Okay sorry for not updating sooner. I've been busy with school and marching band so don't get mad at me!
Chapter 3: Medusa's Revenge
Pit had gone to his room after his meeting with Palutena. "We need to prepare for her attack. Make sure you keep your eyes open." the goddess had said. Those words continued to run through his mind. How long has she known about this? Pit sat down on his bed, wondering if Medusa would really be back. Knowing her, it wouldn't be a surprise. He layed down and closed his eyes.
He was half asleep when Ban busted in. He had scratches on his face and his usual bright gray eyes were filled with fear. "Ban, what's wrong?" Pit asked. "We're under attack by Medusa," Ban said, panting. "We're screwed!" Palutena! Pit thought. Who's protecting her? "Ban, I need you to go find any suvivors and hide," Pit ordered. "I'll go find Palutena and make sure she's safe." Ban nodded and the two took off in different directions.
Pit flew down the hallway as fast as he could, hoping his goddess was alright. Then something smacked the young angel into the wall. When he recovered, he saw a huge demon with long claws and long, nasty teeth standing over him. Pit hadn't seen a demon before.* His eyes grew wide when he saw it. The demon raised one claw and Pit rolled out of the way just in time.
I don't have time for this, he thought as he was trying to get away. The demon roared angrily and grabbed Pit by the wing, throwing him down the hallway. He tried to flap his wings for air recovery, but one of his wings wasn't working properly and flew towards the main room. Then pain shot threw him as he felt sharp claws slice his right side and he gasped in pain, but he continued flying toward the throne room.
When he got there, he saw Medusa standing over a chained and weakened Palutena, saying. "You've grown weak since our last battle." "Let her go!" Pit shouted, wincing. Medusa looked at him, then Palutena and laughed. "Is this a comedy special?" she cackled. "Is this boy your last line of defense?" She saw a group of demons standing around doing nothing. "You idiots! Get him!" The demons rushed toward Pit, but were shot by light arrows. He smirked. "So much for that idea." Medusa was pissed. She wanted to kill him so bad.
Then she noticed the angel's injuries. Maybe her plan will work. "If you want your goddess back, you must fight one of my most loyal subjects." Medusa sneered. That kid doesn't stand a chance, she thought as she summoned a five-headed monster called Hydra. Pit looked up at the Hydra, his eyes as big as saucers with fear.
He noticed that his vision was a little blurry, but it didn't stop him from attacking the monster. One of the heads lunged at him, hitting the angel in his already injured wing. The pain in his side and his wing was making it hard for Pit to stay focused during the battle. He tried to clear his head when another wave of pain shot through him as another head hit his back, between his wings.
Just before he hit the ground, a hand grabbed Pit, lifting him up in the air, then flung him against the wall. Pit's vision flickered when he hit the wall. I can't give up, he thought. He struggled to his feet, wincing. Palutena shouted, as best as she could, a warning to Pit too late. He was hit in the middle then something smashed against his head.
He felt himself falling and his last thoughts were about Palutena and how he failed to protect her.
*Pit has seen a demon before, but he doesn't remember. See ya next time!
