In the mean time, at the Great Pope's Palace.

The master of the 88 Saints of Athena heads a tactical meeting.

Well, Charles, what word from the scouts ?

I'm afraid none came back to tell us of the situation.

We have to assume the ennemy's forces are already in position.

I estimate it for tonight, tomorrow at the latest.

Indeed, they must surely be preparing for the assault.

In the light of such a critical situation

the Sanctuary needs your help, gentlemen.

Time has come to put your experience and powers at the service of Sanctuary.

Yes, Great Pope !

Good, you will have to guard the Zodiac's Temple that matches your birthdate...

... As well as to dress in the matching Gold cloth you all earned !

With all due respect, Great Pope, my comrades and I don't feel ready to take on the cloths of our late masters and friends.

And here's the war room !

Ah, yes, here they are...
