So, after they defeated Ikki, he remembered that they were all half-brothers, and he became good again (iirc, this was not revealed). Before he became evil only because he was training on a Demon Island (named Death Queen Island, his training place) under a cruel/harsh master named Guilty (great name lol); he would've turned evil long ago except for a girl named Esmeralda, who had been a slave worker who he'd rescued (in the anime she was Guilty's daughter who cared/loved Ikki, who also reciprocated the love <3). Guilty essentially wanted Ikki to be a brutal and merciless assassin/Saint, but Ikki was kind in the beginning, so Guilty pushed him to a life-or-death battle to try to get Ikki to toughen up. But, Esmeralda saw that fight, and blocked Phoenix from a brutal attack (she was a completely normal mortal, though, so it probably would just be one with devastating injuries for the Saint-in-training). After her death, Ikki killed his teacher, and essentially became the person Esmeralda was trying to save anyways. Coincidentally, she also looked like Shun, who Ikki was forced to leave behind/took over the position in the first place (he requested to switch training places with his younger brother for the latter's safety), so essentially, someone who looked like Shun died and resulted in him becoming evil, and Shun returning purified him again.

Anyways, the Galaxy Wars, the competition Saori held for many of the Bronze Saints, was not tolerated well by the Sanctuary (ruled the past 13 years by Gemini Saga, mostly in his evil persona). In fact, that was because Saints are not allowed to fight unless they're fighting for the peace of the Earth, and that was essentially all for competition. So, Saga started sending Saints (mostly Bronze and Silver) to assassinate the Bronze Saints who had participated/were going to win the Galaxy Wars; that would be Seiya of Pegasus, Hyoga of Cygnus, and Shun of Andromeda. But, since Seiya and Shiryu had fought to the death, and both had lived, they were essentially like best friends/brothers now, so whenever they fought someone, Shiryu and Seiya fought back. As soon as they fought back, the Bronze Saints were marked as traitors of Sanctuary, and in turn, the "little girl they were protecting" was a fake Athena. Because, according to the Patriarch, Athena was still in her Temple. She'd never moved.

So started every (failed) assassination attempt on the actual Athena and the protagonists protecting her.
