"Little Mac! LITTLE MAC!" Samus screamed out to him, but there was no answer. Little Mac was standing on top of a platform, facing away from Samus. She continued to run towards him , only to realize that he was moving farther and farther away from her. Samus stopped running for a second and took a quick glance at her surroundings which looked quite familiar to her. Her dreadful past had soon caught up to her after she finally knew where she was at. "No it can't be! This is the- GEOTHERMAL POWER PLANT!" Samus screamed. A familiar, screeching roar had echoed in the whole Power Plant which made Samus put her attention on Little Mac again. He slowly turned around to face her who had a frightened look on his face, and she knew why.
"Why didn't you forgive me?" Little Mac asked her. Samus being dumbfounded, couldn't even believe her ears. The rushing adrenaline had made her heart drop to her stomach.
"If you forgave me, we would never be in this mess!" Little Mac screamed. Now Samus knew what was going on; potion we what he was referring to soon felt the guilt rushing in. It was all her fault that they were in this nightmarish hellhole, and stubbornness to forgive others did nothing but drag Little Mac down with her. To make matters worse, Ridley had rose from the lava and snatched Little Mac with his large claws. Samus did nothing but sat there in awe as Ridley swung him like a ragdoll in midair.
"Ahhhh! Samus help me!" Little Mac begged. Despite what was going on, Samus just continued to stand there. Her mind couldn't comprehend over the situation and she too scared to move her body. In fact, she had no control over her body at all.
Little Mac continued to scream in terror as he struggled to break free from his claws. Finally gaining control over herself, Samus prepared to fire a normal missile at Ridley in hopes of him letting go of Mac and getting his attention. She knew if she used a super missile, it would not only damage Ridley, but injure Little Mac as well. She pulled her internal trigger and aimed carefully so that she would not miss him. She pressed hard on the trigger, but nothing came out of her arm cannon.
"What? What's going on?" Samus said. As a result of the fear that she was experiencing, the Power Suit slowly begans to dematerialize, stripping her from her defense. Samus began to panic. The Power Suit was beginning to fail, and she still didn't save Little Mac. Before she could do anything else, Ridley had hardened his skin and dived into the lava with Little Mac in his hand.
"Noooooo!" Samus screamed. Samus stood there for a moment, as she couldn't come to grips to what she just witnessed. Knowing she could no longer do anything to help Little Mac, she runs back to the entrance of the Geothermal Power Plant. As she was about to run out of the exit, the hatch had turned red, signaling that it was locked. Samus stopped running and looked at the red hatch. She completely ran out of options at the moment, and decided to turn back around, only to run into Ike. Samus fell down and looked up at him, who had a disappointing look on his face.
"Aren't we friends?" Ike asked her. Samus was once again dumbfounded by the sudden change of events. Before she could say anything, Ridley appeared from the lava again and grabbed Samus from behind. Samus shrieked in fear as she felt several of her bones snap.
Ridley flapped his wings and began to take flight in the air. "Ike, help!" Samus screamed at Ike, but he didn't move from his spot; he only smiled at her, as if he was proud of her demise. Ridley then hardened his skin again and dived into the lava along with Samus.
Samus's eyes snapped as she quickly rose up from her covers. She rubbed her forehead and felt her heart was pounding. She had been reliving a nightmare that she couldn't seem to get over. As a bounty hunter, it was common for her to experience nightmares. The creatures and the hideous monsters that she faces on her missions can be haunting. Knowing Samus, she was used to the nightmares, so she would sometimes sleep through them, no matter how frightening they were. But this nightmare was different from the others. This one had made her feel...afraid.
She never felt this afraid since the time she was confronted by Ridley on the Bottle Ship. She hated the way she acted when he returned. She felt so weak and helpless in front of long-standing nemesis. But on top of everything, she began to think about what she experienced. Why did she have dream about Little Mac & Ike? What did they have anything to do with one of her hellish nightmares? Then she finally came to the conclusion: she did have an argument with Ike, so that made a bit sense .
But about Little Mac, it didn't make sense at all. Yesterday, she overheard his conversation in the Training Room, and couldn't help but feel guilty for the way she treated him. She wasn't a person to give sympathy for people who treated her in a negative way. He did uppercut Samus after all. The problem with Samus is that she has trouble letting go of the past and moving on, but it was so hard for her to do so because she's been through so much. It's difficult for Samus to get over a traumatic experience, especially if it involves the death of one's parent. Samus ran her fingers through her silky blonde hair and at the clock on her night stand; It read 4:40 a.m. It was still too early to get ready for the tournament, but Samus was over thinking at the moment and she needed to do something that would distract her from her thoughts. Samus sighed to herself as she grabbed her bath towel, walked into her bathroom, and closed the door.
"Dark Pit! Dark Pit get down here! Palutena screamed in the kitchen. One of the soldiers quickly ran into the kitchen to her aid.
"What is it M'lady?" the soldier asked. Palutena turned around to see the soldier kneeling down before her. The soldier looked up to see that she was carrying four pancakes in one hand, and a pink box in another.
"Ah you! Go find Dark Pit and tell him to come here!" Palutena commanded.
" Yes M'lady!" the soldier screamed as he ran into the hallway to find Dark Pit. He ran down the long hallway that had two large waterfalls pouring out golden water on the sides until he finally arrived at Dark Pit's room. He knocked on the door and waited for Dark Pit to open it. There was no answer. The soldier gulped in fear. He knew Dark Pit was probably sleeping, and he knew that he was going to feel his wrath soon for disrupting his peace . But if he had to chose who he wanted to be yelled at, he would take Dark Pit in a heartbeat. As kind and gentle as Palutena was, the soldiers that were under her command knew that she had dark little soldier knocked on the door again, but still did not receive an answer. "Dark Mas-"
Suddenly, the door had swung open to reveal Dark Pit, who was still in his pajamas. "What do you want? I thought I told you to never bother me if I'm sleeping," Dark Pit asked coldly.
"Da-Dark Master, Lady Palutena needs your assistance in the kitchen, the soldier said.
"Uhghhh. What does she want now?" Dark Pit said. As he rudely pushed the small soldier beside, he made his way to the kitchen.
.
.
"There! That she be enough!" Palutena said as she sprinkled a dash of cinnamon on the pancakes. She then heard footsteps in the hallway and turned to see Dark Pit in the doorway. "Oh there you are! I need you to do something for me," Palutena said.
"What do you want lady?" Dark Pit rudely said. Palutena glared at him, but ignored his ignorance. She knew he was the only person who was capable of doing the task she had in store for him.
"I need you to deliver these pancakes to Pit. He's having a tournament today, so I want him to have his energy before he fights," Palutena said. Dark Pit slapped his forehead in frustration and moaned loudly.
"Why do you need me to do something for goody-two shoes Pit?" Dark Pit asked.
"Because he's your brother. Family sticks together through thick and thin, plus I have a meeting with the underworld army about my cooperation with Smash Brothers," Palutena said as she placed the pancakes and a small bottle in a pink box and wrapped it up with a few strings.
"We aren't brothers. We are eternal rivals," Dark Pit said. Palutena rolled her eyes at Dark Pit's dramatic behavior.
"Look Pittoo. I'm letting you stay here since you don't have a home. The least thing you could do is be helpful and deliver these pancakes, Palutena said.
"Don't call me that. And where do I deliver these stupid pancakes?" Dark Pit said. Palutena whirled her blue staff in the air as a strange bright of light struck the ground. Suddenly, a black hole appeared on the ground.
"Alright, there's your exit," Palutena said as she threw the pink box at Dark Pit, "Oh, and when you find Pit's room, make sure you pour that rejuvenation potion on the pancakes so they can be fresh for Pit to eat," Palutena said. Dark Pit looked down at the ground and looked up at Palutena with a dumb look on his face.
"You expect me to just jump in there and expect everything to be okay? What if I break my neck?" Dark Pit said. Palutena nodded, answering his question, "There's no way I'm going, plus I'm still in my pajamas," Dark Pit said. Palutena sighed to herself and teleported behind Dark Pit. She gently pushed him into the black hole.
"What the-Ahhhhh!" Dark Pit screamed.
"Goodbye Pittoo!" Palutena waved.
"Don't call me that!" Dark Pit screamed as the black hole completely closed up, leaving Palutena alone in the kitchen once again.
"Whew! Now that I got him out of here, I can finally take my bubble bath!" Palutena said as she raced to the bathhouse.
Dark Pit finally came out of the black hole and fell into the pool of the Smash backyard. Luckily, the pink box filled with pancakes landed on the grass beside the pool with no harm done to them. "Arghhh, that woman. I'll get her for this," Dark Pit said. He climbed out of the pool and grabbed the pancakes. He started to look around at his surroundings and noticed a huge mountain behind him. He turned around to see two doors that led to the Recreational Center. Dark Pit quickly ran to doors and tried to open them, but were unfortunately locked. "Great. How do I get in now?" Dark Pit said to himself. He took a step back and looked the windows. There were at least 200 of them. Some of them had strange symbols on the panels. One of the symbols had a sharp looking "S" with a circle behind it, while another symbol was shaped like mushroom with eyes. Dark Pit looked at a familiar symbol: the Kid Icarus symbol. He knew that was Pit's room. He spread his wings and flew towards the window.
"Ahhhhh! That was good bath! Now it's time to work on my dinner!" Palutena said to herself. She walked into the kitchen and grabbed a pot of turnips. While looking in her seasoning cabinet, she noticed a familiar bottle to her, "What? What's the rejuvenation potion doing in here? And where's my love potion?" Palutena said to herself.
*Meanwhile*
Dark Pit climbed in the window and shut it behind him as he landed softly on the wooden floor below him. Luckily for him the window was unlocked, so he didn't have any problem getting in. He looked around the dark room and saw Pit sleeping peacefully, but snoring loudly on his bed.
"And she thinks I snore like a pig," Dark Pit said to himself. He rolled his eyes and placed the pink box on the night stand. He opened it and saw the small bottle Palutena told him about. He looked at the front of it and noticed it said "love" on it. He wondered what it meant by that, and decided to drink the potion. He gagged at terrible and then poured the rest on the pancakes. After
"Hmm. Well I am in his room. I guess I could stay and have some fun," he said to himself. He looked inside one of the drawers and picked up a book that was titled "Pit's Diary."
"He has a diary? How feminine!" Dark Pit snickered. He opened it and skipped a few pages.

Dear Diary,
Today was a great victory for me. I finally defeated my rival from Hyrule. No one can stand against the Underworld Army! After my fight, I quickly climbed up the mountain to view the sunset. I cried when the sun finally disappeared. When it finally disappeared I realized I was really dirty from my fight with the Hyrule warrior, so I decided to go take a shower. I hate changing in the locker rooms. The other male fighters make fun of my tighty whities."
Dark Pit opened up his underwear drawer and started to snicker. He picked up a pair of tighty whities and slowly put them over his pajama pants.
"Wow. So that's why he calls them tighty whities," Dark Pit said to himself. Suddenly, Dark Pit heard a small murmur from Pit's bed and stopped moving.
"I won't let you get away Medusa," Pit murmured to himself. Dark Pit slowly tip-toed to the window, "I WON'T LET YOU GET AWAY MEDUSA!" Pit screamed. Pit jumped out of his bed and punched Dark Pit in face. He fell down and hit his head on the bedroom door.
"Ow!" Dark Pit screamed. Pit finally awoke from his dream and looked at Dark Pit.
"Dark Pit? What are you doing here? AND WHY ARE YOU IN MY UNDERWEAR!" Pit screamed. Dark Pit quickly got up and looked at Pit. It was an awkward silence between the both of them. Pittoo nervously looked at Pit, who was still waiting for an answer.
"Uhhhhhhh," was all Pittoo could say. Out of nowhere Dark Pit spreaded his wings and flew out of the window. The sudden force knocked Pit back on his bed, "oof!" Pit grunted. He quickly got back up and looked out his shattered window.
"HEY! COME BACK HERE WITH MY UNDERWEAR!" Pit screamed out the window. Pit then looked down and saw his favorite dish, "Oh PANCAKES!" Pit cheered as he began eating them, completely forgetting about his broken window.
Chapter 4 has finally been finished! Sorry I haven't been online for awhile. School started for me 2 weeks ago and it has been a handful. I also don't have any Internet so please be patient with me. [This chapter was edited on 12/29/15] (Please review)
