So this is the prologue of this fanfic, which is mostly to cover up the plot holes of the ECS arc. And the celestial spirits are in their eclipse forms. In the past. Please don't hate me.

WARNING: This fanfic includes angst.


The usually feisty golden horned ram spirit sat down onto the dull floor of the Spirit World as she and Virgo, Aquarius and waited nervously for the golden clad lion spirit to come back. It has been around an hour since he left...

Three days in the human world.

"Hope Leo is alright... It wasn't even necessary..." She thought.

Even though the Human World have a lot of Ethernano...

There's almost no hope.

Suddenly, with a whoosh, the lion spirit was laying on the ground, sweating as he panted heavily with wide eyes.

Aries, Aquarius and Virgo raised up their heads

Sure he was wounded and battle worn...

But alive nonetheless.

They stood up and ran to Leo.

"Leo-Kun, a-are we..."

"The punishment wasn't that bad... right?"

"Please be all right, Leo."

The three shot out question after question...

yet Leo wasn't responding at all.

They all stopped asking questions as Leo stood up.

"I lost," he whispered.

"H-huh?"

"I said," he started as he faced the three other spirits. Aquarius, Virgo and Aries gasped.

"I lost," he finished as he stared at them.

His face showed no emotion.

At all.

His face didn't show embarrassment,

His face didn't show frustration,

Just...

Nothing.

"We can never be free. We are forever chained to the chains of slavery," he said as he walked away, back facing them.

"Leo..." Started Virgo.

They paused.

Something was missing.

They all gasped when they realised.

"H-How could h-he do that?" Whispered Aquarius, trying to hold back tears.

"Of all the punishments... This one's the worst..." Whispered Virgo, one tear slipping out.

"T-that was what made him physically Leo the Lion... Why... Out of all of us, why does he have to recieve this?!" said Aries, absolutely crying now.

"Even if he has god like powers... He's a monster..." they sobbed as Leo walked away.


My head-canon is that the eclipse celestial spirits are the past forms of the current forms. Why is that? A lot of people says that most of the eclipse celestial spirits look like what they should look like, and Hishui says that they've turned into the eclipse celestial spirits because of the dark magic of the eclipse gate, but I disagree. After all, why does the celestial spirits have an eclipse form in the first place, and all the eclipse gate can do is some shit about time, and it can't even fire a damn cannon! So this is what supports my head-canon. Also, this fanfic is after the ECS arc. Go ahead. Tease me all you want on the comments section.

Comments are always welcome.

Even rotten veggies.
