And here is yet another chapter.

Concept: Hyoga is suspicious of his fellow Right Ones. Written in the Netflix remake, but using the classic series names.

Yeah, I know I'm writing a lot of these, but this is my current muse, and so it will be for a while. (I've been rewatching the Netflix remake, and it's given me so many ideas.)

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


Cygnus Hyoga, your mission is to infiltrate the Galaxian Wars, eliminate the participating Saints, and kill the goddess Athena.

Signed, The Pope of Sanctuary

Orders rarely come directly from the Pope of Sanctuary himself, and when they do, they are usually important.

This, Hyoga reflects on as he watches the match between Pegasus Seiya and Dragon Shiryu.

But the truly interesting part of his orders, isn't the order to kill Athena and the Saints who have been caught planning to fight for personal gain, but what had come with it.

Expect to find an ally among the Saints participating in the tournament.

The letter had said that at the bottom, and as Hyoga looks around, he wonders what that last line means.

Obviously, it can't be Wolf, Hydra, Bear, or Lionet. If it had been, they wouldn't have left, but would have found an excuse to stay and watch instead.

But that leaves a pretty short list.

Hyoga doubts it's Seiya. The boy is far too honest, wouldn't be able to hide his true intentions to save his life.

Unicorn Jabu is another undeniable no. The blond boy is far too infatuated with Saori be willing to kill her. Unless that's a cover, which Hyoga doubts.

Shiryu is a possibility. The Dragon Saint is stoic enough to hide any ill intent, and he had been trained by Old Master Dohko of Lushan. If anyone is likely to have gotten an order like Hyoga has, it's him.

It can't be Tatsumi, Mitsumasa Kido's loyal right hand man and Saori's legal guardian, nor is it likely to be any of the low-ranking Kido security guards.

That doesn't really leave many options. There is only one person left, and Hyoga doesn't know enough about them to say for sure.

Hyoga turns his gaze from the heavily once-sided match in front of him to the platform high up above, across from where Saori and Tatsumi are located, where the Gold Sagittarius Cloth Box sits.

Next to the Cloth Box is a girl, dressed in a green shirt, black leggings, and white suspender-shorts, her green hair cut short. She sits on the platform, legs hanging almost carelessly over the edge, her posture straight, and her hands braced on either side of her. Hyoga doesn't know her name, or where she's from, but he gets the feeling she's somehow connected to Saori, because she almost looks like she's guarding the Cloth Box.

Hyoga turns his attention back to the fight in front of him in just time to see Seiya hit Shiryu with his Pegasus Meteor Fist. The match over.

After that it is a mad rush as Jabu pulls Shiryu into a standing position and holds him there while Seiya gathers the strength for the single punch needed to restart Shiryu's heart. It works, and the medics cart both boys away to get checked out.

There is a break after that.


When everyone gathers after the break, Jabu pats Hyoga on the arm.

"Good luck this time." He says confidently. "I won't be as easy to take out as Ichi."

Hyoga snorts. "Who said I'm fighting you?" He asks.

"Shiryu and Seiya just fought, so unless I'm fighting Tatsumi, you're my opponent, pal." Jabu retorts.

Before Hyoga can say anything, Tatsumi speaks up.

"The next match: Unicorn Jabu versus Shun."

"Shun?" Jabu echoes, looking around in confusion.

The phrasing confuses Hyoga as much as it does everyone else. There is no "Lady" constellation, and the only person Tatsumi would call "My Lady" is Saori, so who...?

Hyoga finds his gaze drawn up to the girl on the platform with the Gold Cloth Box. She's standing now, green eyes fixed silently on Jabu as she takes him in. Then, she jumps.

In the time it takes for her to reach the floor, she has donned a pink Cloth with chains wrapped around the bracers.

As he stares at her, Hyoga is struck by a memory.

A little girl, half-hiding behind a man dressed in a Cloth, staring at Hyoga with big green eyes. When he catches her looking, she gives tiny, shy wave. He doesn't wave back.

The same girl, older now, chained up in a small room, screaming as his master's best friend stings her with his attack. Over, and over, and over again.

This, Hyoga realizes, is the ally he is expected to watch out for, the only one of the Bronzes present that he isn't expected to kill.

The so-called "Princess", Andromeda Shun.

"A girl?" Jabu asks in disbelief. "This is who I'm supposed to be fighting? Are you kidding me?"

"If you don't want to fight a girl," Tatsumi says, "You're welcome to forfeit."

Jabu growls, but doesn't argue anymore.

Instead, he launches without waiting for the signal to begin.

Shun dodges easily, and then dodges again. dodges, deflects, parries, dodges a third time.

"What is wrong with you?" Jabu demands. "You can't a fight only by dodging."

As he charges yet again, Shun ducks underneath his punch, grabs his arm, then spins the blond boy around, twisting his arm up into an arm lock. Jabu curses and struggles, but his opponent's grip is firm and unyielding.

Shun raises one hand, and brings it down sharply on the back of Jabu's neck. The boy jerks, letting out a startled gasp, and drops to the ground, unconscious.

The match is over.


Tell me if I should write more.

See you soon.
