Chapter 14
Holding his breath Pit watched as Tip opened the one remaining cell. Another suracai appeared, some sort of creature that looked like a giant blue duck in robes. They dragged out two people. Silvounous and Palutena. The suracais set off down the hall and Pit followed.
Few minutes later and they arrived at their destination. Some sort of chamber. It's walls were dark and covered with all sorts of plant life. It's ceiling was cracked and it's floor dusty.
Tip handed the duck a dagger which he placed at Palutena's throat. "Now Silver if you want your mother to live then you'll obey my every command, got that."
"Yes Tip."
"Good than how bout we start with a kiss." Rage filled every pore as Pit listened. Hell no! You stay far away from my Silvounous! Don't you dare touch her! Pit had to fight the side of himself that had claimed Silvounous, in order not to jump in and put everyone in danger. Silvounous leaned toward his cheek. "Oh no Silver, lips not cheek." Pit imagined himself ripping Tip's head off and kicking it around like a soccer ball. That was a better image.
Silvounous kissed him briefly, obviously not enjoying it. "Good girl. Now, take your shirt off." You asshole! You touch her you die! Once again Pit had to get himself under control. Silvounous took it off accordingly as Pit imagined Tip burning to death on a stake.
Tip took a step forward and placed a finger right over Silvounous' heart. "Right here should do." Fuck! He's planning to eat her soul!
"No! Don't you dare you monster!" cried Palutena. Tip ignored her and leaned in toward her heart, opening his mouth as he did so.
No. He can't do this. He can't take away her soul. She can't become a suracai. She can't. He couldn't wait any longer lest he wanted Silvounous to become his enemy. With these thoughts he tackled Tip.
"Pit!" cried Palutena and Silvounous in unison.
He ignored them and threw a punch at Tip, who he had pinned down. There was a snap and Pit knew he had broken Tip's nose.
Tip somehow gained the strength to throw Pit off cause next thing Pit knew he was in the air. He soon regained control of himself and he soared straight at Tip. Tip caught Pit and threw him back at the wall. He hit the wall hard.
"Palutena!" cried Silvounous. Pit looked over and saw that the duck thing had sliced Palutena's neck. Hatred filled Silvounous' eyes and then the knife was out of the suracai's hands and in hers. Fear flashed in the monsters eyes. Silvounous stabbed him and he went down.
Then Silvounous was sprinting at Tip with the knife pointed at him. She lashed out at Tip only to have him dodge the attack and send her flying.
"Silvounous!" cried Pit. There was no answer from her. Soon Pit was tackling Tip again. Tip sent Pit against the wall Silvounous was slumped by. His hand ended on the knife. Pit grasped the knife and stood back up. Clutching the knife he watched as Tip ran to tackle him.
When he came within range Pit stabbed him. Tip screamed and then he disappeared.
Kneeling down Pit grabbed Silvounous by the shoulders and shook her once. "Silvounous. Silvounous wake up. Silvounous please." He shook her a second time.
What if she was dead? But she wasn't, was she? His insides crumbled and a tear slithered down his cheek. Pit had never cried before, not even when he had lost his whole family too the suracais. But now... Now he was crying for Silvounous.
"Silvounous! Silvounous please! Please wake up!" There was a twitch and then her eyes fluttered open.
"Pit?"
"Silvounous." Then he was cradling her in his arms.
Silvounous looked up into Pit's eyes with a pained look. "You're crying."
"I thought I had lost you."
"Oh."
He wanted to kiss her right then. But he wouldn't. Not after they had just gone through hell. Hah. They still were in hell.
"Are you alright Pit?" He smiled at that.
"Fine, now that I know you are alive."
"Palutena, mom, is she alright?"
"I'm not sure." Pit checked his leader's pulse, it was gone. She was gone. Palutena had lost to much blood. "I'm sorry, Silvounous. But... She's gone." Pit felt a slight sting. Palutena had been like his mother.
Silvounous sat on the hard stone, silent, wondering what she should feel. She felt some sadness, but not as much as she herself would have expected herself to feel after someone related to her had died. Then again, she hadn't really known her mother. After all the woman had left her at a young age.
"I'll uh... go free the other's then I will take you home alright?" Silvounous just nodded her head in response.
Soon the Icarus were all freed and were flying home too Skyworld. "Will you stay with me on earth?"
"On earth?"
"You mean you're not taking me back to earth?"
"No. I'm taking you back home. To Skyworld."
"What?! Why?"
"Cause that's where we belong silly?"
"Oh."
Very gently, Pit kissed Silvounous. She didn't fight him. When their lips parted she said, "I thought you weren't supposed to love a human."
"But your not human so there's no problem." Another gentle kiss was shared between them. "I love you so much Silvounous."
"I love you just as much Pit." He smiled at that.
Silvounous smiled and said, "Just promise me you won't leave."
Pit smiled back at her and said, "Together forever."
