CHAPTER 4

Devine light shone before Palutena to reveal Pit with a worried expression upon his face.

"What are we going to do?! We can't let Hades be revived!" Pit paced in a circular motion before Palutena placed a hand upon him and looked at him warmly.

"Don't worry about it. Let's contact Viridi and bring her up to speed. We are going to need all the help we can get if we're going to stop Pitto." Heaving a great sigh, Pit's wings fell, mirroring did his visage. Shutting his eyes tightly, he stormed off to the training room, infuriated.

Virdi? It's me Palutena. I'm afraid we have a bit of a situation..

What is it? Having trouble with Pitty Pat? You could hear the sneer within her voice.

No, I'm afraid Pitto is trying to revive Hades, or at least give him a new body.

No way! After what he did to my forces of nature!? He doesn't even deserve a body!

Will you help us?

I'm on my way, we can talk more in person. In person? 'Fantasic' thought Lady Palutena. Now I must ensure that the temple is clean and prepared.

Loud smacks bounced off the small walls of the training room, echoing in Pit's ears. Consecutive blows were given swiftly to the target. Throwing aside the bow, Pit equipped an Atlas Club and continued to decrease the condition of the target. Pit's sky-blue eyes were focused and steady with a wild fire inside of them. His breathing became shallow and sweat began to drip down his forehead. Discarding the club, Pit equipped Arlon orbiters, lifting his wings high, using them to guide the weapon. Catching his breath, he did not break contact with the target.

"Pitto…Why… If you're a reflection of me then why.." Switching to Brawler Claws Pit hit the dummy again and again until he finally collapsed on the floor beside it. "I'm not like him…" Facing the clear roof, toward the clouded sky, Pit closed his eyes recalling all of his encounters with Dark Pit. "What could he want so badly that he would revive Hades to do it for?"

"Thank you for coming Virdi." Sitting down on a patio atop a platform in the sky Palutena gestured for Virdi to sit as well. Palutena was wearing an orange sun dress that crossed in the back and a straw hat. Virdi wore an earthy green strapless dress that went down to her knees as well as her hair down with flowers braided in some strands.

"Yeah, yeah. Let's get down to business. So Hades is trying to find a new body right? All we need to do is seal his soul."

"Indeed but how do we go about that?" Palutena bit her lip in distress, crossing her legs.

"If we can somehow attach his soul to something then perhaps we can neutralize it. We would need something so strong it can hold a god though." Virdi placed her head upon her hand thinking very hard. In a flash a centurion brought about a pot of tea as well as two cups. The spring breeze rustled through the Goddesses' beautifully long hair as if to comfort the their agitated minds.

"I don't think anything material will do. I know for a fact that we can never truly destroy Hades, at least not without destroying the opposing energy as well. There are two sides of the same coin after all." Sipping her hot teat slowly, Palutena sighed heavily. The pair of them stayed silent for a very long time, each of their minds racing along. Pit stood across the landing, fresh out of the hot spring. His laurel crown and usual attar was replaced with black shorts and a black tank top.

"Hey, what did I miss?" Pit smiled warmly, slightly in a better mood.

"We were just discussing what we were going to do about Hades," Lady Palutena answered sweetly.

"I see," Pit responded. After standing awkwardly for about a minute Pit snapped his fingers and launched toward the table. "What if you sealed his soul in the underworld? We can use Zeus, Poseidon and you Lady Palutena! We can create a barrier that would trap his soul in the Underworld!"

"Hm, not a bad idea kid," Virdi remarked.

"I can't see a problem with it I suppose..If he was trapped there I can't see him doing much damage from afar."

"We should try it! There's no way he can get past a seal with three gods- er.. Two Gods and a Goddess against him!" Pit exclaimed.

"And what am I? A plate of cheese?" Viridi angrily responded, crossing her arms.

"Y-You can help too Viridi…" Pit nervously added.

"Alright then! Let's do this! I will plan a meeting with Poseidon for tomorrow," Palutena explained, sipping the last of her tea. "For now, let's all rest, it's been a big day for all of us. Especially you Pit, you may have to face Pittoo once more." Casting his looks downward, Pit replied quietly,

"Yeah, you're right Lady Palutena."

"We're having takeout for dinner, care to join us Virdi?" Palutena voiced.

"And eat oily meat? I'll pass, unless you order something with veggies."

"Of course," She smiled. The sun had set over the horizon as the moon shone brightly in the sky outstanding all the glittery stars sprinkled around it.
