Playing Their Game (A zodiac Story) On hold for now

Chapter 5 {You Pushed Me!}

Leo's POV

It's been a week since we've been stuck in this freaking video game. All we've done so far is train. That's all we seem to be doing, is training. I'm ready fro action and frankly I miss my headphones. Oh sure, we each got something from home. I got a watch that doesn't even work. I really just want to go home and I can tell the others want to go home as well.

"Earth to Leo!" Virgo said, snapping her fingers under my nose.

"What?" I snapped. 

"We need to practice," Virgo said. "Also, I have a large book that needs to be read." I rolled my eyes at the workaholic of our group. 

"Virgo, you're giving me a headache," I said, massaging my temples. She let out a snort of disgust and walked away.

"Leo," Libra sighed. "You really need to stop being such an egotistic prick. You aren't helping at all, only pushing V's buttons. You need to work on your skills and you talking about how great you are won't help us." He walked away I closed my eyes and inhaled deeply. Everyone thinks of me as selfish, egotistical and self centered. But really I'm just trying to make up for the lack of self-confidence. No one understands or sees how much I doubt myself and all they do is insult me. I let out a long sigh and Pisces comes up to me.

"You good?" he asked.

"Of course I am," I said, tossing him an arrogant smile. "I'm Leo!" I opened my palm and fire blazed to life. Stared at the small, controlled flame. Then I willed the flame to get bigger and bigger and bigger. Then I snuffed it out in a heartbeat. 

"Heroes!" Ophiucus said, grabbing our attention. "Please come here. I'm going to be putting you in duels, not with mosters, but with each other."

"And here I was hoping for a day off," Sagittarius mumbled. "My optimism will be the death of you me."

"Your just realizing this now?" Aries asked. Sagittarius stuck his tongue out at her.

"Will you two just get toegether aleady?!" Cancer said. "You're killing me!"

"I know where you and your notebook live," Aries replied.

"That's low," Cancer said, narrowing her eyes. 

"I have learned to accept your odd little side conflicts and just roll with the punches," Ophiucus said.

"Trust me," Cap sighed. "Anyone normal here does." Ophiucus tilted his head.

"That depends on your definition of normal," he said. "Anyway, now is the chance to challenge each other. Who's first, if there are no takers I'll just choose randomly."

"I challenge Virgo," I said. 

"Veo is alive!" Cancer exclaimed, clapping her hands. {Sorry bout' the ship name}

"You are dead crab," Virgo said, stepping onto the open floor. She brough out two sais and took a battle stance. I grabbed a spear and also took my battle stance.

"Alright," Ophiucus said. "No killing or miaming. I want a nice clean match, go!" My hands caught fire and I willed the flames to grow into controlled spheres. I lobbed one at Virgo who dodged the fire ball. I made the fire ball chase her around the arena and lobbed the second one, catching her wing. She let out a muffled cry of pain and then the other ball hit her. 

"LEO!" she yelled. The earth exploded and I jumped on the chunks of rock. I tossed the spear in Virgo's direction and she blasted it away. A light surrounded and her burns disappeared. She sent a wave of earth towards me and I liquidfied it. The floor turned into bubbling lava, I stepped into the fire happily.
