This is Aquila Yuna,
the most talented student of your peers.
Have her teach you how
we do things here, at the Palaestra, and how a Saint should behave.
I'm Lionet Soma!
Nice to meet you.
What?
I'm reading your stars.
I can learn things from the stars that let me make predictions.
People are born beneath the stars, and those determine their fate.
This is especially true of Saints and their Guardian Constellations.
The stars move poorly between the Aquila and Lionet constellations.
You and I
are not compatible at all.
Make a Storm of Fire! The Friendship of Yuna and Soma!
Make a Storm of Fire.
The Friendship of Yuna and Soma.
Lionet... Aquila...
I'll make you pay...
I'll make you pay!
Methone-kun...
What are you doing here, Europa-sama?
I was worried about you.
I understand how you must feel.
You're angry because you lost, aren't you?
If only I were stronger...
You want power?
Very well, then.
I wouldn't do this for anyone but you, Methone-kun.
If you want it so much, I'll give it to you.
A present for you.
That is the Black Hourglass, Anti-limit.
Will you take it?
Gladly.
Methone!
I found Lionet and Aquila!
Let's run them through with our claws.
Yes, Onee-sama...
Steel Bolt Arrow!
There are lots of Pallasites here...
Breaking through that gate won't be easy.
A reinforced gate with many soldiers.
It could be a shortcut to Pallas's castle.
Okay, charge!
Wait!
What is it?
Isn't it a shortcut to Pallas's castle?
So let's go!
The enemy protects it with all they have!
There's a long path ahead of us.
If we don't make a plan and act carefully,
our bodies and Cloths won't last.
But we can't just sit here!
So I'll think of something!
What?
Saint reinforcements?
No, this Cosmo...
It's the Pallasites!
Look, Onee-sama...
Those two are divided, fighting one another.
Poor things...
If only they could get along like we do.
That would be impossible.
She isn't beautiful and strong like you, Ymir-oneesama.
Nor like Methone, the kind boy who loves his big sister...
You're...
We are the class-3 Pallasites
the Claw, Max Brilliant Ymir...
And her younger brother, Methone.
The beautiful servants of Pallas-sama.
Did you kill your own companions?
Companions?
I don't need them.
All I need is myself and my sister...
Lionet... Aquila!
I'll avenge the humiliation you put me through!
Today, we will defeat you!
You never learn...
Trying again won't matter!
Why you...
Methone?
This won't be like last time.
Look.
What's that?
Methone, that can't be...
Onee-sama,
I desire power.
Strong power, worthy of the brother of one so beautiful
and strong as you!
Stop, Methone!
Onee-sama, I love you from the bottom of my heart!
What?
Her Cosmo...
Her life is being drained!
That's right.
Anti-limit, the Black Hourglass, steals the time from another.
No! Methone, stop!
Ymir-oneesama is stronger and more beautiful than anyone.
My beloved...
Become one with me!
Methone...
I can feel her power.
Onee-sama, now we're together forever!
How could he...
He did that to his own sister?
Onee-sama, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry for killing you.
But I had no choice!
Because you and I
must be stronger and more beautiful than any others.
So I will make them pay.
I have to defeat them at any cost...
You understand, right,
Onee-sama?
Lionet!
Aquila!
This is your fault.
If it weren't for you, my sister wouldn't have had to die.
What are you talking about?!
You killed her!
Soma, it's useless...
You can't reason with him.
One face,
one weapon,
one life.
My sister and I are finally one body.
We are truly one.
I am invincible!
Don't forget us!
Out of the way...
You metal scraps!
Lionet... Aquila!
You're the only ones I want!
Here is the power of my sister's and my love!
Soma, Methone is after us...
The gate's destroyed, and the path is open.
Captain, take your men on ahead.
We'll handle him.
Thanks.
Survive this, and we'll meet again!
Yeah!
Lionet! Aquila!
Come and get me, Pallasites...
Hydra Ichi, a Saint of Athena, will be your opponent.
What?
He's crazy!
Let's go somewhere more open, away from everyone.
Yuna!
Yes, this is perfect.
Are we done playing tag?
Yeah. We'll fight you, Methone!
Lionet Burning Fire!
What?
He blocked the attack?!
Too easy...
Is that all you've got?
My sister died for these guys?
Feel my sister's and my wrath!
Ymir-oneesama, the two of us win!
The fight isn't over!
Die by my claw, Max Brilliant!
Soma!
That's what you get, running in alone.
This is it!
Your kick is weak.
The two of you only have the power of a single person!
Yuna!
Hey, are you okay?
Yuna? Yuna!
Okay.
So we're not compatible...
That's fine.
I'm looking forward to the future.
To the future?
Yeah.
People I'm compatible with and those I'm not.
People I get along with and those I don't.
I'm sure I'll get mad at times...
But I love a world that has so many different people!
Isn't it because they're all different that you can read the stars?
There are so many stars, but they're all different.
Hot stars, cool ones...
Big ones and little ones.
But they come together to form a constellation...
Their light protects us,
and we became Saints who protect Athena's world.
Well, the stars brought us together as Saints in the same generation.
Nice to meet you, Aquila Yuna.
You, too... It's nice to meet you,
Lionet Soma.
Yeah!
Yuna, wake up!
Are you okay?
Soma?
Looks like you've really hurt your leg...
You can't even stand.
Aquila,
you're an eagle with broken wings.
Lionet.
Your companion won't be of any help to you.
Why not leave her behind and escape on your own?
I won't take advice from you!
You sure?
If I kill Aquila, I'll be satisfied,
and you could escape safely!
Soma!
You're really trying...
You should just abandon Aquila and run.
Soma, go on ahead.
I can defeat a weak Pallasite like this on my own!
That's my Yuna.
You aren't the type to let a guy like this insult you...
But you shouldn't insult me.
You think I'm the kind of guy who'd abandon a wounded companion?
You two get along well...
What's your relationship?
We are Saints of Athena.
And we trained together at the Palaestra,
and worked together to protect this world!
We're companions!
Companions?
In the end, companions are just other people.
That can't match the love for our siblings!
You still resist?
You're so foolish...
You are the fool, Methone.
What do you mean?
You abandoned your Pallasite comrades without a second thought.
You acted selfishly, with no consideration for them.
What of it?
The world doesn't revolve around you.
On our own, we cannot survive.
On our own, we cannot protect the world...
That's why we live with companions.
We accept and believe in them, and we help one another...
And you're a fool for not recognizing that!
I don't need stupid friends...
I have my sister!
I have strong bonds of love.
You don't have any bonds or love!
What?
You killed your sister to fulfill your own greedy desire.
That isn't love or a bond!
It's a selfish, disgusting betrayal!
Shut up! Shut up!
What do you know about my sister and me?
You two aren't bound by blood...
You're just strangers!
Everyone begins as strangers.
But...
We've survived many battlefields together,
creating a new fate for ourselves.
We are Saints of Athena!
Our stars' light guides us...
And we are bound by ties that can never be broken!
Shut up!
Then I'll show you...
Our love! Our bonds!
I can use the Twin Madness Claw,
which normally requires two siblings!
I am Aquila Yuna.
Even with my wings broken,
even in a raging storm,
I can take flight!
Rise up, my Cosmo!
Storm, tear them apart!
Twin Madness Claw!
Winds of freedom, reveal your power!
Storm Tornado!
To me, this wind is only a gentle breeze.
And what can an Aquila that can't fly do?
I won't be the one flying.
What?
Soma!
Right!
Aquila's wind sent Lionet into the sky?
The wind fans the flames higher!
My friend makes my flames burn bright!
Burn, my Cosmo!
This is... the power of friendship?
Lionet Flare Storm Bomber!
Impossible...
I powered up...
How could I lose to a mere Bronze?
Th-That can't be...
Onee-sama?
It's not my fault...
They were just so irritating, I had no choice.
She's mad!
My sister's really mad!
I'm sorry!
We did it.
Yes.
How horrible...
He worked so hard, even sacrificing his sister.
And then he died, anyway...
What a tragedy.
Poor Methone-kun... Poor Methone-kun!
Oh, the next show's beginning.
What sort of show will it be?
I can't wait to see.
What?
I can't move...
You have a nice Cloth.
It's shiny... So pretty.
So pretty...
It makes me want to break it.
Impossible...
He destroyed a Silver Cloth in one strike?
Which Cloth should I break next?
