Pit's Choice (Kid Icarus/If I Stay)

Pit's P.O.V.

I was standing outside the wreckage. I wasn't really sure what happened. Viridi wasn't kidding when she said her troops couldn't pass driver's ed. They must have crashed an exo tank. My first instinct was to search for survivors, but it looked hopeless. Lady Palutena and Viridi have no doubt noticed this disaster. Viridi might be mad about it destroying her troops and the plant life around it.

Speak of the devil, there she was, followed by Lady Palutena and Pittoo. I forgot they were discussing some kind of peace treaty. The reason we were in Viridi's Sanctuary in the first place. Pittoo must have been nearby.

"Where's Pit?" Lady Palutena asked sounding incredibly worried. I was confused. Didn't she see me? I was standing right in front of her.

"I don't know but something feels off. He's not dead, but it doesn't feel like he's quiet alive either. His soul's still in his body though." Pittoo replied.

What was he talking about? I was alright. I was standing right in front of them. Viridi will set them right. She'll point me out and correct them.

"He's right there." Viridi said, but she wasn't pointing at me. She was pointing at... me? I was unconscious and bleeding. "He's still alive. I can sense it, but barely."

None of this made any sense. How are there two of me? Why was I perfectly okay and the other me was dying?

"I'm right here Lady Palutena." I said as she and Viridi started to heal the other me's wounds, but she didn't hear me. Neither did Pittoo or Viridi. Arlon appeared out of nowhere. He and Pittoo carefully picked me up and took me up to Viridi's Sanctuary. I did the only thing I could. I followed them.

"He has massive internal damage. A ruptured lung and spleen. Internal bleeding coming from an unknown source. Also it appears he has some minor brain damage and a mildly bleeding brain." the doctor informed them. "We were able to take care of the lung and spleen. The bleeding brain and internal bleeding was stopped by Palutena and Viridi magically healing him. He's in a medically induced coma right now."

"When will he wake up?" Pittoo asked bluntly.

"I don't know. I don't know when or even if he will wake up." she replied flatly. "Medically induced coma means nothing. You may think us doctors and nurses are running the show, but we're not. He is. Pit's the one running this show. It's his choice if he wakes up or not. No one else can make it for him, he has to make it himself."

"If that were the case, the little dweeb would be awake by now. He's like a dog. He can't stand to leave Palutena alone." Viridi said in her usual sarcastic way, except there was something buried in it. Fear.

"You don't truly know Pit then." Lady Palutena replied mournfully. "Yes, Pit wouldn't hesitate to protect me and he would never betray me without good reason, but there's more to him than that. If it truly is his decision, he has more people and things to think of than just me."

My choice? I choose whether I lived or died? How can I leave without Pittoo, Lady Palutena, and Viridi? They were my friends. How can I leave when my death meant Pittoo would die too? But yet, how can I stay?

~Author's Note~

I'll cut it off right there. If you like this, comment and I'll consider turning it into a full length story and give it an ending. But right now it's up to you to decide for yourself if Pit choose to live or die. Kid Icarus belongs to Nintendo. I was inspired by the novel "If I Stay" by Gayle Forman.
