Zodiac High: The 13th Zodiac

Constellation Positions, Our Positions

Scorpio's POV
"fUCK." I cursed as I dodged swiftly over the fallen rocks around me. "L-Language!" Cancer squeaked as she hopped over a giant crater on the floor. Me? Language? "But Aries is even worse!" I protested and pointed at the male who is spluttering out a wide variety of the colourful language. "Let's leave the arguments for later alright? For now, let's get outta here." Taurus urged as he struggled to hold the still insane and out of water Aquarius in his grasp. The Chinese Zodiacs seems to snap out of their daze and hurriedly transformed into their animal forms and dashed passed us. "Those b*stards." I cursed and was about to full on sprint ahead until a voice stopped me in my tracks. "Virgo?" A voice I recognised as Leo's called out as I looked back, noticing the female trying to get Kaiti out of the snakes' grasp. What is she thinking?! "Virgo!" I shouted, catching the black haired female's attention. "Come on now! Let's go!" "...You guys go ahead of me. Don't forget to get Pyxis. Get her outta here. I'll get Kaiti out of this mess and I'll catch up soon. Alright?" Virgo affirmed as she tried to get Kaiti out of the floundering mess she's in. Leo hesitantly nodded before looking at others. "Let's go." He said as the rest of my friends nodded and headed off. 

I just stood there, watching her. I have this urge to protect her. "V-Virgo, let me be!" Kaiti shouted angrily, "I betrayed my friends and everything! I deserve to die right here and now. I.... I've been wanting to die for ages now so... please..." Kaiti trailed off, unsure what to say next I suppose. "You don't want that do you?" "...h-huh?" "You don't want to die right now. Yes, you are tired of living for centuries but you still have this will to live on do you?" "W-What do you mean?" "There are people you care about and want to protect! For instance, Ophiuchus, your Chinese Zodiac friends and, well, I don't deserve to say this but me!" "It's no use..." "Pardon?" "It's no use! Ophiuchus hates me for what I did to him and all of my other.... 'friends' disliked me for what I did, which I can understand. You... I'm not sure myself how I feel about you. Mire... she is the only one that cares about me. Though I think it's because- gnh!" Kaiti gasped as the snakes coiled themselves around her tighter and tighter. The rocks are starting to really come down and the cavern is ready to collapse. It's up to the point where I need to punch or kick some rocks away.

"Virgo!" I panted "hurry up!" "..." Virgo just desperately tried to move the snakes out, muttering spells and doing complicated flicking wand movements. "...Scorpio, leave." Huh? What did Virgo say? "Leave." She repeated, not looking at me. There is no point arguing with her, I know she will win. I turned myself away from her and started walking, leaving my best friend behind with falling rocks and crashes in the background. As a stone aimed at me while falling, I just simply knocked it away with my arm without a care in the world. Let's just hope... Virgo came out alive. "...Wait little 'un, I have a favour to ask."
I stopped in my tracks and looked back. Villa. She's here. "....It can save all of us, including Virgo and the Cat." She continued. "...I'm listening."

"I want you to head out of this place in a hurry and meet up with the rest of the Zodiacs. You all need to cooperate and surround this mountain. When surrounding this mountain, go in the degrees and coordinates of the sky; if I am right, you've been taught Star Gazing in school. It shouldn't be a problem to us constellations to do that but beware of bystanders around the area. One you all surrounded the mountain, I want you to all say 'Zōidiakos' in sync. Doing so, an entrance should open up and go inside. All of us with a bit of Zodiac blood, no matter who, will get inside. Thus, we can all escape." Taking in all the instructions from the wiser constellation, I nodded. Instead of going straight away, I have a question that I'm really curious about. "What is the question little 'un?" "W-Why Greek? Why not old French, German, Gaelic or English? Virgo never really say spells in Greek." "...You'll see and learn when the time comes. Now go and flee, and pass down my message, from me to you."

I nodded and started sprinting. Heading out isn't much of a problem. Though it does felt weird without my tail weighing me down or using it to hit the rocks away. My arms are sore and my feet hurt. Moon Forms.... No, that's wrong. Humans, in general, are weak. As I made it outside, I examined my surroundings, past trees, bushes, animals and buildings in the background, looking for my friends. By doing so, a redhead caught my attention. It must've been Capricorn! No. It might be Capricorn. Remembering Villa's warning about those bystanders, I examined the people closest to the redhead. There are around thirteen in total so yeah. Let's see; a brunette with an unconscious female, an soft orangey haired female, two blondes, an unconscious guy, oh and another redheadish guy... They must be Taurus with Pyxis, Cancer, the pair of twins, Ophiuchus and Aries probably (the annoying b*stard). Target locked, ready for assa- I mean, I found who I was looking for.
