SailorStar9: After getting Chapter 20 out, this is Chapter 21 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 22: Move Time! Athena's Saints Gather!
Outside the plaza in front of Pallas' Castle...
"How does it look, Koga?" Subaru asked, the Pegasus Saint having returned from scouting.
"No good." Koga replied. "Pallasites everywhere."
"The problem is that most of them have Cosmo almost the equal to that of a Class-3 Pallasite." Eden pointed out.
"No matter how strong they are, I'm too awesome to be hiding behind rocks here." Subaru snarled. "No one can stop me. What?" he gaped when a burst of light shot down at the Pallasites guarding the castle.
"We'll help them." Koga led the charge.
"I'm sorry I'm late, Koga." Ryuho apologized, joining the frenzy. "Athena is on her way. I've come to tell you that."
"Then, we must clear the path to Pallas' castle, no matter what." Koga decided.
"So, now you're going crazy, too?" Subaru rebuked.
"It's fine." Ryuho assured. "I'm not here alone."
"The weaklings are weak." Ikki snorted, blasting off the enemies in front of him. "No matter your numbers, that will never change. Koga, go. I can handle all of them myself. You girls," he turned to the Goddess Guardians. "With me. Who wants to go to hell first?" he roared at the gathered Pallasites.
Taking advantage of the distraction, the Bronze Saints, with Subaru in tow, headed straight for Pallas' Castle.
After a tenacious battle, with Koga time-frozen in front of the Gate of Time and the other Bronze Saints cornered, Mira was certain they had this war won when seven powerful Cosmo joined the frontline.
"Led by the Cosmo of the young Saints, I have returned to the battlefield." Hyoga declared, with Juno with him. "My name is Cyrus Hyoga."
"Who are you?" one of the Pallasites around Ryuho and Haruto demanded.
"Remember this." Shiryu stated, fighting off the attacking Pallasites barehanded. "My name is Shiryu."
"Father, here!" Ryuho tossed the Libra Cloth Stone to his father.
"The Libra Cloth." Shiryu caught the Stone and donned on the Gold Cloth. "Genbu, I shall carry on your will."
"Withdraw." Shun warned, having arrived with Ikki, Vesta and Ceres at Subaru's spot. "I have no wish to hurt anyone."
"You should do as he says." Ikki agreed. "The three of us won't hold back like he will."
"My Pallasite army, wiped out in a mere instant?" Mira was stunned at the Legendary Saints' prowess. "It appears I must treat this as a serious threat."
"Lower your fists." Saori announced. "With the Cosmo of the Saints gathered here, I shall open the Gate of Time.
"Looks like I have to fall back." Mira hissed and retreated.
"Saints of Athena." Saori ignited her Cosmo. "Now is the time to combine your powers and destroy the Gate of Time."
"Everyone, unleash your Cosmo." Seiya barked.
At his command, everyone sent out rainbow-colored Cosmo ripples, channeling them to Koga.
"Pegasus, take my Cosmo." Eden's burst of power freed Koga from his stone prison.
Gathering everyone's power, Koga smashed through the Gate of Time with a punch.
