SailorStar9: After getting Chapter 17 out, this is Chapter 18 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 19: Tears of Equuleus!? Awakening Two Cloths!


Up top...

"So, this is Pallasvelda." Raki was running through the streets with her backpack full of Stardust Sand. "It's finally time for me to fight with everyone." she then literally ran into Triple Rod Halimede. "What are you doing?" Kiki's apprentice demanded. "You're a Pallasite." she gaped, recognizing the Pallasite in front of her.

"How can a kid like you still be moving around?" Halimede was intrigued. "I stopped the time in this area. You can use teleportation?" he hissed when Raki teleported away from his grasp.

"Don't underestimate me because I'm a kid." Raki snapped. "I am the first apprentice of Aries Kiki-sama, Apprentice Raki."

"Aries Kiki?" Halimede echoed. "That's a Gold Saint. Then, I can't let her go. Now on, shrimp." he snatched the struggling Raki. "I have a lot of questions for you. What?" he gaped when Koga nabbed Raki from his grasp.

"I knew it was you, Raki." Koga remarked.

"I'm here too." Subaru added.

"You Saints are always so proud of weak stuff like brothers and friends." Halimede snorted. "I am the Class-3 Pallasite, Triple Rod Halimede. Titan-sama has given me this new weapon, the Phantom Eater, in order to defeat you. Its power equals that of a Class-2 Pallasite's weapon."

"I'll destroy you and that weapon." Koga swore, being hit back by Halimede after the Class-3 Pallasite knocked Subaru into a wall. "Pegasus Ryu Sei Ken!"

"Now it's my turn." Halimede stated, blocking off the rain of shattered shots. "Destroy them all. Brutal Phantom!" he released the ghastly shade from his new weapon which hit Koga head-on. "I guess your beloved Cloth has reached its limit." he grinned.

"What's wrong, Subaru?" Raki asked, worried. She rested a palm on the blackened Cloth's armguard. "What's this?" she realized the problem. "Your Cloth is crying. This Cloth has a kind heart." she explained. "I'm sure it's sadder than anyone about its owners' deaths. So, it must be afraid to fight. Koga." she instantly teleported over to the battered Koga.

"These displays of love and friendship you all love so much make me sick." Halimede sneered.

"Subaru is trying to persuade his Cloth." Raki blinked, seeing Subaru talk to the Equuleus Cloth, all the while receiving Halimede's pummeling.

Upon receiving its newest wearer's resolve, the Equuleus Cloth finally decided to fight alongside Subaru.

"Brutal Phantom!" Halimede unleashed his attack at Subaru.

Powering up, Subaru nullified the attack with a single punch.

"I'll crush your Cosmo with the scream from this skull." Halimede swore. "Phantom Scream!" he released the more powerful version of the 'Brutal Phantom' at Subaru.

"Shine, my Cosmo." Subaru called out. "Pleiades Tempest!" the single light beam shot through 'Phantom Scream' like an arrow, destroying it and taking out Halimede.

"Anyway Raki, what are you doing here?" Koga asked after the fight.

"I've come to save everyone." Raki smiled, revealing the Stardust Sand in her backpack. "This is Stardust Sand, for repairing Cloths. Kiki-sama told me to bring it here."


Elsewhere...

"There's no end to them." Yuna noted, the others were fighting off the Pallasite foot soldiers.

"This Cosmo..." Haruto sensed several familiar Cosmo in the distance, Kiki, Fudō, and Harbinger crash-landing nearby.

"The Gold Saints have arrived in Pallasvelda." Ryuho was relieved.

"Could it be..." Yuna had also sensed the arrival of Saori. "Athena."
