Hey, everyone! Here is the thirteenth chapter to Saint Seiya Omega: Exceed. A drastic chnage was played into Kouga as the Bronze Saints are forced to go up against a monstrous demon from Arabian times. Hope you enjoyed it.
Chapter 13: A Dangerous Maneuver! Enter the Hiura!
Kouga was still growling under his newly emerged form.
"What in the hell is that...?" Souma asked.
The Bronze Saints began to stand on their ground.
"Is that Kouga-kun...?" Ryuho asked.
Eden gritted his teeth.
"No. The one standing before us is not exactly Kouga." Eden replied.
The Bronze Saints with the exception of Yuna as well as Aria effectively agreed with Eden's words.
"I...I don't believed such vile words." Yuna commented.
Aria agreed with Yuna.
"That's right. Kouga is still in there." Aria explained.
Eden then reassured Aria otherwise.
"Aria. You have to accept the fact that your brother is no longer active at this point." Eden explained.
Aria's eyes became slightly widened in shock.
"If Kouga wants a long list of how many times that he has tried to killed us when consumed by his own darkness; who are we to judge him for it?" Souma asked.
Sachi then flexed her shoulders.
"I say it's all or nothing if we want Kouga-san to come back to his senses." Sachi commented.
Ryuho agreed with Sachi's words.
"Let's do it." Ryuho said.
Yuna became rather conflicted with the current situation at hand. But, she nodded her head regardless.
Souma, Yuna, Ryuho, Haruto and Eden then donned their Superior Bronze Cloths while Sachi and Emma donned into their standard Bronze Cloths.
Eden then led Souma, Ryuho and Haruto to combat the creature that was once their friend, Kouga. Yuna stayed behind; looking in deep fear.
Hiura Kouga then unleashed a great malice of terror at his friends.
Ryuho was caught in the crossfire.
Luckily, Sachi was there to break the Meta interference.
"Gotcha, Ryuho-kun." Sachi said.
Ryuho began to slightly blush.
"Thank you, Sachi-san." Ryuho said.
Sachi simply grinned sharply.
"You are asking for it now, Kouga-san." Sachi commented.
Emma stood beside Sachi.
"Let's kick it to high gear, Emma-chan!" Sachi hollered.
Emma nodded her head.
"Exactly on what I was thinking, Sachi-san!" Emma hollered.
Sachi and Emma immediately charged at will against Hiura Kouga.
Hiura Kouga then engaged in melee rebound with his former friends.
Yuna continued to watch in fear as she witnessed Sachi and Emma getting clobbered by Hiura Kouga.
"Kouga. It's like that you have become a whole different due to that shard being in played." Yuna thought.
Yuna became rather sad seeing her best friend and lover like this.
Aria was devastated upon having her brother go through such a drastic change.
"This…this shouldn't end up like this. Is this because of me that my brother ended up in a horrid predicament...?" Aria thought.
Aria began to rise up her staff to bring forth the Athena Cloth.
However, Aria began to see some rather violent visions of Al-Quam.
Aria dropped her staff as she screamed in pain.
This was the third time that Aria hadn't called forth the Athena Cloth.
Eden began to look on with great concern.
"Aria." Eden said.
Eden then gritted towards Hiura Kouga.
"Aria." Eden said.
Eden then gritted towards Hiura Kouga.
"You see on what you have done, you idiot?" Eden asked.
Eden charged towards Hiura Kouga.
Aria began to take a glance of hand, as she was going through a phase of her own.
Aria immediately tried to keep it together.
Yuna became increasingly worried for both Kouga and Aria.
Hiura Kouga then engaged in a battle royal against his former friends, slaughtering them one by one.
Yuna continued to watch in deep horror.
"Is this on what you're becoming, Kouga…?" Yuna asked.
Raki, Selene and Reina then appeared in the scene.
"Holy...!" Raki hollered.
Selene and Reina then shushed Raki.
Raki smiled in embarrassment.
"It was a force of habit, I know. But, it looks like things are going into a bad point." Raki commented.
Selene and Reina agreed with Raki.
"You're right, Raki." Selene commented.
The others were badly scrapped in the ground afterwards.
Hirua Kouga then approached Eden.
"Do it. Prepare for your worst outcome." Eden commented.
Eden continued to look upon Aria's safety.
Hiura Kouga then synchronized a large Meta darkness beam to intently destroy the lives of Eden and the others.
Yuna and Aria watched in deep horror.
- Atomic Thunderbolt! – Seiya hollered.
Seiya used the technique of Aiolos to strike down Hiura Kouga.
Shiryu and the others began to help out the beaten Bronze Saints.
"Is that Kouga...?" Shun asked.
Hiura Kouga remained silent.
"Stand down, Kouga." Seiya warned.
However, Kouga wouldn't listen as he was still in his monstrous state.
Saori then went to Yuna and Aria's side.
"Are you girls alright?" Saori asked.
Yuna nodded her head.
"Yes. Just about, Saori-san." Yuna replied.
Yuna became rather sad.
"It's just that..." Yuna said.
Saori understood on what Yuna had meant.
Hirua Kouga growled like no other.
Yuna then made up her mind as she cannot let this violence continued than it already has.
Yuna began to walk towards Hirua Kouga.
"Yuna! This is not the time to be reckless!" Souma hollered.
Sachi then slowly glared at Souma.
"Well, look WHO'S talking, Souma-san." Sachi commented.
There, Yuna had come face-to-face with the monstrous form of her best friend and lover.
"Kouga. Do you recognized this face?" Yuna asked.
Hirua Kouga was breathing heavily.
"It's me, Yuna. Your girl. You got to at the very least know who I am." Yuna said, smiling.
Yuna deeply smiled at Kouga, hoping at the very least that he would remembered her.
Hirua Kouga then slowly gazed towards Yuna's lavender eyes.
However, Hirua Kouga then did the unthinkable. He ran off.
Yuna and the others began to look with great concern.
Raki then comforted Yuna.
"Kouga..." Yuna said.
Aria became visibly sad as she wondered about the chain of events that had just happened.
Aria then saw the growing change within herself as she clutched her left hand.
Much later, everyone was trying to put the pieces together on the violent catastrophe. As well as trying to figure out why Kouga had just went rogue on them.
Yuna then reached for her smartphone. Going through a picture of Kouga and herself together. Yuna had a growing sad look on her face as she slowly went into tears.
At the marketplace, Saori had met up with Pallas and Titan, who had come to assist in Earth's hour of need.
"I see...So that's what happened, oneesama. Poor Kouga." Pallas commented.
Saori was deeply worried.
"If that structure like that occurs, who knows on up next, Pallas-sama." Titan commented.
Pallas agreed to Titan's words.
On the celestial temple, Aria had witnessed Eden taking a rest.
There, she began to write a note. Aria began to place the note by Eden's hand.
"I am so sorry, Eden. For being such a burden..." Aria commented.
Aria then made her leave.
Eden then woke up.
"Aria...?" Eden asked.
Eden became rather worried.
He did not see Aria anywhere.
Did you enjoy it?
