The plant monsters get closer to me as Pyrrhon watches from the sky. I may have been crazy, but I could have sworn he had popcorn. There are about thirty enemies in the first wave in a line formation.
"Uh…Pyrrhon, how do I activate the powers you lent me? You say just call you, but…what afterwards?"
"Just hold on! …There, I have equipped the mega laser to that crossbow! Just fire it when you're ready!"
I held out my crossbow, aimed it carefully, and shot it. After I pulled the trigger, a red Laser shot out and actually destroyed most of the assaulters.
"Nice! This will come in use big time!" I shout out.
"Glad you like it, but hurry up and destroy these things! Now that you fired the laser, the angels will come looking for the source of it, which in this case is you."
"Okay!"
I figured, when I was fighting earlier, the only reason I was losing because of my limited stamina. If I have a power called Tirelessness, then it is pretty obvious that I can continue to move without getting tired, but since I am nice and refreshed (well…besides my still aching body), I can fight for a while without using it yet.
"Hey, wear this cloak!" Pyrrhon said as he threw a brown, hooded sweater at me.
"Why, does it have any special powers as well?"
"…no, but it should be able to hide you face from the angels that is actually coming now" Pyrrhon said as he pointed towards two people sprinting to the action. (AKA a bunch of monsters that is coming after me)
"They WILL recognize my weapons though…"
"That's why I am giving you this! It may not be as powerful as you crossbow's slashes, but it is made by some of the finest forgers in the Realm of the Gods!" he explain proudly as he throw me a shield with a blade on it.
"Dyntos?" I asked
"No, any weapon made by him is an Angelic weapon."
…So THAT'S where they come from!
"But it is said to be made from his student, Dyntos actually gave it to me saying 'the next person you will give this two will be a loved one of my student, I just know it!'"
"I guess this will have to do then!" I said as I put on the cloak, pulled the hood on my head, and run towards the Monsters. I did wondered what that meant though, I doubt it is anyone in my little village….is it?
When I got close enough, I stab an acorn monster with the blade of my shield by doing a massive shield bash. He disappeared.
"I thought this thing was not as strong as my crossbow." I said a little happy at what just happened.
"I said its SLASHES was not as strong, you just melee dashed attacked him, making that attack probably stronger than your crossbow!"
"Well lucky me, lucky me! I got my one hit kill attack now!"
"And remember, those kicks of yours are extremely powerful as well, do not hesitate to play dirty! This is the battlefield, not some Dojo!"
"hehehe…gotch'a!" I said coldly as I slashed then stabbed another monster.
"Hey you!" I gasped as I realized that was the one named Dark Pit's voice.
I bowed my head a little so they would not see my face.
"Who are you? How are you strong enough to survive as long as you did?" The person I'm assuming to be Pit said.
I was trained by my father who was strong enough to knock over a tree with his bare hands with one punch, but still, do most gods and angels really look at us as weak like this!
"Listen, whoever you are, why do you find it so unlikely for us to survive a battle with monsters such as these? Do yourself a favor and stop underestimating me and most of the other humans!" I said angrily almost forgetting to keep my face hidden and was killing more monsters.
"Where did that laser come from!?" Dark Pit asked me as he splits his bow and starts slashing away monsters in close range. (I admit I was impressed.)
I gulped at the question hoping I am REALLY good at lying….
"Look, I just came from…(Cannot tell them I escaped a ruined village because then Pit will put two and two together and blow my cover…then again, I always did hear angels of light are not that bright [pun not intended] …NO! I can't risk being discovered!) a far, far away village. I was exploring the forest until I got lost."
Another Plant Monster with blades as his arms came at me. When he tried to slash me with both of his arms in an X direction, I blocked both of them with my shield and then power kicked him.
"Palutena says you're lying." Pit said loudly as he shoots down enemies out of the sky while his Dark twin covers him from close range attackers.
"And how can your imaginary friend tell!?" I said as I quickly leaned my body to the right to avoid bullet seeds.
"Gasp!* She is NOT imaginary!" Pit responded rather angrily as he and Dark Pit switches roles.
"Fine whatever, answer my question and I'll answer yours!"I said as I saw another big Rock guy.
"She says she can read the minds of anyone she looks at." He said as Dark Pit kicks a bomb with wheels and a face on it back to his allies. It explodes and destroys most of them.
"She can see me?" I asked as the walking rock tries to body slam me. This time, I remembered my boots, so I spun around and kick it. The rock shatters to pieces…I'm so proud of myself! *sniff
"Yes, from her all seeing eye of Palutena..." Pit said like he did not want to say what he just said.
"If that's so then how come she cannot see my face before I had this cloak on?"
Pit was scared to answer and Dark Pit face palmed "…Her…slightly botched laser eye surgery…" Dark Pit said.
"Huh...now I'm even MORE confused!"
"Then she achieved her ultimate goal of trying to mess with you…" Pit explained while sweat dropping and making a sheepish smile.
"This conversation is getting sloppy really quickly, pun attended, not ashamed of anything. Let's just finish these guys off. Then we could talk."
It wasn't until about 13 seconds later when Pit decided to chuckle at what I just said…*sigh
I realized Pyrrhon was gone, good; it would defiantly raise their annoying amount of questions if they saw that I am with him. Something told me he knows the same thing. Anyway, bowing my head is not helping, so I got a piece of cloth out of my left pocket and used it as a mask.
As enemy after enemy comes for a piece of us, I'm getting more and more tired.
Dark Pit realized I started to pant heavily and asked "Hmph…getting tired eh?"
"No! ...okay yeah…" I said as I rested on one knee.
"Don't give up now, we are close to victory!" Pit said excitedly.
Just then he saw something and says "Everyone move now!"
Dark Pit and Pit immediately jumped out of the way as I had to take time to get up.
"Lady Palutena!" Pit screamed. When he did that, he blasts in a direction like a missile! He is coming straight towards me! He harshly head butts me in the stomach me out of the way of a random boulder falling from the sky. He slowly gets up and I slowly do the same.
"Okay…that hurt, but thanks anyway…" I said as I rub my stomach.
"Sure…no problem…"
The boulder then had glowing red eyes before rolling over and standing up.
…
…
…
Great! Not another of these guys…!
(BOSS BATTLE!)
Pit and Dark Pit looked confident as I still looked tired. As if things were not as bad enough, the damn thing did the same thing Pit did, but this time, it EXPLODED when it landed. I barley dodged it. When I landed on my face from diving, I got back up and asked "what's with that thing!?"
"That is Viridi's General, the Cragalanche, but I thought I destroyed it already…" Pit said as attacks it.
The Rock Monster got back up and was ready for more action.
"Maybe she has two" I suggested as knock it back down by shield bashing it.
"I doubt it; she wouldn't just replace her 'children' like that" Dark Pit said as he shot a storm of arrows at it.
When the smoke clears, it reveals the fact that it was protecting itself summoning a wall of rocks. The Rock monster threw his arms out. When he did all of the rocks around got sent flying directly at us. Pit and Dark Pit spun around while ducking to avoid the rocks. I just kicked the one that was heading for me.
"Well maybe she didn't replace the first one; maybe she just decided it would be better for her to have two." I said as it now gathers rocks to create a longer arm which looks like a whip.
"Can we all stop saying 'maybe'?" Dark Pit asked, irritated.
When the Rock Monster swung, we all ducked avoiding the first swing and jumped to avoid the second one. I ran up to it, jumped and pushed my right foot right on his face, knocking him down once more. I jumped off his face and both Dark Pit and Pit rushes up to him, and cut off his legs before he hits the ground. They afterwards jumped backwards and finished him off with ranged attacks.
It exploded into pieces.
"Well, that was quick for a boss battle…" Dark Pit explained
"Perhaps it just cannot stand up to the might of two angels and…a human…"
(End Scene)
"I don't get it…" Dark Pit said seriously.
Wonder what he means…
"She is much more violent than usual, I wonder what happened…" Pit asked in concern.
"Can't you speak to her as well?" I asked, knowing who they are talking about.
"No…she blocked communications…" Pit said sadly
"You say as though you miss her." I pointed out. I must have started something because he started to blush. "er…never mind." I finished, not wanting to hear the fact that he…wow, just… wow…
"The force I felt!" Dark Pit exclaimed as he rushes over to a blackish purple blob that took the Rock Monster's place.
"What is that thing?" Pit asks as I start to sneak away. "Oh, hi Lady Palutena, where have you been?
She must have told him that I was trying to sneak away, because he suddenly turns and looks in my direction. "Hey!"
Crap, crap, crap, crap, crap, crap, crap!
Dark Pit was still examining the Blob, I was running for dear life, and Pit was chasing after me.
"Wait! I we have questions you need to answer! Stop running!" He said as he quickly caught up to me (Damn he is fast!)
I then saw a cliff that had a slope at the bottom. If done correctly, I can slide down it without hurting myself.
I jumped off the cliff and the angel jumps after me, trying to grab my hood. He failed miserably. Not only he missed my hood, but because he was too busy reaching for it, he landed face first on the slop of the bottom of the cliff. I slide down without hurting myself and start running again as he slowly gets back up.
"Lady Palutena, please help me!" When he said that, his wings started to glow blue.
He soared (literally) directly at me. I knew just what to do. I stop in front of a rock wall, and waited. When he got close enough, I moved out of the way at the last second. He crashes into the wall and cause boulders to fall on him. I was a bit worried, but then I saw movement in the pile and shortly afterwards, his head and hands.
He groans in pain as I walk over to him saying "see ya!" I turned around and ran out of sight.
