Hey everyone! Firepo45 again, with another chapter for you guys to read! Sorry I took a while, but as usual, the excuse seems to be school, but oh well ^^" Anyways, the story will have a small twist with 5 Gold Saints, but I am sure it might please some of you at least! Now, read on and enjoy!
Disclaimer: As much as I would like to, I don“t own Saint Seiya or anything related. Christopher is mine, and Leviathan is stormy003's property.
Chapter 4: The Gold Ones
It had been 4 months ever since these 2 youngsters, Christopher and Leviathan, were introduced to us that they have trained hardly under their training regime under their respective Silver Saints. While Leviathan had already begun her training in the Netherlands, Christopher was starting from scratch, and yet, he managed to keep up with all of them. Their training was harsh, and sometimes too much to bear, but they all had their own reasons to join and become Saints.
Outskirts of Greece...
The area we are introduced to is a barren wasteland, it showing no sign of life, the wind simply blowing away all dust and sand it could catch. Ahead were 5 figures: 4 armor-clad men surrounded a slender figure, it being none other than Leviathan's. It was clear she was fighting soldiers in order to train herself. As she took a deep breath, and looked down, she then looked up with a much more serious expression. Flinching, one of them charged at her with his spear, sending it in a wide arc at her side, to which she responded by jumping, and while spinning her body in the air, sending a downward kick to his head. Even with a helmet, he fell the full force of the blow, and the others took this as their chance, one coming up with a sword, and another running in with an axe. Leviathan instinctively turned and sent her leg in a sweeping motion, catching both of them, and sending them to the floor. The last one roared out as he charged at her, him being much larger than her, but as he sent his fist to her, she simply moved her head to the side, to which she grabbed it, and flinged him over her. His armor broke as he fell to the floor, and she looked around at the 4 men on the floor. "Maybe I used too much?" She wondered, perhaps thinking she should have hold back.
More to the right, however, she noticed 5 men surrounding yet another figure, and by the outfit and looks, she saw right away it was none other than Christopher. He had a more serious demeanor, his hands raised with his palms open, and with...claws? Indeed. With hsi training, he learned to focus his Cosmo and that allowed him to grow his nails, making them sharper. He looked around at the 5 men, 2 of them charging at him with their blades. He smirked, and dodged one of the blades, slicing past thing one, and catching the other's blade with his own, and twisting it, making the man twirl in the air, to which he jumped, and kicked him down to the floor. As he landed to the floor, he looked behind him to see one of them coming down to a mace to his head, to which he dodged it narrowingly, and sent his knee to the man's gut, making him gasp for breath, and tumble over. The last 2 cracked their fists, and run at him in a joint attack. Christopher closed his eyes, focusing on the sounds, like Shaina told him to...And he dodged both punches flying to him, one for the head, and the other to his chest, and he sent his claws to them, slicing down their armor, and leaving them on the floor grasping their wounds. He stood victorious, and Shaina approached him clapping.
"Not bad at all, my apprentice. You learned much quicker than the others, but that does not mean you will win yet. Keep it up!"
"Yes, ma'am!" He said. He then noticed Leviathan approaching him, to which he turned. "Hey Leviathan. How are you?"
"I am fine, actually, but I am more worried about you..." She said, some concern on her face.
"Bah, I'm fine. I'm just as tough as anyone else!" He said, flexing out, to which Leviathan giggled.
"We can see that for ourselves in the colosseum soon enough, won't we?"
They heard an unfamiliar voice, to which they turned, and gasped in awe: They saw 2 people walking over to them, clad in shining golden armor, it completely identical to eachother. Best of all, the owners also looked alike, but one had light-blue hair, and the other possessed a more purplish color. While one had a more playful demeanor, the other looked ready for combat.
"M-Masters Saga and Kanon!" Shaina said, immediatly nodding."What brings you here?"
'Saga, and...Kanon?...Wait...The Gemini Gold Saints!' Christopher thought, having already heard about them.
"We came to see the new youths in their training, although Saga insisted on staying at the temple" Kanon said, somewhat playing with the situation.
"We are not meant to waste our time in doing this. We should stay at the Palace of Gemini, and assure that nothing befalls Athena" Saga said. Even their voices sounded familiar, which was astonishing, even for twins.
"Well, since we are here, we might as well meet the new hopefuls, wouldn't you agree, Shaina?" Said Kanon, already giving her the hint to introduce them.
"Yes, Master Kanon. This" She said, nudging Christopher" is Christopher, chosen by Lynx, like many others, and I am training him. And this..." She pointed over to Leviathan" is Leviathan, chosen by Hydra, but she trains on her own, I think. Her mentor had to go away, but she does not mind it." As Shaina stopped speaking, both trainees bowed to the Gold Saints, showing their respect.
"I see. Forgive my brother, but he likes to take everything like it was his life's duty. I am Gemini Kanon, and he is-"
"I can introduce myself. Gemini Saga." He said, somewhat unwillingly
"Very well then...It would seem these 2 are quite capable. I look forward to see what you both can do."
"Yes, sir!" Both trainees said.
"Well, I best be going before Saga decides to cut me apart. Watch over them, Shaina"
"Yes, Master Kanon!" She said, and both Gold Saints turned, walking away. "These are just 2 of the 13 warriors that make up Athena's personal guard. 5 of them are heroes to us, that saved us 2 years ago: Sagitarius Seiya, Libra Shiryu, Aquarius Hyoga, Virgo Shun and Leo Ikki! Remember these names!" She said, her voice very serious.
"Yes, ma'am!" Both said.
"Oh, one more thing: The Cloth Trials are in 1 week, so you best prepare." She finished and turned around, going away.
"..Just being around those 2 was dangerous enough...They emanated power, even without trying..."said Leviathan, shivering a bit.
"I know...We better keep training then!" Said a determined Christopher. "But could I ask why you are here, Leviathan?"
She seemed to grow a bit sad, before speaking:"Well, maybe later...I don't feel so sure about it, with some people around me...But if I tell you, you also tell me yours, got it? She said playfully.
"S-Sure...So, how about a training spar?" He said, making some space between them.
"Yes! Don't cry if I beat you! " She said, and both got into battle stances, this time, facing eachother.
Cairo, Egypt
In a dark mansion, there was a golden room filled with thrones, each etched with a name on it. It contained beautiful Egyptian addornings, and various glowing obelisks. Infront of a rather dark-glowing obelisk, stood a shadowed figure with yellow-ish armor, him showing a grin in the darkness.
"Are we ready?..." Said the shadowed figure.
"Yes, master...We are. As soon as you give the order, we cross the sea, and move to attack Olympus...We shall start with Athena, as commanded."
"Excellent...Soon, all shall know the sands never dissapear..." The figure said, before breaking into maniacal laughter.
Back to our 2 heroes...
They both sat in Christopher's room, simply chatting and getting to know eachother well enough. It hadn't been long since Christopher had someone to talk to, but he felt well with Leviathan: She seemed trustworthy, and caring.
"Say, Leviathan..."
"Hm?"
"You still haven't told me why you are here..." He said, to which she somewhat saddened. He noticed this, and spoke: "You don't have to talk about it if yo-"
"No, it's alright...I really need to get it out..." She sighed deeply, before starting. "You see...I never got along with my family...I was always a bit hard to deal with, since I kept going nowhere near them, and they just...make me feel lonely. That gap only grew when I found out I could wield Cosmo: They became doubtful of me..So I decided to become a Saint, and do something that would...get me away from them..." She said, almost bursting into tears
"I see..."He said. He could relate a bit to her: Even before it happened, he felt like the world was filled with lies, something he could not handle well, to which he closed himself. "I can somehow relate, but the reason I am here is another...My father died 5 months ago, and I felt saddened and broken. However, Shaina found me, and for some reason...I feel like both events are connected: She knows something about my father, and I wanna know what." He said, pure determination in his eyes. He looked outside and noticed it was night. "It's getting late, and we got training tomorrow."
"You are right! I should get going!" She said, moving to the door, and opened it slightly before turning to Christopher. "Chris?"
"Yeah?"
"Don't let your father's actions be your own. You have your own life ahead of you..."
He felt amazed at how someone could help him and understand him like that, to which he replied: "If you need help, you can count on me as well, Leviathan".
"Good to know. See yah!" She said, running off to her room and closing his door. Christopher prepared himself for bed, before feeling a big outburst of Cosmo from the south.
'What the...Maybe it was my imagination...' He thought, moving to his bed, and attempt to sleep, trying to get the thought he just got out of his head, and thing it was all his imagination...Oh, how he was wrong...
