Jayr POV - Atntis, Poseidon's Temple - 1987

  After Kanon, disguised as Sea Dragon disappeared, Ge, turn around and asks to Tethis in a calm tone "So... How we save Athena?", Tethis looks at us for a few seds the out a sigh and says "Ha... I'll now tell you, Athena is imprisoned within the Mainstay, having sacrificed herself to dey the destru of the earth, when the chamber inside fills with water, Athena will die, to save your Athena, you must destroy the mainstay, but you'll never be able to do that... Here surrounding Poseidon's Temple, are the pilr that supports the seven seas of the world, unless you destroy those seven pilrs first, you 't put so much as a cra the mainstay, which is the heart of Poseidon's Temple".

  Hearing that I think while hiding my grin 'Yes everything is like I remember... And using the Crateris Cloth's ability, I firmed that the other Marinas General are the same too, the only ohat ged is the Kraken one, as Isaak is now on our side...', meanwhile, Tethis tinues "Of course, each of the pilrs is guarded by one of our invincible Generals, obviously, you must take them down before you destroy the pilr... That's why I told you t the Gold Saints, you Silvers don't stand a ce against the Generals... But it's too te t them here now, the water ihe Mainstay is already up to Athena's knees, ha ha ha ha!".

  Seeing that she finished with her expnation, I turn to the others and says "Well you heard her... We have to divide, Ge, you go to the Pilr of the North Pacific", Ge nods and says "I'll destroy the pilr for sure...", then I say "Juan, the Pilr of the South Pacific is yours...", and Juan says "Yup, it will be a walk in the aquatic park...", I then look at Rigel and say "Teacher Rigel..." but he stops me and says "I'll take the Pilr of the Indian O...", and I nod while thinking 'He already uood my pn...', then I tinue "Agol, you go to the Pilr of the Antarctic O...", and I add "Be careful...", Agol remember the info I gave about the abilities of the General I knew and uand about what I was talking about, and after nodding a scoears on his face, appearing displeased with about his oppo.

  I tinue by looking at Isaak, who beats me to it and says "I know, the Pilr of the Arctic O, right?" and I simply nod, then I say "And I'll go to Pilr of the South Atntic...", and after everyone nel says "After haviroyed the Pilrs we'll meet back here, but be ready to give support to the others if needed...", and Agol adds "For some strange reason everyohinks that the Gold Saints are the only dangerous o kinda annoys me so it's time to show everyohe might of Athena's Silver Saints!", then I yell "Let's go!!", and we all disperse, quickly moving toward our objective at our fasted speed allowed while still serving the energy to fight.

  And after running for 20 minutes, I finally see the huge Pilr of the South Atntic, it is located on top of a hill to the west of the Temple of Poseidon, in an area apparently submerged, it is an area especially ri corals that form violet barriers up to six feet high and substantially surround the Pilr's area, anch to the base on both sides, and c a small part, these corals are the only visible walls to the right a of the Pilr.

  Other coral formations fnk the marble staircase leading to the square where the Pilr is located, posed of a tral corridor of square and blue sbs, and on the sides of the same color but with irregurly cut sbs.

  At the end of this open space, about twenty meters wide, is the plex of the Pilr, it is very simple pared to those I have seen iher os, but no less elegant and sculpted in white marble with lic refles, the Pilr rises on a base of a height of five or six meters, and ected to the ground by, surprise, another long flight of stairs without handrails 'For the love of Athena! Just how much did the author of Saint Seiya love long-ass stairs he puts them everywhere...!'.

  I look more closely at the Pilr and notice that the base is not perpendicur but oblique, and is divided into two or three tiers, each about oer high, each tier is recessed half a meter with respect to the one below, a bit like in the pyramids, and decorated with regur grooves aligned with those of the others, at the tht in the ter, there is a n fnked by two other ns parallel to each other, to form aisles.

  The ns of the inner nade are circur, and of a height of five or six meters, each covered by a square abacus, ft and with a thiess of a few timeters, those of the outer nade are visibly lower and abacus.

  [colpse]As I stand in front of the huge Pilr, I once agaihe familiar sound of a flute, and turning around, I see Siren Sorrento calmly walking toward me, theops pying his flute and says "You and Athena were right... There is definitely something wrong with Sea Dragon, we Mariners did indeed gather here on Lord Poseidon's will, his Divine o is emp us... But it is Sea Dragon who is calling all the shots in Lord Poseidon's name, and I saw how he easily let you go and even ordered Tethis to expin how to free Athena so that the flict would escate...", hearing that I smile and say "Yes, this is all Kanon plot, he awakened Poseidon before the destiime, and he is now keeping him in a half-awaked state so that he easily trol you, the Mariners... He hopes that Athena and Poseidoroy themselves so that he rule over the world, he is quite ambitious...".

  Sorrento nods, but he doesn't lower his guard, instead, he burns his o and says "And what it that you and Athena want?", spreading my arms wide I reply "Simple ead to save as many lives as possible, sihe fact that he wants te the whole humanity just because of a few rotten ones is too much of a drastic measure... But since Poseidon himself isn't an evil God, we think that we find a way to make Poseidon ge his stance... And if it doesn't work, we will just seal him back...".

  Sorrento nods and says "Very well, sihis war isn't Lord Poseidon's will, I will help you guys stop it", I nod at him and send a telepathic message to Kiki, and sooeleports o me with the Libra Pandora Box on his shoulders saying "Jayr here is the Libra Cloth!" theice Sorrento and hiding behind me he says "Oii! The enemy is still fine, why did you call me so soon!?", but I calm him down by expining that he is on our side, then the Libra Pandora Box opens, and the Libra Cloth reveals itself, and the moment, the golden nunchakus, fly toward me.

  I grab them and soohe immense power tained in them 'Yup... Made of the same materials as the Gold Cloths... Almost iructible, and able to easily destroy a star or a p!', I then ignite my o and make it explode to the max possible, and as a bright golden aura envelopes my body, I send my o into the nunchaku and run toward the Pilr, once close enough I swing it with all my strength, and as soon as the nunchaku hits the Pilr it explodes in a blinding golden light, with a loud sound akin that of a nuke exploding, the recoil of the impact alone would have pulverized the whole body of a normal man.

  Then once I see again, I notice the cracks expanding all over the Pilr, then with a loud rumble it starts to crumble into many pieces, at the same time I look at the totally undamaged nunchaku in my hand and say "Holy shit! That was crazy... No teique, just pure violence, and it works like charm...", at the same time I hear Kiki yells "You did it! You destroyed the Pilr of the South Atntiow only six remains!", then the Nunchaku flies ba the Cloth on it own and the Cloth reseal itself into the Pandora Box once his job is do the same time Sorrento asks "Now, what are you gonna do?", and I reply with "Now I'll go to the Pilr of the North Atntic, that is where Sea Dragon, Kanon is, right?", and he nods then he says "Then I'll make sure that to prepare the rest of the Mariners for the eventual colpse of Atntis...".

  Ge POV - Atntis, Pilr of the North Pacific - 1987

  After separating from the group, I move in the dire of my objective, the Pilr of the North Pacific, without stopping even for a moment, and quickly dealing with all the rankless Mariners I met on the way in the most effective way, while still trying my best to keep them alive 'I have no time to lose here, Athena is still in danger!'.

  And as the enviro around me ges, and the Pilr grows closer, from the distance I hear a loud rumbling sound, and at the same time, I feel the ground shaking, looking at the in of this sound, I see the Pilr of the South Atntic crumbling in the distance 'Jayr already destroyed his Pilr... Good! This is a good start, the faster we finish this, the more lives we are able to preserve!'.

  With renewed vigor, I once again run toward the Pilr that grows closer and closer, but I also look around and notice that now I'm surrounded by a great quantity of vegetation, it is some kind of algae there are also some other simir marine species in e and golden tones, and soon I clearly see the Pilr in the distance.

  It is located in a strip of nd bounded by a kind of pit or ravio reach it I must pass over a small bridge of stone and coral, the area before it is posed of a blue-gray stone sb, mostly covered by bluish coral, and on both sides of this area in a vaguely regur shape, about a 100 meters wide and 70 meters high, there are two hat limit it, formed by only three ns each topped by a horizontal block, of a height close to 10 meters high, these ns are drical, with the bases covered with coral and located at a distance of a few meters from each other.

  Behind the ns, I see clusters of corals and, in the distance, submerged mountains, and a few meters beyond the ns is the area where the Pilr that supports the North Pacific O is located, it is an open square, marble area, raised some three or four meters above the ground, which is ected by a flight of stairs without handrails, with each side covered with corals.

  Oher side of this square, perpendicur to the Pilr, are twe staircases 15 meters high, vaguely simir to those of cssical amphitheaters, surmounted by a series of circur ns, and about 3 meters from where the end of the staircase be seen there is a hat surrounds the Pilr on three sides, leaving only the front open.

  In the ter of this nade, exactly in front of the stairs that lead to the elevated floor, is the huge Pilr of the North Pacific, it is tens of meters high, with the upper part almost invisible as it plunges into the waters, and it sists of four ses, the first three are square, eaarrower than the lower one, separated by a sort of ices of fiohe fourth is drical and forms the bulk of the Pilr.

  The whole Pilr has a salmon pink color and the only or is o square and drical se, it is an eagle with wings spread and head cocked, surrounded by four croug lions, and seeing up close I 't help but say "It is almost a shame that I have to destroy this magnifit structure...".

  [colpse]But then I hear a voice that says "I 't let you do that, if you so much as scratch this Pilr, you will die, no matter how many lives you have", and finally I see my oppo, he is a young man with blue-green eyes and a peaplexion, with light brown, long, tousled hair, reag past his shoulders, wearing what is clearly the Scale of the Seahorse, an armor with maures of the Hippocampus, such as the fins on the arms, legs, and the eop and back of the helmet like headpied like all the Scales, the armor cover most of his body.

  Spoiler

  [colpse]Getting ready for the fight I ask "So you must be my oppo? I'm Southern Cross Ge, to who I have the pleasure to talk?", and my oppo replies "I'm the guardian of the Pilr of the North Pacifie of Poseidon's Seven Generals... Sea Horse Baian!!", then I feel his o raising as he says "If you want to destroy this pilr...", but I finish the senten his pce "I have to defeat you first, right?", and Baian asks with a fident smirk on his face "You think you , Southern Cross?".

  I do not reply, and decide to test the water using one of my weaker moves, I gather my o in my right fist and gee real lightning, then I thropercut aiming right above my oppo yelling "Wild Thunder!", sending an orb of lightning right above my oppo head from which many thunderbolts rains down the area around Baian, but I notice that there is some kind barrier around him defending him from my attacks.

  But I quickly realize the secret behind it, as it is the same teique as my fellow Silver Saint Misty, he is basically using the air current around him to gee a shield of wind currents, but since he is a lot faster than Misty, in fact, he is moving at near-lightspeed, his Wind Shield is alser and so able to easily withstand this level of attack, 'The Seven Generals are indeed almost parable with the Gold Saints... But the keyword here is almost...'.

  While I was thinking that, Baian e out of my attascratched and quickly moves behind me, he says "Don't you uand? Your moves are iive against me... Let me show you the differen our abilities!", he then trates his o as he bends his elbows and touches his shoulder pads with ched fists while inhaling a rge breath of air.

  Then with a blow powered by his os he creates a gust of hurrie wind, "God Breath!", with which he hits me and lifts my body into the air until I'm about to hit a wall, but I was already prepared for this, and s my body around, I use my legs to break the impad kig the wall, I lightly nd on the floor and ask "What are you the big bad wolf from the fairytales?", at the same time I think, 'This is bad... Juan's habit of saying silly things is rubbing off on me...'.

  While Baian still appears calm, his o says otherwise, and with a cold expression on his face, he says "I see... So you want to die so badly, well if that is what you truly want, then you shall have it... I'll give you death! Take this, Southern Cross! Sea Hreatest move!!", Baian then opens his arms in a cross and begins to trate his o.

  Soon after, the image of a Hippocampus appears behind him and two walls of salt water emerge at his sides, a, Baian raises his right arm and the walls of water bee torrents that pletely surround my body, then, he opens his right hand and gives a powerful blow to the air yelling "Rising Billow!!", geing a strong current that when joining with the water creates a violent tornado with which he lifts me to the skies.

  I feel my body impact the water above, that at this speed is like impag hard crete, but my body doesn't stop and keeps rising at tremendous speed, and at the same time, the pressure of the water damage both my body and my Cloth, until I jump out of the water and lose all the momentum making me crash ier once again, and as I floating oer, looking at the gloomy sky above and notig the cray Cloth while feeling pain all over my body, I say "Whoa, that hurts! He bsted me out of Poseidon's Realm, through the o, and all the way to the surface... That is some serious power... Still, it isn't enough!".

  And after taking a deep breath, I once again dive into the water, and go back to the square of the Pilr of the North Pacific, surprising Baian, who excims shocked "Southern Cross!! You! How did you get back here? I hit you with the Rising Billows a you live! How?", I burn my o to the max and say "You are not nearly as strong as a Gold Saint, Sea Horse Baian! And I'm going to prove that to yht now!".

  Baian notices that my o is surpassing his, but he still keeps calm and says "No matter how high you elevate your o to pee my defensive wall, you won't be able to inflict damage on me, not as long as I'm wearing this Scale, whose defensive power rivals that of the Gold Cloths...For you victory is impossible!", but I smile and say "I wonder..." then I make my o explode, and as the image of the Southern Cross appears behind me, I trate all my o to create an aura of electriergy around my body, after which I raise my left arm in the dire of Baian and yelling "Geistig Blitz!!", I release in front of me several electric beams by extending my hand in his dire.

  The beams are too fast for Baian to dodge and hits him in several pces, sending him flying aroying his Scale where he was hit, then he powerlessly crashes into the ground, and with his st strength, he says "It... it's still too early to celebrate...N-no matter how high you elevate your o, you'll never destroy the Pilr... Even a Gold Saint using all his strength wouldn't put a single cra it... In the end... We shall still be victorious... Heh...".

  But I calmly reply "Yeah, that is true... But repared..." then I send a message to the boy named Kiki and soon he appears with Libra Pandora Box, and uhe now wide open eyes of Baian, the Cloth reveals itself, and I expin "The Libra Cloth... Is the only Gold Cloth with ons... And these ons are s that only be used when Athena has willed it, and the Libra Saint has deemed that the cause is right... On their own, they have the power to destroy a star or a p...".

  Then from the Cloth, one of the shields es flying at me, I grab it, and without waiting for another moment, I burn my o, and use the with the haached to it, to swing it around and throw it at the Pilr of the North Pacific, then as the shield hits the pilr a blinding golden light explodes, and the loud sound of the impact is heard.

  I regain sight just in time to grab the shield that is ing back, but the power behind it is s that I skid for a few meters before stopping, then, I notice the expanding cra the Pilr, before with a really loud rumble, it starts to crumble into dust, and as the whole ground shakes, I also notice that some water is starting to fall from the sky, sign that Poseidon's Realm is weakening.

  I move closer to Baian and notice that he is now unscious, but still alive, so I grab his body and put it on my shoulders, and together with Kiki, we move back to the Temple of Poseidon, waiting for the others to e.

  Juan POV - Atntis, Pilr of the South Pacific - 1987

  As I'm about to reach my destination, I hear the sed rumbling sound, a sign that another pilr has fallen, then I focus bay objective 'Really the Crateris Cloth is almost unfair... We already know more or less what to expect, who our enemies are, and what are their teiques... Really the only real problem here is Poseidon himself!'.

  I'm finally close enough to see the location of the Pilr in full detail, it is located on a pin, at the end of a road paved with square and irregur blue stones, surrounded by tall corals a couple of meters high that rise above the stairs and above the base of the architectural plex, both the Pilr and the surrounding structures are light green in color.

  To reach it, I walk along a road a couple of meters wide, bordered i few meters by a portico of six ns on each side, to finally see the Pilr in all its splendor, its base is simple, it has a few steps at the beginning and then three other stairs that verge at the same point, a small patio, towards the top.

  On the upper level, there are only two rows of ns oher side of the pilr, all of them pin and simple, the pilr itself has a square se pedestal with a ging profile and then a circur and smooth se until its end with a small decoration in the middle, and the surrounding fauna and flora is no longer sht, with dark reefs close to the shades of the building.

  [colpse]Once, I'm close enough to the Pilr, I notice the figure of a beautiful woman, but that only makes me raise my guard, and I'm indeed right as soon I hear a male voice that says "Ho ho ho... Already, prepared to be attacked at any moment... That attitude will keep you alive a little longer...", at the same instant, the figure of the woman ge and it bee a monster with six wild beasts attached to its lower body, and the moment, the beasts are rushing at me, so I burn my o, and raise my shield to defend myself from the attacks.

  After feeling 8 heavy impay shield, the woman figure disappears, and I hear the sound of footsteps and the same voice as before that says "Heh... Your instinct sure is good even taken by surprise you are able to defend against all the blows...", l my shield I finally see my oppo, he is a young man, with fine, elegaures that be categorized as handsome, he has tousled pink hair, which appears to be short in the front but shows shoulder-length hair behind his back, and his eyes are an e tohat creates a py of reddish tones with his pink hair and the gold-e of his Scale, about his Scale, is asymmetrical and difficult to describe, the parts representing the animals give it a different style from the others, I'm only able tnize a few like the bat wings on his back, the bear on his legs, and the wolf on his headpiece.

  [colpse]Seeing him I cp my hand and say "Bravo! Good entra had a lot of pathos... But why the woman? Do you have some hidden desire? You know if you really want to ge, I heard that in Taiwan you do a little operation for it... By the way, I'm Scutum Juao destroy that Pilr!", then my oppo introduces himself with a little of anger in his voice "I'm the general who guards the Pilr of the South Pacific... Scyl Io! Scutum, this pce will bee the site of your death!".
