EPISODE 5: 1000 LABORS

SCENE 1

UNKNOWN PLACE

UNKNOWN TIME

Capricorn and Pisces were in the middle of nowhere, floating in the air, with limitless stars around and the darkness. Pisces was holding Capricorn in his arms as they were looking around.

Capricorn - Where are we?

Pisces - I don't know.

Capricorn looked at Pisces, worried.

Pisces - You didn't tell me the specific destination, so I'm guessing this is in the middle of the universe, and it's safe to say we're lost.

Capricorn - You think this is time for jokes?

Pisces - Alright, calm down. All I need is a destination. Isn't Gemini telling you where he is?

Capricorn - No, I hear him, but he's in pain... I can't understand where he is.

Pisces - Well, no wonder. He deserves that pain.

Capricorn - He didn't betray us.

Pisces - Capri, you believe in him because you love him. I don't love him. Therefore, I don't believe in him. I'm betting he even tried to take you with him...

Capricorn kept quiet, remembering the temptation of the shadow Gemini.

Pisces - Oh, for crying out loud.

Capricorn - He was trying to tempt me. I chose you.

Pisces looked at her.

Capricorn - I mean the Guardians, not just you.

Pisces kept quiet, looking ahead.

Pisces - Has he made a vow to you?

Capricorn - No, he didn't even tell me he had affections for me until he tried to eliminate me.

Pisces - Let me ask you this. If there were another who loved you, would you give him a chance?

Capricorn looked at Pisces.

Pisces - I'm not asking for me.

Capricorn smiled.

Capricorn - For now, Gemini is all I think about.

Pisces kept quiet.

SCENE 2

PLANET MOON

MARS'S CHAMBERS

UNKNOWN TIME

Mars was looking at himself in a shiny object, observing his wounds and his reflection as he tried to remember everything that had happened to him up to that point.

Mars - I was normal when we discovered the planet Star.

Then he remembered the battles he fought against the tribes.

Mars - No, I was normal even during those battles and after we came home.

He remembered talking to Gemini as he looked at his reflection.

Mars - What were his powers? He said, making clones. Was he lying?

Then Mars remembered the battle he fought against Gemini when he made the fake invasion.

Mars - He could have killed me. But he didn't. He told his viper I had something he needed.

Mars looked at his hands.

Mars - He stole my immortality which means...

Echoes - I'm everywhere.

Mars looked around, terrified, with sweat covering his face.

SCENE 3

PLANET EARTH

ZOO

DAYTIME

As Alesia, Aries, and Sagittarius were looking for Leo, panicked and worried, Leo was petting a lion cub inside a cage. All the people were looking at the scene, terrified.

Sagittarius - And there he is.

They were out of breath.

Alesia - Oh my lord, what is he doing?

Aries - He's with the lions. Why am I not surprised?

Alesia - The lioness is approaching.

The people were looking at the scene in awe.

Alesia - Get him out of there.

Sagittarius - Oh, I can't look.

Sagittarius closed his eyes as Alesia hit his arm.

The lioness slowly approached Leo. Leo was holding the cub in his arms, the zoo employees panicking as the police came and pushed through the people, having an ambulance ready in the background.

Aries - See, this is what happens when you take us out.

Alesia looked at him, annoyed.

The lioness approached Leo. Leo looked at it, and the lioness seemed to bow to him, laying down, putting its head on Leo's lap. The cub was licking Leo.

Alesia - What in the world is happening?

Aries - He's the Guardian of Leo. What did you expect? He's his tribe's most feared and perfect warrior.

Alesia - I expected him to be shred in pieces. Why didn't you tell me that sooner? Do you know how frightened I was?

Sagittarius - I'm actually shocked too.

Alesia looked at smiling Leo, who was playing with the cub, and smiled.

Aries - The cub looks like his sister.

Alesia looked at Aries.

Aries - He was very close with her. He misses her a lot.

Alesia watched as part of her hair turned to silver.

SCENE 4

TRIANGLE

UNKNOWN TIME

AUTUMN REALM

The Serpent prince was sitting at the corner of the Triangle, talking to himself as Sagitta and Pyxis were helping Messa...

Ophiuchus - I need to free them.

Voice - Then why don't you? Instead of sitting around and crying about it.

Ophiuchus looked around.

Ophiuchus - Who said that?

Voice - You don't need to know.

Ophiuchus - How am I supposed to free them?

Voice - By doing 1,000 labors.

Ophiuchus - That will take me forever. I have to find the constellations.

The Voice chuckled.

Voice - You don't need the constellations.

Ophiuchus looked confused.

Voice - You're walking right into the trap set for you.

Ophiuchus - What?

Voice - The constellations are under a spell. They're not your friends. They wish to be freed, and once they are, they'll turn their back on you and the Guardians.

Ophiuchus - I don't believe you. You're trying to play mind games with me. Oracle warned me about this.

Voice - Oracle? You think the Oracle is on your side?

Ophiuchus - Yes, that imposter Foxy was-

Voice - Was one of her nine tails.

Ophiuchus froze.

Voice - You need to send Sagitta and Pyxis back and free Messa. Sagitta and Pyxis are spies.

Ophiuchus - Tell me who you are.

Voice - I'm the Phoenix... Your true ally.

Ophiuchus - The dagger of Phoenix...

Ophiuchus looked at the glowing dagger.

Dagger - You need to get out of here, or your vision will come true.

Ophiuchus - Which vision?

Dagger - The tribes will be slaughtered. If you don't change this vision, you'll be forced to hand me over to the Oracle.

Ophiuchus looked at Pyxis and Sagitta.

SCENE 5

UNKNOWN TIME

UNKNOWN PLACE

Capricorn and Pisces were sitting in an unknown place, the wind blowing and the red sand getting in their eyes.

Capricorn closed her eyes, trying to focus on Gemini's voice. Pisces summoned himself food and started to eat. Capricorn opened her eyes and looked at Pisces.

Capricorn - Do you mind? I'm trying to focus here.

Pisces - I'm hungry.

Capricorn - I can't get through.

Pisces - Well, if I hurt you, he might come running.

Capricorn looked at him, annoyed.

Pisces - Oh, come on. I was kidding. No sense of humor?

Capricorn - You know, Pisces, if you keep existing like this, no one is ever going to take you seriously.

Pisces looked at her.

Pisces - My humor is the defense I put up for anyone who tries to break into my world. Don't be fast to judge me, Capricorn. There's more to me than meets the eye.

He walked away as Capricorn kept quiet and closed her eyes.

Pisces kept looking at her.

Pisces - Shake it off. It's never to be.

He walked away, looking at the unknown. Capricorn approached.

Capricorn - Pisces.

Pisces looked at her.

Pisces - Did you find him?

Capricorn - I apologize. I didn't mean to make you feel bad. You just always joke around and...

Pisces - I've just never found someone whom I want to show my real world. No offense.

Capricorn - And you never will if you keep being like this. Maybe I want to know your world.

Pisces - No, you don't. You want to know Gemini's world.

Capricorn kept quiet.

Capricorn - "Shake it off, it's never to be."

Pisces looked at her, embarrassed.

Capricorn - You forgot I have super hearing.

Pisces - Oh...

Capricorn smiled.

Capricorn - Why are you so sure about that?

Pisces looked at her, frozen. Capricorn smiled and held his hand.

Capricorn - Let's go.
