When evil threatens the world,
the warriors of hope will always appear.
Garbed in Cloths of the constellations,
they fight by exploding the energy within them:
their Cosmo.
They are the warriors who
protect the love and peace of the world...
The Saints!
Saori-san!
Koga,
you must follow your own path.
Open the way for yourself.
Saori-san!
Koga... Koga!
Are you okay, Koga?
Shina-san.
I...
Saori-san!
So it seems that strike was mere luck.
You think to attack me with such a feeble Cosmo? Ha!
Koga...
Stop...
Anger ill reflects your Cosmo.
Stop resisting, and vanish into the darkness!
Koga...
Saori-san...
My objective has been completed.
Athena no longer exists!
It is done.
Shina-san, I couldn't do anything...
Koga...
It's not your fault.
It's not...
Shina-san...
Shina-san!
I...
My...
The Journey Begins! A New Generation of Saints!
I see...
Then, you're going.
Yeah.
I believe Saori-san is alive.
So...
Koga.
The Cloth Stone will lead you.
The Cloth Stone?
You have been chosen by Seiya's Cloth,
the Cloth of Pegasus.
Do not return until you've achieved your goal.
Yeah! I promise.
I'll defeat Mars, and I'll bring Saori-san back for sure.
Bye, old man.
Look after things.
You don't need to tell me.
Now, go...
You don't have the time to be standing around!
See you, then.
See you.
Well, then.
Where to start?
That's a Cloth Stone...
So you're a Saint, too?
Show it to me.
Wh-Who are you?
When did you take that?
Give it back!
Come on... It's not like you don't have more.
I don't! And you'll get it dirty!
Come on! Take it if you can...
Damn it!
Stop screwing around!
You know, private fights between Saints are forbidden...
But we can forget about that here!
Well, then...
Let's go, country boy.
Stop making fun of me!
I take back what I said.
You're no Saint.
You're just some kid with a Cloth.
What?
I am a Saint!
I'm Athena's...
Saori-san's Saint!
Why, you...
Oh, whoops...
Hey! You okay?
Hello?
Yo, sorry about that...
I lost my temper.
You okay?
I'll just make you some coffee...
That...
What was that?
A magic trick?
Hey, are you serious?
Have you really done any training?
I have.
I guess...
Fine, fine. I'll tell you.
You know what Cosmo is, right?
Of course.
Excellent!
There are different elements of Cosmo.
One of them is flame, like this.
And the others are wind, lightning, earth,
water, darkness, and light. In total, there are seven.
And each of us Saints carry one of those elements in our bodies.
Then can I make fire like that, too?
Depends on your element.
I see...
Then how do we use our elements?
How?
I'm actually not that good at it myself...
Did you say something?
No, nothing.
Hmm...
Start by spreading your consciousness throughout your entire body.
Sharpen your senses till you can feel every single one of your cells.
And then focus that expanded consciousness on a single point...
And make it explode!
Like this, see?
You're amazing!
I have a name, you know.
My name's Soma.
Lionet Soma.
What about you?
I'm Koga.
What's your Guardian Constellation?
Guardian Constellation?
Come on!
Just like I'm Lionet,
you should have a Guardian Constellation, too.
Pegasus...
Did you say Pegasus?!
Then, do you have some relation
to the legendary Pegasus Seiya?
You know Seiya?
Well, I never met him...
But every Saint knows his name.
I heard he's missing now.
Missing?
He isn't dead?
What is this? It's bitter...
Of course. It's coffee.
Why would Mars-sama send me after these two weaklings?
Right, then.
Let's go.
Why were you here, anyway?
Me? I'm on an errand for the Palaestra.
Palaestra?
Oh, do you know what happened around here?
A few days ago, there was a huge Cosmo explosion.
Do you know anything about it?
Saori-san was...
Athena was kidnapped...
Athena was kidnapped?!
Sorry, but I don't believe you.
What? You think I'm lying?
No, that's not what I mean.
Then, what do you mean?
Hmm...
I suppose you could say
it's because I know where Athena is.
Wh-What?
You know where Athena is?
Where?
Where is she?
What's gotten into you?
Where is Athena?
Tell me!
Okay! I will, so calm down!
Jeez...
Well, I suppose I could tell you, but...
Why? Why? Why?
Why do I have to do this?
You wanted to know where Athena is, right?
So, no complaints.
That's not it...
You've gotta be kidding me.
I did that whole big send-off.
If the old man sees me...
Investigation complete!
Shall we get going?
Where are we going now?
The Palaestra.
If you go there,
you should learn something about Athena.
The Palaestra, huh?
Hey! You said you knew where she was.
Don't sweat the details...
Athena founded that place.
So even if I don't know, someone will.
Well, it's your decision.
I don't care...
Fine.
Darn it...
Okay! Then it's decided!
Just to warn you, it's a bit of a hike.
I don't care.
I'd go to the ends of the Earth if Athena were there.
Hey, what is this Palae-whatever?
Palaestra.
You could say it's a school for Saints.
You learn how to be a Saint there.
How long have you been training?
I really started when I got to the Palaestra.
What about you?
I...
I never really did seriously.
Well, it's not the kind of thing someone can force on you.
Why did you decide to become a Saint?
Me?
I...
Who's there?!
I've been near you this whole time.
Guess you finally noticed...
Where are you?
Stop hiding, and show yourself!
So you can talk big, at least...
Though I don't believe you can back it up.
Are you one of them?!
What are you talking about?
I am a servant of Mars-sama, member of the Marsian scouting unit,
Mantis Ordukia!
There's no need for Mars-sama
to deal with such weaklings as yourselves.
I shall slaughter you myself.
Lionet Cloth!
That's the Lionet Cloth?
Soma!
What's wrong, weaklings?
Come at me, both of you.
Damn it...
Don't try to fight him!
He's...
He's my prey!
Don't be stupid!
If he's working for Mars, he's my enemy, too!
What?
I can't move...
I told you!
If you can't burn your Cosmo, then stay out of this!
Don't be stupid!
I can...
You can do what?
Soma...
I told you to stay back, damn it...
So, the make-believe friends are going to perish together?
Shut up!
If nothing else, you do have guts.
Then I shall get serious, too.
Dark Mist!
What is this fog?
This is the power of the Marsians.
Now that I have become one with the darkness,
I shall slowly torture you to death...
Damn it all!
You're wasting your time.
Punch the air all you like.
You'll never hit me.
So this is a darkness element?
Then I'll disperse this fog with my flame!
Flames!
What?
My flames won't respond!
I can't concentrate hard enough?
What's wrong?
What happened to all that talk?
I don't want to be that way anymore.
Just lying there unable to do anything...
I don't want that anymore!
Well?
You cannot touch my element of darkness!
Element...
I'll give it a try!
Start by spreading your consciousness throughout your entire body.
Sharpen your senses till you can feel every single one of your cells.
And then focus that expanded consciousness on a single point...
And make it explode!
My name is Koga...
Pegasus Koga!
So bright!
What is this light?
This is a light element?
That's it, for sure.
Pegasus...
His element is light!
Impossible!
A child who can't even make his
Cosmo burn is controlling a light element?!
Now, Soma!
Flame Desperado!
Seriously?
I did it!
Wait!
Then again, it's not like I actually had the upper hand...
But what's with this guy?
I take back what I said again.
Now get up, Pegasus Koga.
Yeah, thanks...
Lionet Soma.
I can't believe I lost to those kids...
Who's there?
A light element...
Pegasus Koga, huh?
It's on the other side of that...
Over there?
Yeah, the Palaestra.
Saori-san...
I've made up my mind.
I will become stronger...
And then, I will bring you back!
Wait for me, Saori-san!
