ALTERNATE ENDING
The blazing light reduced to reveal Dark Pit clutching his mouth tightly while sweat slipped down his temples furiously.
"P-Pit.. Did I just finish.. him? Did I just fire at the Gods?!" Tightly shutting his garnet eyes, gleaming tears ran down his colorless cheeks.
"Y-you idot.." Magus's spirit choked. "You just killed the Gods.. I- I didn't jerk Daybreak in time.." Their bodies mutilated, the Gods lay their dead, all hope of defeating Mesperyian gone. A golden-haired Mesperyian emerged from the spring, holding Pit down under the water.
"H-he's alive! Pit! Noo!" Jumping out of the Great Sacred Treasure, Dark Pit immediately fell on the platform, limp. "W-what's happening?" Weakness overtaking him, Magnus looked helplessly at Dark Pit. Pit's body slowly prematuring, Dark Pit had finally understood. While Pit's time was being reversed, so was his life. His body slowly fading away he reached up toward the sky. "We were so close.. Victory was within our grasp.. Magnus, I'm sorry that I couldn't live the life you saved.."His ruby eyes closed, tearing streamed down his face before Dark Pit faded into the nothingness. Mesperyian placed Pit out of the spring, his body was very small and he was what appeared to be around 5 years of age.
"Hmhmh I'm so glad you pushed us into that spring Pitty-Pat! If it weren't for you we would be been blown away! The Gods have been defeated and I will finally resurrect my father! It seems that the story has been written in my favor now!" Glancing at her hair, she dropped Pit out of the spring, mortified. "What the hell, why is my body.." Magnus held himself tightly, knowing full well of his utter helplessness. "No matter.. Father! Hear my words! I offer these bodies! Humbly except them and continue your reign of terror!" The bodies ascending, they all combined and morphed into Hades' body.
"Hmhmhm, hello 'o daughter of mine! What's up, what's new?" Looking down at Pit he kneeled beside him. "What a better way to celebrate my return then by making myself a new servant!" Shredding off Pit's delicate wings he tossed them aside before chaining Pit's wrists together. "You will serve us for all of eternity." Snapping his neck to the side his grabbed the spirit of Magnus. "You certainly look tasty and I am quite hungry after that revival!" Magnus struggled to slip out of his clutches but was eventually slurped up.
"U-um father? May I ask what we do now?" Mesperyian slowly spoke, kneeling before him.
"Simple, we overtake Skyworld, the sea, and we now have control of the Earth! All of the Gods that opposed us are now defeated and we are free to do as we please." Patting her head he continued, "You have done well." Young Pit stirred in his sleep before screaming out in agony.
"M-my wings! Palutena?! PALUTENA?!" Widely looking about Pit witnessed in horror the beginning of an age of hate and chaos.
"Afraid they're gone little angel! Or I should say- fallen angel!" Mesperyian laughed.
"I will never help you! I would rather die than serve you!" Pit spat, despite feeling utterly finished.
"Then I will make you. Because you aren't a God I can manipulate you to my will!" Hades gripped Pit's little skull while his cobalt eyes began to fill with darkness. Pit wriggled and yelled out in rejection, his body becoming corrupt with evil. Pit thought back on his precious Palutena. His hope, she who he devoted his life to was now lost forever. "Don't fight it Pit! Let hope slip away!" Viridi, Zeus, Poseidon, Dark Pit, were all dead along with his faith. Pit closed his eyes, not a single person to believe in, not a single hope remained within him. His mouth, gaping open, Hades finally released him. Pit's young five-year-old body was darkened by corruption while his eyes were illuminated with a piercing red determination. "There, isn't that better? Oh can't forget one more thing!" Hades remarked. Waving his darkened hand Pit sprouted demonic wings while his ears became pointed. "Now not only are you a fallen angel but you are also my demon!" Mesperyian kneeled down to the chained fallen angel and licked along his face, Pit not reacting.
"I rather like him like this! Say daddy? Can I keep him in my room?"
"Sure buttercup! Consider him my gift to you for reviving me!" Hades grinned darkly. "Now to take on the world! I can feel all of the Gods' powers within me!" Laughing loudly, Hades raised his hands into the sky, shrouding the world in chaos.
