An exhausted Pit is sent into battle once more by Palutena, but the foe this time is neither the Underworld Army or the Forces of Nature. They are definitely from off-world, and none of the gods can claim responsibility for the chaos this time around.
The invaders attack everything indiscriminately, destroying Underworld and Nature troops alike, and they gun for Pit especially hard. Tribyte fighters zip across the screen at odd angles. Jyok pause before Pit, unfold from their little boxes into laser cannons, fire, and fly away almost as quickly as they appear. Their ships look like mountains in the skies, with flying Dohz saucers patrolling between them. Not even Palutena knows who or what they are.
The Sun God Pyrrhon flashes onto the scene and informs the pantheon that the invaders are called the Aurum, and that this is only a small sample of their total might. For the moment, it looks as though all must stand together against the alien threat.
Be careful as Pit flies closer to the Aurum islands, the air is thick with the aliens. Recovery Orbs can be picked up after a set of large rolling enemies, Kolmas, pass in front of Pit.
The Sun God’s zeal for combat gets Palutena to find Pit the nearest exit to the other side of the islands, somewhere not next to Pyrrhon. The passage is extremely tight and the Aurum line the walls.
Survive the dive through the canyon, you’ll emerge into a scene of devastation. The Aurum are harvesting the entire planet. Palutena guides Pit to a nearby tower, where she believes the Aurum can be stopped.
