Portal Jumpers
Aquarius's POV:
As I stirred, I felt a heavy weight on my torso. Blinking awake, I realized that Scorpio's arm was draped on top of of my stomach.
Startled, I jolted up, realizing that I had been sleeping on Scorpio's chest! I quickly threw his arm off of me and hopped off the bed, causing Scorpio to stir.
We must have fallen asleep after goofing around so much last night, I thought, chuckling.
Scorpio elegantly places a hand over his mouth as he lets out a yawn, "Oh? I guess we fell asleep last night," he commented as he rolled out of the bed.
Not saying anything, I dash to my walk-in closet and shut the door. I quickly change into my usual attire. When I exited my closet, I find a note lying on my bed.
Aquarius, I'll be right back. I just went to change. -Scorpio
Well, I guess I'll wait then.
Not long after, Scorpio returns to the dorm room. I grab my coat and phone, and together the two of us leave my dorm room. As we walk down the hall, we catch up to some of the other heroes and villains, all of them sending me concerned looks. I hated it.
Looking down at my feet, I continued to walk next to Scorpio, silently. Just then I heard the sound of the Headmistress's voice. I looked up and saw Headmistress Ursa gather all 12 of the zodiac heroes and villains.
When the entire group of 12 was gathered, the Headmistress spoke, "Students, if you do not have your magic item with you, then please go and fetch it now." I looked down at my arm, my fingers immediately fiddling with the Aquarius constellation charm on the bracelet. I wonder why Headmistress Ursa said we needed out magic items.
Soon, everyone had returned and Headmistress Ursa waved a hand, gesturing for all of us to follow her. The group treks behind her as she goes down a few hallways making turns left and right, at this point I've lost all sense of direction on this labyrinth like path. Then all of a sudden, the group stops, and I - who wasn't paying that much attention- bonked my face into Scorpio's back.
"You ok?" he asks, making a pink sheen come over my cheeks. "Yeah, I'm fine," I mumble as I though of how stupid i must have looked.
Headmistress Ursa clears her throat, gather all of our attentions. She pulls out a key from her pocket and unlocks a set of large 12 feet tall double doors. Slowly pulling the handle open, she motions for us to enter the dimly lit room.
There are flaming torches lighting up the room. Bookshelves lined the grey stone walls, each shelf stacked with books and endless knowledge. In the center of the room was what looked like a giant mirror. A huge glass panel the size of a billboard, shimmering and gleaming in the flicker lights.
Everyone was captivated by the large mirror like object, all standing in front of it, wordlessly staring. Then came a familiar voice.
"Ah, young heroes and villains, welcome to the Maligne room." Everyone jumped at the voice, heads turning to a familiar face, Professor Pegasus.
"This is the portal. It will be taking you and Professor Pegasus to the planet of Melosia," explained Headmistress Ursa.
"Professor Pegasus and I discussed the events that happened last night and it appears that Miss Aquarius is a dreamcatcher. She seems to have the ability to catch or answer messenger dreams. Melosia is in danger and I'm sure you all know why by know as of yesterday night, the Celestial record was missing from the restricted area," Ms. Ursa stated.
Then waving an arm, several backpacks appeared at her feet, "Each of you grab the bag with your emblem on it. You will be traveling with Professor Pegasus to Melosia. Follow the book, it will be your guide. Follow your path and never forget who you are, even when the journey get tough. The safety of the universe is in your hands. Good Luck, my students," Headmistress Ursa said before disappearing in a puff of smoke.
Coughing, everyone waved smoke from their face. Gemini ran a hand though her hair before mumbling, "This is going way to fast." Next to her, Aries chuckled as he move to pilfer though the stack of backpacks to find his own.
When everyone had their backpacks on their back, Professor Pegasus chanted an incantation and the mirror like object began to glow. First white, then changing to a blue galaxy like color.
Then without a warning, Professor Pegasus dove into the glass portal and disappeared completely, leaving us alone in the Maligne room.
"Should we go? Wait! Don't we have to bring Leo and Libra with us too?" asked Pisces. Everyone froze at the mention of Leo and Libra.
Just then, Capricorn jumped back screaming. "AHGHhHHHH!!!!" I looked at him confused, what was going on.
"Capricorn, what's wrong?" asked Sagittarius looking at the empty space where Capricorn was look at in fear.
"L-L-Leo," stuttered Capricorn. My eyes grew wide, he was seeing Leo?
Just then Capricorn's facial expression relaxed. He started nodding his head like he was listening and agreeing with words that we couldn't hear.
"Ok, let me explain what's going on to the rest of the group since it seems like I'm the only one who can see and hear you," Capricorn said. Then he turned to us.
"Guys, Leo's a spirit right now. Since his body is in a coma healing, his spirit is strong enough that it could move around on it's own will. Leo says that his body and Libra's has been shrunken using a spell and that they're safely with Professor Pegasus," Capricorn explained.
"Leo also says that Libra's too badly injured in her coma that her spirit is also unresponsive," added Capricorn.
Just then I felt a cold chill run down my spine, normally the cold didn't bother me, but this chill felt different, almost creepy.
"Leo! Stop messing with Aquarius!" shouted Capricorn. At that I jumped back and started freezing the air around me, causing Capricorn to laugh.
"Leo says you can't do anything to him, you can't touch him!" Capricorn explained. I glared at Capricorn. "Fine. Leo. You do that to me again and you will die once your spirit is back in your body," I threatened, "Now let's get going, we have a universe to save!"
And with that one by one, we all jumped into the glass portal.
The feeling was similar to a roller coaster, fast and dizzying. My surroundings were a blur until i could vaguely see a glowing light at the end of what felt like a tunnel.
As the light grew bigger and brighter, my body started feeling weird. I looked down at my arm and saw that they were turning into sparkling blue particles. I screamed before my vision turned a blinding white and I lost conscious of everything.
