After an accident involving a Lightning Chariot joyride, Viridi, Goddess Of Nature, ends up in Equestria. She soon finds herself in a conflict with a newly revived Hades, Lord Of The Underworld who has his own plans for Equestria.

Kid Icarus belongs to Nintendo and so do other Nintendo characters mentioned in the story.
"How dare that poor excuse for a Pokémon to decline my offer," Viridi huffed. Rejection was a thing she did not take well. In fact, there were very few things she could take well. She sat down on her noble plant-covered throne and growled in anger. "All he had to say was no! But he had to go on a telepathic rant that gave even my brain a run for its money," She yelled to herself. Although Viridi was a goddess, of nature in fact, there was little she could do about others. Still, it was tempting to interfere with the lives of others, but that would cause more trouble from Palutena, the goddess of light. And the last thing Viridi wanted was another war like the one twenty five years ago. Unless it meant getting rid of the humans once and for all.
Viridi looked around at her garden of a palace. There was so many beauties to behold. Vines that stretched from wall to wall and flowers that were as colorful as an artist's easel. The goddess loved looking at them, but all it reminded her was of the humans who would cut down wonders of life like these in an instant.
"I wish I could just start over with humans and this Earth for that matter," Viridi groaned.
Suddenly, her new commander, Dark Pit appeared and barged in on the goddess of nature.
"You like to talk to yourself, huh," Dark Pit chuckled.
"That's none of your business! Just because you are my commander doesn't mean you get to do whatever you want," Viridi scolded.
"Really? I was under the impression that it does," Dark Pit smirked. Viridi groaned and pulled her hair violently.
"Don't you have some commanding to do?" Viridi grumbled.
"Actually, I was just going to tell you that Phosphora took the Lightning Chariot for a spin without your permission," Dark Pit explained.
"Why that little rebellious snake!" Viridi shouted as she stood up from her throne. She then slumped back into her chair of green and made first contact with hand and face. "I swear, sometimes I hate my commanders more than I hate the enemy," Viridi whispered through her hand.
"Woo hoo!" Phosphora yelled as she zoomed through the sky as quick as an arrow. Her two horses pulled the Lightning Chariot to the ends of the universe and back. "C'mon! Faster! Faster!" Phosphora cheered. Suddenly a giant light rose up from the ground. Out came a humongous illusion of Viridi, looking as furious as ever.
"Phosphora! We only use that on special occasions," Viridi yelled.
"Oh but this is a special occasion! I got bored," Phosphora smirked.
"YOU PULLED OUT THE FASTEST CHARIOT IN THE UNIVERSE JUST BECAUSE YOU WERE BORED!?" Viridi boomed.
"Uh huh," Phosphora replied, calmly.
"You come down to the temple this instant!" Viridi commanded.
"If you say so," Phosphora said playfully. The Lightning Chariot shot down to Viridi's Temple, faster than the speed of sound. Viridi was standing outside the temple, tapping her foot and preparing to give Phosphora a serious scolding. One of which has never been scolded before. Phosphora arrived at the temple, only for Viridi to find that she was still in the chariot and the horses were still moving.
"Phosphora!? I said come down," Viridi said, surprised.
"You said come down, you didn't say to stop," Phosphora yelled as she and the chariot approached Viridi. The reckless goddess prepared to command the horses to go over Viridi, but she underestimated the speed of them. By the time she spoke the words, it was too late.
"Phosphora!? What are you...AGHHH!" Viridi said as she was hit by the horses and flung towards the sky like a rocket.
"V-Viridi?" Phosphora screamed, ashamed of what she had done. Viridi continued to soar uncontrollably out of the atmosphere. Suddenly, Viridi's vision went fuzzy and eventually, she was unable to see anything. Soon, she could stand no longer and passed out while she was still in motion.
"Is it alive?" Viridi felt a slight tug on her hair, which caused her to begin to regain consciousness.
"Be careful! Don't hurt it!" Viridi awoke to see two multicolored horses examining her. One was a mint colored unicorn and the other was a plain horse with a blue and pink mane. Viridi appeared to be in a small cottage with a few tables around her. She spotted a few knives, pots and pans around her. Her first thought was that these horses were carnivorous.
"Gah!" Viridi screeched.
"AHHHHHH!" The green unicorn screamed back. Viridi waved her hand upwards and the root of a tree burst out from under the ground. It crashed through the floor, tangled itself around the unicorn and covered her entire body like a cocoon.
"Now...you're going to tell me...just what in my name is going on here," Viridi panted to the other horse.
"B-but...," The other horse stuttered. Viridi put her hand in front of the horse.
"Your move," Viridi threatened.
"Just let me say something! Okay!? You want an explanation? I'll give you an explanation! Alright," The horse frantically said.
"I'm listening...,"
"My name is Bon Bon. This unicorn you're holding captive is Lyra. You came down and crashed into Lyra's house. See," Bon Bon explained as she pointed towards the ceiling. In the place of a roof, there was a giant hole in the shape of Viridi's body. "Lyra here has been studying humans an-"
"Humans? ...did you just say humans?" Viridi snapped.
"Um...yes,"
"Why on Earth are you studying humans of all creatures?!" Viridi exploded with anger.
"Aren't you a human?"
"Oh goodness no. I am the goddess of nature. I hate humans....they are such disrespectful creatures," Viridi complained.
"If you hate humans, why do you look like one?" Bon Bon asked, gesturing Viridi's body.
"I....don't know." Viridi said, dumbstruck in realization. "SAKURAIII!" Viridi screamed to the sky.
"Whoa! Whoa! Calm down," Bon Bon said as she backed away from the angry goddess.
"Calm down!? I wake up in a world of talking horses and I just found a flaw in my character design! How can this day get any weirder?!"
"I don't know! I'm just as clueless as you are! But you got all the info you can get out of me and it's time to let Lyra go," Bon Bon retaliated.
"Fine," Viridi said as she snapped her fingers and the roots started to unravel back into the ground.. All that was left was a surprised Lyra.
"Omygoshomygoshareyouahuman? I'vebeenstudyingyourraceforsuchalon-" Lyra squealed as she began examining Viridi like a child on Christmas.
"So, how's your evolution going?" Viridi asked, ignoring Lyra.
"Who is your leader? Do you really drive cars? Do you all cosplay as us at ComicCon?" Lyra asked the very much annoyed Viridi as she and Bon Bon walked along a path around Ponyville. The goddess was no stranger to loud-mouthed goofballs but she did have her limits.
"Bon Bon, if you can't make your friend shut up, I'm going to have a heart attack!" Viridi said, covering her ears.
"Lyra! Contain your enthusiasm," Bon Bon commanded.
Lyra immediately stopped talking and blushed; angering a human was not first on her priority list. "Sorry," Lyra apologized.
"That's okay. And for the record I am a goddess not a human," Viridi explained with pride.
"And we are ponies, not horses," Bon Bon pointed out.
"Then what exactly do horses look like in your world?" Viridi questioned.
"Bigger ponies," Bon Bon shrugged.
"And...your entire population is mostly...ponies," Viridi said as she scratched her head.
"Yeah. Mostly. There are some dragons, griffins and other things but..."
"No humans? No wars? No nothing?" Viridi asked with wonder.
"Well, there is the local bad guy trying to take over the world, but it's mostly peaceful here,"
"Sounds like paradi-What is that?" Viridi exclaimed as she saw an orange pony with golden hair and a cowboy hat prepare to kick a tree with her hooves. To the pony, it was a daily routine. To Viridi, she was about to commit murder.
"A-one. A-two. A-one two three," The pony said as she pulled back her hooves.
"Wait!" Viridi yelled as she teleported in between the pony and the tree. The pony was startled by this sudden appearance by the goddess.
"Just who the hay are you...or for that matter, what the hay are you?" The pony asked.
"Who am I? Who do you think you are?" Viridi retaliated. "You were about to commit murder to this perfectly healthy tree," she accused while hugging the tree like a mother would a child.
"But it's my job. My name's Applejack and we here at Sweet Apple Acres farm apples. Y'see, this here tree gives us apples. We buck em' to get the apples down," Applejack protested.
"That's still interfering with nature as a whole! You could just pick up the apples gently instead of...well this! Just what idiotic complete mess of a creature assigned you this task?" Viridi said, pointing to the tree.
"Princess Celestia," Applejack said proudly. Viridi gave a understanding gesture to the farmer and nodded twice. She then teleported back to Bon Bon afterwards.
"Who's Princess Celestia?" Viridi whispered.
"She's our ruler. She raises the sun," Bon Bon whispered back. Viridi gave her companion a look as if she was trying to figure out if she was insane or not.
"What did you just say about the sun?" Viridi asked.
"And she's the one in charge?" Viridi said angrily.
"What's wrong?"
"What's wrong? You can't just raise the sun! Last time we had someone raise the sun, he went insane and tried to kill everybody," Viridi explained.
"I'm sure Princess Celestia would never do that."
"How can you be so sure? Hm?" Viridi said suspiciously. "I'm going to meet this 'Princess Celestia' myself!"
"How can you assume somepony with power is going to kill everypony without a reason? I mean when was the last time you did something like that?" Bon Bon retaliated.
"Hm..."
"Good riddance, human scum! The world's better off without you! Muahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!"
"Can't remember," Viridi chuckled nervously.
"How are you even going to meet Princess Celestia? She is a princess after all," Bon Bon reasoned.
"I'm a goddess. I have my ways," Viridi said as she snapped her fingers and disappeared at the blink of an eye.
Back at Viridi's temple, things were....hectic to say the least. Phosphora did her best to cover up the scene as best she could. She even went as so far as to replace the dirt marks entirely. It had appeared as if there was no way anyone could possibly figure out there was an accident here. Unless of course, someone was watching the entire time. Unfortunately for the young goddess, a tall, dignified man wearing a dark cloak approached Phosphora.
"Miss Phosphora," He said, tapping the goddess on the shoulder.
"Eeek!" Phosphora screeched, shocked at the sudden tap. She turned around in fear, only to see that it was Viridi's loyal servant, Arlon The Serene. "Oh! It's just you, Arlon!" That was a close call...I thought it was someone like Cragalanche! Seriously. I am never playing poker with that guy. Again. Period, Phosphora thought to herself.
"Whatever, may I ask, are you doing here?" Arlon asked, raising his eyebrow suspiciously.
"I was...just...doing...garden work!" Yeah! That's a great excuse!
"Garden work for a goddess who can control the very earth around her?" Dang! That's a horrible excuse!
"Oh! Yeah! Well...Viridi...is on a vacation!" Please buy it. Please buy it. Please buy it. Please buy it.
"A vacation to where?" Oh forget you, Arlon!
"To...space!" Phosphora wasn't exactly lying, but she wasn't telling the whole truth either.
"To do what, exactly?" Ugh. Nobody expects the Arlon Inquisition.
"Um...goddess stuff," Phosphora said putting her hands behind her back, guiltily. This increased Arlon's suspicions. For some reason, Phosphora was lying to him and he was determined to find out what.
"What kind of 'goddess stuff'?" Something tells me Arlon would be the champ at Guess Who.
"Really....busy...goddess stuff." Arlon glared at the goddess for what seemed like an eternity. It felt like every second Arlon glared, a drop of sweat dripped down Phosphora's face. Don't sweat. Don't sweat. It'll make you seem suspicious. Wait...I'm a goddess. How can I sweat?
"I shall keep a keen eye on you. Don't forget that." Arlon walked away, leaving the poor goddess shaking in immortal terror. He walked back into the temple, chuckling to himself. "So...Rosebud took a little vacation," Arlon said as his voice started to change.
"I'm sure she won't mind if I offer her a little company..."
Being a princess wasn't easy; Celestia knew this for a fact. As such, three other princesses helped, but every once in a while, Celestia liked to relax. The white allicorn, had a room specifically made for the purpose. It included a cozy fire, a reclining chair and pink flower petals scattered around the room.
"Wait...flower petals?" Celestia thought. The princess heard a clapping noise from behind her. She turned around to see that the noise came from a mysterious, almost alien figure with golden hair in a beautiful red dress.
"What the..!? Excuse me, I don't quite underst-" The confused princess replied.
"That's your name, right?" Viridi interrupted , scratching her head.
"No, my dear. I'm afraid it's Celestia," Celestia chuckled. She thought maybe that this could very well be somepony's idea of a prank.
"Oh ha ha ha! Laugh it up! But know this, Cullustia!"
"Celestia."
"Whatever! It just so happens I have a beef with you," Viridi growled.
"Tell me, what ill will have I done?" Celestia said, suddenly dropping her joyful tone. She knew anger when she saw it. But she had never met this...thing before in her entire life. What could she have done?
"You and your subjects are making a world that's wrong in so many ways!" Viridi ranted.
"For instance?"
"Like for instance, your interruption with the natural course of nature!"
"May I ask you to be more specific?"
"The sun."
"I take it you're new here?"
"Did the dress give it away?" Viridi asked sarcastically. "If you'll be as so kind as to resign...I can take it from here," Viridi made a contract out of thin air and gave it to a very confused Celestia.
"I'm...sorry, Miss..."
"Viridi. And you'll do well to remember it."
"Well then, Miss Viridi, I have no future plans of resigning from my post as princess of Equestria and I certainly will not enact yours."
"Excellent! I'll j-WHAT!?" Viridi yelled in outrage.
"I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I can't let you take over my position,"
"Why...you...." Viridi snarled. "If you won't resign, I'll just have to do it the hard way!" Suddenly, a bright light shined throughout the entire room. It was blinding to both of them. "Wha? Wait...it can't be..." Viridi said, astonished.
A beautiful woman with green hair appeared in the middle of the room. She gave a stern look at Viridi and opened her mouth to speak.
"Viridi," she addressed.
"Palutena? What are you doing here!?" Viridi asked.
"I would like to know as w-" Celestia cried.
"I could ask you the same thing. First you interfere with human lives, now you interfere with a species that's not even in your domain. I know that you're better than this," Palutena scolded.
"Pffft! I'm doing them a favor. You wouldn't understand..." Viridi pouted.
"Viridi, I'm sure we can work this ou-"
"No! Do you know how long I've watched as the planet hurdles faster and faster towards annihilation like a speeding bullet? Yet, whoop de do, I'm given another chance on a planet not yet completely ruined."
"That still doesn't give you permission to resurrect the ruler of the Underworld!" Palutena snapped.
"May I just say som-" Celestia said, feeling like a bystander in the middle of a boxing match.
"Well I think.....wait. Did you just say the ruler of the Underworld was resurrected? As in Hades was resurrected?!" Viridi gasped.
"You mean...you didn't bring Hades back?"
"Why would I bring him back? He was as much a pain in my side as he was in yours!"
"Well, then how did he get into this world, or even be still alive for that matter?"
"Didn't I say I'd be back?" A new voice entered the room. Both Palutena and Viridi searched the room in hopes of finding the owner of this mystery voice.
"Ugh! Show yourself already!" Viridi screamed.
"It's good to see you too, Little Goddess. And you too, Pretty Palutena."
"Only one deity uses nicknames as bad as those," Palutena remarked.
"Hades..." Viridi exclaimed.
"Just how many of there are you?" Celestia asked.
"That's right! What has it been? 25 years already? We didn't even get an anniversary celebration. Aw. That's sad. But you know what isn't? My absolutely tremendous revenge plot!" Hades sneered.
"Seriously? We beat you before. We can do it again," Viridi boasted.
"Oh? I'm awfully looking forward to seeing you try. I've got popcorn and everything. See you later anyways. Not that you can see me! Ciao!" Hades, or at least his voice, left the room leaving worried expressions on the trio's faces. Viridi and Palutena remembered exactly what horror occurred the last time Hades had his "fun". Celestia however, did not have the slightest idea of what in the world was going on."What are we going to do?" Palutena thought aloud.
"W-what!? You're Palutena, the Goddess Of Light! Saving the world from bad guys is your shtick!" Viridi exclaimed.
"Well, I was only able to transport myself to your position thanks to my one of a kind 'Super Sensor'! I did sense Hades near here but I thought you would be more reasonable."
"You basically used GPS to follow me? That's...creepy on so many levels," Viridi said nervously.
"Hey! You're the one who went missing!" Palutena retaliated.
"Oh, so getting hit by a Lightning Chariot is my fault now?"
"Ugh..." Celestia murmured. "This is going to be a long day, isn't it?"
Oh? You were expecting your narrator? What a terrible shame. Now, that I'm back and better than ever, I can go back to tormenting poor Pretty Palutena and Rosebud. You're probably wondering who I am if you've been living under a rock. Nevertheless, let me introduce myself as Hades, The Lord Of The Underworld. It's going to be ever so much fun with you around. Yes, I am indeed talking to you and your precious precious little screen. Aren't you just adorable and unsuspecting? When my world and this dreadfully colorful universe is mine to control......you'll be neeeeeexxxt. And let me offer a challenge for you: Find out what's going on with no context! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ciao!"
"Hey! Who turned off the lights!? Palutena, was that you!?"
"I'm the goddess of light, not darkness. This must be the work of Hades."
"I've not a clue what's going on here, but you two must explain yourselves."
"Unfortunately, it seems Hades followed me here and stuck his ugly nose into my business!"
"OW!"
"My apologies."
"Will someone just turn on the lights!?"
"I believe there's a door to your right, Miss Viridi."
"Ugh....it won't budge!"
"Even I can't illuminate this room. It looks like we're at the mercy of Hades for now."
"Right you are, Pretty Palutena!"
"Well!"
"Oh fine, if you're going to be like that. Let there be light!"
"HADES, WHAT DID YOU DO!?"
"What in the world of Equestria!?"
"D-Donkey Kong!?"
"I thought a nice game would cheer you up!"
"NOT WHEN IT'S FULL SCALE!"
"Avoid all the barrels, and I just might give you a nice cake!"
"He's obviously lying."
"Well, if you don't trust me so much, Pretty Palutena, why don't I let the author come in."
"The author?!"
"Just stay here and do as I say."
Y-y-yes, H-h-hades....
Now where were we? Ah yes.
Palutena and Viridi jumped as quickly as they could over the barrels, while Celestia simply flew over with ease.
"Whoopsie daisy. New challenger approaching."
Suddenly, the lights went out again. To the right of the girls, a familiar logo with fire appeared.
"This all seems so familiar..." Palutena commented.
A dark figure appeared as the setting slowly changed to the Underworld. In place of a clean and tidy room, a giant purple platform standing alone with no way to get down. It seemed like the time was at sunset: the perfect time for a battle.
"Don't forget about me."
HADES MAKES FREAKY ALIEN LEMONADE!
"Ahem."
INTO THE....BATTLE?
"Much better," Hades said as he kicked Viridi in the stomach. His size had changed from his normally huge state to be more suitable for "smashing", as he likes to call it.
"Ow! What is with you people and kicking in the stomach!" Viridi yelled.
"I'm truly sorry for all this trouble. If only I had known..." Palutena apologized to Celestia.
"Um....were you saying something?" Celestia said as she watched, almost hypnotized by the excitement on the battlefield. Hades continued kicking Viridi like an angry kung fu fighter.
ALSO PLAY AS THE FEMALE HADES!
"Female Hades!?" Viridi said before shortly being pummeled on back and forth like a soccer ball by both the male and female Hades....es..."Owowowowowowowoowowowowowowowow!"
"Having..." Hades said.
"...Fun?" The female Hades continued.
"NO!" Viridi answered angrily.
"You're enjoying this?" Palutena asked Celestia as she made some popcorn out of thin air to share.
"Aren't you?" Celestia giggled.
Hades then proceeded to kick Viridi out of the stage, while his Rule 63'd clone disappeared into dust.
"This is why you weren't in Smash and were replaced by that ugly lookalike!" Hades said, floating in the air. Viridi descended back down to the platform, blazing with fury. Her hair was practically on fire. Her eyes sizzled with anger.
"That's IT! I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF YOUR....YOUR SHENANIGANS!" Viridi blurted.
"Oh my." It was at that point, Hades knew...he screwed up.
Viridi raised her hand, as if commanding an army, and a gigantic vine popped out from under the ground and grabbed ahold of Hades like a snake with its prey. Her hand moved back and forth to give the directions to where the vine should slam Hades.
"Gggrragh!" Hades broke free from the vine with a boom. "You may have won the day this time, Rosebud, but I'll be back to torment you and Pretty Palutena next time! Ciao! Ha ha!" Hades disappeared without a trace, leaving the room back in it's original state.
"Viridi...I..." Palutena started.
"Just...s-stay out of my way!" Viridi snapped her fingers and she too was gone.
"Well, there goes one potential alliance..." Palutena lamented.
"A house divided cannot stand," Celestia added.
"Lincoln?"
"What? No, I was merely quoting Starswirl The Bearded."
"I'm sure you must have much to teach me about your world."
"I was just about to say the same to you....Palutena, was it?"
In a distant world, a prince stood over a cliff as he watched a great battle.
"Perhaps I'll get my chance another day," he sighed.
"No..."
The prince looked over his shoulder to see a frightening sight.
Bon Bon had a very satisfying day. She had brunch with her best friend, bought some milk from the store, and stopped an angry goddess from rampaging through the town. Or so she thought.
"Lon Lon!" Viridi said as she appeared out of thin air, her face as red as a freshly grown tomato.
"Bon Bon," Bon Bon replied.
"Whatever!" Viridi grabbed her hair and pulled it in anger. "Do you know what I've been through!? I have been humiliated and made a fool of by your leader! Is this some kind of joke, Ton Ton? Because I'm not laughing!"
"Okay, first of all, if you're going to crash my house, you could at least remember my name. And two, you can't just interfere with our way of life like that. Gods or not, you guys have no right to say your way is right."
"You're on a path to self-destruction! You need me!"
"Then teach us."
"You wouldn't listen! You would be just like the humans! Ignorant! Lazy! Uncommiting! Instead of saving the world, they'd rather read some story on the internet that isn't even true!"
"Viridi, listen to me. We're not humans. We're like humans but not. If these humans are anything like you say they are; lazy and uncomitting, then, yeah. We're like that. We have flaws, we have weaknesses. But you do too."
"W-what!?"
"You have a short temper, a tendency to meddle in business not your own and you jump to extreme measures quickly. You're more human than us."
Viridi tried to open her mouth and find words for a snappy comeback but none came. She was....right. If humans were destroying the world without even trying, then how is trying to commit genocide with good intentions any better? Viridi looked to the right, then back to Bon Bon and closed her eyes with shame.
"I'm sorry."
"It's okay."
Viridi's eyes suddenly opened.
"Huh? But, I tried t-"
"Shush. It's what friends are for!"
Viridi gave Bon Bon a look.
"We're friends?"
"Sure. Now how about I get you a nice cup of tea." Bon Bon left to the now cleaned kitchen, leaving Viridi to grab a seat next to a small table with a potted sunflower on top. She stared at it and petted it gently with her fingers as if it was her pet.
"If....I had known...these....these ponies were so much different and...better than...them..." Viridi sighed, "...I would've left my world a long time ago."
"Viridi, you're talking to a plant." Viridi abruptly turned to the right, embarrassed to see Bon Bon returning with two cups of tea.
"Don't you know it's rude to interrupt someone's sillioquy? Then it becomes a monologue and that's just not the same! Buuuut since I'm in such a good mood as of late, I'll give you a free pass."
"Give me a free pass? You're the one who was talking to a sunflower!" Bon Bon chuckled.
"Yeah, well, sunflowers have feelings too!" Viridi smirked.
"Oh what's it gonna do? Assault me?"
"That's actually happened in other dimensions, or so I'm told," Viridi said leaning further back in her chair. Bon Bon froze at the thought of sunflowers coming alive and attacking her, but she quickly changed the topic.
"So, um, what did happen with Princess Celestia?" Bon Bon said, handing Viridi her tea and getting ready to drink hers.
"Oh! Um....you may have a slight...problem." Viridi looked a bit nervous.
"What's that?"
Viridi took a deep breath and prepared to tell Bon Bon the news.
"The megalomaniac known as Hades, Lord Of The Underworld, followed me here and wants to take over your world as well as all the worlds in the multiverse."
Bon Bon's eyes grew larger and she spit out the tea she had been drinking.
"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!? We gotta do something about it!" Bon Bon said, getting up from her seat.
"No, no no. Palutena will take care of it. She's the Goddess Of Light in our world. Palutena stopped Hades before, she can do it again. Except...I don't think Pit's here..." Viridi explained, recollecting that if it were not for Pit, captain of Palutena's Army, Hades would have been alive the last 25 years.
"Still, we have to do something! Come on!" Bon Bon took Viridi forcefully by the hand and dragged her towards the door, when it was knocked down in front of them. A human with blue hair, a dashing face, royal clothing, and shadowy eyes that emitted a dark aura, appeared. "What in the wide world of Equestria!?"
"Wait....I know you..." Viridi yelled. "You're...the dork from th-"
The man pulled out a legendary golden sword with a hole at the edge, unmistakable as the mythical Falchion and slashed at Viridi with all his might. Bon Bon pulled Viridi out of the way without hesitation.
"You'll.....You'll.....YOU'LL TASTE THE BITTERNESS OF DEFEAT!" The man shouted.
"Who is that guy?! A friend of yours?" Bon Bon asked, huffing and puffing.
"As if! He's a reject prince from the Smash Tournament," Viridi answered.
"Like....you...." The prince growled.
"His name is Chrom. But...he's different!" Viridi said, ignoring Chrom's remark. "It's like he's under some sort of spell!"
"Oh, so you can remember his name but not mine?!" Bon Bon quipped.
"Working on it!" Viridi said as she ran with Bon Bon from Chrom's next attack.
Chrom's sword recklessly swung towards Viridi as she run throughout Bon Bon's home, holding its owner's hoof the whole time. It bashed into multiple portraits and furniture as destructively as a tornado.
"Now I'm angry!" Chrom yelled.
"Really? Couldn't tell!" Viridi said sarcastically as she dodged a flurry of slashes. With every strike, Falchion's edge grew closer and closer. Eventually, Bon Bon and Viridi were pinned against the wall with no possible way to escape. All seemed lost.
"Um...Viridi?" Bon Bon whimpered.
"Yes?"
"If I die first, tell Lyra I..." Before Bon Bon could finish her supposed last words, Chrom had a look of unimaginable pain and fainted right in front of them. His fall revealed Lyra, standing there while telekineticly holding a large tree branch.
"Tell me what?" Lyra asked. Viridi and Bon Bon siamotainously let out a long sigh of relief. "Also! Is it ok if I get a strand of his hair!? Opportunities like this don't just fall out of the sky!"
"Sure, Lyra. I know how much your research means to you."
"Sweet! You're coming with me to the basement, big guy!" Lyra grabbed the unconscious Chrom and took him down the stairs into a small room, squealing the whole way there.
"That was a close one..." Viridi said, rubbing her head.
"So, this Hades character is sending assassins after you?" Bon Bon questioned.
"A-apparently."
"Well...we'd better head down to check on Lyra to make sure she doesn't do anything too crazy. Maybe we can even get some information out of him!" Bon Bon said, trotting in the direction Lyra was headed. Viridi followed.
Viridi and Bon Bon arrived in a dark room. On the walls lay ancient portraits of what Viridi could only assume were humans and sketches of what they might have looked like, done by Lyra herself. Though a few parts were off, like the two noses and the six eyes, it was pretty accurate. A grand chandelier hung from the ceiling that sparkled like the sun. The two spotted Lyra in the room with the most light. She was writing on a piece of paper and would occasionally look up at Chrom, who lay down on the desk in front of her, nude. Don't worry, I won't go into detail.
""As I suspected. The nose doesn't go on the bottom! Wait, no. I was wrong," Lyra mumbled.
"Lyra! For my sake, put some clothes on him!" Viridi said, covering her eyes and blushing.
"I'm afraid I can't do that, Miss Viridi," Lyra said, walking towards her and picking up reading glasses from the counter next to her. "Research must be done! For science!" She posed like a superheroine in front of the two confused girls. ".....for science!" The two only looked at each other. "Science!"
"Okay, we get it! Now put some pants on him!"
"Fine...." Lyra sighed. She outfitted Chrom with the clothes he wore beforehand with great effort. "There! Happy?!" Suddenly, Chrom's eyes opened. Amazingly, they had returned to normal. Bon Bon immediately grabbed onto Lyra with fear. "It's woken!" Lyra exclaimed.
"Wh-where am I?" Chrom mumbled.
"Lyra, you must've beaten the sense back into him!" Bon Bon said, letting go of the anthropologist. "Even his shadow eyes are gone!" Viridi, however, was less convinced. She summoned her staff out of thin air and pointed it at the exalt.
"Who are you working for!?" Viridi shouted.
"I...I'm sorry, I can't seem to remember a thing. I only remember seeing Robin partake in a glorious battle, but...that's it. My mind's a total blank," Chrom replied.
"He's been brainwashed! Believe me! It's happened to me before!" Lyra explained.
"Viridi, if Lyra's right..." Bon Bon began.
"Which I am," Lyra gloated.
"Then, the true mastermind must be H-"
"The Chaos Kin!!" Viridi answered.
"Um...no. I was thinking of Hades. He's probably going around hypnotizing assassins to take you and Celestia down! I wouldn't be surprised if one showed up at our door right now!"
"If it's not too much trouble, I'd like to help you. If it wasn't for you, I'd still be under that dastard's control. I'm in your gratitude," Chrom said as he bowed.
"Just try not to be a total dork," Viridi teased.
"You certainly remind me a lot of my younger sister."
Lyra suddenly noticed something dripping from her head.
"Ew...gross!" Lyra said, wiping the substance from her mane.
"That's weird." Bon Bon examined the mystery liquid closer. "It looks kind of like...ink!" She was surprised to see that the same type of ink covered the ground near the door and left a trail that led to the ceiling.
"Ink? Oh no...." Viridi whispered as she looked above her to see a little girl with what looked like orange hair in a white t-shirt hanging from the chandelier. She was armed with a gun that had orange ink dripping from its edge. The girl had some sort of electronic collar around her neck. Her eyes were shadowy like a cold winter's night.
"Stay fresh, suckers!" The girl said as transformed from a kid to a squid and back again, jumping onto the floor. "Who wants some!?"
"Another human?" Bon Bon said, bewildered.
"That's no human!" Lyra yelped, as she skimmed through her notes for reference.
The Inkling stood there, walking towards the group and showing off her prized Splattershot Jr: A weapon of pure destruction, but mostly ink.
"Now listen here, Octoheads, I, Orange, master assassin, have been offered ten billion zapfishes in exchange for that slimy hipster over there! So unless you dudes want a crusin' for a brusin', I suggest you get the heck outta here! You're lucky I'm warning you with this Inkling Translator, or you'd already be splatted!" Orange threatened.
"What's a zapfish?" Lyra whispered to Viridi.
"It's like their power supply, like lightbulbs," Viridi replied.
"Oh. Do humans have zapfish?"
"It's just a child. Unless it's a Manakete, it can't be that harmful," Chrom said, laying down Falchion. Orange's eyes were filled with fury, unlike anything anyone had seen.
"What...the squid did you just squidding say about me, you little Octonut!? I'll have you know, I've made it to Level 50 in terms of freshness, I've been involved in secret raids on Octo Valley and I have over 300 confirmed Turf War wins! I AM TRAINED IN INK WARFARE! YOU'RE SQUIDDING DEAD, SQUIDDO! I'M THE TOP SN-" Orange screamed at the top of her lungs before being smacked in the face by a vine that instantly came out of the ground. "What the scallop!?" The vine curled around her arms and forced her to repeatedly hit herself in the face with her own fist. Viridi, meanwhile, moved her hand back and forth to signal where the vine should move with a smug look on her face like a poker player with a flush.
"Why are you hitting yourself? Why are you hitting yourself?" Viridi asked, playfully.
"I...don't...know!" Orange replied.
"Viridi, let her go! She's just a kid!" Bon Bon begged.
"And a squid! Ow!" Orange remarked.
"I was thinking that maybe if we smack her enough times, we can knock her back to her senses, like we did with princey here," Viridi explained.
"You're having fun with this, aren't you," Bon Bon said, lifting a brow.
"Yes."
"It's not working, is it?"
"No."
"Perhaps I might try to talk some sense into her," Chrom said, walking towards Orange.
"Whaddya want, you crusty calamari!?" Orange said, fighting to stop her arm.
"I just wanted to ask something. Do you have any friends? Any allies?"
"Yeah! My and me team are the roughest Inklings in Inkopolis! And once I call for backup, you're gonna be so sorry you even looked at me!"
"Well, then, what would this team of yours think of you, attempting murder on this lady?" Orange's eyes suddenly transformed from angry to somewhat sad. The dark aura coming from her eyes leaked less and less.
"W-well, they'd be okay with it because we splat people everyday! And they always come back!" Orange reassured.
"Well, she can't come back. And neither can I. In real battle, every life counts. Losing an ally is one of the harshest punishments a leader can take. That's the reality your world doesn't seem to have. I almost envy you," Chrom lamented. Orange found herself touched by Chrom's speech. Her dark aura was replaced with tears.
"I-I'm sorrrryyyyyyyyy!" Orange weeped.
"You can let her go now, milady," Chrom said. Viridi reluctantly released Orange as she ran into Chrom, weeping like a baby.
"I-I'm sorry...I'm sorry! I just wanted the zapfishes! I swear! But...he made me!" Orange said, violently wiping off her tears and putting on a barave face. "The guy that offered me the job...he was no Inkling. I was gonna ask for more details but...he snapped his fingers and...I guess I fell asleep."
"Hades! I swear, if that terrible excuse for a god shows his face around here, I swear..." Viridi growled.
"You'll what?"
Hades suddenly appeared in front of Viridi, causing the others to scramble into fighting stances. Hades let out a huge laugh and proceeded to walk towards his enemies.
"You'll bore me to sleep with your speeches? Oh, please! I was going easy back at Rainbow Face's castle. Which reminds me, since both of you hilariously failed at doing your jobs..." Hades noted, pointing to Chrom and Orange, "...I guess I have to do things myself. This time, I'm at full power! I could destroy an entire town in a millisecond if I wanted to just for fun! In fact, I think I'll go do that! Cio! And congratulations on dooming yet another race, Rosebud! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Hades's laughed echoed as the ground started to shake. Cracks of light opened up like a zipper. Despite there being no windows, a ghostly wind filled the air. From the cracks emerged unholy monsters that served in the Underworld Army two decades ago. Pink balls with only one eye, figures resembling the Grim Reaper and walking treasure chests were only some of the demons that marched in front of the group's eyes. They didn't notice Viridi and her comrades. They just moved towards the door and escaped into the world above.
"What!? Wh-what's going on!?" Lyra said, running everywhere to make sure her research was safe. Viridi's eyes turned soulless and empty. She dropped to her knees.
"I didn't think he had it in him," Viridi murmured. "He's obliterated the fourth wall." Viridi then turned to.......you? "Listen, I don't have much time! Run! Run while you still can! All laws of physics have become undone! RUN FOR SHELTER! RU-"
Suddenly a giant purple hand comes down from the sky, overshadowing it. Seeing this, Twilight, without hesitation, grabs Spike and flies him out of their vehicle to safety. The hand snatches the balloon and brings it up to the face of a monster. A face that's dark, almost blue with red marks over it. It's green and red hair flows like a tree's leaves in the wind. It's eyes are soulless and empty save for two eyeballs. It's Hades in all his dreadful glory.
His giant feet smash every building in Ponyvile he can see, though some ponies manage to get out without injury. It isn't long before the news reaches Rainbow Dash, who is both awestruck and scarred by the chaos, evacuates everypony to a safe-house underground, Pinkamena Diane Pie, who reluctantly prepares a party cannon assault in her own home to fight back, though even she thinks it would be useless against the tyrant, Rarity who takes shelter in Twilight's Castle along with Applejack, and Fluttershy who is too afraid to even look at Hades. Twilight woefully looks at the wreckage of where her home used to be.
Meanwhile in Canterlot Castle, Celestia and Palutena receive a letter. It's contents reveal a picture of Hades, sipping a cup full of souls, along with a threatening message.
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.
What's going on? Where's everyone else? Why are there only three of us!?
Glad you asked, Rosebud. I'm taking you on a tour through reality. Now, Pitty-Pat...I believe you deserve a SPANKING!
Hades, in the name of goo- Wait, why do I get this one!?
It fits you well, Pit! Hahaha!
Who's side are you on?! W
h
o
a!
Bye, bye, Pitty-Pat
Take this, Hades!
Uuuuuu
Uuuuugh
Uuuuuugh
Ouch! That hurt
Piiiiiiii iiiiity!
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*
"Did you honestly think this was over!? Now, before your very e-oh we've been through this already. We both know my body's gone again and that I can't delete even the smallest save file. But you, as the reader have well deserved your 'happy ending'. Well it's not happy for me. I hope you're happy. Really. And step on a LEGO brick, while you're at it. Though I could express a bit of gratitude for you. Yes, you. All 109 of you and more to come. Without you, I wouldn't have gotten the chance to do what I did. As for the others, well, let's just say they'll be getting Atari 2600s for Christmas. Like I said, you, with the exception of those naughty little boys and girls, have deserved your happy ending and it just so happens I have enough power to repair the fourth wall. See? I'm not SO bad. Just know that in 25 more years, your old friend, Hades, will be waiting with open arms! With spikes in the middle! Until then, have a crummy day! Ciao! 3 2 1! Wall fixed!"
Viridi, Phosphora and Pit exited a giant bright light and returned to see Equestria, back in shape. Houses were fixed, the injured were healed and the Wii U still wasn't selling as well as the PS4. Oh well. You can't fix everything. Chrom and Orange greeted their friends and exchanged hands.
"GAMWAWAWA!" Orange greeted in an entirely new voice like the sound of a person at the bottom of the ocean, trying to speak.
"Excuse me?" Viridi blurted.
"She doesn't have her translator collar as it seems that dastard, Hades, took it along with him in his demise. But I can only assume she expressed her gratitude. Me and our comrades, we were getting pummeled back there. We managed to take out a couple thousand of Hades's Army, but it didn't help that Phosphora miraculously disappeared during the battle," Chrom explained.
"I felt like I was in a trance or something! Gimme a break!" Phosphora whined, putting her hands on her hips.
"Well, you're all safe now and this thankfully shortlived war is over." Orange nodded.
"But, what about Lady Palutena! Is she alright!?" Pit worried. The angel felt a light tap on his shoulder. He looked around to see his boss and best friend, Palutena, smiling down on him. "Lady Palutena! I'm so glad you're ok!" Pit cheered.
"Thanks, Pit! You're such a sweetheart!" Palutena said, crouching down to meet his size.
"Actually, Viridi did most of the work. I kinda lost the Great Sacred Treasure...again. Anyways! She brought me back from the dead! I think she deserves something!" Pit said, looking to Viridi, who, after hearing the conversation turned to the other side and lowered her eyebrows.
"Oh, Viridi!" Palutena addressed.
"What?!" Viridi grumbled.
"I'd like to thank you for helping Pit beat Hades. It's not like you to get your hands dirty."
"I can fight when I want to."
"Then why aren't you in Sm-"
"Are you here to just rub that in my face!?"
"N-no, Viridi. Sorry, that last statement was rather immature of me! Anyways, I was wondering if you still have plans to...improve this world." Viridi looked around at all the happy ponies, rejoicing and galloping happily.
"No. I think it's just fine the way it is."
"And what of the humans? Do you still hate them as well?"
"I can't deny I think some humans are a bunch of selfish scum...but I'm not any better then they are." Viridi then looked to Chrom, sticking Falchion in the ground. "And I guess some aren't that bad."
"I'm glad to hear that, Viridi!"
"But that doesn't mean the Forces Of Nature are retiring! There are still a lot of selfish scum that need to be pulverized! And if Hades or anyone else comes back, we've got to be ready!"
"Well, I can't say I blame you, but let's be friends, just for today," Palutena said, extending her hand in friendship.
"Why limit it to just today?" Viridi said, shaking Palutena's hand. Suddenly a giant white portal opened up. From inside it emerged two Inklings in purple and green clothing, with voice translator collars on. One had black hair, the other white. They looked resemblant to pop stars.
"I told you, Marie, they said she'd be here!" The purple Inkling said.
"I don't know, Callie. Maybe this is just a wild goose chase," Marie replied. Orange recognized the two immediately and rushed forward to meet them, crashing through anybody who got in her way.
"GLALALALA! EENIE! WAWAWA!" Orange squealed.
"Oh! The girl we're rescuing's a fan!" Callie exclaimed.
"Duh, nearly everyone in Inkopolis is," Marie remarked.
"Marie, be polite! I'm sorry, do you need a translator? You must've had a hard time communicating." Orange nodded, took a spare translator collar Callie had been carrying and put it on.
"Thanks! Do you think that while you're here, you can do a show for us!?" Orange begged.
"Well, I don't see why not!" Callie agreed. The two spotted a stage being used to the right of them where a light blue unicorn with a purple hat waved her hooves in front of a banquet of flowers.
"And now the Great and Powerful Trrriixi-" The magician said before being pushed off the stage by Marie.
"Hi! We're the Squid Sisters and we're here to sing a couple songs for you!"
"Y'know, if you want," Marie mumbled. Viridi and Palutena spotted the Forces Of Nature commanders and began to chat with them.
"Arlon, it's a pleasure to see you again!" Palutena greeted.
"Likewise, Miss Palutena," Arlon responded. Abruptly, loud techno music blared from the right of them as they saw the Squid Sisters, Callie and Marie, singing and dancing in front of a gathering crowd of ponies.
"Who are they?!" Pit asked.
"They're the Squid Sisters!" Orange said walking over to Pit. "Only the freshest pop duo since ever!"
"Well, I think it'd be fun to see their show! How about you, Palutena?" Pit said, turning to Palutena.
"I think that's a fantastic idea, Pit! And you, Viridi?" Palutena asked.
"Well, I suppose I could," Viridi sighed. She, Palutena, Pit and the rest of her friends walked over to the stage where ponies had already set up extra chairs. To the left of her, she saw Lyra and Bon Bon, holding hooves. "Hi!" Viridi said, signaling them.
"Oh! Viridi! Nice to see you in one piece! Lyra and I were starting to get worried!" Bon Bon said.
"Are you two..." Viridi said, pointing to Lyra and Bon Bon simotainiously.
"You better believe it, sister!" Lyra said, pulling Bon Bon's head closer to her. "Do you have a...."
"Go ahead and say it: 'Marefriend'," Bon Bon teased, pushing away Lyra.
"Oh no...I'm not r-" Viridi began.
"Hi, Viridi!"
Viridi jumped with fright until she saw it was only Pit, sitting down next to her.
"Oh...hello, Pit," Viridi said, straightening her hair.
"I just wanted to thank you for...well saving my life, again!"
"It was nothing," Viridi said, blushing.
"Looks like we're gonna be here for a while now...hey, wait! How did you two get here!?" Pit said, addressing the Squid Sisters.
"You're not the only ones who can break the fourth wall!" Marie replied. The two then did their signature pose at both their audiences.
"Ok. Um...there are some things still unresolved here, guys! How do I get home!? What do I eat!? Was...Hades my dad? Or...a phantom...oh jeez...was this all in my mind!? What's a Timberwolf? Is that a...lumberjack thing? Am I real!? I mean, I'd like to go home but....oh gosh...WHERE'S HOME!? Oh...calm down...I mustn't run away...I mustn't...ok, I got that. Ok. Good. Now, if I were to run away, now let's analyze that...WHERE THE HECK WOULD I GO!? I'm in another dimension! Uhhhhh...is this how you end a fanfic!? I mean, is this where we go from here!? Ok, the sequel better make up for this, I'm telling ya right now. Cause I'm stuck in Equestria! Your computers are lagging too, aren't they, ya ba-'
