Seiya POV - Japan, Miho Beach - 1986

  As I hear the calming sound of the o's waves as they crash on the sand, I look around and quickly notice the presence of Ikki, standing near Shun, who is ying on the sand still unscious, and near me there are Shiryu, and Hyoga, they too, are ying on the sand still knocked out by Ikki's move, then I turn to Ikki and ask the question that is swirling in my head since I noticed his instantaneous ge as soon as I defeated him, "Ikki, what is really going on here?".

  But before he could answer, I hear the voice of an unknown young man "Allow me to expin, young Saint..." and turning in the dire of the voice, I see the young boy to which I entrusted Shiryu's bell, and a tall young man with green eyes, no eyebrows and has two tik dots on his forehead like the young boy, long straight and tied faint lic hair, and his face has noble features, seeing him I raise my guard and ask "Who are you?".

  And snapping his fihe young man makes my Cloth appear o him out of nowhere and says "I'm the one who revived this and Shiryu's Cloth, and also the one who teleported all of you out of the colpsing cave, I'm Mu the Cloth Repairer", hearing that I slightly lower my guard and ask "So, you know what is going on?", Mu nods and replies "Yes, all this from the Gaxian Wars to the fight with the Bck Saints, nned and orchestrated by Jayr to train the new geion of Saints for the ing Holy War... In fact, Ikki here never succumbed to his hate, but choose to take this evil role to train you all...".

  'I khat the Gaxian Wars was iy a rouse orchestrated by Saori-ojousan, who is the reination of Athena, to train and bring out the evil hidden in the Sanctuary as Nee-san told me before, but to think that even Ikki's revolt is, iy, all an act... What the hell is going on here!!?' but my chaotic thoughts are interrupted by the boy o Mu who yells "Huh? Those fieros! They're ing! What incredible speed! They have caught up with us!!".

  And the instant I see a young man with feminiures, long blond hair, and blue eyes, wearing a Cloth, made of a headpiece, which surrounds the entire head, and is more massive on the forehead and temples, breastpte, and shoulder pads, with a rounded shape and is retively small, c only the upper half of the chest and back, at the front it is essentially a thick metal pte that mimics the tours of the pectoral muscles, bracelets are practically drical, and protect the hand, wrist and forearm, past the fio the elbow, shin guards cover the entire leg, from the toes to the knee, front to front and bad the st piece is a rather simple belt.

  [colpse]The newer then says "Just as I thought, not many could have pulled off a trick like that... The legendary Mu of Jamir, you should have stuck to Cloth repair... Why did you save those Bronze Saints? Never mind, just hand them over", but Mu isn't intimidated and calmly asks "And if I won't?".

  The unknown Saint, doesn't answer and quickly points his fi Mu, and before I could realize what happened, a big crater appears on the ground in front of Mu, and at the same time, I notice that Mu's position is now a few steps bad think 'They moved so fast!! I couldn't even follow them!', then the Silver Saint unfazed says "Heh, I'll make a hole in you!", but right at this moment, I hear a familiar voice that says "Wait, Mitsy! You weren't ordered to kill Mu".

  Seeing who spoke, I only yell "Marin-san!!", she is indeed Marin, my master, wearing her Cloth, posed of 8 pieces, two knee pads, which cover the kneecap, a single armband for the left forearm, which goes from the fio the elbows; a kind of biceps protector, always for the left arm, a double shoulder pad, a breastpte, which covers the breasts and a minimal part of the back, a kind of neckd a -headband, and the primary color is cobalt, with white and yellow decorations.

  [colpse]I quickly run toward her, but the unknown Saint blocks my way so I ask "Who are you?" but the Saint dismiss my question and says "You have two choices, you kill yourself or I'll kill you, don't bother to beg for your life!", stunned, I turn to Marin-san and ask "What are you talking about? Marin-san, who is this guy?", and she calmly answers "He is the Lizard Silver Saint Misty, and if you remember my lessons, a Silver Saint is far more powerful than a bronze".

  'So he is a Silver Saint...', "What does he wan...' but I'm interrupted by a strong impay back that makes me fall head first into the sand, then I feel his foot on my head as he tries to push my head further into the sand "I told you, I've e to kill all of you Bronze Saints! You should already be lying dead under Mount Fuji if Mu hadn't interfered and rescued you... Now choose, kill yourself or I'll keep hitting you until your skull splits open... On sed thought, I'll decide for you".

  And he raises his foot from my head to give the final blow, but I act at that moment and grab his foot stooping him and say "I'll pass on both choices... I'll fight you!!" and thropercut, but he easily evades my strike by jumping bad asks "Fight? You think you fight me?", thearts ughing loudly and says "A Bronze wants to fight a Silver... You don't uand, boy, Do you really think this is a battle? A battle between equal forces!? You're a baby o me, and you are not even wearing your Cloth! Do you think you fight me without prote? Ha ha ha!".

  Hearing that, I quickly equip my Cloth, and Misty doesn't do anything to stop me but looks at me with an amused expression on his face, then once I finished equipping my Cloth he asks "And what do you pn to do now?" and burning my o is yell "This! Pegasus Ryusei Ken (Pegasus Meteor Punch)!!" and with a quick series of punches, I create hundreds of light energy punches which looks like small meteors, but Misty doesn't even bother to defend and easily dodges all my blows, shog me to my core "He dodged them all! They didn't faze him...".

  Misty looks at me and says "Is that it boy!?" then prepare to attack, but he stops and says "It seems that the others are ing too..." then he looks in the sea dire, and I follow his gaze and I notice a giant n of water bursting out, theer parting and see a figure ing from the depths of the sea with Bck Dragon's body on the shoulder and I hear Misty says "Whale Silver Saint Moses!".

  'Another Silver Saint!?', and warily looking at him, I see he is a fairly tall young man, with a robust but quite athletic build with a muscur body, has a dark plexion, his only eye is blue, his hair is long to just below the neck, is dark green and is tousled, his body is full of scar and the most notable one is on his left eye, he is wearing a ade of the headpiece with three points, shoulder pads with 2 yers, the chest piece covers almost all of his chest, the right arm the design is simple while of the left one has a shield, the waist protector has in the sides it has 2 yers and in the ter, it has an or in form of Sun, and the knee pads are pointed.

  [colpse]He moves o Misty throwing, Bck Dragon's body into the ground and says "Ha! You are not all you cim to be, Misty, you said you would take care of all of them by yourself, but they nearly got away from you! Thankfully Marin warned us in time, but you made us nervous!" then from the distanother fident voice came, who says "Morris is right, it's a good thiook care of it for you, Misty" and I see anure with Bdromeda's body on his shoulder approag us quickly, but at the same time it looks like he is walking.

  He throws Bdromed's body on the sand and says "The Hound Silver Saint Asterion bagged the Bck Saint!", and studying him, I notice he is a young man of athletic build, with fair skin, and tortoise hair and eyes, his Cloth is also made up of 8 pieces, the head protector, which surrounds the entire head, and ends with two horns, 2 yers shoulders protectors, chest protector that c only the upper part of the chest, the arm protector covers the hand, wrist, and forearm, past the fio the elbow, the leg protector covers the entire leg, from the toes to the knee, and a belt with covers that protect the sides.

  [colpse]Then from the sky fell Bck Swan's body a a will-o-wisp appeared that fgrated in a fsh of fire, and the instant, a young man with a square face, spiky red hair, and dark eyes appeared saying "taurus Silver Saint, Babel killed the Bck Swan... even if he was already almost dead when I found him".

  His Cloth, like the rest, is made of 8 pieces, headpiece represents the taur and has some parts that go to the sides, the shoulder pads are shaped like a shell and have a pointed part, in the part of the chest does not cover much, in the belt has yers to the sides and in the ter has an or, the parts of the arms and knees are simple, and it is mainly of violet color with red ors.

  [colpse]Then I feel Marin-san quickly moving behind me a putting her hand on my shoulder she whispers "See, you are way out of your league... Luckily you don't have to fight them all, now..." notig something strange, Asterion asks "What do you mean Marin? Our order e from the Pope himself, we have to kill these Bronze Saints who have defiled the Saints' sacred duty! Are you betraying Athena and siding with these traitors!!?".

  Marin-san looks at Asterion and says "I fot about your Cloth's ability to allow you to read your target surface thoughts... a useful and dangerous ability indeed...", and Asterion, burning his o, yells "Be careful, Marin was w together with the enemy from the start!! I'll take her down with my Million Ghost Attack" thearts his preemptive move, he rises into the air with a great leap, then floating in the air, he seems to multiply hundreds of times.

  But at the same time, I felt Marin-san move, and I notice that she leaps soon after Asterion, appearing right behind him, then she uses her move the Eagle Toe Fsh, with her left leg forward and her foot extended, she plummets toward him with a powerful aerial kick to his belly geing a devastating effect, shattering his Cloth, making him spit a mouthful of blood, all this happened so fast that I could barely follow their moves.

  Uhe stunned eyes of the other Silver Saints, Asterion then crashes into the sand, then Marin-san nds near him and says "Asterion, I left your vital intact, you'll make it..." and Asterion slowly lifting his head says "Ma... Marin... You must be mad... You're really deg war on the Sanctuary... Don't you know what this means...".

  But instead of Marin-san, another familiar male voice replies in her pce "Yes, we know what it means, it means that Athena is ready to take back the trol of the Sanctuary from the evil forces that are secretly trolling it...", and as I turn around I see the figure of Jayr-sensei, calmly looking at us, standing near Mu with a smile on his face.

  Jayr POV - Japan, Miho Beach - 1986

  After speaking those words, I look around to check Seiya and the others' situation 'All of them are more or less wounded, and their Cloths are in bad shape... But the result speaks for itself, after the fight with the Bck Saints, all of them took a step into the Silver Saint level, and only o solidate their gains to fully step in... But first I have to take care of this situation...' then I look at Misty, Babel, Moses, and the downed Asterion, 'And they are the Silver Saints sent by Saga to kill Seiya and the others, this means that Shaina is about to make her move too...'.

  I'm roused from my thoughts by Asterion, that tried to use his Cloth to read my thoughts, but I easily blocked such crude use of his o, and now that he is left with no other choice, and a little scared of the fact the he is uo read my mind, he only ask "W... Who are you!? A... And what do you mean... with 'Athena is ready to take back the trol of the Sanctuary from the evil forces that are secretly trolling it'!?" and at the same time, Misty, Babel, and Moses raise their guards and starts igniting their o, ready to release their attacks at any moment.

  I summon my Pandora Box from my Soulbouory aing my hand on it, and with a smirk, I say "My name is Jayr Pucci. I'm 14 years old. My house is in the northeast se of Sanctuary, where all the Temples of the Gold Zodia be seen, and I am not married. I work as a healer for Athena's Sanctuary, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the test. I don't smoke, but I occasionally drink. I'm in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get six hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a gss of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of intense exercise befoing to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until m. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the m. I tell you there were no issues at my st check-up. I'm trying to expin that I'm a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause me to lose sleep at night. That is how I deal with society, and I know that is what brings me happiness. Although, if I were to fight I wouldn't lose to anyone".

  And once again, an awkward silence is the respoo my awesome introdu, followed by Kiki's loud ugh, while Mu let out an exasperated sigh and says "Why do you keep using this foolish introdu...?" and I simply reply "It's a cssic..." but I'm interrupted by the Silver Saints that thought that this was a good opportunity to attack.

  The first to move is Misty, who yells "Mavrou Trypa(Bck Hole)!", extends his arm, and uses two fio gather air currents, geing a powerful whirlwind, the air is then projected as a shockwave, that quickly moves in my dire at speed surpassing Mach 2, but by simply gathering my o into my arms, burning it, and pung, I gee a strong shockwave that dismisses Misty's attack.

  At the same time, Babel propels himself with his legs and soars through the skies with a great vertical jump, then he trates on his o which mas as a great barrier of fire that pletely surrounds his body, when he has trated his o enough, a tornado of fire materializes in front of him and begins to rotate violently, finally, Babel extends the index finger of his right hand and yelling "Photia Rouphithra (Swirl of Fire)!" sends this tornado against me.

  And to defend myself and the others, I use my Telekinesis to take trol of a great volume of seawater nearby and throw it against Babel's teique, blog it, and geing a thick fog, and at this moment, I feel Moses moving, and soon he closes in and tries to grab me, but I move faster, grab his wrist and decide to use good old Pankration for a ge, I knee him in the exposed stomach making his spit some blood, then as he doubles over in pain, I strongly kick him in the face, making him flip over and nd face first into the sand, then I quickly poke him into his acupoints making him uo move.

  After that, I turn to the stunned Silver Saints and tinue speaking like nothing happened "Anyway, to answer your question, I'm the Crateris Silver Saint Jayr, and I'm helping Athena to recim her trol over the Sanctuary that, for the st 13 years is uhe trol of some evil forces that are doing everything possible to weaken Athena and her Saints for the ing Holy War... And If you calm down a little, I'll let you meet with the current reination of Athena, so that you firm the truth yourself...".

  Then spreading my arm in I theatrical manner I say "After all, as you have seen, I easily deal with you without even using my Cloth, so why should I gh all of this to peacefully stop you, if there isn't a good reason behind this... And another little info for you..." and pointing at Mu I tinue, while Asterion, Babel, Misty, and Moses thoughtfully look at me, "Mu, the person that Misty wao attack, isn't only the famous repairer of Cloth... What many don't know is that he is also the Aries Gold Saint..." and I notice that as soon as Misty and the others uood the gravity of my info their body started trembling and their face pailing as if all the blood left their faces, while Ikki and Seiya's mouth are opened so wide that their jaw almost hits the floor, and Kiki looks at everyoh a smug face, then they quickly accept to cease all the hostilities and listen to my suggestion of peacefully following us to firm the truth.

  But befoing I quickly give first aid to Seiya, Shiryu, Ikki, Hyoga, Shun, Asterion, and Moses, the Bronze Saints, woke up fused soon after, especially after seeing Ikki, calmly standio me, and so we lost a few more minutes waiting for Seiya to expihe truth of what happened, and while some were annoyed by my, Saori and Ikki's as, and surprised by Saori's true identity, they did uand the meaning behind them.

  But then Saiya talked about the elephant in the room the fact that every one of them is the son of Mitsumasa Kido, and thus brothers, shog them to their core, well not all of them, as Ikki and Hyoga already khe truth, then Hyoga firmed the story and also talked about the order he received from the Sanctuary to kill them faging in a personal battle, but he wavered when he saw them again and in the end, he was targeted too.

  But then I expin that the fact that Hyoga would be chosen to attack them was already part of the pn, as I and his master decided to let nature take its course as it would have helped them all grow stronger and more united, and at this moment, Asterion couldn't help but ask "Just how you pn so mud know the moves that other are gonna take? It almost seems like you know everything that it is going to happen iure!" and to that question, I simply reply "Because I know what is going to happen iure... Well more or less, I have a general idea... Now let's go to the Graad Coliseum, I think that the other team sent by the Pope should be there now".

  Shaina POV - Japan, Graad Coliseum - 1986

  It's almost night, and we are about to reae of our objectives, the Graad Coliseum, the pce that the Pope ordered us to raze to the ground and after that, he ordered us to kidnap the "haughty heiress" Saori Kido so that she be "judged" by him fanizing that tour and for the theft of the Sagittarius Gold Cloth.

  And a sneer appears under my mask thinking about it, 'A foolish endeavor, like someone under my brother's prote be kidnapped by a few Silver Saints... He was already strohawo years ago... And this year I found out that he reached the level of power of a Gold Saint by awaking and mastering his 7th sense, and from what I know the gulf between a Silver Saint and a Gold Saint is insurmountable... Moreover, the 'haughty heiress', is nohan the reination of oddess Athena that we swore to protect...'.

  Then I look at the members of my team, Crow Jamian, a man with an ungraceful appearance, he has a sharp beak-like nose and no eyebrows and long, tousled and coarse purple hair, wearing the Crow Cloth, the headpiece is a helmet with three sharp horn, the chest piece covers only the upper part of his chest, with basic pointed shoulders, arms and legs pieces, and a belt, all silver in color with red or, and of course always an annoying crow on his shoulder.

  At the same time, I use my teique, the Thunder Cw, I raise my arm akin to a cobra raising her head, a my o on fire with my outstretched hand and fingers which produce real lightning with electric charges of 10,000 volts, geed by my o, then I attack both Capel and Jamian with a quick cw strike which pierces their body unprotected parts, ahe electricity into their bodies paralyzing them and to be further sure that nothing wrong happens, after incapacitating them I sm their head into the ground and send aric shoto their brain to knock them out food.

  Seeing their bodies still twitg from time to time Diadalos let out a sigh, shakes his head, and says "That is a little too brutal, don't you think? They could suffer perma damage from this you know...?" but I shrug my shoulder and reply without a single worry "It's not my problem... And if something wrong truly happens as long as they are alive Jayr fix them, after all until now I have never seen him failing to treat a patient".
