A/N: If you get confused, just re-read the chapter A Court Of Nightmares. Also the pic above is Hydrus.

Lyra looked at Hydrus, confused. "Who are you?"

Hydrus bit his lip. "In the future we're supposed to date and we got married.

Ophiuchus teleported in the room. "What's going on?"

Hydra grinned. "We hacked the system and your maze game is on pause right now. Then we made everyone come to this room because we have important information."

Ophiuchus rolled her eyes. "Out with it then!"

Phoenix cleared her throat. "I did some searching and I found Cetus. I spied on him and found out that he wants to take over the constellation kingdom and kill king Cepheus, queen Cassiopeia and princess Andromeda. So he's been working on a way to hypnotize the zodiacs into becoming evil so they'll help him take over the kingdom."

Lyra smiled. "We told king Cepheus about it and he's dealing with Cetus right now. I'm glad that that asshole is off the streets."

Hydra blinked in surprise. "Oh. The future zodiacs must have turned on him in the future and killed him because he's supposed to die."

Hydrus' eyes were popping out of his head. "So the zodiacs didn't go crazy from power urges?"

Hydra shrugged. "I guess not. I'm sorry but, HAHA! The zodiac enthusiast group was right all along. The zodiacs weren't to blame for destroying the world!"

"So, can you let us live?" asked Taurus while looking at Hydrus.

"I-I have to think about this. Oh my god! The love of my life, whom I watched get murdered, is standing right in front of me and I've been wrong about the zodiacs all along!"

Lyra looked at Hydra weirdly. "Why do I date a crazy guy in the future."

Hydra sighed. "He didn't go crazy until he watched you get murdered."

"O-oh."

Ophiuchus stomped her foot. "I don't care if their powers didn't make them go crazy! They still have the potential to destroy the world! Therefore we should kill them and get it over with. Who's going first?"

Hydrus closed his eyes and concentrated. "Ophi, wait! I know you want revenge but... I need time to think."

"But we're all dead except for Leo anyway. Why does any of this matter?" asked Aries.

Ophiuchus bit her lip. "I-it doesn't. You're all dead anyway!"

"LIE!" Hydra smirked. "When the simulation ends, every participant gets to come back. Dead or alive."

Ophiuchus panicked. "That's, that's not true!"

Hydrus sighed. "Yes it is. To be honest, I didn't want to kill these guys. I don't care about their fates. All I wanted was my love back."

"How do I die in the future?" asked Lyra.

Hydrus glared at the zodiacs.

"Don't name names!" warned Hydra.

"One of them killed you. They were about to kill me too until Hydra brought us back in time..."

***

After Hydra and Hydrus went back in time...

Hydrus P.O.V

Me and my twin sister landed in a village. I couldn't believe my eyes! The world was intact!

Hydra smiled at me. "It worked! We have time to change our fate!"

I felt a tightness in my chest. Poor Lyra, she didn't deserve to die like that. We were only married a few hours before they took her away from me... I have to stop this. "We can kill them."
