There was no window, so Pit had really no idea what time it was. It was most likely morning, cause Kite awoke a few moments ago. But it could be evening as well, because they were knocked out for hours and that could disorder their biological clock. A member of staff entered the angel prison and gave some water bottles and sliced of bread.
'What time is it?' asked Kite to the member of staff. He checked his watch.
'It's 6.00 a.m,' said the member of staff. 'Prepare yourselves, mister Harrison is going to ask a few questions for project Angel. The interrogation starts in half an hour.' He walked away and shut the door. Pit and Kite took their breakfasts. It was the basic recipe for "just keep them alive". The fact that angels came from the Skyworld, world of the immortals, didn't mean they couldn't die. Angels could live for thousands of years, but if you kill one like a human, he will surely die.
The door went open and the two scientist, who plucked Pit's wings, entered the room. Pit and Kite recoiled immediately. They held their hands out.
'Sorry about yesterday. We would like to introduce ourselves. I'm Henry Farmer and my colleague here is Felix Highland.'
'How about your wings now? Are they feeling better now?' asked Felix sympathetic and tried to check Pit's wings, but he recoiled again. Don't you dare touch my wings, thought Pit.
'Hey, don't worry, we are not here to torture you. Wing clipping is just a standard bird procedure. It prevent getting injured when you try to fly in this small building.'
Henry unchained Pit and Felix unchained Kite. The angels walked with their hand behind their backs, accompanied with the scientists. They opened a door and entered a hall, packed with security guards. Pit looked around. The hall was filled with reporters, cameramen and photographers.
'LOOK! THERE THEY ARE!' shouted a female reporter. Pit became blinded by photo cameras. Before he, nor Kite could say something, they were carried away from the press to another hall. They went through a door, which gave access to a large room with a desk and chairs.
'Jack, here they are,' said Henry and set Pit in a chair. Felix did the same with Kite. Their hands were tied up at the chair.
'You filthy jerk! Let us go!' shouted Kite to mister Harrison, who sat behind a desk with a computer, a kind of magic human stuff.
'Go? The only thing I know is that you are Kite and that boy next to you is Pit, so full name please?' asked Jack and looked at the angels. Pit remembered the Angel Code of Silence. His name could be no problem to tell, the Angel Code of Silence told to say nothing about the gods, the Skyworld or armies.
'Pythagoras Perseus Eros Icarus.'
'Kite Elanie Blackhawk.' Jack Harrison noticed their names in the computer.
'How old are you?' asked He.
'In angel years I'm sixteen,' said Pit.
'I'm fifteen angel years old, but in human years we are hundreds of years.'
'Right, now I'm curious. How about a fight?' asked he and Henry and Felix gave the angels their bows.
'Huh what?' asked Pit. Angels only fought with dummies, not with other angels (except for dark angels).
'I said fight, shoot each other knock out. And don't dare to shoot at me, or I rip your oh so susceptible wings off.' Pit and Kite were pushed to the corners of the room. Kite to the left corner, Pit to the right corner. Jack turned a camera on.
'Three, two, one, FIGHT!' said Jack. I don't want to fight with Kite, thought Pit. The angels remain standing. Bows in their hands, but no one was going to shoot.
'FINSIH HIM!' shouted Jack to Kite, who stood the closed to him. She closed her eyes and Pit did the same.
'Aaargh!' Pit dropped on his knees when an arrow hit his flank. He looked at Kite. She was pulling her bow string and had a dark glow in her eyes.
'Wait Kite, I don't want to fight!' shouted Pit, but Kite released a second arrow. Pit dodged this time. She ran toward him and split her bow. What the underworld was Kite doing? The dark glow in her eyes scared Pit. She started a blade fight. Pit wasn't attacking, he was just defending and tried to take down Kite before someone could get serious injured. Kite on the other hand, was trying to stab her blades into her mentor. A blade hit Pit and he fell. They were holding each other on the ground.
'Kite what are you doing!' shouted Pit and hold Kite, so her blade couldn't reach his chest.
'Finish it off!' shouted Jack from the other side of the room.
'NO!' shouted Pit in despair. Kite suddenly dropped her weapon, lost her grip and dropped with closed eyes on her knees. What happened now?
'Kite? Are you all right?' asked Pit. She opened her eyes, which had their normal red colour back. Pit tried to help her up, but she ran away from him.
'Go away, I'm dangerous,' said she with tears in her eyes. Pit was confused.
'What do you mean?' asked he.
'I'm not a light angel like you. I'm a dark angel.' Kite looked lost and Pit gasped. 'I'm created in the underworld by Hades with the task to kill angels. Sometimes my dark side takes control over my mind. I escaped in terror and lady Palutena found me. She saw a core of light within me and made me a light angel and let me live in Angel Land. The only scarves of my darkness she couldn't remove were my eyes and my flight feathers. That's why I have red eyes and black flight feathers.'
Tadaa, now you know Kite's background story! The darky Kite is based on a black sparrowhawk (references to her last name). The lighty Kite is based on a white-tailed Kite.
