IV. Koi

King Basil looked at his trusted team of Zodiacs.

"We are with you until the end, King Basil." Capricorn knelt to the ground with his head downward. As second in command he led the team while Aquarius was busy with the soldiers. He could feel his team knelt next to him. Taurus, Virgo, Leo, and Sagittarius.

Taurus informed quickly, her head still bowed, "The Air signs are preparing the troops while Aqua- Hydrochoos is getting ready for war, sir." 

King Basil nodded before ordering, "Rise." The five Zodiacs rose to his demand and he continued. "It seems that the other four of your team have betrayed me. I need you five to convince the Neró signs and the one Fotiá sign to join us. Without them then we will risk losing this war."

They nodded before bowing to him. "As you wish," Capricorn said.

Virgo

"What do you want, Virgo... Capricorn?" Leo narrowed her eyes at him, her black hair flowed in the breeze. A woodsy area stood in the background while a gray house trotted in the background.

"Where's Sag? Why do you have her device?"

Leo gave me a look and stated, "You called me. Besides she busy at the moment."

Capricorn and I watched as Aries fell from the gray house. Sagittarius quickly went to help her up only for Aries to walk away cussing at the horse. Taurus joined as and made a face. "Why is Aries trying to ride a horse?"

"That doesn't concern you. What do you all want? I don't have all day," Leo said with annoyance, as she turned away from the two.

The device beeped as another caller was added and Scorpio's face popped into view. "Hey, Leo!" she smiled slightly but grimaced once she saw us. "Oh it's you." She quickly tapped the screen ending her call.

"Rude," I mumbled. "Whatever, we need to get the team back together-"

Capricorn interrupted, "That way we can get back to Pyris. I know you all want to get back just as us-"

"Actually, Capricorn, we enjoy it here. Not that you would know because you and Aquarius think you just know us. Have you ever asked us what we thought for once?" Leo growled, her eyes darting between the two of us. Taurus had stepped out of the screen's view to escape Leo's wrath. "If you think us Fire Signs are going to join you in this, then you are wrong. Good luck with your mission." The call beeped informing us that it ended.

Taurus gave us a unsure look as she bite her lip. Her eyes darted between the two of us. "Guess we go to plan B?"

"Plan B it is."

Libra

Aquarius gave us a smile before quickly turning to her jacket pocket. She furrowed her eyebrows and looked at us. "What do I do?" She held a strange device that was buzzing in her hands.

I walked over and smiled, "Someone is Face Time you. Answer it quick!"

She slowly pressed the green button and Virgo and Capricorn face came into view. "Hey guys and gal!"

"I'm guessing you have something important to say, otherwise you wouldn't be talking to us," Aquarius said, she stared at the screen waiting.

Taurus popped into view and leaned over the guys. "A matter in fact we do. We have a plan-"

"When did we create a plan?" Virgo looked up at her confused.

Taurus cleared her throat. "We are looking to create a plan. We tried to get the others involved but they are being sore losers," Taurus said through the screen.

"When are they not," Gemini retorted. "Luckily you have us. We have an actual idea and with Virgo's technological skills we might have a chance."

"Do tell," Capricorn asked, he had his chin resting on his chin waiting.

Aquarius looked at us and nodded. "Meet as at the library next to school."

I glanced at my watch and added, "In thirty minutes."

The call ended and we set off to the library.

Pisces

"What do you think they wanted?" I asked, as Scorpio placed the device down. The men and women in fancy outfits started to clear the table that once held a abundance of food.

Scorpio shrugged and put the device back into her jacket.

"I think you should have listened to what they wanted, it could have been important," I told her in a worried tone. The thought of anything happening to the others left my stomach uneasy.

Cancer looked at me and shook his head. "I don't think so. Leo didn't look too thrilled, besides if it was Leo would have called us back."

Scorpio nodded in agreement. "It'll be fine Pie." She widen her eyes and smirked. "I knew what will get your mind of it." She quickly left the table and motioned us to follow. She made her way out into the backyard before stopping at a small pond. Colorful fish swam in the pond and came towards the edge as I knelt before them.

"Those are Koi fish," Cancer awed as he knelt next to me.

"I think they are beautiful," I smiled and touched the top of their heads.

We sat next to the pond for a while just naming each and every fish, until our worries were washed away.

We lingered for second more before Cancer and I turned to Scorpio. "It's best we get-"

"I need to speak with you all first," a voice interrupted from behind the gardens. He stood a few feet away wearing a simple t-shirt and jeans. He wore no shoes and glanced around.

My eyebrows furrowed at his appearance while Cancer slowly approached him. "Hey, are you okay?"

The boy glanced over his shoulder once before dropping to the ground. He motioned for us to do the same before saying, "You all are in danger. Are the others with you?"

"What do you mean?" I asked, as I scooted closer to hear his voice. His blue eyes focused on the three of us before glancing up. His blond hair was pulled over with a black benie.

"I know who you are, Ikhthyes of the two fish, Skorpios of the-"

"We get it. You know who we are. Just tell us why we are in danger?!" Scorpio asked harshly, her patience wearing thin.

He nodded, "The Greek monsters are after you 12. Luckily it does not seem they have sensed your presence yet."

The three of us stared at him in confusion before Cancer asked, "Who are you?"

"I'm the lost Zodiac, Ophiuchus."
