When evil gods invade the Earth,
the warriors known as Saints always appear.
A new legend of the young Saints begins now!
The battleground moves to Mars.
During the fight against the Pisces Gold Saint, Amor,
Koga is finally reunited with Saori.
But he is then possessed by the god of darkness, Abzu.
With his overwhelming power, Abzu easily defeats Amor,
and then uses Koga to attack the rest of the group, as well.
As he marches toward Athena, Eden stands in his way.
The Ruler of Darkness! The Terror of Abzu!
The Ruler of Darkness.
The Terror of Abzu.
To protect the Earth that Aria loved...
That was Pegasus's wish.
And that is why I will defeat you!
Pegasus would want that.
Athena...
What's wrong?
You'll have to go through me!
Tonitrui Saltare!
Tonitrus Feracalos
Wh-What was that?
Corruption?
Eden...
You are a fool to believe you can defeat Abzu.
If...
If that is corruption, I have to go.
Wait, Yuna.
But it means that if he burns his Cosmo, he'll die!
Eden is looking for a chance...
He's risking his life, drawing Koga away from Athena and us,
to use his ultimate attack.
If we go, we'll get in his way.
His ultimate attack?
But what will happen to Koga?
To be honest, I don't know...
They are Saints.
Both Eden and Koga-kun are Saints that protect Athena...
To protect that beautiful world.
That was
what Aria wished for.
And to do that, I need Athena's power.
Even if it means I must fight a god...
I will not lose!
I won't let you lay a finger on Athena!
This is the end.
Roar, my Cosmo!
Orion's Devastation!
Begone.
Athena...
E-Eden...
He disappeared?
The power of darkness on Mars is increasing...
The pillar of light won't last much longer!
What the heck is happening up there, on Mars?!
What is this place?
The darkness Cosmo of Pegasus.
It is amazing...
Abzu's darkness grows so strong.
Mother?
What happened to me?
I brought you here...
Before Abzu could kill you.
I must go...
Abzu's power is vast.
You cannot defeat him as you are.
I have to go.
Let me finish...
You needn't fear his power,
so long as you have the staff.
The staff?
Aria's staff?
The power of that staff
extends beyond simply siphoning Earth's Cosmo.
With the power of its light,
you could restrain even Abzu's power.
Abzu will slay Athena very soon.
And then,
you will use Abzu's dark power to create a new order for this world.
And you will be ruler of that new world.
That's right...
I still... I still have Aria's power!
Using Aria's power of light,
perhaps I can lift Abzu's darkness from Pegasus.
Eden...
What are you saying?
Mother...
Let us end this.
Mother, give me the staff.
And should I refuse?
No... Not after all I've done!
Koga...
That isn't Koga anymore.
No...
But whether it is or not, stopping him is our job!
Because we are his friends.
And because we are the ones who protect Athena...
The Saints.
We will protect the world that Athena and Aria cherished!
That is what Eden wants.
And above all,
what Koga wants!
No, Eden...
In just a few moments, the rule of darkness will be complete.
I don't want a world like that!
Very well, then.
I shall not let you have this staff,
not when darkness's victory is at hand.
Never!
Mother!
Lionet
Explosion!
Soma!
Rozan Hyaku Ryu Ha!
Ryuho!
Hakurouken:
Toga Shissou!
Haruto...
Koga!
I'll...
I'll stop...
you—
I never expected you would truly fight me.
Do you not remember the greatness...
The kindness of the darkness?
The nights as a child, asleep in my arms...
Darkness, the only thing protecting us
from the light that burns all.
Only the darkness will bring us salvation.
I don't want a world ruled by darkness!
I can't move...
You will not be able to move for a while.
Stop struggling, and rest...
Until the new world is created.
Please stop it, Koga!
I cannot let you through.
At this rate, the balance of Cosmo on Earth will completely collapse!
Is even the power of four Gold Saints not enough?
Aria...
Eden,
why will you not understand my feelings?
Aria,
my sister,
my father...
People I cared for lost their lives.
If only I had begun earlier
to protect those I cared for, to walk my own path...
Perhaps I could have saved them!
Mother,
I will protect that beautiful world.
That is my wish!
Let me have Aria's staff.
I shall not.
Stay there a while longer.
The creation of the new world is upon us.
Mother!
The shining world loved by my sister, Aria, and my father who was human...
Protect it!
I shall not!
I despise Athena's shining world.
Mother...
Orion's Devastation!
How ironic.
Aria saved me.
I never should have let you near Aria.
Why did I not foster the darkness in you?
I...
At this rate...
That is...
Abzu...
Return...
...to the world of darkness!
What's this?
He's chasing Abzu out of Koga's body?
M-Mother?
Live strong,
Eden...
Eden!
Now you're all that's left, Athena.
