MC reunites with Ikki after becoming a saint:
Hi!
Here's the headcanon you requested. I haven't had much time to write this month, so it's coming out later than I originally wanted. I hope you enjoy it in spite of everything.
Take care of yourself and have a nice day.
You were among the first to arrive in Japan, your hopes of reuniting with your old friends were high, but all the rich kid did was announce a tournament with a smile you wished you'd ripped off her face. On the day of the tournament, there were huge crowds both in the streets and in the hotels, and you couldn't deny that it was a little unhealthy, especially knowing that you had no real choice but to take part.
You looked around the arena for your friends, but although Shun was there, there was not the slightest trace of Ikki. Of course, you were relieved to find his brother - Ikki would be devastated if Shun died - but when you asked Shun about Ikki, he told you he hadn't heard from him in 6 years.
You continued to search for him with growing concern. Ikki wasn't just anyone, he was a brave, stubborn boy and he'd promised to come back alive, he couldn't betray his promise, he wasn't that kind of person. You were supposed to find yourself in Japan, if you were lucky enough to survive your training, and you did. It wasn't easy, but the idea of being able to find him one day kept you going.
Days went by without a trace of him, and doubt slowly crept into your mind. Perhaps he had succumbed… No matter how much you glanced at Shun, hope seemed to have given way to dull fear and anxiety, and you wondered if the same fear wasn't reflected in your eyes. Ikki was alive, right? He couldn't have died when you survived, not him… Ikki couldn't have died when he was already the strongest of you all.
The day of the fight between Shun and Jabu, you'd almost given up hope. Anxiety gnawed at your stomach and you felt like you were lost in a fog. It had been 5 days since the start of the competition. The idea that Ikki might have succumbed to his training on the island of the Death Queen seemed increasingly plausible to you. Hadn't Tatsumi said back then that this place was hell on earth? That no one could come back alive?
You were so worried that you didn't notice the first worrying signs. And you only turned your attention back to the fight when Shun's chains began to behave strangely. Ikki's entrance into the arena was spectacular to say the least, his cosmos burning with hatred and rage was suffocating, overwhelming.
You watched him attack his precious little brother as if he'd been a common mosquito in his path, and it was as if the ground slipped out from under your feet. Why? Nobody can change their personality so drastically for no reason. Ikki was a cheeky boy, which always got him into trouble, but above all he was protective. He was kind, and he was keen to protect those weaker than himself. He would never hurt his little brother.
You didn't have time to react; he disappeared just a few minutes after arriving, and with the armor to boot. If you don't give a damn about that piece of junk, that's not the case with the arrogant rich girl who complains and moans about it. You may feel a sense of anger towards this girl who is responsible for his suffering, but it's almost entirely overshadowed by your concern for Ikki.
But, You can't let Ikki go ahead with his plans without trying to stop him, you have to try and reason with him somehow. You leave the recovery of the armor pieces to the others and set off in search of the Phoenix.
But by the time you find him, it's already too late. You don't even know if he remembers you or recognizes you, so blinded is he by his anger. All he can talk about is revenge, and apart from the fact that he keeps telling you he's been through hell, you can't find out any more. You hear him talk about Esmeralda, who died, and his master, who didn't seem to be a child at heart. But telling you about them only seems to deepen his hatred.
You speak without being heard, as if your every word were passing through a distorting mirror. Ikki only understands what he wants to understand, or only what he can understand. He repeats that he's been through hell as if it were the only thing he knew. He attacks you as he attacked Shun, but for fear of hurting him, you don't really dare retaliate and keep trying to talk to him, sometimes a flash of lucidity seems to cross his eyes, but it's immediately replaced by a new wave of rage.
Little by little, you come to understand what he went through during his six years on the island of the Death Queen. And you better understand his reaction: no one can emerge from such an ordeal without consequences. His eyes are haunted by the violence he experienced on that island. Despite everything, your words still don't reach him. He continues to attack you, but you are saved in extremis by the intervention of the other Bronze Knights who have finished fighting the Black Knights.
With Shun's help, you continue to try to reason with Ikki, without the slightest success, and by the end of the fight you're the last one standing with Seiya and Ikki. However, you barely have time to chat with Ikki when new enemies attack and force you to separate. Between the battle against the Silver Knights and the battle against the sanctuary, you haven't managed to have a single moment to talk with Ikki.
It's not until the battle for the sanctuary is over that you finally manage to get together for a chat. At first, the situation is a little awkward. There aren't many pleasant memories of your time at the orphanage, so you don't talk about them much, or only about the few really positive ones.
You also avoid talking about what happened just after the Galaxian War, both because Ikki is still angry at himself for trying to kill you all and because you still don't know how to react to it.
Then, Ikki tells you in much greater detail about everything he's been through over the past six years, in a much more calm and collected way. You learn more about his master's violence, but also about the young Esmeralda he befriended, who died shortly before the Galaxian War. His description of his training really gives you the impression that he's been through hell on earth, even though he now sounds quite detached when he recounts it, a bit as if it wasn't him who had been through it but someone else.
He also asks you questions about everything that's happened to you in the six years you've been apart, and he listens attentively to your answers, although he looks worried when you start talking about your master.
Gradually, the atmosphere becomes more pleasant, and you stop talking about your training sessions to joke a little about the battles that have just taken place and, above all, to rave about each other's fighting techniques. You spend a long moment discussing his fight against Shaka, another listening to him talk with pride about the brave man his little brother has become, before talking about the battles you've fought.
Now you're just hoping to create new good memories together, things that will be nice to talk about years from now when you're old and don't have the energy to fight.
