Saint Seiya: Knights of the Zodiac

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...

Phoenix Rising!

I'm not leaving without Nero!

Go, Shaun. Leave.

I suppose we need to find the bodies

as proof to Sanctuary that the Bronze Knights are dead.

Even in death, you can't hide from Silver Knight Misty!

They're not here.

Didn't you see those rays of light

coming out from the volcano?

That's impossible.

Mere Bronze Knights don't possess that kind of power.

Unless they had help.

I'll send the other Silver Knights

to help track them down.

Do what you have to do.

We'll be there soon, my lady.

It was lucky for us

that Mr. Kido built so many safe houses.

My grandfather was an intelligent man.

He knew that a day like this would come someday.

Mylock, I'm worried.

We haven't heard any word from the Bronze Knights.

I'm sure they'll contact us

as soon as they find the Gold Armor.

Until then, you should enjoy this moment of calm.

I just hope it isn't the calm before the storm.

Am I dead?

Oh, no! I'm dead!

I must have been killed inside the volcano.

Huh.

Okay, maybe I'm not dead.

I have no idea what's happening, which is bad,

but I'm not dead, which is good. Huh?

Where am I?

How did I get here?

Did I just dream the whole thing?

Ah, you're so boring!

Boy, Seiya, you're not very bright, are you?

Who are you?

Questions, questions, so many questions.

I am Kiki, always have been, always will be.

The last thing I remember

was the volcano collapsing down around us.

How did I wind up here?

You were rescued. Otherwise, you'd be dead.

Who rescued me?

Why, Master Mu, of course!

Who's Master Mu?

The one who rescued you. I just told you.

But the whole volcano was collapsing in on us!

There's no way out! How could one man possibly--

Master Mu's power is legendary.

You and your friends were going to die.

Then Master Mu appeared in all his glory.

He rescued everyone, even the Black Knights.

You were brought to this remote beach,

and Master Mu took the other Bronze Knights somewhere else.

So my friends are okay?

I can't believe we all made it out of there alive.

Except Phoenix Nero, of course.

Wait. What?

He's dead.

How? I thought everyone was rescued!

He tried, but Nero stayed behind

to allow Master Mu to rescue you and Shaun first.

In doing so, he chose to accept his own death.

Nero's gone. He lost his life

at the point when he'd just rediscovered his humanity.

I went into that volcano to bring back the Gold Armor!

Do you know what happened to it?!

I'm sure the Gold Armor is somewhere safe.

If you know where it is,

then we have to go get it. Where is it?

It's...

What was that?

Kiki?

Kiki!

Marin?

Marin, what are you doing here?

I have so much to tell you.

I finally understand why you sent me to meet--

At last I've found you.

So is this the man?

Not much to look at, is he?

Marin, who the hell is this guy?

This guy is Lizard Misty, a Silver Knight,

who ranks much higher than a Bronze Knight like you.

I don't understand.

But I thought you were--

For once, you should shut your mouth, Seiya,

Or else I'll shut it for you permanently.

What's gotten into you, Marin?

Sucker punching your old student.

I didn't think you had it in you.

But this one is mine.

Then he's all yours.

Such powerful Cosmo with only one finger.

A Silver Knight is a totally different level.

You can't even handle my weakest attack.

How could you have possibly escaped

when I destroyed the volcano?

Killing you is a waste of effort.

But Sanctuary has made it clear.

You and your Bronze Knight friends must die.

So the rumor is true.

Sanctuary wants me dead!

There's no shame in dying

at the hands of Misty, the gorgeous assassin.

Better to accept your fate.

Make this quick, Misty.

Marin.

Not only are you going to die, Seiya,

but your friends are being hunted down as we speak.

Looks like it's a bad day to be a Bronze Knight.

Shut your mouth!

See how easily I can outmaneuver you?

And I make it look good.

I make everything look good.

Seiya's no match for a Silver Knight!

I can see that, Kiki.

I can't just stand by and do nothing.

I have to help him.

Master Mu.

Master Dohko?!

You are too young, too eager to take action.

You must wait until the time is right.

But if we don't act, Seiya will be...

Patience, Master Mu.

Let the boy choose his own destiny.

Well understood, Master Dohko.

So we're not going to help?

We're not supposed to interfere, Kiki.

We must have faith that Seiya will figure it out himself.

Your death is going to be quick, but painful.

Very painful.

Hah! I'm a Silver Knight.

You're nothing but a Bronze Knight.

You don't stand a chance.

Oh, yeah? Well, that's what you think!

Pegasus Ryu-Sei-Ken!

What?

My punches have no effect on him.

Is that all you've got?

Enough of this, Misty.

Now you're going to interfere, Marin?

Just couldn't stand to see

your former student get killed, could you?

Marin?

You're out of your league, Seiya.
