"Ok." I said to Shadmé and did as she said,"...you've got this Paige...you'll be just fine..." I said to myself," so this is what it's like to fly?" I asked, inside I was scared, but on the outside I was pretty calm and a little nervous.

"She's not a god? Huh, I thought she was" I said to Pit as I started to tingle "Great, now I'm tingling again"

I flapped beside Paige, pleased that we had managed to fly in a straight line together. "You bet! Oh, it's so great! The freedom, the fresh air, the view. I'm so glad that we get the Power of Flight, even for a little while."

"Nope!" Pit shook his head. "Neither is Arlon. Or Cragalanche. Oh my, that'd be strange if Cragalanche was a god. Can you even imagine!" He talked to distract Austin from his wing.

" yah it kinda is." I replied," thanks Shadmé for helping me out like this." I told her.

"No problem!" I told her cheerily. "Just remember to flap your wings occasionally to prevent you from descending." I relaxed as I flew, closing my eyes slightly.

"Yeah, that would be weird" I said with a smile "Just don't tell Viridi I said that, she's always been my friend, and I don't want that jeopardized" I said to Pit

"Weird," Pit said. "I didn't think ANYONE could get along with Viridi!"

"Well, she did take care of me that time I ran away" I reminded Pit

"Because she knew Palutena would kill her if she didn't," Pit chuckled.

"Either way, she was a jerk at first, but after a few days, she really cared about me, if it wasn't for her, I never would have built the confidence to come back here" I said to Pit

"Ok." I said as I flapped my wings and then I noticed some storm clouds," umm Shadmé I think we should turn back now."

Link found some rupees and found a hole," I wonder what's in here." He said to himself and jumped in it.

Tink sat there, while Medli looked around. "There is a tidal wave..." she said.
Tink didn't care.

Dark Tink kept walking, eating hia stuff.

"All right, whatever you say, Austin," Pit replied.

I blinked, seeing them too. "Yeah. They're coming in really fast, actually..." A rumble of thunder loudly alerted me to a cloud approaching from our right. "Okay, okay! Stupid cloud..." I banked left to turn around.

I didn't know what to do and panicked, I stopped flapping my wings and closed my eyes, everything's going to be alright, I'll be fine... I thought.

I looked up and saw Shadmè "Hey Pit, isn't that Shadmè, she's usually a graceful flyer right?" I asked as I pointed to her

OoC: Maybe have Viridi visiting Palutena? In my mind, a goddess can only control two angels with the Power of Flight, max. If Viridi was there, she'd be able to get Austin and Pit flying as well.

Oh Palutena, she can't turn properly... "Here!" I shouted, gently taking hold of Paige's shoulders and manually steering her left. "You have to flap your wings, Paige!" Was it just me or was that crack of lightning awfully close? Probably my imagination.

"Uh, yeah, she-" Pit cut off when a blast of lightning touched down on another cloud. In the light, he saw another angel. "Oh no! Paige is there too! Come on, we gotta run to the temple!" Pit started sprinting, not waiting for an answer, his eyes on the angels. Shadmé might be able to navigate, but Paige...

Dark Pit stood on a cliff, far enough away that the other angels could not see him. A storm? Awesome. I've been waiting a while for a chance like this. Dark Pit leapt off the cliff as his wings glowed purple, and propelled himself into the eye of the storm. Daredevil that he was, flying in weather like this seemed like fun.

"Paige!" I yelled, shocked because I knew she wasn't that great at flying, neither was I, so I ran after Pit looking up at Shadmè and Paige the whole time "What do we do"

Tink looked up again. "Lets go." He said as he grabbed Medli as she flew up.

Dark Tink just stared.

"I- I can't. Just s-save yourself. I-I'll try to find a s-safe place to stay for a while until the s-storm is over.." I told her as I got out of her grip. I took a deep breath and glided towards a ledge," ok that wasn't that hard." I said to myself. Then I heard lightning that was close by and I stepped backwards a bit and almost fell off the edge,"wow that was a close one." I said.

I didn't have time to tell her how well she'd executed the glide. "S-save my...no, Paige! I'm not a coward. I won't go back." I was still in the air, and flapped my wings to hover above the ledge the other angel was on. Before I knew it, the entire area turned white from a blast of lightning close by. I heard an extremely loud cracking sound. A lightning strike had hit the edge, and chopped it away from the rest of the cliff. Paige was falling!
I zipped down to save her, but chunks of rock flying everywhere pounded my body and wings. I screamed, my wings damaged, the Power of Flight cut off. We began tumbling into the clouds, into the land...

"Nooo!!" Pit shouted, and ran even faster to the temple. It was in his vision now. "Lady Palutena! Let me go- I need to save Shadmé and Paige!"

OoC: *waits for Lyv's decision*

"Me too Lady Palutena" I said as I ran as fast as I could "I might not be great at flying, but I have to try" I thought

I closed my eyes as I fell. I didn't want to see what was going to happen.

"Wahh! Viridi?" Pit gasped as his and Austin's wings began to glow green. "Are you helping us?"

I grabbed Paige's hand as we began free-falling. My wings flickered blue a few times, but it was obvious that Palutena didn't have a hold on us. Even though my death was approaching, I sighed. I had failed to teach Paige to fly thanks to the stupid storm. Was that a black figure? No, my mind was playing tricks on me. I closed my eyes, like Paige, and felt the wind fly past my face...

"Thanks buddy" I said to Viridi as I saw my wings glows green, I flew as fast as I could, quickly getting to Paige and Shadmè "Guys! Grab my hands! I'll get us out of here!" I yelled before grabbing their arms "Pit! I can't do this on my own!" I yelled to my friend

Pit swooped down to assist, only for a blast of lightning to separate the angels. "Shadmeeeeee!" he cried as he was struck down, spiraling to the ground.

The lightning hit me dead-on, knocking me out cold, I started falling to the ground at extreme speed, I reached terminal velocity in 2.7 seconds!

Pit's wings' green light died, and everything around him appeared as a dark indigo and gray. He sighed. All his adventure, and only to die from a stupid storm. He slowly closed his eyes, coming to terms with his death.

Dark Pit, meanwhile, was having the time of his life. He swooped and dived between flashes, none ever touching him. He whooshed through a cloud and emerged freezing-cold, droplets clinging to his wings. He grinned as lightning touched down near him, the heat making all droplets fade immediately. But that flash had made him see something. Four figures plummeting to the ground. Dark Pit squinted, not approaching yet, as he tried to identify them.

Another lightning flash, and Dark Pit located four dark heads and pairs of wings of multiple colors. Pit, Shadmé, Paige and one other he didn't remember. He immediately launched into a dive, without thinking. He had to save Pit, definitely. But the others...urgh. Palutena would kill him if he didn't save them. Dark Pit had fallen fast enough that he grabbed one of Pit's white wings, and grabbed Paige's arm. She was holding hands with Shadmé, so he had three. The other angel was falling like a stone. Dark Pit's eyes flicked, wondering if he should risk his life for the fourth or try to save the three he had retrieved. Sighing, realizing he wouldn't reach the other in time, he began trying to fly back up. But it was too much weight, and Dark Pit realized he'd have to free-fall with them. With him, there was definitely a chance of these three landing without injury. So he loosened up and began descending, following the blue feathers spiraling, a trail left behind by the fourth angel.

OoC: Nothing personal, EyeBrawler. You just mentioned that you were falling fast, and that was a good reason for Dark Pit to fall with the rest of us. ^.^

I had Shadmé's hand held tight, if there was a chance that she and I would live, it'd be good for the two of us. But all of a sudden I didn't feel like I was falling as fast as before. I didn't want to know what was going on any which way so I kept my eyes closed.

((It's ok, seems like something DP would do))

I was falling when suddenly I woke up "Uggh, Oh ****!" I said as I realized I was falling "Help" I screamed

OoC: Whoops, that got posted twice. Stupid Internet.

"Hey Paige...are we dead yet?" I mumbled, eyes not open for fear of if I did, then I'd see the ground rushing past and the last thought being splat!

Dark Pit didn't say anything. He just wanted them to continue being unconscious so he wouldn't have to present himself. Being a hero was not on his bucket list.

" I don't think so...." I said not opening my eyes.

Dark Pit gritted his teeth. The angels were seriously weighing him down. And there were clouds up ahead. He flapped his wings, trying to focus on them, when the inevitable struck. And by inevitable...it was lightning. The flash made him wince the tiniest bit. And that made him loose grip on Paige's arm. He watched, horrified, as the two plunged into the gray cloud. Little did he know, the two were taken somewhere else...

"Great. I kinda feel like-" before I knew it I was plummeting, faster than before. A small scream escaped me before I clamped my mouth cloud, and went through something wet. A cloud? And then I hit land.

I let go of Shadmé's hand, but it wasn't on purpose. I didn't know what happened before I fell in throw a cloud and later landing in some sorta liquid? Water......why would there be water? I opened my eyes and I did fall in the water. I swam to land and sighed in relief, as I layed by the water,where am I? I asked myself.

Link climbed out of the hole and found 80 rupees, " I guess it's just my lucky day." He said happily and all of a sudden he walked into another hole that just appeared? He felt like he was falling forever and when he finally hit the ground he landed on his head.....(he's not so lucky anymore...) little did he know, well he didn't know much,but he was transported to the mysterious world too.

"OW!" I complained as I hit a grassy patch, the wind knocked out of me. Coughing and hacking, every move feeling like torture, I opened my eyes. Everything appeared brighter because of the length of time my eyes had been closed. But hey, it wasn't storming. It was just...different.
Oh Palutena. Where was I? And where was everyone else?

I was falling, but all of a sudden I was on a grassy field, like I never fell at all, I got up and saw Paige laying next to a small lake, I walked over, but when I got over to her, I fell to the ground in pain from the lightning, I saw that I now have a hole in my left wing "Paige, are you ok" I asked

I heard someone speak- it sounded like Austin! I was feeling a little better, so I tried to roll over. I ended up groaning. So I stopped, laying on my side, and said "A-attendance check. Shadmé in. Who else is there?"

Dark Pit had dove into the cloud. Pit was now on his back, piggyback style. Dark Pit panted, glancing around as he flew, for any sign of the angels. Pit was slightly breathing, just unconscious.
After coming out of the other end of the cloud, the dark angel was surprised to see a grassy, mountainous battlefield land with rivers. He looked up, only to realize the storm was gone. Was it a trick? He'd find out, but first he'd need to drop the dead weight. He glanced around.

OoC: Dark Pit is still too high up to be seen yet.

"Austin in" I said in pain "I don't think I'll ever fly again though" I pointed at the hole in my wing

I fooled over on my stomach and moaned," A-are we dead yet? And where are we?" I asked and looked at the grass and flowers.

Link woke up and looked at the sky,"everything's normal. I must have just tripped." Me said before closing his eyes and tried to have a nap.

"Yikes. Looks bad, Austin. Does it hurt?" I rose to a sitting position. "And no, we're not dead, Paige. We'd be in Skyworld. Ha...ha."

"Yeah, it does Shadmè" I said as I looked over at Paige "Are you ok Paige" I asked

I looked up to see Austin,"I-I'm fine....b-but I do feel like I almost drowned." I told him and I continued to lie there. I was wet and cold, I just wanted to know what happened. "Ha ha,Very funny Shadmé.....Wait if we're not in Skyworld, then where are we?" I asked.

"We're living, that's where!" I grinned stupidly. "In all seriousness, I don't know. But we should- wait. Where's Pit?" My eyes began flicking around, looking for the other angel of our group.

"That's good Paige, and I'm not sure where he is" I said

Dark Pit saw Paige and the others from the sky. Therefore, there was no chance of him returning Pit without them seeing. But a pond, the same one Paige had fallen into, caught his eye. Smirking, he dropped Pit and let him go. The water would break his fall, and the others would be close enough to save him. The dark angel stretched his wings and took off, exploring on his own.

"Oh great," I sighed. "Maybe he...didn't make it." I slowly got up, rubbing my eyes from the thought of Pit gone, when suddenly there was a huge splash in front of my face.

"I think that's Pit now" I said as I got up

I got splashed on," great, I'm even more wet." I said,better help Pit out. I jumped in the pond and dragged Pit to shore," well I-I'm going to look around." I told the others and walked over to a tree that wasn't too far away.
