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!
Saint Koga's search for Athena continues.
The party destroys the Thunder Ruins Core,
but are absorbed by a strange darkness from below.
Within a room marked "Regret and Atonement,"
Ryuho, Yuna, and Haruto each face their own pasts.
When they decide, in their hearts, to turn regret into a desire for the future,
and atonement into the desire to advance,
a new door opens to them.
Young men, let the Cosmo in your hearts burn!
Remembrance and Revenge! The Trap of the Darkness Ruins!
Remembrance and Revenge.
The Trap of the Darkness Ruins.
Where am I?
That's right...
I was sucked in by the darkness at the thunder ruins.
Light?
What is...
This place?
Why are you just standing there?
Come in.
I-I'm terribly sorry...
Medea.
Mother...
Has Father said anything?
Mars-sama is still recovering on Mars.
We've had no word from him.
I see.
I can't believe they could wound one as powerful as Father so deeply.
How strong must Pegasus Seiya...
No, the Saints as a whole, be?
Their power rivals our own,
and they still oppose Father.
Sonia...
During Mars-sama's absence, I have been placed in charge.
I cannot easily leave this place.
And so, I have a request for you.
Yes?
I'd like you to go and defeat the man
who leads the Saints opposing Mars-sama,
Southern Cross Kazuma.
You're old enough now to start working for Mars-sama.
The Marsians have been waiting for this.
I am still too inexperienced for such a great task.
Although we are not related by blood,
I have lived with you and raised you since you were young.
I am well aware of your power.
You are more than capable of succeeding.
Mars-sama is expecting great things.
Yes, ma'am.
I will defeat a Saint...
With my own hands.
Eden?
Sister, are you training?
You shouldn't stand behind a Marsian, Eden.
You could be killed.
I'm sorry.
I said something, but you didn't notice.
Are you going to see Aria, Eden?
Mother said there's nothing wrong with being friendly toward Aria.
But there is with being too friendly.
I'm not...
Sister?
What's wrong?
Are you not feeling well?
It isn't that.
I understand.
Normally, your Cosmo is so firm, but now it seems to be wavering.
You're imagining it.
I'm sorry.
Go on...
The flowers will wilt.
Yes.
Eden...
I'll be away for a few days,
so we'll have to take a break from training.
You're going away?
To where?
It's best that you not know.
What?
Am I dreaming?
Dad!
I can't believe it.
They say the forces of darkness are actually persuading some Saints!
The rumors claim those guys in the red and black armor are behind
the recent disappearances at the Palaestra, too.
Kazuma, shouldn't we do something about them?
At this rate, the bonds between the Saints will be torn asunder.
If you're going to do something, we'll help...
Calm down, you two.
We can't do anything major at the moment.
We should await the right time.
We cannot rush.
We must learn more about who they are.
This is...
If you say so.
If you think so, that must be right, Kazuma.
Dad!
Let's eat dinner.
Yeah, I'll be there soon.
Your son?
Yup, this is Soma.
Hi, there. Are you guys Saints?
Yup, we're Silver Saints.
I'll be a Saint soon!
I'm going to fight for Athena!
Really?
Do your best!
See you, Kazuma.
Bye.
Am I seeing the past?
Wait! I remember this...
This is the day...
We're having chicken and tomato stew today!
Let's go eat.
Oh, that sounds delicious.
Don't... Dad!
What's wrong?
I'm going out for a bit.
What?
You aren't having the tomato stew?
I'll be back soon.
Okay!
I'll be waiting.
No, don't go...
Dad.
No!
Don't go!
Isn't today the day?
The day you died?
Hey, go and follow your dad!
Or else, he'll...
Damn it!
Dad!
Why don't you come out?
You're here for me, right?
A child?
Are you the one who's been
watching me since this morning?
Southern Cross Kazuma.
Correct?
Yes.
I am Sonia.
You are one of the Saints that oppose Mars-sama.
And I will defeat you!
What's this?
If you'll agree to serve Mars-sama, I will not harm you.
I can't do that.
Wh-Where is he?
I can't fight a child.
Wh-What?
I dislike this Mars guy more than ever,
if he'd make a kid like you fight.
Why are you fighting?
You still don't know, do you?
Sh-Shut up!
Leave.
Your fists are to protect those you care for.
Those I care for?
Mars-sama is expecting great things.
Normally, your Cosmo is so firm, but now it seems to be wavering.
Dad?
That's...
impossible...
Dad!
Well done, Sonia.
I knew you could do it.
Come here.
Yes, ma'am.
I am so proud of you...
I always have been,
ever since I met you as a child.
I'm a bit tired.
May I return to my room?
Of course...
Go and rest, Sonia.
Why did I...
Sonia.
Father!
I'm told you fought a Saint, Sonia.
Yes.
What did you think while you fought?
You hesitated, did you not?
No!
My daughter...
Eden's sister.
You should understand why I seek
to create a new world.
Why would you hesitate?
I'm terribly sorry.
This will not happen next time...
You think there will be a next time?
I have no use for someone with such a weak will.
Father!
Don't call me "Father"!
Father!
Mars-sama, please forgive me.
I'll never hesitate again...
I'll defeat as many Saints as you want me to!
So...
I do not think I can believe you.
Begone!
I have no need of you, and neither does my plan.
Mars-sama!
You're...
What are you doing?
What you're seeing is an illusion!
An illusion?
This is an illusion that reflects what's in your heart!
Hurry and get back up here!
You, imprisoned by love and hate...
I shall tear you in two!
Hurry!
Let me go!
Is this really the time to say that?
Why?
Why would you save me?
Because I need my revenge.
It must be the son of Southern Cross Kazuma,
Lionet Soma, who finishes you.
I won't let you die here!
Run!
I won't let you escape!
You're a fake, but those attacks still hurt!
Get back!
Lionet Burning Fire!
Leave...
No illusion from the past will ever affect me again!
Where are we?
The darkness ruins.
It says "Room of Love and Hate."
I want to ask you something.
Why did you take my dad's Cloth Stone?
After you killed him, you were suffering.
Why?
Shut up!
I wasn't suffering.
I won't thank you.
You'll soon regret your naïveté,
Lionet Soma!
Dad...
I...
This is the darkness ruins?
Soma,
you're safe!
Yep.
Where are Koga and Aria?
Oh...
But I'm sure they're around here somewhere.
Yeah.
Where am I?
What is this?
Eden,
you always gave me flowers, right?
But did you ever ask me
what it was I really wanted?
You said it was all to create a world without sadness...
You said it was all for me and my happiness.
You always averted your eyes from my sadness!
You just used me...
So that Mother and Father would like you.
Now, fall into the pit of Hell, transfixed by your sin,
trapped by eternal darkness.
Where am I?
Are you the one with the light Cosmo?
The light that escaped the shadow of darkness?
Why?
You should have kept shining softly in the darkness.
Why try to escape the darkness and shine more brightly?
Disgusting.
Your light is disgusting.
If you didn't exist,
the world could have spent its days in quiet darkness.
Face your sin and be punished,
here in the darkness ruins.
Where am I?
For some reason, I feel calm.
Yes, this is the place where you belong.
Saori-san?
Ask your Cosmo, Koga.
My Cosmo?
My...
Th-This can't be...
No...
My Cosmo can't be...
Indeed.
Your true Cosmo is...
Darkness.
No!
