Hey, everyone! Here is the eighteenth chapter to Saint Seiya Omega: Exceed. Yuna and Eden had successfully found Kouga and Aria. Will they able to reach them? Hope you enjoyed it.
Chapter 18: A Silver Lining! Dangerous Overturn!
While still in Gerrha; Yuna made her mission to tender and tamed the monstrous Hirua formerly known as Kouga.
Yuna immediately prepared some herbs that she has been splicing up. Hoping they could cure Kouga back to his normal state once she mixes the herbs together into one.
Yuna simply watched Hirua Kouga as she was still greatly concerned.
"Kouga." Yuna thought.
Yuna went back to work.
Wadd and his snakes carefully observed Yuna with a calculating ease.
"Yu-chan is really working hard, right, guys?" Wadd asked.
Wadd's snakes simply nodded their heads.
Yuna could feel her forehead sweating like crazy as she immediately damped off the drips.
Meanwhile, across the Arabian Peninsula; Eden was still on his desperate search for Aria.
Eden had somehow found his way into the sacred area of Yemen.
"Yemen?" Eden asked.
Eden began to walk around Yemen. Hoping to find some clues about Aria.
Then, Eden spotted a blinking source of light from within the mountains.
Eden decided right away to check it out.
After much trekking, Eden had found a cave.
Eden immediately went inside of the cave.
Eden became curious on what happened to the light.
There, he found Aria. Still in her Hinra form.
Eden then laid a smile onto his face.
"Aria." Eden said.
Aria had a rather frightened expression.
"Eden..." Aria muttered.
The scenery then shifted to Yuna's point of view back in Gerrha.
Yuna had resumed tendering to Hiura Kouga's care.
Wadd began to quietly watch on as he quickly approached Yuna.
"Hey, Yu-chan. You're really working hard through all of this." Wadd commented.
Yuna became rather flustered.
"Well, I don't know about that..." Yuna said.
Yuna became rather lost in her own world.
"Actually, we had a rather huge fallout within our relationship. All because of a dumb shard. We were both stubborn to the point where we couldn't understand each other's perspective." Yuna explained.
Wadd simply just watched Yuna tending to Hiura Kouga.
"You sure care about him a whole lot." Wadd commented.
Yuna remained rather focused.
"Of course I do. He's my most precious friend. My best friend." Yuna stated.
Yuna simply gazed at Hirua Kouga with a smile.
"I know that the real you is still inside, Kouga. And I am going to do whatever it takes to bring you back." Yuna thought.
Yuna had a little tear in her eye.
"Because...I really missed you, you dumb but loving idiot." Yuna thought.
As Yuna was trying her best with Kouga; hopefully, Eden could do the same with Aria.
"Aria. I finally found you." Eden commented.
Hinra Aria remained quiet.
"I-It's dangerous for you to be around me, Eden. You should go back to the others." Hinra Aria stated.
Eden calmly refused Aria's suggestion.
"Not without you." Eden reassured.
Hinra Aria couldn't look at Eden straight into the eye. As she was still afraid.
"I have faced a lot of trials since the previous year, Eden. Coming back from the dead; reuniting with you, Kouga, Yuna and my precious friends. Fighting alongside everyone to battle Venus and the Venusians as well as Jupiter...Accepting my destiny as the new Athena..." Hinra Aria stated.
Hinra Aria froze a little bit.
"The new Athena...I failed Saori-san. I let everyone down. I am so sorry. It's my fault. All of it." Hinra Aria commented.
Eden did not think so as his opinion about his lover has not changed.
"You shouldn't blame yourself for this travesty, Aria. You shouldn't face your problems alone." Eden explained.
Eden began to clasped Hinra Aria's hands tightly.
"One thing that I know for sure is that Aria is still Aria. And no matter how you try to make me leave; I'll stay by your side no matter what." Eden reassured.
Hinra Aria clasped tighter into Eden's hands.
"Eden..." Hinra Aria muttered.
Eden and Hinra Aria began to gaze at one another in a romantic manner.
Later on, Hinra Aria couldn't sleep as she had a lot on her mind.
"Will Earth be safe? Or will the darkness will strike upon us?" Hinra Aria thought.
Hinra Aria immediately thought about the safety of her loved ones.
Hinra Aria could instantly see Hiura Kouga.
"I hope you're doing alright, Kouga. Make sure to take good care of Yuna. She needs you the most after all." Hinra Aria thought.
The scenery then shifted to the point-of-view of Yuna.
Yuna had remained by Hirua Kouga's side for at least five hours, effectively putting her to sleep in the process. Yuna's hand was seen caressing Hirua Kouga's red mane.
Wadd and his pet snakes were looking upon Yuna.
"She's really devoted to him." Wadd commented.
Yuna immediately woke up as she stretched a bit.
"That was a good rest." Yuna commented.
Yuna began to let out a very graceful and gentile smile as her lavender eyes were strongly eyeing Hirua Kouga.
"You know, we still haven't made any plans of what we should do when all of this is over, Kouga." Yuna explained.
Yuna was hoping that some of her flirting would bring Kouga back to her senses.
"I mean, we could go on another date. We're long due for that. Wait, we're not exactly together-together anymore. We could also travel the world together too. Crap, still forgetting that we're not an item anymore. Or...we could enjoy the simple life of a regular teenager. One that does not involved countless fighting to secure peace." Yuna continued.
Yuna simply flustered as she flock her honey blonde hair afterwards.
"To be honest, I don't care about all of those things. As long I am with you...As long I am with you…" Yuna said.
Yuna simply smiled.
"My life is not complete without you in it, Kouga." Yuna confessed.
Then, Yuna had noticed something was off with Hiura Kouga.
Wadd and his pet snakes noticed as well.
"Kouga...? Are you alright, Kouga...?" Yuna asked.
Hirura Kouga's pulse became rapidly stronger. Stronger than right now in his current state.
Yuna's eyes became widened in deep shock.
Kouga has gone onto another shape within his Hiura state. Massively surpassing Yuna's height.
This was the Hiura state in Explosive mode.
Did you enjoy it?
