Things
start out with Amakasu asking Mariya to look into something for him,
it appears that he believe that Godou brought something back with him
when Erica took him back to Italy. That he just wants her to look
into things for him, and it just to be on the safe side. Although at
school it is clear that Godou is not very trusting of Erika, and that
he is still questioning her intentions. However later when he runs
into Mariya, she stops him and ask to speak with him later when he
has time.
Later
on when they meet up he apologizes for taking so long but Erika was
being difficult. Then Mariya goes into what she wants to talk with
him about, that she believe that he might have brought back with him
the gorgoneion. Then explains that it is a divine instrument, this
cause him to crack a joke about it being a violin. Once she realize
that he is joking she isn't in the least bit amused, and once he
explains that he has a degree of understanding of what these object
are. He promise that he wouldn't bring something like that back to
japan, however he get extremely distressed when she goes on giving
detail on what it looks like and is horrified that Erika gave him
something so dangerous. Once Mariya realize he does have it, she is
displeased with his lack of care in understanding that his actions
can influence everyone around him.
This
leads to Mariya bring Godou back to her temple to more clear explain
the situation that he has manage to get himself involved in. Here she
explains that the gorgoneion is link to a prophecy that states that
when a god obtains gorgoneion it will return to it's true power and
draw the world into darkness. Once realize how great of a problem
this is Godou asks why can't they just destroy it, however it appears
according to Mariya the most they would able to do is seal it. This
is when Erika shows and says is grateful to Mariya for her
explanation. It clear that Erika is of a different mind set, she
wants to cause to prophecy to unfold because they can't stop it from
happen they can only control the when. That it can't be stopped
because it is already beginning to unfold, that she needs Mariya to
use her powers to find the source.
When
Mariya does help it is revealed that Athena is the source of the
prophecy, that when she obtains the metal she will return to her true
power. Then to stop this, it is decided that Mariya will go off to
try a seal the metal while Godou and Erika try to stop her. Although
it seems like normally Athena would be willing to talk things out,
but it seems like she has no interest in delaying things any longer.
That she is determine to get the metal no-matter what, that in the
end it doesn't matter who she has to go through to get it. Godou
doesn't seem to realize how serious things are so this results in his
defeat. This cause Erika to put everything she has into fighting
Athena just so that she can escape with Godou.
Once
they are away from Athena and he begins to wake up, Erika tells him
that he has been asleep for two and half hours. Then tells him that
with the ways things are now there are only two things that he can
do. The first is allow Athena to do as she wishes and cause the world
to fall into the underworld. The other choice he can make is that he
can face Athena again and kill her. This cause Godou to comment on
the fact that everything is going according to her plan. Erika
contradicts him by say that there is a path a king must walk and
nothing he can do will void this truth. Then things end with him
receive the knowledge about Athena from Erika, and this is what will
allow him to use the golden sword. However it turns out that they
might not have as much time as they think.
