Chapter 1: A New Beginning

Author's notes: Hey everyone, it's me. I'm going to write a fanfiction and it's probably going to be really cringy and awful because this is my first fanfiction. Seeing how I doubt we're getting another Kid Icarus game I decided I might as well write some Kid Icarus fanfictions. This will be a retelling of the plot of the first Kid Icarus game. As well as everything I want in a remake of the first Kid Icarus game. I will be taking very heavy inspiration from the Devil May Cry series given how similar both the Kid Icarus and Devil May Cry series are. If you're a fan of both DMC and Kid Icarus you'll likely agree with me. I will also be taking very heavy inspiration from Blazblue, Guilty Gear, Saint Seiya, and Highschool DxD. So without further ado let's begin.

Disclaimer: I own nothing except the OC's. Kid Icarus belongs to Nintendo and it's respective owners. I am just someone who plays and enjoys the Kid Icarus series. I claim no ownership over anything at all.


In a kingdom in the clouds lived two beautiful goddesses. Palutena the goddess of light and Medusa the goddess of darkness. Together both ruled over Angel Land or Skyworld or whatever you want to call it. I don't care what you call it really. It's basically just Heaven but you don't go here when you die. Even if you're a saint.

Palutena was off doing her normal duties showering the humans with light so they can grow crops and thrive. As she did the people cheered for their goddess. They always left offerings to her as a sign of respect. Also because she was a goddess but mostly as a sign of respect.

"The people's cheers are like music to my ears'' said Palutena, quite pleased with herself. Afterward, she walked away to relax for a bit. As she did her sister, Medusa came out of the shadows, looking quite bitter and salty from the looks of it. She was always jealous of her. Especially when she was referred to as "the prettier one of the two." Medusa was beautiful but not as beautiful as Palutena. She always felt resentment towards her. After Palutena had left she decided to dry up the crops and turn some of the people into stone. Palutena witnessed all of this with her all-seeing eye of Palutena. She sighed as once again her sister had ruined her hard work. She was quite upset with her every time she did this. Afterward, she was with her two most loyal servants and best friends working on a new bow for Siegfried but once again it didn't come out the way she wanted.

"Ugh, why won't you turn out right?" said Palutena, then she threw the bow across the room.

"Ummmm... Palutena, you might want to calm down. You seem a bit stressed out" said Siegfried, while having his hand and finger up in concern.

"Don't you tell me to calm down, Siegfried!" shouted Palutena, holding Siegfried so tight she was harming him.

"Ummmm…. Palutena can you please let me go? You're kind of hurting me." said a nervous Siegfried to a very stressed-out Palutena. A lady in a Nordic-looking outfit stepped up and put her hand on Palutena's shoulder.

"Calm down, Palutena. Just breathe in and breathe out. Tell us what's going on. Not only are we your servants but we're also your friends." said Eva to Palutena. Palutena then got her hands off Siegfried. Then, she did some breathing in and breathing out. Afterward, she hugged her friend.

"It's just that Medusa keeps undoing my hard work and I don't know what to do," said Palutena to Eva. After a while, both backed away from their hug and sat to discuss what to do with Siegfried.

"We have to do something about this. We can't just leave Medusa to dry up the crops and turn some of the humans into stone. That's a very terrible thing for obvious reasons." said Eva

"I swear she is pure evil. There is nothing good about her. I bet what's in her heart is nothing good either. It's probably something hideous." said Palutena. Then, at that moment Siegfried looked like he had an idea."

"Hey, What if you made her look like what's inside her heart?" said Siegfried to Palutena. For a moment the room went silent as Siegfried's idea made a lot of sense.

"Siegfried, that's genius. I can see why my father gave you the title of the Legendary Light Knight Siegfried." said Palutena to Siegfried.

"I like referring to myself as Knight Light. I think the name is a bit brighter" said Siegfried to Palutena. The room turned silent again but not for a good reason.

"It's funny. You're supposed to laugh," said Siegfried.

"No, it isn't and we really shouldn't," said Palutena to Siegfried.

"We all make mistakes, darling," said Eva to Siegfried.

"So how are Pit and Elizabeth? Are they doing well?" said Palutena to Siegfried and Eva.

"Elizabeth is fine. Her sickness isn't all that bad. Pit is also fine. He just can't fly" said Siegfried to Palutena.

"I'm kind of worried about Pit. He should be capable of flying by now," said Eva.

"Don't worry. He'll be fine. He just needs some time to develop." said Siegfried to Eva, while holding Eva's hands in his.

"I hope you're right, Siegfried. I'll go check on him. Be right back" said Eva. Eva left to go check on Pit. Palutena left to go confront her sister. Siegfried was still there sitting.

"Welp, I'm going to go train and afterward eat a cheesecake," said Siegfried as he left to do just that.


Meanwhile with Pit:

"Flightless freak! You're so weak and pathetic." said an angel to Pit, who was lying down and being kicked by a few angels.

"Pit! Are you there? Pit!" shouted Eva searching for Pit.

"Oh shoot scram," said one of the angels as they all flew away. Pit got up. He was a bit hurt. Nothing too bad but it wasn't too good either.

"Pit, are you ok?" said Eva to Pit, looking quite concerned for her son.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Hey, am I a flightless freak?" said Pit to Eva.

"You are flightless but you're not a freak. You're my son" said Eva to Pit.

"Thanks, mom. You're the best" said Pit to Eva.

"No problem. Come on, I'll make you and your sister something to eat," said Eva to Pit.

"Okie Dokie," said Pit, both he and his mother walked off to eat something.


Meanwhile with Palutena:

"Medusa, your reign of terror ends here," said Palutena to Medusa.

"Why dear sister, whatever are you talking about?" said Medusa to Palutena.

"I mean, you are drying up the crops and turning the humans to stone," said Palutena to Medusa.

"Alright, fine. So what? Is there something wrong with that?" said Medusa to Palutena.

"Yes, there is. And for that you must pay?" said Palutena to Medusa as she turned Medusa into an eldritch abomination.

"What did you do?" said Medusa to Palutena

"I turned you into an eldritch abomination and now I banish you to the Underworld," said Palutena to Medusa.

"I swear I'll get my revenge on you someday, sister," said Medusa to Palutena

"From this day forward we are no longer sisters," said Palutena to Medusa as the one she used to call sister was teleported to the Underworld. From there she made friends with the demons of the underworld as she plotted her revenge.


Author's notes: To be honest I don't think that was very Kid Icarus-y. Expect more or less of that in future chapters. I'm incredibly inconsistent. Now then, Pit's parents. I didn't base them off of anything in mythology for the most part. Instead, I based them on Dante's parents. Siegfried is based on Sparda. I also decided to name him after one of my favorite Soul Calibur characters. You can guess who he's named after. Eva is based on Eva. No surprise there. I decided to make her a former Valkyrie. Valkyries are from Norse mythology, not Greek mythology. I will make a prequel to this fanfiction once I'm done with this one. Whenever that is. Fun bit of trivia, I did also have the idea of naming Pit's mom Sophitia after another one of my favorite Soul Calibur characters but I decided to name her Eva. Anyways make sure to leave a review and maybe share this with someone you know. Feel free to ask questions.
