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.

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.

===Soul-Eating Monster Miniboss=== | |||
During his travels through the City of Souls, Dark Pit encounters the Soul-Eating Monster, a creature that dwells within the city, devouring leftover souls. Having spotted Dark Pit, the monster now seeks to make the dark angel its next meal. The fight is relatively simple. Dark Pit must first target the sac-like growths on the monster's back, releasing the devoured souls. Once the growths are destroyed, a red light will appear in its maw. Dark Pit must target that to finish it off. The monster only has one attack: firing laser blasts from its growths. | |||
