Alrighty, here is chapter 2 of winter troubles. As pit learns of winter here, he remembers something long forgotten in the space of time. Lol again I do not own the game or any of the recognizable known characters. Lieutenant Mein and Jakiren will make another appearance, but again they are made up and don't steal them, if you want to borrow them, ask me and ill consider.. So here it is.
Chapter 2: Past
"Snow…" he said simply looking back outside as some of the younger smashers were playing around throwing snowballs at each other.
"How do you not know of it? Don't you have to be alive for you to become an angel?" Zelda asked still slightly amused but confused as well.
"That may be true Zelda, but please bear in mind my life was spent back when Ancient Greece was bustling, not just a bunch of columns and museums. And yes I know some people live there still, but I mean back when it was in itself a great nation, not one I may like to go back to but, it had its praises." he stopped as images suddenly passed before his eyes, dirt roads, stone buildings and temples, the sound of hooves, shouting everywhere mixed with the noise of many different animals. Snapping back to his senses the images vanished leaving him slightly confused, blinking suddenly he turned back to Zelda.
"Once I became an angel I spent my time either up in sky world, a place of never ending light, warmth, and beauty, or fighting demons in the underworld, a dark, cold, ugly place where only cold unfeeling light reigned. Not a fun place to be Zelda. Now if you excuse me I have something I must attend to." he said as he grabbed out his communicator from his toga and repeated the spell. Zelda watched fascinated as both screens went white then the whiteness disappeared replaced with a golden warm light shining behind a beautiful red eyed and golden winged Chinese angel, pure gold hair going down to their shoulders.
"Captain Pit, you haven't allowed me much time from our last conversation but nothing has come up about any activity from the underworld sir." he said taking Zelda by surprise that it was a male.
"Lieutenant Mein, I want you to dismiss the order I have issued earlier. There is no cause for any alarm or alert, understood lieutenant?" Pit ordered as the angel bowed his head
"Understood Captain…Captain, if it is not out of turn to speak, we are being watched sir, look behind you." he said surprised as he noticed Zelda was behind Pit looking over his shoulder. Looking back slightly he quickly switched his gaze back to the screen.
"You need not worry Lieutenant, she is an ally. Princess Zelda, successor to the Hylian throne in Hyrule and a fellow…smasher I suppose were called." he said simply moving so that the screen showed them both more clearly.
"My apologies Princess. If you would allow me to introduce myself I am Mein, Lieutenant of the Centurian Army here in Sky World under our great goddess' rule." he said bowing. Giggling slightly Zelda curtsied back
"Greeting Lieutenant, Princess Zelda of Hyrule. But everyone calls me Zelda." she said smiling. Suddenly the bottom part of the screen went white causing Pit to sigh
"Lieutenant you need to get back to your post, and someone is trying to contact me." he said as the mood suddenly turned slightly serious.
"Of course Captain, Goddess's blessing to you. Zelda, pleasure meeting you, and Goddess's blessing to you." he said saluting once again to Pit before the top screen went white, muttering another small spell the screen went once again to the golden warm background but this time instead of Mein it was an…angel she supposed, but his wings were black and bat like, and dark orange eyes slightly covered by ash grey hair.
"Uhm…Captain Pit…hmm…forgive me if I interrupt, but uh…God-Goddess Palutena wishes a message for you." he said between breaths, he sounded like he was out of air, and not used to talking much either.
"No Jakiren, you interrupted nothing, what does 'our' goddess wish?" he said emphasizing the word 'our' making him flinch slightly.
"Yes well, she wishes an audience with you during your…I supppose down there it's a….weekend?…I suppose, she will be making a….uhm…visit soon." he said messing with his hair that went past his shoulders.
"Good. Thank you for alerting me, how is the adjustment going? You seem to be going through some changes I see." Pit said still slightly cold but slightly proud as well.
"Heh…ya…the light, it doesn't bother me so much as it first did, I…I cant be out for long but I am able to stand out here longer…and my hair and eyes are lightening up a bit, and my hair seems to be growing, but my wings look like they wont change thankfully, if…if its not out of turn…I don't see how you fly…with feathers…I can even join in the holy sanctuary now…again its…its not very long before I either…am forced to leave or…or simply pass out." he said still breathing hard.
"Why are you breathing so hard? Is something wrong?" Zelda interrupted slightly worried at the fact that the…figure on the screen still didn't seem to have his breath.
"Uh, no, nothing…Captain, who is that watching?" he asked slightly confused. Before Pit could answer Zelda curtsied and cut him off.
"I am Princess Zelda of Hyrule and a participant in the newest brawl down here." she said simply as the figure on the screen gave a short nod of his head with his eyes closed opening them again.
"Sorry Captain…but I must…be going now…I-I am taking watch tonight so I must rest before hand…" he said as Pit nodded.
"Goddess' blessing to you."
"And to you as well…" Zelda was startled as both screens went black and Pit sighed, but stopped as a feeling of hunger, pain, cold, and hatred ran through him as images of people passing by ignoring him or sneering before turning away flashed again before his eyes. As he snapped to his senses he realized that Zelda had been talking earlier.
"Sorry Zelda, I didn't catch what you were saying." he apologized as she stopped talking to giggle again.
"No problem, I was just wondering…so I was introduced to…Lieutanat Mein was it? And…someone else. Who was the black winged person you were talking to?" she asked as he thought for a moment.
"Oh, you mean Jakiren, he is a demon of the underworld. Every few blue moons we will have a demon who crosses the border into skyworld and simply waits. We are instantly alerted when one does cross and I am sent to investigate, when I got there his wings were invisible with the night, his eyes a deep maroon red, and his hair blacker than death, and he simply threw his weapons at my feet and begged an audience with Palutena. It took a while but she finally agreed to meet with this demon, it was already nearly dawn but he stood and waited and never spoke a word until she got there. Of course me and the other angels bowed when she came and after we had he tried to bow the same way we did, I knew what was going to happen and Palutena probably did as well. Turns out I was right, he wanted to be in Skyworld with us and side with Palutena being the goddess she is she accepted him and put him under my wing. Wherever I went he was to follow best he could and anything I did he had to try. He failed a lot of things and stayed in any shadow he could." at this point Zelda interrupted him
"Why under your watch?" she asked as he didn't seem to mind the interruption.
"Why not? I lead the Centurion army, the guard squad, and the royal units, and a few others. In other terms I lead any and all forced of Skyworld, he would work under me eventually if he succeeded, he did and is now in the Centurian army night watch apparently. As you saw he is slowly changing. 6 months have made a great deal of change in him, his voice hasn't at all, but he can better control his tone so he isn't so threatening anymore. He also has to stay at Palutena's side when he can.
" So…he's trying to reform? Why let him? It could have been a trap." she said as Pit seemed to laugh this time.
"We have thought that which is why he is under constant surveillance by someone, but…it hasn't been the first time….someones reformed…" he said his voice becoming slightly…off. She began to think as she watched him look out the window again at the snow and at the smashers playing in it. Looking outside she laughed, apparently the kids were able to convince Ike, Marth, Link, DK, Fox, Falco, Snake, and to join a snowball war, which Samus soon joined when she heard what was going on. Looking back to Pit he seemed to be looking elsewhere, she had seen it happen a couple of times during the conversation. And looking over everything she guessed he was going through some flashbacks. Everyone went through it sometimes so she just let him be until he snapped out of it again.
"You wanna go join them? Its actually a lot of fun. I'm going to here soon." she said smiling as he had snapped out of his daze.
"Join a fight? You're a lady, ladies are not supposed to enter most forms of combat." he said.
"Surely you have females in Skyworld? Plus I participate in this brawl event, and its just snow. I haven't joined a snowball fight in years. The weather is perfect, you should join if you can. I'm going to change and join them. Bye Pit." she said running off to her room. Looking back outside he smiled as he remembered a boy with short brown hair and a tan toga throwing snow at him as he ducked and threw snow at the boy in return both laughing the entire time.
"Hmm…maybe the Hylian has a point…" he murmured as he slowly walked back to his room to try and find something better than his regular outfit.
