The Astro-Zodiacs: Next Generation

Chapter 13: The bull horn

             "Guys, may we go to Zeta Tauri? I want the Scorpio amulet that sounds suitable for me," said Jody.

"Perfect, Jody! Let's go!" said Austin.

"Guys, I think that the planet earth is getting darker. People are being attacked and Darkiron is making things worse!" said Dewey.

Later, The Astro-Zodiacs has left Theta Geminorum and launched themselves to their next destination to find the Scorpio amulet. When they saw it, they saw a planet in the shape of a Zeta Tauri star and landed on the ground, where they found themselves in Zeta Tauri. Zeta Tauri was a city with humans and bulls who lived together. The Zodiacs went inside as they saw how wonderful having a city with humans and bulls.

"Zeta Tauri is a place populated by humans? I won't tell anyone about this," said Meg.

"I saw anything about bullfighting and the running of the bulls," said Tiffany.

"I don't want to be involved in bulls, you guys," said Ashlyn.

"Don't be silly, Ashlyn, Not just any other bulls in this place, there are other types of bulls," Dewey explained, "We gotta find the Scorpio amulet."

Lauren saw some bull horns, seeing that they belonged to the bulls who were killed, "Travis, what are these sharpy thingies?"

"Bull horns, Lauren," Travis replied.

Along the way, Dewey and his friends found a discarded bull horn lying on the ground, "A bull horn...on the ground," He said as he picked it up and examined it, "A bull lost it during the Running of the bulls event in Zeta Tauri."

"Which one is the bull who was killed?" said Becca.

"We don't know where is it, Becca. This bull horn will give us a answer and it can help us to find the Scorpio amulet. Lorraine, show me which way we'll find it."

"You got it, Dewey!" Lorraine pulled out her compass and looked around, "Let's see....North, West, South, East....Hey! Let's use East!"

"Let's go, you guys!" Dewey gave them a come on gesture and ordered his friends to follow him.

When the Zodiacs went east after finding a clue on their path, Darkiron watched them mysteriously as he snapped his friends as he went up and landed in front of them, scaring them in process, "Well, well, well. A group of kids with the spirits of Mars, Ceres, Mercury, Moon, Sun, Chiron, Venus, Pluto, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune."

The kids gasped in horror, "Who the heck is you?!" said Dewey.

"I'm Darkiron," Darkiron introduced himself.

"Darkiron? What happened to your name, Chiron?" Meg asked.

Darkiron threw a burning knife at her, almost killing her as the popular girl dodged from it, "That Chiron is no longer the Zodiac!"

"Mister, how do you act so serious? We're on a mission to grab the amulets and stop you from making harm to earth and the Zodiac World!" said Lorraine as she crossed her arms.

"Planet earth and the Zodiac World are goners. I had Mars, Ceres, Mercury, Moon, Sun, Venus, Pluto, Jupiter, Neptune, Saturn and Uranus as my teammates. Until then, I betrayed them and I went to the Dark side!"

"Oh my gosh!" said Shawn.

"That's why you're no longer associated to the Zodiac side. We have the spirits of grim grinning ghosts!" said Lauren.

"Ghosts?" Lorraine looked incredulous.

"I mean...Legendary Astro-Zodiacs! We'll get the Scorpio amulet and the others too to defeat you, Dork!"

"Oh, I'm offended...If you excuse me, I will make harm to your precious planet earth and this Zodiac world where the empress and her daughter lives!" Darkiron snapped his fingers and disappeared in a puff of dark smoke, much to the Zodiacs'shock.

"He was originally Chiron. Right?" said Jody.

"We don't have much time, guys! Let's get the Scorpio amulet!" Dewey replied boldly.

Intending to get the Scorpio Amulet and after a treacherous chat with Darkiron, the Zodiacs resumed their quest as they went east. The group noticed a abandoned building where no human or bull went inside.

"An abandoned building," said Ashlyn.

"Looks like that the amulet is inside," said Dewey as he opened the door quietly.

"Dewey, are you sure this is the right place?" said Shawn.

"Positively!"

The Zodiacs entered in the building and went inside when the door closed behind them. Seeing that something's creepy is happening, they looked around until they found a door with a bull-shaped lock on it. Except that it lacked one horn, "A door with a bull-shaped lock," said Becca.

"Let me place this," Dewey pulled out the bull horn from his jacket pocket and carefully placed it on the lock, unlocking the door, "There. I think that nothing goes-AAAHHHHH!!!!"

"Dewey!" Becca shouted as he saw his friend slided down into a spiral, "Let's follow him, guys!"

The rest of the Zodiacs slided down as well. Went into the spiral as they found themselves sliding, sliding as they kept screaming for help. Meg, as a result, ended up getting her dress ripped into a mini dress in process. They kept sliding until they found themselves falling into a dark room below the building and has hit the ground.

"Ow, my back!" said Colby.

"Oh, my dress is reduced into a mini dress! Would you look at that?!" Meg complained.

"Relax, Megan. You have more dresses at your house!" Tiffany reassured.

"Hey! Get off me, Lauren!" said Ashlyn.

"Sorry!" Lauren apologized before a light is turned on, "Dewey! Is that you?"

"Of course It's me, Lauren! I saw something shiny when I fell into this room!" said Dewey, who is revealed to be carrying his phone.

"Oh, Pots and Pans!"

"The Scorpio amulet?" said Denver.

"Exactly! Come on!" Dewey gestured his friends to follow him.

With a help of Dewey's flashlight, the Zodiacs walked in the room and looked around for the amulet. When they stopped on their tracks, they noticed that something is the Scorpio amulet shining. Smiling, Dewey led his friends to follow him, walking next to the amulet, "We found the Scorpio amulet!" He said triumphantly.

"Awesome!" said Meg, "Anyway, I look good that my dress is now ripped. I won't complain any longer," Giggled.

"Oh, you won't? Of course you won't," Becca elbowed her playfully.

"Let me try!" Jody excitedly picked up the Scorpio amulet and placed it on her neck, "Cool!"

"We got eight and four more to go," said Austin.

"Shawn, your map, please."

"Let's see here...Kappa Scorpii," said Shawn.

"Woo! Pots and Pans! Let's go to Kappa Scorpii! Home of the scorpions!" Lauren exclaimed with excitement.
