Knights of the Zodiac: Saint Seiya - Battle for Sanctuary

It is said that every several hundred years,

the goddess Athena is reincarnated.

And now a new Athena has been born into this world,

but, this time, under a dark prophecy that she will lead mankind to ruin.

The warriors who protected the goddess Athena were known as Knights.

Today, a new generation of Knights control the fate of the world.

They are called the Knights of the Zodiac.

Previously on Saint Seiya...

Lúshan Shenglóng bà!

Phantom Demon Attack!

Aiolia!

Why are you attacking me?

You always interrupt at the worst possible times.

You know very well the Phantom Demon Attack

is an evil used to control the victim's mind.

In order to break its spell, someone must die in front of the victim.

Hell to live...

hell to die.

How about that, Aiolia?

Feel better now?!

Uh...

What?

Aiolia looks like he wants to kill me!

M-My leg!

For someone like you, who relies on agility,

a broken leg means death.

Now shall I end this quickly,

or should I draw this out a bit and make you suffer?

The Aiolia I knew had wisdom, virtue, valor.

He was the epitome of a Knight.

But now the aura I sense from Aiolia is like a demon,

a demon who wants to kill everything he sees.

It's time I ended this little game.

I'll finish you off now.

This time, it won't be your leg I crush.

It'll be your heart.

Huh.

Incredible.

You really don't know when to give up.

You must really enjoy suffering.

Long and Shaun are on their way.

And for their sake, I have to put up as much of a fight as I can.

You want to prolong your anguish for the sake of your friends?

Ridiculous.

Earlier, just for an instant,

I could see one of your light-speed punches,

so if there's a chance,

even one in a million...

Hah! Is this what you saw?

I-I see them again,

the light-speed punches!

Don't celebrate yet, Seiya.

I held back so that you could see that one.

What?

Your Ryu-Sei-Ken throws out a hundred blasts a second,

but my attack sends 100 million blasts a second.

Now watch.

Hah! You could never see my light-speed attacks.

Lightning Plasma!

Now do you understand?

Your one-in-a-million chance of victory never existed.

Finally you see the stupidity in challenging a Gold Knight.

Mu was right.

The Gold Knights...

they're so far beyond us.

We could never have imagined it.

That realization has come far too late.

Once I'm done with you, my next target will be Marin.

Marin?

Is she here?

It doesn't matter.

I'm still going to kill you all.

If I don't win,

Marin will...

Now die!

Stop, Aiolia!

You can't take Seiya's life.

That privilege belongs to me.

Cassios?

Seiya.

I've been dreaming about this moment.

You're still alive?

Surprise!

Wanna know another secret?

Aiolia's been brainwashed by the Grand Master's Phantom Demon Attack.

What?!

And there's only one way to release him from the spell.

He needs to see someone die.

Huh?

So to free Aiolia, someone has to die.

That someone is you!

I hope you enjoyed your little reunion,

because you're both going to die.

Damn it.

Weakling.

That's just what I expected from you.

But now the circumstances have changed.

Cassios!

Why?

I told you.

The brainwashing will hold until Aiolia sees someone die!

Why--Why did you do this?

I became a Black Knight...

and lost my battle with you.

With nowhere else to go...

I returned to Sanctuary broken...

and restarted myself from the basics under Shaina's training

so I could pay you back.

But one day...

Shaina!

Shaina, what happened?

Relax. You're safe now.

I can't stay, Cassios.

Will you watch over her?

Of course.

I'd do anything for her.

Make her comfortable.

Help her heal.

Where are you going?

To the Grand Master's chamber.

Sanctuary.

Shaina!

Your wounds are healing nicely.

You should be up and about in no time.

How long have I been out?

Hours? Days?

More like a week.

I know you've been staying with me all this time.

Thank you, Cassios.

You should sleep more.

I can't.

Huh?

I sensed something.

What happened?

There was...

Athena's been shot by a god-killer arrow.

What?!

The Bronze Knights are fighting their way through the 12 Houses

to reach the Grand Master.

They need him to remove the arrow to save her life.

Seiya?

I have to help him!

Seiya?

Why do you care about Seiya?

Where is he?!

Heading into the House of Leo.

Good.

He'll be safe there.
