Hey, everyone! Here is the seventeenth chapter to Saint Seiya Omega: Exceed. While the other Bronze Saints were to trying to make sense of the departure of their friends; A familiar rogue gallery have arrived with an vengeance. Hope you enjoyed it.
Chapter 17: Breathing of Resonance! The Deadly Regime!
After their run-in with the Bronze Saints, the Ifrits were forced to retreat.
Izure thought about the unwired power that the Bronze Saints, especially Kouga has.
"The Pegasus boy has more power. More power than the rest of the Bronzes combined." Izure commented.
The Ifrits immediately agreed.
"The next time we see those kids, we won't show them any mercy." Izure explained.
The Ifrits nodded their heads.
Izure then looked upon the comatose cocoon that lays Al-Quam.
"I guess that the master was right to seek out this boy's defying power." Izure thought.
Meanwhile, back within Dubai. At the far corners of the hemisphere; Souma and the others were trying to stay on track after the departures of Kouga, Aria, Eden and now Yuna.
"I think that I should say this on our entire behalf; I was not expecting any of this to come into full circle." Souma explained.
Emma became rather sad.
"We shouldn't be fighting amongst ourselves. Not when the greater evil is upon our feet." Emma commented.
Raki, Selene and Reina immediately agreed.
"Like Kiki-sama would say; the first step is moving towards another tomorrow. Or...coming back as a unit..." Raki explained.
Raki became rather sad after saying her last sentence.
Haruto began to fidget onto his glasses.
"Saori-san and the others have scouted across the Arabian hemisphere in order to prevent this outcome. No matter what, the entire majority of Earth is counting on us. We can't let flattered expressions stop us from protecting Dubai." Haruto explained.
Souma immediately agreed.
"Damn right." Souma commented.
Sachi became strongly quiet.
Ryuho immediately took great noticed.
"Sachi-san, are you alright?" Ryuho asked.
Sachi wasn't entirely sure.
"I...I don't know. It's just that…Was I harsh on Yuna-san earlier, Ryuho-kun?" Sachi asked.
Ryuho didn't think so at the very least.
"You weren't being harsh, Sachi-san. You were just concerned about Yuna in your own way, that's all." Ryuho replied.
Ryuho put his hand on Sachi's shoulder in a reassuring manner.
"I guess. I just want to make sure that she's alright." Sachi commented.
Souma then became rather fussy.
"Yuna is a big girl who can take care of herself. She does not need us. She made that clear when going after Kouga." Souma retorted.
Sachi became rather sad.
"If we were in Yuna-san's boots right now, we wouldn't had back down and made at least an effort in saving both Aria and Kouga-san." Sachi commented.
The Bronze Saints then realized Sachi might be right.
"I hate it when you're right, Sachi." Souma commented, scratching his head.
Then, the Bronze Saints had heard something.
"You guys feel that shockwave?" Souma asked.
The others nodded their heads.
"Raki. You, Selene and Reina better find somewhere to hide." Souma ordered.
The younger girls then nodded their heads.
"Gotcha. You guys better be careful." Raki commented.
Raki, Selene and Reina then went to a nearby shelter.
"Alright, come out and play already!" Souma hollered.
The young Saints remained surprisingly still.
Several unwanted folk have appeared before the Bronze Saints.
"Well, well. Aren't we the eager one?" Cula, an aqua Shaaytan asked.
Then, Ryuho and Sachi recognized one of the Shaaytan.
"You're..." Ryuho said.
Sachi immediately proceeded in finishing Ryuho's sentence.
"Maazra! You disgusting vermin!" Sachi hollered.
Maazra simply just laughed.
"Well, we shouldn't judge. After all, you humans are the disgusting vermin." Maazra retorted.
The silver Shaaytan began to play the sly game.
"You weren't kidding about those humans, Maazra." Ulra, an earth Shaaytan commented.
Maazra then observed Ryuho and Sachi.
"You two won't be lucky this time around. We have a personal message from Izure-sama. To exterminate you." Maazra explained.
Sachi began to think rather lowly of the situation at hand.
"We could actually care less of your message from the Ifrits." Sachi commented.
Emma became somewhat frightened about Maazra's last sentence.
"Well, we will see soon enough on who'll get the last laugh." Rugra, a fire Shaaytan retorted.
By catching the Bronze Saints off-guard; the Shaaytans attacked their foes in blind slight.
"Well, that's a wrap." Cula commented.
The Shaaytans didn't hear any sounds. It must have meant a soaring victory on their part.
"Well, it won't be a wrap. Not when we're still in the game!" Souma declared.
The Bronze Saints were equipped onto their Mystic Cloths.
'Now, that's more like it." Maazra explained.
A heated battle had commenced between the Bronze Saints and the Shaaytans.
The Shaaytans definitely gave the Bronze Saints a dreaded run for their money.
"Give up. You've lose." Rugra explained.
The Bronze Saints could feel deep scratches within their skins.
"Damn it." Haruto muttered.
Raki, Selene and Reina went to check on their friends after hearing the countless beating.
"Guys!" Raki and Selene hollered in unison.
The Shaaytans began to taunt the Bronze Saints.
That's where the Bronze Saints had just enough backlashes for one day.
The Bronze Saints immediately stood up.
"We can't afford to lose. Not when Earth is in danger." Souma commented.
The rest of the Bronze Saints agreed with Souma's words.
The younger girls were in awe with their older friends.
The Shaaytans then observed Reina. As she looked rather familiar to them.
"We're not going to lose. Because we are taking you down." Sachi announced.
Ryuho simply smiled at Sachi.
"Let's go!" Souma hollered.
Therefore, the Bronze Saints went full throttle on the Shaaytans.
The young Saints knew that everything at stake, they cannot afford to lose.
Thus, they went to give the Shaaytans another beating.
Using his ninja reflexes, Haruto began to set a trap for the Shaaytans.
The Shaaytans became drawn to the circle.
The circle began to light up.
The bodies of the Shaaytans began to split within two.
"Curse you, Bronze Saints! Curse you to hell!" The Shaaytans hollered in unison.
Sachi began to stick out her tongue at the Shaaytans as her own way to greatly taunt them.
"Well, thanks for giving us the victory, you mystical chumps." Sachi commented.
The Shaaytans then vanished.
After their battle against the Shaaytans; the Bronze Saints were seen recouping.
Reina was lost in thought. Raki and Selene had taken great noticed.
"Hey, Reina. Are you okay?" Raki asked.
Reina was not exact sure.
"I don't know." Reina replied.
Reina remained quiet.
"You know, those guys seem rather tense when they saw you. Wonder on what that was about?" Raki asked.
Reina wondered about that as well.
"Well, we shouldn't worried too much of it." Selene reassured.
Reina agreed to an extent.
Souma then threw a rock at Raki. This ticked her off pretty badly.
"Hey, Raki! How many hours do we have left?" Souma asked.
Raki quickly got annoyed, but remained rather cool.
Raki then looked onto her hourglass.
"Approximately 71 hours." Raki replied.
That's where Souma had come to a drastic decision.
"Then, that would give us the right amount of hours to make things right." Souma explained.
The other Bronze Saints knew on what Souma was talking about.
"Yuna was right. We should have tried harder in helping BOTH our friends. Aria and especially Kouga-kun." Ryuho commented.
The Bronze Saints then regretted the internal fallout that they initially had with Yuna. As they failed to understood her feelings.
"Then, it's decided. We can't waste time fighting amongst ourselves. We have come back together as one unit if we`re going to faced Al-Quam." Haruto declared.
Sachi became rather cheerful upon hearing the decision that she and her friends had just made.
"Alright! Time to reunite the eternal bandwagon!" Sachi hollered.
The younger girls immediately smiled at their older friends.
"I hope we're not too late!" Raki hollered.
Souma began to grin.
"We're bound to find Yuna or Eden somehow, right?" Souma asked.
Emma simply smiled at Souma.
"Right, Souma-san!" Emma replied.
Therefore, Souma and the gang began their search for their friends. Hoping to find Yuna or Eden. And they have 71 hours to do so.
