I admire your fighting spirit for not retreating from us, the Gold Saints.
However, you will open the way for Athena!
Atomic Thunderbolt!
Disappear beyond the great light!
Starlight Extinction!
Athena!
I'm fine.
When are we going to reach Pallas?
What's wrong, Harbinger? Are you already tired?
Don't be stupid...
These are all wimps.
I'm getting bored!
It is strange.
What's wrong, Fudo?
We've only seen foot soldiers.
Not a single powerful opponent has attempted to stop us.
That's true...
They're scared of us Gold Saints.
I hope that's the case, but...
Now, Athena... Come quickly.
You must safely reach this place...
So that he may revive.
Damn it! How far does this corridor extend?
How long have we been running?
We haven't seen any enemies for a while.
You're right, I sense an ominous presence.
Stay focused, everyone!
Hyoga, what's wrong?
It felt as if someone were watching us.
I agree...
But I cannot sense an enemy Cosmo.
We'll just have to keep moving forward.
Father?
Something is wrong...
It's like we're lost in a labyrinth.
A labyrinth?
I hope I am mistaken.
Let's go, Ryuho!
Right.
You fools...
You are inside an infinite corridor.
Run as long as you like, but you will never escape.
A Shadow Approaches! The Gold Saints That Protect Athena!
A shadow approaches.
The Gold Saints that protect Athena.
What is this place?
Are the Pallasites finally here?
No, this Cosmo is...
I'm certain of it.
Behind us!
Hi!
I've been waiting for you, Kido Saori.
Paradox.
So it was you.
But that armor...
I am now the class-2 Pallasite,
the staff wielder, Scarlet Janus Paradox.
Protect Athena!
Paradox, Athena has no time for you.
Withdraw!
Look at all of you, clinging to her.
She isn't worth your protection!
Athena!
Everyone loves her simply because she happened to be born a goddess.
You aren't that special!
Crystal Wall!
What a dark, evil Cosmo.
It appears that Paradox has been overwhelmed by hate.
It isn't love that wins battles... It's hate!
Integra.
I knew you'd show up.
Naturally.
I shall finish my fight with you.
As a fellow Gemini Gold Saint, that is my task!
Athena, I shall end my sister's wickedness.
But you cannot fight her alone.
No, leave this to me.
You're late. What were you doing?
I can read the fate written in the stars.
I knew you would come to slay Athena.
So I snuck into the castle, and I waited for you to arrive!
Oh? You believe you managed to lure me out?
Then you are badly mistaken!
I can read the stars, as well...
I knew if I went after Kido Saori, you would appear.
You're the one who fell into my trap!
What?
You stood in my way...
Had you not appeared, everything would have worked out.
Now it's my turn to steal from you.
I'll take everything from you!
You long for an impossible future!
I swear on my name, as the Gold Saint of Gemini, that I will protect them.
The people of Earth
and the goddess Athena!
What a powerful collision of Cosmos.
Integra's pure Cosmo, and Paradox's twisted, wicked Cosmo...
Both colliding at full strength.
Integra!
I don't need your help.
This is a fight between Geminis!
But at this rate...
I don't get it, either.
Why do they have to fight?
Aren't they sisters?
Harbinger...
Those two sisters bear an inescapable destiny.
Just as fate ordains my own battle with Pallas.
That destiny isn't fair!
Love and sadness.
Light and darkness.
Until one overcomes the other, this battle will not end.
Yeah...
You guys, stand there and watch!
What is this collision of Cosmo?
Two powerful Cosmos are colliding and neither one is yielding!
Then it's finally begun...
The fated battle of Gemini!
It seems you're having fun, Gallia.
Hyperion, you should experience this, as well.
The pathetic humans killing each other.
There was no need to send an assassin.
Simply abandon them.
What fun would that be?
Let the maggots fight each other,
and watch the bloody battle from a distance.
What could be more amusing?
Nasty woman...
Integra!
Are you already done?
You haven't changed since you were a child...
You're weak.
I'll make you taste the pain and loneliness I experienced
when no one loved me.
You will die, alone and miserable...
With no one to help you!
Scarlet Janus!
Greatest Horn!
Harbinger!
I told you I didn't need your help!
I couldn't watch that.
It's enough.
What are you doing?
You aren't here to fight for Kido Saori, are you?
Nope.
I don't fight for Athena.
Then, why do you interfere?!
I never knew my parents or brothers.
But I can't just stand by and watch
as sisters kill each other!
Harbinger, you really are nice, aren't you?
Shut up!
That isn't it.
How dare you talk to me that way?
Kido Saori, you're as guilty as I am!
Athena is as guilty as you?
What do you mean?
Pallas is like a sister to you, but haven't you come to kill her?
Not to mention, you've gotten more Saints killed than I can count.
You think you have the right to attack me?
You're no goddess...
You're just a murderer!
No...
Athena is not a murderer!
Integra...
You still want to fight?
Athena marches onward, as her life withers away,
all for the people of Earth and the Saints who fight with her...
Not simply because she was born a goddess by chance!
Athena's strong sense of self-sacrifice
has moved the Saints' hearts, bringing them this far!
So what?!
When you see her, do you feel nothing?
I do not!
Because no one has ever loved me.
Not our parents...
Not that woman!
You were the one they always loved.
I was stronger...
I was the one better suited to be the Gemini Gold Saint!
This time, I'll prove it!
Prove which of us is truly stronger.
That stance...
She can't mean to use Gemini's most powerful attack...
Integra...
Galaxian Ultimation!
Galaxian Explosion!
The ultimate skill, said to be capable of destroying the very stars.
Hey, what's going on?
This isn't good.
If their Cosmos continue to collide,
Pallas's castle will be caught in a star-destroying explosion
that will annihilate it!
What?
I'll take everyone with me...
Kido Saori and everything else.
With my hatred, I'll destroy everything.
Athena, it's dangerous! Please run away!
I cannot run.
Integra,
you risk your life to fight for me.
My duty is to see this battle to its end.
Athena...
What?
What is this massive Cosmo?
You understand nothing.
Love is a heart that feels compassion for life.
That is true strength!
But you mock life, seeking only love...
I am a guardian of Athena. You can never hope to defeat me!
What?
Integra's love overwhelmed Paradox's hate.
The battle is finished.
Why do you hesitate?
You hate me, right?!
Hurry up and finish me already!
Don't make me embarrass myself further!
Paradox...
Forgive me.
Wait, Integra.
Athena... Why?
If you kill Paradox, your sister,
you will never forgive yourself.
Are you all right with that?
I am prepared.
If taking my wicked sister's life is a sin,
I shall carry the burden of that sin.
Integra,
there is no need for that.
Your feelings have already reached Paradox.
Isn't that right, Paradox?
What?
Don't insult me!
Why would you care about me, your enemy?
Stay away from me!
I tried to kill you.
So why do you stare at me like that?
No!
It's all right.
Athena!
In your state, if you burn your Cosmo, your life...
This is the right thing to do.
If my Cosmo can save Paradox's life...
Why go this far?
Love and hate.
Light and darkness...
One that embodies those two contradictions.
Essentially, a paradox.
That species is humanity.
Even if they sin, even if they choose the wrong path...
Humans can always start again.
What pure Cosmo, filled with love.
Athena's compassionate Cosmo is erasing Paradox's hatred.
Athena...
Athena!
I'm fine.
Now, let's go.
Watching your fight has strengthened my resolve.
I shall end this battle with Pallas.
Paradox, if you wish to use the precious life Athena has given you
to start once more,
come with us.
No...
Paradox!
I'm not a Saint anymore...
I've lived my whole life for hatred.
What can I do now?!
Paradox...
This Cosmo...
Paradox!
I gave you one last chance, you worthless brat.
This world doesn't need love!
All that's left for you humans
is despair.
