"I'll return to Skyworld victorious!"

At his question, Frisk couldn’t help but smile gently, before ruffling the feathers on their wings and coming to a stop. They then gave a small nod, seeming extremely happy that their hunch wasn’t wrong.

“Yep! I’m an angel, like you!”

Truthfully, the angel was extremely glad that this hadn’t turned out to be a ruse or a mistake on their part. It wouldn’t have been the first time that it had happened, so they were glad it wasn’t wrong this time.

“My name’s Frisk, by the way. What’s yours?”

“Name’s Pit! Captain of Lady Palutena’s Guard. Good to meet you Frisk!” Pit greeted in a friendly matter. Though holding back his excitement was hard. He couldn't remember the last time he saw another angel. 

Although...he wondered why Frisk was alone. Especially for someone who seemed so young. Then again, angels often appeared younger than their actual age. 

Olimar grabbed the stem of his Yellow Pikmin and chucked him towards Pit before bracing for the charging angel. He was already getting an idea in his head for battle, but only time would tell. He reached for his Red Pikmin next as he watched the Pikmin fly and Pit run.

“Huh? Oh, no, I don’t live here!” The child answered with a quiet giggle. They hadn’t meant to take him off guard or anything like that, so they couldn’t help but feel a little bit bad.

“I’m not interrupting you, am I? I just… Thought I saw something here, and wanted to come check it out.”

As they spoke, the child moved a little bit closer, simply so they weren’t yelling at the other angel. They could tell just by looking that he was the source of that presence they had felt… So surely that meant that he was an angel as well, right?

“I mean… If I am, I’ll leave. I was just curious, that’s all…”

“Oh no no!” Pit quickly assured them, “Don’t worry you're fine. I was just resting a bit. But I guess I’ll-,”

Suddenly, as the child came closer, he noticed something. Something white and fluffy on their backs...once they were close enough, Pit could tell what they were. Those were wings.

My muse is about to be stabbed, only for yours to jump in front of them. Send me  !🔪! for my muse’s reaction

It all happened so fast, Shulk had no idea how to process it. He knew he was about to be attacked. And that it would have ended his life. However, he did not expect for Pit to run in and save him. In fact, he didn’t expect anyone to be around TO save him.

He shakily turned towards Shulk and gave a weak smile, “What…what kind of hero would I be if…if I let them hurt you…?”

“I haven’t had a battle in a while, so this should be fun.” 

“Let’s see what you got then!” Pit exclaimed as the battle began.

≈♥ “Nightmares are scary things. You can’t help what you feel…” They fidgeted, not really wanting to overstay their welcome. If the angel felt guilty, however… “Hey maybe a drink of water and walk’ll do ya some good? Unless ya wanna get more sleep, heh.”

Another attentive gaze scanned the land from the skies above, on the lookout for potentially wounded or lost souls. They knew that sometimes, the souls of the dead had a tendency to linger, because of some unsolved problems. And, of course, Frisk couldn’t help but feel like it was their job to solve those problems.

As they continued to look, the angel felt another presence on the ground below. However, rather than being one of turmoil and despair like a lost soul… This soul was slightly more calm, and similar to their own.

So, out of pure curiosity, Frisk slowly began to circle around and lower themselves to the ground, wanting to check things out.

As they landed a fair distance away, the child folded their wings again, before moving forward slowly. They didn’t want to startle whoever or whatever happened to be there, so they called out quietly.

“Hello…?”

“Huh?” Pit glanced over his shoulder. Odd, he didn't think he had landed anywhere near a town. And Underworld monsters don't talk so it couldn't be that. The angel rose from his spot under the tree and turned in the direction of the voice. From the distance they were apart, it looked like a small human child to Pit. Well...whoops. It wasn't always the best idea to be spotted by humans. 

“Oh uh...sorry do you live here...?” Pit asked with a nervous chuckle, “I didn't mean to intrude.”
