Meeting

//Scene in a valley around the Sanctuary //

Athena and Ikki went to the valley to see something. Arriving there Ikki showed Athena something, and it turned out to be a statue of Gold Saints where their souls were sealed there. Athena immediately sat down and wept there.

Athena: "I'm sorry... I'm sorry"

(Athens spoke while sobbing)

Ikki: "Athens..."

Athena: "Even after your sacrifice, your soul still can't be freed, you are still suffering... As your leader, I can't do anything... I'm sorry"

Ikki: "You're wrong Athena, they don't think like that. They're doing this not just for you, but for peace"

Athena: "Ikki..."

Ikki: "They believe in you, they believe in us. That's why they are ready even if they have to suffer... They are the real knights!"

Athena: "You're right Ikki, I can't cry over their sacrifice"

Ikki: "But,..."

Athena"?"

Ikki: "This may sound selfish and pushy, but given our current state, we don't have much choice"

(Athens with a serious face)

Ikki: "For once again, we need the power of the Golden Cosmos in this battle... That's why, Can you free them all from this seal, we really need their strength"

Athena: "Ikki, you..."

Ikki: "I know with this they have to fight back, and maybe they won't forgive me, but, if this can help us, I'm ready to do anything"

(Ikki lowered his head pleading to Athena)

Athena: "Keep your head up Ikki, I see, they must understand too"

Ikki: "Thank you, Athena"

Athena: "But that's where the problem is, this seal is so strong, I'm not even sure I can break this seal"

Ikki: "So, is it impossible to free them?"

Athena: "We may not be able to break this seal, but we can make a gap in this seal so that their souls can be free, but..."

Ikki: "Why, Athena?"

Athena: "Right now they are just a soul, without a soul body they will return to this seal even if their soul manages to come out"

Ikki: "Body huh, just maybe..."

Suddenly, Ikki felt a power nearby. The Phoenix Box opened, Ikki immediately used it and immediately protected Athena from the front.

Ikki: "Who's there? Show yourself!"

???? : "Hoo, I got caught huh?"

Ikki: "Who are you?! What do you want?!"

???? : "So you don't know who I am, maybe seeing the armor I'm wearing you'll know right away"

(Ikki thought for a moment)

Ikki: "Black armor? ...If I'm not mistaken, it is!"

Athena: "What's wrong Ikki?"

Ikki: "In the past, the armor that the Black Saints used was inspired by the armor they used"

Athena: "Black Saint Armor?"

Ikki: "You, you're a Berserker right?!!"

Athena: "Berserker?!"

(Ikki stares seriously)

???? : "Hahaha, That's right! ... My name is Phobos, son of Ares, one of the 4 leaders of Ares army"

(Phobos laughing)

Athena: "God of Fear, Phobos"

Phobos: "It's been a few years, huh, where was my father's interest in you Ikki?"

Ikki: "Tchh!"

Phobos: "But now you've changed huh Ikki"

Ikki: "No need to say much, what's your purpose in coming here?"

Phobos: "A goal huh? You could say I'm just taking a walk, or... I'm looking for an opportunity!"

(Phobos with evil look)

(Ikki was even more prepared)

Phobos: "I was wondering, what are you guys doing here. Are you here to see the fate of your useless Saints, hahaha!"

Athena was annoyed by Phobos' words and tried to step forward, but Ikki got in the way.

Ikki: "You don't need to intervene, Athena"

Athena: "Ikki..."

Ikki: "So… you came here alone to look for trouble huh? Is this an order from Olympus?"

(Ikki looks at Phobos very seriously)

Phobos: "I don't know"

Ikki: "If you intend to do anything to Athena, I have no choice"

Phobos: "You're so confident to talk to me like that, you'll know the consequences"

Ikki got ready by increasing his Cosmo and Phobos also increased his power. The two of them were preparing to fight, but suddenly a light appeared from the sky. Seen a winged person descending from the sky.

Ikki: "What light is this?!"

Phobos: "Huh? You"

???? : "Stop this Phobos, you weren't ordered to do this, Olympus hasn't given the order"

Athena: "Who are you?"

???? : "Let me introduce myself Athena, my name is Achilles, Angel."

Ikki: "What?! Angel!"

Phobos: "You're just bothering Achilles"

Achilles: "Phobos, even though you are the son of Ares himself, you can't do what you want. The orders from Heaven are absolute, and you must obey them"

Phobos: "Order huh... From whom? Is it from Zeus? Does he love this daughter so much that he can't even punish her?!"

(Achilles feels a bit annoyed by Phobos' words)

Achilles: "You can't say things like that Phobos, you can get punished for that"

Phobos: "Haha, take it easy, I was just joking... Even so, that doesn't change the fact that you and the rest of humanity will be punished, right Athena?"

(Athena looks at Phobos with a serious face)

While they were all talking, Athena suddenly felt a very strong aura around the place. Athena looked up at the cliffs around them, and saw a figure up there.

A mysterious shadow is stalking them… Who is that person? What is he after??
