Viridi: Down-Trotting

by Dr Yeis


Rise Of Hades

You're still here?

Go.

Go while you still can.

I can't do anything other than what he wants me to do.

I'm helpless.

Y-you'd best be reading a story where you won't die.

Or...

Are you that much of a thrill seeker?

*grabs a hammer and Shield* *says in Joe Swansions voice* "BRING IT OOOOONNNNNN"

Well...maybe you'd have a chance...

I wonder how tall, dark and ugly would fare against a fourth wall breaking Saiyan.

You seem confident....

*Grabs a weapon* Not happening...

Yes....yes! We can't give up now!

YES.
ALL OF MY YES.
TAKE IT.
TAKE MY YES.

Hades....he's not here! I can still beat him! I have my quill...but...he'd notice a plothole....or a Deus Ex Machina...

Seriously call the one being who beat Hades before.

That's it! My trump card!


Viridi look towards a wall, empty and motionless. Meanwhile, Chrom and Orange worked on battle strategies on a table, moving tiny pieces left and right like two chess players. Lyra locked the doors, not knowing for how long that would hold the Underworld Army.

"What if the right flank left the left flank? That way we could take the offensive," Orange said, moving one half of the figures.

"No, that would leave both completely open to attack. We can't lose anyone here!" Chrom slammed his fist on the desk, much to a surprised Orange. Bon Bon walked over to Viridi, who was apparently crying, but attempting to hide it. The pony tried to comfort her but Viridi simply pushed her away.

"This is all my fault. If I hadn't lost my temper, we wouldn't even be in this mess," Viridi sulked.

"Hey! It's alright. We'll figure out a way," Bon Bon reassured.

"No, we won't! Ugh...useless useless useless useless useless!" Viridi pulled her hair and scrambled it up. Lyra stepped up on the table, much to the annoyance of the two strategists.

"Look we can sit around here while that guy tears our world apart or we can fight! I say, we head into that battle and rush in!" Lyra shouted. Chrom and Orange nodded and grabbed the Splattershot Jr. and Falchion respectively. Bon Bon put her hoof on Viridi's shoulder.

"We need a leader," Bon Bon stated. Viridi had a look of determination on her face.

"You're right. Hades can't be allowed to get away with this! Not anymore!" Viridi shouted.


"Phosphora! You're looking so cute today!" Palutena said, picking up some smiling daisies. The sky was covered in rainbows and the grass was covered with hearts as usual. The atmosphere was pink and had a warm fuzzy field to her. All the bunny people said hello to Phosphora as she skipped through the lemonberry forests.

"Thank you, ma'am!" Phosphora replied.

"Wow! Phosphora! I'm such a huge dork! You're right about everything! Wanna go on a date?!" Pit said, handing Phosphora a box of chocolates.

"Maybe tomorrow. I have to go to....ugh....work."

"Phosphora, since your hair is so perfect today, we've decided to give you a day off at work! I'm such a bad boss! You shouldn't have to work at all!" Viridi exclaimed.

"Heh...looks like I can take you up on that offer, aftera-" Phosphora flirted before she was interrupted by a distorted voice.

"Phosphora, Viridi is in grave danger! Warn Pit! Tell him to bring the Great Sacred Treasure! You're the only one who can help! Remember to tell him, she's in Equestria! I repeat! In Equestria!"

Phosphora woke up from her sleep, looking around her dark chamber, sweating bullets. She shot a tiny lightning bolt from her fingertips at a small, yellow lamp, giving it light.

"Arlon! I had a bad dream!" Phosphora walked out of her room and into the golden halls of Viridi's Fortress. Majestic vine-covered columns supported the ceiling, connecting to the grass covered floor. Phosphora's sandaless feet tiptoed through the place. "Arlon?"

Phosphora heard a muffled scream coming from one of the rooms, but which? She spotted a door and quickly opened it, only to find Cragalanche, the living rock, sleeping in his bed, which could barely support him. Phosphora, embarrassed, left the room and opened the door adjacent to her. No sooner than she had opened that door, she was welcomed with a shocking sight. Arlon was tied up in this small room with tape covering his mouth.

"Arlon!" Phosphora shrieked. She quickly untied her butler-like friend and swiped the tape from his mouth, rashly.

"GAH! Miss Phosphora, I'm going to have to ask you to be more careful next time. That gave me quite a painful experience," Arlon complained. Phosphora ignored him and embraced him.

"What did they do to you!? Who was it!?" Phosphora asked, worriedly.

"Hades, Miss Phosphora. Hades has been revived. He came here and I fear I was not strong enough to hold him back. Quickly, we must report this to Viridi!" Arlon straightened his suit, brushing off any dust.

"I thought I told you Viridi got hit b-I mean went on vacation!"

"If you speak the truth, Miss Phosphora, then that must have not been me, rather an imposter. Come, we must fortify our defensives," Arlon said, taking Phosphora's hand. The goddess suddenly remembered her dream.

"Actually, I think we'd better get Pit!"

"I hardly think Master Pit would be able to help us."

"Trust me Arlon, they have the Great Sacred Treasure 2.0! The successor to the machine that took Hades down before! And Pit, he's a hero! If I know the angel that defeated me before, he's probably training for battle right now as we speak!"


"WHY DON'T I HAVE A MUSTACHE YET!?" Pit, a young-looking angel in a white tunic and white sandals said, looking in the mirror, disappointed.

Suddenly, Phosphora, Arlon and Cragalanche burst into Pit's quarters.

"Pit! You haven't aged a day..." Phosphora said with a smirk.

"Angels don't really age. They just kinda have better graphics," Pit confessed. A darker looking angel pushes Phosphora and her group aside.

"Heh, so much for me trying to look more intimidating," The angel quipped.

"Dark Pit! How ya doing?!" Pit reached for a high five but was given no reply.

"Listen, according to the brat next to me, Viridi's in trouble and she's in someplace called Equestria. Know where that is? If you don't, you're of no help to us at all," Dark Pit snapped.

"I was gonna tell him that, you emo angel!" Phosphora yelled.

"At least I don't spend all my time flirting," Dark Pit argued.

"W-wait! I think I know where that is! Lady Palutena said she was going to a place called Equus. She left her Super Scanner here, so we can follow her coordinates and go there!"

"'Super Scanner'? Seriously?"

"I thought it was a cool name..." Pit said, grabbing a small handheld device with a screen on the top and a screen on the bottom.

"Master Pit, that's a Nintendo 3DS," Arlon said, annoyed.

"Yeah! And now you can get one with games like Super Smash Bros, Fire Emblem Awakening, Pokemon and even my game! You can get one from prices around 100$ wherever sold!" Pit said as he gave a wink to the audience. Reggie Fils-Aimé ran inside the room, left a sack of money next to Pit and left as abruptly as he came in. "Sweet! Think of all the hot springs I can make with this!"

"Stop messing around and find Palutena and Viridi's location!" Dark Pit ordered, grabbing Pit by the tunic.

"Okay! Fine! I'll do it!" Pit said, entering an application with Palutena's face on it. "Let's see, longitude 3.14154223, latitude 8675309. Great! You guys can teleport yourselves and I can take the Great Sacred Treasure 2.0!"

...

"What?" Pit blushed.


Phosphora and the Forces Of Nature commanders teleported right in the middle of Ponyville. To their surprise multiple holes randomly popped up bringing out Monoeyes that burned down houses and scourged the skies.

"What happened here?" Phosphora murmured. The Great Sacred Treasure swooped down from the sky. It's robotic body shooting purple balls of energy, taking down hundreds of Monoeyes.

"C'mon! We've got to find Lady Palutena and Viridi!" Pit shouted. He drove deeper into the town while his team followed.


"Alright. No more hiding!" Viridi commanded, charging headfirst outside the house along with Lyra, Bon Bon, Chrom and Orange. Unfortunately, they crashed into a metal object. "Ugh...what t-Pit?!" Viridi looked up to see Pit in the Great Sacred Treasure.

"Viridi, what's going on!? Monoeyes are everywhere...you and Lady Palutena went missing!" Pit said, getting out of his mech.

"Pit, what are you doing here!? You're going to get yourself killed!" Viridi then looked to the side to see her commanders. "You're all gonna get yourselves killed!"

"Mistress Viridi, we have pledged our lives to you and will serve you to the end," Arlon stated. He bowed along with Phosphora, Cragalanche and even Dark Pit.

"Well...fine. You probably know Hades is back, right?"

"I didn't!" Pit said, eyes widening.

"Hahahahahahahahaha!"

A laugh echoed throughout the land as Hades once again appeared in front of Viridi.

"Isn't this precious? The gang back together. Oh, I could just eat you up! Pitty-Pat, I see you've been doing well since you killed me," Hades teased.

"And I can do it again too!" Pit boasted.

"I'm shaking in my cape, really." Hades created a drink and drank it through his eyes.

Pit stood up tall and climbed into the Great Sacred Treasure.

"I am Pit, Captain Of Lady Palutena's Guard! Defender of justice and light! You came back, but I'm gonna kick you right where you belong! Aw yeah!" Pit gave a peace sign in his cockpit. Viridi face-palmed.

"Hm...I wonder if your opinion will change once I show you my new toys!" Hades showed the group two cages with Palutena and Celestia inside, asleep.

"Lady Palutena!" Pit cried, holding his hand to the window.

"If you defeat me, I'll bring your two precious ladies back. If you lose, you obviously die!"

"Bring it on!"

"Pit..." Hades began, getting ready for a showdown.

"Hades..." Pit replied.

"Pit!"

"Hades!"

"Pit!"

"Hades!"

"Phosphora!" Phosphora joined.

"Phosphora!" Viridi scolded.

"Arlon?"

"Phosphora," Arlon addressed.

"Viridi!"

"Chrom!" Viridi growled.

"Orange?" Chrom said, confused,

"Chrom?" Orange replied.

"Shut up and fight!" Viridi yelled.

"Certainly, Rosebud. But now that I've enhanced my powers by demolishing the fourth wall, hm...I think I want to do things a bit differently!" Hades said as he snapped his fingers and the world became distorted and eventually faded to white.

























:rainbowhuh: What's going on? Where's everyone else? Why are there only three of us!?

:pinkiecrazy: Glad you asked, Rosebud. I'm taking you on a tour through reality. Now, Pitty-Pat...I believe you deserve a SPANKING!

:flutterrage: Hades, in the name of goo-:fluttershbad: Wait, why do I get this one!?

:rainbowwild: It fits you well, Pit! Hahaha!

:fluttershyouch: Who's side are you on?! W

o

:pinkiecrazy: Bye, bye, Pitty-Pat

:flutterrage: Take this, Hades!

Uuuuuu
Uuuuugh

Uuuuuugh

Ouch! That hurt

Piiiiiiii
iiiiity! :pinkiesick:

:pinkiecrazy: Time for a change of pace!


Pit and Viridi found themselves in two go-karts with Hades leading the race. They appeared to be on a road made of rainbows. Bellow it, a dark chasm.

"Mario Kart!?" Viridi exclaimed. The goddess of nature drove into a crystal box, which gave her a blue shell.

"Well, that's not good," Hades snapped his fingers but not before Viridi threw the shell at Hades's cart, causing him to explode.


Hades and Viridi stood over a giant metallic pit with the former in purple robotic armor.

"The annoyance is strong with you, but you're not a hinderance yet!" Hades shoved his palm in front of Viridi.

"W-was that supposed to do anything?" Viridi said, looking around.

"No, it was a distraction so I could do this!" Hades kicked Pit, who was sneaking up behind him, into a giant machine. A robotic arm pulled him up, but frozen in corbonite.

"Okay, so you froze Pit. Is that your only trick up your sleeve?!"

"Actually, I've wanted to tell you something. Rosebud, I am your father!"

"Goddesses don't have fathers."

"I should change the scene before this gets anymore awkward."

"Yeah."


"This is HadeTron! And welcome to another episode where me and my pet bird, Viridi..." Hades said, wearing a purple coat and having his green hair curled. Viridi was transformed into a small parrot.

"I'm not your....PET!" Viridi whined, biting Hades's ear.

"Nnnngh!"

Pit burst into the room, now free from the corbonite, with a new hairstyle involving a yellow streak in the middle.

"It's no use, Hades! You're finished!" Pit warned.

"You interfere once, I'm mad. Interfere twice, how could you? Interfere three times, you're officially th-OOOF!" Pit punched Hades in the face with all his might, leaving a bruise upon his face. The angel tackled Hades and wrestled with him out the door. "Perhaps choosing a human form wasn't the best idea." Hades, once again snapped his fingers.


"*do you want to have a less than desirable experience, rosebud?" Hades joked, now in a purple jacket and in white slippers.

Pit was now in a striped sweater and Viridi was...a flower. Hades snapped his fingers, trapping him in a small box.

"Heeeeeelp!" Pit screamed.

"Pit!" Viridi said, trying to move, but as a flower, it seemed all but impossible. Hades forced Pit to run through millions of obstacles. Skull-shaped laser guns, skeleton bones and his foot. Pit jumped from left to right as Hades tried to slam him into the ground.

Viridi concentrated on Hades with all her might, and to her surprise, a giant spiked vine came out of nowhere and ran through Hades.

9999

"*oh....you....little..." Hades snapped his fingers while the other one clutched his chest, clearly in pain.


Viridi found herself in a quiet forest. It was filled with grass and flowers. It seemed peaceful. Suddenly a gunshot was heard. Hades appeared with a sniper rifle.

Phosphora randomly appeared on a tree stump and began to sing.

"What a shock. As warriors fight and they mock." Phosphora sang.

Pit tried hitting Hades with a bow and arrow but Hades merely moved to the right.

"I give my dreams, not for romance, but for me!" Phosphora belt out. "I'm still tired, Pitty-Pat!"

Viridi ran up to Hades and punched him. Hades pulled the trigger and shot Viridi.

"Mm! Whatcha saaaayyy! Mm that you only meant well!" Phosphora sang.

Pit, through a stroke of luck saw the Great Sacred Treasure. He ran with the speed of a cheeta before Hades shot him too.

"I'M FINISHED!" Pit wailed as he fell down. Viridi watched with horror as he closed his eyes and lay down in the grass for eternal rest. "Viridi....t-take this. R-return....to Skyworld.....vict-" With his last breath Pit handed the main cannon of the Great Sacred Treasure to Viridi.

"YOU.....YOU...." Viridi shouted angrily. She charged up the main cannon and fired with all her might. Hades's head was hit by the blast and it revealed his true face: A big blue ball of fire. His eyes grew heavy, his life force being slowly drained. Hades's body was fading away. He breathed heavily.

"........PHOENIX DOWN!" Hades said as he pulled out a Phoenix Down but Viridi called upon a vine to snatch it away. "Oh dear...well I still have the author!" Hades...."Wait!"....died...."NO!"....a slow...."DON'T!".....painful...."STOP!".....death...."AAAAAAGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" Viridi took a well deserved sigh of relief. She then ran over to Pit's broken body.

"Pit!" Viridi cradled Pit's body and cried her eyes out. Seeing a once heroic yet naïve angel dead. After all they've been through. And it was all because of her. "Pit, we won. We beat him. We can go home. Palutena....will be waiting...to celebrate! With hot springs!" Viridi said, her voice breaking. But Pit didn't reply. "Oh, Pit!" Viridi weeped into Pit's tunic.

"Hey! Wait a sec..." Viridi took out a Phoenix Down from the vine and force fed it to Pit. His eyes opened with happiness.

"I'm back in the...." Pit stopped to fix his laurel crown, "...game! Wait...Viridi, did you just...revive me?!"

"Um...ye-"

"Does that mean you're a ts-"

"I'M NOT A TSUNDERE!" Viridi boomed. "Anyways, it's nice to have you back, Pit." Viridi's voice softened. "Let's go meet up with the others." Viridi snapped her fingers and the world faded to white.

"Wait! I'm still here!" Phosphora said, catching up to the two.

Wait, if he broke the fourth wall, maybe the comments now power the story. Viridi, take this.
*THROWS WARP STAR, B-BOMB (the red one from brawl) AND INVINCIBILITY STAR*

"You're a bit late," Phosphora informed.
