Setting: Three months after the battle with Artemis.

~Chapter 1: Athena's Deal ~

He stood quietly,not moving an inch for the past few hours. His short fringe covered his eyes,but anyone could see that he had been crying. "Kiki,"a voice called. The red-haired boy turned,and saw a slim,red-haired woman wearing a mask covering her face.

"Good afternoon,Marin-san," the boy greeted politely,forcing himself to smile.

Marin sighed. "Kiki,it's been two hours and you haven't eaten for the past few days. You should return to the Aries Temple right now."

Kiki turned back to look at the enormous statue. The enormous rock statue of the gold saints' souls.

Marin sighed some more. "Look,Kiki,I know that you are upset of your master's death but look up to the bright side. The Holy War is over. Your master Mu and the rest of the gold saints didn't die for nothing. They were true warriors,that sacrificed in battle."

For a brief moment neither of them said anything. But then Kiki smiled faintly.

"You're right,Marin-san. I'm sorry for making you worry so much," the little boy said.

The silver saint nodded. "Come now. You're the next Aries gold saint,aren't you? You need to have some training."

Kiki glanced back to have one last look at the statue,then ran over to Marin and they both walked towards the Twelve Temples.

Saint Seiya~

That night Kiki slumped into his bed. The training was tough. When he was still with Mu he had received basic training on combat skills and telekinesis, so he did a more advanced one these days, which leads to much exhaustion.

When he was about to close his eyes,he felt something. Two cosmos,without doubt. But whose? One belonged to Athena,he was sure of that. But the other one...it felt strangely familiar...it felt like it belonged to Thanatos last time he and Jabu's team encountered while protecting Seika. However,this cosmo was slightly different. It was calmer,yet more powerful. Neverthless it had the same death aura. Could it be...?

The little boy jumped out of bed and rushed outside. The moon shone brightly. The stars twinkled and glowed. The faint breeze caressed his hair. Kiki ran where he thought the cosmo was at it's strongest. Much to his surprise, it led him to the Colisseum,where the statued gold saints were. He saw two figures talking underneath,and decided to investigate. He hid behind a huge boulder and listened.

"Yes,I know,Hades," a woman's voice said. It was obviously Athena. Did she just say Hades? What was she planning with the King of the Underworld? But now Kiki knew the owner of the mysterious cosmo. It was Hades, just as he expected. No wonder he had the same death aura as Thanatos. Both were gods of death.

"So do you agree with this deal? I revive your gold saints,and you help me in defeating the enemy," Hades said.

"Your enemy is my enemy as well,Hades," Athena stated, "I cannot let the humans get killed because of them,therefore I will assist you."

"So be it. By dawn your gold saints will be revived,and when the time comes we shall fight them."

Kiki couldn't believe his ears. Wait a minute...Hades? That's Hades? But how? He's gone. His body is destroyed. So how...? And that enemy he was talking about. Who are they? "-and when the time comes we shall fight them," he said. He said the word them as if they were the biggest threat on Earth.

"Agreed," Kiki heard Athena say. As soon as she said it,Hades's body turned into black mist,and disappeared.

"Kiki,I know you're there," Athena said without turning her back.

Kiki blinked, and jumped out of his hiding spot before running over to her. "I'm sorry,Saori-san," Kiki said apologetically, "I didn't mean to spy ."

Saori turned and smiled. "It's okay."

"Hades," Kiki started, "why is he still alive? What are my Lady and him agreeing on? Who's the enemy? What's going to happen? Athena,are you planning to revive the gold saints?"

Saori sighed. "Yes. We had a deal. He would revive the gold saints,and we shall help him in the next Holy War." The Next Holy War. Kiki didn't like the sound of that.

"A new war is coming," Athena continued, "I need any possible help I can get. After Hades' defeat and Artemis' war, Zeus thought that they should be revived again and claimed that there will be no more war among the Olympians. However,we had a bigger problem. The Titans are returning. As you know,Kiki,the gods weren't the only ones that have immortality. The Titans do as well. When the gold saints defeated them seven years ago,they weren't really dead. They were injured,of course,but not dead. All this time they were resting *at the depths of Tartarus while storing and gathering more power for their next rise on Earth."

Kiki gulped. "And so NOW they're returning? THAT'S the Holy War you and Hades have been talking about?"

Athena nodded miserably. "The Titans didn't only attack Earth,but they invade the Underworld and Olympus as well. Obviously Hades didn't like it, and we, along with Poseidon, plan to destroy them once and for all."

"Poseidon was also revived?"

"Yes."

"What about the other gods? Do they help?"

Athena sighed...again. "Enough questions for now,Kiki. You need to go back and rest. I will go and tell Marin to gather all of the saints to assemble in the Pope's Hall at seven o'clock sharp tomorrow will discuss this further then."

Kiki hesitated. He didn't want to leave. He wanted to hear more. But then it was an order from Athena,and she wasn't in a good mood, so it would be wise to obey. He gazed at the statue.

"Right away,Saori-san," Kiki said,bowing his head. He was one of the few who could call Athena "Saori-san".

Athena smiled. "Thank you,Kiki. Try not to worry about this too much. Now go. I hope you haven't forgotten that it's still nightime."

Kiki chuckled,and bowed once more before leaving for the Aries Temple.

Saint Seiya~

The next morning...

"WAAAAAAH!" Kiki screamed and fell out of bed. "Strange dream," he thought. Well indeed it really WAS a strange dream. Athena making deals with Hades. Hah. Even if the world flipped up-side-down it would never happen.

Kiki got up and took a bath. After dressing,he headed towards the kitchen to make breakfast. Just as he was about to enter, he stopped dead.

Inside,preparing breakfast,was none other than his own master,the true Aries gold saint...who had died destroying the Wailing Wall.

He rubbed his eyes and blinked several times to make sure that it wasn't an illusion, but when he focused his eyes again,his master was still there.

"...Mu-sama...?" he said softly. Then he remembered the conversation he had with Athena yesterday. Hades. Holy War.The Ressurection. Everything. His eyes heated. Guess it wasn't a dream after all.

Mu noticed him standing in the doorway, and smiled the warm smile Kiki had missed for a long time.

"MU-SAMAAAAA!" Kiki burst into tears,and hugged the gold saint.

For a moment there was a shocked expression on the Aries' face,but then his eyes softened. "I missed you,Kiki," Mu said softly,warmth in his voice. Hearing that,Kiki cried even more. "You're alive...! I missed you too!"

Just then the door opened,and a tall man came in. "I'm sorry for interrupting, but Marin-san said I should call you. It was almost seven and you were the only one who haven't arrived in the Pope's Hall,Mu."

"ALDEBARAAAN!" Kiki beamed,and tackled the giant with a hug.

"HAHAHA! Nice to see you,kid!" Aldebaran laughed.

Mu smiled. It was nice to be able to laugh again after a long time being sealed when you died. BUT. They were not revived to have fun. They were not revived to relax. They were revived because another war is coming. He didn't know what was going on,but it sure wasn't anything pleasant...
