Pit learns quickly from Palutena that the Underworld Army had come forth, signalling Medusa's return. At Palutena's request, Pit leaves Skyworld using the Power of Flight and heads to [[That First Town]], where he finds that the humans haven't lost hope and are cheering the return of the Goddess of Light. Pit fights through the town and defeats [[Twinbellows]]. Pit then heads off to [[Dark Lord Gaol's Castle]] to aid the humans in their battles against the Underworld Army and meets [[Magnus]], a powerful human fighter whom he teams up with to defeat [[Gaol]], but later finds that Gaol was actually a human woman.  

Later, Medusa sends the Underworld Army straight to Skyworld, likely in retaliation for Gaol's defeat, and Pit heads out to defeat [[Hewdraw]] in [[That Burning Town]]. Then, Palutena sends Pit to the [[Reaper Fortress]] to disable the obscurity the [[Reaper]]s were using to hide [[Pandora]], the Goddess of Calamity. While there, he runs into the dreaded [[Eggplant Wizard]], lamenting his past with this creature. He continues on to defeat the [[Great Reaper]], thus completing his mission.

Having found Pandora's [[Labyrinth of Deceit]], Palutena sends Pit there next but both encounter mind-boggling troubles within the labyrinth. Once he reaches his destination, Palutena later explains that they're looking for the [[Mirror of Truth]], an object that creates a copy of the true thoughts and feelings of whomever looks into it, and that the Underworld is using it to duplicate monsters. Pit reaches Pandora and defeats her once, and she shows him the Mirror of Truth, which he destroys it. However, just as he does, the Mirror casts a reflection of him and creates [[Dark Pit]]. Instead of following Pandora's orders, Dark Pit hits her and teams up with Pit to defeat her. However, as soon as she falls, Dark Pit knocks Pit back. Pit argues that he is the original, but Dark Pit ignores him and dives through Pandora's remnants, gaining an ability of his own to fly indefinitely, and he leaves before Pit can pursue him. Palutena tracks Dark Pit down and sends Pit after him, fearing that he may be allied with the Underworld Army, but an exchange between Dark Pit and Medusa reveals that he has no intentions of aligning himself with her. Pit follows him to a location of ruins and battles him before Dark Pit finally retreats.  

Palutena and Pit return to the focus of defeating Medusa and he heads for the [[Seafloor Palace]], meeting [[Poseidon]] along the way before he enters the [[Seafloor Palace|palace]] to defeat [[Thanatos]], who has the [[Underworld Key]], a gem that allows the owner to travel into the Underworld. Pit defeats him and claims the key, but learns from Palutena that he'll need the [[Three Sacred Treasures]] to challenge Medusa along with the fact that said weapons were stolen by the [[Space Pirates]]. Pit goes to retrieve them before the Underworld Army can, defeating the Pirates and a [[Space Kraken]].

Pit then dons the Three Sacred Treasures and heads to the Underworld, fighting through both her usual minions and souls crafted to resemble Twinbellows, Hewdraw, and Pandora, before finally challenging her to a battle. Pit defeats her and returns to Skyworld, believing his battle is over, but [[Hades]], the true lead of the Underworld reveals himself as the mastermind behind Medusa's resurrection and the invasion. Pit changes targets to Hades and heads to a [[Phoenix Mountain|volcanic area]] to fight off the Underworld Army, only to find that Hades was after the [[Wish Seed]], an object that the [[Phoenix]] was guarding. The angel goes to defeat the Phoenix, despite learning that the Wish Seed was a fake, sparking a beacon to the humans that the Phoenix had been beaten. Hades uses the beacon as an opportunity to alert the humans that the Wish Seed had been stolen, leading to a great war between them for the chance to get it.

Pit goes to the [[Reset Bomb Depot]] to put a stop to Viridi's production of her ultimate weapons, and despite her avid protests and sending of her Forces of Nature to get in his way, he destroys the depot. Later, he heads to the [[Lunar Sanctum]] to challenge [[Arlon]], one of Viridi's high-ranking followers, only to be ambushed by Dark Pit while there. Pit triumphs over both adversaries and effectively blows up the Lunar Sanctum, unknowingly freeing a [[Chaos Kin|creature]]. Pit then heads to defeat [[Phosphora]], another of Viridi's loyal followers, putting a large dent in Viridi's plans.

However, before they can do anything else, Hades, Viridi, and Palutena find that their world is under attack by a mysterious race of aliens known as the [[Aurum]], and Palutena sends Pit to deal with the threat before they destroy everything. The three sides make a temporary alliance to stop the Aurum. Pit, with a little help from [[Pyrrhon]], the self-proclaimed Sun God, destroys the Aurum. However, Pyrrhon betrays them and fuses with the [[Aurum Brain]]. Fortunately, he still makes his way back to [[Aurum Pyrrhon]] and defeats him, causing an end to the Aurum invasion.  

Unfortunately, before he can celebrate, Pit finds himself having been turned into a [[Ring of Chaos|ring of sorts]]. However, a [[girl]] comes across the ring and put it on, causing Pit to take control of her. He finds that a nearby human town is under attack and sees the Centurions among the chaos, then decides to investigate. However, the girl trips and falls, losing the ring, and it is picked up by a [[dog]]. Using the dog, he hurries to the town and finds that [[Pit's Body|his body]] is attacking the town, much to his confusion. He then finds Magnus, who takes the ring and inspects it then tosses it away, but Magnus eventually returns and puts it on. The two then find that Pit has taken control of Magnus's body and they can communicate due to the connection, and Magnus explains that three years had gone by since they fought Dark Lord Gaol. Palutena had apparently disappeared for a time, and later returned with her army to fight against the humans. Pit can barely believe what he heard, and uses Magnus's body to recover his own.  

Shortly later, Viridi retrieves him and sends him to Skyworld, where he discovers that his home had been ruined by the continuous attacks caused by the Underworld. Palutena tells him that she was sick of dealing with the humans and prevents the angel from entering her temple with a force field. Pit retreats to Viridi for the time being and then goes to obtain the [[Lightning Chariot]], hoping to use it to break through the barrier surrounding Palutena's temple. After battling its [[Chariot Master|former master]], Pit successfully takes it and breaks into the temple, finding that Palutena had been possessed by the [[Chaos Kin]]. Pit defeats it and frees her, only to find that the Chaos Kin had stolen her soul and disappeared within the [[Chaos Vortex]]. Dark Pit shows up, claiming that the two needed to rescue Palutena's spirit as quickly as possible.  

Pit heads into the Chaos Vortex to pursue the Chaos Kin and eventually tracks it down, only to have it disappear for a time and trap him within an endurance battle between him and itself. Dark Pit shows up later to help him through it, and the two defeat the Chaos Kin. However, as Pit is checking on Palutena, the remnants of the Chaos Kin capture Dark Pit and send him off the edge of the platform the three were on. Without a second thought, Pit jumps after him and begs Viridi to let him fly. Viridi refuses, telling him that it would just cause his wings to catch fire. Pit doesn't care, realizing that the Chaos Kin was only going to destroy Dark Pit, and Viridi reluctantly gives him the Power of Flight. Pit catches Dark Pit and Viridi sends them back to Skyworld with Palutena, and they find that Pit's wings had been badly burned. Palutena cradles his unconscious body, lamenting the state of her captain and remembering his former wish—to fly on his own.

Pit dons the Three Sacred Treasures once again and heads out to confront Hades, but Hades ends up destroying the Treasures a short time into the fight and ultimately eats the angel. Pit fights his way though Hades's bowels until he comes across the god's [[Hades' Heart|heart]], which he defeats. Once the battle is over, Dark Pit saves him using the Lightning Chariot and Palutena retrieves them both.  

Having lost the Three Sacred Treasures, Palutena sends Pit to the smith god who created them, [[Dyntos]]. Once there, Dyntos challenges Pit to pass three trials, involving Pit's proving himself by defeating recreations of former enemies and bosses along with the new weapon itself. Pit triumphs and claims the [[Great Sacred Treasure]], a robotic weapon that he mans from the inside. Pit uses it to head out and confront Hades once more, and manages to weaken the Lord of the Underworld significantly. Unfortunately, Hades all but destroys the Great Sacred Treasure and prepares an attack that will ultimately end Pit, but a revived Medusa shows up and stops him before he destroys her. Palutena instructs Pit to take the cannon of the Great Sacred Treasure and focuses her power to charge it as Viridi gives Pit the Power of Flight. Once the charge is complete, Pit fires it and defeats Hades, bringing the war to an end=.  

**Pit's own name seems to be derived from Cupid himself, particularly from the ''pid'' part of Cupid. There is evidence to this as seen in the Japanese version of ''Uprising'' as shown in [[Chapter 11]], [[Viridi]] mentions that Pit's name (which is ピット ''Pitto'' in Japan) is unoriginal because he resembles Cupid (キューピット ''Kyūpitto'').  

*In ''[[smashwiki:Super Smash Bros. Melee|Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', Pit appears as a trophy, with the words "Will he ever fight again?" imprinted on it, which could be a foreshadowing of his eventual inclusion in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''.

*Pit has a tendency to break through the fourth wall a lot, referencing other Nintendo franchises and situations, such as when he points out that [[Komayto]]s "look like little Metroids" or saying that he and [[Twinbellows]] are going to "rack up some serious Nintendogs trainer points together."  

*Pit appears to be ambidextrous as he is shown to be capable of using weapons skillfully with either hand. However, he is mainly depicted to be dominantly left-handed in the classic ''Kid Icarus'' games and in his ''Super Smash Bros.'' appearances while he is mainly right-handed in ''Uprising''.
