Chapter 1: New friends... or enemies?
This story has officially STARTED!
Even if I don't receive any reviews, I will still update.
So here goes the first chapter of Kid Icarus: A new beginning;
I've decided to put some music at the "boss battle" moments. But it won't happen now;
Disclaimer: I don't own Kid Icarus. I only own my OCs: Retuns, Luna, Nathan and Helia; I also don't own what my OCs transform into;
Also, I must thank the guest that reviewed this story. I confess that I was afraid that people wouldn't like the Xenomorph transformation, thinking it would have a lot of hate. Also, sorry if it looks rushed, I didn't want to make a two-part prologue.
*FANFIC SPOILER ALERT*
And I'll say something: that'll not be Retuns's only form, He will have 6 (you read that right, 6) Pokémon, two legendary trios to be more specific, since it's my second favorite series (only losing to Kingdom Hearts). As for Luna, she will have something with majestic wings, Nathan will have an empty shell and a Hydra-like thing, and Helia will have a certain heartless hunter and a certain legendary fire dragon.
*FANFIC SPOILER ALERT END*

Skyworld, Pit's POV
Wow, Lady Palutena today was acting so strange, like something was going to come out of nowhere and eat her. She then went to rest a little, but it didn't last long when she called me to go to her temple. It took me 2 minutes and a half to arrive there. I bowed towards her and she started to explain the situation.
"Pit, an inter-dimensional portal is forming in the Light Vs Dark arena!"
"Wait. How do you know that?"
"Portals like that start to rip the light around it. And, as the goddess of light and because it's near here, I started to feel a little tired."
"So... you're telling me to go over there and investigate it by myself, right?"
"Yes." She said like it was the easiest thing in the whole world.
"Also, I forgot to tell you something on your last adventure." WHAT?
"Please, don't tell me it's something that would make it waaaaaaaay easier."
"Urrr... I don't know if it would make it easier."
"Then, what it is?"
"I forgot to tell you that I had a 'Weapon Exchange' power. Basically, you choose 9 weapons, one of each kind, and give them to me. When you want to use another weapon, just tell me and I'll swap your weapon in use with the wanted one."
"You seriously forgot about that through a whole game?"
"Yes." Yeah. Sometimes Lady Palutena is too carefree.
"I think I won't need to use the Power of Flight, since it's near here. Right, Pit?"
"Yeah, I need to do some exercises."
"Is it to exercise or to be a little more presentable to a certain goddess of nature?" Oh no. That again.
"Errrr..." I said while blushing.
"Oh, Pit. You seriously need to learn that I just tease you for fun."
"..."
"Now, Pit, I think it's better for you to go and see that portal."
"... Okay." It'll be better this way. I thought as I exited the temple, with my Palutena Blade, in direction of the arena.
LVD Arena
As I entered the arena I could see some kind of white vortex on the center of it, and it was expanding. Why do I think that this will explode?
And I was right. It exploded right after I thought that. I could see something moving inside. Then, something sharp came from it in my direction. I blocked it with my blade. It didn't took long to see that it was a tail of some sort of black creature that had no eyes.
"Lady Palutena! Do you see THIS thing?"
I see it, but I don't believe it.
"What do you mean by that?" I asked as I dodged its claws.
I know about this thing, but I thought they were extinct.
"Then what do I do?" It was the only thing that I could say as I shot it with a charged shot.
I can only think of one thing: attack it with everything you got.
"That's what I'm already doing!" I said to her holding the creature's tail while trying to spin it. Man, this thing's heavier than it looks. I should take some lessons from Mario.
"You will not hurt them." Wait a sec... IT TALKED?
"Them? Who?"
"You will not fool me into telling you where they are."
"Come on, look at me. I'm an angel and angels don't lie... unless this angel is Pittoo."
"Like I can trust someone that's armed." It said as it tried to use its tail to take my blade.
"RETUNS, STOP!" A feminine voice screamed from behind one of the thousands of rocks. And from the rocks came three persons: a boy and two girls
"Guys, stay back!" It said as it entered in front of, what looks like, its friends.
"Retuns, we do trust him." The other boy said
"Stay ba... what?"
"He said that we trust him." The raven-starry haired girl said.
"But... okay. But only if I hold that blade of his." The creature said, holding its tail to me. I put my blade on it and it quickly wrapped itself on the blade.
I should take these guys to Lady Palutena. Maybe she can help me with this situation.
"Okay. Follow me." I said as I exited the temple with them following me.
Luna's POV
Woooooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwww. This place is so beautiful. It has a lot of floating islands, some of them with a vast fauna and flora, and a lot of temples that reminds me of ancient Greece. I looked behind me to see Retuns, who was still looking grumpy, even though I don't know if he's angry or not since he doesn't have eyes in this form, and thought of how protective he is with me, Nathan and Helia. He almost sounds more like an overprotective older brother than persons that we met. I still remember the kiss I gave him last night and it's impossible to not blush when thinking about it.
"Hey, Retuns."
"Yes?"
"About yesterday..." I said blushing.
"Oh... ermm... I think it'll be better if we don't talk about that here." He told me while I could see some faint green on his "cheeks", maybe his blood changes color depending on his form.
We walked some more until we could see a giant white temple. It had a lot of statues of a woman with long hair.
"Just wait here." The angel told us in front of a giant white door. He entered it and after some time he called us.
Palutena's throne room, Palutena's POV
Pit called for the teens, and when I've seen it I've almost fainted. I thought they were extinct. But, this one has consciousness. If it was a real one it would've killed those kids and Pit and they would've been eaten. How can this one control itself? unless...
"You... can return to your normal form, now."
"How? How do you know this is not my true form?"
"I know what kind of creature that is, and your behaviour is the complete opposite. While they kill without remorse, you fight to protect your friends."
"Hehe. Okay. You guys've convinced me that you're not bad guys. I'm sorry for attacking you. Here's your blade." It gave Pit his blade back. Then, a bright light envolved it and from it came a boy around's Pit's heavenly age.
"Now, I have some questions for you. Who are you and how did you appeared here?"
"Easy, easy. One question at a time."
"We are just four normal teens... I think."
"What do you mean you think?"
"Well... you could see that from our friend Retuns, that he's not a normal one."
"Yeah. It's not everyday you see an ancient Xenomorph."
"Xeno-what?" Everyone in the room asked.
"I'll tell later. But first, your names and your history."
"Alright. I'm Retuns, and this guy here is my twin, Nathan." The boy with green-blue eyes said.
"I'm Luna, and this is my shy twin, Helia." The girl with dark and mysteriously starry hair said.
"We appeared here using a spell that, apparently, would make us appear at the dimension we belong." The other boy, Nathan I think, said.
"Wait a sec. You mean an interdimensional spell?"
"Something like this."
"But... how? Only gods have permission to use them, unless... your parents were friends with a god, and this god sent you to another dimension, letting a dimensional spell with you when you were old enough to return."
"Maybe. But that's our most problable theory right now."
"Okay, but enough about us. Where are we and who are you?"
Pit's POV
What was that word that Lady Palutena used to describe the black creature? Xeno-something... better think about it another time.
"Well, you're in Skyworld, A.K.A Heaven, and this is the Goddess of Light herself, Palutena. And I am the captain of her army, Pit."
"We fight against the Underworld, A.K.A Hell, to maintain the Celestial Balance of things."
"Some months ago, there was a war between the Heavens, the Underworld, and the Forces of Nature. But fortunately the Underworld Leader, Hades, was destroyed, and peace was restored to the world."
"Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. You said that you're a goddess, right? And that this is something like the heavens. And that there was a war between these 3 armies. And that the leader of the Underworld was killed, so... was he a God?"
"Yes, he was a God, and he was killed."
"How was he killed if he was a God? Wouldn't this affect this Celestial Balance?" Ohhhhhhhhh... Retuns made a point that really never came to my mind.
"But it's been months since his death, and nothing happened."
"Maybe it's something weak and small right now. But, as people from my dimension say, 'a small pillar can become a mighty fortress, given it time and the necessary materials'."
"..."
"..."
"Err... Retuns, bro, I don't remember anyone saying that back at Fice."
"... Seriously? I swear I heard someone saying it somewhere. Oh, whatever, back to the point here. So, anything strange happening?" ... Wow... just, wow. These guys are really strange, but I feel that they're good people... oh, I almost forgot.
"Hey, Lady Palutena."
"Yes, Pit?"
"What was that word you used to describe Retuns's other form?"
"Oh, right. I have to tell you guys about the Xenomorphs."
Flashback - 180 years (18 heavenly years) before Kid Icarus
Those were the dark ages. I was just a Goddess Aprentice at the time. Ever since that meteorite fell on Earth with a mysterious egg-like thing, things were never the same. Humans discovered that it hatched into some scorpion-like thing that implanted itself to someone's face, named Facehugger. People tried to remove it without killing the host, but it had acid blood. The only thing they could do, was to wait. A few hours later the Facehugger detached itself from the person, dead. 12 hours later that same person started to feel pain in his stomach, and it suddenly exploded, revealing some kind of worm, which was named Chestburster. A few hours later, that same worm, which was being held captive, was, already, as big as a human, and with some kind of mouth on its tongue, if you could call that a tongue. A few days later, its head developed some kind of crown. It, also, developed some kind of sac. From that sac, came some eggs, from the eggs came Facehuggers, it was a complete massacre. The Facehuggers impregnated a huge part of the town, and, those that weren't impregnated, were killed. Those creatures impregnated even animals, like dogs, oxes and cats, changing their final appearances, there were quadruped ones and bipeds. The one with the egg sac, probably the queen, was immobilized because of the enormous sac. When the other towns came to know about it, some tried to say that studying them was the best thing to do, others said that those things, nicknamed by the people Xenomorph, were better dead. Even us, gods, feared them since if one of us got impregnated, it would be even worse. We started to argue, the Goddess of Nature of the time, Demeter, tried to use all of her reset bombs arsenal, we denied it because it would kill all of the humans. Poseidon tried to flood the areas that the Xenomorphs were in, which was huge, we denied it for the same reason as Demeter's. Then, after 30 years of suffering, someone had an idea. The God of Time and the Goddess of Memories decided to work together. While the God of Time erased the meteorite with the Egg, the Goddess of Memories kept our memories of this timeline, so we can remember how dangerous a Xenomorph can be.
End Flashback
"Wooooooooooooooow. So, I became some kind of ancient extraterrestrial creature that has acid blood, a mouth inside a mouth, and that was feared even by the gods?"
"Pretty much like it. But you're different from a normal Xenomorph. You have a human's consciousness, which is a plus, since they are really strong and fast."
"Okay. Pit. You. Me. The arena we met. Battle. Now."
"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?"
End of Chapter 1
It took me a while to do this, but I hope it's satisfatory.
The next chapter can also take a while, since I have school, english, pilates, japanese and psychologist during the week, and because it's a battle chapter. But, when classes are over, this fanfic will be updated mor frequently.
This is it... for now.
