?" Ignast asked excitedly.
"I found one word: Hades," Dark Pit said.
"Who's that?" Ignast asked.
"I don't know!" Dark Pit yelled, "I'm sure that there's someone behind Medusa, and that person is Hades, but I don't know who Hades is!"
"Oh, you don't?" Dark Pit heard a voice say. Dark Pit spun around, and saw a huge figure. It had purple skin and long, multi-colored hair. It also wore purple robes.
"Hades!" Dark Pit realized, and suddenly the locked off memories opened, and he knew: this was the true leader.
"Really, I'm surprised no one realized it yet!" Hades said. "But, by all means! Continue your little ah, conversation. I have a plot twist to create! See you!" Hades disappeared. Dark Pit growled.
"What are we going to do!?" Ignast said.
"I'm going to warn Pit," Dark Pit said, and he shot off toward the castle Pit had entered. He flew in, paying no attention to his surroundings, going further and further into the castle, his only thought to go faster. For something told him that if Pit was off guard and died, it would be only bad news. Dark Pit entered a huge chamber, but everything was black, and he saw Hades in front of Pit.
"I bid you ado," Hades said, and Pit disappeared. Dark Pit sped at Hades.
"Take this!" Dark Pit yelled, slashing at Hades' face with twin blades.
"Gnat!" Hades yelled, swiping at Dark Pit. Dark Pit dodged, firing at Hades' eyes. Nothing happened. Dark Pit held out his hand, and shot a laser out of it, straight into Hades' face. Nothing. Hades seemed bored. He swiped at Dark Pit again, and this time, it hit. Pain seared up Dark Pit's arm. His vision blurred. He shot at Hades again, but to the same result. Hades punched Dark Pit with his huge hand, and Dark Pit blacked out. However, just before he did, he could swear he heard a girl's voice yell out: "You idiot!" and his vision filled with green, and with a leaf fluttering in front of his eyes.
