Hey, everyone! Here is the fourteenth chapter to Saint Seiya Omega: Exceed. As the Bronze Saints were reeling in with the aftermath of Kouga's monstrous state; Aria undergoes the same fate as well. Hope you enjoyed it.
Chapter 14: Turbulence Ascending! The Equivalent Hinra!
The rather sudden disappearance of Aria began to worry Eden to a great extent.
Eden began to notice the note.
Eden immediately began to read through the note.
"To Eden, Yuna and the others, I am sorry for leaving so abruptly when the fate of Earth is still hanging in the balance. I am truly sorry for not calling forth the Athena Cloth. And I am most sorry for being such a burden..." Eden said, reading through the note.
That last sentence had shocked Eden.
"Aria thinks that she is a burden to the rest of us...?" Eden asked.
Eden wasted no time in searching for Aria.
Elsewhere, within the far corridors of the grand city of Dubai; Yuna was still reeling in over the horrific situation that she has to go through.
Yuna still had the mild thought of Kouga on her mind.
"Kouga." Yuna thought.
Yuna quietly went into tears.
"Is there anything that I could helped as proof that you're not alone?" Yuna thought.
Then, Yuna's friends have emerged after seeing her in such a terrible mess.
"How are you holding up, Yuna?" Souma asked.
Sachi then handed Yuna a tissue.
Yuna immediately wiped her tears.
"I don't know on how to make sense of all this." Yuna replied.
Souma and Haruto then expressed their anger.
"Still, why would go rogue on us?" Souma asked.
Haruto then fixated his glasses.
"I will admit, that was rather unorthodox of Kouga to attack us from under that form." Haruto commented.
The others except Yuna and the three younger children had agreed.
"C'mon, we shouldn't jump to conclusions so fast." Raki commented.
Yuna agreed with Raki's words.
"Raki is right. Kouga is still our friend." Yuna reassured.
Somehow, Sachi was not sure.
"Is Kouga-san still our friend in hindsight, Yuna-san?" Sachi asked.
Yuna was shocked to hear Sachi actually asked that question.
"What are you saying, Sachi-chan?" Yuna asked.
Then, Eden appeared in front of his friends.
"Eden? What's wrong?" Yuna asked.
Eden became rather stern.
"Aria disappeared. I can't find her." Eden replied.
The other Bronze Saints were shocked.
"Aria disappeared?" Yuna asked.
Then, Raki then felt a telekinetic wave.
"Aria is not that far ahead. In fact, she's three blocks away." Raki commented.
Everyone was quite surprised.
Following with Raki's gut, the Bronze Saints and their younger friends eventually track down Aria.
"There she is! It's Aria!" Selene hollered.
Eden step forward.
"Aria." Eden said.
Aria remained quiet.
"You gave us quite the scare." Eden commented.
Aria was still quiet.
"I'm sorry, Eden." Aria muttered.
Eden simply just shakes his head.
"It's alright, Aria. If there's anything that is bothering you; I will always be there to listen." Eden explained.
Eden then walked towards Aria.
"No! Stay back! I'm a burden!" Aria snapped.
The other Bronze Saints were wildly confused.
"A burden? You, Aria?" Souma asked.
Eden immediately disagreed.
"You're not a burden, Aria. I know that. We can shared this pain together." Eden reassured.
Eden continued to walk towards Aria.
Aria then witnessed her own horrible transformation.
"I'm begging you! Stay back, Eden!" Aria hollered.
A violent wave had stroked upon Aria.
Aria began to screamed in deep pain.
Everyone began to witness this outcome.
Wadd had begun to witness this chain of events as well.
Aria had transformed into the female equivalent to the Hiura; the Hinra.
"Aria? Are you alright?" Yuna asked.
Aria began to look upon her new form.
Aria became rather afraid.
Then, the state of the Hinra began to take full control of Aria.
Hinra Aria began to mercifully attack her friends one by one.
Next, she confronted Eden and Yuna.
Hinra Aria was about to unleashed a deadly finale. However, her hand froze.
Hinra Aria was hesitating. She did not have the mere guts to hurt her friends.
Hinra Aria then looked upon her friends with a sad expression. She immediately came to the conclusion that she is not worthy enough of becoming the next Athena. She can't be of use to anyone at this point.
Hinra Aria immediately fled the scene.
"Aria. Don't go." Eden said.
Afterwards, everyone had met up back at the celestial temple.
Selene began to make tea for the group. Hoping that it could lighten their spirits up.
Selene then went to served Eden first.
"Here, Eden. You need this the most." Selene commented.
Eden slightly smiled at he took Selene's offer.
Eden looked upon his cup of tea.
"Why did Aria had to go through this pressure alone...?" Eden thought.
Yuna couldn't get her head at solid ease as she was still thinking about Kouga.
"Kouga." Yuna thought.
Seiya and Saori were greatly concerned about the Bronze Saints as this horrid outcome could break them and their strong bond effectively.
Did you enjoy it?
