Quick recap

Eri Aizawa, an orphan who is friends with the Bronze Saints, finds a golden apple and is possessed by Eris, goddess of discord. Using the girl's body, Eris raises five dead Saints, the Ghost Saints, and kidnaps Saori. Her plan is to drain Athena's energy until she dies and then rule the Earth again. Seiya, Shiryu, Hyoga and Shun storm Eris's temple and face the ghosts, one each. With Athena trapped and weakening, Seiya puts on the Sagittarius Gold Cloth for the final blow. Eris is defeated, Saori is saved, and Eri is herself again. A short film, outside the canon.
