Pairing: Link x Pit, Pink, Lint(or all other ship names)
Hello. I bring you all another story. This time for the Smash Bros. Community. I believed there is quite the shortage of Link x Pit in the community. So that will be this story's main ship. This story's side ship will be Dark Pit x Lucas. I hope you all enjoy.
Link sighed for the umpteenth time that day. Yes, umpteenth as in some imaginary number to express how many times he had gotten irritated today. Yes, irritated, and sighing was the only outlet for him as of right now due to the fact that he hadn't spoke a single word since he was 8. And right now he was 17. He kinda surprised himself by still getting all the grades he did. All 95's and above.
The bell finally rang, and he stood up, shoved the papers he was doodling on into his bag, and walked out the classroom.
What he would do right now to just magically teleport home and right into the bath with hot water and maybe a bowl of cereal. Yes, hot and cold. Link had quite the surprising knack for real life oxymorons. But unfortunately, life wasn't the awesome 3D game that was shown on television, supposedly having the 'easiest saving and transportation ever'. Life was that weird game that probably only sold a third of intended sales. Its price probably dropped down to...about $5.00 at this point. And people still wouldn't buy it. Maybe that's why reality was so difficult to grasp for some people. Perhaps the quality never gave enough appeal.
Link caught himself daydreaming, and shook himself out of it. No way in hell would he have a repeat of last year at that school trip when he was daydreaming on the spring board at the pool and Roy shoved him. He swore to himself that he had never seen his life flash before his eyes like that, in fact, life was still flashing now. Probably the afterglow.
He found himself in front of his locker, and he decided to leave his art folder inside.
Strange.
He felt that he'd been forgetting something important this entire week. Hmm...an assignment?
Probably not.
Slamming his locker shut, he turned to see Roy, Marth, and Ike right there.
Roy grinned. "About time you hurried up! We're going to have a night out on the town! To the pizza shop!" Roy yelled excitedly, jumping up and grabbing one of the hallway lights, swinging on to each one like some untamed beast. Ike and Marth sighed.
"Let's go..." Marth mumbled, and the trio followed after an excitable Roy.
Link had no idea how much pizza he had eaten; either way, he had eaten like a huge sloth. Two slices of pizza was usually where he cut the line. But damn, with the encouragement of friends, who knew what the fuck one would get up to.
"...I hope we get to hand it in on time. I mean, that art assignment is more than half of this marking period's grade!" He had heard Ike exclaim.
Wait. What?
Art assignment...
Art assignment.
Art assignment?
Art assignment?!
Link let out a distressed whimper and let his head fall against the table. Roy looked confused.
"What's wrong Link? Pizza causing indigestion?" Link pulled a pencil and paper, quickly drawing out his dilemma.
"Oh! Your art folder?! Shit! We've gotta go get it then!" Link shook his head. He'd honestly be fine going on his own. Roy shrugged.
"Suit yourself then. We're gonna head back home then. See ya! Lemme just go pay for the bill." Link nodded gratefully before dashing out the shop of deliciousness and right back to the school. He checked his watch.
9:00 p.m.
He had time. He quickly snuck to the back of the school; him and Roy used to go here when Roy would get in trouble or something was wrong when they were younger. He crawled through the broken window and landed on a desk. Okay. Now all he had to do was locate his locker. He suddenly got a strange chill as he stepped into the hallway; maybe he should of waited till tomorrow. After all, the school was still open on weekends.
No. He wanted to finish this assignment tonight. He slowly opened his locker, took out his folder, and closed it. That's when he heard a sickening growl. Then footsteps.
Some heavy ass footsteps. To be honest, they really stopped being footsteps. What were they, stomp steps? Did that even exist? All Link knew was that he didn't want to be part of it. He slowly began walk away from his locker when he heard another roar.
Dear God that sounded...surprisingly close.
Link turned around to see some huge beast above. A large ghastly eye with red cracks in it, a purple iris. Said eye was surrounded by a lump of flesh that looked vaguely similar to a heart. Said lump of flesh had to long fleshy arms extended, the ends covered by huge skulls. The beast lifted its arm, ready to swing.
"AHHHHHH!" back came Link's voice, roaring with life as he rolled to the side, running down the hallway at top speed.
A few flights later, the 4th floor to be exact, Link found that the stairs were closed off, the only ones having access were 'Authorized Personnel'. He groaned and turned around, the beast right in front of him. He cringed as the beast brought its arm up, most likely hoping to crush his skull with one bash.
SCHING
Funny. That sounded something like a sword, or a weapon. And someone was there. The beast's attention was diverted away from him(thank God).
"...servant of the Goddess of Light! You will be taken over by the light in which Lady Palutena creates! This is your end!" Link held his ears as the creature died. He heard a few splatters, and felt something splash on him. He opened his eyes slowly.
Whoa.
He saw someone amazing. A young male with dark brown hair stood before him. He had large, sparkling blue eyes. He donned a white tunic which had elaborate red and gold hems, fastened on the shoulder by a ruby clasp. He had a brown belt with silver lining and a triangular golden buckle in the middle. He also had navy blue shorts underneath it all. He seemed to be wearing bronze and gold cuffs on his wrists, a gold bracelet on his upper left arm and a gold thigh ring on his right thigh. He finally topped it off with elaborate brown sandals.
Link huffed. Talk about hardcore cosplaying. The character didn't really reach his mind though. But hey, if they guy was able to kill that fucking thing then hey, who was he to judge someone's fashion sense? He knew his own clothes were kind of tacky looking compared to other people. Link stood up, and it was then when the boy noticed him.
"Huh? I didn't know you were here. By the way," he looked at Link and damn those eyes were pulling him in. "Who the heck are you and why are you here? Student or not, its way too late to be in a school building! But maybe you had extra classes...but I checked and there were no teachers or personnel left! Or maybe you're a thief! That's definitely it! Fight me now! I will not let you get in the way of education!" For some reason, Link felt the need to actually speak.
"I snuck back in to get my art folder..." The boy paused.
"...Oh. Alright then. Lady Palutena, do you think we should drop him home?" Link blinked. Who the hell was he talking to? Was he a student he hadn't met before? "Alrighty then! Looks like you get a ride home!" The boy grinned.
"I don't drive with people I barely know..." The boy snickered.
"You hear that Lady Palutena? He hasn't realized!" And for a split second, Link could've of swore he heard laughter, like a soft bell. "Okay! Time to activate the Power Of Flight!" Link was highly bewildered. Power of what?
But the confusion was quickly dispelled.
Because when he saw those large feathery appendages extend, wrapping softly around his shoulders and rocketing out the window and into the night sky, he knew that there was no need to be worried. An angel had fallen out of the sky, just for him.
"Oh my god, oh my god why the hell am I in midair?! Put me down put me down put me down-"
"You see Lady Palutena? He's actually taking it better than-huh? Bring him back to the temple? Why? Just do as you say? Lady Palutena he's-AAAAH!" The boy screamed and gripped Link tighter, causing Link to scream as well. The boy opened his eyes after a while and managed a smile despite the speed they were moving at.
"Its OK! Lady Palutena is gonna watch over for you tonight! You must be glad! That's an honour isn't it? By the way, my name's Pit! Nice to meet you!" He winked and Link could've swore he saw sparkles for a second there.
"I'm Link."
"Link? Like the link in a chain? Cool! How are you feeling Link? Its kinda scary for some people, so scary that they let go! But we're almost there. Maybe we can 'Link' together? Ha, that was a good one!"
They continued to float through the air silently until they stopped at a strange building area. Sort of. It was a platform in which the ground itself looked like it was made out of pearls. He looked up, and he caught a glimpse of a huge statue.
"Come on now Link! No time for sight seeing! The real sight to see is Lady Palutena!" He felt his palm grow unbearably warm when Pit gripped it tightly and dragged him to the entrance of the temple. The doors opened almost automatically and he swore he was walking on pure diamond. The floor was that shiny.
"Lady Palutena! I'm home!"
"Sheesh, you don't need to be so loud..." Pit frowned, and for the first time after seeing him, Link preferred him with a smile.
"You don't have to be so annoying Pittoo! Get a life. You'd think you'd lighten up her, but I guess even Lady Palutena's light can't cleanse someone as dull and dark as you." The one known as Pittoo glared.
"Why you-take that back Pit!" The two began bickering until they heard a clank on the ground, they both flinched.
"What is going on here? Is that how we give a first impression to a guest? By fighting?" She turned to Link. "I'm terribly sorry about those two. I am the Goddess of Light, Lady Palutena. I hope I can make your acquaintance."
"Same here. And you look very beautiful." He felt himself saying it without noticing it. She giggled.
"Why thank you! Follow me. Pit!" The brunette looked up. "We ordered Chinese food. Have fun." Pit jumped into the air, premature wings flapping excitedly.
"Yay!" Pittoo stood next to Lady Palutena as she led Link into the main hall.
"So...Link. Have you ever heard of me?"
"Not until today, Lady Palutena." She sighed sadly at that.
"You see...I once was a very well known goddess. But as the world evolved, many people have forgotten about me. Only a select few know of me. Its upsetting, but I used to be a very productive god as well. I'd have all my angels doing duties all at once, accomplishing so much so that we were known. Even Pit was known for a while. But that all changed when Hades had Medusa turn all of the centurions into stone, lifeless forever. I could revive them, but then they'd have to go through all the training regimens, and goodness would this place be a mess. But I want to thank you for actually lasting all the way here. Most people never even reach here because of fear."
Link only nodded, then cleared his throat. "Lady Palutena...it may seem strange to ask this...but if people barely even know you, how do you even order Chinese food?" Lady Palutena blinked before giggling.
"Well, you should ask Pittoo that. Apparently, he's head over heels for some earthling that can use PSI. And the kid is a delivery boy, so we only order Chinese food when we know he's going to be on his shift."
"What the-why are you telling him my business! We barely even know him!" Lady Palutena only smiled.
"Anyways, Pit! Get here right now!" The other angel appeared within seconds.
"Yes Lady Palutena?" She hit him on the head with her staff. "Ow..."
"Your room was a mess this morning! You should be lucky that Pittoo cleaned it up for you!"
Pit's eyes widened. "You let him WHAT? LADY PALUTENA HE PROBABLY WENT THROUGH MY STUFF!"
Pittoo snickered. "Calm those crappy wings of yours, they're flapping out control. You think you'll get a burst of speed and maybe someday fly? Not on your life. Anyways, you're computer has a password that I can't crack." Link blinked.
"Wait...what do you mean 'premature wings'? He was flying just a second ago." Now Pit blushed, embarrassed.
"Pittoo! You did that on purpose!" Pit lunged at him, but Dark Pit dodged and put his foot on Pit's back, effectively stopping any movement.
"You see...Pit's wings never really aged along with him, so he can't fly unless Palutena or Viridi help him. Same for me too, but that's only because I'm his exact copy," he grinded his foot a bit, making Pit whimper. "And these two idiots have been making you think that my name is Pittoo. Its Dark Pit. So call me that."
"Shut up Pittooey!"
"Be quiet 'Pitty Pat'."
"How dare you?!" Lady Palutena hit both of them with her staff, effectively shutting them up. She smiled.
"Well, I'll show you where you get to sleep, since you'll be staying here over night. You've got a big day ahead of you!" Link only nodded, following her.
So...what do you all think of this first chapter? I hope its likeable. Please review.
