Lost Worlds (a zodiac story)

Poisonous

Scorpio's pov

   I looked at Gemini if he'd take any offence with Sag's comment, but he seems neutral.

I frown thinking how I missed the old Gemini who use to joke around and tease me. . .no, Scorpio what are you thinking?

"Corvus, I'm ready" I smirked, crossing my arms. I wasn't really expecting my course to be a desert.

The scotching hot sun, the overpowering heat, dry burning sand and steaming breeze. Why a desert tho? I wondered, pouting my lips.
My train of thoughts came to a halt, when my ears caught sounds of rattling.

I winced looking discreetly at a black figure emerging from the ground, bursting out fully was a weird creature with a human like body but with tail of a snake. Seconds later more than a dozen of them emerged.

Ah fuck!!!

I thought Corvus typed 'alien' not snake like things, with huge fucking spears.

Okay, if there's anything I learnt from Virgo and Taurus, is that my weapon is my imagination brought to live. I just need to concentrate and be in control of my mind.

"Okay, I'm pretty sure I got this" I muttered to myself, creating a bigger version of a chain whip, sharp arrow and everything, which I can control my mind. "How fast can these things be?"

Without a warning they slivered quickly, aimlessly throwing some strange looking spears.

"SCORP" I heard Taurus shout. "Corvus said the spears are poisonous and so is your chain"

Fair enough!!

I started controlling the chain, blocking some spears and stabbing the creatures, and then it hit me, if I can control my weapon with my mind, can I control other people's weapons too?

I successfully finished off the alien things, their body dissolving into the sand, leaving a black tar on it. "Disgusting" I remarked, with a cringed expression.

The group hooted, exclaiming how they've never saw me use my powers before, and honestly I didn't wanna try but Virgo and Taurus helped me out.

"So who's left?" I question looking at everyone, they exchanged looked trying to figure out who hasn't tried out yet.

Our head snapped to Corvus when he cleared his throat, he pointed at Taurus and Capricorn.

Taurus let out a nervous chuckled and Capricorn shrugged, not tiredly but in a more carefree manner.

"Go Taurus go" Aquarius chanted, hooting loudly, her fist balled and her voice high.

"Aquarius I swear-" Taurus gritted her teeth. "Okay fine, I'm willing to try" her entire expression changed, she tilted her head to the side, placing a hand on her hips. "Hit me VuVu"

We started laughing and she immediately realised what she just said. "Not like that. . .urg, I honestly hate all of you"

Corvus on the other hand was already used to us teasing him like that, he started typing.

"He said. . ."

"Shut up Aquarius" Almost all of us shouted, and she lifted her hand up in surrender, mouthing. "Okay okay"

"Okay, so I have to destroy a huge metallic power plant, so I'm basically gonna be smashing things like hulk?" She bursted a grin, nodding repeatedly.

"And" we heard Corvus's weak voice. "The plant will be radiating a poisonous gas that's gonna kill you in two minutes"

"Well that's fun" Taurus pouted.

The course was now in front of us, huge, very huge. Corvus always leaves out some important details.

She got this. . .I hope!!

Taurus started smashing through the metals underneath, causing the ones on top to fall down, that was a smart thinking if you ask me.

But the deeper she went the more the gas mixed with the air, making her weaker each second.

There were still lots of things to destroy, but Taurus instead stood still looking around. What could she be looking for? I wondered.

After a while she started running towards a huge pole, uprooting it from the ground.

"How can she lift that? It looks so heavy" Libra mused, his brows knitted, watching Taurus as she swung the pole around, breaking more metals.

"Uh. . .probably the fact that she has super strength?" Aries retorted, with an 'its obvious' expression.

The huge power plant came crashing down, falling recklessly. Taurus having inhaling that gas was obviously too weak to get out in time.

"Should we do anything?" Leo asked, looking at Corvus who shook his head.

"Yep, she's gonna die" Cancer snivelled, both his hands on his hips, Sagittarius smacked his head, and he turned to him offended. "Well duh, unless she has magic powers"

Taurus started running on the pieces, jumping from one to the other mid air.

She managed to get out before the entire place collapsed. "Yeah, me and my brother used go slacking on an abandoned park" she enunciated before falling face first.

We clapped and she gave us the thumbs up.

"I wanna be a slacker when I grow up" Aquarius put out, a proud grin on her lips, and I mentally face palmed.

We turned our gaze to Capricorn, his cheeks were puffed out, his eyes wandering, a rare confused expression on his face.

I bit my lip holding back a blush, just thinking how adorable he looked.

"My turn already?" He question.
