A few weeks later...
"Come on you guys-I'm not that strong!" Lucria teased as she ran away from the four boys.
"Yeah right, your cosmos is stronger than we guessed!" Hyoga said as he stopped to take a breather.
"Seiya-get her!" Shiryu said as he and Seiya teamed up on Lucria dodged the two from being tackled.
"Come you guys!" Lucria taunted as she ran behind the statue. Her cosmos was becoming more noticable as she held her hands together.
Shun hopped over the statue and grabbed Lucria by the arm. "Found you!" he shouted notifying the others.
"God Shun!" Lucria said trying to get free. The girl sent a shock of cosmos through both of their bodies and Shun quickly released Lucria.
"Your cosmos...it's-" Shun was surprised.
"I'm sorry-I must've gotten carried away. My cosmos is dangerous so I might hurt you with out doing anything." Lucria warned.
"No, it didn't hurt. I swear." Shun said waving his hands in front of him.
Ikki walked in glaring at Lucria calmly, "So you are the princess everyone has been talking about? That is a relief."
Lucria backed into Shun nervously and shook her head, "Yeah, you're right. What you said about the Pope changing all these laws. What has he been doing?"
"Pope Ares has sent the silver knights to come and kill us including Athena! I don't know if you are involved with this but I won't let you hurt anyone." Ikki said angrily.
"No! It's not true! I know the Pope wouldn't do it. He isn't like that at all!" Lucria shouted almost about to be in tears. "Pope Ares-he wouldn't do such a thing that terrible." Lucria said dashing through the courtyard.
"Brother! You shouldn't upset her!" Shun said running after Lucria. Seiya, Shiryu, Hyoga, and Princess Sienna approached Ikki.
"Ikki, Lucria is the Pope's wife." Princess Sienna explained. "Lucria has been close with him ever since she was a child. Hearing those dreadful words could cause her pain easily."
"You told her didn't you?" Shiryu questioned.
"You know it wasn't right exposing the truth. Lucria is a good person. We can't lose her." Hyoga said.
Ikki turned away ignoring the two boys. "I just don't trust her that's all." he said through clenched teeth.
"...Ikki, you shouldn't hold a grudge against Lucria." Seiya said angrily. "She didn't do anything to you."
In the guest room, Lucria was packing her suitcase silently. "Princess Lucria...?" Shun came in quietly. "I'm sorry that Ikki said those things. He isn't really mean at all." he said kindly.
Lucria was crying softly as she hugged Shun, "...No, I must go home to stop this crazy shit that the Pope is causing. It is my duty as Ceres anyway."
Shun closed his eyes and held Lucria gently, "You are a goddess. I won't let you go on your own. There is danger lurking. I'll tell Princess Sienna that I am going with you."
Princess Sienna came in the room, "I am going too. I won't let you go alone because the Pope may have sent more of his minions after us."
The four boys behind her agreed. Ikki approached Lucria. "Look, I don't know whether I should trust you or not but I won't let Athena or you get hurt. The guys tell me that you can stop the Pope and I guess I will have to believe that so let's go." he said nodding.
Lucria lifted her head from Shun's chest and took a step closer to Ikki slapping him in the face, "Look here, I am not trying to kill anyone. You gotta protect me even though I trust you as a knight. I know the gold knights and I will do my best to make sure that the Pope stops. Got it?"
Everyone stared at Ikki as Lucria placed her hands on her hips. "Oh crud..." Seiya thought almost laughing.
"Did she just slap him?" Shiryu thought surprised.
"Woah...this Princess has Ikki trained like a dog." Hyoga thought looking away.
"Got it." Ikki sighed.
"Now then. Shall we get going?" Lucria asked smiling.
Arriving to Greece was simple, getting through the sanctuary alive was difficult. "Look, I can get Athena to the Pope through my secret passage but you guys must do something about the gold knights. I can sense that their cosmos is screwed up. The Pope has done something and I am going to stop him but you guys must fight them." Lucria said forming a plan.
"You are going to be fine with out us?" Shun questioned worried about the two girls safety.
"Yeah. Don't worry I can fight. I'll protect Athena as a thank you." Lucria said cheerfully. Everyone separated and went their own ways.
Entering the chambers, Lucria looked around the great hall and spotted everything was clear. "Come on. He might be in the main room." Lucria said signalling Princess Sienna.
The two girls headed through the halls with out any trouble until someone grabbed Lucria by the neck. "Ugh!" she made a sound as the hand had a tighter grip on her neck.
"Lucria!" Princess Sienna screamed as the figure holding Lucria by the neck.
"Ceres...help me. Please!" Lucria thought as she was about to pass out. Lucria's cosmos forced its way through the figure's body as it dropped Lucria to the floor.
Princess Sienna ran to Lucria's side and helped her stand. "Who are you?"
"...Give me the girl." he said as he glared at Princess Sienna evilly. His hair was grey and his eyes were bloodshot red.
