==Aerial Mission==

The aerial portion of this chapter is unique in that Pit rides the Lightning Chariot instead of flying normally to reach the temple, battling waves of [[Underworld]] enemies along the way. It’s also rather short due to the chariot’s incredible travel speed, and takes place within a vortex leading straight to the temple. Controlling the Lightning Chariot is similar to typical flight missions, although it takes place from a birds eye perspective, increasing the difficulty of dodging enemy fire as a result. During this time, [[Viridi]] explains that Palutena’s sudden aggressive behavior could be the [[Chaos Kin]]’s doing, claiming that the creature was freed after Pit destroyed the [[Lunar Sanctum]] during [[The Lunar Sanctum|Chapter 13]]. Before she can further elaborate on this monster’s origins, the aerial mission suddenly ends as the Lightning Chariot swiftly crashes through and obliterates the force field surrounding Palutena’s Temple. Pit proceeds to land for battle, while Viridi summons [[Phosphora]] to guard the chariot for him.

==Ground Mission==

Just as Pit begins his mission, Palutena expresses shock that the angel made it through the barrier. She claims the humans are ungrateful and mocks Pit for trying to defend them, while he tries to convince the goddess to end her newfound tyranny. Throughout this chapter, both Palutena’s Army and the Underworld Army serve as enemies, although there is occasionally infighting amongst the two forces. As Pit makes his way into the temple, he comes across an [[Exo Tank]] and a race track that he can use to plow through the [[Centurion]]s that guard the temple. Along the way, Viridi describes the Chaos Kin and its unique ability to control the soul of its host, likely explaining Palutena’s treacherous behavior. After hearing this fact, Pit concludes that he has no choice but to face Palutena in battle to break the creature’s control over her. It isn’t long before [[Hades]] excitedly joins in on the conversation, although the Underworld god admits that even he finds the Chaos Kin to be a major threat. Despite this, he still summons many powerful enemies to irritate Pit along the way, some of which include [[Erinus]]es that split in half when attacked, as well as a deadly [[Tempura Wizard]] towards the chapter’s end. During the latter part of the mission, Pit has to find a key in a small, maze-like dungeon where some valuable treasures are located. A second Exo Tank is also used to jump across a set of floating islands that lead to the primary structure of the temple. Here, Pit has to battle one final wave of dangerous Centurions and a [[Juggernaut]] before proceeding to the courtyard where Palutena awaits him.
