Taylor’s POV:I glared at Cody as we appeared back in the main building. Cody stood there with Evan, Martin, Libra and Virgo. Evan suddenly lifted me up.“Come on, we’re leaving. Now that your friends know where we are, we have to re-locate.” He stated simply. I began kicking away when suddenly I heard a voice.“Stop.” Fallon barked. Evan grinned.“Trying to play the hero?” Evan asked. Fallon glared at him.“I’m not trying to do anything but the right thing!” He shouted, suddenly transforming. But he wasn’t in his usual Capricorn form. His body was covered in armour as his eyes changed to a brighter red with blue encircling his pupil. A large claymore was now in his hands, covered in blue flames. He glared at them. Virgo stepped forward to stop them, but she was sliced in half but his sword. Virgo’s corpse fell to the ground with a hideous thud. I stared at the body in horror. Markus suddenly stepped out, kicking Evan in the face. He quickly grabbed me and looked at Fallon.“Come on, we’ve got to go!” He stated. Fallon shook his head.“Libra’s going to stop time. I’ve got to kill them all first,” He stated. Libra grinned as he started at Markus and I, but Fallon stepped in front, stabbing him through the middle. Libra coughed up a bit of blood and looked towards Evan, but Evan just stared back, unmoved. Fallon turned to Evan and looked back at us.“Markus, take good care of Taya, you hear? If you hurt her, then I’ll never forgive you…” Fallon muttered. Markus shook his head.“I’m not leaving without you!” He shouted. Fallon glared at me.“Miss cancer doesn’t like blood. Take her home. And if I die, they’ll come after you. Who will protect our princess then?” He asked. Markus sighed, picking me up.“Be careful, Fallon.” He stated. Fallon nodded. I watched Fallon dissapear from my sight as we exited. Saul, Katie, Mara, Cassie and Taurus were all standing there, staring at us. I felt something tearing from the pit of my stomach and suddenly screamed. Markus looked at me strangely as tears streamed down my face.“Taya, what’s wrong?” He asked. I shook my head.“I feel like… like a part of me was just devoured by darkness…” I panted. Markus held me tightly.“It’s okay Taya… He’s okay…” Markus whispered. I nodded, though I was unsure as to how true that statement truly was. If I could feel something… then surely that meant…

Fallon’s POV:I lunged at Evan, my sword out. He grinned at me, moving his hand out as I neared him. I let out a loud yell. This was for everything he had put me through. This was for everything he had done. This was for Markus and Taylor… this was for my dad. I gritted my teeth as I grew closer and closer, my blade feeling lighter and lighter. I felt my heart pound.

Fallon…

I gritted my teeth. No. Not now! Evan grinned as he watched me fall to the ground. I felt the darkness twisting in my stomach, engulfing the entirety of my body. I reached out as I felt my heart pounding slower and slower, the darkness beginning to take over… dark ancient spirits… were truly… bastards…you didn’t think that after all of this I would leave you alone, did you?I felt my consciousness dwindle down into nothing as everything went black

Katie’s POV:When I entered through the door, I found myself on the pirate ship. I looked around. What the heck was going on? I stared forward and spotted Taylor on the center of the ride, tied to it. She stared at me, looking freaked. I knew that she hated being on this ride. At least it wasn’t… moving? I felt the ride suddenly jostle as it began swinging back and forth. Cody suddenly appeared on the other side. I stood up angrily, then sat back down, feeling like I was going to fall out. He grinned.“Come on Katie. You want to protect your leader don’t you?” He asked. I glared at him.“Cody, what are you doing? I thought you cared about us. All of us!” I shouted, turning into my leo form. I found it much easier to balance once I had my cat-reflexes. I ran at him and gripped his shirt.“Don’t you have any remorse at all when you hurt us?” I asked. Cody sighed“more than you’ll ever know. But that doesn’t matter. I… just have to keep going or else.” He stated. I looked at him.“Or else what?” I asked. Cody shook his head.“It’s not important Katie.” He snarled, blasting me back with fire. Taylor cringed as a bit singed her ass. I glared at Cody.“What the hell Cody? Calm down you just killed Taylor’s butt!” I shouted. Cody shrugged.“Sorry tails. Anyways, Katie. Stop putting this off and fight me.” He snarled. I glared at him angrily.“I don’t want to Cody…” I muttered. Cody grinned. I looked over at Taylor, noticing her face was turning green.“Can you let her go? She’s gonna puke…” I stated. Cody smirked.“Beat me first” He stated. I sighed. Well… I knew it was either me or him so… I lunged at Cody, my claws out. He dodged and I flew onto the edge of the boat, gripping on with my claws as I scrambled to get back on. Cody stood in front of me, grinning widely. I glared at him as he started crushing my hands. I winced in pain, trying to hold on, but it was too hard. I gritted my teeth, pulling away and dropping. Before I hit the ground, I felt something holding me up. Water… water from the ground was pushing me up to the side of the boat. I grinned. Taylor. I climbed up the side, peering over the edge. Cody stood there, enjoying the ride, but looking slightly upset. I leapt up onto the side of the boat, smacking him in the face.“Miss me, bitch?” I snarled. Cody spun around, but I furiously blasted fire at him, knocking him into the next row of seats. I leapt down and grabbed him, but he too grabbed me. We both started angrily hitting back and forth. I suddenly smacked Cody hard enough that he fell into the pole. He stared back at me and grinned, grabbing Taylor’s foot. I stared at him and began running after him, but he quickly turned into flames and vanished with Taylor. I cursed as another door appeared. I sighed and leapt through it.

Saul’s POV:I entered through, feeling the sudden chill of the summer night… but summer shouldn’t be cold, should it? I stared at the carousel, stepping onto it and looking around. I heard a muffled noise. Crossing the marry-go-round, I spotted Taylor, her hands tied onto the pole attached to the white rabbit. I stepped towards her, but was blocked by the other Scorpio.“Come on, little boy.” He sneered, throwing a blast of ice at the ride, making it go at a reasonable pace. I grinned, turning into my scorpion form and stepping towards him, grinning.“This should be fun.” I snarled. His grin spread even wider as he lunged at me, his claws out. I quickly spun around, shooting my tail out at him. He dodged it gracefully and swung at my neck. I attempted to dodge the attack, but I quickly realized that my tail was now stuck into the ride. I gripped it as his claw grazed the side of my head, causing a trickle of blood to run down. He smirked.“You okay, little boy?” He asked. I grinned at him.“Fuck you.” I snarled, pulling my tail back out of the ground and blasting an ice beam at him. He dodged it, causing the ice to hit the controls and make it spin out of control. Scorpio grinned darkly.“Isn’t this fun?” He asked. I glared at him.“If you don’t want to die, then let her go” I stated. Scorpio smirked, tapping my nose.“Silly little boy. It’s not that I don’t want to die. I do. But if you can’t defeat me then I’m going to look to someone else for the sweet release from life.” He stated. I smacked him across the face.“You moron. Trust me you don’t want to die” I snarled. Scorpio glared at me, striking me across my face. I touched my lip, feeling the wet sensation of blood. “You don’t know what I’ve gone through…” He snarled. I spun around just in time to dodge another attack from him. He turned to me, his hand turning into ice as he swung it at me. I caught it in my fists as I turned back into a normal human.“Stop. I’ve been through enough. Stop being a stuck up bitch!” I shouted, tossing him off of the ride. He grinned as the ride slowed. His mangled body was leaning against the fence of the ride. I stared at him in horror. Scorpio smirked.“You lose…” He muttered, stabbing himself in the wrist with his tail. I just stared at what used to be another Scorpio. but wait… what did he mean by “I lose”? I spun around, noticing that Taylor was no longer on the ride. Shit. A door suddenly appeared on the carousel. Swallowing my sorrow, I walked in through the door.

“So, now what?” Mara’s voice echoed throughout the entirety of the room. I shook my head, looking from side to side.“Well, there’s a door at the end of my hall, So maybe one of the doors will lead here” I stated. I heard the rushing of feet, then nothing. I sighed, turning to face my door. What laid beyond it? I never found out because I was instantly knocked out.When I awoke, I was in a hall of mirrors with Virgo. I looked at my hands. Cuffed again. And my feet as well. I glared at Virgo and attempted to send a stream of swear words at her, but was stopped my a scarf that was tightly wound around my mouth. I stuck with just glaring at her. She rolled her eyes and looked around, irritated. “Where is he…” She muttered. I raised an eyebrow at her. Virgo simply stared onward.“Hey. Sorry I’m late.” A voice called out. I turned and stared, shocked at who had stepped in.Mara’s POV:I entered the door, looking around. Where was I? All I saw were mirrors… I reached forward, but felt a smooth substance beneath my hand. crap. I thought the house of mirrors in play land was crap… but this one was good! Wait… that meant- Before I could even react, I was hit across the face into a mirror. It shattered as my bruised human body hit the ground. I gritted my teeth as I stood up, but before I could summon my inner energy, I was hit again. I looked up just in time to see a figure go back into the mirror. The other Gemini! I closed my eyes quickly and summoned my inner strength, then turned around, gripping his fist. He just stared at me as his other hand came up and blasted me with wind. I fell back through the next few mirrors before I regained my balance… now where was he. I looked around me as two of him appeared. Crap. Which one was real? I quickly leapt into a vacant mirror and ran to try and find a place to summon my duplicate before I was dead. I felt something grip my arm. I turned around and saw Gemini staring back at me. Thinking fast, I kicked him in the shin and dashed off. As I ran I saw Taylor.“Taylor!” I cried, pulling my duplicate out with me. Taylor looked up at me, but she was tied and gagged. Before I could even try to help her I heard a loud THUMP. I turned around to see my clone fall onto the ground and disappear as Gemini glared at us.“No cheating…” He muttered. I glared at him.“Fine. Then that means you have to fight me fair and square. Without your double.” I snarled. He grinned slightly and nodded.“Deal.” He stated, fading back into the mirror. I dashed into another mirror, fading through to the other side. No one there. I ran back into the mirror and appeared in another area. No one there- wait. It suddenly occurred to me. The mirror world. I leapt back into the mirror and onto the other side… in my sense. I stared into the smoke that surrounded me. That was all this world was. Grey smoke. I dashed down into the smoke blindly as I held up my hands, prepared to fight at any moment. I heard a sudden laugh.“You know, this is where we’re supposed to live for all eternity. This is where we were born and where we will die. All we are is smoke and mirrors… and I mean that for all of us… not just Gemini” He stated. I spun around, unable to see him. I sighed, closing my eyes.“We aren’t illusions. We’re gifted…” I muttered. I could practically see him smiling.“Okay then. Why doesn’t Zeus show himself to us to show us the way?” He asked. I smiled calmly.“Hera comes to us.” I stated. I heard a silence then-“She does… well… isn’t that something…” He muttered. I felt a sudden blade at my throat.“I’m sorry, other Gemini, but rules are rules. One of us must die and im afraid it wont be me.” He stated. I smirked as my eyes opened slowly and I pulled my hand away from his stomach. I gripped his wrist and pulled him away from my throat as blood spilt down his clothes. He looked up at me in shock, then to the medium sized shard of glass that was now plunged into his stomach. He sighed mouthing something as he slumped back and we appeared in the real world. His blood was smeared across the mirror. He looked up at me.“If you love someone… don’t let them go…” He muttered, coughing up a bit of blood. His eyes suddenly dulled. I turned away, my heart feeling heavy… I killed someone… like me. Gripping my head, I phased through the mirror to find Taylor. But she was already gone…

“What do you mean?” I asked. Evan sighed shaking his head.“I mean that turning you into your cancer form wasn’t my true intention. You see, because you’re the moon you have an extra form from everyone else. Your darkness form. It can only be brought out by driving one over the edge. Good night Cancer.” Evan stated, all the lights suddenly turning out. I smirked.“I’m not afraid of the dark, you moron” I stated. I felt the top opening and heard raindrops hitting the water. Rain? What was so bad about… I froze as I saw a flash of light. Crap. Thunder. I cringed as I covered my ears, hitting my head against the wall as I backed into the corner. I felt the tank shake as I sat in the corner. I looked around, trying to find a way to escape. I looked at my claw and smashed it into the side of the tank. Nothing. I smashed it into the glass again. Still nothing.“Is this fucking shatter proof?” I snarled. I began repeatedly smashing my claws into the side of the tank. I felt the small glass cage shake violently around me which caused me to hit harder. I couldn’t be in here without anyone to help me. I felt something swell up within me as I saw my reflection in the side of the tank as another bolt of lightning came crashing down. My eyes had turned an orangey-yellow coral colour. I gritted my teeth as I shook the thoughts of destruction away. I had to remain calm. If I kept this up, who knows what would happen. I huddled myself into the corner and hugged my knees. It was the same way I got over everything before. I felt my eyes closing slowly. I suddenly leapt up as I saw the glass falling around me and the water releasing, causing it to crash down around me and spread across the floor. Everyone stared at the boy who stood before me. Fallon. I stared at him as he just stared at me. He turned around, his eyes darkening as he transformed.“Forcing something upon someone is sick. Especially a woman. With you, I had no regrets, or so I thought. Now, I’m done with you,” He looked up at the sky, “And I’m done with you, you dick-less asshole!” His eyes turned back to me, “I’m sorry for what I’ve done wrong. Now get out before it’s too late.” he stated. I nodded and grabbed his wrist, dashing in the other direction of the dark horoscopes. I felt my heart thundering as I felt Fallon’s hand slip from mine“I can’t… I’m sorry. I can never go back for what I’ve done now…” He muttered. I turned around, but there was nothing but an arrow left in blue flames, slowly dying. I looked at the direction in which it was pointing and followed until I came to a large room with many levels. On one side was a door, but only one door. But looking up I counted about fifty pathways all reaching up towards the surface. I sighed, dashing forward. It was only a matter of time before I came to… the… top? I looked around me as I entered the other side. Why was I on the ceiling? I looked up and saw Saul, Mara, Cassie, Katie and Markus below me.“Hey! Up here!” I called. They all looked up.“Holy shit how did you get up there?” Saul asked. I shrugged.“If your willing to believe that we gained special powers that also gave us awesome kung-fu abilities and that theres a hide-out underneath play land… wait how did you get here?” I asked. Cassie smirked.“Well, you sent out a distress call and we saw thunder, so using Saul and we followed the source of water and sudden density in the air to here.” Cassie explained. I sighed, looking around.“Just go through that door, okay?” I asked. They all nodded and ran through. Suddenly they appeared all over the place.“Shit… this is like watching labyrinth all over again only its real…” I muttered, rubbing my head.

I opened my eyes, staring at a cement floor. My hands were handcuffed together and my body felt like ice. I looked up, rubbing my head as I looked around the small cell. Cody raised an eyebrow as out eyes met. He grinned at me outside of the small cage as my eyes darkened.“Let me out you ass hole.” I snarled. Cody sighed.“Sorry. I can’t. You’ll thank me later though. Trust me” He stated. I raised an eyebrow, stepping towards him.“Why would I thank you?” I asked. He shrugged.“Because. Being a bad guy is more fun.” He stated. I rolled my eyes.“Oh yes. I’m sure. Now. Open this door before I rip your heart out” I hissed. Cody smirked, stepping forward.“Just how are you going to accomplish that?” He asked. I turned back around angrily, pacing. I looked at the bench and hopped on it. I turned into my cancer form and turned to the door. Cody gave me a strange look.“What’s that for?” He asked. I smirked.“So my clothes don’t fall off.” I stated, dashing at the door, leaping and turning into my tiny crab form. I flew towards the door, but hit some sort of a force field and fell backwards, hitting the ground and changing back into my previous cancer form. I moaned rubbing my head. Cody burst out laughing as I narrowed my eyes at him.“That wasn’t funny you ass!” I snarled. Cody smirked.“Actually it kind of was. Sorry. This door is pretty much cursed with the fact that you can go in but you cant go out unless Evan unlocks it with a certain key.” He stated. I glared at him, gripping the bars with my cuffed hands.“As soon as I’m out of here, I’m kicking your ass” I snarled. Cody laughed slightly.“Right. We’ll see about that.” Cody stated, then suddenly paused. He nodded quickly then turned and started walking off. I sighed looking at the window, trying to see where I was. The only thing I could see was gravel and a path in front of me. I heard something loud pass by my small window and I pulled away, unsure of what it was. I sent the image to the others, but felt it bounce back. Crap. It blocked that out too. I sighed sitting on the bench. Now what? I looked at my wrists and sighed. Even when I transformed, the cuffs just slid further up… I fell back and stared at the ceiling as another loud noise rattled the room. That’s when it hit me. Red. Gravel underneath and around it. A loud, rattling type noise. Well only one thing in this area could be logical and fit the description. I looked out and attempted to look to the side, seeing more red poles going into the ground. I stared through the fence and saw feet. That certainly gave it away.“Fuck…” I muttered, “I’m under play land…”I felt a jolt go up my spine as the door was suddenly opened. Virgo stood before me, spinning the key around her finger.“Come on Cancer. We’ve got some preparing to do before tonight.” She stated. I backed away, glaring at her.“No way in hell” I hissed. She sighed, stepping into the cell.“Come quietly or I’ll call everyone.” She snarled. I glared at her.“I don’t care” I stated, moving around her. She took a step towards me, but I moved further away. She suddenly lunged at me, but I leapt out of the way, stepping on her head as I did so. She glared and spun around, but I cracked her in the face with my foot. I quickly grabbed her around the neck with my hand cuffs and began walking out, holding her tightly. She gripped the chain tightly as I walked with her.“Where’s the exit” I barked. She pointed weakly at a small door. I looked at her tightening.“No funny business.” I snarled, then opened the door. I felt light touch my face and squinted. I felt something weighing at my hands. Virgo was slumped over. I checked her pulse. Still beating, just unconscious. I dropped her and walked forward. I cringed as I felt the world disintegrate around me. I looked around, trying to adjust to the sudden bright lights in what looked to be a laboratory. I tried to move my arms, but they were strapped up. I felt the same cold bonds around my legs. I looked to my left and saw a few shadowed figure, but more importantly I saw my reflection. What the heck was going on? I heard a hideous creaking noise and a small spraying noise and I knew. They were forcing me into my powers. And not just the simple powers, my full cancer form… They still thought Izak was evil… I looked at them and smirked. I could at least play with this for a bit.“Hey! Guess what? I’m NEVER GIVING IN!” I shouted. Evan grinned.“We’ll see about that” he said darkly. I felt a small smile creep across my face. Just like putty in my hands. I felt the water engulfing my face as I took one last breath. I pretended to be holding in the air I had just swallowed and cringed. I opened one eye at them and grinned turning into my cancer form. I felt the bonds break beneath my sudden large claws. I stepped towards the edge and grinned at Evan.“Checkmate” I stated. Evan smirked.“Did you really think that was my true intention?” He asked.

I stood on the rain soaked street, my hair drenched as I stared at the nine others. Mara, Katie and Taurus stood to my left while Cassie, Saul and Markus stood on my right. Fallon stared at us, looking reluctant. I stepped forward, and beckoned for Evan to walk forward. He did as I said.“Why are you here?” I asked darkly. Evan sighed.“Well if we get a complete horoscope set, then we gain ultimate power.” He stated. I placed a hand on my hip.“Then why is there a need for me?” I asked, “Can’t you just wait until your Cancer is reborn?” Evan shook his head, “If it was that simple, then we’d leave you alone.” He stated. I cocked my head to one side.“What do you mean?” I asked, Evan sighed.“There are four horoscope people that are born every generation, aka the leaders. Fate chooses which one leads, but the four optional leaders are Aquarius, Capricorn, Aries and Cancer.” He explained, suddenly changing into his horoscope form “And you’re the leader and it’s more fun to turn a leader” I raised an eyebrow at him, “What makes you think I’ll turn, Aquarius?” I asked. Aquarius shrugged.“because your ruling planet is the moon. And the moon represents darkness. After all, it’s only being lit up by the sun.” He stated. I grinned, holding my claw back as it absorbed the water.“But there’s one problem. We’re in both of my elements.” I stated, as a ball of water appeared in my hand. Evan grinned as he held out a hand, holding back his group. “And we’re in both of mine.” He stated, his hands filling up with both wind and water. I leapt backwards as he threw them at me. I quickly swung the ball of water at him, but he leapt out of the way, forcing wind at me. I felt it hit me and sent me flying backwards. Before I could regain my balance, Evan struck again, sending me onto the ground. I quickly landed on my hands and feet and spun around, kicking him across his legs. He lost his balance, and fell to the ground. We both quickly got up and prepared to attack, but Evan quickly disappeared as well.“You cheap ass!” I shouted. He suddenly hit me from behind. I spun around, searching for him, but couldn‘t find him. I quickly shot water up all around me creating a wall. I suddenly spotted Evan and let the wall go down. Unfortunately as soon as I did that he disappeared. I looked over at Virgo who grinned. It had been an illusion caused by hypnosis. I glared at her, shooting water at all of them. Evan quickly grabbed me. I kicked his leg and twisted away, water energy balling up in my hands as I felt my energy level growing. Evan grinned as I leapt at him, throwing the water at him. He leapt out of the way and spun around, knocking me to the ground with wind. I gritted my teeth, standing back up, but was hit by Evan’s wind attack again. I moaned, continuing to try, but every time Evan just used it again. I felt my eyes closing as I tried to maintain consciousness. Evan smirked and knelt by me.“You ready to give up yet?” He asked. I coughed slightly, my previous form disappearing as I attempted to stand up.“You’re an asshole…”I muttered. Evan sighed, shaking his head as he blasted me with wind, knocking me to the ground and causing me to begin to lose consciousness. He stepped towards me.“Yes, I know. And it’s so much fun.” He stated, grabbing me. I heard Markus shouting something as I heard feet moving across the street, then nothing. fuck… what am I going to do about Skylar? A world suddenly appeared around me as Izak appeared with it. He stood beside me as we walked down this 18th century looking village. I assumed this to be from Izac’s time.

well he’s been in your coat pocket the entire time

..for real?

yes. He snuck in. You know, Skylar can see the future. He knew this was coming, so he came to try and stop it. How ever it was too late so he climbed out of your pocket before you fought Evan.

oh… so what now?

we wait and see what will happen… just be careful, okay?

awe! It almost sounds like your worried about me

don’t push your luck, kid

I felt my dream world disintegrate as I suddenly began to wake up. “Well there we go. I was wondering when you’d come to.” A voice stated. I felt something cold and hard below me. Where was I?
