Title : Follow Hades ! p8 : In Giudecca, Athena has just arrived. <2> Hades : "At last, you appear, Athena. "So as to offer me yourself your life.." <9-2> Shaka : "Athena ! Please leave now. It's dangerous ! Shaka will get rid of Hades. <9-3> Athena : "You mustn't. Is not that man, Shun ?" <9-4> Shaka : "You're wrong.. he isn't Shun any more.. !" p10 : The real Shun is already dead so it only remains to them to destroy Hades. But Athena holds his fist back, telling him he wouldn't destroy Hades easily even if he hit him now. She tells him he'd better not intervene, and then she goes upstairs to Hades. Shaka warns her not to go closer otherwise she will be killed. p12 : Hades and Athena looks at each other. <3> Athena : "Hades, I came here to request something from you" Hades : "A request .. you said ?" Suddenly Athena kneels down and implores him to stop the Greatest Eclipse. Hades is a bit surprised and amused by the situation. p14 : He reveals her the Greatest Eclipse has already begun. Now, nobody can stop it. She tells him she knew this, that's why she requests him to stop it. She proposes her life in exchange. Hades agrees. p16 : Pandora's spear moves itself to Shaka. Hades asks him to kill Athena with it. <17-1> Hades : "What's the matter ? I'm telling you to sacrifice Athena's life in order to save Earth." "You are not going to pierce her with pleasure ?" <17-2> Shaka : "Huu.. hu..." "I will pierce with pleasure" <17-3> "If it's you Hades !!" Shaka throws the spear towards Hades. p18 : But Athena intercepts it. She drops it but Hades picks it up with his power. He will pierce her. She tells him she won't move. p20 : Yet she stopped the blade with her hand, although it cut her. Hades asks her why. She tells him to stop the eclipse. As long as he doesn't, she won't let someone die ! Neither Shaka nor Shun ! She burns her cosmo. p22 : She tells him she has the duty to protect the life of every living beings. That's why she received life on this world ! Her blood is flowing on the spear. <23-1> Hades : "Muooo ! What is this ? It's hot like fire !" "Athena's blood is hot !" Suddenly Athena feels that the lost cosmo of Shun is reviving again in his body. So she encourage him to expel Hades from his body. p24 : Hades can't stay, his soul leaves Shun's body. p26 : His soul is, now, floating in the air. <27-1> Hades : "Muu .. It's impossible .." "Shun's body has rejected my soul .." "Has not it been decided that Shun must become my present body !?" "So why that ?" p28 : Athena tells him he's wrong : Shun is born to be Andromeda Saint, not to become Hades' body ! Now that Shun has been woken up by her hot blood, there isn't room for Hades anymore ! So he should give up : it wasn't his time to rebirth. He doesn't have a real body where he could revive. She tells him it's no need to fight any further, he'd better stop the Greatest Eclipse and then sleep again. But Hades refuses. p30 : His soul leaps on Athena. He wants to destroy her body. She throws the spear out to him. p32 : A big explosion occurs. p34 : A moment later, Seiya comes in and finds Shun (with his cloth ! Very strange). Shun wakes up but can't answer to Seiya's question about Athena. He tells him all Cosmo disapeeared by the back of the room. p36 : They moves upstairs to the back of the room where a huge wall is. But there is no sign of neither Athena nor Hades ! They looks at the wall and Seiya wonders what it is. Someone answers it's the last land of the Hell : the wailing wall. p38 : They turns back and notices Shaka. Shaka tells them Athena disappeared with Hades beyond the wall. Seiya suggests them doing the same immediatly, but Shaka replies it's impossible to cross it if you're not a god. Seiya suggests to destroy it but Shaka reveals he has already tried several times. There is no way ! p40 : But Seiya doesn't give up. They have to deliver her cloth to Athena so that she could kill Hades. Conversely, in the present situation, Athena will be killed. Seiya asks Shaka what there is beyond the wall, since it's the last land of the Hell. Unfortunately, Shaka doesn't know. Suddenly a premonition enters his mind : Beyond the wailing wall is .. p42 : Elysion !

He plans to burn his cosmo to the top level and then to throw his body against the wall. p46 : Shun tries to persuade him it's absurd.

Seiya falls uncounscious. Shaka tells he had just remembered something he heard long before. p50 : In order to destroy the wailing wall, the Sun light is needed. Unfortunately it never happened that the Sun light entered in the deepest place of the Hell ! It's absolutely impossible. Yet Athena having followed Hades to Elysion, Earth being about to change into a dark world by the Greatest Eclipse, they may have to risk their lives. Shun is astonished to discover Shaka hit Seiya only to try himself to destroy the wall. There is little energy waves which escape from Athena's cloth. p52 : On Cocytos. Four Specters finds Valentine's dead body. They suppose it's the work of Pegasus because there is noone where they buried him.

A moment later, ice aroud them breaks. p56 : Gold Saints have been revived ! They kill Specters. p58 : Shaka is burning his cosmo in order to destroy the wall but he only gets more injuries. Shun tells him it's no use, so he'd better stop but Shaka persists. Then someone, entering the room, tells him to stop it. p60 : This is Old Master - Libra Dohko ! He tells Shaka that a man like him mustn't get an unnecessary death. 3 others persons agree with Dohko's words. p62 : These are Milo, Aioria and Mu ! <2> Mu : "Shaka .. the string of 108 beads I kept in custody.. Now I give you it back here." <3> : "Look ! The color of so many beads has already changed" : "As for dying, it should be after we colour each of these 108 beads <4> Shaka : "Mu ..." Suddenly Dohko remembers something : <63-3> Dohko : "Of course .. We can destroy the wailing wall !" Next Chapter : Union ! Gold Clothes. =============================================================================== Summary of Saint Seiya Manga 26 - Chapter 3. Version 1. May 13th 1995. By : Carene Veanc,on. And : Jean-Luc Leger. Title : Union ! Gold Clothes. p64 : <1> Dohko : "If we combine the power of Gold Saints, even producing Sun light isn't impossible !" <65-1> Bronze Saints : "Huh ? Sun light, here .. ?" <65-2> Seiya : "(you mean) we can produce sun light if we combine Gold Saints' power ..." Shun : "Old Master, that .. how ?" <65-3> Dohko : "Hum.. Have you forgot ?" p66 : "Gold Saints' constellations are all on the ecliptic" "Ecliptic is the way where sun moves every year" "You understand ?" "12 Gold Cloths put in the order Sun goes through, basks evidently in the sun abundantly since mythological times !!" "Sun power is stored boundlessly into Gold Cloths !!" p68 : Dohko wants they, Gold Saints who have the Sun light, increase their cosmo to the top level. Then if they throw up their lives together they will certainly display a power comparable to a little sun. He gives his friends his weapons. p70 : Mu receives a sword, Shaka a tongfar, Milo a twin rod, Aioria a spear and Dohko takes a shield. Then they burn their cosmo... p72 : and throw weapons and lives all together to the wailing wall. A light appears ... p74 : Meanwhile on Earth .. In Sanctuary Jabu, Nachi and Ichi notice an eclipse is beginning. They thinks it is ominous in a such moment. Shaina tells them not to say stupid things while Seiya & Co are fighting. Suddenly, someone rejoins them, saying it's possible that sun won't be worshiped any more. Bronze Saints and Shaina are amazed. p76 : The newcomer is Marin. Shaina asks her where she was. Marin tells her not to get angry. Then she asks her if she doesn't think this eeclipse is strange. She reminds her Sun is the most hated thing for Hades. Shaina understands Earth would be put in complete darkness if it happens Marin is right. All of a sudden, like a shooting star flies away from Sagittarius Temple. And it is not only from it : p78 : From Aquarius Temple, Capricorn Temple, Taurus Temple and also from Cancer Temple and Pisces Temple. Every dead Gold Saints' soul are coming to assistance in Dark World. p80 : Back in Giudecca, the wailing wall is still intact. Gold Saints failed. Seiya asks Dohko to let them try but Dohko replies it would be useless. If the wailing wall really forms the boundary of the Hell and Elysion, it may be absolutely impossible to destroy it with human powers. Seiya reminds him they succeeded in destroying the main breadwinner in Poseidon realm by that way. Yet Dohko tells him again it would be useless. For him, their only hope would be that 12 Gold Saints were complete ! p82 : That's precisely what happens : the coming of 6 other Gold Clothes. Now they are all in Dark World ! p84 : Moreover Gold Clothes produce resonance. p86 : At the same time, Kanon notices his cloth is also resonant. He understands other Gold Clothes are calling his, so he wonders if they all gathered in Dark World. Anyway by looking at his Cloth, he understands he must hurry. Nevertheless, Radamanthys arrives saying he won't let him go ! Kanon reveals him that their defeat is close. p88 : Then he removes his Cloth. Radamanthys is astonished. Kanon explains he gives back to his brother a thing he don't know need any more. He orders Gemini Cloth to fly away to other Gold Clothes. p90 : Kanon looks at it flying away thinking "Farewell Gemini .. I entrust it to you, Saga !" Then he turns back towards Radamanthys. Now they will fight to death ! Radamanthys attacks first with Greatest "Caution". p92 : He injures Kanon several times. Without his cloth Kanon is no more protected. Radamanthys asks him if he intended to win. Kanon replies he didn't, he only intended to make him his companion. Then Kanon puts his arms aroud Radamanthys' shoulders and while they go up, Kanon adds : "My companion to Death !" p94 : Kanon releases his Galaction Explosion which strikes them together. Shiryu and Hyoga notice this raising star and understand it means Kanon's death. p96 : Galactian Explosion ! p98 : At that time, Gemini Gold Cloth has arrived at Giudecca. It breaks up in parts. So do other Gold Clothes. p100 : 12 Gold Saints are all revived ! p102 : In order from left to right : Cancer DeathMask, Gemini Saga, Capricorn Shura, Sagittarius Aiorios, Taurus Aldebaran, Pisces Aphrodite and Aquarius Camus ! p104 : The 5 alive Gold Saints are amazed that their fellows although they are only souls, are about to fight for Athena, justice and love of the Earth ! Suddenly, Aioros takes his arrow and points it towards the wall. p106 : Dohko orders Seiya and Shun to leave the room because Gold Saints are going to concentrate all their cosmo and then to release it in Aioros' arrow ! This will lead to make a small scale sun's light, a tremendous destructive wave will fill the room and destroy the wailing wall. Dohko reminds them their mission : to give her cloth back to Athena. Dohko adds that it's impossible for normal persons to cross the wall. He doesn't know if they would be pushed back or throwed up in space but they wouldn't cross. Yet he thinks Bronze Saints can do it. p108 : It's because they are wearing a cloth that has been bathed in Athena's blood. Now their body are soaked with a Godess' blood ! Dohko explains them the war against Hades which lasts since mythological times may end soon. Hades' real body is sleeping in Elysion. As he doesn't want his body to be injured, Hades chooses borrowing bodies like Shun's. p110 : Dohko orders them again to leave the room. They agree and leave. "At that time ..." "I had an impression, as if 12 Gold ones smiled .." "like our brothers ..." "Yes we fought together since mythological times." "Weren't we brothers ? .." "Now, time is coming to say good bye to these brothers ..." "Farewell hot blooded warriors ..." "Farewell Gold ..." "Saints ..." p112 : Gold Saints form a circle and begin to concentrate all their life and soul, and to burn their Gold Cosmo. p114 : They release this energy on Aioros' arrow. "1 gleam in this dark world" p116 : Seiya and Shun wait outside. Minos arrives and orders them to move over from the door. As they don't move over, he hits them and opens the door. p118 : Unfortunately the big explosion occures at that time !

They notice something shining far away. p132 : Meanwhile, in the other way of the tunnel, Shiryu faces 3 Specters : Alraune Queen, Minotauros Gordon, Basilisk Sylphid. They tells Shiryu they won't let anyone go in Elysion and orders him to move over. Shiryu replies : "If you want to pass by, you have to kill me ..." Specters answer : "Do you plan to confront us 3 alone ? p134 : They attack him all at the same time and bring him down. Suddenly a blade cut their helmet (mask). p136 : It's Shiryu's Excalibur. Shiryu is ready to die. Back to Seiya, Shun and Hyoga. They understand Elysion is in the direction of the light. p138 : Seiya and Shun jump in space but Minos' reappearance behind him, stops Hyoga from doing the same.

Next Chapter : The way to Elysion. =============================================================================== Summary of Saint Seiya Manga 26 - Chapter 5. Version 1. May 20th 1995. By : Carene Veanc,on. And : Jean-Luc Leger. Title : The way to Elysion. p140 : Minos orders Hyoga to move over and gets ready to fight and force the way. p142 : But he's stopped by an ice wall. Hyoga explains it's an alternate form of the freezing coffin that is said to be impossible for even GoldSaints to destroy ! Minos doesn't believe him and strikes the ice wall. p144 : Yet Minos succeeds in piercing it. Seiya and Shun tells Hyoga to jump too, but the latter replies it would be useless : if he jumps, Minos would be able to aim and hit them. So he prefers to stay and keep the way with his body. Minos threatens him to kill him first if he bothers him. p146 : Hyoga attacks with Diamond dust Minos repulses with one hand. Hyoga is brought down by his own attack ! <147-2> Minos : "You haven't understood yet ? Things like your frozen blow are not valide on me ! <147-3> : "Come on, get up !" Hyoga : "U..uu.." <147-4> Minos : "If you don't get up, I'll lift you up !" p148 : Minos is using Cosmic Marionettion on Hyoga to make him do a deadly dance. p150 : In the space, Shun and Seiya suffer from pressure. Moreover they drift in the opposite direction to Elysion. Shun is carried away from Seiya. The latter wonders if it's possible to go to Elysion. p152 : Suddenly 2 wings grow on his cloth allowing Seiya to catch Shun. p154 : Seiya understands these wings were part of the original Pegasus cloth and have been pulled out by Athena's blood. Now they can move towards Elysion so they don't wait any longer and fly to the big light. In the tunnel, Hyoga has just turned Minos' threads into ice. Now that he noticed Shun and Seiya are safe, Hyoga can also go. He raises his arms above his head. p156 : And releases the power of the Aurora Execution which hits Minos. Hyoga takes advantage for jumping in space. p158 : Yet Minos succeds in linking them with one thread. He's about to attack Hyoga when something strange occurs. Pressure acts on him and, a moment later, Minos explodes... p160 : leaving Hyoga alone. That's why non-gods can't go to Elysion. Bronze Saints wearing godess' blood-soaked clothes are protected. p162 : At the entrance of the tunnel, Shiryu falls down again. The 3 Specters tell him to move over but Shiryu replies, again, that if they want to pass by they'll have to kill him. Queen decides to get rid of Shiryu alone.

I'm not sure whether "he" is a man or woman :( ] Queen thinks he has cut Shiryu's head so he suggests his friend to go. p166 : But he realizes that he was wrong. He has only injured Shiryu's neck and Shiryu did the same to his with Excalibur. So Gordon attacks : Grand Axe "Crusher" ! p168 : Shiryu protects with the hand hiding Excalibur but the axe is harder and Shiryu's hand breaks. Gordon prepares to break Shiryu's head but the latter is the fastest. He hits Gordon releasing the power of the Rozan Ascending Dragon with his other hand. p170 : Sylphid notices Shiryu didn't move in spite of all their attacks. So this time he'll make him move over from the entrance to the tunnel with the hurricane of Basilisk. p172 : The annihilation flap throws Shiryu against the wailing wall. He falls down in front of the tunnel. p174 : Shiryu thinks it's ironical that the wailing wall itself has saved him from being carried away to another dimension. He tells them again they can't kill him if they fight one at once. They must attack him all at once ! Sylphid doesn't believe him. After all, he's already half-dead ! p176 : Shiryu attacks with Rozan flying Dragon and brings Sylphid down. <177-2> Shiryu : "Did you understand ? If you want to kill me come all 3 of you together !" "At that time, I'll show you the last secret of the dragon !" Next Chapter : Deadly battle ! 3 Vs 1 !!
