1st Rise of the Phoenix ஜ Video
[When he wakes up, he still believes he's in Nautilus. The last he remembers is going to sleep with Leanne like usual, did something happen? Another storm? Something worse? He can't remember anything else but there must have been something since not only he wakes up in a place he doesn't recognize but he is also wearing his armour.
It's not until he finds the hologram that he understands what has happened, and those sensible to Cosmo, ki or similar energies will most likely feel a huge burst of energy as Ikki's Cosmo rages. To his credit he doesn't damage anything in the area. But it takes everything he has to not do so. Kidnapped again, this time more blatantly and without made up excuses about there having been a call. It was bad the first time, but this time is even worse. Apparently he's not allowed to continue fighting to save Athena and Seiya, nor he's allowed to have a family and a "normal" life.
He makes his way out, with his Phoenix Cloth on and carrying its Pandora box on his back. He doesn't bother to try to use his Cosmo to reach anyone for he doubts that whoever is responsible of this would be so kind as to let him reunite with anyone he knows and cares about. It's not until he reaches the beach that a thought occurs to him which leads him to strip down his armour and shirt, so he can check his right shoulder and confirm that the tattoo that Ace made for him is still there. A red spade (from the cards) surrounded by two flaming wings, one blue, the other orange, and with what seems like a white crescent moon crossing over it, the only thing he has, aside from his memories, to remember his time in Nautilus. It brings some relief to his heart, but it does nothing to calm his temper, so he goes on to strech his joints and muscles, giving anyone watching the video a nice show without realizing it. It's not the coliseum he's used to, but the beach seems like a good enough place to do some improvised training.
It should help to release his anger.]

[Laughs softly, tugs him around the shoulders with a one-armed hug and gently nudges a fist to his chin.] When you love someone, you love the potential they have to become too. If you're a happier more well-adjusted Ikki, he'll just be happy for you. We can get food and drinks first if you want, but don't hide away from him long, phoenix. I spent 5 years away from Thatch and Namur, they were completely hidden in the same world as me. In that time, I dealt with Pops' funeral, met a version of Ace who was a marine, another version of Ace I couldn't hold onto, twice, got married, adopted another brother, and a son. It was a a lot to make them adjust to all at once, but they're my brothers, they're not so weak as to want to spend another minute away from me just because of my issues, eh?
And Thatch had it roughest to adjust. Twenty years we were together through everything. Suddenly I had a whole life outside of him. But he's my brother. He rose up, he's my first mate in the crew, and when I was lost in Ceres, he still looked after Grell and Namur for me. Don't avoid him long, eh? Not for him, not for you.

But that's the thing, Marco. I told Seiya we were brothers, who our father was but... I don't know if he told the others and... It's Seiya. I'm not even sure he would remember that after everything. Or care about it. He had his older sister to search for and then the wars and battles...
Thatch and Namur were your brothers, they knew so and loved you. So of course they will accept it and adjust no matter how much you change and evolve. But we didn't have that relationship. I'm sure if I was Shiryu or Hyoga or Shun then it wouldn't matter, they had a strong friendship and love for each other, brotherly or not. But I wasn't part of it because I never wanted to be part of it, I didn't deserve it, not when I failed them all as the oldest brother.
[He sighs but nods anyway.]
I won't stay away from him, it's not in my nature to not be aware of how he is doing and what he is doing. Even back then. But... I will just be a comrade at most.
[And he looks at Marco.]
And that goes for you as well, don't go insisting him about he and me being brothers. If you want to adopt him as a brother that's fine but not through me, the last thing Seiya needs is to be confused or to have to deal with complicated things. He may remind you of Ace but he's far more of an idiot and simpler, try to explain him about other worlds or phoenixes and I'm sure his head will explode.
Besides, as far as I'm aware he doesn't even know that I resurrect after being killed, literally. The most he probably thinks is that I get heavily wounded and just heal very well.
[Is Ikki underestimating Seiya's awareness of things and knowledge and love by a lot? Hell, yes he is. But it's mostly because he can't wrap his head around the idea of Seiya and the others loving him and caring for him despite how he insisted to put distance, or that they may have respected the distance because they loved him and didn't want to press him, hoping that he would come around on his own. Not at all, that can't be it. To them Ikki's at most a comrade and that's all. And he doesn't deserve their love or friendship.
Did Marco forget how much Ikki loves to beat himself and think he doesn't deserve anything but shit and pain?]
