Iron Rod vs. Stainless Steel Rod

by Happy Athemilis Lee

After the Galaxian Terminal, the fights with Silver Saints, the Sanctuary's Twelve Temple battles with Gold Saints, the battle toward Asgard and the God Worriors, the fight with Poseidon and his Generals, the battle from and toward Hades, and the fight to Heaven, everything just peacefully quieted down. From the power of Gods, all the Saints who were once dead are now alive. And a party celebrating the happiness of being alive again, to which everyone involved in the above fights was invited, took place in the Sanctuary.

About a week after the party was over, everyone moved to the Sanctuary. One day, Saga was making a needle in the Gemini Temple with an iron rod by polishing it under the influence of Dohko's Chinese mythology talk in the party. The noise of polishing was very annoying, so Camus and Milo entered the Gemini Temple to see what was going on there.

When they entered the temple, they saw Saga, who was working really hard, trying to make the iron rod into needle.

Milo curiously asked, "Saga, what the heck are you doin' with this iron rod?"

Saga replied, "Well...remember the party a week ago?"

Camus and Milo nodded. Saga continued, "Dohko was telling Chinese myths, right?! And that's where I got the idea!"

Camus picked up the tiny iron rod and said, "Why don't you do it in the speed of light?"

Saga said, "If I do it in the speed of light, it will loose the fun and juice of it!"

Camus was playing around with the tiny almost-needle-rod and accidentally broke it because of his freezing Cosmo, "Oops!"

Saga yelled with a little anger, "Camus! How could you...."

Camus apologized, "Sorry Saga! I didn't mean to break it. Just that my Cosmo is too cold! Can't help it!"

Saga replied with the understanding expression, "That's okay, Camus! Now I'll have to find another iron rod to do it!"

"Hey Saga!" Milo suddenly said.

"Hey Milo!" Saga replied with humor.

"Why don't you use a stainless steel rod instead of an iron rod? Iron will rust but stainless steel won't!" Milo suggested.

"Wow, Milo...what a cool idea! I haven't thought about that at all! Thank you!" Saga said with cheers.

(You should know, audience, that it takes way more strength to make a needle with stainless steel than of iron because stainless steel is stronger and harder than iron. Although for a Saint, it might not matter! Sorry for the interruption! ^_~*)

As Saga started to make a needle with Milo's stainless steel rod, Solent suddenly entered, "Hi Saga! Why are you making so much weird noise here?"

Solent looked at the stainless steel rod and added, "Oh, I see! You know, I was goin' to do that also, just that I couldn't find any rod!"

Saga replied with a huge smile, "Cool! Let's make needles together! It's kinda fun!! You can have half of my brand new rod if you want!"

"Actually, I think I have something to make the needle from." Solent said while pulling out his flute.

Saga gasped, "What?! You want to make a needle from your flute? Then, who will play flute at the birthday party of Milo next week?"

Solent started to make a needle with the flute he just pulled out, "Don't worry, Saga, I have way too many flutes. And this is the worse flute I was about to get rid of!"

(Wait a minute...audience, isn't the flute empty on the inside? How could Solent make a needle out of a flute?)

"Solent, how can you make a flute into a needle? Isn't the flute empty on the inside?" Saga asked.

(Good point, Saga! Solent, Please explain to us!)

Solent laughed, "I am not trying to make the whole flute into a needle. I am just using the mechanism part to make into a needle. Those mechnism parts are solid silver! I didn't want to work too hard because I have a concert to perform in a month and play in Saints' birthday parties!"

Not too long later, many needles were hanging in front of the Gemini Temple for decoration. And those needles shine like stars under the sun light, as if there is always a rainbow in the Sanctuary.
