Everybody knows Heaven and Hell don't mix and they never will Hell is a strict place filled with rules and harsh discipline. Heaven is more care free but they hold the power to push back evil. They are in a constant state of war with each other and...
The persistent screams in the distance made Aquarius get shivers down her spine but she didn't budge. A frantic knock came at the door. Gemini made a small whimpering noise.
"Please hurry!" The voice was familiar. "Libra?!" Aquarius rushed to the door and opened it. Libra was battered her hair flying everywhere. Her once perfect face was now caked with dirt.
Aquarius looked behind her and saw powerful lean hounds galloping swiftly towards them, behind they was a hoard of wraiths that were moaning loudly, knowing their was a tasty snack up ahead. "Oh shit." Aquarius slammed the door and pushed her full body weight against it.
A strong thud budged the door, Aquarius struggled, what happened to the barrier?! Sagittarius jumped up and help Aqua with the door. "We can't hold it for long." Aqua strained. She could hear hungry snarls on the other side.
Blaze whimpered and hid behind Aries, who was comforting Gemini to the best of his ability. God damn it Scorpio where are you?! Aqua thought. A loud crack was heard. Aqua gasped as she saw the paw of the hellhound come straight threw the door, the long sharp nails leaving permanent scratches on the door.
She could feel the heat flowing from the hole. The paw retreated and was replaced with a long black snout, snarling and trying to grab at anything. There were remnants of flesh sticking to its teeth. The hole got bigger.
Aqua eyed the fallen sword and debated if she should go get it but that meant them getting through. "Aries! Toss me my sword!" She finally said. Aries scrambled for her black sword and a tossed it to her. She caught it by the hilt.
It was already unsheathed. With as much force as possible she shoved the blade right into the hole. She heard a loud yelp and whimper but the hound soon recovered and bit the blade. Aqua pulled it back in time before it did some real damage to her sword.
Blaze was running in frantic circles, barking wildly. Finally the door gave away and Sag and Aqua flew back and hit the ground, the wind rushing out of them. Aqua took a moment to regain her breathe and then stood up. "God damn it, we are screwed." She mumbled.
Leo and Virgo were rushing down the stairs, Virgo almost tripping twice. The passed the Middle without a second thought and descended into Hell. Virgo prepared for the stench but Leo didn't seem to mind.
"Well, we are here." He looked around and smiled. "And I'm not dying this time!" His grin widened. A ear deafening howl was echoing in the air. "That doesn't sound good..." Virgo took her sword out. "Hey, why is the moon red?" Leo stared into the sky.
Virgo didn't have time to look as snapping jaws rushed for her. She blocked it with her sword but the metal sizzled in the extreme heat. Leo's eyes widened. Virgo slashed her sword, it made contact, making the hellhound step back for a few moment. "Run!" Virgo grabbed his wrist and dragged him, she didn't care if he was on the ground but she was dragging him.
Leo fought to keep up and glanced back to see the wicked black and red dog easily catching up with them, its flames trailing behind it.

Virgo thought quickly and went to the closest place, unfortunately it was the castle. She saw that the door was already bashed open and she could see people fighting for their lives. Leo caught sight of Aqua and smiled.
"Let's go." Virgo was ready to pull him away so they could go back. "AQUA!" He raised his hands in triumph. "Are you stupid! Let's go!" Virgo yelled, the exit was blocked. Aqua stared at him in awe as she was distracted a hound took the chance and lashed her in the thigh.
Aqua yelled in pain and looked at their bleeding leg, it burned every time she moved it. The hound sensed her weakened state and moved in. It lunged for her throat. Aqua raised her sword. "NOT TODAY!" She swung it down and it made contact with the hellhound's neck.
She heard the sickening thud of its head hitting the floor. She panted, exhausted from fighting. Virgo was having trouble taking on two wraiths, her sword went right through them. "Oh hello, I believe we have met before?" A polite voice said.
Virgo took a quick glance. "King Scorpio." She acknowledged. Scorpio snapped his fingers and two balls of bright blazing fire appeared in his hands. The wraiths screeched and backed away. "They're sensitive to light." Scorpio said.
"Now that's something I can do." Virgo smirked. A pure white ball of light appeared in her hands she threw it at a wraith. It made a horrible noise and then vanished. "Not bad." Scorpio nodded. Leo saw Aqua's bleeding leg and he ran to her.
"Watch out!" Aqua stumbled. Leo looked back and saw a hound leaping for him. He then felt a crushing force on his chest, he was pinned down. The long claws dug into his shirt, shredding it, and then piercing his skin, drawing blood.
He winced at the red hot claws touching him. In a second the head rolled off and fell to the side, the body turned limp and then flopped to the ground. He was breathing heavy. "Thanks for he distraction." Aqua limped to him.
"Cold as ever I see." Leo grinned again, nothing could break his smile. Aqua rolled her eyes and looked out the window. The sun was coming up. "DAWN!!!!" She yelled at the top of her lungs. The light hit the windows and reflected into the castle
The wraiths screeched and the hounds whimpered and ran off at the sight of the sun. Aries slumped to the ground with Gemini at his side, they were both battered and bleeding in various places. "Now we have to wait another 4 years." Aries sighed in relief.
Aqua's head felt dizzy she looked down and saw the blood oozing out. "Too...much...blood." She panted. Black dots danced around her vision. Leo looked at her and knew she was about to fall. He touched her shoulder to assure that he was here.
Aqua slapped his hand away. "I can...take care of....m-myself." She winced. She took one single step and lost balance. Leo caught her just in time, his hand wrapped around her waist. "You are so stubborn." He laughed. His laugh was the last thing Aqua heard as she slipped into darkness.
Scorpio saw Leo's hands on Aquarius. His blood boiled. "Get your hands off of her!" He ordered. "I'm sorry sir but if I did that, she would fall." Leo was carrying her bridal style. Scorpio slowly smiled. "Of course, let me show you where to go." He grit his teeth.
"I'll be back darling." He spoke to Virgo. Virgo blinked at the word 'darling' was that intended towards her? Virgo looked at the clock. "3 hours left." She took note of it.
Leo gently placed her on the bed, the maid wrapped a bandage around her leg. Scorpio was going to regret this but he wanted to talk to Virgo more. "Would you like to stay and watch her? He exhaled after.
"Me?" Leo stared in surprise. Scorpio was never going to admit the real reason. "Just stay and make sure she doesn't do anything stupid." Scorpio said. Leo nodded frantically and looked at him as he left the room and then he turned his attention to Aquarius.
The maid was peeling the black armor off of her. Leo felt his face flush as he quickly turned the opposite way. The maid looked up at him. "Don't worry, she is wearing clothes under." She confirmed.
Leo sighed in relief and turned around again, as the maid took the chest piece off Leo almost fainted at what he saw.
