Divine Discord

Summary:

Viridi: This is the weirdest family tree ever

Palutena: Well we are based on Greek Mythology

Viridi: Let's not open THAT can of worms

Viridi: Actually, on second thought let's open that can of worms

Pit: Oh geez

Or

The recent war between Palutena, Viridi, and Hades was so destructive that Dyntos had the bright idea to make phones for everyone to let them keep their chaos in text form. Of course, this chaos ended up just being a bunch of people confused about their own lore and insulting each other. To be honest, he really should have expected this.

Notes:

I've never used Discord in my life, so I wrote this as if they were in a regular texting app instead of specifically Discord. I just used this title because alliteration is fun and it has a fun double meaning.

This fic was just something I wrote to get myself used to writing, and I wanted somewhere to just write down my silly little confusion on Kid Icarus's lore and stuff while I plan out a more serious fic for this fandom.

I still hope this silly little thing is at least entertaining to the three people left in this fandom.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

Dyntos has created a chat

Dyntos added Palutena, Viridi, Hades, Pit, and Pittoo

Palutena: Lord Dyntos, may I ask what this is?

Dyntos: Something that'll keep you whippersnappers occupied instead of starting another war!

Hades: It really wasn't THAT bad

Viridi: You can't be serious rn

Hades: Well it was going great for me until Medusa lobbed my head off and Pitty shot me with a laser

Palutena: ANYWAYS

Palutena: Lord Dyntos, did you really magic phones into our hands just to make sure we keep our chaos in text????

Dyntos: Yep, I sure did.

Palutena: While I appreciate it, I don't think this can work

Dyntos: Why?

Palutena: Pit and Pittoo can't read or write, so they can't participate

Dyntos: Tell those doofuses to use the TTS and STT!

Pit: Oh that makes sense

Pittoo: Why's my name pit to here too

Palutena: I'm really starting to think that I need to teach you two how to read and write

Pittoo: No I don't want you to

Pit: I'd be down for that

Palutena: You'd really rather be illiterate than learn from me??????

Pittoo: Yes

Hades: Y'know I am a fan of Pittooey contributing to the literacy crisis

Pittoo: On second thought you can teach me

Hades: Really Pittooey??? You'd do this to your own grandfather???

Pittoo: Now where did you get the idea that you're my grandfather

Hades: Well you were made from the Mirror of Truth, therefore you're my grandson

Viridi: Are you saying that you made the Mirror of Truth?????

Hades: I'm not saying that

Viridi: THEN WHAT ARE YOU SAYING

Hades: Anything that's made for the Underworld Army is technically my kid

Hades: So the Mirror of Truth is my kid and everything that it made is my grandkid

Viridi: This is the weirdest family tree ever

Palutena: Well we are based on Greek Mythology

Viridi: Let's not open THAT can of worms

Viridi: Actually, on second thought let's open that can of worms

Pit: Oh geez

Viridi: Are Hades and Poseidon brothers in this game universe?????

Palutena: That's actually a good question

Hades: I actually don't know

Hades: Because nothing in game says that we are, but it'd be weird if we aren't

Pit: But this game really isn't that close to all the Greek stuff

Viridi: Good point

Viridi: I'd believe that they are brothers if Zeus was here, but I don't think he's gonna be in this series

Pit: Oh he is

Viridi: HE IS???

Pit: Yeah he gave me upgrades in the first two games

Palutena: I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THIS????

Palutena: WAS HE ACTUALLY NAMED ZEUS

Pit: He was named that in of myths and monsters but he was just the friendly god in the first game

Hades: I don't think OMaM counts as canon

Viridi: Yeah but that "friendly god" is still a little suspicious

Palutena: Pit, did you fight anyone else that we didn't talk about in this game?

Pit: Some guy called Uranus

Palutena: URANOS????

Hades: Please tell us this was in the non canon game or Pretty Palutena's going to have a conniption

Pit: No it was in the first one

Pittoo: Why's parrot tenant freaking out

Palutena: Because Uranos was the embodiment of the sky??? He's the father of the Titans???? Grandfather of a lot of major gods????

Viridi: Divinipedia says that he's just the God of the Sky in this game series

Palutena: The first game just has weird lore and I don't like it

Viridi: Petition to ignore all lore from the first two games?

Palutena: Signed

Hades: Signed

Pit: Signed

Hades: Pittooey sign it

Pittoo: No

Pit: Sign it

Pittoo: Fine

Pittoo: Signed

Hades: When did you two get so buddy-buddy?

Pittoo: When I realized that my life was connected to him

Pit: So you do like me

Pittoo: I tolerate you the most out of everyone here

Pit: I can accept that

Hades: I feel like we need to acknowledge that there's still weird lore in Uprising though

Palutena: Like what

Viridi: Literally everything abt Pyrrhon

Palutena: I've never really found him all that strange tbh

Pit: But why do all of you act like he isn't actually the sun god

Pit: Like no one questions that viridian is the goddess of nature or lady parrot tenant is the goddess of light but you act like pyrrhic is faking it

Hades: Pretty Palutena pls teach your boy how to write because I can barely understand this STT texting

Palutena: yeah, yeah, I will.

Palutena: But he's saying that no one questions my or Viridi's status as goddess of light or nature, yet we say things like "self proclaimed" or "that's what he calls himself" when talking abt Pyrrhon as the sun god

Viridi: I honestly just don't like him, and I don't want him to be the god of smth so important

Viridi: But yeah that is weird when you point it out

Hades: Maybe he'll come back in the next game and reveal himself to be a massive poser or some other character gets introduced that's the actual sun god

Palutena: I wouldn't be all that surprised but he's definitely weird as of right now

Hades: yeah, weird because he's completely naked

Viridi: I was wondering when someone was gonna acknowledge it

Hades: I'll have you know that I DID acknowledge it when I said that I hoped he was decent right before Pitty went to fight him

Hades: But I'm more concerned with the clear favoritism towards him

Hades: My poor Syrens had to cover up before the game was released, but this guy gets to be completely nude

Palutena: You're complaining as if your Syrens didn't have massive nipples on their chests????

Palutena: Of course that was gonna get censored in a kid's game. The reason Pyrrhon got away with it is because he has nothing to show

Hades: They could've just removed them like they did for him, but they instead had my girls cover up

Viridi: That's probably because their design would be too empty without smth there.

Viridi: Again, the only reason Pyrrhon got away with it is because he has all those marks on his body

Hades: Oh, please. My Syrens are minor enemies so they didn't need to be super detailed

Hades: Nintendo is just full of double standards

Pittoo: Sure buddy

Hades: Excuse you

Hades: I stand up for my girls and am instead faced with slander from all sides!

Viridi: YOU STARTED A WAR

Hades: That's completely irrelevant rn

Palutena: No you deserve to be slandered whenever we feel like it after that

Palutena: But why were you even doing it in the first place?

Pit: Yeah lady parrot tenant sounded really surprised when you revealed yourself even though she already knew who you were

Hades: I don't have to explain myself to you

Pittoo: That means he doesn't know

Hades: No it doesn't

Viridi: Then tell us why you decided it might be fun to cause a massive war

Hades: I'll have you know that mischief is one of my main responsibilities

Palutena: Yeah but this war really wasn't your usual style

Hades: erm

Hades: I don't really have a canon reason

Viridi: So what I'm hearing is that you did it just for the heck of it

Hades: That is not at all what I just said

Viridi: That is basically what you just said

Hades: No! I said that I don't know WHY I decided to start a war, not that I did it for fun

Viridi: Practically the same thing

Palutena: That is not at all the same thing

Palutena: Why are you making me side with him of all people

Hades: Actually I can think of one thing that might've done it

Pittoo: This should be good

Hades: Thanatos needed to actually do his job for once instead of forcing the Reapers to do it

Hades: Creating an overflow of souls could've forced him to come back to help out but he was dead so that plan failed

Pittoo: Gee if only someone could've revived him and just ordered him to get back to his nine to five

Hades: I didn't consider doing that

Pit: Couldn't you just force him to do his job when you revived him the first time

Hades: No he ran away to Poseidon's domain so I couldn't do anything

Pittoo: Couldn't you just tell Poseidon to kick him out

Hades: We don't have a canon relationship so I honestly have no idea how that would've played out

Viridi: That's just dumb tbh

Palutena: If it were me, I would've just marched down to that palace and dragged him back

Hades: I would never bc I let my underlings have benefits unlike you

Palutena: WHAT

Viridi: I mean…

Viridi: He's not wrong

Viridi: WAIT NOW IM THE ONE AGREEING WITH HIM EW

Palutena: Oh please, dead Lord of the Underworld. Enlighten me on how I don't give my underlings benefits

Hades: I don't watch you religiously! I don't know any specifics

Hades: But I can just see the difference in the way Viridi treats her commanders vs the way you treat Pitty Pat

Viridi: Again, hate to agree with him on anything, but yeah

Viridi: At least I had the grace to hype up my commanders when Pit fought them

Viridi: You just bully Pit

Palutena: We've ALL bullied him

Hades: We're ANTAGONISTS

Hades: You're his helper so you should do better

Palutena: nuh uh

Hades: That's very mature of you

Hades: I'm noticing that the angels aren't saying anything

Hades: Could they perchance secretly agree with me and Viridi?

Pittoo: You guys already know how I feel about her

Pit: I'd prefer to stay out of this as much as possible

Palutena: Excuse me?

Viridi: OOOOOHHHHH

Viridi: Even Pit agrees that ur a terrible boss

Pit: No that's not what I said

Viridi: No way Mr. Suck Up is growing a spine NOW of all times

Pit: I just don't want to get involved in this

Palutena: And why is that

Pittoo: He just doesn't want to admit the truth

Pittoo: That's why I exist

Pit: No

Pittoo: Yes

Pit: You exist because of a stupid mirror

Pittoo: Because you're too wimpy to say what's on your mind

Viridi: Are we psychoanalyzing Pit rn or what

Pit: Can we not do that

Hades: Do you even know what that word means

Pit: Yeah you jerk

Hades: Well I had to check bc you're not always the brightest

Pit: I can still know things

Palutena: Sometimes you make it hard to remember that

Pittoo: Do you see what I mean now pit

Palutena: I really don't appreciate this attitude

Pittoo: I'm sorry that I gave you the impression that I care about what you appreciate

Palutena: Don't make me smite you

Viridi: I can't believe you let your angels trash talk you

Viridi: My commanders always treat me with respect

Pit: Hey I haven't said anything and I don't think pit to is one of her angels

Viridi: She still let's you get away with too much

Hades: Yeah Pretty Palutena needs to grow a spine or you'll be revolting against in her in the next game

Palutena: That'll never happen bc we're not getting a new game

Hades: We only have like 11 more years until the next one

Palutena: I thought that was a joke

Viridi: Might as well be taken seriously bc at least we still have hope that we'll eventually get another one

Palutena: Hades did you curse us to have to wait until 2037 for a new game

Hades: I plead the fifth

Viridi: THIS IS ANCIENT GREECE

Hades: I refuse to speak until my lawyer is present

Pit: Do we even want to know who your lawyer is

Hades: The Hewdraw, of course

Pittoo: That sounds awful

Palutena: Those three would just be arguing with each other over some stupid piece of evidence while the judge and jury rethink their life choices

Hades: That's exactly why I made them my fake lawyer

Viridi: Fake lawyer????

Hades: Pandora is my real lawyer who'll take advantage of the chaotic court to win the case while the Hewdraw and Twinbellows distract everyone

Palutena: That is not how courts work

Pit: Do the humans even have courts like that right now

Palutena: Not exactly but they have something close

Pittoo: So do we have everything they'll have in the future

Viridi: DUH didn't you pay attention during my dialogue on the cannons????

Pittoo: I wasn't around for that

Pit: Well we do have Doctor Mario and Super Smash Brothers

Palutena: Its Super Bash Sisters but yes

Pit: So shouldn't we have all of the games that'll ever be made for our series

Viridi: Wait a gosh darn moment

Palutena: This feels like smth we shouldn't be thinking too hard about

Hades: No no let the boy do his rare thinking

Pit: Why don't you just go home

Hades: Can you stop telling me to go to hell

Hades: That's very rude Pitty

Palutena: Why are you two like this

Viridi: Maybe we just have everything that our developers have, like we have everything that exists in 2026 even though we're in Ancient Greece

Palutena: Wait that's an interesting theory

Pit: My head hurts from all this time stuff

Pittoo: Your head always hurts when you need to think critically about something for more than a second

Pit: I thought I was your favorite and you'd die without me D:

Pittoo: That doesn't mean that I have to be nice to you

Hades: Who taught Pitty how to use emoticons

Hades: I can sense that his texts are going to be ten times as corny now

Palutena: He heard abt them from a Centurion and they taught him how to do them while you were criticizing my leadership

Viridi: But why only start using them now

Pit: Just seemed like the best time ദ്ദി(˵•̀ ᴗ -˵)

Hades: Pls tell me you're not going to start using them in every text you send

Pit: Well now I'm gonna do it just to annoy you ꉂꉂ(ᵔᗜᵔ◍)

Hades: I can't believe I have to spend my dead life like this

Viridi: Wait

Viridi: HOW ARE YOU TEXTING US WHEN YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD

Hades: It took you that long to realize?

Pit: I just thought that it was something similar to uprisings post credits scene ʅ( ․ ⤙ ․)ʃ

Hades: It's smth like that but for texting

Viridi: What post credits scene

Pit: You guys didn't know about it ◔‸◔?

Palutena: Of course not

Hades: My disembodied voice just bullied Pitty and yelled at him for killing me

Pit: No I remember you saying that you were proud of me •︡ᯅ•︠

Hades: I did no such thing

Palutena: Sorry Pit but I'm gonna have to agree with Hades on this one

Viridi: Yeah him saying that he's proud of anyone just sounds out of character

Pittoo: I'd believe it

Pit: At least someone agrees with me

Viridi: Yeah but the people who actually matter disagree

Pit: Who is the main character again (눈‸눈)

Viridi: Me

Pit: No >:(

Viridi: I'm basically the main character since my arc was the best in the game

Hades: No the Chaos arc was definitely the best one

Pit: I honestly liked the alien one the most ( ˘ ³˘)♥︎

Pit: But the one with the forces of nature was the most confusing one ( ꩜ ᯅ ꩜;) 

Viridi: How was it even confusing

Pit: All of Hades commanders were gods or monsters but we never found out what your commanders were (。· v ·。) ?

Palutena: I don't think Cragalanche is a god so he's probably a "monster", but Phosphora and Arlon could've been minor lightning and moon gods

Viridi: No I think Phosphora was a nymph but I'm not really sure

Palutena: Aren't nymphs just minor nature goddesses

Viridi: Wait now I'm confused too

Pit: And most of your commanders were themed after nature stuff but then you just had some purple guy on the moon ಠ_ಠ

Pit: He's not natural at all and he's British ᓀ‸ᓂ

Pit: Why are British people in ancient Greece (⊙_⊙)¿?

Hades: I truly hate your emoticons

Pit: Good ദ്ദി ≽^⎚˕⎚^≼ .ᐟ

Palutena: Yeah Arlon honestly felt like he belonged with the Aurum rather than the Forces of Nature

Viridi: He's based on the moon! The moon is technically part of nature, so his alien stuff fits

Palutena: Lets hope they don't introduce a moon god in the next game that will completely contradict what you just said

Hades: Just like Pyrrhon

Hades: Our sun and moon characters are just all sorts of strange

Palutena: Maybe they're related

Viridi: Eh, maybe

Pittoo: I hope we don't get more gods in the next game because the ones we already have are more than enough

Pittoo: Some more humans could be nice

Viridi: H*MANS????

Viridi: THE TWO WE ALREADY HAVE ARE BAD ENOUGH

Palutena: Of course you would censor the word "humans"

Pit: But man us and gal are awesome (💢`Д´)

Palutena: Magnus and Gaol?

Pit: This is getting so annoying ಥ_ಥ

Palutena: Yeah I'm gonna have to teach you how to read and write asap

Viridi: Those two barely have anything going for them!

Viridi: Besides they're only two out of the thousands of h*mans who are AWFUL

Hades: Gaol was actually pretty amazing when I got that cursed armor on her

Hades: But any human could've worked just fine

Palutena: When you put the WHAT on her

Pittoo: When was cursed armor ever established as a thing

Hades: Don't you guys ever read the idol descriptions

Pit: No :(

Hades: Of course you don't for obvious reasons

Palutena: There's hundreds of them! No one has the time to read all of them!

Hades: Well your laziness gave Pitty misinformation during Chapter 2!

Hades: You said that Gaol couldn't resist the Underworld's temptation but she was actually just captured and put in that cursed armor

Palutena: How was I supposed to know that???

Viridi: Don't you have an All Seeing Eye

Viridi: So you should've seen that h*man being possessed by armor

Palutena: My botched laser eye surgery made my All Seeing Eye a Slightly Less Seeing Eye

Viridi: You're so dumb

Hades: It really was a shame to lose such a good commander

Hades: I wonder what she's doing now

Hades: Maybe she and that other human went and had another baby human

Palutena: I do not want to be thinking abt that

Pit: Are you saying that gal and man us had a kid :0

Hades: My goodness Pitty! Who else would that Magnus fellow have had a kid with besides one of his mercenary partners?

Pittoo: Didn't that man us guy have a kid that you killed

Hades: That is completely beside the point

Pit: I just thought that he liked someone I didn't know, I was mostly just wondering why he was so strong ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Palutena: Some people think that one of his parents might've been a god and he might've been based on Heracles

Palutena: So maybe that's why he's so strong

Viridi: Of course you'd be a massive nerd and type out the Greek name instead of the popular Roman one

Pit: Can the gods in our games even have kids with humans       ( ・◇・)?

Palutena: Probably but I'd never because my Greek inspiration didn't fall in love with anyone

Viridi: Lets not be too strict with the Greek inspo stuff since that would make you Hades's niece

Palutena: I'd genuinely hate that

Hades: I'd be an amazing uncle!

Hades: But the little rose bud is probably right since she herself doesn't really have a solid inspiration

Palutena: Maybe she's based on Demeter, the goddess of agriculture

Hades: Ew no I don't want her to be my sister

Viridi: My nature is way more wild than that stupid farming

Palutena: Artemis? Goddess of wilderness and hunting?

Viridi: I don't HUNT animals and I don't really care about them all that much in general

Viridi: And she's mostly associated with the moon nowadays and I'm not

Palutena: Persephone? Goddess of spring?

Viridi: I DON'T WANNA BE HADES'S WIFE

Palutena: Gaia? Primordial goddess of the earth?

Pittoo: She's not that strong

Viridi: HOW DARE YOU

Hades: He's completely right for once

Palutena: I honestly can't think of anyone else, are you even based on anything from Greek myth?

Viridi: Probably not

Pit: Well I am (¬◡¬)✧

Viridi: Yeah yeah we all know that Icarus guy

Pit: Who's that (´・_・`)?

Pit: I was talking about that arrows guy :|

Hades: There's no way you don't know who Icarus is

Pit: I only know that he's who the series was named after

Palutena: And that's how things are going to stay

Palutena: And I'm not entirely sure if he's based on Eros since that was the closest thing to an angel in Greek myth and they both use a bow and arrow, but that's pretty much where the similarities end

Hades: Yeah I can just tell that Pitty Pat's not focused on love at all

Palutena: He did ask me if I was gonna give him a machine-gun-robot girlfriend once

Pit: Hey don't just give away my secrets >:(

Viridi: I can't believe this is our main character

Viridi: Some idiot who can't fly and is a complete doofus

Pit: Hey there's no need to bring up the flying thing >:[

Hades: I don't get why it's such a sensitive subject

Pittoo: Maybe because we're literally the only angels who can't fly

Viridi: But isn't that the only reason you two are alive

Pit: That's only time our wings have been helpful without one of you doing your magic stuff ╥﹏╥

Hades: But you never told me why!

Hades: It's very rude to leave everyone on a cliffhanger when it comes to such an important part of your character!

Palutena: I think it was something he was born with

Viridi: His wings grew when I used my power of flight so maybe they're just too small

Viridi: How could you not know

Hades: Yeah didn't you create Pitty

Palutena: He just works for me! I don't know who made him

Pittoo: Yet another thing you guys are hoping will be answered in the next game

Pit: The mythical next game that might not even happen               。°(°¯᷄◠¯᷅°)°。

Palutena: But seriously there are so many unanswered questions that I'm surprised we don't have another game yet

Hades: The Chaos Kin and it's entire existence, for instance

Pittoo: I've heard that some people think that viridian made it

Viridi: WHAT

Viridi: WHY

Viridi: HOW

Pit: A yellow eye is the symbol of your forces and the chaos kin has a yellow eye ‎·ࡇ·

Pittoo: And you had it

Viridi: THAT DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING

Hades: Well we know it doesn't work for me

Palutena: And definitely not for me

Pittoo: You're the only major god left who it could work for

Viridi: No!

Viridi: They could always introduce its boss in the next game!

Viridi: Isn't there a Chaos in Greek myth?????

Palutena: Yeah but she is a little too powerful to introduce in only the third game in the series

Hades: Pitty fighting against Chaos before the Titans or Giants would just be ridiculous

Dyntos: It's also ridiculous for you gods to be more concerned with the lore of our video games rather than your responsibilities!

Palutena: Lord Dyntos???? Have you been lurking in the chat the whole time?

Dyntos: Of course I have! You five have been blowing up the notifications on this new phone for the past few hours!

Palutena: Oh, my apologies!

Viridi: You're such a suck up around him omg

Dyntos: You'd do well to learn to show a little more respect, lass!

Pittoo: I doubt this random god has done anything to warrant that much respect

Hades: Wow Pittooey, I can't believe you haven't heard of one of the canonically strongest characters in the whole series

Pittoo: How is this guy one of the most powerful gods

Pit: He made a bunch of pocket dimensions ᯣ_ᯣ

Viridi: He made almost all of the weapons in the game

Hades: He can make forgeries of almost any creature

Palutena: He put me to sleep when I was no where near him

Palutena: He magically transported phones into all of our hands, including Hades's dead self, despite us living in Ancient Greece

Dyntos: And don't forget that my Great Sacred Treasure is the entire reason Hades was defeated!

Pittoo: Geez alright he's powerful

Dyntos: You're darn right I am!

Dyntos: And since you five have been utterly annoying for the past few hours and getting none of your godly duties done, I'm deleting any and all ways of communication from your phones!

Viridi: Seriously?

Dyntos: Yes! You and Palutena need to get back to running your realms, Hades needs to get back to being dead, and those angels need to go be annoying somewhere else!

Dyntos: Get back to work!!!

Dyntos has deleted the chat

Notes:

And that's the end of the first fanfic I've ever had the courage to finish and post! I hope writing really does get easier the more you do it because this one thing took me a whole month to write. The other fic I'm working on has taken almost half a year and it's not even halfway done, but I have more confidence now so I should be able to write a little faster.

Let me know what you think, and have an amazing day/night/whatever <3!
