Alive (Pit x Reader x Dark Pit)

Chapter 17: Right

"Palutena. I'll be fine," You said, smiling a little. "I'm not going alone. Pit will be with me."

"I know, I'm just making sure...If you feel sick, please let Pit know," Palutena said.

"I will," You said, reassuring her. Palutena moved over to Pit and placed both her hands on his shoulders.

"Pit, I have the centurions on standby. If anyone lays a finger on Y/N...a swift death will await them."

"R-right!" Pit said.

"Best of luck to the both of you! Hades and I are overdue for a chat, so I may be busy for a while. However, if you are in need of my assistance, don't hesitate to call!" Palutena said, pulling you both into a tight hug.

"Right, thanks Lady Palutena!" Pit replied.

"So...what's your opinion on Viridi?" You asked. You held tightly onto Pit as he flew high through the air.

"Well...Viridi isn't open minded. She wants to wipe all humans off the planet because they aren't respectful of nature. It isn't right to say that all humans are bad. There are many that are good. Like you."

...Pit thought of you as a good person? Even with your habit of stealing and the constant trouble you get yourself into?

"Y-you really think that I'm a good person?" You asked, a bit surprised.

"Of course!" Pit exclaimed.

You looked away. You knew you weren't terribly bad, but you were also no saint. You've made mistakes in the past.

"Thanks," You murmured. It was all you could think of to say.

"No problem!" Pit said, smiling a little. You grew quiet until you thought of something else to ask.

"This is a bit off topic, but can gods die?"

"Well...Yes and no," Pit said. "Whenever Lady Palutena and I defeat a god, they do die. But they don't stay dead. They revive after a short amount of time. Around 25 years or so. It all depends," Pit explained.

"25 years?!" You exclaimed, surprised. Pit considered 25 years a short amount of time?!

"Yeah! I defeated Medusa 25 years ago," Pit said. You could tell he seemed proud of this achievement.

"...Pit, how old are you?" You asked, genuinely concerned.

"Haha...Well...I kinda lost track," Pit admitted. "When dealing with gods, time doesn't really matter. I age, but...not really."

What Pit said made sense, but what bothered you was the fact that he still looked adolescent.

"You guys really are immortal," You murmured. "So what's the point of killing gods if they'll just come back?"

"It's to teach them a lesson. And to restore peace....and to give humans a break," Pit explained.

"Ah, that makes sense. So what would happen if Palutena kicked the bucket?"

"Well, Lady Palutena keeps order. Gods would probably fight each other and humans would be wiped out in the process."

"That sounds horrible," You said, remembering how powerful Phosphora and Twinbellows were. Humans are doomed without Palutena and Pit's help.

"Yeah, but don't worry! I won't let that happen," Pit said.

"Glad to hear," You said, taking a look around. The skies were clear, and the clouds looked almost like cotton candy. The scenery was always beautiful up high, but...something felt off.
