SailorStar9: After getting Chapter 5 out, this is Chapter 6 of this fic. (Sighs) Guys and girls, is it too hard for you to leave a review, instead of just putting this fic up on your favorited list and story alerts?

Disclaimers: I own nothing, except for the plot bunny and my OC.

Chapter 6: Andromeda Shun Joins the Fight

"It's safe here." Shun beamed, having led Souma and his group back into the hideout. "You can rest."

"Thank you very much." Yuna smiled.

"So you can wear your Cloth now?" Ryuho wondered.

"Yes, thanks to you." Shun nodded. "However, the Pallasites have frozen time for most of the villagers. Even with my Cloth, I wasn't strong enough to stop them. I'm just hiding here with the ones that remain."

"Get out of here!" Ray snapped. "Even with your Cloth, you couldn't help us. We don't need you!"

"Ray…" Shun muttered.

"Hey, don't you know," Souma retorted. "That Shun is a legendary Saint, who has saved Earth many times?"

"Then why couldn't he save my brother?" Ray demanded.

"That boy…" Yuna started, Ray running out.

"Ray is his name." Ami started.

"There is a reason he doesn't like me." Shun added.

"Back when the Pallasites attacked the village, Halimede followed his brother and him after they escaped." Ami explained.

"As a Saint, I failed to protect Ray's brother." Shun admitted. "That's why Ray hates me. His brother was his only family. I know how painful it is. I, too, had a brother."

"Phoenix Ikki." Ami added. "Yosh, yosh, Sumi." She rocked the infant in her arms.

"Feeding time?" Shun smiled knowingly at his daughter.

"A baby?" Ryuho was surprised. "When did that happen?"

"Well, Ryuho," Ami grinned mischievously. "When a man and a woman love each other every much…"

"We get the picture … We do not want details, thank you very much." Ryuho blanched, before Ami went into the more intimate details.

"Ames, they're still children." Shun chuckled.

"I know." Ami grinned.

"Shun…" Yuna muttered, having been thrown off by Halimede's tornado, the Andromeda Cloth Stone burning brightly.

"You idiot." Halimede smirked. "There's nothing left of you. What?" he suddenly realized the donut-shaped necklace was missing. "The Cloth Stone's missing…"

"This is the new Andromeda Cloth?" Shun blinked, his new armor fending off the attack. "I don't want to hurt anyone." He added, donning on his new Cloth. "But if you are going to hurt more people, I shall force myself. You used Ray's feelings; I'll make you pay for that."

"Don't lecture me!" Halimede snapped.

"Nebula Chain!" Shun released his attack.

"But you still can't restart time." The defeated Halimede muttered and vanished.

"I'm so glad…" Yuna smiled. "Shun defeated Halimede."

"Yuna, are you okay?" Ami asked arriving at the battlefield with Ryuho and Souma in tow.

"But what is this?" Ryuho gaped.

"You two are late." Yuna scolded. "How long are you going to sleep?"

"But no one woke me up." Souma defended.

"But I'm glad everything's okay." Yuna nodded.

"I'm sorry." Ray apologized. "For not being able to believe in you."

"It's okay' Ray." Shun assured. "The courage within you gave me the power to defeat Halimede."

"Shun's right." Ami agreed. "True happiness isn't something achieved from sacrificing others. It comes from protecting them."

"I will bring back your brother." Shun promised. "And until then, I'll protect this village. Even when we're apart, we Saints are connected." He watched as the three younger Bronze Saints headed off. "Let us meet again, young Saints."

"You let Halimede escape again, didn't you?" Ami trained a look at her husband. "It's times like this that makes me wonder why I married you in the first place." She sighed, Shun giving her a sheepish smile.
