Another Cosmo has disappeared.
Hey, was that a Saint?
Or a Pallasite?
It seems both sides are sustaining casualties.
I'm so bored!
Hey, Titan...
Let's go into town and play.
We mustn't, Pallas-sama.
The Saints of Athena have come to Pallasvelda to kill you.
It's dangerous.
A little while won't hurt.
I only want to go for a short walk.
That's okay, right?
If you're to grow, you need rest.
Please go to bed.
You're so mean, Titan.
I hate you!
Be back soon!
Koga and Pallas! Meeting on the Battlefield!
Koga and Pallas.
Meeting on the Battlefield.
I thought it was a Saint, but it's just a normal person.
You're an eyesore. Get lost!
You're the ones who'll get lost!
We are Athena's Saints.
We're on your side.
It's all right now.
What's happening?
Everything just stopped...
And then, those guys were everywhere!
They're Pallasites.
They stopped time for the town.
Because you have a strong Cosmo, you weren't affected.
Cosmo?
A power everyone has, created by your body and mind.
Can anyone around here besides you move?
A few can...
But we got separated.
We need to find them.
We'll find any who can move and protect them.
It doesn't matter how many Pallasites I defeat... It's all pointless.
If I don't defeat Pallas, I can't save Athena.
I must defeat Pallas.
Thank you, Eden.
It's nothing.
Even those little kids were frozen...
How awful.
That's what Pallas does.
You can tell a leader's quality by the followers' behavior.
The Pallasites are cowardly and merciless
because their leader, Pallas, also is.
I'm sure Pallas has the face of a demon.
Pretty...
Pretty and shiny.
Like a star.
This is the Pegasus Cloth.
I'm a Saint of Athena,
Pegasus Koga.
Pegasus Koga?
If they find me, they'll take me back.
Are you scared?
It's okay.
I'll protect you.
I'm so happy!
Who's there?
Found them!
A Saint!
Hang on...
I have no choice, then.
Hide here.
Got it?
This way!
Pegasus Ryu Sei Ken!
Koga is amazing, and so cool!
Hey, you...
What?
You're—
I told you to hide.
But I wanted to see you fight...
You aren't scared?
I'm not scared.
You'll protect me, won't you?
Let's go exploring, Koga.
Wait, it's dangerous!
This way...
Athena looks even more worn.
When she's awake, she remains strong.
But her life is being chipped away...
So of course she isn't really fine.
Can't we destroy that ring?
That would be dangerous.
The ring connects the lives of Pallas and Athena.
If we destroy it, Athena's life could well be lost.
Then there's nothing we can do?
Get down... It's dangerous!
Come up here...
There's a great view!
Hey, what do you like about Athena?
You protect her because you love her, right?
It isn't that I like or dislike her...
A Saint's task is to protect Athena.
If you don't love her, why would you protect her?
Does she force you to fight?
It isn't like that...
Poor Koga.
Athena's so mean.
But don't worry.
You have me.
I will love you.
Pallas-sama?
Pallas-sama...
Stop it...
Don't be silly, kid.
I'm not a kid.
You're a kid that doesn't listen.
How many times do I need to tell you it's dangerous?
I'm not a piece of luggage...
Put me down!
I'm taking you somewhere safe.
No!
The Saints will protect you.
Just keep going till you're out of town.
Let me go!
Koga?
I found another one.
No...
She's a lively girl.
A real tomboy.
Evacuate with the rest of these people, understand?
No...
I want to stay with you, Koga!
No, I'm going back to the front lines of the fight.
Being with me is dangerous.
Why? Come on...
Let's go see the river next.
Why are you so selfish?
If you think everyone will just do what you say, you're wrong!
What did you say?
One of these days, you'll get hurt!
You said you'd protect me.
I'm a Saint of Athena.
I protect Athena!
I see...
So you're going to abandon me.
Just who do you think you are, anyway?
Th-This is...
You're only a human!
This Cosmo...
Hurry!
What is this huge Cosmo?
I can barely breathe...
It's totally different than normal Cosmo!
It's so evil and twisted...
You were nice to me, and then you threw me away.
I loved you.
And you wanted to leave me...
Athena left me, choosing those foolish humans.
You're just like Athena.
That ring!
You can't be...
I am Pallas.
The goddess of love, Pallas!
Pallas?
You?
Stand back, Saints.
I won't allow you to lay a finger on Pallas-sama!
Titan... You came for me?
Of course.
Protecting you is my job.
I love you, Titan!
If we defeat Pallas, we can save Athena!
This battle will end!
I am one of the Four Pallasite Kings, Titan.
I can't move...
What is that sword?
The Blade of Theogenesis.
A holy blade the ancient gods used
when they created this world.
When this blade's light shines on it, most Cosmo will stop.
Koga, abandon Athena and be my servant...
Then I won't kill you.
I told you...
I am a Saint of Athena!
Oh.
Then I don't need you.
Titan, kill Pegasus.
So you are Pegasus, the god-slayer?
A dangerous man.
Perhaps it is best to kill you quickly.
Koga!
Goodbye, Koga.
So you're here, Gold Saint of Sagittarius?
Seiya...
Pallas,
you've grown up so much.
You've grown this much by stealing away Athena's life.
Yes, I can't wait to grow up.
I'll take her life, and I'll get even bigger.
I shall not let you!
Can you defeat me?
You were unable to hurt a child.
You're too kind.
I will not hesitate anymore.
If defeating you when you wear a child's form is a sin,
then I shall bear that sin!
Pointing your blade at a god is no mere sin.
It is a mortal sin, for which even being flayed
would not atone.
Even so...
Even if I am disgraced...
Even if I am torn apart...
I will protect Athena!
I am the same way!
No matter what, I will protect Pallas-sama.
Humans are so stupid...
Seiya!
Don't underestimate humans!
Sagittarius Seiya...
Pegasus Koga...
You are human, yet you have the Cosmo to move
before the Blade of Theogenesis?
And you dare to attack Pallas-sama.
I cannot allow you to live.
We're leaving, Titan.
However, my priority now is Pallas-sama's safety.
Wait!
Koga, it was fun...
I'll see you again, right?
Because you can't save Athena without defeating me.
I'll be waiting, Koga.
So you're babysitting a selfish goddess?
That must be difficult...
It can't be helped.
That is his task.
It isn't a job I would want...
Pallas grows ever faster,
and her Cosmo becomes stronger.
When she is fully grown, Athena will die.
Is there nothing we can do but watch her weaken?
Let's just bust our way in and finish this!
It won't be so easy.
The Pallasite Kings have equal, or perhaps greater,
power compared to the Gold Saints.
We must not underestimate them.
The battle with the Pallasites has cost many Saints their lives,
and our numbers dwindle.
We are losing this war.
But...
That was the perfect chance to defeat Pallas!
I couldn't even move...
A normal Cosmo cannot defeat her.
How do we fight now?
We go forward.
Even if that means committing a sin,
we must fight.
Even if we're fighting someone stronger,
we must go forward.
Just like the Saints in ages past have.
Koga...
Even if we can't do it on our own,
if we all work together and advance,
I'm sure we can defeat Pallas!
The Cosmo of Saints on the battlefield grows stronger, not weaker.
And the legendary Saints have begun to act, as well.
The time will come for us, the Gold Saints, to act.
Until then, let us wait.
And believe in the Saints on the battlefield.
Believe in our comrades!
Let's go.
