A New Threat (Kid Icarus Fan Fic)

1. He's Back.

It was six months after I defeated Hades. I had been having a lot of nightmares. They were always the same ones. I was having one of those nightmares tonight.

"So you defeated Hades, Pit?" he said. "Just you wait. The worst has yet to come. The world won't be at peace for long."

He started to laugh. Visions flashed before my eyes. My sister, Minka, falling from the City of Angels, to her death. Lady Palutena in chains. Hades resurrected. Pittoo trapped in a room that was quickly filling with water. Violet locked in battle, hopelessly outnumbered. My wings burning. The world on fire. Humans killing each other.

"You'll never get away with this, Samuel!" I yelled.

"Dear brother," Samuel said. "How naïve can you really be? Don't you know the truth of Minka's 'death'? I already killed her, what's stopping me from doing all that I showed you?"

"You're a monster!" I yelled. "I'm ashamed to call you my brother!"

Samuel started to laugh. He made a motion with his hand and walked away. A huge monster pulled out a sword. It held it over my chest and started to bring it down. It was all happening in slow motion. The world went black.

"Wake up!" someone yelled.

I woke up on the floor. My wings were in an awkward position. I was tangled in my covers. I must have been thrashing during the night. Someone snickered. I looked up. Lady Palutena, Viridi, Phosphora, Arlon, Violet, and Pittoo were there. Violet came over and helped me get untangled.

"So what were you dreaming about that you were screaming?" she asked. I remembered her locked in the hopeless battle.

"Just a nightmare." I replied. A look of doubt crossed her face. She shook it off.

"Get dressed." she ordered. She gestured towards the others. "Meeting downstairs. Come on guys, let's let Pit get ready."

They left. I took a quick shower and put on a clean tunic. I finally decided to buy more tunics. I really needed to do laundry. I walked out the front door and locked it. I hid the key in a potted plant. I realized I missed breakfast. I ran downstairs. Everybody was sitting at the table.

I grabbed Violet's toast and took a bite and handed it back to her. She ate it like I had never taken a bite. Viridi had a look of disgust on her face. I took my seat. I hated meetings. They were boring and I could never focus. I was meant to be fighting, not sitting at meetings. Of course, I couldn't exactly fight with out Lady Palutena, considering I needed her to be able to fly.

Ugh! That is so embarrassing. I'm the only angel who can't fly, thanks to Samuel. If he hadn't burned my wings, I'd be able to fly. Minka was right every time she said he was plotting to kill us. I wonder if Minka's still alive. He probably killed her like he said he was going to.

"We have a problem." Lady Palutena said. "There's a Darkling planning on-"

"Resurrecting Hades." I cut off. Everyone was starting at me. My stage fright was kicking in.

"Yeah." Lady Palutena said. "How did you know that."

"Probably because I told him." Samuel said. He was standing in the front of the room. I felt myself getting angry. "Calm down, little brother. Mother warned you not to lose your temper."

"What do you want, Samuel?" I asked. I shocked myself with the hatred in my voice. I must have shocked everyone else too, because they wore stunned expressions.

"Let's see. I want you dead. I want to destroy the world. I want to find Minka and Margret and make sure they're dead. I want to strip you of your wings. I want to rule the world." he said. "But I have to do that at a later time. Right now I'm just here to give you a message, little brother."

"Little brother?" Viridi asked. "Your older brother is a Darkling?"

"Yes, Viridi, I am." Samuel said. "Samuel, ex-angel and Darkling. Anyway Pit. Watch your back, because I'm back." He disappeared.

~Author's Note~

So why did I make Pit's older brother evil, you ask? Because I wanted to and I can make him evil if I want. Nintendo owns the Kid Icarus characters. I own Violet, Minka, Samuel, and Margret.
