Zodiac High: The 13th Zodiac

The Battle of the Zodiacs

Gemini's POV
They fought and I watched.....
"Advantage item; Chains of Guardians; Rank A. Permission of The Sanctuary; ¡Equip!" Virgo said between dodges and casting spells. The silver accessory in her hair turned into the chains I've probably know too well, shackling the female with two loose ends that can shackle someone or extend in her will. Naja just kept her eyes on Virgo, not glancing at somewhere else at all. She is completely focused in trying to get Virgo. "G-Gemini, come on! Others... others are distracting Kaiti. Let's go and free.... Ophiuchus...! Aqua you too..." Libra urged tiredly as she wobbled her way towards me. I caught her in my arms and put her arm over my shoulders as Aquarius reluctantly did the same. We slowly carried her towards the giant rock Ophiuchus is tied to.

After getting past Scorpio whipping her ivy whip with a click of her tongue trying to hit Naja and Taurus charging with his mace at Kaiti, we got to Ophiuchus. I almost feel bad for him. He looks like he's been through a lot, having his clothes damp and torn and the side of his head bleeding slightly. His hand dangled lifelessly by his side and his head is tilted in a natural, unconscious way. As I reached up to touch the chains, a murderous shriek could be heard. "DDDOOONNNNN'TTTT YOUUUU DARE TO TOUCH OPHIUCHUSSSSS!!!!" Kaiti screamed as she took out a set of......keys.

"我呼唤您们，全十二生肖， 在十二生肖里的故事和传说。过来帮助我！"
(I summon you all(formal), all twelve (Chinese) Zodiacs, in the Twelve (Chinese) Zodiacs' Stories and Legend. Come and give me a helping hand!)
Kaiti shrieked.

Suddenly, colourful wisps of colour, very much like the one with Naja's keys, swirled around miraculously and flawlessly around Kaiti before each formed into their designated gateways. Out came.... the other Chinese Zodiacs... They all have the same, lifeless expression. They meandered aimlessly and then towards Kaiti, bowing down to her with no emotions or words whatsoever. They are completely obedient. "Well then..." Taurus chuckled nervously, "looks like she brought some allies with her. Virgo's right, her plans don't always go the way she wants them to be." "W-What do we do now?!" Leo asked. "Simple, we each try and take one down with us." Scorpio smirked as she whipped her Ivy Whip in the floor harshly. "Fair enough." Aries said as he positioned himself with the Blaze. "I can see who can I take down and who I can't defeat and see my theory on some people being more powerful than me; perfect timing!" "Gemini, Libra. You two stay back and get Ophiuchus. After all, you two have the weakest items and in....underrated conditions." Ivan said as he stared at us two. "I hope you two understand-" "Yeah yeah, you should stay back too!" Cancer shot. "Well, I can manage myself. Don't worry!" Ivan laughed.

And so, we all agreed with taking down one Chinese Zodiacs each, with the exception of me and Libra. This went better then I think.... Normally we all have different things in our minds and argue about it but this time... We didn't even fight once! I'm so glad I have such amazing friends.... I love you all... "鼠，鸡，保护巨蛇持有者，大家帮我打他们。(mouse, rooster, protect the Serpent Bearer, others help me fight them.)" Kaiti ordered. Not knowing what gibberish she spouted out of her mouth, I focused on the lock on the shackles on the unconscious Ophiuchus in front of me. I just need to free him and get him outta here right? "Libra." I said while holding out my hand. She blinked a few times
and nodded hesitantly, pulling out one strand of her metal hair.

Taking the metal wire-like material in my hand, I began picking the lock. But as soon as I insert the strand into the lock, I felt a huge impact on my face as I did so. At first it was numb, and then intense pain started to spread around my cheeks like an ink drop on paper. I dropped the wire-like material on the floor and staggered back while holding my face, blood trickling down my cheeks as it falls onto my hands. My face hurts. "Gemini!" Aquarius shouted out as she cupped my face with her two hands. ".....Hey Aqua-" Feeling really uncomfortable, I blushed lightly before trying to shrug Aquarius off. "It's nothing, it's just a scratch." I comforted. "A scratch?!" Aquarius deadpanned in disbelief, "you call this harsh slice a scratch?!" Huh? A slice? "Aqua what do you me-" "I'll get revenge. Don't worry." Aquarius reassured with this... murderous aura around her.
