S-Files: Next Try

Well, as many people seemed to be really sad that Himiko and Makoto had to return to Japan at the end of The S-Files, here's the much-demanded sequel!

After Hades, most of the Saints were dead. Shortly after, all of the Goldies and some of the Silver Saints (only the cute ones, of course - *grin*) plus Seiya of the Bronze Boys were revived by Gaia in Rota Taro. Now Athena wants to know if her revived Saints are truly sound and hale, and so she orders a certain expert team of the Graude Foundation Research Laboratories to do a thorough examination. Unfortunately Sanctuary in Greece is in dire need of repairs, so the Saints have to report to Tokyo for a change.

Shavana Rhea is my Co-Author for this story and Terada Makoto is her character.

As my stories all fit together, I probably should give a little overview about what belongs where. In my universe all of the stories cover several time periods: To Serve Sanctuary, Price of the Cloth and The S-Files take place before the Saint Seiya TV series while Rota Taro, Dancing the Shadows, Path into the Light, The 13th Zodiac Sign, and S-Files: Next Try are set after Hades.

* To Serve Sanctuary is about the normal life in Sanctuary and how the Gold Saints originally were chosen (if I ever get there, that is XD)
* Price of the Cloth describes how the Goldies attained their Cloths and at which price
* The S-Files is just a fun story about two Graude Foundation scientists examining Cloths & Saints (to help Professor Asamori later with the Steel Cloths ^_^)
* In Rota Taro Athena has to face Gaia and justify herself for the wars - and there the dead Saints get revived.
* Dancing the Shadows takes place after Rota Taro and deals with Persephoneia's wrath because of her husband's defeat.
* Aftermath - Path into the Light was originally the epilogue of Dancing the Shadows, but due to the somewhat adult content I decided to treat this as a side story to DtS. It's about DeathMask and Shaina's relationship.
* The 13th Zodiac Sign ist about a new Gold Saint among the Saints of Athena.
* Finally, S-Files: Next Try is another take on an examination of the Saints, this time with interviews about their childhood and past.
