3)  Ugomeku mono no kage
     The shadows of the ones who struggle
     Le ombre di chi combatte

In a misterious castle Pandora is playing her arph.
While the angelical images generated by the music follows one another a Saint enters the room, takes off his helm and bends down.
"Miss Pandora."
"Is you, Rhadamantis?" she askes listlessly.
"Yes, Miss Pandora, Specter of Wyburn, Rhadamantis is here!"
"What do you want?"
"Please you must send me to Athena's Sanctuary."
"Leave this to the dying Saints!"
"What will they be uded for? Compared Athena's Saints with our Specters, ... they are just some ants! Please give the word to get me, Rhadamantis, to take the field. Only one hour, I'll get Athena's head. Please allow me to take the field."
"No!" Pandora stands up "Hades is a soft-hearted man! He will never allow any Specter of his to get hurts."
"But..."
"Rhadamantis, how do you think of Hades care?"
"No, nothing."
"So just be quiet and wait. Waiting more 12 hours we'll get Athena... without hurting any Specter."
"Yes..."
The arguments end, but Rhadamantis seems worried.

[The shadows of the ones who struggle]

At the sanctuary Mu is running up the steps to the second temple when, suddenly, he stops to refletct in front of the sundial.
"I really feel more relaxed with my master, your help. But what did you meanto say 'Keeping Athena safe for 12 hours'? 12 Hours before the fire at the belfry disappears... What after that?"
"Everything will be gone!" he imagines Libra's voice and he's worried.
"It can't be that Shion, Saga and the rest... No, it's not time to doubt. Aldebaran is still at Taurus. As long as he's there, all the intruders will be stopped."
Finally Mu starts running again.

Meanwhile, in Japan it's night and Shun is home alone, with Ikki's picture in his hand and a charm on his neck and he remembers about his childhood, when he was a few month old.
He's playing in his cradle while Ikki, a child, watches over him.
"Brother..." whispers Shun, now old, with a strange smile.
Suddenly, instead of child Ikki a little girl dressed in black appears, with a furious look (Pandora).
Shun is frightened and comes back to reality.
"Brother..." he cries gasping, then he looks to the pictire and gets calm. "Brother..."
"Where did brother Ikki go after the Sea-King Palace was destroyed?" he reflect while he jutes out of the balcony  "I know! Brother must be in safety, but... Right, don't know how about Seiya? It's heard that he went to Greece to ask Marin... about his sister Seika who disapperaed. Don't know whether he found her or not? I pray sincerily for that he find his sister Seika sooner. Seiya..."
Suddenly Shun has a bad feeling and the images of Athena Pandora and the twelves temple's battle slide in fronto of him.
Shocked he let the picture fall breaking the frame.
"It comes again! It feels like the Cosmos coming from the far Sanctuary." he reflects going on the ground  "What is the deviant Cosmos on earth? I have to get Sanctuary. Miss Saori still lives in Sanctuary."

At the same time Mur is entering in the second temple but the entry seems desert.
"Aldebaran... So weird! I can't feel the fight or the Cosmos at all... All the Gold Saints fight quietly like this?"
The he sees Torous's cloth and run towards it.
"Aldebaran! So glad that you're ok." Mur smiles to the cloth that is still compote as Aldebaran was stand up but after a while, he notices something strange.
"Aldebaran..."

Athena rises slowly from her couch, while Shaina is burning all the Sanctuary's tombs, helped by Nachi and Jabu.

"Aldebaran, you've wanted to protect Taurus's temple till you died, so you died standing?" reflect Mur dejected "Even you, the strongest of the Saints, ... couldn't deal with Saga and get them?"
A small piece of bright cosmo flies around Mur before it fall in his hand.
"This is the last Cosmos of Aldebaran..." thinks Mur watching Torus's cloth "The corselet on him is undamaged, and no any wounds... How did he die after all? Saga and the rest shouldn't have the power... It couldn't be..."
Mur thinks that maybe there is another enemy and actually:
"Right!" laughes a stranger voice "Not only Saga and the rest came here, ... Saga and the rest just passed by this guy who couldn't move at all. Of course getting him unable to move or ending his life, ... all of that were my masterwork! I, Niobe of Deep star of Dark Earth!"
Niobe enters arrogantly throwning Torus's cloth.
"It's just a piece of cake to end Aldebaran."
"You got Aldebaran..."
Niobe goes on laughing.

At Pandora's castle, Rhadamantis is angry and breaks a mirror with a fist.
"Obviously Miss Pandora doesn't know anything."
"Rhadamantis..." says a slimy being.
"Zelos?"
"That's right, it's me, Zelos of Diki Star." he tells laughing "According to your order, I've sent tens of Spectres to Sanctuary."
"Very good."
"It doesn't matter for sure?" says Zelos while Rahdamantis is leaving.
"What?"
"Sending out Spectres without Miss Pandora's permission. If someone find that, it's really troublesome.
"None of your business" replies Rhadamantis nervously "I don't trust those dying Saints at all! Now the most important thing is getting Athena's head."
"If you can, just try! Miss Pandora is a beauty, but also the most terrible guy! Back to the business, I'm really worried about you, Rhadamantis. How dare you say that you don't trust the Saints?" Zelos goes on joking.

At the meantime, outside the castle, some soldiers die because of the blows from Death Mask and Aphoride, strangely survived after battling with Mur.
"Idiot, get off!" exclaim Death Mask.
"We have something to talk with Mr Hades." adds Aphrodite. Obviously they are complaining about the treatment they had at the Sanctuary.
The castle's gate opens: it's Rhadamantis.
"You wise guy, what are you doing here?"
"I needn't answer you." replyes  Death Mask.
"We want to meet Mr Hades." explains Aphrodite.
"Mr Hades? Do you bastards qualify to meet him? The losers are unforgivable! Let me kick you back to your hell!"
"What are you saying?" rebuts Death Mask.
"If you can, just try." adds Aphrodite smelling a rose "Piranian Rozu!"
Black roses surround Rhadamantis that destroyes them with his thought.
"What's up?" Aphrodite is surprised.
"You're just the one who will go to the hell! Sekishiki Meikaiha!" says Death Mask, arrogantly.
"Kid's game!" comment Rhadamantis repelling the blow with his hand.
"Shit..." exclaim Death Mask shifting away.
"What a pitiful guy! Let me, Rhadamantis, one of the Three Giants of the Hell... send you to the hell with my forte technique!"
A dark hole propagates from Rhadamantis, hitting the two former Gold Saints, that are blown away in spite of they barriers.
"We'll be sucked into..." exclaims Death Mask, while Aphrodite screams.

They are in the Sekishiki.
"Where's here?" asks Aphodite, after he struggles to rise up.
"The entrance of the hell!" replies Death Mask worried.
"Right, you'll go to the hell from here." specify Rhadamantis,while appears behind them.
"Help..." whispers Death Mask resigned.
"No, I don't want to go to the hell now!" pleas Aphrodite, ready to run away.
They starts escaping.
"Don't run!" screams Rhadamantis, hitting them from behind.
They fall on the ground dying with the cloth damaged.
Rhatamantis reaches them walking and takes them up to the crater raising them.
"Stop..." is the last word from Death Mask.
"Please stop!" says Aphrodite gently.
"You've been useless for me! Go to die!" exclaim Rhadamantis throwing them in the crater.
They are defenetly dead now.
"You fool! Is this kind of guy the strongest Gold Saints of Sanctuary? Any soldier of Mr Hades is stronger than him. You want have the chance to leave the hell!" concludes Rhadamantis leaving indignant.

At the second temple a battle between Mur a Niobe is about to start.
"So it is, not only Saga, but also some Spectre of Hades had stolen on." observes Mu, gripping Torus's cosmos for the last time.
"Right, Saga and the rest were just the batmen for trying."
"Really?"
"What to you mean?"
"Maybe you are just the stumbling block!"
"Are you joking?" Niobe is tired of talking and is ready to strike, expanding his cosmo "I should send you to have a chat with Aldebaran now!"
"What does that sell?"
"Deep Fragrance!"
A wave of gas surrounds Mur, worried.
"My body was anaesthetized. My awareness is becoming more and more unclear! Aldebaran was killed just like this?" aksk Mur suffering "I must stop sucking in the smell."
"Don't waste your strenght. It will filter into you, even if you hold your breath. Your nerve center and body will get anaesthetized slowly. You will die within several seconds."
Slowly Mur's sight is blurred and his eyes extinguish, until he looses his senses and falls in death's abyss.
"Farewell, Mu! The Gold Saint is really frangible. I could get him so easily."
Niobe is leaving when an energetic barried appears in front of him.
"What's this? When is it here?"
Suddenly Mur appears behind the barrier and he hits him, letting him crash against a colon.
"What's this on earth?"
"The Crystal Wall! Nobody will go through this invisible wall." exclaim Mur, as he has not suffred from the last strike."Crystal Wall? You meant that my Kiss of Death was stopped by it, nothing useful?" asks Niobe, while Mur walks carelessly towards the exit "Wait, where are you going? We didn't finish our fight yet!"
"I don't think I can do anything with  dead man!"
"What? Who's the dead man? Say that clearly!" exclaim Niobe shocked.
"Did you think Aldebaran would be killed by you without any counterattack?"

During a flash back, Aldebaran is sat down in his temple and is playing with a flower. That flower is a present given to him by a little girl when he was walking with his friends Aioria and Mur.
"Here you are!" smiles the girl giving him the flower.
While he thinks about that Albebaran doesn't notice Niobe's presence.
The flower fades because of the poisoned gas and when Aldebaran turns back is too late: Niobe strikes is having effect on him.
Aldebaran is loosing his senses when he sees again the girl in danger.
"No... Great Horn!"
Before he dies, Aldebaran strikes back. Niobe believes to have blocked completly his strike and laughes.

"When you're hugging yourself on that Aldebaran was killed by you... your body had been hit by his Great Horn and would go to pieces." explain Mur.
"Shut up, I won't be like that..." rebut Niobe frightened, in a faint acute voice "It can't be..."
Niobe crushed on the ground traumatized and he dies broken up after a few second. Mur leaves without event turning back.
"Aldebaran..." he reflect crying "You've been dead, but you saved me. If I didn't discover the smell of your Cloth and the Cosmos... I should have jumped at the bait. Thank you, Aldebaran, your death won't be in vain! I'll protect Athena well. Just becoming the star in the sky and protecting us!"
Aldebaran's cosmo raises to the sky to rest in peace.

Meanwhile Shun has decided to leave to Grece and is running in the docks with the cloth box on his shoulders.
"Hurry! We have to hurry to get Sanctuary."
Some saints reach him furtivly.
"Who?" asks Shun alarmed.
"Would you like to go to Sanctuary?" replies the first.
"So glad to see your courage." replies.
"Who are you?"
"We are your enemies!" replies the third, appearing in front of him.
Shun leapfrogs him jumping the he stop runnig and turns back surprised.
"Why are you? Dio, Argeti, Sirius, didn't you die?"
"Thanks to Mr Hades, we relived again!"
"We are even more energetic than you. Would you like to prove that?" challenges Argeti, snapping his finger.
Argeti and Sirius rush over him but he avoids them.
"No, I don't want to fight. I don't want hurt anyone if it's possible."
"Shut up, take this!" says Dio kikking him.
Shun is falling but Argeti blocks him.
"Kornexolos!"
Shun flies until he blow against a crane. Before he touches the ground Sirius strikes too.
"Take my Red Fire Ray Punch!"
Shun falls breaking a wall.
"I don't want to force you. If you don't stop playing with me, only suffering will wait for you." ordina Sirius.
"I'm going to Sanctuary, no time to esitate." whispers Shun clenching is teeth while he rises up and expand his cosmo. "Seiya, Hyoga, Shiryu, and brother Ikki, Miss Saori are waiting for me! I mustn't slack off here alone."
The box opens and Shun wears his cloth, still damaged after the previous battles.
"Shun of Andromeda is here, if you want to die, just come on! But I don't want to hurt anyone."
"Do yu think that you will beat us with that dressing?" exclaim Sirius running towards him kike the two other.
"Nebula Chain!"
The three saints are easly knocked and fall badly on the ground.
"You are really awesome... In that case..." whispers Sirius smiling, as he believes he can rise up but actually he dies together with the other saints.

"Now that some Spectres have stolen on the twelve palace, I must... be careless. So I have to get Gemini Temple rapidly..." plans Mur while he runs up to the steps, when he stops to watch the temple surrounded by an enormous cosmo.
"What's this? The deviant Cosmos from Gemini. The place without anyone can't... More closer, more stronger. But that's not some enemy's Cosmos. Who is watching Gemini on earth?" asks Mur surprised.
At the meantime Saga, Shura and Camus are already in the third temple and surprisingly Gemini's cloth is in front of them, ready for the battle.
"Saga..."
"You go first!" orders Saga to Camus.
"But..." interrupts Shura.
"I'll deal with the rest. I never thought that he's still alive. And we still have the chance to meet face to face." replies Saga, who knows who is moving his old cloth (I would have preferred him to be dead instead of becoming a good one).
