Chapter II  Uncertainty
 
 
  Saga comes to The Pope's Temple wearing something not right with the Greece August season: long sleeve clothes. When he enters, all has been finished. 

"Saga, just a while ago, an assassin came to attack The Pope!!" 
 Saga hearing this from Shura is surprised,"What? An assassin attacking The Pope? Who was it....?" 
"It was kind of like a Marina." 
"Marina?" 
"Saga, quickly go back and watch Poseidon!" 
"Yes!", Saga then does the right etiquette. 

 Ares is thinking about something. He continues to watch Saga's every 
move. Right then, Saga feels the stare of Ares, Saga then gives Ares a rude look. Right at that time, The Pope announces a very important matter. Aiolos and others becomes quiet. 

"It will be very soon to welcome Athena's coming." 
"Ah!" Everyone gets very excited. 
(Athena finally will come.....), Shura feels more excited than when he got his Golden Cloth. At that time, Saga's face shows a cold grin however Ares notices it,(Saga..........) 

The Pope continues,"Just like in the past when we welcome Athena's coming, it is right before The Holy Wars. Not only the God of the Sea, Poseidon wants to attack this earth but the Underworld's Hades and also Battle Goddess Eris{Goddess of Discord} has not given up hope. We must prepare for the coming Holy Wars." 

Shura shows some nervousness. The Pope continues speaking,"So, Saga you must use all your energy to watch Poseidon's activity" 
"Yes!" 
"And Aiolos, your responsbility is to protect Sanctuary" 
"Yes!" 
"Shura, you must quickly train the Saints around the world" 
"Yes!" 
"Now Let's begin!!" 
"Yes!!" 
The three cosmos is burning. 

"Shura, your cutting-hand was very powerful" 
"Yes! Even I did not know how to control it... it was like the hand was  moving on its own will." 
"That is something we can't see, but it is Athena's gift." 
"Oh, Athena's gift!" 
Not only Shura, but Aiolos and Saga and even Ares are all shocked by this. 
"It is the Sacred Sword named by the Gods, Exculibar" 
"Exculibar........?" 
"Utilizing the Sacred Sword with your own moves, this is the reward of your hard-earned training. When Athena arrives, you can protect her by her side...." 
"Yes! I am very thankful", Shura looks at his right hand and little droplets of tears start running down,"Athena....." 
Just looking at his tears, we see the proof of his devotion to the yet,  
unseen Athena. 

"Shura, this is great!", Aiolos congratulates Shura, holding his right hand. 
"Thank You, Aiolos" 
"Shura, congratulations!" Saga pats on Shura's shoulder. Ares's eyes flashes a sharp light. In Saga's sleeves, blood is seeping, (Could, Could it, be Saga?......) 

"Everyone, you are dismissed" 
Aiolos does the right etiquette. 
"Saga, would you come to my room" 
"Ares, what is the matter?" 
"I want to have a word with you...." 

Saga shows he is not comfortable, and leaves. 
Ares is in his room thinking about the assassin,(Santuary is surrounded by few levels of force fields. Except for Golden Saints, no other Saints can past through. If that assassin was a real Marina, and also pasts the force fields..... but, if it was a Golden Saint.... and Saga was so late. And also in the sleeve ..... that seeping blood, did I not see it right.......?) 

 Right then, a knock on the door. Saga enters Ares's room. In Saga's  
eyes, shines a weird light, Ares does not noticed this while Saga moves 
infront of him,"What is it.....?" 
Suddenly Ares interrupts Saga by holding Saga's right hand. He pulls back the sleeve. 
"What? What are you doing?", Saga is very scared about this. Ares sees, on Saga's arm is the wound left by the Sacred Sword Exculibar, "It is.....Saga, only I know about this. If you have some evil thoughts right now, I suggest you forget them." 
"Wooo woooo..... Ares, if you were not so nosy, you would have a longer life...." 
"What?" 

Saga eye color turns into a merciless blood red. His personailty is  
like a completely different person,"Don't have evil thoughts? This is for the Gemini Golden Saint Saga who will take Athena's place and be the ruler of the world. I just killed a Marina, took his Scales..... Enough, this is Saga's most powerful technique, Galaxyian Explosion!!!!!!!!!!!" 

Saga kills Ares 

Saga kills Ares

Saga launches his move and Ares is killed. Saga sees the body of Ares and laughs coldly,"Ha ha....From now on, I will be Ares!" Saga wears Ares's mask,(Gemini Golden Saint, because he has gone to watch Poseidon's activities, has already gone back......What's next is I must wait for the right time to get rid of The Pope, if Athena dies too, Sanctuary will be Saga's, mine! Ha ha ha ha!!!!!"
