Author Notes
Hello and welcome to my newest fanfic, this time it's a fic that explores the other side.
The OC is called Drako and the story will happen in the Omega series, but there will be some changes created by his presence and other specters in the future
OCs for spectra can be suggested and the best ones are accepted, remembering that there will be several girls among the specters. The reason for this will be explained later
Now it's time to start burn your cosmos and advance for Athena (or not).
-Start-
Nobody expects to die so soon, but no one expects to open their eyes after death. But I'm being rushed, let's start at the beginning.
I am Jake and I live in Japan. Obviously I was not born here, but I moved here for 7 years and I have lived here since then. I am 24 and I live in Osaka, it is a beautiful city and I like to live in it, mainly because I live alone
I am a manga editor and currently I do the editions on the one piece, which means I know the ending and I have to say it will surprise everyone.
I live in a beautiful house that is near a park. Since I arrived in Japan, I fell in love with anime and manga, I have some favorites like Samurai X, Black Jack, One Piece and mainly Saint Seiya.
I have a lot of action figures of some characters, but I have all the cloths without being dressed, the Cloth Stones and the Scales of the Marine Generals, but I still lacked the collections of the Surplice of Hades and other small collections that I had ordered and would arrive today.
I had just taken a shower when I heard the doorbell ringing. I answered the door and the deliveryman gave me the box with the Surplices and a smaller box with small extra collections of the series.
I carried the boxes to the porch and placed them on a chair. I leaned against the balcony railing and stared up at the starry sky, enjoying the bright stars.
"I finally have the complete collection of cloths, it took me to get all the Surplices, but I got almost all of them, I just missed the Persephone of the games but I already ordered this one and it arrives the day after tomorrow. I think it's time to open, I hope that none of them is damaged. "
I opened the box and took it out one at a time until I got my favorite Surplice, Wyvern, and I'm talking about the Lost Canvas manga, which is much cooler than the anime, but I was annoyed when I saw one of the wings were broken in the middle
"I knew that some of them would be damaged, I would not care much if it were some of the more boring as the frog, but it had to be just that, my luck is not smiling at me today." I let her fall on the balcony floor by accident but I left her there and went back to get the Surplices that were missing and fortunately no more was damaged.
"I'll have to order another from Wyvern tomorrow and expect to arrive, but it was only the one that came damaged." After that I went inside with all the Surplices, except for Wyvern's damaged and I went to sleep.
The next day, the bell rang again and I opened the door to receive a small box with the Surplice of Persephone. I went back to the balcony and opened the box.
"I hope this one is whole." I held the surplice in one hand and one of the wings fell to the ground.
I gave a small cry of anger. "This surplice is very rare, I will complain to the delivery person." As soon as I turned and entered the house, I slipped on something and fell through the balcony railing
I was falling down and the remains of Wyvern's cloth fell along with me. The last thing I saw before I hit the ground and everything went dark was the bright stars in the sky forming what looked like a Wyvern
The next thing I see is darkness as dark as a moonless night and I feel like I'm under the water, but I'm not drowning.
'I remember that this is how Nirvana was described, but I was not a Buddhist, so how am I in Nirvana? The next thing I see is light.
"So it's in the light that Buddha lives, will I be able to see the Twin Sala's Trees Garden, although Shaka is not there, it must still be lovely to see
I was pushed into the light and as soon as I saw that I was in a medical room, I understood that I was not in Nirvana, but I probably fell into the cycle of reincarnation.
The next 3 years of my life were monotonous and varied between sleeping, eating and wearing the diaper, which is the most embarrassing moment of my life, old and new.
It was only when I was 4 years old that I understood where I was. I and my country were walking through a park when I saw someone who appreciates Shun of Andromeda relaxing on a bench reading a book.
'Until he has a beautiful cosplay, I've never been good at cosplay, but at least we live in Kyoto, so I can try cosplay later.'
I looked the side of where I was sitting and saw that the "Shun" was approaching from where I was sitting.
"Can I sit here?" He asked.
"C-Can." I said smiling and he sat next to me.
"Hi, my name is Shun, what's yours?" He asked me and I smiled
"M-My name is Drako," I said.
'I loved that name, it's better than my old one, shame I still have a bit of trouble speaking ... he said his name was Shun?, But that's impossible'.
"W-What are you reading?" I asked smiling.
"It's a book my brother bought on my birthday, it's called the rebirth of the lilies, it's a very beautiful book."
We relax on the bench for 5 minutes until Shun looks sideways and I also look when I feel a strong energy coming from the entrance of the park and soon I see Shiryu entering with Shunrei and a small baby in the arms and soon I recognize where I I'm on the timeline.
'So I'm before the omega, that'll be interesting, but I can worry about that later, Shiryu is coming towards me and he's one of my favorite bronze saints along with Ikki, sorry he blinded every saga, any The optician must send him away, so he goes into their offices. '
Shiryu approaches us and looks at me before looking at Shun. "It's good to see you Shun, I see you met a boy with a strong cosmos for his age."
"It's good to see you too Shiryu, it's true, he has a strong cosmos, although he probably does not understand what that is." Shun said looking at me
"I agree," He said and then sat down in the vacant area of the bank. "Hi boy, what's your name?"
"Drako, what about y-your?"
"My name is Shiryu."
"W-What do you mean by c-cosmos?"
"Cosmo is ..." He paused to think for a moment.
"Cosmos is the energy that every saint uses to destroy atoms. Every human being has a cosmos inside him and with him can work miracles, but the cosmos is hardly awakening in adults, but in children it is easier ..." Soon I heard my mother is calling me.
"S-Sorry, but I have to go, my mom is calling, t-thank you and it was nice to meet you". I said running to where my mother was.
Since that day, I started training, both at home or doing karate school, after all if I reincarnated in this world, I'm going to end up in the plot, so I better not look like a doll against any saint
There was no other event like that until I was 10. I was relaxing on the porch after a bit of night training, this time taking care of anything on the floor when I looked up at the sky and saw a star shining brighter than the others .
"Some saints must be burning their cosmos, but which one?" I noticed that the star belonged to no visible constellation and the brightness of it was black.
"It must be a Martian then, maybe Sonia or ..." I was interrupted as the star's brightness approached and a Cloth Stone landed on my balcony.
"I'm a Martian, but that must be horrible. Well, I'm going to have to see the Cloth before I judge, but I hope it's not a Martian." I sighed and grabbed Cloth Stone in the shape of a star and it was black as night.
I tried to concentrate cosmo on the gem to awaken it, but nothing happened. "Even though I have mastered the basics of the cosmos, I still can not do enough to awaken the cloth, I hope I can do it soon."
Since that day, I carried the gem on my neck, hidden from my parents, but no one came to visit me or found anything that had anything to do with the plot until I was 15 years old.
My Cloth Stone was inactive until she started to shine on October 15th, the day after my birthday.
'It seems like I'm finally going to find out what this armor is.' I grabbed the gem and left the house for a spin. I followed the glow until I was in the middle of a small grove that I played when I was younger.
Suddenly the floor began to burn with a black flame and a ladder appeared, followed by a black aura.
The brilliance of Cloth Stone filled the spot and the cloth appeared in armor form and to my surprise it was Wyvern's Surplice in his form in The Lost Canvas.
"You killed me and now is my armor? This is a terrible irony of fate and now I serve Hades?".I felt a chill in the spine when I said it
I reached my hand toward the armor and it joined my body and it was the same as Radamanthys in The Lost Canvas.
"At least it's the coolest version of the armor." I said as I descended the ladder that linked the earth to the underworld. "Another thing I have to find out is what element I dominate, probably darkness, though I can not be sure, fire is another possibility '.
I went down the stairs for what seemed like hours until I saw a large temple. I entered it to see if anyone existed in it, but it was empty of living things, although the armor of all the ghosts was there.
"It seems I've found where the specters receive their surprises." I sat down on a marble chair that existed there.
"Serving Hades is better than serving Poseidon or Mars, although it is not my favorite deity, I prefer Athena or Pallas, maybe even Artemis was interesting. I am the first of the specters to appear and I am not interested in serving Hades, so maybe I can ... "
I got up quickly and used my cosmos to make Garuda's Cloth turn into a Cloth Stone. "I'll start my own army, I have not yet decided who I'm going to serve, but I will not serve Hades. I'll get some of the coolest, I will destroy the rest so there are no specters in the service of Hades. "
I destroyed most of the surplices except Garuda, Griffon, Alraune, Balron, Basilisk, Bat, Behemoth, Benu, Cait Sith, Deadly Beetle, Dryad, Elf, Gargoyle, Genbu, Gorgon, Harpy, Ikelos, Leech, Lizard, Lycaon, Mandrake, Moloch, Phobetor, Hypno, Thanatos, Hades, Morpheus, Nasu, Oneiros, Owl, Papillon, Phantasos, Whale and Musca.
Of 108 surplices, I only left 35 remaining, 3 are surplices that Hades built when revived some Saints of Athena and 8 of them are special surplices. I will have work ahead, I will have to modify the existing cloths and create new, at least I have the memories of my to help with this, but at least with the ones I have and do not need to modify, I already have the base of something, now where the river Flegetonte is, I'll need it to modify the cloths."
I walked through hell for a while until I saw the forge where the surplices were built. "Finally, now I just need to change them."
I put all the cloth stones on a stone bench and bags with the fragments of the surplices that I destroyed under the countertop
"I'm going to start working on the surplices tomorrow, but today I have a goddess to visit." I used the memory of Wyvern's surplice to open a portal to the island where she was in the Omega series
'Okay, now I just need to act cohesively and everything will work out'. I said and I went through a portal of black flames that I opened.
-Athena Pov-
On a quiet island in the Pacific Ocean. Athena was sitting in a beach chair watching a 6-year-old Kouga play with some toys in the sand as she felt a powerful cosmo and a pillar of black flames appeared on the beach far from Kouga.
Soon a figure was seen amidst the flames before the pillar faded and a boy of no more than 15 stood there wearing a black cloth that he soon recognized as a surplice.
Seiya and Shina soon appeared at Athena's side and saw that Kouga was heading for the figure and before Seiya could get Kouga, he had already reached the boy and he could see that Saori was praying that nothing would happen
-Drako Pov-
I left the pillar of fire and saw Saori along with Seiya and Shina, but what surprised me was a small Kouga who appeared in front of me.
"Hi, my name is Kouga, what's your name? Why is your armor black? Why did you come out of a pillar of flames? Why were the flames black, where did you come from? ..." He I would ask more, but I knelt down and scratched his head.
I saw that this action made Saori more calm, although Seiya and Shina were still on guard.
"My name is Drako and my armor is called surplice, nice to meet you Kouga." I said as I stood up and drove to Saori
"Do not take any step further, what is your intention here?" Seiya asked.
"None, I just came to meet the goddess Athena and just to see her, I can affirm that she is as beautiful as a Persephone."
"Thank you for your praising, but I have to ask, does your arrival herald another holy war?" She asked and I saw in her face that she was praying that she would not
"Maybe, I can not tell if Hades will resuscitate, but even if he does, he will not have an army. I decided to break the cycle of holy wars," I said, kneeling down.
"A specter kneeling for Athena." Shina said in surprise.
"I am only paying my respect to a goddess who has done so much for humanity. I am not one of her saints, but I do not plan to be her enemy."
"So you're an ally?" Seiya asked, raising an eyebrow.
"In a way, I think so, although any fight you have to fight, I will not get involved unless I deem it necessary or ask me to help, although it may have a price."
I hoped your help, if required, would not be free, so I thank you for relieving my worries of having to go through another holy war."
I nodded and headed to the point where I had come up and Shine grabbed Kouga so he would not approach the pillar of fire.
"Until our next meeting Saori ..." I looked at Kouga and then at Saori. "His element is light, although it has a bit of darkness mixed in." I said and disappeared from the beach
Soon after I reappeared in hell and opened another potal for my quaintal and crossed it quickly, after all I did not want my mother to see me leave a pillar of fire and wearing black armor.
I spent the whole month going to hell to modify the armor and I only managed to modify one, the surplice of Bat, although I already have a person to wear it.
I was in hell looking for a specific soul and I knew I would find her in the first valley of the sixth prison. I walked on the edge of the lake of burning blood before I recognized the soul I wanted.
The girl's soul looked at me in surprise as I reached out for her, but she grabbed my arm at the time and although she was still suffering, I saw a look of hope in her eyes.
I pulled her out of the blood and she knelt on the floor to catch her breath. I threw a cloth over her so she covered herself.
I could see that she was in pain, but even so she stood up and looked at me. I looked at her, "Are you Geist, Shina's sister?" I asked and she nodded
"Yes, I thank you very much that you have taken me out of this hellish torment, but if I may ask, why did you do it?"
"You were a powerful Atena Amazon but you still did not get a cloth, and the cloth you wore was simply a defective prototype you stole from Mu."
"It's true, I did not get a real cloth so I had to use that prototype, but what does that have to do with you saving me?"
"Simple, I want you to wear this surplice and become a specter". I said showing the surplice of Bat
"Are you going to give me a surplice? But I was an Athena servant and even dead I am still, I do not want to serve Hades ..." I interrupted her by raising her hand
"You will not serve Hades, the base of operations of the specters is still hell, but now I command hell, if you accept my proposal, you will be a celestial star, if you do not accept, you will reincarnate without the memories of that life past and without its current strength".I said and reached out my hand with Bat's cloth stone for her.
She stared at the gem for about 3 minutes before picking up the gem.
"So these are the new forms of cloths I've heard about?"
"Yes, they are, although I myself modified this cloth to be more powerful than it was before and combined with its own power, you deserve the title of celestial star. Before, the specters had no training and their powers came only from the surplices , but now all the specters will be picked by me personally and will have training, before turning specters or after arriving here, it does not matter, but they will have training. "
"I see, then my current strength level plus the surplice strength level puts me with a celestial star?"
"Yes, and you are below only the 3 judges of hell."
She smiled at that. "How do I activate the surplice? I want to experience it."
"Simple, focus your cosmos on it and it will respond."
Geist concentrated his cosmos and the cloth stone responded by covering the valley of the sixth prison with black light and Geist arose wearing the surplice of Bat
"Welcome, Bat Geist the Celestial Star of Darkness."
"This power is very great, that is ...".
I walked out towards Judecca. "Let Geist, I fear a lot to prepare, a training camp, a place of leisure and other small details and I have to continue to prepare the surplices"
"Do you have someone else in your sight to wear a surplice?" She asked as she followed.
"Yes, although I do not have the surplices modified yet, but I'll have one more ready in 1 month."
"It takes 1 month to modify a surplice?" Geist asked surprised.
"Yes, repairing armor takes a few hours, changing it after it has been created takes 1 month and creates new delay for 3 months. This is clear if you want to do it right, you can hurry, but the cloth, scale, surplice can become fragile and this does not will serve to protect you from great damage. "
"I see, then we'll have to wait another month to get another specter?"
"Yes, there are 2 armor, Garuda and Griffon's armor that do not need almost any modification, so each of them should take 1 week to get ready, but I do not have anyone on my list that serves any of them, so yes , it will take 1 month for the next specter to emerge. "
"Well, that'll give us time to make hell more enjoyable for the specters."
"True, I have ideas that will allow us to even have a pool, but I'm going to have to activate the minions to build it."
"Minions?" She asked confused.
"Tormented souls whom Hades used as common lackeys, who were neither celestial stars nor terrestrial stars. Hades had hundreds of them and used them as a weak layer of defense, I will use it as servants and builders."
"I have 2 more questions. If I am the celestial star of darkness, what is your name?"
"Wyvern Drake the Celestial Star of Destruction. Now, what is your second question?" I asked.
"Who do you plan to add the specter rows?"
I smiled, "It's a secret, but I can name one if it makes you happy."
"You can talk". She said
"Misha"
"But that does not say anything, except it will be a girl." She said pouting
"Exactly, I want that when someone enters the ranks is a surprise" I said and soon I looked forward, where already I could see Judecca
"When are we going to start?" She asked excitedly.
"Now". I said, smiling.
_Chapter End_
A/N=This was my first chapter of my newest fic.
I will be getting OCs to fill in the remaining surplices and then Drako will create more until they are 108 (and this time they will actually be 108 surplices)
This is the list of the remaining surplices and whether they are already occupied or not:
Wyvern = Drako (the Celestial Star of Destruction)
Garuda = Free
Griffon = Reserved
Alraune = Reserved
Balron = Reserved
Cockatrice = Free
Bat = Geist (the Celestial Star of Darkness)
Behemoth = Free
Benu = Free
Cait Sith = Free
Deadly Beetle = Free
Dryad = Reserved
Arch-Demon = Free
Elf = Reserved
Gargoyle = Free
Genbu = Free
Gorgon = Free
Harpy = Reserved
Devil Drake = Free
Leech = Free
Lizard = Free
Lycaon = Free
Mandrake = Free
Moloch = Free
Valkyrie = Free
Nasu = Free
Arch-Fairy = Free
Owl =? (I have not decided yet, so I'll leave it open)
Papillon = Reserved
Whale = Free
Lustful Nun = Free
Beelzebub = Free
Dream Peacock = Free
Death Star = Free
Fallen Archangel = Free
The Surplices Fallen Archangel, Death Star, Dream Peacock, Arch-Fairy, Valkyrie, Arch-Demon, Lustful Nun and Devil Drake belonged to Hades, Thanatos, Hypnos, Oneiros, Morpheus, Phobetor, Phantasos and Ikelos respectively. so they can be used by other specters so I renamed them.
The surplices of Beelzebub and Cockatrice were the surplices of Musca and Basilisk, but I renamed them.
Drako will create more surplices in the future and ideas are accepted along with ideas to dress these existing surplices
A single subject I have to add is that the cloth are in the shape of a gem but they follow the classic style of armor and not that form of the Omega that looked like clothes. So my one unites the best of the two styles, the classic look along with the practicality of cloth stones
See you and have a good day(or night).
