Saint Seiya: The Legend of Seiya

Recap!

The Legend of Seiya! My novelization fanfic has reached the end of the Third Arc.

Let me recap what happened so far before starting the new Arc that starts tomorrow. Who knows, maybe it entices more of you to follow up. =) I'm having a blast working on it.

Seiya got his Cloth in Greece and returned determined to find his sister. He reunites with his childhood friend Shun and the two discover that their sisters simply haven't returned from their training. Much worse, Seika ran away from her training.

Convinced by Miho, Shun and Seiya decide to participate in the Galaxian War, a spectacle in the hope that their sisters will see them on TV. There they meet Shiryu and Xiaoling that Seiya discovers to have trained in the same place as his sister, Seika.

Seiya and his friends run away from the Foundation's headquarters to go to Xiaoling's training ground. There they find Master Mayura, who tells Seiya to keep fighting, that one day he will find his sister again. Finally he is convinced and gives everything in the Tournament.

He wins over Bear and ends up forced to fight Shiryu for real, culminating in his friend's near death. But Seiya saves her in the end. Shun confronts Jabu and his sister finally emerges. But she is changed. And she steals the Gold Cloth with the Black Saints.

Not having all the parts of the Gold Cloth, Shun's sister Ikki challenges Saori to hand over the rest of the parts. Shun is determined to see his sister, but Seiya wants to be by his side too. Knowing this, Shiryu sets out to repair the broken Cloths in battle.

At the day of the fight, Seiya is nervous as Shiryu hasn't returned from Jamiel yet. The two are surprised by Saori with the Golden Urn that came to fight with them. And so they invade Death Valley. Seiya defeats Black Pegasus, but ends up stricken by a terrible poison.

Saori faces the Black Swan and ends up being saved by a strange Ice Saint, who claims to be her ally. The same Ice Saint that Seiya and Shun believed was responsible for a strange attack on the Hydra Saint one dawn.

Shun finds Seiya's body suffering on the cliff, when he is pestered by a very curious child. It is Black Andromeda who is with Black Dragon. Shun easily defeats the child, but the Dragon is very powerful. Finally, Shiryu returns from Jamiel to help him.

Shiryu and Black Dragon fight, dragged to a dark cave, where Shiryu ends up being saved by Saori, who reveals to him that there was not just one, but two Black Dragons in the cave. They were brothers, one of them blind. Anyway, Shiryu finally wins over Black Dragon that dies alongside those who loved him.

When they finally arrive in front of Phoenix, the strange Ice Saint is already defeated, because Ikki is very powerful. She easily defeats them all and then faces Saori who ends up being saved by the Ice Saint wall which makes Ikki revive her fears.

Even more irate, Ikki attacks and takes down all Bronze Saints. But Saori is saved by the Gold Cloth and Seiya joins his cosmos with his friends to finally win and awaken Ikki. Unfortunately, Ikki wasn't the only one there. A giant enemy is revealed: Docrates.

Awakened, Ikki decides to fight Docrates so that his brother can save himself. She defeats the giant enemy, but ends up buried in the slide, meeting her end. Shun leaves in her grave a pendant that he always carried with him.

After the tragic loss of his sister, Shun is convinced that there was something controlling her. Seiya and Shiryu also want to find out who these people are that are after the Gold Cloth, but mainly to be with their friend.

The Foundation is again challenged, once again to deliver the Gold Cloth. A ship is hijacked and requires the presence of the Bronze Saints and also the Golden Urn. They go and find themselves trapped in a mysterious Isle of Illusions.

Seiya and his friends face several challenges and dangers on the Island until they reach the Castle of the real responsible for all that: Geist. Alice and Seiya defeat the warrior in combat and retrieve the Urn. Alice tells the boy that she remembered his sister upon seeing Seiya fight, which thrills him.

They are all convinced that those behind the Gold Cloth are the Renegades and Banished of the Sanctuary. Saori also reveals to them that the Gold Cloth exists to protect humanity, and it always arises when there is a great threat.

Determined to find out more about the Renegades, Shiryu returns to China with Xiaoling to speak with his Master, a former watchman from Greece. Seiya and Cygnus go to Siberia, a place where traitors are sent. Shun, Alice and Saori stay in town in a refuge.

Shiryu understands that her place is next to the Gold Cloth, while Xiaoling makes dinner. In Siberia, Seiya discovers that Cygnus's name is Hyoga, who unfortunately ends up killing his mentor Crystal who has her mind controlled by a terrible power.

Alice, Shun and Saori are attacked in the mountain refuge by a Silver Saint who can control the fire. Cornered, Saori is about to deliver the Urn, when they are finally saved by an immortal bird. Phoenix returns to save his brother from death.

With the return of Ikki, who is after all alive, Seiya, Hyoga, Shiryu and Xiaoling also return with a strange conviction: that those behind the attacks are not the Renegades, but the Sanctuary itself.

Tomorrow opens the new Arc in the story. =) Come with us.
