OK, so here's the story. I decided a few weeks after the last chapter came out that I'd put myself into cryosleep until the next Smash DLC character came out. I tasked my friends with this, and they woke me up when Cloud came out. Of course, this blew my mind, and it takes a while to scrape off that brain matter off the walls. And you now how much that brain matter smells, it's horrible, and I couldn't get any work done. Anyway now I've got it all gone, I'm ready to freaking write again.

In all serious, you may want to go back and read the last few chapters to get a quick refresher. As for what you've missed... well I've gone from 2% weeabo to about 60% so there's that. I'm REALLY sorry for taking this long! I hope you enjoy!

DISCLAIMER: I OWN NOTHING! (Except everything I do own. That doesn't count.)

As it turned out, Dark Pit was wrong about the kin trying to find them. For 3 weeks, they waited in Icarus's warehouse, while Icarus tinkered with their weapons. Nothing happened. Finally, they got a visitor, though it wasn't who they expected.

Dark Pit heard a knock on the door, and sprinted toward it, breaking apart his bow. He kicked the door open, and put his blade to the stranger's neck. He heard a scream and focused his sight on the stranger. It was a female angel, with short, bright blue hair. She wore no laurel wreath, and had on a blue dress. She looked around 10. Two guardian orbitars floated around her, which were blocking Dark Pit's bow.

"Who are you?" Dark Pit asked, pressing his bow closer to the angel. The orbitars held firm, however.

"I'm Ura," she said. "Now, um…" she pointed at his bow.

"What do you want?" Dark Pit asked.

"I'm servant of Poseidon!" she said. "My lord told me to get help and- um… are you Pit?" Dark Pit put his bow by his side.

"No," he growled, "I am Dark Pit. Why does Poseidon need help?"

"Oh, sorry to bother you Dark Pit!" she said quickly. "But, er, my lord is under attack by someone, he called him, er, the Darkness Kin, I think."

"A Kin!" Icarus said, running up to the two. "We're happy to help!"

"Wait a second," Dark Pit said. "I won't follow any gods orders."

"Poseidon just needs help," Ura said, "but he said to get Pit…"
"That weakling won't be able to help you," Dark Pit said, as Iganst and Haizina walked over.

"He's not lying," Haizina said. "Palutena is fighting Viridi now. Pit is busy in that fight. We'll help."

"Uh, OK," Ura said. "We better hurry!" She started to fly off. Dark Pit activated thepower of flight and flew after her, followed by Haizina, Icarus and Ignast.

"Hey," Dark Pit said, "you know we can't breath underwater, right?"

"Of course I know that," Ura said. "The enemy has made a bubble of air around Poseidon's Temple, you should be fine."

"And how do we get to the temple?" Haizina asked.

"That!" Ura said, pointing toward something in the sky. It was a door, but blue, with drawings of the sea adorned on it. It opened, showering blue light over the angels and Icarus.

"Ura!" came a voice, an old voice, which Dark Pit knew instantly was Poseidon. "Who are these people? I told you to get Pit!"

"Pit can't help you," Dark Pit informed Poseidon.

"Palutena's embroiled in a war with Viridi," Ignast said. "Pit's busy there. I would've thought you'd know that, being a god."

"Blame that Kin," Poseidon said. "It's more than just visibly dark around him, all communications are cut off. Ura just barely managed to get out."

"Sorry…" Ura said, looking at her feet. "I-I should've done better! I bet Pit could've gotten out easily…"

"Don't worry about it," Icarus said, mocking ruffling her hair and instead looking at her wings.

"Ura, you're just a girl," Poseidon said, "you were barely created a year ago! You'll be as good as Pit soon!"

"Right," Haizina said. "And you did a good job! You made it out!"

"T-thanks, I'm glad your helping us though," Ura said.

"No problem, we're searching for these guys anyway," Dark Pit said.

"Is that so?" Poseidon said. "Well you weren't doing much…"

"We were waiting for them to meet us," Dark Pit explained.

"Is that so?" Poseidon said. "Well, we're glad for your help anyway." And they flew through the door, entering into a room.

It was quite beautiful, if you were into water. The doorway opened to a large orb-like room, with water surrounding it, and all kinds of sea creature in that water. The floor was a platform, going from the door to the center of the room, where it expanded into a circle, and then divided into 3 paths, going in opposite directions, and into hallways. Below them was more water, with more sea creatures. In the center, on the circle, stood an old man with a staff and robe, customary of his staff as a god. He had light blue skin, and long, curling white hair. Poseidon.

"Lord Poseidon!" Ura said, running up to him after entering after Dark Pit. Poseidon hugged her, then put her down and looked towards Dark Pit.

"I haven't heard much about you," Poseidon said. "But it appears I have no choice but to trust you. You're standing in one of the few places in my ocean Palutena's light still touches. Even then, only through numerous protection spells. Out any of these hallways," he gestured to the hallways, "you will see only pitch darkness."

"Got it old man!" Icarus said, stepping in front of Dark Pit. "But, hey, any chance I could have just a teeeeeeeny bit of your power."

"Shut up!" Dark Pit hissed.

"Why would a human such as you need MY power!?"

"See these wings right here?" Icarus said, pointing to his wings, and flapping them. "They don't come cheap, and they're even more expensive to fuel-"

"Now is NOT the time!" Dark Pit said, shoving him towards the water.

"Woah-woah-woah," Icarus said, as he reached the edge of the walkway from Dark Pit's shove.

"Careful!" Poseidon said, as Ura grabbed Icarus and pulled him back to land. "Some of the creatures in there'll eat you alive!"

"What? Are they, um, angel eating monsters too?" Ignast said, looking into the water.

"Oh yes, in fact, one of them tried to kill Pit," Poseidon said. "A kraken. I found it on the surface. It apparently came from space, but it's still aquatic in nature." Dark Pit suddenly got an idea. He grinned.

"I have an idea on how to take out our Kin," Dark Pit said. "Can you call up the Kraken?"

"Yes- but I don't think that's a good idea…"

"More importantly, I do need to borrow your powers for a little something," Dark Pit said. He summoned a seemingly basic Dark Pit Staff. "Mind helping me out?"

"Oooooh I am getting into this one," Icarus said. "I've heard of that thing!" Icarus and Dark Pit grinned like maniacs. As Ignast and Haizina looked closer at the Dark Pit Staff. They're eyes widened, and grinned as well.

"Aww yeah!" Dark Pit said, letting the Great Dark Treasure surround him as he jumped into the air, and fell down, letting himself hit the water, making a huge splash, covering the entire platform.

"I'm summoning the Kraken!" Poseidon yelled telepathically, and a huge mass came up towards Dark Pit. Dark Pit smirked, and held out his hand, activating a rein of energy. Dark Pit made a spinning movement, and the Kracken swam right into it. Dark Pit activated a sword in his other hand, and stabbed it into the Kracken's head. He then mounted it, as if a horse, and turned it downwards. Icarus flew down next to him, his force-field stopping the water from getting into his lungs or wings.

"Poseidon," Dark Pit said, "can you get us near the Darkness Kin?"

"I can try!" Poseidon said. A huge door appeared beneath them, opening only to pure blackness.

"Okay…" Dark Pit said. "GO!" He whipped the reins, the Kraken roared, and it barreled through it. The door closed behind them, just as Icarus made it through.

The darkness was unsettling. The Great Dark Treasure had night vision (it is the great DARK treasure after all) but even then the darkness blocked out anything further than a few feet.

"Let me see here…" Icarus said, and pressed a few buttons on his wings. A light popped out, but failed to do much more than Dark Pit's night vision.

"Where do you think the Kin is?" Icarus asked.

"I don't know," Dark Pit said, turning left and right with the Kraken. Luckily, it seemed to be able to fly, as Dark Pit could tell there wasn't any water where he was floating.

"So, Dark Pit," Icarus asked. "Why didn't you tell me you had that mech?"

"I couldn't use it," Dark Pit said. "I managed to re-make it with Medusa's power, but I didn't have enough to power it. Dyntos must be incredibly powerful to just make it work like that."

"You bet," Icarus said, "he just gave me a tank full of the stuff. Too bad I wasted like half of it on prototypes."

"Yeah," came a booming, young voice, "that sure would be a problem

for me, wouldn't it?"

"Who's there?" Dark Pit yelled, turning the Kraken around. "The Darkness Kin?"

"Please," came the voice. A person zoomed in front of Dark Pit's screen. It was a boy, seemingly around 16-17. He had long black hair, and a mischievous grin on his face. He wore a black shirt and pants. "Call me Mrak. K?" And he disappeared.

"What the heck? Mrak! Come out and fight!" Dark Pit yelled.

"You have a Kraken dude," Mrak said. "I'm not THAT dumb!" Suddenly, Dark Pit picked up huge spikes of energy around him and Icarus, almost as if they were…

"UP!" Dark Pit yelled, and pulled up the Kraken just as a thousand spears of darkness tried to impale the two of them. Icarus just barely made it as well.

"Dark Pit!" Icarus yelled. "This guy's element is darkness! Can't you track him?" Dark Pit shook his head.

"There's too much darkness around us, I can't tell the difference between him and our surroundings!"

"Dang it! What about the Kraken?"

"What?"

"It's a hunter, right? Maybe it can follow its scent or something!"

"Um, right," Dark Pit said before turning his head to the Kraken. "Can you find that guy?" The Kraken made a sound, maybe in compliance, and shot into the dark, following something at incredible speeds. There was a BOOM and it's tentacles wrapped around something.

"EW! GROSS!" Mrak yelled. "WHY DO YOU KEEP A MONSTER LIKE THIS?! GET OFF ME!" There was another spike of energy, and a few of the Kraken's tentacles fell off, though not before its mouth reached to eat Mrak.

"Like that?" Dark Pit yelled, and the Kraken roared in approval.

"Not at all, actually!" Mrak said, and Dark Pit just barely saw him shoot off.

"I've got him Dark Pit!" Icarus yelled, circling past Dark Pit. "I have a lock on him! I should be able to track him!"

"Got it!" Dark Pit said. "Follow him!" The Kraken flew after Icarus, who changed his blades to guns and fired at the place where he knew Mrak was.

"Ow ow OWW" Mrak yelled. "That really hurt! Like, really really bad! So much I think I might just… just…!" And Dark Pit felt a spike of energy move too fast to warn Icarus about. It was a small spike, almost a bar, going right for Icarus's chest.

"WHAT!?" Icarus yelled as it hit is force field, and penetrated through it, hitting him only a little off course, in the stomach.

"Mrak!" Dark Pit yelled, forcing the Kraken towards it's prey. "You'll pay for that!"

"G-gods damn it…" Icarus said, using a make-shift com in his wings in order to speak to Dark Pit. "I think I need some assistance here…"

"Right, sorry!" Dark Pit said, preparing to turn around.

"Don't worry about it Dark Pit!" came Ignast's voice, and Dark Pit saw a spark of fire appear next to where Icarus would be. "Drink of the gods!"

"I-I don't think that works on humans, Ignast," Icarus managed.

"We need to get that bar of darkness out of him," Dark Pit said. "The only way to do that is to kill Mrak! That should lift all the darkness in the area!"

"R-right," Icarus said. "G-get him…"

"KRAKEN!" Dark Pit yelled. "FASTER! As fast as you can go!" The Kraken bellowed a war cry, and flew after Mrak, and again running into him. It wasted no time, this time grabbing him and trying to tear into his flesh with its mouth.

"I've…" Mrak said slowly, as he tried to avoid the Kraken. "Had enough… OF THIS FISH!" He held up his hand, and an energy spike in the form of an orb appeared in it. Before Dark Pit could get away, Mrak crushed it in his hand, and it exploded. Pieces of energy shredded through the Kraken's skin, and it let out an anguished cry. Dark Pit was blasted back, far enough that he was disoriented.

"You're so powerful!" Dark Pit said, barely stabilizing himself before he ran into a deep-sea cliff.

"Of course I am," Mrak said. "With all this darkness, I can do anything!"

"But that means…" Dark Pit said. "You'd be useless with light, right?"

"Oh, yes, yes, of course," Mrak said. "Unfortuenely, your name happens to be DARK Pit, right? I have a feeling summoning light isn't exactly your strong suit."

"You'd be right about that," Dark Pit managed. Suddenly, he felt something tug at his soul, something to the left, far away, but not so far he couldn't reach it. Mrak appeared in front of Dark Pit, walking up. "Enough, playing around though," Mrak said, waving his hand, and spears of energy stabbed into the Great Dark Treasure's arms, forcing it to stick to the wall.

"Now," Mrak said, putting his foot on the Great Dark Treasures windshield. "How would you like to die? Slowly, or quickly?" Dark Pit scrambled out of his sitting position in the cock pit, summoned his Darkness bow, and pointed it at Mrak's head. Mrak cocked his head to the left. "Please, you can't possible think that'll hurt me. I've told you, I can do anything so long as I have darkness, and YOU CAN'T MAKE LIGHT!"

"And I've said you're right," Dark Pit said. "I can't make light… but I'd wager he can." And with that an upperdash arm slammed into Mrak's side.

"Take that foul beast!" Pit yelled as he stopped in front of the Great Dark Treasure. "Huh? Is that Pittoo?"

"I told you to stop calling me that…" Dark Pit growled as the darkness above them parted, making way for rays of sunlight.

"Oh, right, the Kin," Pit said, turning to Mrak.

"I've got him Pit!" Ura yelled as she flew in with a Poseidon cannon and blasted Mrak with it.

"NOOO NOOO I WASN'T INFORMED THE LIGHT ANGEL WOULD BE HERE!" Mrak yelled, as he began to explode. He tried to force darkness to him- to cure him, but it couldn't get past Palutena's rays of light. "THIS ISN'T FAAAAAAAAAIR!" He exploded into a shower of darkness.

"Yeah!" Ura said, high-fiving Pit.

"Good job, Ura!" Pit said. Then he turned to Dark Pit. "What're you doing here fighting? Don't you work for a Viridi?"

"Of course not anymore," Palutena said telepathically. "Viridi sent that Kin after him to kill him for treason."

"W-what!? No way! That's not how it happened!"
"I'll let you live for now," Palutena said, "but only because you have a

human with you, which means you have done something to denounce Viridi. I've healed him, by the way."

"Thanks…" Dark Pit said. He wanted to say that he didn't need her help, but at the same time… he really did. "You have to believe me, there are more kin out there, and you're playing right into their hands with this war…"

"I doubt kin this easy to kill would be much of a threat," Palutena said. "Now come on Pit,"

"Of course!" Pit said, and a pillar of light appeared around him.

"Wait, lady Palutena!" Ura said. "C-could I come to? And help you and Pit out?"

"Of course!" Palutena said. "We'd be glad for the help! Poseidon?"

"I don't have a problem with it," Poseidon said. "If Viridi is indeed behind this, then she'll need to help the fight." A pillar of light appeared around Ura, and she and Pit disappeared at the same time. Almost immediately after, the Great Dark Treasure collapsed, turning into a basic Dark Pit staff. Haizina flew up to Dark Pit.

"Why wouldn't she listen to you?" Haizina asked.

"I don't know," Dark Pit said. "She seems convinced that Viridi has control of the kin, but how?"

"Maybe one of the kin took her souls and is controlling her?"

"No, I feel like she'd be very different if that was the case…"

"Then maybe Viridi?"

"That's possible… Maybe it's time to take a trip to Viridi and find out."

Whew, I hoped you liked it! Hopefully my writing style hasn't changed too drastically. I'd like to give a shout out to IHeartTails, who reviewed with a guest account. Your reviews really made me get back into gear and work on this! To answer your question (was it a question? I'll assume it was) I'm a guy. I'm honestly surprised I haven't mentioned that until now. Anyway, feel free to favorite, follow, and review! Those notifications really do make a difference! I hope to see you next week, if I can find the time!
