In the near future, the people of this world acknowledges the afterlife.
These paranormal entities sometimes get stuck, causing problems.
It's the jobs of a specific task force to "help" them move on by hunting them.
But lately There's been another...
Scorpio and Virgo are still trapped inside the catacombs.
Scorpio: Is there even an exit?
Virgo: I feel like we're walking in circles. Like a maze of some sort.
suddenly the ground started getting damp and soon water was slowly rising up. The water rose up up to they're waist
Scorpio: Hopefully it doesn't get any higher.
Virgo: Why can't swim haha?
Scorpio: I can swim, it's the floating part I have issues with.
Virgo: What? How is that possible.
Just then a boat was slowly coming towards them. Scorpio and Virgo waited until it got closer. There was a figure rowing the boat.
Kharon: Hi, my name is Kharon.

Scorpio: As in River Styx Kharon?
Kharon: Correct.
Scorpio: Did we die or something?
Kharon: Haha, no no, I transported you two here.
Virgo: Transported?.... Did you push us in here?
Kharon: Yes and no, that was was my minion, but you did fall through my portal.
Scorpio: That explains why the others haven't found us, we're actually not under the shop.
Kharon: Exactly!
Scorpio: But that doesn't explain why you brought us here.
Kharon: I'll get to that but first let's get you on the boat.
Kharon assisted Virgo on the boat and reached out for Scorpio.
Kharon: you coming?
Scorpio: Hold on, is this the actual River Styx?
Kharon: Yeah.....
Scorpio: so if I dipped my whole body in here, I can be invincible?
Kharon: Yeah...No, doesn't work like that anymore, we changed the water, we don't want another Achilles roaming the earth.
Scorpio: Damn it.
Scorpio climbed on the boat and dried off.
Scorpio: Ok now spit ferryman.
Virgo: yeah why are we here?
Kharon explained to them how the River Styx is actually a maze to help keep souls from returning to the mortal world.
Virgo: So it was a maze.
Kharon then proceeded to explain that some souls managed to escape and are currently in the mortal world.
Scorpio: So don't you usually have people for that?
Kharon: we do, but all of resources are making sure nothing else escapes.
Scorpio: So what are you saying.
Kharon: I'm just warning you, some harmless souls escaped but there were some evil ones that left also.
Scorpio: big deal, I can handle them.
Kharon: No you don't get it, these specific souls, have the power to tear open the barriers that keep the dead and living separate.
Virgo: ok, now it's serious.
Scorpio: Do you know where they are?
Kharon: uhhhh no. But one wherever an unnatural phenomenon is happening chances are they're involved.
Scorpio: Great, so is there where you give us cool weapons?
Kharon: You've watched too many movies.
Virgo: I don't want to sound rude but, how do we get out?
Kharon: oh right, go under my boat and swim to the bottom.
Scorpio: ok?
Kharon: just trust me.
Virgo: Thanks
They both jumped into the water.
Kharon: Oh and if you help us, when you guys die, I give you a ride on the house.
Virgo: uhhh sounds good?
Scorpio: Haha good one, but I can't die.
Kharon rolled his eyes.
Virgo: Let's go.
They both got under the boat and started swimming towards the bottom. They started to see a light and quickly swam towards it, as they got closer they felt their buoyancy flip as if they were swimming up. When the broke the surface they found themselves in a water fountain and sitting there was all the Zodiacs just staring at them.
Scorpio: hmmm, usually I'll have a witty comment, but I got nothing.
