In the end Y/N chose to let Ikki help him. He decided if he wasn't going to be a Saint of Athena, maybe he could find something else to be in his life. Ikki carried the injured boy all the way to Sanctuary, sneaking past all the guards, soon he arrived at the Aries Temple.

Aries Kiki had been repairing a cloth with the help of his apprentice Raki when he felt a brutal, yet familier Cosmo. He walked out to the entrance of the Aries House to see Phoenix Ikki, carrying a weak Y/N.

"Phoenix, what are you doing in Sanctuary? Y/N?!! IS HE ALRIGHT???" Kiki asked, rushing towards the two when he got blasted back with a wave of roaring flames. Knocked back all the way inside his temple, he turned to the silent Phoenix. "What are you doing Phoenix? Why is Y/N with you?" Why are you attacking me?"

His questions were ignored when suddenly Ikki disappeared, reappearing behing him with his left fist stretched out. The Aries Saint's eyes widened when he heard Ikki growl the words 'Phoenix Genma Ken' His mind began seeing horrific nightmares as he fell down unconscious.

"One down, four to go." Ikki told Y/N as he carried him up the stairs of the twelve temples.

The Taurus temple was empty since its guardian was now the pope, but the Gemini Temple had 2 guardians.

"Phoenix Ikki," Gemini Integra began, "I don't know why you are doing this, but please stop this immediately. Give Leo Y/N over to us so we may tend to his wounds."

Once again Ikki stayed silent as he launched another wave of his aggressive cosmo, forcing the Gemini twins to fall back into their temple.

"I don't think he'll listen to us." Paradox told her twin. The two fought back against the immortal saint, but even as Gold Saints they were no match for his wrath, not to mention they couldn't land a single blow since he was holding Y/N in his arms. The two sisters fell just as Kiki did.

"Their teamwork was impressive. As expected of the Gemini Twins. Two down, three to go." Ikki announced as he continued on.

He passed through the vacant Cancer temple and all the way to Leo. Once he entered he was greeted with the sight of Legendary Saint Shiryu, who was sitting down facing the Gold Leo Cloth as he meditated.

'I expected him to be at Goroho.' Ikki thought to himself as the former dragon saint stood up and faced his fellow saint.

"Ikki, I don't know why you are doing this, and I have no intention to fight you, we have fought many battles together, I consider you my brother, but you have harmed our fellow Saints and I cannot forgive that. As the Libra Saint, who governs over Balance and Harmony, I cannot allow you to pass this Temple of Leo. Please let the Sanctuary healers take care of Leo Y/N and cease this pointless crusade you are on"

Ikki gently layed Y/N against a pillar as he face his former comrade. "You say as the Libra Saint you govern Balance and Harmony. Do you really call what you did to Y/N balance or harmony?"

Shiryu grimaced at the question. "You are right Ikki, we did Y/N a great disservice. We all regret the part we played at his pain, which is why we wish to make up for our mistake. Let us fix this, please."

Ikki began waving his arms, preparing to launch his attack. Shiryu knew that at that point there was no reasoning, no more words to be said. He placed himself in a battle stance and prepared himself for the fight that was to come.

The clashing cosmo's of the two Legendary Saints could be felt all across Sanctuary. At the Virgo Temple Fudo launched his defensive technique 'Kan' to protect himself from the blazing Cosmo. At the Sagittarius Temple Seiya watched the fight with a heavy heart, unsure of what to do. At the Pope's chambers Harbinger sat in his chair uncomfortably, not knowing what to make of the upcoming fight. Tears fell down Athena's face, watching two Saints that she knew well and fought with together for years clash, knowing it was all her fault.

Back at the Leo Temple, Y/N, despite his weakened state, could sense that a great battle was about to take place. He moved himself behind the pillar he was leaning on, despite that great pain he was feeling, hoping that he it would protect him from the aftermath.

Shiryu and Ikki launched their attacks. A blazing Phoenix and a Golden Dragon clahed as their battle raged throughout the Temple of the Golden Lion
