Pit
"How do you stand in one place for an hour?" Palutena asked.
"SORRY, what just happened?" I looked around the room confused.
"I told you, you touched the crown passed out then woke up talking about how you needed to find Piper!" Palutena shouted.
"I remember now, so how am I going to leave?" I asked myself.
"If you wanted to leave I'm sure if Viridi and I worked together we could make a portal." Palutena said.
I jumped up and ran over to her screaming, "then what are we waiting for" into her face. Palutena pushed me on to the ground where I hit my head. (I've done that hundreds of times! Not like it did any actual damage!) I got up off the ceiling and fell upright staying towards the magical door. (Maybe not so much get I get these weird things where sometimes I don't make sense. It's like do I want chicken or turkey, then I said let's go to the zoo!)
"I can't do it right away because I'm at war with her!" Palutena said annoyed.
"What for, is she after the humans again?" I asked.
"Yes, here's how the story goes. So apparently (LIKE WHY WOULD HE DO THAT!) she saw a couple of people burning down one of her Reset Bomb forests. She had placed this one where no humans lived and was a barren wasteland. Out of anger she attacked so I jumped in to her little battle. Although once she teamed up with Medusa I didn't stand a chance. I'm losing without you Pit!" Palutena explained.
I laid my hand on her arm. "What's my first mission?" She smiled.
"They're planning to attack one of the towns I'll send you there!" Palutena ushered me out to the door.
Standing at the edge of the doorway all I could see was rubble. Just like level eighteen where when I see the temple after three years of being a ring. It was torn to shreds; all you could see was rock everywhere. "It used to be so beautiful, what happened?"
"Numerous attacks from Viridi's Forces of Nature." Palutena said.
"Well that's not my problem... For now... Do I still have a room here?" I asked.
"No... Anyway." Palutena said.
"Oh well, let's just take to the skies!" I screamed taking a few steps back then ran forward and threw myself out the door.
It was like I was skydiving down, or rather plummeting to my death. The power of flight never activated and as I fell I couldn't have ever felt as doomed as I do now. (Kind of, this has happened to me plenty of times. Hades almost killed me once... That counts, if I erase it... Stupid pen...)
"Palutena, when are you going to...?" I screamed.
"It's not working, I haven't done this in a while let me think!" Palutena yelled back.
Finally my wings sprang to life and I was back in the sky flying above the ground. I glided through the air the wind hitting my face. It was peaceful; nothing seemed to be in my way at that moment.
"I haven't done this in forever, even remembering everything the last time I flew somewhere was a year ago!" I said diving down into a cloud, (clouds are made of water you can guess what happened next!) I was soaked.
"Sorry Pit, forgot clouds were made out of water!" Palutena said.
"This isn't the first time, don't overreact. By the way, where are we going Lady Palutena?" I asked shaking my arm to try to get most of the water off.
"You'll remember once you see it! We're close so it shouldn't take long. " Palutena said.
"Pit's back?" Viridi's voice rang into the conversation. "Oh goody now I'll have someone pestering me while I kill off these other annoying humans. Now there will be two knives jabbing at my head!"
"Pit, why can't you just fly into a wall already? Palutena, do us all a favor and fly Pit up to space then drop him and we'll all watch Pit go face first into the concrete!" Medusa yelled.
"There's the love, nothing like someone yelling at you to get you pumped up for a war!" I said throwing my fist into the air.
"Looks like your stupidity is still the center of attention in your brain!" Viridi said.
"Hey I didn't say anything that stupid yet!" I yelled at her.
"Pit has a point; he really didn't say anything stupid." Palutena pointed out.
"Let's catch up, what are you two up to this time?" Viridi asked.
"We're here to beat you in this war, isn't it obvious?" I said.
"Yes it's obvious but, we're trying to have fun. Stop ruining it!" Medusa yelled.
I began to descending towards the ground and then I saw the town. It was the first town from when I last fought Medusa. The first town she had attacked before.
I landed on the grass where all I could hear was the winds shaking the grass across the horizon.
"Looks like our main guest has arrived, let's treat him with a little of a performance." I around to see Viridi had projected herself to be gigantic. Her hair would've touched the ground if it was actually her and she held a staff that would've been touched the ridge of my nose.
"That thing couldn't actually hurt me right?" I said putting my hand through her staff.
"If I wanted it to, but that's not what I'm here for. Commanders, lead the forces of Nature to victory!" Viridi yelled.
Phosphora zapped herself right in front of me, Arlon stood right behind me, and Craggalanche came barreling out of the sky. He landed like meteor to my left, the ground shook and I crashed to the ground.
"Palutena I need a weapon! I can't defend myself!" I screamed.
"Here, use this one!" Palutena said.
The First Blade appeared in front of me. I grabbed it and turned around to first face Phosphora.
"Still relying on your old little goddess huh?" Phosphora said with her hand on her hip.
"Rely on what you can trust!" I said.
"Aw, Pit, you're not stupid anymore, where's the fun in that?" Phosphora struck me with a lightning bolt and everything went fuzzy.
Phosphora was a hazy blur; I could barely see a thing. I took the risk and wacked my head as hard as I could to see what would happen... My vision returned in time for me to dodge another one of her attacks.
"You just don't give up do you?" Phosphora said.
I raised my gun at her but she just disappeared behind my back. Swinging around I shot at her and she stumbled backwards. Phosphora countered me with a lightning bolt but luckily it missed. She tried again, at that moment I shot her crucially in the stomach. Phosphora clutched her stomach like she was about to throw up.
"How low is your health bar now!" I screamed.
"Talk about breaking the forth wall, sheesh, why don't you just tell the whole world your living in a video game!" Viridi said.
I ignore her criticism and kept fighting. Soon we were both worn out and I knew with one more blow, she'd finally give up. Running straight at her I drew out my blade and hit Phosphora with a melee dash attack. (One of the many ways you can attack in Kid Icarus Uprising.) She stumbled backwards and fell to the ground.
"That was only luck you know!" Phosphora disappeared in an explosion of lightning.
Was it over, not even close? Arlon was behind me but I didn't care to look. He struck me down; I fell to my knees and went unconscious.

I woke up in the exact same place I fell down. Arlon was starring down at me, everything was hazy. He looked blurry to me, like a big black blob. (Pandora was a big blue blob!) My vision crept back and I realized I wasn't even close to where I was before, somewhere completely different yet vaguely familiar.
"Where am I?" I looked around to see a small huddle to my left.
Viridi walked over to me looking worried. "Pit, do you think you can help us?" I starred at her, Arlon, one of her commanders, just knocked me unconscious and you think there's a possibility I might help you.
"Where did you get the idea I would even possibly help you?" I said.
"Please, we really need the help!" Viridi said getting agitated.
"Next time think about asking before you kidnap me!" I got to my feet but instead fell to the ground hopelessly. "On second thought, just tell me what you need help with... I'm probably going to be here for a while."
"Perfect!" Viridi exclaimed. "I just need you to deliver a message to Medusa, she hasn't been listening lately."
"Well if that's it, then... I'm listening, I have a feeling it's a trick though." I said cautiously.
"Ok, tell Medusa that her stupid reapers are crowding my domain!" Viridi yelled. "Oh yeah, also you have been kidnapped." Viridi laughed evilly. (Like those evil people in those evil movies, what am I saying? Look up, PS spoiler alerts, Final Ghirahim battle; hopefully it will include his evil laugh as Demise is resurrected.)
I looked around at the people around me; they all had a rope in their hands. They tied me up tightly to a hook on the wall. There was no way of escaping any of this...
Din
"Please! Don't do it!" One of my victims kept yelling at me.
"Look you have two choices, join our army or watch your children get executed." I tried to reason with her. "One thing is obvious though, they'll die either way." I smiled.
"Have mercy!" I stared down at the hopelessly confused women.
"I murdered my best warrior a few hours ago; you really think I'm going to listen to a peasant?" I snapped.
I walked over to the executioner, a.k.a Daniel. I motioned with my hand in the cut the neck kind of motion. He pulled over the lever and without a shred of guilt I began laughing as loud as possible at the women who was kneeling on the ground. Tears rolling down her cheeks she was so incredibly sad. Who cares though!
"Maybe next time you'll regret that little stand up, BTW try stand up instead of standing up. It will get you know where in life." I walked away letting the heels of my shoes hit the stone hard.
"What if I helped you look for those two people?" The women said standing up with her hands bound to the rope tied to the ground. Her hair was covering her face.
"What could you possibly do to help?" I said walking back over.
"I last saw them heading towards the side path leading to my little village. I can show you the way!" The women looked me in the eye.
"What's your name?" I demanded.
"Fall, what's yours." She said.
"Din and next time don't talk back!" I shouted.
Daniel walked over. "I hate to be rude but, Fall I think I should show you the execution platform later."
"We aren't going to kill her!" I yelled.
"Before we jump to conclusions that I'm helping you, I have a price!" Fall said.
"Negotiating won't get you anywhere with her." Daniel said.
"No, no, no... I'd like to hear what she has to say." I said.
"I'll help you only if you spare my last child." Fall said.
"The people of your village only allow two children, what more could you have?" I yelled at her harshly. "Face it they're dead!"
"There's one left." Fall stood silently waiting for my answer. Nothing came, but slowly, I was about to make the biggest mistake for my plan ever. I shook her hand, but what I never asked was who they were...

"If we're going to capture Link and Piper then we need Ghirahim!" I said sitting back down on the throne.
"Extinguish yourself." Daniel wasn't even listening; he was just looking down at his clipboard.
"Why do I need to?" I questioned.
"I'm afraid you'll light my plan on fire!" Daniel yelled.
"Wait a minute; if I don't want to I don't have to light anything on fire." Daniel still had his nose in the clipboard.
"It's a safety precaution, just do it and we can get this over with to discuss our plan." Daniel explained.
"Fine..." I did as he told and instantly felt the cold air surround me. "Is this how cold is all the time?" I said hugging my arms to find warmth.
"Now that that's over with, my plan is to find Ghirahim and have him help us when we get there." Daniel said finally moving the clipboard away from his face.
"We don't need to find Ghirahim; if you call him he should just appear, usually." I said.
"Do just say his name or~" Daniel didn't get to finish because right on cue Ghirahim appeared right in front of Daniel.
Daniel shrieked and ran right over to me to hug me for protection. Although the only protection he would get from this was the protection of the fact that he'd be burnt to a crisp. Daniel didn't move.
"Daniel if you don't let go I'm going to light on fire again!" I threatened.
Daniel let go and pretended nothing had happened. "Sorry about that." Daniel stood back in shame.
Ghirahim looked at me in confusion. "What's the problem?" He said.
"You're back!" I screamed with excitement.
"I don't have time to say hi, I have bad news..." Ghirahim said.
Great, I thought, something else to bother me today. I looked over at Fall sitting in the corner, she was just sitting there. A few hours ago she had been fighting back for what seemed like her life. It was only her children though.
I kind of like this one though, ready to do anything for me. Even if Fall is against us she seems pretty fine with all this. It's as though she's playing a trick on us and waiting for it to all fall apart.
"What is it?" Daniel asked.
"You know how Pit was in Kid Icarus?" Ghirahim started. "Palutena found him first, he can remember everything."
What, I turned around and saw how everyone looked. How could Ghirahim let this happen? "Seriously?" I asked in complete shock.
"Yes, but I have good news too. He's been kidnapped by Viridi. Their land is plagued with war just as much as Hyrule." Ghirahim said.
"Our place is much crueler than theirs though." I look back at Fall again. "Right Fall."
Fall scooted out of view so Ghirahim won't see her. "Another prisoner?" Ghirahim asked.
"Fall supposed to tell us where Link and Piper are." Daniel said.
"So why don't you go get her!" Ghirahim ordered.
Daniel sprinted over to where Fall was tied up. He cut the rope apart and dragged Fall out to where Ghirahim and I were standing. "Where are they?" I asked.
"I'm not going to tell you because I know you won't take me there. I will only be a guide." Fall responded.
"Have your way but just remember this." I said. "We will leave you in the flames of whatever place they're hiding in!"
Fall nodded, her own plan was coming into play. Although it involved a great sacrifice so far. There seemed to be no way out of it.
