Hi guys. This one is an AU based off Legend of Sanctuary. It's my version of what happens after the end of the battle.

Disclaimer: I do not own Saint Seiya or any of the included characters. They all belong to Masami Kurumada.

Edit: I realized I didn't have enough to write for a full second chapter, so I just finished this story here. Hope you enjoy it.


Shura glanced around the remains of entrance to the Pope's chambers. What a mess. He thought to himself.

The Gold Saints had survived Saga's attack by the skin of their teeth, and even then only because Shaka's defensive Kan was somehow more powerful than Saga's Athena-powered form. Shura couldn't even begin to guess how the Bronze Saints he and Milo had fought has survived.

Athena stood off to the side with the Pegasus Saint to whom Aiolos's Sagittarius Cloth had just leant itself. The boy was now back in his own half-shattered cloth, the Sagittarius Cloth back in its dormant form. The rest of the Bronze Saints had been quick to gather around them when the Pegasus Saint had landed, as though forming some kind of barrier. The Golds stood nearby.

"We need to start cleaning this mess up." Milo said, knowing someone had to speak up.

"'Mess' doesn't even begin to describe this." Shura said blandly, looking around at what he could only call carnage. "Where do we start?"

"We need to confirm the safety of the people of Sanctuary." Mu said. "Start treating the injured, get a death count. Someone needs to check on the Saintia."

"Mister Mu is right." A voice spoke up. The six Gold Saints looked over to see Athena, looking exhausted and leaning heavily on the Pegasus Saint, moving towards them. "The people should be our first priority." The Goddess spoke with remarkable strength.

"If you will, Lady Athena, let me handle these matters." Mu spoke up. "You are exhausted and need to rest. We Golds can handle the cleanup until you have recovered your strength."

The purple-haired Goddess looked reluctant, but slowly nodded. "Okay. I'll leave this to you."

Mu nodded. "With the Pope's chambers destroyed, the path to Athena's chambers are too hard to reach, we will have to facilitate cleanup from somewhere else."

"I will take us all to the House of Aries." Shaka said. "It should be undamaged and is closer to the rest of Sanctuary, we will be able to receive reports more easily from there."

Mu nodded in agreement.

"Leave me up here, Shaka." Aiolia said quickly. "I'll check on the Saintia and servants in Athena's chambers."

"I'll stay too. Someone need to clear the Twelve Houses." Milo piped up.

"Very well." Shaka agreed. "Does anyone else wish to stay here?"

"I do." The Bronze Saint with the blond hair said. "I've had enough teleportation to last me a lifetime, thanks." If the blonde saw the frowns on his friends' faces, he didn't acknowledge them.

Shaka nodded, then stepped back a bit, gesturing for everyone he was taking down to the House of Aries to gather around him. A flash of light later, and they were all gone.

As he was teleported away, Shura cast one last glance back at Milo, and he wondered.


Aiolia sighed, letting his shoulders relax once the various Golds, Bronzes, and Athena were gone. He turned to Milo.

"You sure you can handle this?" She asked. She probably saw how guilty Aiolia felt over the day's events, and wanted to spare him from having to see the destruction wrought in the Inner Sanctum.

Aiolia hesitated. "No." He answered after several long moments. "Can you take the Saintias' quarters while I check the Houses?"

"Of course." Milo answered. She turned her attention to the Cygnus Saint. "You can come with one of us if you want, or you can stay here."

"I'll go with Aiolia." Cygnus said. "I need to check something."

"Mmhm." Milo hummed. "I'll see you both later then." With that, she took a running start and jumped, heading in the direction of the Inner Sanctum.

Once she was gone, Aiolia turned his attention to the young Saint standing behind him.

"I never got your name." He stated.

"Hyoga. Cygnus Hyoga."

"Cygnus?" Aiolia mused. "You're Camus's student, aren't you? He's what you want to check on."

The blond Saint hesitated slightly before nodding. "We fought. I think I killed him."

"We Gold Saints are hard to kill." Aiolia told the younger Saint. "Camus has always been good at playing dead too. Follow me."

Hyoga did as he was told without arguing.

The first person they came across was Aphrodite. Aiolia knelt next to the Pisces Saint to check his pulse. Nothing.

"He's dead." He murmured grimly. "Give me a moment." He told Hyoga. The boy nodded

"Mu?" Aiolia called through his Cosmo.

"Aiolia? What is it?" Came the response.

"I just checked on Aphrodite. Saga's Another Dimension did a number on him. He's dead."

"I see. Keep going. We can send someone to collect the body later."

"Understood."

Aiolia bit his lip, but stood up and gestured for Hyoga to follow him.


Hyoga found himself hesitating slightly as he and Aiolia stepped into the House of Aquarius. Fighting his master was something of a nightmare for him, the sort of thing he had never wanted to experience, but he hadn't had a choice. Camus had insisted upon getting in his way, and he needed to get back to Saori and the others.

And Camus was dead for it.

Hyoga shook his thoughts away and followed Aiolia over to his master's side.

The Leo Saint was crouched by the Aquarius Saint's side, carefully rolling Camus over onto his back.

There was a long moment of silence as Aiolia checked his pulse. Then, the tension that had colored the Gold's shoulders since finding the Pisces Saint dead, abruptly drained away.

Hyoga blinked as Aiolia turned to him, a small smile curling his lips.

"It's okay." Aiolia said. "Camus is alive."

Confusion flooded Hyoga, mixed with relief. He had been so sure that he had killed his master. "What? But how? How did he survive?" He choked out.

It took a moment for Aiolia to answer, his gaze briefly unfocused and his head tilted as though he was listening to something. "I'm not sure. We need to get him down to the House of Aries. Mu will know more about this than me. For now, your master's life isn't in danger."

Hyoga nodded. "We're taking him now?"

Aiolia nodded. "We'll teleport down. It's not hard. Put your hand on my shoulder, and whatever you do, don't let go."

Hyoga did as he was told, gripping the Gold Saint's shoulder. There was a sudden sense of vertigo, as though the whole world had just tipped at a strange angle. Then nothing.

As Hyoga's sight cleared, he saw that they were back in the House of Aries. He glanced around. Of the Gold Saints, only Mu and Shaka were present. Shaka sat against the wall, meditating. Mu was talking to a group of guards.

The Aries Saint turned to them as he dismissed the guards, a smile pulling at his mouth. "Lay him down by the wall there." He ordered.

Hyoga moved around to Camus free side, helping Aiolia to pick up and move the unconscious Saint. Mu approached as they lay the teal-haired man down where he had indicated.

Crouching at Camus's side, Mu reached out and pressed a hand to the other Gold Saint's helmet. Instantly, the Aquarius Cloth began to disassemble itself, shrinking down into its inactive form, an inch-thick slab of gold with the symbol of Aquarius stamped into the side.

Mu moved his hand to Camus chest. His Cosmo flared briefly before he nodded to himself.

Turning to Hyoga and Aiolia, Mu smiled reassuringly. "I wouldn't worry. Camus is just in a state of cold-induced stasis."

"Cold-induced stasis?" Hyoga asked.

"Yes." Mu answered. "Camus is very resistant to the cold. Enough that your attack was only able to paralyze him. The same thing happened in the early days of Camus's training. Milo knows how to counteract it. I will call her to come down to help once Athena's chambers are cleared out."

Hyoga nodded slowly.

"For now, Aiolia will go back to checking the Twelve Houses. Hyoga, you should stay here. You look exhausted."

Hyoga wanted to argue, but Mu's words struck true, as he suddenly felt extremely tired, as though the exhaustion from the earlier battles of the day had finally kicked in. Instead of arguing, Hyoga just nodded.

"Good." Mu said approvingly.

"I'll be going." Aiolia said, and disappeared with a flash of Cosmo.

As Mu was called away by another Saint, Hyoga leaned against the wall next to his master and slid to the floor.

Everything was going to be alright.


I'm gonna leave it here for now. Getting this idea out has been hard, but I know I'll write the rest of it eventually.

Feel free to favorite/follow/review. Hope you liked it.

See you next time.


There we go. That's the end.
