Hey, everyone! Here is the ninth chapter to Saint Seiya Omega: Exceed. While at Yemen, Emma and Sonia must somehow put aside their open shared of differences in order to tackle a common threat. Hope you enjoyed it.
Chapter 9: Unyielding Hearts! Pure and Unjustified!
The trio of Souma, Emma and Sonia had arrived in Yemen, the southern end of the Arabian Peninsula.
"Yemen, huh?" Souma asked.
Sonia sharply glared at Souma.
"I swear to god, if you asked for some food; I will underhand you." Sonia commented.
Souma became unparsed.
"And still scary as ever." Souma said.
Emma secretly agreed with Souma.
"I'll say." Emma said.
Sonia began to push her buttons with Emma.
"Watch it, twerp!" Sonia hollered.
Emma began to snarl back.
"You're going to make me, Madame Temper?" Emma asked.
Emma and Sonia instantly growled at each other.
Souma, having a short attention span, was truly clueless about Sonia and Emma's rather hostile behavior towards one another.
Souma went to explored around Yemen while Emma and Sonia resumed their rivalry in gaining Souma's affection.
Souma was eating some delicious food while Emma and Sonia had looked on at a clear distance.
"That dumbass does not know on he is getting himself into." Sonia commented.
Emma began to sip onto her water.
"Surely, you can't accept the outcome." Emma said.
Sonia then growled her teeth.
"What are you going about, little fox?" Sonia asked.
Emma knew the rivalry between herself and Sonia for Souma's affection will go on a very high note much sooner than anticipated.
Emma began to go for another sip of her water.
"I mean, the way that I actually see it, you are not a good fit for Souma's taste. What he needs is a little flare of fire. And it turns out; I have that kind of fire to suit him." Emma replied.
Sonia, on the other hand, felt otherwise, knowing that Souma will never date someone who is much younger than he is, let alone a young thirteen-year old like Emma.
"You think Lionet will ever conceal himself with a young girl such as yourself? Someone who is three years younger than he is? Someone who is very timid and has low self-confidence in herself?" Sonia asked.
Emma became rather ticked off.
"He has an actual name! And it's Souma-san!" Emma hollered.
Emma and Sonia viciously growled at one another.
"I'm well aware of his name, thank you very much!" Sonia hollered.
Emma then became rather sly.
"You almost committed suicide two years ago! How was that working out for you?" Emma asked.
Sonia became rather stunned.
"How did you know that I ended up dying?" Sonia asked.
Emma began to cross her arms in a pleasing manner.
"Souma-san told me. Souma-san tells me everything." Emma replied.
Of course, Sonia began to put a pouty face.
"Tell me, what makes you so deeply interested in Lionet?" Sonia asked.
Emma began to blush as she began to look upon Souma.
"W-well, he is amazing, incredible and always full of surprises. He's basically the best teacher that someone like me could have." Emma replied.
Sonia began to scoff on that whole aspect in which Emma was going for.
"So this teacher-protégé relationship that you have with Lionet is mostly based on you being enamored with him like a hopeless puppy?" Sonia asked.
Emma hadn't put much thought into it, since that was the actual case.
"N-no! It's that just strong admiration that I have for him!" Emma replied.
Sonia then smirked.
"Keep telling yourself that. You'll never be fit for Lionet. As you can see, Lionet and I have a long history with one another." Sonia commented.
Emma became rather tuned out.
"One that involves killing his father. Prompting him to go on a revenge spree. And plus, we don't know that for sure. It all depends on Souma-san's choice after all." Emma commented.
Then, Sonia heard something.
"W-what's wrong? No further insults on who is the better woman for Souma-san?" Emma asked.
Sonia then donned her Scorpio Cloth.
"Something's coming." Sonia replied.
Emma could immediately felt something as Sonia was not kidding at all.
Something did appear within the blink of eye in the form of a Shaytaan of pride. And one made of Aether.
The civilians began to run in fear.
"Well, you humans wasted no time in coming to me." Suukei explained.
Sonia then charged at will against Suukei. However, Suukei immediately threw Sonia off her groove.
Suukei then attacked Emma as well.
Emma tried to get up back on her feet.
"Little fox. You best not get in my way." Sonia commented, in a cold manner.
Emma became rather irritated.
"What is that supposed to mean?!" Emma asked.
Sonia began to bounce back in striking at Suukei.
Suukei then smacked Sonia hardcore.
After hearing all of the commotion, Souma managed to catch Sonia's fall within a flash.
"You just can't get away from getting yourself into trouble, Sonia?" Souma asked.
Souma simply snickered.
Sonia rapidly blushed as she shoved Souma from out of her space.
"I could take care of myself, Lionet!" Sonia replied, being tsundere.
Souma became slightly ticked off.
"Is that really the thanks I am getting for saving your rear end?" Souma asked.
Souma then turned his attention to Emma.
"Are you alright, squirt?" Souma asked.
Emma nodded her head.
Souma took a glance at his Lionet Constellation Bracelet.
"How about we try these toys out for a major spin?" Souma asked.
Emma nodded in agreement.
"Great idea, Souma-san!" Emma replied.
Souma sharply grinned at Emma.
Souma's Lionet Constellation Bracelet and Emma's Vulpecula Constellation Bracelet began to blink rapidly.
Images of the Lion and Fox have respectively appeared instantly beneath both Souma and Emma's presences.
Souma and Emma then rose up their hands into the air at the same time.
"Let's go for it, Lionet!" Souma hollered.
"Guide me to your courage, Vulpecula!" Emma hollered.
A surge has resonated as Souma and the Lion as well as Emma and the Fox became one with one another.
-Engage! Constellation Overdrive! – The background voice hollered.
Souma and Emma then donned their new Cloths.
Souma began to engage like a lion while Emma performed rather sly moves of the fox.
Souma and Emma were ready for battle.
- Ready: Bronze Saint- Lionet! – The background voice hollered.
- Ready: Bronze Saint- Vulpecula! – The background voice continued.
Souma became rather impressed with his new predicament.
"Very awesome." Souma commented.
Emma was impressed as well.
"So, this is the Mystic Cloth?" Souma asked.
Emma felt hers was a bit on the tight side.
"M-mine's is a little tight." Emma confessed.
Souma and Emma turned their attention towards Suukei.
"Let's kick his ass, Emma!" Souma hollered.
Emma nodded her head.
Souma began to take the first move with Emma following on afterwards.
Souma then created a dagger of fire to strike at Suukei.
Suukei then made an attack of his own.
Emma began to create a heavy firewall against Suukei.
Suukei immediately pawned Emma to the ground.
Suukei then turned his attention towards Sonia.
"And, that leaves one." Suukei commented.
Suukei then synchronized a beam of aether.
Souma immediately noticed on what Suukei was going to do.
"Sonia!" Souma hollered.
Souma began to intervene as he was caught into the crossfire.
"Lionet!" Sonia hollered.
Emma immediately felt a deep trance.
"S-Souma-san..." Emma said.
Emma tried to stand up once more.
Suukei then noticed Emma's structure.
"I thought that I was done with you, little girl." Suukei commented.
Emma began to clutch her hands.
"Two sets of hits won't bring me down so easily." Emma assured.
Emma then went into high gear by engaging into a very heated battle with Suukei.
Suukei used a very deadly tactic on Emma. However, the young girl was one step further with her own move sets.
"No matter how many punches and attacks or even tough trials come at me, I will always be back up! Always ready to try again!" Emma hollered.
A heavy flow began to breathe through Emma.
"That power that she's getting..." Sonia commented.
Souma then snickered.
"It's no doubt that it's the power of the Seventh Sense." Souma said.
Emma began to tap into this new feeling that she is having. As well as concentrating on her Cosmo.
"Swift, my Cosmo." Emma said.
Emma began to charge at Suukei while clutching her hands.
- Vulpecula Flashing Strike! – Emma hollered.
Emma began to throw two small beams by combining into one gigantic beam of destruction to strike at Suukei.
Suukei received a lot of damage.
"Rather surprising. A human managed to put a scratch on me." Suukei commented.
Suukei then vanished.
"Are you alright, Souma-san?" Emma asked.
Souma then patted on Emma's head, which made her blushed.
"I'm good. That was an epic performance you had pulled there, Emma." Souma replied.
Emma began to deeply blush after Souma had praised her.
Souma then turned to Sonia.
"You're not hurt, am I right, Sonia?" Souma asked.
Sonia became rather tsundere.
"Not like that I needed the assistance, but..." Sonia replied.
Sonia then grabbed Souma by the shirt as she gave him a kiss of deadly venom.
Souma and Emma were both caught off-guard by Sonia's gesture.
Sonia then let go.
Souma was strongly struck into deep space.
"What was that for?" Souma asked.
Sonia then slightly turned away.
"For saving my rear end. But, don't think that THIS changes anything." Sonia replied.
Souma had felt otherwise.
"Yeah, it definitely meant something to me." Souma commented.
Souma then turned to Emma.
"How many hours do we have left, Emma?" Souma asked.
Emma quickly checked into her pocket timer.
"About 143 hours left, Souma-san." Emma replied.
Souma began to sharply to sharply grin.
Souma then went to check the map on the fastest way to get to Dubai as Emma had look on in a loving manner.
Sonia then proceeded in giving Emma the middle finger after doing what she had did.
Emma became rather ticked off.
"Y-you scary bitch! This is not over!" Emma's inner self hollered.
Afterwards, the trio had reached to the sector port to Dubai.
"Alright! We're that close to Dubai!" Souma hollered.
Souma began to jam into some sweet tunes onto his MP3 player. And putting on his earphones in the process.
Emma and Sonia then growled at one another.
"Demon of Broodiness." Emma said.
Sonia then came up with an insult of her own.
"Unfit weakling." Sonia commented.
Emma and Sonia growled viciously at one another.
At a clear distance, Ryuho and Sachi could see Souma, Emma and Sonia.
"Wonder what happened here. By that, with Emma-chan and Sonia-san wanting to strangle each other's throats, I mean." Sachi commented.
Ryuho nodded in agreement as he had a sweat on his face.
"Anyway, let's go see them, Sachi-san." Ryuho said.
Ryuho and Sachi immediately ran to Souma, Emma and Sonia.
"Souma! Emma-chan!" Ryuho hollered, waving to Souma and Emma.
Souma then lower down the volume of his MP3 player.
"Ryuho! Sachi!" Souma hollered, waving back to his friends.
Sonia was about to punch out Emma until the younger girl paid attention to her friends.
"It's good to see you again, Ryuho-san and Sachi-san." Emma said.
Ryuho and Emma nodded in agreement.
"Likewise, Emma-chan." Sachi said.
Sachi then took a peak of Souma and Emma's Constellation Bracelets.
"So I taken you both had gotten your bracelets?" Sachi asked.
Souma and Emma nodded their heads.
"With ease!" Souma replied, putting his arm on Emma's head.
Emma began to slightly blush.
Eden and Aria alongside Selene and Reina have arrived on the scene.
"See there, Reina? That's our friends." Selene commented.
Reina simply hid behind Selene.
Aria simply smiled at Reina.
Eden could easily see Souma pulling the moves on his sister.
Aria began to easily calmed Eden's tension down.
Eden began to walk to his older sister as he gave her a hug.
Sonia began to slightly blush.
"Sister." Eden said.
Sonia then returned the gesture.
"Hey, little brother. I'm glad that you and Aria are alright." Sonia commented.
Souma then approached Eden in a cheerful manner.
"Hey, Eden!" Souma hollered.
Eden then gave Souma a death glare.
Souma became frightened.
Sachi then gently jabbed onto Souma's chest.
"You better watch out, Souma-san. Eden-san is coming for you." Sachi warned.
Sachi then patted Reina.
"So you're the new friend of Selene?" Sachi asked.
Reina shyly nodded her head.
"Y-yes." Reina replied.
Sachi sharply grinned.
"I know what is like to be the new arrival within the group." Sachi commented.
Then, Haruto appeared out of nowhere, which startled almost everyone.
"H-Haruto-san." Emma said.
Haruto remained silent.
"I've gotten a hold of my Constellation Bracelet." Haruto commented.
That's where the others began to realize that half of the group is nearly complete.
"I guess that the only ones are not here yet are Kouga-kun and Yuna?" Ryuho asked.
The other Bronze Saints nodded their heads.
"In any case, let's continued on ahead and wait for them at Dubai." Aria replied.
Eden smiled at Aria's suggestion.
"Well said, Aria." Eden commented.
Therefore, the group continued to traverse towards the sector port to Dubai.
