Power Of Twelve - A Zodiac Story

Chapter 50(!!!): Scorpio

Taurus was great, but I've realised that Virgo is the one for me.

I couldn't tell her now, obviously, so I said, "Yeah, sure, of course I know where it is. What type of secret ninja-spy do you take me for? I also know where Talaanz is being awakened, if you wanted to know that."

"Woah, Scorpio I'm impressed," Leo smiled head.

"Ofat me, his hand holding the back of his head.

"Of course you are, you overgrown pussy cat."

"Stop it with the jokes," he laughed. "I'm flattered I'm important enough to be made fun of, but we don't really have the time. So if you could tell us the stuff we need to know, maybe we could set off and kick some ass? Pretty please?"

"Fine, whatever. I'll tell you. But don't expect me to not have my revenge. The Prince of the Zodiacs always has his revenge..." I began to laugh manically but Jackie cut me off.

"Yeah, yeah, we get it. You're strong or whatever. Can we start the stupid plan now?"

Well if she was gonna be like that...

Revenge would be even better!!!

Suddenly, there was a huge crash. We all had to duck as some debris was thrown our way.

"What the hell was that?" Cancer asked worriedly, looking at me. Yeah, sure I have all the answers. I shrugged back at him.

"You mean, this wasn't part of your plan to free us?" Aquarius asked.

"I've freed you! Why the hell do I need a bunch of explosions?" I replied, as another explosion quickly followed the first.

"Damn, this place is under attack. Could it be them?" Cap asked all of us. The others looked at the floor, while I was confused to who they were.

"Who's they?"

"The Starry Heavens," came the swift reply. The others all looked shocked and worried. Even Leo! Were they really that powerful? Strangely, my legs also began to feel weak.

'What the hell is going on!?' I thought.

Simple, really, came the reply. You know how powerful the Starry Heavens are from your friends and their worries have been transferred to you.

'That's absurd! I don't think they're powerful at all!'

They beat Pisces on Holy Spirit. I say they, I mean their leader the Pharaoh. Pisces was lying in a crater and everything.

'No...no....no way!' I quickly dismissed those thoughts. She had to be lying! Holy Spirit was the ultimate power!

Not if you get beaten in two blows, Scorpio.

I nearly dropped dead of shock. What the hell? Just two blows? Two blows!!?? There was possibly no way -

Scorpio, you know I'm not lying. Holy Spirit was beaten in two blows which was used by a Zodiac who has entered it more than once.

That hit me like a bullet. He had entered it more than once, so he must have got used to it. And he was beaten by two strikes? I looked at my hand, it was shaking crazily.

I can't be scared, can I? What the hell was this pit in my stomach? I was always the fearless one, the one who was all the others nightmare and now I've discovered that we can all be beat by two strikes even in Holy Spirit.
