3rd person's POV
"Wowwwwwwwww" Gemini looked around in awe. They had just arrived back in the planet of Zodia with the help of a few scientists.
"This is basically Earth 2.0." Sagittarius commented side to side with Cancer. "I'm glad you kids like it." Orion flashed the kids a smile. "But we have business to take care of." He narrowed his eyes making all of them nod.
"Follow me. I know where his base is." He said signalling them to follow.
They walked down the corwdy streets with flying cars all over until they reached a tiny vent by the corner of the sidewalk that led to the sewers.(image above)
"Please don't tell me we're going in there." Libra said as she scrunched her nose in discust.
"Okay, I won't." Orion shrugged as he bent down to remove the lid. "Okay so.. who's small enough to fit in here?" He asked looking at the twelve and examining them. "You, daughter of Aquarius." He pointed at the tiny blue haired girl.
"My name is Aquarius." She told the man. "And so was your father's."
"He told me his name was Alex." Aquarius mumbed to herself.
"Do you think you can fit through that?" Capricorn asked. "If Aqua can't fit in, none of us can." Aries playfully rolled his eyes.
She giggled and slipped directly inside the vent. "I'm shocked she actually fit with those wings." Taurus stated. "How are the rest of us gonna get in there?" Piscies asked.
"If the kid picked up a few traits from her father, she'll be able to think of something." Orion smiled softly and sat down on the pavement.
"So, what is it with you and her dad?" Leo asked with curiosity. "We were close friends until he had to go back to earth to raise his child." Orion explained.

Aquarius' POV
I walked down the smelly sewers not knowing where I was supposed to go. Before I had the chance to think, I heard a familiar voice clear it's throat from behind me.
"Here to reconsider your choices?" He asked. I snapped my head towards him examining him as he leaned on the wall with his feet inside the stinky green liquid.
Zalga
"No." I said plainly giving a straight face.
"You know.... It's not too late to turn to the winning side." He narrowed his eyes. "I am on the winning side." I crossed my arms making him chuckle.
"Such confidence. Come, let me treat you to some tea." He signalled to another path through the sewers as he started walking there himself. I looked at him confused but then followed him since I couldn't do anything else.
He led me to a dead end, or that's what I thought. The water started draining and the floor started going down. "Where are we-" I asked but was cut off. "Save it." He spat putting his hands in his pockets.
The floor stopped moving when we reached another floor. Zalga Stepped out and walked towards a pitch black throne and sat on it looking down at me in a black and red little room with his little minions all lined up.
"What do you want? And where is the rest of your playgroup?" He hissed putting his right leg on top of the other. "I have a request." I stated.
"Continue."
"We weren't able to finish our battle back on Mars. So, if you help me get my friends down here, we can finish it right here, right now." I crossed my arms looking down in regret making him smirk.
"You're asking help from your own enemy? Could you get any dumber?" He rolled his eyes. I stayed quiet.
"But come to think of it... A rematch does sound nice." He said rubbing his chin. "Deal." He smirked looking at me. "But under one condition." He added.
"What?" I rolled my eyes.
"If I win, which I probably will. You kids will join my side and we will take over the whole galaxy together. If you win...." He paused to think. "If we win, you stop your plans on taking over the galaxy and leave it in peace." I added.
"Sounds good to me." He smirked.

3rd person's POV
"How long are we gonna wait? My butt is getting cold." Cancer whined as she sat on the pavement with her legs crossed. "Here." Scoprio said taking his jacket off and placing it on the pavement and signalled for her to sit on it.
"Thanks Scorpi!" She smiled sitting on the jacket. The new nickname caught him off guard and he blushed making everyone laugh.
"Guys.. I feel like the ground is moving." Virgo mumbled to the others.
"ITS AN EARTHQUAKE!!" Aries yelled. "No it isn't. We don't have earthquakes on Zodia." Orion said with a hint of suspicion in his voice as he stood up to look around.
The ground split open making big and small chunks of cement fly everywhere. A giant drill was spotted creating the hole. "What the hell??" Leo shouted as everyone stood up and stepped away as other civilians retreated.
The machine stopped drilling when it was halfway out. "Guys!" Aquarius smiled waving at them as she jumped out of the machine.
"Aqua?" Cancer and Gemini tilted their heads in confusion at the same time. "I convinced Zalga to help." She said as the machine made it's way back underground.
"You did what??" Virgo looked at her with annoyance. "But there's a problem." Aquarius said ignoring Virgo.
"What?" Sagittarius asked.
"I agreed to a rematch right now. It was the only way to convince him to help." Aquarius looked down in regret.
"Wha- how are we supposed to beat him now?? We aren't even prepared!" Taurus said as anxiety boiled within him.
"Don't worry. I know his weak spot. We have an advantage." Orion said walking towards the hole in the middle of the road.
The three air signs easily flew inside the hole. Taurus and Virgo decided to create a rock slide that the rest used to get three kilometres underground.
It was dark and the only source of light was the solar beams of the sun flashing through the huge crack above them.
"Hello old friend. About time we saw each other again. Don't you think?"
