PLOT:

During a time of peace, the newly revived Gold Saints including the ex-Pope Shion and Gemini Saga's twin brother Kanon, are trying to regain the normalcy of their duties and their lives before the recent war with Hades, Lord of the Underworld and Asgard's trickster God, Loki. Pope Shion, being revived in his 18yo body, reclaimed his role as Pope of the Sanctuary.

INT. POPE'S TEMPLE, DAY

Pope Shion, restored 18yo body but in reality over 200yo, is dusting a painting of what looks like a beautiful woman embracing her happy child but when he turns it a certain way, the painting changes to that of a half-woman, half-snake devouring a crying child. Gemini Saga, 28, wearing the Gold Saint armor of Gemini minus the helmet, enters the room.

GEMINI SAGA

Is that a painting of a Lamia?

The Pope acknowledges the Gemini gold saint and nods.

POPE SHION

It is.

The Gemini Saint bows in return.

GEMINI SAGA

Our mother had mentioned her story of devouring children to Kanon and I whenever we misbehave. Kanon used to be so scared of the half-snake woman. I told him it was nonsense.

POPE SHION

You weren't frightened?

GEMINI SAGA

Kanon used to be a very wild child and tend to convince me to get into mischief. I would try to stop him but to no avail. Mother must've gotten tired of it and resorted to scare tactics hoping that it'll make Kanon and I behave better.

POPE SHION

I think you're avoiding the question.

GEMINI SAGA

No, she didn't frighten me.

Pope Shion continues to dust the painting.

POPE SHION

Huh.. In my village, no mother dared to leave her children outside after dark. It is said that she was the mistress of the God Zeus, who bore him quite a few children.

Gemini Saga does a double-take at the painting as it changes picture again. The painting shows the God Zeus passionately kissing the beautiful Lamia surrounded by many children.

POPE SHION

(voiceover)

When Zeus' wife, Hera, found out about the affair, she grew quite jealous. She was so mad that she killed all of Lamia's children and turned Lamia into the monster you see in this painting.

Pope Shion wipes down the painting once more and the picture changes again. It changes into Zeus' wife, Hera, pointing at a half-woman, half-snake Lamia, surrounded by her dead children. Gemini Saga is shocked to see this.

POPE SHION

(continues)

Fueled by anger and grief, Lamia started devouring and murdering other children. She was a monster unlike any other. Some say her beauty and gentleness are what lured many children to their deaths. All I know is, as a child in my village, my mother would always make sure my brother and I were inside before sunset and she would try to sing us to sleep but… I could still hear a child screaming from a distance.

Footsteps are heard causing Gemini Saga and Pope Shion to turn and look at the source. A dark shadow appears at the doorway of the temple and a beautiful lady with long, baby blue locks dressed in what looks like the armor of a Gold Saint except the bottom half of the armor was covered with golden scales and a snake tail instead of legs. The figure looks to be carrying something in her hand and moves in closer to the Gemini Saint and the Pope.

GEMINI SAGA

(surprised and yells)

What the?! ANOTHER DIMENSION!

The Pope's room instantly disappears and the Pope and GOLD SAINT PISCES APHRODITE dressed in a golden Lamia costume are standing with what looked like the void of space surrounded with nothing but stars.

PISCES APHRODITE

(amusingly)

I guess Saga didn't like my costume for Deathmask's party.

POPE SHION

Just be happy he didn't use Galaxian Explosion and killed us again. Attending a costume party would be the least of your worries.

Pisces Aprhodite smells his red rose in his hand and smiles deviously.

PISCES APHRODITE

True and yet… I would never forget Saga's scared face before he transported us. That's what he gets for letting Kanon fry my beautiful, precious, Nemo. She didn't deserve ending up in the belly of that blue-haired water demon!

FLASHBACK:

EARLIER THAT WEEK…

INT. PISCES TEMPLE – DAY

Gold Saint Pisces Aphrodite is seen bending over his Koi pond, throwing fish food while admiring his own reflection on the water.

PISCES APHRODITE

Here you go, my precious darlings! Eat your vitamins so you could stay vibrant, colorful and as beautiful as me. Especially you, Nemo.

The Pisces Gold Saint points at the biggest, brightest orange Koi fish swimming in his pond.

PISCES APHRODITE

As for you gorgeous, we still need to figure out what to wear to Deathmask's party. I'll see you later.

Pisces Aphrodite winks at his reflection, kisses the air towards it then turns around and walks gracefully out, exiting his temple. Gold Saint Gemini Kanon, 28, wearing a blue tunic with beige compression long pants, a brown, leather belt with matching knee protectors and boots, along with bandaged forearms, snickers as he comes out of hiding. The Gemini Saint laughs at himself and shakes his head as he walks over to peer into the pond.

GEMINI KANON

(mockingly in the Pisces' voice)

As for you gorgeous, we still need to figure out what to wear to Deathmask's party.

The Gemini Saint imitates his fellow Saint and winks at his reflection and kisses the air. Then rolls his eyes and shakes his head. He continues to look in the pond.

GEMINI KANON

However, 'Dite is right about one thing…you are gorgeous!

Gemini Kanon points at Nemo. He takes out a knife from his pocket and prepares to stab the fish when his older brother, Gemini Saga, appears out of nowhere stopping him.

GEMINI SAGA

Kanon! Nooo! What do you think you're doing?!

Gemini Kanon briefly looks at his brother and continues to stab his knife in the water barely missing the huge fish.

GEMINI KANON

What does it look like I'm doing? I'm getting dinner!

GEMINI SAGA

Kanon, you can't just enter another Saint's temple without permission and you definitely cannot go killing their pets!

GEMINI KANON

What's the big deal, brother? He has plenty more, one fish isn't going to make a difference.

GEMINI SAGA

The difference is what Aphrodite will do to you and what I have to deal with if he finds out you ate his beloved pet! Just promise me you won't boil his precious Nemo… I'm still pulling thorns out the last time you made him mad.

GEMINI KANON

Alright, brother. I promise I won't boil the little cretin.

GEMINI SAGA

Now get out of here before Aphrodite finds you in here.

Gemini Kanon nods as his brother walks out.

INT. GEMINI TEMPLE – LATER THAT NIGHT

Gemini Saga hears a crackling and popping sound as he enters his temple. His senses is greeted with a very familiar aroma as he find Gemini Kanon with a frying pan in hand over the lit fire pit at the opposite side of the room. Gemini Saga places a hand over his face.

GEMINI SAGA

Why Kanon why?

GEMINI KANON

I promised that I wouldn't boil him. You never said I couldn't fry him. Do you want some?

The younger Gemini has a huge grin on his face as he offers a plate to his sibling. The older Gemini sighs and shrugs in defeat, shaking his head.

GEMINI SAGA

Why not.

END FLASHBACK.

MEANWHILE IN THE OTHER DIMENSION – PRESENT:

Pope Shion shakes his head as he put a hand on the Gold Saint's shoulder and laughs.

POPE SHION

Ha ha ha! Yes, that's what he also get for killing me!

The Pope and Pisces Aphrodite bursts out laughing then suddenly stop.

PISCES APHRODITE

What now? Any idea on how we could get back?

Pope Shion shrugs his shoulder and shakes his head.

EXT. POPE'S TEMPLE – PRESENT DAY

Gemini Saga dashes out of the Pope's temple, screaming.

GEMINI SAGA

(yells)

Everyone be on guard! A Lamia is on the loose! Mu! Call all of the Saints at once!

Gemini Saga points at the Aries Gold Saint Mu, clad in his Gold cloth, wielding a hammer as he repairs the broken Bronze armor of the Unicorn Saint. The Aries Saint sheepishly looks at the Gemini Saint. His apprentice, Kiki, 8yo, stands beside his master Mu, holding the Bronze Unicorn helmet, gets a mischievous smile on his face as he watches the older Gemini Saint appear in a fray in front of them.

INT. POPE'S TEMPLE - DAY

Gemini Kanon reveals himself from behind a column, witnessing his older brother send the Pope and the Pisces Saint to another dimension. He laughs histerically and starts to walk out of the temple.

GEMINI KANON

That's what you get for leaving me to die at Cape Sunion, brother. Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!

EXT. POPE'S TEMPLE – DAY

Most of the Saints, clad in their armor, arrive on scene including the rest of the Gold Saints. The Libra Gold Saint, Dohko, who's the same age as Pope Shion and has gained his youthful, 18yo body, stands in front of the Gemini Saint. The rest of the Saints gather around the two.

LIBRA DOHKO

Saga, what's with the noise?

GEMINI SAGA

(alarmingly)

The Lamia is here to invade Sanctuary! We must defend Athena at all cost!

The Gold Saint Cancer Deathmask slaps the Gold Saint Taurus Aldebaran, towering over the Cancer Saint with his arms crossed, on the shoulder. The Taurus Saint glares down at the Cancer Saint emotionless.

CANCER DEATHMASK

Shit! I didn't think Kanon had it in him to play a trick on his beloved brother. Now I owe him a keg of Ouzo.

The Cancer Saint turns to the Capricorn Gold Saint Shura next to him who looks at him with a confused expression and a raised eyebrow.

CANCER DEATHMASK

Got any drachmas I can borrow?

The Capricorn Saint shakes his head.

CAPRICORN SHURA

No, you still owe me 50 drachmas from the last time.

CANCER DEATHMASK

(whiningly)

Aww…come on! I'll help you redecorate your house…

CAPRICORN SHURA

(amusingly)

Pfft! No thanks. Your taste is a little too grim and the wailing gives me a headache.

SCORPIO MILO

(amusingly)

Ouch!

The Scorpio Gold Saint Milo points at the Cancer Gold Saint as he bowls over laughing. The Aquarius Gold Saint, Camus, standing next to the Scorpio Saint, display a smile in the corner of his mouth at this. Gemini Saga and Libra Dohko turn toward the Cancer Saint.

GEMINI SAGA

Deathmask, what did you just say?!

CANCER DEATHMASK

(hesitantly)

Uhh…that I can't believe Kanon had the balls to go through with his prank.

The Gemini Saint balls his fists as dark energy starts radiating off of him turning his hair white and his eyes start to glow red.

GEMINI SAGA

(screams)

KANON!

Gemini Saga grabs the younger Gemini by the throat as he was walking out of the Pope's Temple. The Libra Saint slaps the Cancer Saint on the head.

LIBRA DOHKO

Idiot.

CANCER DEATHMASK

Ow! What was that for?!

LIBRA DOHKO

You and Kanon just had to didn't you? We'll be lucky if Saga doesn't destroy the whole Sanctuary.

Gemini Kanon struggles to breathe as his brother's hand tightens around his neck and the older Gemini lifts him off the ground.

GEMINI KANON

(chokingly)

Sa-sa-ga… It was… (*coughs*)

…just a joke.

GEMINI SAGA

I hope you got a huge laugh since it's going to be your last. After I kill you, I'm going to obliterate all of Sanctuary. Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!

GEMINI KANON

I'm…sorry, Saga.

GEMINI SAGA

Too late! I only have two words for you…

EVERYONE

NO!

Everyone moves towards the Gemini brothers to stop the older Gemini. Gemini Saga pulls Gemini Kanon closer to his face. The younger Gemini has a look of terror on his face as the intense, red eyes of his brother's evil persona stares coldly back at him.

GEMINI SAGA

(whispers)

Happy Halloween

Gemini Kanon passes out in the older Gemini's arms as he slowly returns back to his normal self. Gemini Saga looks down at his younger brother and shakes his head.

GEMINI SAGA

Hmph! Glad to know you're still the same, little brother.
