XD; sorry for the wait, i had intended to have the next chapter out the day after the first, but i got distracted with my LoZ comic on dA and of course, there was no feedback on this fiction so i was getting the impression no one wanted to read it. But i got some decent comments on dA and so here we go! Sorry for the tiny chapters I'm just... not that good of a writer and I can't manage to make longer ones..
Oh yeah, and i know you CAN see Arlon at least a little when you battle him but let's pretend you can't XD. No beta.

"So, you're sure everything is still fully operational?" Viridi asked a slight frown on her face.
"Yes, Mistress Viridi, I am positive. All damage caused by that angel pest has been repaired, and all prisoners remain in their cells. And thanks to dear Dark Pit, the control center remained completely unscathed."
Viridi let out a sigh of relief. "Good. We don't want anything getting out." The goddess of nature grinned as she let out a small giggle. "Looks like Palutena has learned the consequences of sticking her nose where it doesn't belong. Too bad it had to be at the cost of her spunky little sidekick."
"All good things do come at a price, mistress Viridi." Arlon chuckled along with her, both glad that the Lunar sanctum was safe, and that a harsh blow had been dealt to the meddling goddess of light. "It's almost enough to warrant a celebration."
"Well don't start the party without me." Virid and Arlon snapped their attention towards the new speaker.
"Ahh, Dark Pit, what brings you here? Come to celebrate the demise of your doppelganger?" Arlon asked laxing only slightly as he did not trust the dark angel anymore then he had trusted his light counterpart.
"Oh yeah, cause that's exactly what I want to do!" Dark Pit snapped sarcastically.
Viridi quirked a brow at Dark Pit's behavior. "What's your problem? You're the one who killed him, not us. And why does it matter? Didn't you want him gone anyway?"
The dark angel grit his teeth together and shot a death glare at the goddess of nature and her commander. "He shouldn't have died! He didn't have to die! If you," he jabbed a finger towards Arlon. "Hadn't made me come here, this wouldn't have happened!"
"You're welcome." Arlon said rolling his eyes, a bored expression plastered on his face. "Honestly, the way you're acting I would swear you were just another of Palutena's drones."
"I am no ones drone! I serve only myself!" Dark Pit snapped back taking up a fighting stance.
"It seems there is no reasoning with this one." Arlon sighed crossing and uncrossing his legs as he floated in midair before landing on his feet to start the inevitable battle. "Mistress Viridi, would you mind-"
"Knock yourself out." The nature goddess shrugged and faded from sight.
"Don't worry Arlon, this will be slow and painful." The dark angel sneered before lunging at the other being.
"How droll..." Arlon sighed lept into the air making the room fade to almost absolute darkness.
Dark Pit curses under his breath as he lost the ability to see his opponent. "Where are you hiding?"
"Now, now, Dark Pit, if I told you that I would no longer be hidden, now would I?" Arlon responded before two large bursts of energy collided with the back of the dark angel.
Dark Pit let out a shout of surprise and quickly turned around trying to find some trace of Arlon. But it was no use. Every time he turned around to face where an attack had come from, another would hit him from behind. "This is stupid." Dark pit spat grinding his teeth as he tried to at least avoid the attacks. "There has to be some sort of trick to this."
"Oh there is no trick," Arlon chuckled as the darkness faded revealing him charging yet another attack. "At least, none that a mere angel could ever see."
Dark Pit dodged the next attack, but only barely, and he quickly fired off a few arrows while he could still see his target, only some of which actually hit causing Arlon to chuckle. "This battle was over before it began."
The area began to darken again and the fallen angel groaned, getting ready to dodge whatever was thrown at him. His only thoughts being that maybe, just maybe, he might have bitten off more then he could chew...

Palutena, goddess of light, was looking rather glum as she stood waiting outside a quickly assembled critical care unit. No one in all of Angel Land had ever been hurt this badly before. So in lieu of the emergency their usual first aid building had been converted into a sort of hospital, to try and revitalize the fallen Pit.
The light goddess had been beside herself with grief at the end of Pit's battle with his darker half in the lunar sanctum, but once getting him back home, she realized he was still alive, if only barely, and afterwords they had done all they could to stabilize the poor angel. Palutena was now stuck playing the waiting game with a few of the Centurions who came to try and help the situation.
'Please don't die, Pit... I couldn't bear the thought of loosing you...' Palutena thought crossing her arms over her chest. Pit was her best friend, and her most devoted follower, as well as the captain of her guards. If he didn't pull through, all of Angel Land would weep for him...
xXxXx
SO YEAH! as you can see, Pit is not dead! at least... not yet ; ) More to come~!
