Chapter 13

"MESSOREM?!"

The hooded figure with the glowing red scythe turned to me moving with urgency and started plucking out the ninja stars from my clothes, using his scythe.

"GO!" They urged me when I was free "Help your friends!"

I nodded and ran towards where Pit and Dark Pit were staring wide eyed at Messorem. "Not so fast!" Phobos stepped in front of me, holding out his white as bone spear. He was pushed away from me with a red scythe "Not so fast, pervert!" Messorem growled at him.

Why were they helping me? I thought they wanted me to die?

I shook my head and focused on the situation at hand. I ran to Pit and started taking out the stars. I grunted with effort trying to dislodge them, finally with another tug- Pit was free! The two of us then busied ourselves with freeing Dark Pit.

I looked back, I saw Messorem struggling to fight the two gods at the same time. From one side they clashed their scythe with a spear and from the other they dodged away from ninja stars. Messorem was good...

"I'M SORRY Y/N!" Deimos yelled apologetically.

"YOU'LL BE SORRY FOR LEAVING THE DARK SIDE Y/N! YOU WILL PAY AND ONE DAY- ONE DAY HADES WILL GET YOU AND RESET YOU!"

Reset me... I'd rather die! Reseting was when Hades wiped our lives- he reseted them. Once it had happened to Cerebus. He was a bit TOO friendly for Hades's liking so he reseted Cerebus to be cruel. I liked Cerebus before he got reset- We played fetch together.

"HURRY! LEAVE!" Messorem yelled at us.

I nodded and pulled Pit and Dark Pit away from the mazed area. I didn't care which way we went- I just wanted to get the heck out of there!

"Who was that?" Pit asked me, my breath hitched "...I-I'll tell y-you..later.."

We turned left and turned right, we reached dead ends!

"We're lost!" Pit wailed looking around frantically.

"Ya think?!" Dark Pit snapped.

There must be a way out! Clearly we're not getting out of here just running around randomly. I try to think but a dull noise keeps coming in between my thoughts. It's probably Pit or Dark Pit. "Cut it out!" I yell at the both of them, they look at me taken aback. Dark Pit shakes his head "That's not us-"

"It's the river." Pit interrupts him.

Oh yeah... the river.

WAIT!

THE RIVER!

"I know how we can get out!" I say happily, Pit smiles "I knew we could do it!" while Pittoo gestures for me to continue.

"This Labyrinth is surrounded by water right? So when we get out there would be water. We can hear the river- so if we follow the sound we'll soon get out!" I explain proud of thinking that up.

"That's actually pretty smart." Dark Pit admits smiling at me approvingly. "Good job Y/N!" Pit grins. After that we try our best to follow the noise of the river looking around in case Phobos and Deimos found us.

All through the way I thought of Messorem. Were they okay? Were they hurt? Why did they help me? Usually they were just being a pain. Today they saved my life... If they get hurt- It's all my fault! Maybe I shouldn't have helped Pit..

No! Then I wouldn't have gotten the chance to be free!

"Y/N?" I feel a nudge on my arm, "Look" Pit points ahead of us with a sweet smile.

I look to where he's pointing and I see it. The river! My gondola! We're out!

I smile widely and hurriedly get on, Pit and Emo Pit get on after me. I'm so happy that I don't make the two angels row- instead I do. I'm so happy to be reunited with my gondola, it's like a part of me!

I happily splash my oar in the water though it is heavier than usual. I breath in the murky scent of the river styx- it smells like home!

"Y/N? We'll need somewhere to stay." Dark Pit points out looking at Pit who's leaning against the bow and sleeping. I wish I could fall asleep that fast!

"Who was that Y/N?" Dark Pit asks quietly.

"I don't know what you mean."

"Well whoever it was- you knew them!"

"..."

"Messorem- you called them"

I look away not wanting to tell them. They'll probably think I'll turn against them if they know I have a manipulating, evil reaper inside my oar. Dark Pit snatches the oar out of my hands and narrows his eyes "Tell me."

"T-they are mine.."

"Yours..?"

"As in my controller from Hades."

".... elaborate..." Dark Pit says curtly.

"His name is Messorem. He's in my oar, it's his job to make sure I don't rebel... He manipulates my decisions."

"So you have a spy of Hades inside your oar making sure you stay evil..." Dark Pit states glaring at me "Why didn't you tell us before!" he snaps harshly.

I glare back "If I told you, you would have left me! You would have thought I'd turn evil! You wouldn't have trusted me anymore! Do you know what it's like having a voice inside your head making you doubt your abilities?! Or what it's like living a life based on how someone else wants you to live it?!" I yell.

Pit wakes up with a start and looks around in confusion.

"So don't think you understand! You don't!" I shout. My heart pounds and my anger burns. My breathing has become uneven with every breath I take. Dark Pit's gaze softens "I'm sorry. You're right- I would have stopped trusting you. But now I do... thanks for telling me." he says quietly with his head bowed down.

"Will someone tell me what is going on?!" Pit yells with frustration. Dark and I look at each other "We'll tell you later." he answers for me.

Pit nods tiredly and resumes his nap.

I continue rowing.

Dark takes the spare oar and helps me.

"Why did they help you." He asks.

"I don't know."
