Well, after a long break, here's the end to A Different Kind of Angel! Hope you enjoy!
I don't own Kid Icarus or Doctor Who. I do own Kid Icarus: Uprising, though, and a Disappearing TARDIS mug.
Chapter 3
"Daleks..." Pit says, shivering. "Not a nice name."
"Well, what do you expect? They're not very nice things!" Rose exclaims.
The Doctor is thoughtful. "Phosphora, this race is notoriously hard to kill. How did you manage to beat one?"
The electric warrior replies, "I shot one of my electric beams into its eye. Fell like a wingless bird."
"Then we shoot their eyes out!" Pit cheers. "Just like in that Christmas movie!" He looks to the Time Lord. "Do you have a weapon? If you don't, I can lend you one."
The Doctor shakes his head. "I don't fight," he says firmly.
Phosphora looks surprised. "With muscles like those? What a waste!"
"Just how bad are these guys?" asks Viridi.
"Horrible. They've destroyed entire races, planets," Rose tells her. Viridi bites her lip.
Pit looks to the young goddess. "It's gonna be alright, Viridi. I promise."
"Hurry up your little chat- fest, losers, because these "daleks" are back," called Dark Pit from the window. Sure enough, two of the dreaded enemies are descending from the sky.
"All right, men, move move MOVE!" yells Pit, going into Captain mode. "Aim for the eyes! Fire at will!"
Centurions flood out of the doors and onto the battlefield. Soon, shots fill the air, volleying between both sides.
Our heroes- Pit, the Doctor, Rose, Viridi, Dark Pit, and Phosphora- all run outside too. All except the Doctor join the fray.
Rose has borrowed one of Pit's staves- a Rose Staff, obviously- and is shooting wildly, with little success in hitting anything. Phosphora flies around, zapping left and right, nailing both foe and friend. Dark Pit and Pit zip between the lasers coming from the Daleks, returning fire with arrows. Centurions weave back and forth in the sky, acting as both fighters and sacrifices to keep our main characters alive. Even Palutena gets into the action, causing beams of light to shine down from the heavens and potentially blind the bad guys.
But even with all of the Centurions and the other fighters, the Daleks refuse to be defeated. Viridi is in the middle of summoning some Forces of Nature when one of the bad guys nearly hits her. She's knocked to the ground by the blast, landing on her ankle awkwardly.
"Viridi!" Pit cries, looking to her.
She waves him away. "Keep fighting! I'm fine!" He obeys, although only after biting his lip and pausing for a moment.
The child turns back to the Daleks with a steely determination in his eyes. He lifts his bow above his head.
"Agent of evil floating before me! It's time for you to atone for your crimes," he shouts with a backwards head flick.
Palutena sighs. "Not this again..."
"I am Pit, servant to the goddess Palutena! And you! Are! History!" he finishes with a flourish.
Then he fires the most powerful shot in his career. It sends the Dalek on the left spinning out of control before bursting into flames.
The lone Dalek speaks. "Cease your fighting. We only wish to exterminate the humans," it says in its metallic voice.
"Then why are you killing us?" Phosphora asks, taking on the role of diplomat.
"You are standing in our way. You must be exterminated too."
"I fail to see how that benefits anybody," Dark Pit growls.
"And why do you want to wipe out the human race? That's supposed to be myjob," Viridi adds, attempting to stand up but failing. Pit struggles to not dash to her side.
"It's because I love humankind." The Doctor steps forward.
"The Doctor!" cries the Dalek, angry at seeing its arch enemy.
"I'm the reason they're all dead. Well, almost all. Well, some of them," he trails on. "But that's besides the point. The point is that they want to see me suffer. Or kill me. Whichever opportunity presents itself."
"It's true," offers Rose. "I've met several. Needless to say, they want to kill me too."
"Rose Tyler, the human, must be exterminated!" answers the Dalek.
"See what I mean?" she says.
The Doctor shoots everybody a look that screams "Shut up" before facing his rival once more. "You are the last survivor here. I normally hate killing, but you and your kind can NOT be left alive. Leave now, or die. And if not by them-" he motions to the army behind him- "then by me."
"Doctor..." Rose sighs. She's used to this kind of behavior from him, but she still doesn't like it.
Phosphora, still acting as the diplomat, tries to make a treaty. "How about you leave, and if you don't, then we kill you?" she grins awkwardly.
"No. It leaves, and all it'll do is find another route to the humans by sneaking past you. It has to die," the Time Lord growls. He whips out his Sonic Screwdriver too, because while it may not be useful in this particular situation, it looks cool. Rose rolls her eyes.
Palutena, however, is a peace- loving person. "Please, Doctor, let me try." He stands aside- albeit grudgingly- to let her pass. "Dalek, is there anything that we can do that would potentially satisfy you enough to not wipe out humankind?"
"Give me the girl," the Dalek says after a moment's thought.
"What?" questions the Doctor.
"The girl said she was the one who will exterminate the humans. All I desire now is to remove the threat to my mission. The rest of you mean nothing. I exterminate the girl, and I will leave so I may heal and call my brothers. Then we will decimate this planet."
Pit pales at the words. "Vi- Viridi? You want to..."
"Kill her," Dark Pit finishes.
"No!" yells both the Doctor and Palutena, each with their own reasons against the plan.
"She's a goddess! She can't die, or the entire world will fall!" cries Palutena.
"She's just a girl! No more killing people!" shouts the Doctor.
"She must be exterminated," the Dalek says firmly. "Exterminate!"
A green light is shot from its arm, aimed straight at Viridi.
"Get away from her!" screams Pit, dashing in front of the girl.
"Pit, don't! I'm expendable! You aren't!" she protests, but to no avail. She closes her eyes, waiting for the boy to die. But he doesn't.
Now, for those of you that have never played Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Pit has a mirror shield. And while he may have forgotten about it in Kid Icarus: Uprising, he remembered to bring it to this battle.
Weird.
But, anyway, Pit managed to raise his shield just before the deadly laser hit Viridi. And in doing so, he effectively volleyed the blast back at its firer. Namely, the Dalek.
I guess you could call it suicide. Kinda.
Whatever it's called, it means that the Dalek is dead. Kaput. Or, as it used to say, exterminated.
Needless to say, the Doctor isn't too pleased.
"What were you thinking, Pit? You killed it! YOU KILLED IT!" he roars.
"It was going to kill Viridi. I couldn't let that happen," the angel answers with confusion in his voice. "Besides, didn't you want to kill it too?"
The man sighs. "Not really, it was just a ploy," he admits. "Destroying an entire race... that's genocide." Of course, the Doctor has committed genocide himself before, but this fact doesn't occur to him right now.
Rose calls the Doctor back to the fiery remains of the enemy. "Look, Doctor. The creature inside... it's gone."
"So it is. Maybe it teleported its body back to safety, and left behind the shell to fool us," he hypothesizes. "Perhaps it isn't dead after all."
Palutena scans the battleground. "Anybody hurt?"
Dark Pit returns from a ground search while Phosphora lands from an aerial examination. "A few Centurions are dead. Sorry," the dark angel says somewhat nicely.
"You'll need some new windows on the north side, but otherwise, you're good," adds Phosphora.
Viridi struggles to get up off the ground, but manages to stay standing, albeit somewhat shakily. She hobbles over to the Doctor.
"Thank you," she says softly. "For fighting for my life, even though you barely know me. May you be blessed by the gods." She gets up on tippy- toes and kisses his cheek. Rose scowls, and Pit is shocked.
"Hey! What about me? I almost died trying to save you!" he screams.
Viridi laughs and limps to him. "I didn't forget you," she whispers, and gives Pit the same treatment as the Doctor. But Pit is unsatisfied and pulls her close into his arms.
"I was so afraid I wouldn't make it in time," he confesses.
The little goddess begins to cry. "Pit... never make me worry about you so much ever again..."
And yet despite this Hallmark moment, the angel still demands more. He pushes away from Viridi only to grab her face and kiss her full on the lips. She doesn't protest, only wraps her arms around his waist.
"Wait, what just happened?" asks the Doctor.
Palutena giggles. "They're dating. Didn't you notice?"
Rose shakes her head. "No. They were fighting so much I thought they were like the Doctor and the Daleks."
Pit pulls away from his girlfriend carefully. He walks over to the Doctor and sticks out his hand. "Thank you. Without you, I would have been finished."
The Doctor returns the handshake. "It was my pleasure. Glad to have met you, Pit, Palutena. But we really must be off."
Pit's wings droop. "Really?"
Rose ruffles his hair. "We'll visit again, if I have any say in it," she tells him.
And together the Brit and the alien stroll hand- in- hand towards the TARDIS, leaving our heavenly friends behind. But both groups knew that while they would never forget this adventure...
… this was sure one crazy idea for a crossover.
Yay for breaking the fourth wall! And completing stories!
So, did ya like it? Didya? DIDYA? *gets all up in your face* Why don't you tell me in a review? Until then, bai!
