Chapter 2: An Unsteady Vibe! Putting the Pieces into One!
Kouga and Aria became rather curious.
"The visions that you two gained was no coincidence. Seeing that the two of you are siblings, after all." Saori commented.
Kouga immediately felt that.
"You both remember Abzu, the source of Kouga's Darkness Cosmo, right?" Saori asked.
Kouga and Aria greatly remembered Abzu well.
"Abzu…" Aria replied, in a quiet manner.
Kouga slightly gritted.
"How could we forget that bastard?" Kouga asked.
Seiya immediately smiled at Kouga's answer.
"What the two of you had experienced has some treacherous ties to Abzu. In the sense of Arabian mythology." Saori explained.
Kouga became rather confused.
"Arabian mythology...?" Kouga asked.
Kouga began to ponder.
"Now that you mentioned it..." Kouga said.
Aria immediately agreed with her brother.
"Abzu did have ties with Arabian mythology." Aria commented.
Saori nodded her head.
"Have you heard about Djinns?" Saori asked.
Kouga and Aria became rather curious.
"Djinns?" Kouga and Aria asked in unison.
Seiya became curious as this was his first time hearing about this folklore as well.
"Djinns can come in any place that anyone sustains it. They could be either good or plain bad." Saori explained.
Kouga and Aria became rather intrigued on this discovery.
"It all ties to the mysterious god." Saori commented.
Saori began to take a breather.
"The name of the mysterious that you and Aria have been getting delirious visions is called Al-Quam. The god of war." Saori commented.
Kouga and Aria began to tremble after learning about the name of the mysterious god of war.
Aria began to shake in fear.
"Al-Quam..." Aria said.
Kouga immediately froze in dead suspense.
"God of war..." Kouga said.
Seiya then put his hands on Saori's shoulder.
"Is this Al-Quam deadly, Saori-san?" Seiya asked.
Saori then began to nod her head.
"This is actually my first time hearing about his prowess as a god." Saori replied.
Kouga and Aria became rather conflicted.
"What should we do, Saori-san?" Kouga asked.
Saori became greatly worried for the safety of both Kouga and Aria until she thought of something.
"The only way for all the tension to cease down is that we fight back with full power." Saori replied.
Aria became rather confused.
"Fight back with full power?" Aria asked.
Saori then nodded her head.
"Eons ago, there was something that could combat the folklore of Arabian mythology. A type of item that appears every other third millennium. Within it stores a very rare cloth called the Mystic Cloths. That item is named the Constellation Bracelet." Saori explained.
Kouga and Aria began to blink their eyes.
"Mystic Cloths?" Kouga asked.
Aria remained quiet.
"Constellation Bracelet?" Aria asked.
Saori nodded her head.
"I fear for the very worst." Saori commented.
Seiya began to nod his head.
"It's not like it could be disastrous in any way. Right?" Seiya asked.
Saori became rather uncertain.
"I'm afraid that will go within that point, Seiya." Saori replied.
Saori quietly looked towards the twins.
"I'm certain that you'll be caught in the middle of another battle." Saori commented.
Kouga and Aria immediately grabbed hold of each other's hand.
"Whatever the case may be, we are prepared for anything, Saori-san." Kouga explained.
Aria agreed with her brother's words.
"For the fate of Earth, we have to take that risk no matter what, Saori-san." Aria commented.
Saori simply smiled at the siblings' unbound courage.
Saori then took a map from her cabinet.
"The Constellation Bracelets are scattered across the entire world. You must retrieve them in order to combat the Arabian folklore and Djinns before Al-Quam awakens from his slumber to unleash his terror." Saori explained.
Kouga and Aria began to examine the map where the Constellation Bracelets are scattered.
"Once everything with Al-Quam has been settled, you must return the Constellation Bracelets to their resting place." Saori explained.
Seiya became rather bold.
"Then, we will do whatever we can to prevent another war." Seiya commented.
Seiya began to smirk.
"Because we are Athena's Saints. And Earth is our home." Seiya continued.
Kouga immediately agreed with Seiya's words.
"You're right, Seiya. We can't back away from this turn of events." Kouga said.
Aria then turned to her brother.
"Everyone must know about this, Kouga." Aria commented.
Kouga then nodded his head.
"There is a 170 hour limit if you're wondering." Saori commented.
Kouga and Aria immediately nodded to Saori.
"A 170 hour limit?" Kouga asked.
Kouga turned to his sister.
"Let's see where that will play out." Kouga commented.
Aria nodded her head.
"Right." Aria said.
Kouga and Aria immediately went to tell their friends outside of the school about this rather pleasing discovery that they had uncovered with Seiya and Saori.
"Constellation Bracelets?" Souma, Ryuho, Sachi and Emma asked in unison.
Haruto became rather speechless.
"Djinns?" Haruto asked.
Yuna began to blink her eyes.
"Mystic Cloths?" Yuna asked.
Kouga and Aria nodded their heads.
Eden then consulted Aria.
"And those headaches you were given, they were visions of a god named Al-Quam, Aria?" Eden asked.
Aria sadly nodded her head.
"Yes. They were, Eden." Aria replied.
The other Bronze Saints became rather stunned.
"Al-Quam. The god of war..." Ryuho commented.
Yuna then openly expressed great concern for her boyfriend as she put her hand on Kouga's shoulder.
"But...In more important terms. Are you alright, Kouga?" Yuna asked.
Kouga immediately smiled as he returned the gesture.
"Yeah. I am, Yuna." Kouga replied.
Yuna began to slightly blush as she smiled at Kouga.
Kouga and Aria then showed their friends of the map that they had received from Saori.
"Saori-san gave us this really incredible map which could be useful to us." Kouga commented.
Yuna began to touch onto the drawings of the first two bracelets.
"The Pegasus and Aquila Constellation Bracelets are located within the boroughs of the Arabian dessert." Yuna commented.
Kouga and Yuna smiled warmly at one another.
Ryuho began to take a glance on where his and Sachi's Constellation Bracelets are at.
"Najd..." Ryuho said.
Sachi began to cheerfully grin.
"Sweetness." Sachi commented.
Ryuho and Sachi were really glad to be paired together with each other.
Souma and Emma began to touch onto the drawings that looked like their Constellation Bracelets.
"The Lionet and Vulpecula Constellation Bracelets are somewhere in the location of Hejaz." Souma commented.
Emma nodded in a shy manner.
"Y-yeah..." Emma said.
Haruto began to glance at the drawing of his Constellation Bracelet.
"The Wolf Constellation Bracelet is at Hadhramaunt." Haruto commented.
Lastly, Eden had touched the drawing of the Orion Constellation Bracelet.
"The Orion Constellation Bracelet is somewhere within Arabah." Eden commented.
Eden and Aria warmly smiled at one another.
Kouga then folded the map as he handed it to Aria.
"We have to retrieve them before Al-Quam can awaken from his slumber to unleash his terror upon Earth. And, we have a 170 hour limit to boot." Kouga explained.
The other Bronze Saints became rather surprised.
"Retrieving the bracelets as well as protecting Earth within the 170 hour range?" Yuna asked.
Emma began to smile.
"That will give us enough time. I think..." Emma commented.
Souma began to snicker.
"All this talk about Arabian culture reminds me so of those One Thousand and One Nights stories and that particular tale about a boy who had found a magical lamp that granted him three wishes so that he could fall in love with a princess." Souma explained.
Yuna quickly knew on what Souma was talking about.
"You mean Aladdin, Souma?" Yuna asked.
Sachi began to gleefully grin.
"Well, if that's the case..." Sachi said.
Sachi happily stripped out of her Palaestra school uniform. Revealing her regular casual clothes.
The other Bronze Saints and Aria became rather surprised by Sachi's sudden advancement.
"You had your regular clothes under your uniform the entire time, Sachi?" Souma asked.
Haruto was stunned at the least.
"Weren't you hot wearing two sets of clothing, Sachi?" Haruto asked.
Sachi shake her head.
"Nope. I was waiting for a moment like this when we embark of a grand adventure again." Sachi replied.
Ryuho began to have a sweat on his face.
"I guess that's how Sachi-san rolls." Ryuho commented.
Yuna began to sheepishly smile.
"Hold on, Sachi-chan. The rest of us have to change into our regular casual clothes before we head off." Yuna commented.
Eden smirked.
"I am already wearing my regular clothes." Eden commented.
Therefore, the other Bronze Saints minus Eden and Sachi had immediately gone back to their dorm rooms to change into their regular casual clothes.
"Okay. Now, we're all set to go." Souma commented.
Kouga nodded in agreement.
"Let's do whatever we can to break through the dreaded odds that are waiting for us. We'll meet up with one another in Dubai once everything with finding the Constellation Bracelets is in the clear." Kouga explained.
The Bronze Saints and Aria immediately nodded at Kouga in agreement.
"Alright, road trip of the epics!" Sachi hollered.
Therefore, the eight Bronze Saints along with Aria went to separate roads, going on their respective journeys.
Elsewhere, within the far corners of the over world, a set of mysterious fellows were observing Kouga and company.
"Until our master awakens from his slumber to destroy Earth, we will proceed in battle with Athena's Saints. Particularly the Bronze Saints in his stead." Izure, Ifrit of malice commented.
