I just thought of another foe that the Borg may not be able to beat...

The Bronze Boys!
(Also since I haven't seen any discussions about Saint Seiya! for a while)

The guys could easily take on a whole legion of Borgs for breakfast.
But the true test is of endurance, since both sides will be constantly
trying to overwelm each other in a power play. 

Even if the Borg manages to assimilate the Saint's attacks, 
the Bronze boys will match anything new the Borg comes up with
and redouble their efforts.  Remember, the Saints can rise in power levels
just like the Borg.


Seiya vs. the Borg.

The first Borg soldier appears, Seiya jump kicks it.  Another appears,
Seiya gives it a right cross.  Then another Borg teleports in...
This continues for about 5 minutes until the next Borg stops Seiya's
attack with a forcefield.  The Borg then fires a phaser at Seiya
who just narrowly dodges it.  Seiya calls on this Pegasus Cloth,
blocks the laser and flattens the Borg with a head butt.
Then a whole platoon of Borg soldiers show up to overwelm Seiya with
sheer numbers.  Seiya just Ryuseiken's them all into scrap metal.
The next Borg to show up is a shock Trooper with a special energy field
designed to redirect all of Seiya's attacks back on him.
Seiya is grounded into the floor laying silent and still.
But wait!  He slowly gets up, psyches himself up and overloads the
forcefield with his next attack.

The Borg finally realize that they may have a situation, so they
process all their data known about Saints and create a Combat Borg
specially designed to take down Seiya.  The Combat Borg engulfs Seiya
with a neural disruption ray to fry Seiya's brain waves when linking
with his Cosmos.
Seiya resists unconsciousness and shakes off the effects and groggily
continuing onward. The Combat Borg doubles the power on its next blast.
Suprisingly Seiya just stands in place and blocks the energy array.
"HA!!  Don't you know you can't defeat a Saint the same way twice!......" :-)

After Seiya dispatches the Combat Borg, the Borg Cube Central decided to
get serious and fires a long range phaser down to Seiya's general vicinity.
This time Seiya gets smart and calls upon the Sagittarius Cloth,
absorbs the Death Ray and sends it right back.  The Borg Cube gets rocked,
loses it's shields, but is otherwise okay.  Just in case the Borg Cube
sends a request for reinforcements from Borg Central.  Seiya braces's
himself and leaps out into orbit and graps a corner of the Cube.
Now he has them right where he wants them.  (Hey, considering Saints don't
seem to need to breathe air and the vacuum of space is nothing compared 
to the amount of punishment they normally take, this *could* happen....)
Seiya then defies the laws of physics and preforms a Pegasus Rolling Crush 
and smashes the Cube into a nearby Moon. 

Then Three more Borg Cubes drop out of Warp.  Not missing a beat,
Seiya fires his arrow at the nearest Cube.  The arrow pierces right
throught the exterior and penetrates to the Cube's warp core and
blows up.  Scratch one Borg ship, two more to go.
But given an opening the two remaining Cubes fire a wide spectrum of energy
patterns backed up by their Warp Drive.  Seiya is simply overwelmed and
knocked into Earthfall.  The heat of re-entry wakes him up though.

Making a landing most meteorites would envy, Seiya prepares for the
counter-attack when Ikki and the others show up......
And they haven't even reached God-cloth yet....
