Chapter 6
Camus couldn't believe it. He rose from the floor and said:
- You will get her only over my dead body!
The other Saints, amazed by his strength rose too and started to attack again. Meanwhile Jane said to Saori:
- Athena-sama, let me fight!
- Jane, you can't…
- Please!
- Very well.
Jane started to burn her cosmo, all of the Saints and Gods stopped fighting and watched amazed as a Cloth made of ice started to appear in Jane's body. Her Cloth was similar to the Aquarius Gold Cloth; it covered most of her body, she had high heel boots and a tiara on her head; her hair was in a ponytail. Seeing this Poseidon said:
- It's her! So you are here after all! The most powerful female Saint! The one that doesn't need a Cloth! The one that is connected to all of the Aquarius Gold Saints that existed! The Nemesis! The Queen of the ice Saints! So many names that can describe you, but…
Before he could finish 9 shooting stars appeared in the sky, and all of them could sense 9 cosmos approaching, most of them known to the Bronze Saints. Then, shocking Athena, the Bronze Saints and some of the Gold Saints, 9 man appeared and they started to recognize 8 of them as the "Odin's God Warriors" defeated by the Bronze Saints in Asgard: Dubhe Alpha Siegfried; Merak Beta Hagen; Phecda Gamma Thor; Megrez Delta Alberich; Alioth Epsilon Fenrir; Mizar Zeta Syd; Alcor Zeta Bud and Benetnasch Eta Mime. And then the 9th man became clearer, it was Kraken Isaac, the General of the Arctic Sea; one of the Poseidon Marines, Camus' student and Hyoga's childhood friend. All of them wore the same Cloth they did before, but now they were white. Poseidon was perplexed by seeing one of his generals standing there. They ignored all the other people that were staring at them, kneeled in front of Jane and Isaac spoke up:
- My Lady, we are here as you requested. What are your orders?
- First tell me something, are all of you happy now?
- Yes, we are my Lady. We are forever grateful to you for bringing us to life again.
- You don't have to thank me. The ten of you are my soldiers; it was my duty to bring you back. But where is…
- Our general stayed in Siberia, my Lady.
- Very well. Thor?
Thor got closer and said:
- Yes, my Lady?
- Protect Athena-sama.
- As you wish my Lady.
- Isaac, please fight beside me.
- It will be my pleasure.
- The rest of you, don't let anything happen to the other Saints.
All of them spoke at the same time:
- Yes, my Lady.
Suddenly Seiya asked the God warriors:
- What are you doing here?
And it was Siegfried that answered:
- We are here doing our duty. As you are protecting Athena-sama, we are protecting our Lady.
- But Asgard…
- Now we are the protectors of our Lady, Jane-sama. We needed to die in Asgard, in our captain's case in Atlantis, and in our general's in Siberia so that on the day when our Lady requested for our presence we would raise as "The Ice Army"!
It was Hyoga's turn to ask:
- Who is your general?
This time, Isaac answered.
- Oh, you know him Hyoga! After all you killed him!
- Me? Who is it?
- Our teacher, Crystal Saint!
This shocked even more the other Saints, especially Camus and Hyoga. But Isaac continued:
- You know, all the warriors that are related to ice make part of "The Ice Army". Only you and our grandmaster Camus aren't, because you already serve Athena-sama. But, if Master Camus hadn't been revived by Athena-sama he would be part of the army; and he would be in a higher rank that the Crystal Saint. He would be at the same level as our Lady.
When he finished talking he looked at Camus and said:
- Master, she is our Queen, and not even Athena can give us orders or surpass hers. If you were in the army you would be our King.
He went away, leaving Camus stunned. Then before anything else Artemis said:
- So, you are the Nemesis? You don't look that strong to me!
Jane didn't answer, but Mime said angrily:
- Don't underestimate our Lady's power! She can kill you without thinking twice! She…
- Mime, that's enough. I appreciate your efforts but they aren't necessary.
- Very well my Lady.
Then Athena asked Isaac:
- All of you are so dedicated to her, aren't you?
- Yes, we are Athena-sama. We…
Then all of them said at the same time:
- We'll protect Jane-sama with our lives!
Athena was surprised by their reaction, but before she could talk, Jane got closer to her and kneeled, followed by her warriors.
- Athena-sama, the other Saints are wounded and tired. Please let my warriors and I take care of this.
- Jane, I don't know…
- I understand if you don't trust me, but I assure you that I'm your Saint! And that I'll do everything I can to protect you!
- Very well, but be careful.
- I will. Thank you, Athena-sama.
Jane and her army got up, Thor went beside Athena, the others positioned themselves beside the other Saints and Isaac was beside Jane.
- Isaac, I…
- Jane-sama, please let me take care of Poseidon and Hades.
- No, Isaac. You may fight Poseidon and Apollo.
- But my Lady, Hades…
- I know, and that's why I'm saying this. You can't die! I need you!
She looked at him and smiled, making Camus a little jealous. Isaac was speechless for a second.
- As you wish my Lady. But please be careful!
- I will. But you have to be too.
- I will.
- Great, now…
Before she could continue Siegfried went beside her.
- My Lady, please let me assist you.
- Siegfried, I appreciate the offer, but I need you beside the other Saints.
- But my Lady, even if you are strong it's still dangerous.
- I know. But please trust me.
- I do Jane-sama.
- I'm glad. Now let's go Isaac.
- Yes my Lady.
They started to walk in the direction of the Gods. Isaac started to burn his cosmo, and Hyoga noticed that it was even more powerful that it had been before. With four of his "Aurora Borealis" Isaac defeated Apollo and Poseidon, surprising all the Saints and even Athena. Then it was Jane that started to burn her cosmo. She whispered:
- Deadly Ice!
And a solid ball of ice appeared in her hand; she crushed it and blew it in the direction of Artemis. When she saw this, Artemis laughed and said:
- Is this the best you…
But she couldn't finish, she was being frozen inside out. Then suddenly she screamed in agony and died. Camus was looking at Jane stunned by how easy it seemed for her to kill a Goddess. But it really wasn't and her warriors knew that. She was weak because of the cosmo she used to produce that attack. Unfortunately, neither one of her warriors was strong enough to fight Hades and survive. Isaac had spent all of his strength fighting the two Gods, and was in no position of helping Jane. So telepathically he asked Camus:
- Master, I have a favour to ask you.
- What is it Isaac?
- Please help Jane-sama, with her fight with against Hades.
- Why do you think she needs help?
- Because even if it doesn't seem like it, her last attack was powerful, and she's weak! Neither of us is strong enough to fight Hades. If I do another attack, I'll die. And I'm sure that my attack wouldn't do anything to him! Please master! If you love her, and want her to live, help her! If you don't do it she will die!
- Very well! Don't worry!
- Thank you.
Camus observed Jane carefully and realized that her cosmo had decreased in strength. She was nearly collapsing, but was standing strong, without letting showing any sign of weakness. Then she burned her cosmo to the maximum and started to run in Hades' direction, screaming her next attack:
- FREEZING…
But before she could finish, she heard Camus screaming:
- AURORA EXECUTION!
She got out of the way and saw a surprised Hades being hit by the attack. She also saw Hades preparing to attack Camus.
