[edit] Story
Palutena, one night, has a horrible dream that an army of demons attacks her beloved Angel Land. The worried goddess summons a soothsayer so that the soothsayer could explain her dreams. The soothsayer explains that it was not just a dream and it would soon come to pass that a demon named Orcos would attack Angel Land. Palutena then summons Pit and explains the crisis to him, she commands him to obtain the Three Sacred treasures so that he would be worthy of using them when Orcos finally attacks.
