Pit had continued watching the events that transpired below. And after seeing everything that happened, he was standing there in pure shock.

"What on Earth..."

As he continued to stand there frozen, trying to wrap his head around what was happening, a bright light shun behind him. He turned and saw the silhouette of the very Goddess he served, Palutena. He walked to her and knelled down.

"Lady Palutena, you saw what happened to the earthlings below?"

"Yes. They need your help, Pit. They don't know it, but they are about to face an evil force greater than they can imagine. You must go down there, warn them of this danger and help them vanquish it. Do you understand?"

Pit nodded and Palutena extended out her arm. From the palm of her hand, a golden ball of light appeared and morphed into a dual-edged bow.

"Take this with you, it will defend you against the enemies that lurk below."

The bow floated towards Pit, and upon grabbing it, two golden rings formed on his wrist.

"It is yours and yours alone to wield. Now go, there isn't much time."

"Got it," Pit rushed off in the opposite direction to one of the doors leading outside of the temple. Turning away from the door as it opened, he felt the wind rush against him and fell backwards. Taking a moment to enjoy the wind against him, he focused himself and guided himself through the clouds while Palutena kept him up. Even though Pit was an angel with wings, he couldn't fly on his own. He relied on Palutena's power to keep him up, but even then it didn't last for long. Once he spotted the land that covered his home, Skyworld, he flew towards it and landed.

Palutena's voice echoed in his head, "This is as far as I can take you. Remember your mission, Pit. Good luck and be safe."

"Understood. I won't let you down, Lady Palutena!"

Pit started his travel through the vast clouds and land of Skyworld and couldn't help but feel rather nostalgic. After all, it's been quite a while since he was given a mission. And he always did enjoy the scenery his home gave him. The world just looked all the more exotic when seen from the heavens.

He reached a patch of land that gave a wide view of the world below. Everything seemed normal, until he felt a strange rumbling. He then saw the mass of red clouds appear and the ship he saw back at the stadium come from them. It floated over him, releasing the purple spores all over the clouds that formed together into the strange creatures. And they were completely surrounding him. 

"I figured they wouldn't make this easy," Pit grabbed the bow with both hands and pulled it apart, turning it into two short blades, "Bring it on!"

The creatures began attacking him. He noted that the Primids and Spaaks he saw back at the stadium were there, but there were also some new creatures as well. The first was a strange cylindrical creature that looked like it was made out of metal that was called a Cymul. They didn't move around like the others, but it spun small triangle shaped blades around it whenever Pit got close. Luckily he was able to avoid them easily by shooting them with his bow. The same couldn't be said about the other one he fought. It was called a Greap. It was larger than every other creature he saw, with a circular black body, wheels for feet and two large scythes nearly as long as its body that acted like its arms. It attacked him by slamming its scythes into the ground and spinning them around its body whenever he tried to jump over it. Fortunately, when it slammed its scythe arms into the ground, it was stuck for a few seconds before it could pull them free, leaving it vulnerable. And Pit found out that attacking its head did more damage, though it did take a few precise shots to defeat it.
