The Moment of Vacillation

Seiya meets up with his friends and they head to the House of Leo. Meanwhile, Gigant and his group of Specters encounter Aiolia at the House of Leo, still searching for Saga and the others, since they were suspicious of them. Five Specters try to get through the House, but Aiolia quickly eliminates them with his Lightning Plasma. Another Specter, Worm Raimi, appears. Seiya and his friends encounter three dead Specters, without their Surplices. One was frozen to death, one was slashed in the back, and the last one had major burn marks. They continue towards the House of Leo. Raimi tells the other Specters to go to the next House and digs a hole underground. Aiolia senses familiar Cosmos within the Specters. Suddenly, he is bound by Raimi's tentacles, but frees himself and drags Raimi above ground. Aiolia attacks but the Specter goes underground and reemerges. However, Aiolia finishes him off with a Lightning Bolt. The four Bronze Saints arrive and tell Aiolia about the dead Specters. Gigant and the other Specters arrive at the House of Virgo and find it in shambles. Shaka appears before them and blocks their attacks with his barrier. He then pulls out a rosary with 108 beads, the same number as Hades' Specters. When a bead turns black, it means a Specter has died. So far, 11 Specters have died, but Gigant is confused, there should only be 8 dead. Shaka attacks the Specters, but three of them stop the attack and use Diamond Dust, Excalibur and Galaxian Explosion. Shaka is able to block the techniques, but just barely. Knowing who the three Specters are, Shaka removes the Surplices to reveal Saga, Camus and Shura. Aiolia tells Seiya and the other Saints that Shaka is willing to sacrifice himself.
