CHAPTER 6
Once the tea had been drunk a panicked Centurion flew at Pit, out of breath.
"Underworld troops are attacking! Commander Pit we await your orders!"
Scrambling inside the temple Pit spoke into a golden microphone right by the door that cut into the wall, connection to enormous speakers outside. "Calling squad 5, 6, 7, and 8! Underworld troops have invaded! Protect the temple at all costs!" Sweat collecting on his forehead, Pit looked over his shoulder to see Palutena making quick movements toward Poseidon.
"It's not safe here! Go ensure that your temple is well guarded and we'll handle the enemies here!" Nodding, Poseidon waved his hand and with a shower of mist he vanished.
Melancholy clouds began to circulate as well as a cold breeze. Pit heard the screams and the shouts of all those who were giving their lives. He smelled the rain falling down on all of those who were shivering and giving their all to defend their home. Squeezing his bow within his hand, Pit reflected a very dark, serious set of thoughts in his blue eyes. "I must- lead them! I must protect Lady Palutena's home! MY home!" Spitting commands into the golden microphone, he used every bit of energy he had into leading the troops. "Think of what you're protecting! Think of WHO you're protecting! This is OUR land! If we don't fight back right here and now then who will?! I know you think that you can be revived but that takes effort, magic, time and resources! Take pride in your work! Take pride in your home!" Voices rang into the sky like gunshots. The most surprising part was that they were not angrily bellowing mere battle cries. They were shouting a name; Pit's name.
"PIT, PIT, PIT, PIT!" They all cried with their last breaths. Running outside into the stormy weather, Pit stood and equipped his bow. Standing up tall and with the arrow pulled back, he shot an underworld troop. Grinning foolishly Pit shot one after another, not looking back. He didn't notice Palutena fighting powerful Underworld troops behind him. Just as an arrow pierced through another mindless troop, he felt a sudden pressure on his knee and collapsed just as soon as his brain could register what had occurred.
"And here I thought I this would be difficult." Pit looked down at his knee, blood spilling out from an arrow. Descending, Dark Pit grinned with a composed air to him. Gripping Pit by his short, wet hair, he stared him dead in the eye and whispered, "You're in for a fun time, Hades has special plans for you hmhmhmhm." Looking behind him, he saw Palutena run toward him before Dark Pit advanced toward her. Crawling toward her Pit yelled out,
"Lady Palutena! I-I'm coming!" Palutena avoided Dark Pit's shots the best she could, her focus on her fallen angel. Catching her off guard, Dark Pit landed and arrow to her knee as well, paralyzing her movement. She raised her staff as she screamed,
"Teleport!"
Clutching Pit in her arms she gave a small smile before Dark Pit proceeded to knock her out cold with the back of his bow.
His eyes wide, Pit's body collapsed beside his Goddess's. Glancing up at Dark Pit, he hardly had time to avoid a striking blow to the head. Chuckling was the last thing Pit could hear before the world around him faded away.
Special plans indeed! I'm so excited to write the next chapter! Thank you all for reading and following along with the story of our little Pitty Pat!
