The Space-Pirate Ship: Difference between revisions

'''''The Space-Pirate Ship''''' is the eighth chapter in the storyline of ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]''. This mission introduces the [[Space Pirate]]s and their dangerous [[Space Pirate Ship]], which serves as the primary battleground of the chapter. [[Pit|Pit's]] goal in this part of the adventure is to take back the [[Three Sacred Treasures]], which have been stolen by the malicious pirates. Not much is known about this chapter aside from a portion of the aerial mission.

Pit will begin this mission in the [[Galctic Sea]], where star constellations are born and held in place. It isn't long before the Space Pirate Ship comes bursting out of this ocean and breaks one of the connecting lines of a nearby c[[File:Starshipattack.jpg|left|thumb|Pit going against the Space Pirate Ship.]]onstellation. Rather than fight, the Space Pirates will quickly pilot their ship into the distance, with Pit giving chase. [[Palutena]] claims that the pirates somehow got ahold of the Three Sacred Treasures during their travels, becoming a target of the [[Underworld]] army as a result. What begins as a pursuit turns into a frantic race against [[Medusa|Medusa's minions]] as they attempt to break into the Space Pirate Ship while it begins utilizing its many laser cannons, turning the area around it into a chaotic battlefield. Pit and Palutena must figure out how to get inside the ship before the Underworld forces can make it in first.

Very little is known about the inside of the Space Pirate Ship, although it will seemingly feature three-way battles between Pit, the Underworld army, and the powerful crew of the ship itself. During the mission, Pit will come across the Space Pirate Captain, who will use a special horn to summon Space Pirates to battle Pit and the Underworld forces. Some notable areas have been seen within the massive ship, such as a storage room where the pirates keep the constellations that they have captured. About halfway through the level, there is a room containing a Hot Spring and a lone Space Pirate soaking in it- hang around in the Hot Spring long enough and a Treasure Chest containing Hearts will appear. In addition to the areas located within the Space Pirates' craft, Pit will also travel extensively along the outside of its hull by using [[Grind Rail]]s set up by Palutena, as well as numerous celestial pathways that form along the ship itself.
