This is point AR-35.
Area 78!
Anyone, come in!
It's no good.
I can't get any base to respond.
Is the comms system broken?
Or did what happened here also happen at the other bases?
What's going on?
I don't know.
It's like time itself has stopped.
That's right!
We Pallasites have stopped time for you humans.
You two are the only ones who can still move.
For normal humans, you have strong Cosmo.
C-Cosmo?
You don't need to understand...
Because your time ends now.
Stopping time?
That's a fun idea.
Pallasites, was it?
Who's there?!
Taurus Harbinger
A Gold Saint?
That's right.
I am the Gold Saint of Taurus...
Harbinger!
What's a Gold Saint doing here?
You want to know?
It's because...
Great Horn!
...I wanted to enjoy the sound of breaking bones.
But you wimps don't make any good sounds. You're no fun at all.
A Saint's fist should not be used for his personal enjoyment.
You...
The Four Kings Appear! Full-Scale War between Athena and Pallas!
The Four Kings Appear.
Full-Scale War between Athena and Pallas.
Libra Genbu
Libra Genbu!
Two Gold Saints?
The town ten kilometers south is safe.
Go there.
Genbu, what are you doing here?
That is my line, Harbinger.
Why did you leave the Houses of Zodiac without Athena's permission?
It's as you just saw. To get rid of Pallasites.
If we defeat them, the stopped time restarts, doesn't it?
Defeating individual soldiers won't do it.
We Gold Saints have been ordered to stand by at the Houses of Zodiac.
Do not forget our most important duty, protecting Athena!
Don't you lecture me!
If you have a problem with me, we can settle it with a fight.
You're running?
I'm not interested in fighting you.
Saints are not allowed to duel.
Let's go...
Athena calls for us.
I hate that guy...
With each passing hour,
the Pallasites time-stop more areas.
Aries Kiki
What shall we do, Athena?
Goddess Athena, Kido Saori
We must defeat the Pallasites.
Sagittarius Seiya
It's the only way to protect Athena and the Earth.
Indeed.
The time for sitting and observing has passed.
Virgo Fudo
Perhaps the time has come to move.
With so many Saints lost, acting individually will only cause more casualties.
First, we must unite the Saints beneath one banner.
Athena, is something wrong?
This battle began as something between Pallas and me.
The Earth, its people, and you,
have all been caught up in our fight.
If I simply let her kill me...
Athena!
Without you, who will protect Earth from the wrath of the gods?
But...
Since when have you been so spineless?
Are you really allowed to whine?
You're being rude to Athena, Harbinger.
It's fine, Genbu.
Harbinger, you're right.
I don't have much time left.
So I don't have time for sorrow or doubt.
Contact all the Saints.
You're late, Koga.
Shina-san!
Most of the Saints are already here.
Hurry.
Steel Saint Subaru
Silver Saint of Ophiuchus,
we meet again.
Ophiuchus Shina
What?
It's nothing!
Put your Cloths on, you two.
You're late.
Lionet Soma Aquila Yuna Dragon Ryuho
Soma, Yuna, Ryuho...
You barely made it before sunset.
Koga was fighting Pallasites up to the last second.
That sounds like him.
Koga-kun and Subaru-kun, I'm glad you're safe.
Pegasus Koga
You, too, guys.
Where's Haruto?
Right here.
Haruto, any clues to Pallas's whereabouts?
Wolf Haruto
I searched many places.
But nothing yet.
Not only that, but many Saints have fallen to the Pallasites.
The situation is dire.
Then I bet this summons concerns Pallas.
Yeah, it must be something big, to summon all the Saints.
The battle is finally about to start for real.
It doesn't matter who we fight.
If they're going to hurt Saori-san, I'm going to defeat them!
Athena will arrive shortly, Saints.
Silvers and Bronzes?
Where are the Golds?
They're here.
Those are the Gold Saints?
The highest ranking Saints
of the twelve constellations along the path of the sun.
So five Gold Saints remain.
Our leader, Athena!
That's Athena?
What?
I know I've never seen her, but I feel like I've met her.
You're in Athena's presence.
Saints!
Over the millennia, the Earth, your beloved home,
has been threatened many times by the gods.
Floods sent by the sea king, Poseidon.
The invasion of Hades.
And now, Earth is threatened by the goddess of love, Pallas.
Once, Pallas and I were as close as sisters, and spent our time together.
But at some point, she began to hate me.
What do you think?
You look so brave and wonderful when you fight, Sister.
But you look great with this dress and flower, too.
Goddess Pallas
What do you think, Sister?
Hey, Athena,
say something...
Titan! Take me to my sister, Athena!
Right now!
Athena is still strong, and guarded by her Saints.
You can see her when you've grown a bit more.
I want to see my sister.
I want to see her now...
Let me see her! Let me see her!
Why do you not let her see her sister, Titan?
You're here?
It is our task to grant Pallas-sama's wishes.
Who are they?
I'll introduce you.
Class-1 Pallasite Cataclysm Slash Hyperion
Wielder of the holy Cataclysm Slash,
Hyperion.
Wielder of the War God's Manifestation Blade,
Class-1 Pallasite War God's Manifestation Blade Gallia
Gallia.
Wielder of the Heavy Lightning Striker, Aegaeon.
Class-1 Pallasite Heavy Lightning Striker Aegaeon
And myself, wielder of the Blade of Theogenesis,
Class-1 Pallasite Blade of Theogenesis Titan
Titan.
We are the Four Heavenly Pallasite Kings.
The ultimate Four Kings take action!
Four Kings?
Class-1 Pallasites...
The strongest of your servants.
Titan, you're too soft.
I will wipe out the Saints and the foolish humans with my Cataclysm Slash.
Hyperion, that is too cruel.
Even an insect has a soul.
I'm sure humans have reasons for what they do.
We could listen to them first...
Humans are interesting creatures.
They hate to fight, but war amongst themselves.
It's a waste to eliminate them simply because we don't need them.
We Four Kings are here to serve you, Pallas-sama.
We shall do all within our power to grant your wish.
Can I see my sister, Athena?
I promise that, before long, you will.
Thank you, Titan!
Saori-san!
Pallas uses this spiral ring to steal Athena-sama's life.
She has approximately one year left!
She was hesitant to involve the Saints in her fight against Pallas...
But the Pallasites are also harming innocents.
To save them, Athena has decided to risk her life in battle!
The warriors of Pallas, the Pallasites,
are stealing people's time from them.
If we defeat the Pallasites who have stopped time, then it will flow again.
Saints,
please lend me your power.
Athena's order has been issued!
Saints, I tell you here and now that an all-out war against
the Pallasites has begun!
Head to the time-stopped areas,
and defeat the Pallasites you find!
The Pallasites are all over the world.
We should split up and defeat them.
Let us meet again.
Yes, without doubt.
Don't die, guys!
Let's do our best for the love and peace of the world.
The Pallasites are gonna get their butts kicked.
We will fight for Athena.
Hey, wait...
Koga?
Didn't something seem off with him?
Really? He seemed pretty fired up.
Saori-san raised Koga-kun.
He must want to protect her more than anyone.
He will survive and fulfill his duty as a Saint.
I hope so.
Koga...
No one's moving...
It's like the whole town's dead.
Come out.
If you won't come out...
Pallasites!
Subaru, don't lower your guard...
Let's go, Pegasus!
Come to me, Steel Cloth!
There are so many...
Koga!
I'll take you all on.
Koga, that's crazy!
Fight! Fight!
I am a Saint...
So I must fight!
For Athena's sake,
I must fight!
I've been waiting for you, Pegasus!
You're...
Class-3 Pallasite Tarvos
Class-3 Pallasite, the Morning Star...
Star Crusher Tarvos.
It's been a long time.
I'm back for round two!
Tarvos!
God-slayer, this time,
my Star Crusher will smash you!
Now let's fight, Pegasus!
It's time for my comeback!
Come, then.
You're all ready to fight...
Last time, you said you didn't want to.
Do you enjoy fighting?
No...
I'm fighting as a Saint!
For Athena!
For Athena?
That's an excuse to fight as much as you want.
Dog of Athena!
The Pallasites are fighting for Pallas, right?
I'm using Pallas!
To wear my Chronotector and smash you up!
What's wrong?
You want to fight, right?
Your fist is itching, isn't it?
I know that feeling.
I'm the same way.
I love destroying the human world with my Star Crusher.
You're just like me.
I'm not!
Admit it.
You want to destroy some things with those fists, right?
Destroy them...
Sh-Shut up.
The speed of your punches has fallen.
Now, let's fight!
Let's fight and destroy this whole world!
No...
No?
What the hell? You're wrecking my fun.
You coward!
If you won't fight, I'll see that you never can again!
Subaru!
Don't interrupt...
Normal humans should get lost!
This guy...
killed gods!
Yeah, his fists are stained with blood!
But it wasn't for his own sake.
I know that!
He was always fighting to protect others.
Tearing himself, his fists and his Cloth apart!
To protect Earth, he's even fought the gods themselves.
He isn't like you at all!
Not even a bit!
Subaru...
You're an annoying yappy dog.
And I hate annoying things!
A baby?
You're so annoying!
Koga!
I didn't expect you to run into the Star Crusher,
you fool!
I really am a fool.
But I don't need a reason.
I want to save them, and my body moves.
I'm sure Saori-san, too...
That Saori-san's wish...
Athena's wish is the same
as my own!
It's not that I want to fight.
I want to protect the people who can't fight.
That is why I fight!
Shine, my Cosmo!
Fool.
Star Crusher, smash Pegasus and the baby!
Iron Meteo Strike!
I can be strong because there are people I must protect!
Pegasus Ryu Sei Ken!
Wh-What?
My Star Crusher can crush the very stars themselves!
Curse you, Pegasus.
You've defeated me not once, but twice!
God...
She thanked the wrong person.
No god would protect a single baby...
There's Athena.
As Saints, our job is to protect the people in her place.
Then she'll always get the glory.
That's okay.
As long as they're happy, that's enough.
Hey, where are you going?
Where else?
We'll defeat the Pallasites across the world
to restore the stopped time.
Oh, fine.
To Be Continued
