I don't own anything but the fanfic and anything original, no matter how much I'd love to own kid Icarus Uprising.
Wither

Dark smirked as he watched Pit run around like a headless chicken, apparently one of the servants were in a prank war with Pit.. and the servant was winning at the moment.
"Gahh.. get it off, get it off!" Pit yelled actually running in circles.
"Get what off exactly?" Dark asked calmly, it wasn't often he got to laugh at his other half.
"That... that!" Pit said pointing to nothing on his clothing, squinting Dark could just make out a shimmer of magic slinging to Pits form. Okay, maybe the Prank war had gone a bit too far now.
Waack
Dark winced as Pit ran into a tree, then fell to the ground dizzily, Sighing dark walked up top the lighter angel, leaning down to see Pit blinking up at him not quite back to normals.
"Wow.. two Dark's.. no make that three!" Pit said, Dark stared and then helped Pit to his feet.
"Lets get you to the hot spring, that running into a tree scrambled you a bit too much," Dark said, and led a rather dizzy Pit there.
OoOoO
"No.. that wouldn't work," Palutena said to herself and destroyed another set of plans, this looking for a way for dark to keep exiting was not going well.
Laughter filled the air after a splash, she paused and smiled. Taking a quick look in with Pit and dark, she saw that Dark and pushed Pit into a hot spring and Pit acted like he was about to drown in knee high water.
The smile faded away quietly, it was refreshing to hear her temple and Skyworld so lively.. the thought of the quietness and depression that would follow Dark's end would be horrible.
"I wonder if Apollo is about, he is a healing God," Palutena asked herself, she'd have an easier time tracking down Artemis so she'd find the Goddess of the hunt first.
OoOoO
Pit chased after a snickering Dark, his other half had run for it after Pit had stopped struggling in the hot spring.
Suddenly though Dark seemed to sway, then he collapsed.
"Dark," Pit cried in concern, quickly catching up to the darker angel.
"Suddenly so Dizzy, couldn't tell what was left or right or up or down," Dark muttered quietly, then winced. "Apparently i have a migraine also."
"I don't like the sound of that," Pit frowned, he'd have to take Dark to Palutena.
"Help me up," Dark ordered, quickly Pit helped his twin up.
"We'll walk slowly, so you'll feel less dizzy," Pit told him, of course they didn't get a chance to walk as Dark slipped unconscious with Pit barely catching him.
OoOoO
"Well," Pit said wide eyed staring that the green haired Goddess.
"I... was hoping we had more time," Palutena said frowning.
"What do you mean more time, whats wrong with him?" Pit said worriedly, Palutena knew this would not be a happy conversation.
"Dark Pits soul is incomplete, when the mirror shattered it didn't create a mirror soul it broke a shard of soul of your own Maybe one third of your soul, but it also damaged both your soul and dark's piece making them not heal and Dark's soul to grow. I only found out a few days ago, I've been trying to find Artemis who is the only one who knows Apollo's location. He should be able to fix this," she told the little angel.
"How can he fix this, how?" Pit asked turning to stare at Dark's unconscious form that was becoming pale and already his breathing wasn't good.
"The short way would to return his shard of soul to yours, it would be one body with two personalities," Palutena said quietly.
"No, Dark deserves to live as his own person... even if we're as linked as deeply as we seem to be," Pit said unhappily, he also she realized had realized somewhere along the way that dark and himself were one being in two bodies.
"The other is that we place a slightly stronger barrier between your two selves minds and find a way to heal Dark's soul enough to grow so to not deteriorate and drawn back to yours," Palutena said, Pit stared at Dark tears slipping down his face.
"Fly me to where Artemis hunts, I'll beg or fight her myself to save Dark," Pit said picking up his Divine bow.
"Then, lets go. We have to hurry," she told him.
OoOoO
There wasn't a monster is sight, but his grasp was tight on his bow. Above him was a full moon, they were apparently lucky that it was there since she was a moon Goddess. She rarely appeared for her hunts outside them.
"I've found her, prepare to land," Palutena said, and soon he was heading to a large forest.
Pit landed in a small clearing in the forest, there was a small lake not to far from him.
"You are disturbing my Hunt angel," a cold female voice said, turning he saw women who seemed to have hair of moonlight and was beautiful. Yet, she was as cold as the moon.
"I'm sorry lady Artemis, I was led to believe you know the location of Apollo," Pit said, hoping he wasn't coming off as rude or stupid, he couldn't afford it going wrong.
"I do, but information does not come free," she said, and he yelped as an arrow of moonlight grazed his cheek, coming from a bow that was suddenly in her hands.
"Hey, can't we talk about this!" Pit yelled as he began to dodge the Goddess ad finally also firing his own bow.
"No," came the dead pan answer.
Half an hour later or trading bow blows the Goddess stopped, then smiled and her bow vanished. Pit shifted his bow, not knowing if the battle was over.
"You are skilled angel, not a pet as many Gods call you. I shall give you what you need now," Artemis said in her quiet way.
"Um.. thank you?" Pit said confused.
"You will find Apollo in the first hint of sun, riding his carriage of fire guiding the sun on its first steps of the new day," she said, then began to walk away.
"Thank you Artemis," he said happily.
"I'm calling you back now," Palutena told him, and warm light surrounded him calling him home.
OoOoO
"This will end up a chariot race won't it," Pit said to himself, as he got the two unicorns set up.
He'd checked up on Dark when he gotten back, but there was no change. Then he'd fallen asleep beside the dark angel, not willing to leave dark till he had to leave in the morning.
Hopefully he'd up to Apollo quickly, he felt like he was missing part of his very being with dark like that.
"Lets go,"he told the two, and they sped off into the sky.
A beautiful trail of fire-light sped through the air, guiding the sun on its first steps. The Chariot Apollo drove, seemed to be made of Gold and Fire, some so how it was white.
"Wow," Pit said, that was a cool chariot and was being drawn by a Alicorn made of fire.
Pits chariot quickly caught up with the sun chariot, and he finally got a good look at Apollo.
Apollo unlike his sister looked around fifteen, with a swimmers build and tanned skin. His hair was short and a burnished red that curled, but now and then a bit seemed to flare with bits a flame. The Boy God turned to look at Pit as he neared, his eyes were a grey-blue with a spark of humour in them.
"Oh... an angel... Palutena's angel.. Pit right," the God said with a cheerful voice.
"Yeah, that's me. Palutena and I need your help," Pit told Apollo.
'Well then I can do that since I just finished this. But first..." Apollo said with a grin.
"A race right?" Pit asked dryly.
"Correct, then you can lead me to cutie Palutena," Apollo smirked.
"The nerve," Palutena said in his head.
"Right, lets do this," Pit replied, not wanting the headache of two gods arguing in his head which seemed to happen a lot during the uprising.
With that two chariots raced over the early morning sky.
OoOoO
"Why Palutena, you look ravishing," Apollo told the emerald haired Goddess as Pit and the God arrived. It had been almost noon when Apollo decided he was done, and they'd headed to skyworld.
"Don't make me regret searching you out Apollo," Palutena said actually twitching, and he seriously didn't want to know what Apollo had done to get that reaction, other then Flirt. Apparently the red haired God was a huge flirt, and didn't seem to get the picture that none of the goddesses liked it.
"I'll behave," Apollo said holding up his arms in peace.
"Fine, this way," Palutena said leading Apollo off, with Pit quickly following.
"Dark," Pit said unhappily, seeing the magic encasing the darker angel now and in fact was keeping his body as stable as it could.
He took his twins hand in his own, blocking out the world hoping with all his might that Dark would jump up and laugh at them for being so worried about him.
"Hmm. I can do that easily. But I won't," Apollo said, bring Pit back to reality at Apollo's reaction.
"Why not!" Pit cried in shock, Palutena didn't look happy either.
"Because his body might reject my power, but it won't reject cutie's here power," Apollo smirked.
"Then tell me how to save him," Palutena demanded.
"Time to sleep angel," Apollo said, and Pit felt sleep claim him into its grasp.
OoOoO
"Why did you put Pit to sleep?" Palutena asked unhappily.
"What effects one effect the other, they are one soul two bodies.. heh.. you have one multiple personality Disorder Angels," Apollo said as he put Pit on the bed next to dark, right away teh two unconscious angels cuddled together.
Palutena had to fight the urge not to coo how cute they were when they cuddled, so not the time for it.
"Please, were running out of time," she said to him, Dark dying would destroy Pit and she rather liked the rather prickly dark angel.
"First we have to thicken the barrier btetween there minds, not to hard but annoying since there proactically in each others skulls all the time without realizing it," Apollo said smirking. "This part I can do for you," he said and placed a hand on each angels forehead.
Both angels glowed a fiery color for a moment, then that faded showing that both had a bit of sweat on there forehead from Apollos powers.
"Did it work," Palutena said nervously, she got a raised eyebrow from the other God.
"Of course it worked, angel boys will just have to get use to having a connection more like twins instead of almost one brain between them," Apollo smirked.
"Thank goodness," Palutena said relieved, now the only part needed was the souls part.
"Now the fun part," Apollo said rubbing his hands together.
"Fun part?" she said with raised eyebrows.
"Yeah, how can healing a soul in two parts and growing oe epart not be considered fun," the sun/healing god said hapily.
"Only you Apollo," Palutena said.
OoOoO
There was nothingness, no light no darkness, just a void.
This is where Dark had been floating for however long.
He had no body, and no voice as far as he could tell.
-Dark-
And now he was hearing things.
-Dark, where are we?-
=Pit?= Dark said in a voice that wasn't a voice.
-I was so worried, your so sick. We got Apollo to help you, then i was here!- Pit said unhappily.
=I was sick?= he said confused, right now everything seemed so hard to remember.
-Yeah, but soon you'll be better and we'll be out of wherever here is- Pit said a bit more happily.
Then finally he coudl feel Pit, even if he couldn't see anything, and he swore it felt like Pits soul was cuddling his.
=What's that?= Dark said as the void seemed to shift.
-I think were asleep, but now were waking up- Pit said thoughtfully.
=I think yo...
OoOoO
Dark woke up to a teary eyed Palutena and smug look red haired God, Apollo if the strange dream was real.
"Thank goodness," Palutena said and to his shock hugged him.
Then Pit was joining the hug, and Dark felt happy and that he belonged more then ever.
"Don't ever start dying ever again," Pit told him fiercely.
"I'll do my best to keep that promise," Dark Promised.
