Saint Seiya: Dark Innocence(For Optimusomega)

[mastervegeta]

Lady Pandora is Hades's representative.She has authority over all Specters.And when they do not fall on line,a harsh punishment most often awaits...

....Except for one.

Rodrigo,the current inheritor of the Bennu Surplice.

It's former owner,Kagaho,reincarnated as a Saint of Athena,leaving it alone untill recently.And as the true inheritor of the Celestial Violent Star,Rodrigo is as powerfull as the judges-and he likes to fight a lot! Even the three Judges respect him,and do not object when Rodrigo wants to train with them.

But,his true childish side only shows before Lady Pandora.She cares for the young specter,and trust him more tham the others-Rodrigo became her personal attendant.He loves when he earns her praise....but his punishments are a bit different from the others...

And one of said punishments should soon come to Rodrigo.While Poseidon attacked Earth,Rodrigo and Rhadamanthys both told Pandora it was a perfect oportunity to attack the weakened Sanctuary! But,Pandora thinks it would be better to wait for Athena's seal to end so all Specters are freed-if a Judge was lost,it would be a great loss in morale to their army.Same to Rodrigo,who is respected by many specters-and as well,she could not bear for any harm to come to Rodrigo!

Rodrigo agreed with Rhadamanthys,and so did the remaining judges,considering how weakened Sanctuary was.His blood boiling by his love of battle,and thinking that instead of a punishment,Pandora would be so proud if he got past the weakened Sanctuary to get Athena's head(They know Poseidon attacked,but didn't know about Athena's kidnapping)......Rodrigo offered himself to go to the Sanctuary!

"We might not have another chance like this.And if everyone goes,Lady Pandora'll figure it out. Lord Rhadamanthys,Lord Aiacos,Lord Minos,allow me to go.You know my power,I am sure I can beat the Gold Saints!" Rodrigo told them,who agreed.

The Judges trained Rodrigo personally,after all; the boy's power is superior to Myuu himself,perhaps surpassing even Lune. Indeed,Rodrigo's power was most likely equal to the Judges themselves,but this is something they wouldn't tell outloud untill they were sure it wouldn't make the boy get too cocky! As strong as he is,Rodrigo is also a child,after all!

The Judges warned Rodrigo to go as fast as he could,however-they would not warn Pandora about Rodrigo's mission,to give him more time-but if he failed to reach Athena before Pandora noticed his absence,he'd most likely have to face his worried,yet strict lady!


He beat Mu quite easly,as the Gold Saint ended up holding back,unwilling to kill a child,even a specter(Which Rodrigo quite frankly thought it was insulting,as he hate when an enemy holds back in account of his age-if he wasn't in a rush,this could put Mu's life at risk!)

Aldebaran was a bit harder,but Rodrigo also won,not killing the two as he wanted to get to Athena before Pandora found out he disobeyed her.

The Judges didn't tell her as promised,for they thought this was the right course of action,and Pandora would suspect something was up if anyone else went.

But Pandora was surprised when she didn't find her attendant for a while; it was most unlike Rodrigo to vanish like this,at least without warning her! She began to suspect of something! And if she was right......if Rodrigo went where she thinks he did....them she might need to have a SERIOUS talk with him,after she ensures the boy is safe-for due to Asmita's Rosary,the Specters could not be revived-the little boy could die for real!

Rodrigo ran past the empty Gemini and Cancer,trouncing soldiers on his way.

"Hmph.Aries was insulting,holding back on me!If I wasn't in a hurry....Taurus was a much better opponent,but he still pales in comparison to the three Judges.But I can't get overconfident...from what Lady Pandora told me about the Sanctuary Battle,Leo and Virgo are the most dangerous of the survivors..."

But before he got on the way to Leo,he heard a familiar voice,calling him through his Cosmo....

(It's Pandora,obviously,so you make what Pandora says as she communicates Rodrigo's Cosmo. ^_^ It's kinda like when Dohko talks with Shiryu through his cosmo after the battle with Deathmask.

This prologue,to introduce Pandora's caring,yet strict side when punishing Rodrigo,could take place at the end of the battle with Poseidon,when Seiya has just got the Sagittarius Cloth. It is so we can quickly do a skip to when Hades's seal break after Pandora disciplines and conforts her naughty attendant.

Oh,and I chose to be the new Bennu because Rodrigo is loyal and protective of his Lady as Kagaho was to Hades,and being both strong and loyal would help explain why Pandora cares so much about him,while getting the respect of most Specters-it would make sense that one of the stronger ones would be the one Pandora trusts the most,after all. Okay,let the story begin! ^_^)

"Rodrigo!" Pandora's voice called. "Return immediatly to me!"

[mastervegeta]

Rodrigo gasped. (L-Lady Pandora!Has she figured it out?!) he thought,them sighed.(At any rate,she might just not have found me,and is looking for me....I shouldn't make her wait.Leo....our fight will have to be postponed,for the time being...)

After thinking this,Rodrigo returned to Hades Castle,entering Pandora's room."Have you called for me,Lady Pandora?" he asked,bowing politely.

[optimusomega]

"Where you were?" She asked, sternly.

[mastervegeta]

"Ehhh....I....I was..." Rodrigo groaned,hesitantly.

[optimusomega]

"At the sanctuary?" She asked sternly.

[mastervegeta]

Rodrigo groaned.He couldn't lie to her face!

"Ugh...yes....but how did you find out,Lady Pandora?" he asked.

[optimusomega]

"I know you!" She simply said sitting down. "You desobeyed me deliberatly!" She stated. "You know the consequences, now don't you?" She stated. "Out of that Surplice!"

[mastervegeta]

Rodrigo groaned as he took off his Surplice."Lady Pandora,that was our best chance.I beat two Gold Saints,so maybe I could get to Athena and end the Holy War before it began,for you and our emperor!" the boy whined,hoping for mercy.

[optimusomega]

"A slim chance of victory is not worth you risking your life!" She said sternly. "Over my lap!" She instructed.
