I decided to post all of the old things I wrote here. Why? Why the heck not?
This takes place in chapter 18: The Ring of Chaos.
Ari paused and sighed at the Ring sitting on the ground.
Looks like Magnus didn't want to deal with him. Kodaina commented. Or he doesn't realize who exactly is in the ring.
The white haired male picked up the ring and inspected it, More like the latter. I don't think he would have chucked it..... Or maybe he would.
He ignored the Dragon's laughter as he slipped on the ring. He froze and clutched his head as Kodaina sighed.
Are you an idiot?
Shut up.
"C-can you hear me?" Pit asked wearily, "Where am I?" He looked around before setting his blue eyes on Ari in surprise. "You're not Magnus."
The white haired male snorted in reply, "No i'm not. Though the three of us have the same goals... Er well more of two of us... We have to stop Magnus from outright killing you."
Kodaina growled lowly, seemingly angry. "I can't believe his soul-"
"I know." Ari soothed his Zanpakuto. "Calm down. You're scaring Pit." Their gazes both traveled toward the lone angel, whom grasped at Ari's arm quietly and questioningly. They suspected Pit knew he couldn't fight the huge Dragon. Although he'd taken down the Hewdraw, of which was three times bigger than Kodaina, he seemed hesitant to touch Kodaina Shiro.
"Apologies." Kodaina started watching as Pit merely shrugged. "What do you think of this little one?"
Pit let go of Ari's arm and crossed his own across his chest. "I'm not little" He grumbled. "But the plan seems sound. You'd really be okay with me using your body?" he turned toward Ari who merely shrugged.
"I don't see why not. Use me as you see fit and consider me your weapon." Ari leaned against Kodaina and chuckled. "And Kodaina too."
The dragon merely huffed but nodded his head to the statement.
The angel looked conflicted, "You're my friend. I can't use you as a weapon. I'll be careful with your body though." He responded watching as Ari slid down to the ground. "That's a promise."
"I have scars for days kid." he responded winking a bit, "A few more wouldn't hurt. Speaking of which, Kodaina Shiro is a Zanpakuto and works similar to a Katana. Of which works like a sword. You'll figure it out once you get to using it."
Pit paused and ocean met gunmetal, "I'll take your word for it."
Ari snorted, "I sure hope you will. Because Kodaina is my Zanpakuto. I should know how to use him better than anyone. Meanwhile we'll be able to talk and communicate with you as though you were talking to Palutena."
"It feels so weird..." Pit commented walking forward using Ari's body. "It's a bit spacious and feels like i'm wearing a costume that's too big......."
Yeah it'll feel like that. I think its moreof that I'm taller than you are. So you're not used to it as of right now. Though I will admit you using my body reminds me of Gigai.
Or he is wearing a costume too big for him.
A meat costume?
Pit made a face, Stop talking about costumes, Ari. He paused, Kodaina. It's making me a bit uncomfortable. You two are as bad as Lady Palutena.
The dragon roared in laughter and Ari shook his head in response.
We are? I never really thought about it that way. I haven't thought about eating Angel wings as much as she has. he commented, ignoring Pit's sigh in anguish. Either way, I sense him a few yards ahead. He's gotten far ahead of us but not too much so. I also sense your body Pit. It has your signature but its.... Empty within.
Probably because his soul is within you Arianna. You can sense him the way you can sense Captain Toshiro and Captain Byakuya. He has no reiatsu but now that you're connected soul wise you're able to sense him now.
That's interesting. Byakuya taught me nothing about that. Ari mused, watching as Pit fought the Centurion with his weapon. He probably didn't know. Though I do see why Rukia holds him in such high regards. Cold calculating but has a heart. He shook his head. That doesn't matter now though, we have to find Magnus.
Pit paused and looked around, How can you fight with all of this hair, doesn't it get in the way? he asked, presumably trying to sense Magnus.
It does. But you get used to it and find ways to work around it. This is nothing though Pit. I had hair down to my ankles when I was first starting out as a Soul Reaper. He felt Pit freeze and tried to find the source of his unease. Finding nothing, he relaxed against his Zanpakuto who in turn curled around his master.
A hot spring! Pit screamed startling Ari and Kodaina. Step one: Breathe deep! Step two: take off pants!
Ari sighed, Neither of us have pants Pit.
Oh... Right.
My shihakusho doesn't have pants. They're more of a Kimono than anything. And you wear a tunic with a skirt.
It's not a skirt! Pit defended and Ari raised an eyebrow. It's not!
Whatever you say skirt boy.
Kodaina!
Kodaina shook his head and curled protectively around the Angel.
K-kodaina? Pit said confused his ocean eyes flicking between the dragon guarding him and the Soul Reaper. What are you....
Ari smiled inwardly before walking in the direction of Pit's body, ignoring the questions brought on by Magnus and Pit. It was interesting, having three minds within one body. A bit confusing but manageable.
"Its been three years since Pit's been gone." Magnus startled Pit and Ari out of their thoughts before starting into a story of Palutena's downward spiral. Her sudden attack upon the humans after her hard work of making sure they were alive.
He felt the angel try to resurface but Ari pushed Pit back down. He looked toward Magnus and sighed, this was bound to give the Angel PTSD at some point. Ari didn't know when. But he knew it was coming.
Words: 920
This takes place during Chapter 22: Scorched Feathers
Ari growled and flash stepped between the Chaos Kin and Lady Palutena. Both Pit and the two Goddesses gasped as his soul was ripped out of him.
He heard a loud growl and let out a breathy wail. Falling backwards he felt himself be caught by womanly arms, looking up to find Palutena. The flames of his inner world flared making him wince.
How is he not..... Viridi scrambled for words, confused. He... He has no soul. This isn't right.
Ari froze, K-kodaina? Kodaina! His heart dropped at the lack of response. He was alone again in another world that wasn't his own. He turned his attention toward the goddesses and Pit, What the Chaos Kin took wasn't my soul... He took a part of my soul. Kodaina Shiro.
Pit's eyes lit up in realization, "Wait, the dragon I saw in your inner world?" they then darkened, "That's what it took?"
Ari nodded and looked down, feeling his temperature go up.
"Pittoo!" He heard when he came to. "Viridi! Give me the power of flight!"
You already used the power of flight! Don't you remember? If I enable it again now, your wings will catch fire!
"The Chaos Kin is going to destroy Pittoo! Can't you see what's at stake here? I don't care if my wings catch fire!"
No way! Just forget about it! I'm pulling you out!
"No! Stop! If we don't help him right now, we won't have another chance! I'm begging you, Viridi! Let me fly! Now!"
"Pull him out, Viridi!" Ari forced himself to move and threw himself over the edge ignoring Kodaina's roars of warning.
"No!" Pit's eyes widened as he was pulled out by Viridi.
He's really mad at you for that. Viridi commented. I'll be controlling your flight pattern and pouring on the speed.
Ari felt his wings pause for a split second before everything became faster. Faster than a regular shunpoe would take him. He winced as he felt himself become a bullet through the nighttime sky and realized he was coming close to Pittoo. Er Dark Pit.
"Help me!" Dark Pit reached out and Ari shunpoed toward him, grabbing his waist in his human hand. Bringing him closer he tried to protect the younger from the Chaos Kin's spirit.
I'm pulling you two out!
Naturey light took them away.
It was only when they reached Viridi's domain that Ari finally let go of Pit's clone.
You pushed yourself. Kodaina commented watching the flames around him. Way too hard. Way too fast, you could have died.
I guess the I'm already dead excuse doesn't fly anymore? Ari chuckled leaning against and sliding down the wall, he watched as Pit strode in an angry look on his face. Dark Pit looking on in complete confusion.
No. It never worked to begin with. He snorted.
"What was that?!" Pit demanded. His wings were still intact, which relieved Ari. "You could have died!"
"Kodaina has informed me of that." Ari yawned and stretched before wincing, "I don't know why you're so mad at me, you could have died too yanno."
Pit paused and the anger melted off his face. He couldn't argue with that. Neither of them could. "I..." He trailed off, moving to sit in Ari's lap. Looking up at Ari he continued, "Thank you... Pittoo you say it too."
Dark Pit paused in his pacing and looked up in question. His eyebrow raised he sighed. "I guess a thank you is in order." Though they both paused in question as Ari raised a hand.
"You don't need to thank me. Your lives were in danger, its my duty as a Soul Reaper to help the innocent Souls that are in trouble. You were probably going to be fine without my help although you might have been down a captain." He held Pit and looked between Dark pit and Pit. Only looking further past them when Viridi and Palutena entered the room.
Palutena paused before them and bent down to her Angel Captain's level before scooping him into a hug. Surprised, Pit hugged back and relaxed in her hold.
While they were reuniting, Ari slipped into his inner world letting his body slump forward.
Flames were everywhere. If he could say so himself it looked like complete utter Hell. Chaos was the understatement of the decade.
Kodaina shook his head, You were reckless. You saved a Goddess but at the price of your Riatsu becoming unstable.
You were the one that pushed your soul in front of mine. Ari turned on his Zanpakuto, Do you have any idea how scared I was to lose you? The fact that you were gone terrified me! The Chaos Kin could have easily hurt you. What were you thinking?
The two souls paused and sighed. There was nothing they could really argue about, nor were they really sure of the consequences of Kodaina Shiro's sudden rip and return. Though it wasn't as bad as before, his core temperature coming back down to normal levels, at least in his case.
Maybe it was Palutena's thank you. Or maybe it wasn't.
Ari? Palutena's voice startled the Soul Reaper and the Dragon. Are you alright? Pit told us that you were unharmed and was within something called an 'inner world.'
Ari sighed, Yes Lady Palutena. I'm alright, the Chaos Kin took my Zanpakuto's soul. So we're trying to fix the... damage left by it. There isn't much, we suspect it wasn't long enough to warrant it being any worse.
I figured there were only two so. No use in double posting for this one.
