"Get up." Leo shook Aquarius violently. She slowly opened her eyes, still tired from not getting two nights of sleep. "Help, I'm dying." She said sarcastically. "I need coffee." Gemini sat up with droopy eyes.

"I need a shot of vodka." Sagittarius rubbed his head, hair pointing out at all angles. "Oh my BACK!" Taurus twisted his back until a loud crack was heard. "Ew." Cancer made a disgusted face. "Is it time to kill things?" Aries seemed energized and ready to go.

Silver sat up with sudden urgency. "He is coming!" Everybody looked at him. "What?! Now?!" Pisces gasped. "Shh calm down." Aries rubbed her arms. "Just kidding." Silver snickered. "WHY YOU LITTLE!" Virgo reached out choke him but Scorpio pulled her back.

"Nice to see somebody has some humor." Scorpio glared at him in anger. "Oops?" Silver shrugged. "Please don't do that." Aquarius had a mini heart attack. "Hey where is Rose?" Silver looked around for his sister.

There was a short message written in the dirt where she slept at night. Sorry brother. "What does that mean?" Aries blinked in confusion. "Oh shit." Aquarius paced back and forth. "Share your thoughts!" Taurus reminded her. "She must have gone to the commander!" Aquarius gasped.

"What?! Why would she do that?!" Silver stared in astonishment. "If you guys completed your mission, would you have been rewarded?" Aquarius asked, squinting. "Yes, we would have gotten gold and our freedom." Silver answered.

"That's it! She wants her freedom, so she is going to complete her mission, we need to move! She must have went at night so chances are they are coming soon." Aquarius said.

Ophichus grabbed his backpack and stood next to Silver. "Let's go." He said. They walked further through the dense forest. A gross slurping sound was ahead. "Wait shh." Silver said, recognizing the sound.

The peeked from behind the bushes and saw three tall creatures thudding around, they had a long tail with spikes at the end, a skinny body, and thick head with bulging eyes. On the side of their body was an emblem of fire. "That's the commander's emblem." Silver whispered.

"They are seekers, Rose must have warned them you guys have powers so he sent these instead." Silver concluded. "Well guys, it's time I said goodbye." Aries sighed. "Shut up don't talk like that!" Pisces put a hand on his cheek.

"We need to take them out." Aquarius looked around the area. There was a long branch hanging over the seekers. A short screech was emitted from them. "Leo and Aries, sneak up behind one and take it out, I will go on that branch and take care of another. Cancer order you skeleton people to attack the third, Pisces if anything goes wrong start hurling stuff at them, Virgo if I fall off the branch, catch me." Aquarius planned.

They all nodded. Virgo sighed at her job but agreed anyway. "Wait you can't go, it's too dangerous!" Leo grabbed her shoulder. "Cut the movie cliché and stop talking." Aquarius shrugged his hand off and snuck over to the tree.

Aries and Leo disguised themselves and carefully made their way to one of the seekers. Cancer had her spell ready, repeating it to herself in her mind. Aquarius scooted to almost the very edge of the branch, the branch began dropping under her weight but didn't go too low.

"Geez I need to cut some food." She said to herself. Jump on one, twist the neck, jump on one, twist the neck, simple as that. She thought. She took shaky breaths, feelings the shot of adrenaline pumping through her veins. She heard a loud thud and then a screech. One of the seekers went down, Leo and Aries were bashing it's head in with a rock in each hand.

It squealed and writhed at the attack, it couldn't attack back. The other two seekers screamed in despair for their fallen teammate and ran to help him. Aquarius grunted in frustration as they moved from below her. She gave a look to Virgo, who nodded, understanding what had to be done.
