Kid Icarus: Uprising: Part 23: Chapter 21: The Chaos Vortex

Описание: Just as Pit had rescued his Lady Palutena from the Chaos Kin's possessive clutches, the demonic creature then clutched into Palutena's body and ripped her soul out, reducing her to stone, all before retreating back into its home dimension, the Chaos Vortex.

With both Viridi and now Dark Pit's help, Pit must enter into the Chaos Vortex, himself, chase down that Chaos Kin, and take back Palutena's soul in one last effort to save the Goddess of Light's life!

AIR BATTLE - (02:00 - 06:30)

Without any further hesitation, Pit used Viridi's Power of Flight and sail right into the Chaos Vortex.

Indeed, this vortex was very chaotic, and quick to scare Pit. Even Viridi got caught off-guard. Pit even gets put through a dark inverted void, only to get himself all dirty, but then he gets cleaned up by flying through a hot spring.

Quickly after this, Pit managed to catch up to the Chaos Kin. Unfortunately, the Chaos Kin can make fake copies of itself, as well as shadow copies of Pit.

At 4:50, Viridi spots the REAL Chaos Kin. Now to HUNT IT DOWN!
----

No matter where the chase takes Pit, make sure you just keep shooting at the creature and watch out for any fakes that will distract you away from the real deal.

The chase, however, took a bit long enough that Pit's Power of Flight was starting to run out.

If you manage to damage the Chaos Kin enough to make it smack into a rock, that's the point where you need to FINISH IT OFF!

If you take too long by that point, it'll get away for good. An instant Game Over so sad that it'll even make Viridi apologize to Pit not being able to save Palutena...

However, if you DO manage to take the Chaos Kin down, that'll still only be the first half of this Chapter. Or rather... the first third of it...
----------

LAND BATTLE - (06:30 - 20:15)

Knocking the Chaos Kin down led Pit to chase it down to an island, but it had only begun to fight!

Pit must now go through several waves of battle against different enemies that the Chaos Kin summons against him, and they are many enemies that he had already faced before. Some of them are even Aurum troops that move like Game & Watch games.

During the 8th wave, some of the enemies Pit faces are Komaytos. He realized that they looked a lot like Metroids...

This totally put Viridi through the motions, as she hated whenever Pit broke the fourth wall. She might end up complaining to this game's director about this!
----

This is quite a courted part of Chapter 21 that, once again, the Land Battle to be split into two parts by a loading screen. This happens after the 8th wave is done.

In the 9th wave, Dark Pit finally appears again to lend a hand to his white twin.

Dark Pit had realized that he and Pit are more symbolically-linked to each other than they realized before. When Pit was stuck in the Chaos Ring, Dark Pit lost all senses of himself. One Pit just literally could not live and exist without the other. This is why Dark Pit's on before to rescue Palutena's soul.

During the 13th and final wave, both Pits decided to make a rallying cry of battle against their remaining enemies as the Chaos Kin drew closer to their range. It looked like they were finally bonding after their previous conflicts.
----------

Then at least, it was time to take down the Chaos Kin itself, once and for all.

Viridi puts up the a barrier to keep the Chaos Kin from escaping, and then sets up an electro trap in center of the field to lock the Chaos Kin down for free hits. If you take too long to beat it, Viridi will set more traps.
----------

Eventually, the Chaos Kin was finally squashed, and Palutena was nearby to finally regain her soul and return back to normal.

But alas... the Chaos Kin STILL had one last trick up its sleeve... to stole away Dark Pit!

Pit dove after Dark Pit to save him, urging Viridi to give him the Power of Flight again, even if it meant burning his wings. He didn't care! He wanted to save "Pitoo!"

To finish this Chapter off, have Pit's red reticle line up with Dark Pit's. It's actually still pretty lenient, but if you fail, you'll have to try again.

Succeed, however, and...
----------

Pit managed to catch Dark Pit, and then Viridi rushed to pull them both away and back to Palutena.

She, Dark Pit, and Viridi then had to witness a gruesome sight...

Pit was unconscious, and his wings... They've burned off... BADLY.

It was always Pit's dream to be able to fly by himself, but now that his wings were gone, not even the Power of Flight will allow him such a blessing, anymore...

What will Palutena do now, without her courageous captain to save the day from Hades...?
