Within a dark room, a door of opens showing a burst of sunlight as a boy jumps through the door and spreads his wings. The boy starts falling and is suddenly flying through the sky, wearing a white tunic that matched the color of the sword he was carrying, it's also covered with dark blue and gold rims.
"Look like your eager to do another mission." A voice said in the boy's mind.
"Of course, after resting in bed for the past week, who wouldn't be eager?" the boy spoke out loud.
The boy's name is Pit and he's actually an angel. He serves under the Goddess of Light, Palutena, to fight of the forces of darkness. Pit is the leader for Palutena's army, but despite the strong role he has he lacks the ability to fly. Right now though, he is flying with the help of his Goddess.
"Well even so, we'll start off small and work our way from there."
"Come on, really? I want to do something exciting, like taking out a few Kometos."
"Sorry Pit, but I don't want you back in recovery because you over strained yourself on the first day."
"Alright... so, where are we going Lady Palutena?"
"You'll be going to the land of Equestria, watched over by the Goddess Celestia."
"Celestia of Equestria, sounds like they really like her."
"The proof is usually in the pudding."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, have you ever played Sim City."
"A little, it was really boring."
"Well, Celestia is a big fan of the game. So much that she actually made a kingdom and is ruling over it."
"Really! Man, I hope she's a Pokemon fan too."
"Anyway, you're going there to help train her army."
"Me? Doesn't she have a captain of her own?"
"He's on a honeymoon."
"But why me?"
"I owe her a favor, and besides, this will help you get back into shape."
"Alright fine, I'll do it; I still think fighting some underworlders would be a better plan."
"You'll be there for a few days so I won't be watching over you all the time, but don't feel obligated to call me for help. I'm expecting you to take good care of her army."
"Don't worry, when I'm done with them, they'll be able to take down any boss one-on-one."
Pit is flown high into the sky, passing clouds left and right of him until he could see a town made entirely out of clouds, pouring water and rainbows from the floating city.
"Whoa, a city made out of clouds." Pit said in astonishment.
"Which is why this place is called Cloudsdale." Palutena informed.
"It's amazing."
"Why, thank you." a new voice said in Pit's mind.
"Celestia, there you are. I brought Pit just like I promised." Palutena greeted.
"So you're the one that took on Hades." Celestia said "For facing off against the Lord of the Underworld, you must truly be strong."
"Eh it was no big deal." Pit boasted.
"No big deal?" Palutena confronted "If I remember correctly, it took a Weapon master, two gods, and an enemy to you take him down."
"But still, I was the one doing most of the fighting."
"That may be true, but I would assume that needing so much help would be considered as 'no big deal'."
Celestia started chuckling as Palutena and Pit continued on arguing.
In the distance, Pit could see a long road strip with what appear to be huts on the left "Your almost at the runway" Celestia said "I'll get my angels ready."
"WHAT, ALREADY? Oh man, how does my hair look, this robe doesn't look that filthy, does it?" Pit said frantically.
"Calm down your fine." Palutena consulted him "Just make sure don't screw up your opening speech."
Pit gently lands on the runway with various angels in size all lined up in front of him. One looked like a Centurian Strongarm, he's even caring a barbell as though it was a club. The only difference between him and a Centurian Strongarm is the fact that he had wings, small ones, but wings none the less. Another angel was very odd, everything about her appearance was fine, except for her eyes. They looked off centered, but the question was which one of her eyes were off centered.
In any case Pit started his pep talk "Um... hey... how's everyone doing? *clears throat* My name's Pit, commander of the army for the goddess Palutena, and I'm here to help train you." The other angels just stood there in silence. "Well um..., why don't we start by having you show me your basic routines. Company engage." The other angels fly off into the air and start pummeling on various cloud with their weapons. The strongarm one is swinging his club around, that lazy eyed one was shooting bubbles out of her cannon. "Fighting clouds?" Pit wondered "Doesn't this place have any monsters to fight?" Pit watch and saw many flaws that those angels could work on, like working on charge shots and concentrate on enemies instead of eating muffins, but one angel caught his attention. This angel was quick, faster then any of the others, this angel had claws for a weapon. Each of it's talons had an individual color,like a rainbow, which ironically matched her rainbow hair.
"Hey you" Pit shouts, getting her attention "You should really pace yourself."
"Don't worry, I got plenty of energy to keep me going for days." she said gloating over that statement.
"I don't care how much energy you have, your going to wear yourself out."
The girl flies straight towards Pit and stops near his face "What right do you have for judging my potential?" the other angels looked over at Pit and the girl arguing.
"Well, it's just that." Pit was getting flustered, but he put on a concerned smile "Everyone needs time to rest, even in battle, and if you don't rest you'll get tired and might even be an open target for an enemy."
"Peh" she smirked "Somebody getting the jump on good old Rainbow Dash? That will be the day."
"Well, doing this will make sure that it will never happen."
She put her hands on her hips "Alright then wise guy, why don't you show us how it's done then."
Pit stood their silently as the other angels watched "Er... maybe you should just do as I say and follow my words."
Feeling that she was winning the fight, Rainbow Dash starts pursuing him "What, can't live up to your words?"
Pit was starting to sweat "No, it's just that... um..."
"What, spit it out."
"I um... can't... fly."
Rainbow Dash stood there in silence as Pit stand vulnerable in front of his new army, now knowing his embarrassing secret, until a little voice started to come out of Rainbow Dash. "he... he... BWA-HA HA HA. A commander angel that doesn't know how to FLY?"
Pit just stood there feeling that he was finished, he knew that not knowing how to fly is a real embarrassment and having Rainbow Dash laughing was just salt in the wound.
Hours past as the Moon reached it's highest point of the night as a woman can be seen flying through the air. She lands in front of a statue of an old man giving an expression of fear in his eyes. "So this is where you were Discord" the woman said "no wonder you never return any of my letters." She starts walking around the statue in a fashioned like style "Just look at you, you could never take good care of yourself." She stares the statue right in the face "I guess I should help you, Ding-a-ling." She lifts up her arms as an orb of sweet blue and pink/purple started to form and then threw it at the statue bringing it to life.
"Oh shut up Pan" the now revived Discord said
"That's how you greet your big sister, right after she saved your life?" Pandora said as she folds her arms "Your manners still haven't changed."
"BIG SISTER? Look at you. You reverted to a younger age. It looks I'm the oldest sibling here."
"No matter my appearance, I'm still the older sibling."
"And it seems she still is an old blob." Discord thought "So what do you want Pan?"
"What? Can't I just come by for a visit to see how your doing?" she started to look all innocent.
Discord just stared at her with a blank expression of irritation.
"Okay, okay, I came by looking for a place and hoped you could spare a room for me; but it seems that you even have a place to rest either."
Discord gave a sly expression "I have plenty of room Pan, just let me move a few things out."
Minutes later in the throne room of Celestia, the doors to the room throw open revealing Pandora at the entrance.
"What is this? What do you want?" Celestia says as she puts herself on guard.
"Oh my, this is such a nice place" Pandora said "But this style of interior is so 1st gen."
"WHAT DO YOU WANT?" Celestia said sternly.
"Do I need to spell it out for you, I want you out of here honey."
"Give up my kingdom? Do you take me for a fool?"
"Oh no, I take him for a fool."
She points over Celestia's shoulder, Celestia gives a little glance and sees a familiar face that she saw not once but twice. "Hello Celestia."
