A New Threat (Kid Icarus Fan Fic)

Prolog

Nearly 30 years before.

With in 5 minutes, I became an only child. I had two older sisters and an older brother. My oldest sister, Margret, fell to the Overworld. Nobody knew where she was. My older brother, Samuel, and my other older sister, Minka, weren't very friendly with each other after that. Minka said it was Sammy's fault. Then I got sick. She said that was his fault too.

I was six at the time. Angels don't age as fast as humans. I had just gotten better, but I wouldn't be able to fly for a few months. Minka said that Sammy was trying to kill me. Minka and Sammy were by the ledge arguing. Suddenly, Sammy pushed her. He pushed her, his own sister. I ran to the ledge, but a woman pulled me back. She was screaming for help. Sammy took off.

By the time the guards got there, it was too late. Sammy and Minka were both gone. They went to search for Minka, but all they found was snow. No body, no footprints. She probably wouldn't have been able to fly, because she would've been in shock and there was a blizzard below. She just vanished into thin air. I was scared and confused.

So I did the only logical thing. I ran off the ledge. I was going to hit the ground, but at the last minute I was caught by the winter wind. I landed softly on the snow and took off for the Downworld. It was where all the outcasts lived. I entered the first building I saw. A bar.

There was a woman with green hair arguing with the bartender. She wanted information about the cause of the blizzard. She kept asking if the Underworld was behind it. She turned around and knocked me over. She looked confused. She studied me carefully.

"What's an angel doing in the Downworld?" she asked to no one in particular.

"I'm looking for my sister, Minka." I replied.

"Did you say you had a sister?" bartender asked. I nodded. "White-blond hair, ice blue eyes?" I nodded again. "She came in here. Poor thing. Scared out of her mind. She got spooked and took off towards the North Mountain. But you can't go after her, honey. You'll get lost or killed. Or both."

"Well, well, well, little brother." said a familiar voice. "Fancy meeting you here." I turned around. Samuel!

"What are you doing here, you traitor!" I yelled.

"To finish our dear sister." he said.

"Why? What'd Minka ever do to you?" I asked.

"How little you know." he said. "There are things in this world that are better off unsaid. Since you're here I might as well finish you."

He pulled out a match and struck it. He held it to my wings. My wings caught fire. The pain was excruciating. Everyone in the bar had their eyes on us. I screamed. I lunged at Samuel. At least I'd go out fighting and maybe buy Minka more time. Suddenly the world went black.

I woke up in a temple. The green haired woman was standing over me. I was still alive. My wings hurt, real bad. But they weren't burning anymore. I tried to sit up, but I quickly laid back down. It hurt to move.

"That was the bravest thing I've ever seen." the woman said. "What's your name?"

"Pit." I replied. "Where am I?"

"You're in Skyworld." she said. "I am Palutena, Goddess of Light. How would you like to become a member of my army?"

"Sure." I replied.

~Author's Note~

I'm kind of obsessed with Kid Icarus right now. So who do you think caused the blizzard on the Overworld? Don't worry, I'll reveal it later, but I want to see if you can guess. Anyway Pit and Palutena belong to Nintendo. Minka, Margret, and Samuel are my own characters.
