Pen walks through the base in the underworld.
"I'm going to bed. Activating flight power multiple times can be a real energy user." He stretches while walking in his bed room. The underworld forces cannot exactly build a castle do to their short numbers.
"Okiedokey..." Thanotos says.
Palutena ponders about the new king of the underworld; the new angel.
"But how...She turned all of my angels into stone...and stripped all of hers of their wings and abandoned them for not being as strong as mines..."
The thought of her angels, the thought of her children...it always hurts her. She was their creator and supposed to be their queen and leader, but she failed to protect them. A few minutes later, a tear was about to form in her eye, but then her last child called her name.
"We need to go after him! Who knows what he can do. Please! Allow me-"
"Pit, please relax. In order to go after him, we need to know where he is. Besides, we still need to locate Viridi."
"Yeah... I suppose. Besides! Friends first, enemies later!"
"Really?" She grins. "I thought she was more than your friend, Pit"
"N-no, no, no! She is just a friend!"
"Then how come your blushing?"
"You said it yourself! I embarrass easily!"
"Eh, I guess I have a point there. In any case, we are having company from another goddess. So no eating off the floor when you drop it."
"I-I...I broken out of the habit!"
She stare at him blankly before saying, "Angels shouldn't lie, Pit..."
Viridi stare at the pot that contains the liquid form of at least a ton of human's souls with uncharacteristic silence.
"Just two more things until this is complete; the tear from light's mother and the soul of a goddess...Phosphera, are you ready to make the ultimate sacrifice?"
"W-wait! I know another goddess we can use!" She replies, backing away from the slowly approaching nature goddess wielding a powerful blade.
"Indeed she does..." Said a new person that know one knows. "It would be wise to listen to her."
"Speak. Quickly..."
So she spoke...quickly.
(BOSS BATTLE)
"Damn, damn, damn, damn, damn, DAAAMN!" I screamed as I run from this weird vortex...thing that was created by the animal control freak of the shadows. When it ended, I launch an attack of my own.
"Hold on Page!" Yelled the Sun god, "Phrryons coming to get you!"
The weird animal control freak got blasted with another one of my Laser attacks. I only have one more, so I will have to make it count. The T-rex walks up to me, growling and glaring into my eyes. I responded by merely getting into position to counter attack. He lifts his head up again, and breathes fire, sending the flames not at me, but around me. After realizing his goal he is trying to achieve and that he did achieve it, I cursed. He is trying to trap me into one little spot!
"Ah crap..." I said, looking at the walls of fire that is probably not a good idea to run through.
"Page, you have also have the sky jump ability! I activated it!" A pinkish aura glows around my feet. "Jump out of there!"
"Okay I guess. Here!" I jump a little bit but, not really using it just yet. For some strange reason, I jump with my left arm stretched upwards and it's fist pointing the same direction, and my right knee doing the same thing. "I!" jump a bit higher, no longer doing that stupid pose. "GO!" I jump as hard as I can and over the wall of flames with several front flips for style! I land on my feet followed by a roll. "Not bad. Not bad at all!"
Being too busy worshiping these helpful abilities, I failed to noticed the man coming at me. At the last second I finally see him. He thrusts his sword at my eyes and the only thing I could do is move my head downward so the attack could land on the helm. It in fact did, but the strength of the blow still hurt like hell! The attack knocks me off my feet and on the ground. Thankfully, I was able to keep a grip of my weapon. He tries to finish me, but I would not let him. After turning my body to avoid the finishing blow, I use my final lightweight power, roll my body backwards into a position where I get into a hand stand, and push off the floor.
I could try and show off, but being distracted by the roars of the T-rex, I just decided to do one somersault before landing.
It breathes fire one more time... "Perfect" I thought coldly as I shoot the last laser in its mouth as it charges up a flame. The laser knocks it out cold, surprisingly not killing it... Worst, I failed to dodge a blast of darkness coming from the control freak.
I yell in pain as I fall on one knee. He raises his sword and was about to finish me.
"Hold it right there!" Shouts a thankfully familiar voice.
"Phrryon!" I called gratefully.
"What!? Who are you!?"
"I am the equal to the fire that burns in the sun, the star that is the number one of ALL gods, the king of kings! ...Well I will be one of those things someday...but I am Phyrron: God of the Sun!"
He grimaced as he throw down his sword. I slowly get back up.
"I wont let a single treasure leave this cave! Not a bit!" He throw his hands in the air and everything starts to shake.
"W-what are you doing!?" I asked.
"I'm bringing this entire cave down, that's what I am doing!" He then release an evil manic laughter.
"Page! Grab my hand!" Phyrron calls.
I limp as fast as I could and does what he instructed. Before I knew what happened, he starts soaring through the cave with even faster speed than Sol!
"YYYYIIIIIIIIIKES!"
"I will not let you get away!" The guy is seen riding a green giant Sparrow.
"Page, I will try to move out of the way of any attacks he might have. Shoot him off with everything you got!"
I desperately aim my crossbow (Being barely to hold on to it.) and start shooting charged shots. As I do so, Phrryon avoids several shots from the Bird's beak and falling rocks from the ceiling, few have which has hit me. We dash past the hot spring and towards the entrance. Not too far away from here, I can see the exit.
I can also see the light of a green beam being charged from the beak.
"Page!" Phrryon calls out.
"I'm on it!" I said, charging the shot long enough for it to be equal to melee dash attack. I pull the trigger, unleashing a final attack that knocks my enemy off the Sparrow.
"UUUGH!" He screams for the final time, falling off the giant bird.
(BOSS BATTLE END)
The sun-god and I makes it out of the cave just when the entrance is covered with a cave in. Phyrron and falls to the ground harshly.
"OW!" I shouted. "Couldn't you have landed a bit more gently?"
"Sorry, flying at that speed underground takes a lot out of me. Pyrrhon can only unleash his full potential out in the sun!"
"Ugh..." I look up when I hear a neighing sound. "Hey Sol!" I greeted happily.
"Well, I think that did not go too bad! You're safe, Sol is not hurt, and the Helm of the God's voice is ours!"
"I do feel bad for whoever guarded that place... Hopefully he will find something better to do in the afterlife..."
To my surprise, Phrryon actually puts on a serious face. "I have a feeling this is not the last time we see him... For now though, Page, are you hungry?"
"Now that you say something, I could use a good meal."
"Good! However, there is not a town miles from here... We might have to hunt again."
I raise an eyebrow. "Even if we did not, how would you fit in with us humans...?"
He only chuckles ."I got my ways."
Shrugging, I climb on to Sol. "So after we do find something to eat, where do we go afterwards?"
"To the Babel Tower, the tilted tower that pierces the sky!"
My eyes widen. "What are we going there for!?"
"You'll see!"
Sigh...I could only hope what ever we are going there for is worth it...
I'm honestly not too confident on this chapter... However, that wont stop me from updating! :D We will continue Page's story after some more chapters focusing on Viridi and the main Protagonists of the game in sky world. :)
