'''Scorched Feathers''' is the twenty-second chapter in the main storyline of ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]'', and is unique in the fact that it features [[Dark Pit]] as a playable character. Due to Dark Pit's ability of unlimited flight, the chapter is made up of only an Aerial Mission and the Boss Battle. It takes place in the Underworld as Dark Pit makes his way to the City of Souls in order to find the [[Rewind Spring]] to restore Pit's burnt-off wings. | '''Scorched Feathers''' is the twenty-second chapter in the main storyline of ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]'', and is unique in the fact that it features [[Dark Pit]] as a playable character.

After [[Pit]] rescues [[Palutena]]'s spirit and saves Dark Pit from the [[Chaos Kin]], his wings are revealed to have been nearly completely burnt off and he is left in an unconscious state. Palutena fears that, without his wings, Pit won't be able to survive and she sends Dark Pit to the Underworld in order to find a way to save her captain. Dark Pit reluctantly agrees due to the debt he owes Pit for saving his life, and embarks toward a location known as the City of Souls, home of the Rewind Spring capable of restoring anything dipped in its waters to its previous state. Along the way, Palutena explains her plan and [[Viridi]] comments on the Goddess of Light's risky business of cheating death. Palutena acknowledges the nature of her actions but goes along with them. | After [[Pit]] rescues [[Palutena]]'s spirit and saves Dark Pit from the [[Chaos Kin]], his wings are revealed to have been nearly completely burnt off and he is left in an unconscious state.

Once in the City of Souls, [[Hades]] joins the conversation, to Dark Pit's annoyance, and it becomes clear that the lord of the Underworld has been using souls to craft his monsters along with letting them be consumed by both himself and a monster residing within the City of Souls. Realizing that Hades has thrown off the balance of the Underworld, Overworld, and heavens, Palutena, Viridi, and Dark Pit all agree that Hades needs to be stopped. But, as Viridi points out, they would need Pit to accomplish that goal. Dark Pit makes his way to the Rewind Spring, but ends up stunned momentarily before he can do anything once there. [[Pandora]] emerges from the Spring, being resurrected by the powers that Dark Pit stole from her shortly after his creation. Dark Pit battles her and she retreats back into the Spring, only to come out as [[Amazon Pandora]], her human form | Once in the City of Souls, [[Hades]] joins the conversation, to Dark Pit's annoyance, and it becomes clear that the lord of the Underworld has been using souls to craft his monsters along with letting them be consumed by both himself and a monster residing within the City of Souls.

The Aerial Mission of this chapter is rather long when compared to previous chapters due to the lack of a Ground Mission. Dark Pit fights in the same way Pit does and has access to any and all weapons the player has on hand before the battle begins. He'll encounter many of the usual enemies fought in Aerial battles, but in greater numbers. Dark Pit will receive Recovery Orbs twice during the battle and also must take down a soul-eating monster that appears just after the half-way point of the battle. Hades appears in the background once Dark Pit reaches the City of Souls itself, but he cannot be hit. The Aerial Mission ends once Dark Pit reaches a lone platform that holds the Rewind Spring. | The Aerial Mission of this chapter is rather long when compared to previous chapters due to the lack of a Ground Mission.

It should be noted that Dark Pit cannot cross the water of the Spring and is restricted to its outer rim for his movements. | It should be noted that Dark Pit cannot cross the water of the Spring and is restricted to its outer rim for his movements. | ||
==Epilogue== | |||
Dark Pit defeats Pandora once again, this time for good, and Palutena sends an unconscious Pit next to him. Dark Pit quickly dips Pit's tattered wings into the spring and its power restores them, reviving Pit, who jumps up with an ecstatic cheer. But, before he can mention anything to Dark Pit, the latter jumps off the side of the spring, only to find himself unable to fly. Viridi retrieves him, and Palutena extracts Pit back to Skyworld as he tells her how much he missed her. | |||

*Rather obviously, the title of the chapter likely refers to the state of Pit's wings from the previous chapter. | *Rather obviously, the title of the chapter likely refers to the state of Pit's wings from the previous chapter. | ||
*''Scorched Feathers'' is one of only two chapters that features a character other than Pit as playable, the other being ''[[The Ring of Chaos]]'' that features a little girl, a dog, and [[Magnus]] before finally switching to Pit for the Aerial battle. | *''Scorched Feathers'' is one of only two chapters that features a character other than Pit as playable, the other being ''[[The Ring of Chaos]]'' that features a little [[girl]], a dog, and [[Magnus]] before finally switching to Pit for the Aerial battle. | ||
*Likewise, this is the only chapter in the game that doesn't feature Pit as the playable character at all for the duration of the chapter, albeit featuring Dark Pit instead. | *Likewise, this is the only chapter in the game that doesn't feature Pit as the playable character at all for the duration of the chapter, albeit featuring Dark Pit instead. | ||
