( The clock was ticking as Sara and Seiya's groups ran as fast as they could with the help of  Shian's group. To try to reach Saori/Athena and defeat Crona. Meanwhile, Koga's group had reached Crona before then and had engaged her to try and save Saori. Sadly,  Crona had proven to be far too powerful for them alone. They were however partially saved by  Shoko and  Kyoko's group But even that did not help them. It had only prolonged their defeat. They could only slump against a wall or lay on the ground battered and bruised as Crona made her way over to  the chained-up Saori)

" ( Slowly walks toward Saori). You each put up a good fight,  I had hoped that two famous  Pegasus users would be able to at least give me a warm-up.  But alas, it seems that I will have to wait for the legendary Sagittarius Seiya to give me what I want." Said  Crona as she walked toward  Saori. " ( Struggles to get up with  Shoko doing the same and looks at Crona). G-get a-aw-away from Lady Saori." Said  Koga as he and Shoko tried to get up. " Oh,  still has some fight left in you eh? ( Smiles and then looks at  Saori before smiling). Then show me the extent of your Equuleus and pegasus saints." Said  Crona with  Glee as  Koga and Shoko ran at her with Kyoko and the rest of their groups quickly joining in.

( Over with Sara and Seiya's groups)

" Glares at  Moragan, Marisa, and Oberon along with a dark saint with demonic wings).  You three again. Did I send you packing last time? I guess what  Shoko said was right. Some enemies do have to be beaten twice,  but where Lilith." Said  Sara. " That is for us to know and for you to find out.  However, you will not get that chance." Said  Moragan. " She will if we deal with you. ( Looks at  Marin, Sara, and Seiya). You three need to go now,  I can feel more of these dark saints headed this way. Bridget and Kathy are nearby so we'll  be fine,  go get Saori." Said  Shaina as her group, and  Sieya's group  attacked  Moragan, Marisa, and Oberon." Thank you, auntie Shaina." Said Sara as she,  Seiya, and  Marin ran to reach  Saori. " ( Smiles at being called auntie). Sure then hun." Said  Shina with a smile as she attacked  Marisa.

( With Koga and Shoko)

" Uses her power to bind Koga and Shoko along with their teams while smiling at Saori). It seems like I was asking for too much from the new generation. ( Shakes her head with her eyes closed). Oh well, I was able to get some enjoyment from this thanks to your daughter. It's too bad that she won't be able to save her mother like she did her father. ( Opens her eyes and then raises her left hand as a dark energy claw appears while Koga and Shoko's groups are yelling  NO). Goodbye, Athena." Said  Crona as she quickly brings down her clawed hand only to then suddenly get a hard kick to her face after hearing the faint sound of someone yelling Equuleus Kick and then being sent flying across the ground fifteen feet away.

( Koga and Shoko's group now free from  Crona's binding slowly stand up and look at where Saori was only to see that she is gone. It wa only the gasp from  Kyoko that got everyone's attention. For when they looked in the same direction as her. They began to smile at seeing that it was  Sara holding Saori in a bridal carry)

"  (  Smiles at her mother). Sorry we're late mom. You would not believe the people that we had to get through." Said Sara with a smile. "  ( Places her hand on  Sara's cheek). It's alright dear. I know that you would come to save me. You have your father's tenacity and unwavering drive to keep going." Said  Saoir as Sara set her on the ground which allowed her to stand on her feet with  Seiya and  Marin running over to them. " I'm glad to see that you're safe  Saori." Said Marin as she and Seiya hugged Saori. " I'm glad as well  Marin. All three of you. I knew that you all would come to save me." Said Saori until she, Mari, and Seiya were suddenly pushed out of the way of a dark spear as it crashes where they once stood. " ( Grits her teeth at the fact that she had missed her target). Tch, I missed, no matter. ( Looks at  Kogo,  Shoko, and their friends ). I just have to get them instead. (n Throws multiple spears at them only to watch as a silver blur suddenly grabs each and every one of Koga and  Shoko's friends before looking at the blue to see that of a pegasus as it disappears to show Sara holding  Koga and Shoko). Ah yes,  you. The newest of the Pegaus saints. ( Watches  Sara set  Koga and  Shoko down next to their friends who are all next to  Seiya, Marin, and Saori). But something's different about you. Your father and the other two only utilized the power of the pegasus but you." You seem to inherit its power, almost like you're. (Thinks back to her attack on Sanctuary and then to how the pegasus flew down and saved  Sara when she was a baby and then flew off before widening her eyes in shock). Lilith, Dark  Seiyas, to me now." Said  Crona as  Lilith and three dark versions of Seiya walks up behind her.

( True Dark Seiya's) 

" You called for us  Mylady." Said  Lilith as she stares at  Sara."  Indeed I did. ( Looks at the dark seiya's). It seems that you three are not the only embodiments of a pegasus. ( Points to  Sara). Unlike her father and the other three Pegasus who only utilize the power of the Pegasus. She embodies it.  for I have just not realized something. ( Looks at  Sara). Unlike my clones of your father. You are a pegasus, aren't you? That's why I felt so much power from you when you were a baby.  Through your mother's power that you inherited. You have become a pegasus in human form. ( Notices Sara glaring at the clones of her father). Your reaction to seeing three clones says it all,  but mainly, the clone in the center of the group. Since he was the one to try and take you away before your celestial parent saved you." Said  Crona as  Sara glares at him.

" That's why she's able to use both the Equuleus and the Pegasus. They used the birth of Sara to bring a pegasus to earth. Sara is the only pegasus to be born on earth." Said  Shriyu. " So you're telling me that Sara is an actual human Pegasus." Said Maii. "Soon to be a dead Pegasus.  RYU SEIKEN! ( Launches a barrage of dark Cosmo energy-like spheres at Sara only for her to watch as she smacks everyone one of them away from her family and friends). Wha-what the,  there no way. "  ( Riase her hand behind her toward  Seiya). Dad, the pegasus wants you to have this armor. Since you were the first to show its power to the world. It wants you to have this. Shoko, Kyoko, and Koga,  you three will be replenished. The Pegasus and Equuleus want you four to handle the dark Pegasus users. ( Looks at Crona). The defiler is mine." Said  Sara. " So you are a pegasus. Your choice of words proves that. Very well, show me what you can do. Lilith deal with   their friends." Said  Crona as she and her dark pegasus clones flew at Sara, Seiya, Koga, and  Shoko.  "It will be my pleasure, my lady. " Said Lilith as she runs at  Marin and  Kyoko's group only for the to of them to get in front of her. 

" You gotta get through us first  Lilith." Said  Marin. " We still need to finish our fight from earlier. " Said  Kyoko as she and  Marin ran at Lilith who in return ran at them.
