CHAPTER 3

As soon as Palutena saw that Pit was safe with the king she focused her vision upon the Rewind Spring to witness the revival of her foolish Centurions.

"Why can't you be more like your captain? Don't you have incentive to live long?" She sighed.

"We know you'll just revive us, so why bother?" replied a centurion. Giving up on the conversation completely, she refocused upon Pit. Surely seeing Pit hard at work would lift her spirits. Glancing into the blue pool, she heaved the greatest sigh of them all before yelling,

"PIT! What are you doing?" There he was passing a ball around with two young kids. Pit's warm laugher and smile dwindled into oblivion.

"I promised the kids I would play ball with them!" Pit yelled back. WHAM! Catching his off-guard, the hard ball whacked Pit in the face suddenly.

"We don't have time for that I'm afraid; go find the cause of the people's insomnia."

"Finnneeee," whined Pit. "Sorry kids, I have to go." Before Pit walked off, the little girl grabbed his wing and whispered darkly, "I can take you to the reaper."

"Really?!" Pit exclaimed. His eyes were lit with a burning fire. Finally, some action! She grabbed his hand and led Pit away from the castle. Into a deserted darker alley, the girl stopped midway.

"There's a sweet shop to the left. He usually comes here for lunch." The girl hid behind Pit before a figure emerged from the shadows; a Souflee. Grinning he aimed his bow and shot it, hearts came flying toward him.

"Is that all that was bothering you?" Pit gently smiled, turning around. The little girl blankly stared at Pit a trembling finger pointing behind him.

"Pit behind you!" Palutena warned. Spinning around, he dodged a punch to his face ever so narrowly.

"Whoa! Who are you?" Pit questioned. Adrenaline coursed through his body, enabling it to be prepared for anything, Pit loved this feeling more than anything. Every time it was refreshing, he felt- alive. The figure tore off his hood with haste to reveal it was none other than Dark Pit.

"Pitto?! What are you doing here?" Pit fell back in surprise.

"I told you not to call me that! If you have to know, I have a job to make these people restless."

"A job? From who?"

"That my dear Pit, is a secret to everyone."

"Commme on! At least give me the classic plot-reveal speech!"

"Uhg fine! You're so annoying.. I am taking the necessary steps to revive Hades!" Pit gasped in horror before Lady Palutena cut in,

"Why would you do something like that?!" Pit shook his head in disbelief.

"I've been promised something that I couldn't obtain otherwise."

"Regardless, you're going down Pitto! Prepare to meet the light!" Pit bellowed, raising his bow. The little girl ran off at those words as fast as her little barefoot feet could carry her. Pit shot his arrow at Dark Pit with much anger and speed, missing every shot.

"I would love to stay and play Pit-Stain but I have work to do." Smirking Dark Pit's wings glowed with a darkening energy.

"Come back here coward!" Pit screamed into the sky.

"We'll worry about him later Pit. Right now we need to regroup and figure out a plan." A beam of heavenly light shone down on Pit and summoned him back to the sky.
