Kid Icarus-Too Close To The Sun

''What is your name?''

 

Ven looked at the dead person. He looked human, but something about him made him look different. Almost. HE was dead, for sure, so that would change somebody, but from the expression on his face of bliss and peacefulness, he looked as if he were happy to be dead. "Bad life." Ven said, before realizing there weren't any tornadoes. Just a lot of dark clouds.

 

Pit shot again, this time piercing the monster as it growled in rage and fell dead. He turned his attention to the sound of the gunshot's origin, he saw someone standing over another person dead ....he mistook it for a monster and shot at him

 

Ven grunted as the arrow hit his back. Grabbing it, he ripped it out and snapped it in half. Then he saw who shot it. "What was THAT for?! I wasn't even doing anything!"

 

Pit saw that he wasn't a monster and ran up to apoligize "sorry about that, thought you were one of those" he saw looking over at the monsters that infested the place "you okay?"

 

Ven looked over at the monsters the angel was talking about. Ven smirked and shot it in the head with a revolving twelve shots from the six barrels and a cannon shot from the seventh. The monster went down easily. "Yeah, I'm fine. My back hurts now though.

OOC: (Revolving Twelve Shot and Cannon shot refer to the six barrels shooting two shots each round and the seventh shooting a very large shot once.)

 

Pit was impressed, he had never seen a weapon like that before. He leaned in closely to get a better look before saying "My name's Pit,"

 

"Name's Ven." Ven said, not even noticing that he had caused the dead monster to explode somehow.(The cannon shot. It does that every time)But he did notice Pit staring at his gun. "You like it? Made it myself. I took the handle from a pistol and used remains of some Uzi guns for the six around the middle barrel, and the middle barrel was the remains of a single barrel shotgun I found. I welded them all together and made a revolving head for the six barrels around the seventh one. In total, about three weeks it took to finish this thing."

 

Pit had no idea what he was saying but was interested. He lifted up his bow "This is my weapon, a powerful bow given to me by the Goddess Palutena"

 

Ven looked at the bow. It looked pretty sturdy. Good for hunting if he were the bowsman type. Still, Ven looked unimpressed. "If it were a crossbow, maybe it would shoot better? Just a thought, because if I were to pull the string on that, I think I might break it. It looks frayed to me." The string was fine, but Ven always saw each and every detail about weaponry, so even the smallest mark was noticed. "I'm not saying it's a bad weapon, it just needs a bit of fixing up. Then it'll work better than better. Whatever that means." Ven hated hearing this phrase from his sister. "If you do what the doctor says, you'll be better than better!" She would say when Ven got sick as a kid. Ven always turned red from hearing that phrase. It was his sister's attempt at being cute.

 

There were still some monsters in the town on building and in the air, so Pit lifted his bow and said "Watch this then" he said smirking. He gently pulled back on the string and a long arrow shaped streak of energy formed in place. He pulled it back to it's full length and aimed. Then he quickly released it, letting the arrow fly out as it curved around any obstacle to meet it's target, which fell down a moment after it had hit .

 

Ven was now impressed. That shot had better accuracy then the pulse gun built into his brother's left arm! And that thing NEVER missed the mark. Ven still thought there was something missing. "How about if you were surrounded by enemies and you only had that one shot? I'm not sure it would hit every one of them. But see, my gun automatically reloads itself and never needs any ammo, so I could shoot it for five years and never reload it, but I'm expecting eventually if you were shooting that thing repeatedly you would get tired, right? There's an advantage to the explosive projectile weaponry. That, and how is an arrow THAT aerodynamic?" Ven knew he must've hit a note there. He made a good point. Mainly because in a choice over which weapon would be better, his sister said you could swing a sword at high velocities of power and only slightly scathe yourself, while Ven had said with a gun you could attack multiple enemies at once and not have to worry about missing since there's no time to aim and somehow, if you have a good gun, the bullets never miss. He had won there.

 

Listening to Ven, a smile grew on Pits face "Well it doesn't really run out of amoo, at least I don't think so. But luckily Palutena had made it for more than just long range battles, if I ever did run out of amoo or get tired I'd simply change it" After he had replied he lifted up the bow and gripping it with both hands he snapped it in half, the string had disappeared from sight. "See, It was also made for close combat. They can be used as swords"

 

Ven flinched at the mention of swords. His sister's favorite weapon was anything sharp that cut through adamant, and her gigantic Cobalt and Mythril sword could do just that. Ven never liked swords, too much strain on the arms, and after you get tired enough, you can't even take the darn thing out of the ground. Ven preferred guns to bows and arrows and swords any day, as a shotgun provides enough kick to it that you know the bullet will hit, but it takes to log to use, so the pistol is better because you could just fire off repeatedly and not get tired. "Sword, eh? Too much hassle for me, once you get done fighting with it, if you went crazy you'll be too tired to pick it up, and if it's a big sword, it'll be too heavy because you threw out your back and wasted your strength fighting." Ven remembered his first try with a short sword. He flung his arm so wildly at the target that he threw it out of joint. He was in the chiropractor's office for three hours. "And aside from those dangers, you might even accidentally hack your own neck open or chop off your own arm because you can get so crazy with a sword." Ven also remembered seeing a teenager using a sword who went so crazy he hacked his own leg off at the knee. Ven flinched at that memory.
