Well, I'm on time. That's better then the last story! Anyway, I've been watching a lot of Full Metal Alchemist lately. (In fact, the first chapter was made while watched it) If you guys haven't seen it yet, DEFINITELY check it out. I can't get enough! So... right, back on "topic."
DISCLAIMER: I OWN (almost) NOTHING!
Dark Pit looked around the dark area. He, Ignast, and Haizina seemed to be lit up, but nothing around them was. Then, the humanoid Chaos Kin materialized.
"Hello there, Dark Pit," it said, smiling.
"Chaos Kin!" Dark Pit yelled, pointing his staff at the Chaos Kin. Dark Pit fired, but the shot passed through the Chaos Kin harmlessly.
"And you," the Chaos Kin said, turning to Haizina. His eyes burned with hatred. "I won't even play with you." The Chaos Kin swiped his hand, and a barrage of shots appeared, homing in on Haizina. Ignast jumped in front of her, and summoned Guardian Orbitars. The shots hit Ignast's orbitars, disappearing. The Chaos Kin turned around, raising an eye-brow.
"Why did you bring that one here?" The Chaos Kin asked. "He will be nothing but trouble."
"Not so," came another voice, this one calm. Another person appeared. He wore a long white robe, and glasses. He had straight brown hair, and in his hand was a large tome, which was open. Different letters and words surrounded him. He closed the tome, and the letters and words disappeared. "He has his purposes."
"Who are you?" Dark Pit asked, shifting his aim from the Chaos Kin to the newcomer.
"I am another of the Kin," the newcomer said. "I am known by many as the Knowledge Kin. My real name, however, is Cerdas."
"Knowledge Kin?" Dark Pit said, confused.
"Another of the Kin…" Haizina mused. "Wait, you don't mean there are more people like the Chaos Kin!?"
"Bingo," Cerdas said. "We are like gods but much older, and much more powerful. We were created before existence! And we want to-"
"Shut up, Cerdas," the Chaos Kin said. "Don't tell them our plan!"
"Right," Cerdas said, confused for a second. "Sorry. Anyway, we don't plan for you to get out of here alive. We have no need of you. It's time to die." The Chaos Kin and Kaustes laughed, then Cerdas lazily swiped his hand. A swarm of underworld monsters appeared, then flew towards the three. Dark Pit held up his hand and let Medusa's power flow through him.
"You are the monsters of the Underworld!" Dark Pit yelled clearly. "I have the goddess of darkness's powers! I AM YOUR MASTER!" The monsters hesitated for a moment. The next thing Dark Pit knew he was being fired upon by the monsters. He barely dodged the first wave of shots, and flew over to Ingast and Haizina. "Well, that worked." He said, swapping out his staff for his silver bow.
"Let's take these guys," Ignast said, throwing aside his orbiters and hefting his Phoenix arm, which he hadn't dispelled. Haizina readied her Darkness Bow. Dark Pit screamed a war cry and flew at the enemies, slashing wildly, slowly thinning their ranks. Just as the enemies ranks began to thin, Cerdas appeared behind Dark Pit, his tome open.
"Sorry," he said, "but I'm afraid you aren't supposed to survive this encounter." He thrust his palm at Dark Pit, and words floating around him flew forward in a cylinder, going right through Dark Pit. The words stung, and he was being hit by a hundred each second. Dark Pit sent out a shock wave, and dark energy flew out of him, throwing the words away.
"Take this!" Dark Pit yelled, firing at Cerdas. Cerdas simply grinned, and thrust his arm upward. The words formed a shield, blocking Dark Pit's attack.
"Now die!" Cerdas screamed, and he made a circle with his hands. The words started to surround Dark Pit, then flew towards him, binding him.
"No!" Haizina yelled, appearing out of nowhere and slicing at the words, which fell to the ground.
"Thanks," Dark Pit said, readying his bow. Cerdas growled.
"You will do as I command!" Cerdas yelled, slamming his hands together, then pushing them out. The words made spikes, flying towards Dark Pit and Haizina. Dark Pit ducked below one and slashed at it from below. The words he had cut off fell down and disintegrated.
"That's it!" Dark Pit said. "Cut off the words from the whole, and they disintegrate!"
"You won't get the chance!" Cerdas said making a complicated gesture with his hands. The words started to glow. "I'll blow you all up!"
"Not happening!" Dark Pit said, then focused on Ignast and Haizina. He willed his power to teleport them all away. "There's something odd about this place! It's prolonging my teleport!"
"I'll buy you some time!" Ignast said, coming up from behind Cerdas and hitting him with his arm. Cerdas's hands were thrown off the pattern, and he was forced to start again, but not before forming a shield around himself.
"5!" Cerdas said. Dark Pit tried to force himself through the wall of magic. If he could just make it through… "4!" He pushed all his will to the teleportation... "3!" He started to feel his atoms rearranging… "2!" He could see a light fall down around Haizina and Ignast… "1!" Almost there… "KABOOM!" Just as the words reached their max glow, Dark Pit, Haizina, and Ignast disappeared.
Dark Pit appeared in a large plain. Ignast and Haizina were next to him, panting.
"That was too close!" Ignast gasped, falling to the ground in relief.
"Sorry guys," Dark Pit said, also tired, "I think I used some of our energy to power the teleport. Wherever we were… they really did not want us getting out."
"What do you think they needed me for?" Ignast asked Dark Pit.
" I dunno," Dark Pit admitted. "Maybe it has to do with how you were the pheonix's servant? Or that you have Prometheus's powers?"
"So what do we do next?" Haizina asked.
"As much as I hate to admit it," Dark Pit said, "we're going to need a goddesses help. And I know just the goddess."
"You think Palutena will help?" Ignast asked.
"She doesn't have much of a choice," Dark Pit said, "we're going after the Chaos Kin and other's like Cerdas. Palutena wants to stop evil doers as much as we do. So let's get going."
Well, that was a somewhat action-heavy chapter. And we also introduced one of our antagonists! I hope you enjoyed it. As always, review, follow, and favorite! If you see any problems, feel free to PM me! Now, if you don't mind, I have to go feed my two addictions. (Starts playing The World Ends With You while watching Full Metal Alchemist.)
