The Golden Saints: The Battle of the Twelve Houses

[](warwarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrasdwragaretawdarawsdwr) ___The battle begins when the knights and Athena are in search of the Patriarch as Saori announced that they would soon go to the Shrine to see him. A hooded figure appears who guides them to where the Patriarch is; He explains that they must cross the 12 houses of the Zodiac to see it (which nobody has achieved). Suddenly, this person reveals himself as Ptolemy of the Arrow, and prevents them from continuing, saying he will not let them even get to Aries, the first house. Ptolemy attacks them with arrows, but Seiya is able to easily shoot him down with his meteor attack. Everything seems to have gone well; however, they realize that Athena receives a golden arrow in her chest. Ptolemy tells them that the only one who can remove the arrow is the Patriarch and when the arrow was nailed a cycle of twelve hours began that at the end of the arrow it would pierce his heart completely and only have that time to cross the 12 houses.___

The first house is the one of Mu de Aries, which upon seeing their armor very damaged by the previous combats humbly offers to compose their armors since with them they will not be rivals for the golden knights, once finished the armor they take a lot of life and with his complete and reinforced defenses, pass to the next house and start the fight with Aldebaran de Tauro; he prevents them from going because he does not believe he can defeat a Golden Knight. Seiya raises his cosmos to the maximum and manages to cut off his right horn; Taurus lets it through but Shiryu and the others must defeat him before he can continue. Seiya advances to the house of Gemini, and the others reach it. They realize that the house is a labyrinth, and every time they try to enter the house they return to the beginning. Shiryu, in his blindness, manages to perceive the exit and goes ahead with Seiya while Shun and Hyoga are left behind fighting against the empty armor of Gemini. The Gemini armor is controlled by saga from the room of the patriarch (who is actually the knight of Gemini). In an attack, Hyoga is sent to an unknown dimension but Shun resists and with the help of Ikki, who is on the island of Kanon, manages to defeat Saga, the Golden Knight of Gemini.

Shun manages to cross the house and meanwhile Hyoga that because of the attack of Gemini is sent to another dimension, suddenly appears in the house of Libra. This house was previously guarded by Dohko, the master of Shiryu. There appears Camus the Aquarian knight who had been a teacher of the Crystal Knight, master of Hyoga. Camus insults the Crystal Knight very much and attacks Hyoga and the ship where his mother was, sending him to the depths of the sea where he was sunk where no one can reach him, because he believes that he must let go of the past to become a true Golden Knight. However, Hyoga tries to attack him but is easily defeated by his Aurora execution technique killing him in this way and causing his cosmos to die out with his death (something that other knights feel at the time). Camus makes Hyoga a coffin of ice where his body will remain in the house of Libra resting in peace and can not be destroyed by the golden knights.

In the next house, Cancer, Seiya and Shiryu meet Mask of Death in a house that is full of corpses that were previously his victims and their souls can not rest in peace. Seiya manages to pass while Shiryu remains fighting against Mask of Death. He attacks him and sends his soul to the Hill of Yomotsu, the border between the world of the living and the world of the dead. Shiryu meets the souls of Hyoga and Athena. On the verge of death, Shyriu is saved by the prayers of Shirrei, Shiryu's childhood companion during his training on the five peaks and helps him return to defeat Mask of Death, however his soul is sent back to Yomotsu. Fearing that he can return again Mask of Death decides to go to the valley of death to destroy Shiryu. The soul of Shiryu manages to awaken its seventh sense to fight it, during the combat the Mortal Mask armor abandons him for not being a knight loyal to the goddess Athena leaving him defenseless and Shiryu defeats him and makes him fall to Yomotsu. His soul returns to his body which makes him recover his sight, and on the way out he meets Shun and they go to Leo's house.

Seiya arrives at Leo's house and meets Aiora, but he is controlled by the satanic blow of the Patriarch who hypnotized him after the real Athena and the bronze Knights revealed the truth of his brother Aioros and the only way to To break hypnosis is to kill a person. After a cruel fight in which is about to kill Seiya, Cassios intervenes to help him and reveals to Seiya the truth of his behavior, and sacrifices himself, making the Patriarch's control over Leo's knight disappear. Aiora with the recovered memory takes the corpse of Cassios and lets them advance to the house of Virgo, warning that they do not let the Virgo Knight, Shaka, open his eyes.

Shaka manages to easily defeat Seiya, Shiryu and Shun, but in that Ikki arrives to defend them. The two manage to sustain themselves in combat; Shaka realizes that in order to defeat Ikki he must remove his five senses. To perform this attack, Shaka must open his eyes, and Ikki leaves him in order to awaken his seventh sense and face it. The fight reaches such a degree that it is believed that both died, when in fact they were sent to a parallel dimension. With the road open, others can advance to Libra's house.

This house is guarded by Dohko, master of Shiryu, who decides not to fight against them. However, he explains that Hyoga, having left the Yomotsu Hill, had been caught by Aquarius Camus in an ice coffin. Camus had been a teacher of the Crystal Knight, master of Hyoga. Camus attacks to Hyoga and the boat where his mother was, because it thinks that it must detach itself of the past to become a true Golden Horseman. Nevertheless, Hyoga tries to attack it but it is defeated by his technique Execution of Aurora. To free him, Shiryu uses the sword of Libra's golden armor; however, Hyoga is on the verge of death because of Camus's cold. To save him, Shun helps him recover his body heat by using his cosmic energy, at the cost of his life.

In the temple of Scorpio, Seiya and Shiryu face Milo, but they are not rivals for the saint until Hyoga appears recovered and with the body of Shun in his hands, Hyoga hands him over to the other saints and tells them to go to the next house, Milo and Hyoga have a powerful fight in which Hyoga manages to freeze Milo, but at the same time is badly injured by the scarlet needle of the scorpion Milo recognizes the value of Hyoga and discovers that he really is on Athena's side so saves him and lets him go to the next house.

The next house is the temple of Sagittarius, it is assumed that it was not protected by anyone because its guardian is dead but Seiya is surprised when it is inside the golden armor of that sign and it tries to attack him, it is all a test that Aioros the knight of Sagittarius has imposed from the beyond the bronze knights who manage to pass successfully and behind a wall find a message from the knight explaining the reason for this test so that everyone starts to cry when reading the words moving the knight towards them and towards the goddess Athena.

The group arrives at Capricorn's house where Shura the golden Saint of that house appears and confronts the bronze saints, Shiryu decides to face him and the others go to the next house, Shura manages to discover Shiryu's weak point at lowering the guard with his technique "The Edge of Escalibur" managed to easily destroy the shield of Shiryu, to be helpless Shiryu had no choice but to commit suicide to kill his enemy with a "The Last Dragon", a very effective technique, but suicidal . Shortly before dying the golden Saint realizes that he is fighting on the wrong side and gives his armor to Shiryu who is saved thanks to the protection of the golden armor of Capricorn.

In aquarium, Seiya, Hyoga and Shun find Camus, Hyoga decides to face him alone and the other two continue forward, the teacher who taught Hyoga everything he knows, tried to protect him by locking him in the ice coffin, but his companions took him out of it and now they are forced to fight, but this time seriously, Hyoga defeats Camus, but both fall into the fight and in exchange Hyoga learns something from his new master, the execution of the aurora which is the strongest power of the Aquarian knight . In Libra's house he made the boat where the soul of Hyoga's mother rests, to sink to the depths where he did not arrive to be able to bury his feelings too. In Pisces Seiya and Shun they find Aphrodite of Pisces the most beautiful and lethal of the golden saints according to the patriarch, their power are the piranha roses, in the last house of the Zodiac that is the one that protects faces the saint of Andromeda to which he throws a poisoned rose that in how much it turns red will have absorbed all its blood and Shun will be dead. Despite the destruction of his armor and through the use of his cosmos, Shun defeats the golden knight of Pisces. A part is discovered that this gentleman is who really caused the destruction of the Andromeda island attacking the back of Shun's master with one of his roses; Seiya is in trouble because Pisces had filled poisonous roses with his way to the temple of the master, but Marin appears and giving his mask to Seiya this manages to destroy the evil roses and continues forward as Shina appears and offers to take care of Marin who was exposed to the poison of roses.

Seiya arrives in the chamber of the Patriarch who shows Seiya his face expressing repentance, also explains that the only way to save Athena is by reaching the temple and reflect the shield to remove the arrow, but then undergoes a transformation and becomes In an evil being, Marin reveals to Shina that she went to Star Hill (an observatory of stars where the patriarch observes them) and discovered the corpse of the patriarch. While in the temple the patriarch is revealed to be in reality Saga of Gemini the most powerful golden knight who hid behind a mask and the identity of the pontiff handling his armor from afar with his mental power. Seiya discovers the crisis of double personality that Saga suffers, but this one attacks him in a brutal way. Seiya arrives at him, but Saga is too powerful and leaves him half dead taking away all his senses so Ikki appears to the rescue of Seiya, Saga discovers that Ikki was not killed by Shaka but he realized that he was on the wrong side and saves the Phoenix's life with the help of Mu de Aries. Saga faces the Phoenix while Seiya goes to the temple of Athena managing to reflect with the shield the arrow that was nailed and of step reflects the gentleman of Gemini which returns to normality.

Athena returns to normal and decides to put things in order while Saga commits suicide with the scepter of Athena repented of all his actions and makes the evil caused by the double personality disappear so that he dies as the noble gentleman he was.

The history of the Swan: Natassia from the ice country

[](waasdddddddddwartgasaweawds)

Note: this story is exclusive to manga

Sinigrado (Blue Graad in the original version), is an ancient city whose warriors formed a powerful army that controlled the boreal regions during the mythological era. Close to this place, Hyōga, Holy of Swan bronze, is summoned to appear. There appear before him the Blue Warriors commanded by Alexer, son of Piotr ruler of Sinigrado. Alexer asks Hyōga to join the group of Blue Warriors, however Hyōga refuses and is defeated by Alexer's most powerful technique, the Blue Impulse.

In the dungeons of Sinigrado, Hyōga awakens and meets a beautiful girl who introduces herself as Natassia, daughter of Piotr and therefore, sister of Alexer. He tells Hyōga that five years ago Alexer was exiled from Sinigrado because of his intentions to wage war with the aim of conquering the southern lands, ideals completely opposed to those of his father Piotr, who was considered a man of peace. Now Alexer has returned with the Blue Warriors, ready to fulfill his objectives.

Unfortunately, while Natassia relates these facts to Hyōga, Alexer kills Piotr. Fortunately the small Jakov, friend of Hyōga, manages to infiltrate in the prison of Hyōga taking to him his armor. Alexer goes to Hyōga's cell, to ask him once again to join him to which he reiterates his refusal. Hyōga tries to make him desist in his plans to kill his father, but Alexer confirms that it is too late and leaves him in the hands of the blue warriors.

Hyōga is released from their chains and ends with the blue warriors and faces Alexer. This time the cold air of Hyōga is stronger and knocks down Alexer with his Diamond Dust. Alexer tries to counterattack with his blue Impulse, but this time Hyōga stops him with only one hand. Finally Hyōga completely defeats Alexer with the Execution of the Aurora.

Jakov brings news of Natassia, who has gone abroad, endangering her life due to low temperatures. Hyōga and Alexer come immediately and find Natassia frozen in a large glacier. Hyōga destroys the glacier, saves Natassia, and spares Alexer's life, who repents of his actions.

Hyōga tells Alexer that his mother was also Natassia.
