*TOO LAZY TO PUT UP AUTHOR'S NOTE*

Pairing: Dark Pit X Zelda
Summary: The angel of darkness returned back to the Smash Mansion in a hurry, only to be too late upon a terrible discovery...

Chapter 5: Final Wish

He had to hurry. The angel of darkness was rushing from the city to the Smash Mansion. But there was something wrong. He would come back to the Smash Mansion normally, but the act of him running home meant that something really bad happened. Here is how it all began...

Flashback...

"Hey, Dark Pit," someone called him.

The angel of darkness turned to see that it was the Princess of Hyrule, Zelda.

"Hey, Princess."
"How's everything for you?"
"Okay. How about you?"
"I'm fine."
"Glad to hear about that."

There was a moment of silence, until...

"Dark Pit, can I ask you something?"
"What is it, Princess?"
"I've been thinking that...since we've been together for quite a lot, maybe we can have a picnic tonight...?"
"Well, I'm not really sure..."
"If you don't want to, that's fine..."

Dark Pit looked at her. How can he reject an offer from the girl he cares?

"Actually, I'm fine with it."
'"Really?"
"Yeah, only for my girl I care about. I'll buy the food and we'll go out tonight."
"Great. See you then."

Flashback ends...

Unfortunately, something terrible happened and he immediately began to rush all the way back to the Smash Mansion with a bunch of speed and strength he has. He began to start panting for fresh air, but the angel of darkness didn't care about it. What only mattered to him is to make sure he gets back home safely.

I have to hurry! he thought.

Flashback...

"Here's the money," Dark Pit said to the worker as he handed him the money.
"Thank you and here's your change," she replied to him.

Silence came until...

"Um..."
"What do you want now?"
"Can I ask you something?"
"What is it?"
"Are you free tonight sir?"

Dark Pit looked at her with an expression that says 'What?'.

No way! She did not ask me that!

"Pardon me?"
"I asked you if you are free tonight..."

Dark Pit saw that exciting expression on her face. He simply replied...

"Sorry ma'am. I'm taken."
"Awww, okay..."
"I'll be going now."
"See you soon..."

So much for asking him out... she thought before she went back to work. Unless...

He left the store and began to walk to a nearby telephone booth. He put some money in and began to dial the number.

"Hello?" Zelda asked through the phone.
"Hey, Princess. I bought the food you wanted."
"Really? Thank you so much, Dark Pit!"
"Anything I would do for my girl. Remember?"
"Alright. I hope I'll see you back-"

Dark Pit suddenly heard glass breaking through the phone and his eyes widened with some slight fear. He also heard Zelda screaming for help.

"Princess? Princess?! What's going-?!"

Before he can continue his question, the phone line went dead. He dropped the phone and ran out of the booth really quick.

Flashback ends...

He finally made it to the Smash Mansion. When he went inside, everything was calm, but his mind was telling him that it wasn't. He ran to his room to get his weapon, which was his staff, and quickly ran to Zelda's room. The door was locked, so he immediately broke down the door with all his power and to his horror, the room was completely trashed. He also saw a trail of blood and followed it. But when he did, his crimson red eyes widen in horror as he saw Zelda bleeding from her chest. Panicking, he bent down and began to cradle her. Also, there were tears that were rolling down his cheeks from his eyes and falling to the ground.

"Princess! What happened?!"
"Ngh...Dark Pit..."
"Don't worry. I'm here..."
"Such a shame it was for you..." a sudden voice said.

He turned and saw the woman from the store with a knife on her hand, pointing at him.

"You...you killed my girl!" he screamed with rage as more tears fell.
"How does it feel to lose you girl now?!" she taunted and cackled evilly.

To his rage, he immediately began to kick the girl directly in the stomach, launching her to a wall. She got struck as she took the hit, but got up and began to charge at him with her knife. He managed to dodge this, but the knife gave him a shallow cut on his left arm. However, it didn't matter to him now. What mattered to him the most was to make this woman perish for what she did. He grabbed his staff and shot a purple-pinkish beam at her right side of her abdomen, injuring her in the process. She dropped the knife to the ground and fell to her knees, trying to catch her breath.

"You're strong, boy..."
"Heh...you haven't seen the last of me."
"Huh?"

The angel of darkness picked up her knife and kicked her to the ground, making her face him.

"I'm going to show you how this will hurt to you a lot..." he spoke in a darker tone.
"No wait! What are you-?!" she argued to him.
"To the Underworld with you!"

Suddenly, he began to stab her multiple times everywhere. Bits of her blood splattered on him as he continued. After that, he stopped and stood back up. He panted as soon as he looked at the woman, who is now dead. Dark Pit dropped the knife and went to Zelda, who is on the verge of dying. He once again cradled her and looked at her.

"Dark...Pit..."
"It's okay, Princess..."
"What happened..."
"It's alright. It's over now."
"Ah..."
"I have to get you to a hospital immediately or-"
"No..."
"Huh?"
"I don't have...much time...to live now..."
"No...you can't die!"
"I'm sorry, but promise me that you'll...be okay..."

He was silent. He hated to see her go now.

"I...I will..."
"Live on, Dark Pit...live...on."

Dark Pit looked at her. He wished that it was all a dream and that he would wake up from it. He wished that if he had got here sooner, maybe none of this would've happened. But it was impossible to go back now. To his loss, he accepted the painful truth. She had immediately died in his arms. The angel of darkness hugged her and screamed in pain. Everyone in the Smash Mansion heard him and half of them joined in his sadness.

Days had passed and nothing had been the same for Dark Pit. But he wasn't alone. His friends were now helping him get through it. However, he is never going to replace Zelda. She may be gone from this world, but she will still live on in Dark Pit's heart.

Thank you, Zelda. For everything...

~ONE-SHOT CONCLUDED, END OF CHAPTER 5~

Okay, I'll just say this. No Smasher got hurt in the story. Keep that in mind.

Zelda: I'm glad you said that *I don't know where she came from exactly?*
Dark Pit: Okay then...

Alright. If-

Dark Pit: If you like this story, just say something about it and tell us what you want in it so the writer can put it in for you. Okay? Good.

Dark Pit, that's my line you stole! D:

Dark Pit: I knew you were gonna say.

Oh well...
