Chapter 11: A Breaking Point! Collision Course!
Saori and her many Saints began to enjoyed some time around Dubai.
With the clock still ticking before Al-Quam emerges.
Yuna, Aria, Sachi, Emma, Raki, Selene and Reina decided to have some quality girl time.
They began to share some deep upbringings that had unwound recently. Starting with Emma's fair slate of her heated rivalry with Sonia.
Yuna began to giggle.
"Really? Sonia actually gave you the finger. Emma-chan?" Yuna asked.
Emma shyly nodded her head.
"Actually, I was kind of expecting that gesture from Sonia-san either way. Letting me know that she will be the one who wins Souma-san." Emma replied.
Sachi began to snicker.
"With a raunchy gesture like that, it's probably safe to say that Sonia-san is not going down without a fight!" Sachi hollered.
Aria nodded her head in agreement.
"That's for sure. In Sonia's case at the very least." Aria commented.
Raki then had a cheerful expression.
"So, what are you going to do with your problem, Emma?" Raki asked.
Emma became rather flustered.
"I-I don't know." Emma replied.
Sachi then intentionally put her foot down.
"I'll tell you on what you're going to do next, Emma-chan. We're going to make sure that you'll be the one who wins Souma-san's heart. While at the same time, overthrow Sonia-san at her own game." Sachi explained.
Yuna nodded her head.
"Sachi-chan is right, Emma-chan." Yuna said.
Yuna then looked upon on where Souma is by the marketplace with Kouga, Ryuho and Wadd.
"After all, that idiot does not know on what he is missing." Yuna commented.
Raki, Selene and Reina simply snickered at one another.
"The greatest challenge of love itself!" Raki, Selene and Reina hollered in unison.
Emma began to slightly blushed, knowing on how strongly her friends had felt about this.
Within a grand temple, Saori gathered her Saints to discuss a plan in motion regarding the Ifrits.
"If the Ifrits are going full-out with this war before Al-Quam arrives, we have to pull our A-game and do whatever we can to protect Earth at all cost." Shaina explained.
Seiya and the other Saints have instantly agreed.
"Better that than doing just about anything at this point." Harbinger commented.
Integra then became rather smug.
"Like saying better than breaking people's bones?" Integra asked.
Harbinger grew rather irritated with Integra.
Saori then got off her chair for a mere second as she began to walk off.
The other Saints began to take noticed.
"Saori-san?" Seiya asked.
Saori then give a sign to make the others not so worried.
"It's okay. I'm just taking a walk." Saori commented.
Saori then vanished.
"That probably means that Saori-san wants to chat with Kouga." Eden commented.
Sonia agreed with her younger brother.
"That's a safe bet." Sonia said.
Haruto began to adjust his glasses.
"Come to think of it; Kouga was out of place during our last fight with those four-legged creatures." Haruto pondered.
Eden agreed with Haruto.
"But, will he be alright?" Shun asked.
Eden and Haruto weren't too sure.
"Hopefully, it won't lead to something that could change Kouga's outlook on life itself." Shiryu explained.
Hyoga agreed with Shiryu.
"Or his case, do something stupid." Hyoga commented.
Yuna and the girls were seen laughing with one another.
Then, Saori approached them afterwards.
Yuna became rather confused.
"Saori-san?" Yuna asked.
Saori became rather quiet.
"Can I talk to you alone, Yuna?" Saori asked.
Aria became confused afterwards as Sachi decided to give the other girls the signal to leave momentarily.
Saori then sat down with Yuna afterwards.
"Had you noticed anything off with Kouga?" Saori asked.
Yuna nodded her head.
"From the get-go like you had mentioned, Saori-san. I noticed his structure during our fight with the four-legged creatures." Yuna replied.
Yuna became rather worried.
"It was like he was hiding something from me." Yuna confessed.
Saori began to wonder about that one fact.
"Hiding something?" Saori asked.
Yuna then nodded her head.
Saori then looked towards the marketplace, where Kouga was at. Eating some ice cream with Souma, Ryuho and Wadd.
"I'm going to confirmed it on the double." Saori commented.
Saori immediately went to the marketplace.
Wadd was seen feeding his pet snakes.
Kouga and Souma were looking on in a blank state.
"That is one weird guy." Souma commented.
Kouga quietly nodded his head.
"Yup." Kouga said.
Ryuho simply just had a sweat on his face as he sheepishly laughed.
Saori then approached the boys.
Kouga was mildly surprised to see Saori at the marketplace.
"Saori-san?" Kouga asked.
A moment of silence had erupted.
"Can I have a word with you, Kouga?" Saori asked.
Souma then jabbed Kouga.
"You're going to have a hissy fit from Saori-san!" Souma hollered.
Kouga simply just growled at Souma.
Souma, Ryuho and Wadd simply left Kouga and Saori in peace.
A robotic beetle was seen watching Wadd.
Izure began to grit his teeth.
"I guess that our creations couldn't outmatch the Bronze Saints. We'll take matters into our own hands." Izure commented.
Saori began to sit down with Kouga.
"So, how you been doing with your studies, Kouga?" Saori asked.
Kouga began to sheepishly laugh in embarrassment.
"To be honest, really terrible. Yuna has been trying to help me get my grades up for a while now." Kouga replied.
Saori simply just nodded her head.
"I'm sure that Yuna will bring out the very best in..." Saori said.
There, Saori began to felt a dark presence. She had felt the mysterious shard within Kouga's possession.
"It can't be..." Saori thought.
Kouga became rather confused.
"Saori-san?" Kouga asked.
Saori then shake her head.
"I-I'm alright." Saori replied.
Saori then stood and headed off in a hurry.
Saori then turned to Kouga.
"Whatever you have...please dispose of it for your own good, Kouga." Saori explained.
Saori then made her leave.
Kouga then reached for his pants pocket.
"Does Saori-san know that I have the shard...?" Kouga thought.
Saori then went back to where Yuna was.
"It seems that you were right to be worried, Yuna. Kouga has a dark shard in his possession." Saori confessed.
Yuna began to slightly widen in deep shock.
Saori then put her hand on Yuna's shoulder.
"I know it must be hard on you for having Kouga keeping something from you. You both are always willing to talk about the dire situations at hand." Saori commented.
Yuna was still sad regardless.
"But, I wanted to know was...why did he...?" Yuna asked.
Then, Yuna and Saori had a heard a dark vibe within the clouds.
Kouga had felt it as well.
Within the celestial temple, Raki, Selene and Reina began to show everyone the three mysterious items that they had a picked up. Specifically the golden lamp, a golden medallion and a golden pendulum.
"Nice to see some golden flare." Sachi commented.
The three girls definitely agreed with Sachi's compliment.
"But, what all three of them contains a force of justice?" Ikki asked.
That's where Aria had felt the enclosed dynamic.
Eden immediately put his hand on Aria's shoulder. Effectively believing her.
"We can worry about that question afterwards. Right now, we must answer to the hour of duty." Kiki replied.
Everyone else then nodded in agreement.
Therefore, the Saints rushed out of the temple. With the three children looking on.
Kouga immediately joined up with his friends.
Seiya and the others came to Saori's side.
A breath of violent vibe began to unleash upon itself.
The many Ifrits that Kouga and the others have battled have appeared all at once.
Kouga and his friends were quite surprised to see them. They were even surprised by the appearance of Izure.
Wadd and his snakes began to slipped away after getting the rather shill of news.
"I have been hearing a lot of stuff coming from you Bronze Saints." Izure explained.
Izure became rather firm.
"It seems to me that you are in for a treat." Izure commented.
The Saints as well as Saori began to slowly grit their teeth.
A supernatural outcome began to commence in moment's time.
Izure, Eigrai, Ilerai, Azuma, Keira, Eizua and Miera began to fuse together into one being.
A being called Reiuga.
"Prepare yourselves, humans. For we are Reigua." Reiuga said.
The Bronze Saints became rather devastated.
"R-Reigua?" Kouga asked.
Reigua then unleashed his assault on Athena and her many Saints.
Seiya then blocked the grounding punch of Reigua.
"I'll admit. That was impressive. However, you better check out our groove now." Seiya commented.
Seiya then leapt into the air.
"Now!" Seiya hollered.
The Gold Saints as well as Ikki and Shaina nodded their heads.
Seiya began the first assault.
-Atomic Thunderbolt! – Seiya hollered.
The others followed suit afterwards.
- Rozan Hyaku Ryu Ha! – Shiryu hollered.
- Diamond Dust! – Hyoga hollered.
- Nebula Chain! – Shun hollered.
- Starlight Execution! – Kiki hollered.
- Great Horn! – Harbinger hollered.
- Galaxian Explosion! – Integra hollered.
- King Lion! – Mycenae hollered.
-Crimson Needle! – Sonia hollered.
The Gold Saints managed to give Reigua a run of his money.
-Phoenix Genma Ken! - Ikki hollered.
- Thunder Claw! – Shaina hollered.
Ikki and Shaina overthrow Reigua within a second.
Kouga and his friends immediately donned their Mystic Cloths.
Aria calls forth her staff.
"Bring out the Athena Cloth, Aria." Saori advised.
Aria nodded her head.
Then, Aria became emotionally afraid as she was struggling with her inner self.
Aria began to tremble in fear as she saw herself discarding her staff as well as the Athena Cloth.
Aria`s fear of being a burden was coming true.
Everyone especially Kouga and Yuna were worried about Aria.
"Aria." Yuna thought.
Kouga then gritted his teeth.
"We need to end this quick. For Aria's sake." Kouga said.
Eden immediately agreed with Kouga.
The Bronze Saints then banded together.
Reigua began to unleash a great amount of fury against the Bronze Saints.
Therefore, an unknown stroke of light had bestowed upon the Bronze Saints.
Kouga and company were wildly confused.
Reigua began to strike once again.
However, the bright light reappeared.
The Bronze Saints began to realize it as this was their combined special move.
- Divine Overdrive! – The Bronze Saints hollered in unison.
Many of the Bronze Saints' respective constellations attack Reigua. By spinning the circle.
The Vulpecula began to take the first strike. Then, the Dragon and Apus took a second one. The Lion and Wolf followed suit afterwards. The Aquila and Orion were not far away.
Lastly, the mighty Pegasus attacked with all of his might.
Reigua was no match for the combined efforts of the Saints.
Reigua was then reverted back to the many Ifrits.
"Damn it. We'll let them have this round." Izure commented.
The Ifrits then vanished.
Eden immediately checked on Aria.
"Are you alright, Aria?" Eden asked.
Aria began to bring a rather sincere smile.
"I'm alright, Eden." Aria replied.
Eden was really concerned.
"You didn't call out the Athena Cloth again. Why?" Eden asked.
Aria already knew the direct answer. If she had said anything, she would end up slowing down Eden, her twin brother and friends.
Kouga and Souma began to gallop on Eden to celebrate their short victory against the Ifrits.
Yuna began to eye Kouga. Knowing on what she must do next.
After the heated battle, the Bronze Saints, Wadd, Aria and Sonia were having a well-deserved moment of peace.
Yuna then approached Kouga.
"Hey, sweetie. Can we talk privately?" Yuna asked.
Kouga nodded his head.
"Sure we can, babe." Kouga replied.
Kouga and Yuna began to hold each other's hand as they went to the plateau area of Dubai.
Raki could already felt the tension coming as she went to followed Kouga and Yuna.
Selene and Reina went to their instincts in going after their friend.
"Looks like the lovebirds are having their moment." Souma commented.
Emma simply nodded her head in agreement.
Emma went into another standoff with Sonia.
Then, the others noticed the vanishing act of the three girls.
"Where did Raki, Selene and Reina went off to?" Sachi asked.
Wadd simply just shrugged.
"Who knows?" Wadd asked.
Kouga and Yuna had engaged in their alone time.
Kouga began to stretch his arms.
"I love having the simple life. If you know what I mean." Kouga commented.
Yuna became rather quiet.
"Yuna?" Kouga asked.
Yuna became rather bitter at this point.
"Please. Just be honest with me this one time, Kouga." Yuna replied.
Kouga became rather confused.
Yuna then reached her hand for the inside of Kouga's pants pocket.
"Hey! What are you...?" Kouga asked.
Yuna then glanced at the shard and simply glared at Kouga.
"Is this the thing that has been distracting you?" Yuna asked.
Kouga nodded his head.
"Saori-san told me about it." Yuna confessed.
Kouga became rather shocked.
Yuna became rather upset.
"Why did you intend to hide this kind of secret away from me, Kouga?" Yuna asked.
Raki then emerged into the scene. With a sleet of shivers.
Selene and Reina appeared afterwards.
"I-it's not what it looks like, Yuna." Raki replied.
Yuna then turned to Raki.
"Raki. Did you know about this?" Yuna asked.
Raki was trembling like crazy.
Raki then nodded her head.
"Yes. I did." Raki replied.
Selene and Reina simply gasped at Raki's revelation.
Yuna continued to glare at Kouga.
"Did you take me as some kind of an idiot?" Yuna asked.
Kouga then simply glared at Yuna with a sheer of disbelief.
"No way! Not even once!" Kouga replied.
Kouga simply scratched his hair.
"I did not want you to get worried." Kouga commented.
It was the total opposite for Yuna.
"Well, I was." Yuna said.
Kouga couldn't find the right words to say.
"We were supposed to share everything together. Good or bad." Yuna commented.
Kouga was abnormally silent.
"But, it seems that you had forgotten about that, Kouga. What hurts the most is that you lied to me. Relationships are supposed to be built on trust not the other way around." Yuna said.
Kouga began to felt otherwise.
"Well, there are some things that are meant to keep a secret." Kouga commented.
Yuna grew rather firm.
"Get of the shard, Kouga! For your own sake!" Yuna hollered.
Kouga then snatched the shard from Yuna's hand.
"I won't! And no convincing from you, Saori-san or anyone else will tell me otherwise!" Kouga hollered.
Yuna felt like she was crying.
"Well, maybe we should break up." Yuna said.
Kouga was strongly open to the suggestion.
"Maybe we should." Kouga commented.
Yuna became rather shocked. As it hurt her very deeply.
Kouga did not mean it in that way.
"No, no! You guys can't break up! You're like the best couple I have ever seen!" Raki hollered.
Yuna began to shed some tears.
"You know what? Whatever." Yuna said.
Yuna then wiped her tears.
"I'm heading back to the others. We won't resort to that yet. We'll find a way to get rid of the shard. Even if Kouga won't do it." Yuna said.
Yuna turned to Kouga.
Yuna was still saddened as she left.
Selene and Reina followed Yuna afterwards.
Raki then put her hand on Kouga's shoulder.
"It will be alright, Kouga. You'll see." Raki said.
Raki then left Kouga in peace.
Kouga and Yuna were both caught off-guard by this first point of crossroads within their relationship.
Kouga then tightly clutched the shard in his hand.
Did you enjoy it?
