Shiryu, again wearing her Dragon Cloth, less dizzy and more alert, helped Shun bring Seiya back. He was in a terrible condition. The purple stains were scattered all over his body, his heartbeat was weak and he was already unconscious.
They took off all of his Cloth so that his body could breathe and Shiryu said she would try something of an ancient Chinese manouver, but was interrupted by the young Black Andromeda.
"Let me help you." she said.
At the background, Black Dragon's brother was still mourning his brother's death by his body.
The Nebula Chain did not sensed an enemy there, so Shun and Shiryu made room for her to approach.
She identified the initial wound in Seiya's spleen and from a belt she had on her Black Cloth, she pulled out two small vials. The first one, she threw on Seiya's wound, who, upon contact, reacted slightly with pain.
"Open his mouth." she asked and Shun helped.
She then poured the contents of the second vial into Seiya's mouth and quickly closed it.
"It's an antidote for the poison of the Arrows. He should get better very fast. He wasn't actually going to die, he was just going to look really bad for a few weeks. This antidote will clean up his system quickly." she said, feeling very guilty. "Thanks." Shiryu said to her, but she got up with a sad face and sat down again beside the blind brother of the Black Dragon.
Shiryu felt the weight of that death and was silent looking at Seiya, suffering in front of her.
And then she realized that Shun had gotten up to move on.
"Wait, Shun."

The two of them walked along the lowest part of the valley, where it opened into a grove of snow-covered pine trees. They walked in silence and had left every part of the Gold Cloth behind; if they had brought it, it would be complete with the helmet that Phoenix owned. But Shun was there for his sister. And Shiryu was there for Shun.
Very soon the two felt two cosmos energies colliding ahead and no doubt knew that Phoenix was fighting someone.
"What? But... is it Miss Saori?" Shiryu wondered, to Shun's astonishment. "She helped me fight inside the Cave..." "If she's fighting my sister alone, she's in great danger." worried Shun.
And the two broke into a run through the snow until the Nebula Chain began to react: the enemy was close.
It was before them.
Sitting on a rock facing the two of them, the Phoenix had her feathers shimmering behind her, dancing in the gust of the valley wind. On her face an evil smile and eyes full of hate.
"You got here too late." she said.
Shiryu stepped forward, but the Nebula Chain entwined her body and knocked her out.
