For all the writing I'm doing right now, I've gotten very little actual, productive work done on my stories. (But at least this has been fun to write!)

To KAGE KITSUNE NO YAMI: I tried a PM a second time, but my question was about which stories you meant when you said you'd be interested in seeing more of them.

Concept: A continuation of a previous installment of Infinite Possibilities.

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


"You have exactly five seconds to step away from her, Spectre." Scorpio Milo snarled, his red-painted nail pointed at the back of the Spectre's head.

Slowly, the Spectre turned his head towards Milo. "I'm not going to hurt her." He growled.

"I don't care!" Milo shot back. "Your Spectre friends are over there. You can join them."

The Spectre stood up, still moving slowly, and glared at Milo before heading to join the other Spectres.

Shun braced herself, and was about to stand up when a hand landed on her shoulder. She glanced up and found herself face-to-face with Sagittarius Aiolos, one of the oldest Gold Saints.

"Don't push yourself." Aiolos ordered. He lifted his free hand, glowing slightly with Cosmo. "Let me see."

It took Shun a moment to realize what he meant, but when she did she tilted her head back, baring her unarmored neck so the older Saint could see it properly. She flicked her eyes to the side to see that Milo had moved away, towards the three Spectres.

She flinched when Aiolos's fingers made contact with her throat, even the most gentle of contact sending pain shooting through her neck.

Aiolos stilled, and waited patiently for Shun to relax before trying again. This time, she didn't flinch, instead busying herself with trying to figure out who all had shown up.

Milo and Aiolos were obvious, but around her Shun could sense another half a dozen or so Cosmos, all belonging to Saints.

Lizard Misty was there, along with Cerberus Dante. They were two of the few Silver Saints that Shun could identify by Cosmo alone. Along with them was another Cosmo of roughly Silver level that Shun didn't recognize.

Along with the Silver Saints, Shun more easily identified three more Gold Saints.

Aquarius Camus's icy Cosmo burned slightly behind Aiolos, in the same direction that Milo had directed the Spectre. He had probably shown up with Milo. Those two were always together.

The lively Cosmo of Pisces Aphrodite was noticeable across the street, out of Shun's line of sight.

Lastly, a particularly steady Cosmo was approaching from Shun's right. Tilting her head a tiny bit, Shun caught a glimpse of long blue-purple hair the same shade as Milo's.

Gemini Saga strode purposefully up to Aiolos and Shun, his expression more serious than usual-if that was even possible.

"Damage?" Aiolos asked the Gemini Saint.

"It seems it's mostly buildings and some injured civilians." Saga reported. "No deaths reported yet. I hate to say it, but if what the villagers are saying is true, we have those Spectres to thank for that. What about here?" He looked down at Shun, who suddenly wished she could be anywhere else. Saga looked distinctly unhappy, his lips turned down at the corners.

"It's just a nasty case of bruising." Aiolos answered. "I'll have it mostly healed in just a minute. Can you go see what those Spectres are doing here? Other than apparently saving the village, at least."

Saga nodded and left, just as several more Saints appeared on the scene.

"Shun!" Ikki's voice drew Shun's attention as Aiolos pulled his hand away from her throat. The pain was significantly less noticeable now, and Shun was fairly confident she could breathe as speak without much trouble now.

The rest of the Vanguard was approaching from the direction of Sanctuary, all looking various stages of alarmed.

Aiolos stood up. "We'll need your report on what happened in a bit, so you should stick around, but let us handle the Spectres." He told Shun.

Shun nodded in acknowledgement before turning her attention to her brother.

Ikki reached Shun and promptly grabbed her by the arms, looking her over with no small amount of concern.

"Are you alright?" He asked.

Shun shrugged her brother's hands off and smiled at him. "Fine." She said. Telling Ikki she had almost been choked to death was.. inadvisable. He'd probably demand they find some way to revive the thing that had done it just so he could get a hit in on it. That was just the kind of over-protective older brother Ikki was.

Before Ikki could question Shun anymore, Hyoga, who was standing behind the Phoenix Saint, turned and froze.

"Incoming!" The Cygnus Saint barked.

Shun followed his gaze, expecting more of the shadow creatures, only to see the same Spectre who had helped her earlier-the one with the dark eyes-headed straight for them.

"You! I'll kill you, you filthy traitor!" The Spectre roared, smashing himself into Ikki with enough force to throw the Phoenix Saint to the ground.

Shun moved more on instinct that anything, commanding her chains to wrap around the Spectre and prevent him from attacking her brother.

"Kyro, that's enough!"


Aaaaand... I leave it here. That's all I've got for now, but the first little bit of this was already written, so it wasn't too hard to expand on.

See you next time.
