SCENE 1

PLANET STAR

UNKNOWN TIME

Ophiuchus walked into the portal. He was standing in the castle hall where all the creatures from every tribe around the planet had gathered to witness something. He stepped forward as the king was standing in the middle.

King Aruarus - I've won the war! And I'm victorious!

All the tribes yelled in happiness, encouraging words were heard.

Then one of the guards brought a man, tied up and bruised.

Ophiuchus (whispering) - Grandfather.

King Aruarus - From today onwards, the serpent tribe is an enemy of mine! Their decedent, the 13th Guardian the Serpent, will not be acknowledged as an official Guardian. And the tribe of the serpents will live on the other side of our home, isolated from the rest of us. That'll be your punishment, but you...

He looked at the tied-up man.

King Aruarus - You'll be imprisoned for your remaining existence in the dungeons of the Titanium Triangles.

The man smirked

Serpent Chief - No matter what you do, you'll never be your kind-hearted brother. Everyone here knows that. They're not here because they're happy that you've won! They're here because they fear you!

The king clutched his teeth as the guards took the man away. Ophiuchus closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened his eyes, he was in the land of the Merpeople. Everyone was whispering.

Siren - Now that the tyrant king was killed in the battle, we have to bow down to his disgusting heirs. What's worse is they are Guardians.

Mermaid - The queen didn't even want those children. Given how they were conceived, I don't blame her.

Ophiuchus (to himself) - Pisces and Cancer were conceived through...

He closed his eyes again and took a deep breath.

PLANET EARTH

MANSION

MORNING

Aquarius and Libra were having a meeting with everyone else.

Aquarius - Alright, this is what's going to happen.

Aries - I don't take orders from you.

Libra - You have to, and if you don't, I'll use my gifts on you, Aries.

Aries looked at Libra.

Aquarius - This isn't an order, Aries. This is a plead. Our father has been killed. The queen of the Virgos is sure Alesia will never be awakened, and we're running out of time. If we don't take Virgo with us and remove restriction rings, we're doomed. We don't even have an army, so our powers, our... True powers, are our only hope.

Aries kept quiet.

Taurus - Get off your high horse and do the right thing.

Sagittarius - If you don't do it, how do you expect to become a king?

Aries kept quiet.

Aquarius - Alesia is a college student and works part-time at a bar. I suggest two of you go and work with her, become friends, gain her trust, and try to get into this college thing.

Cancer - We can't just go and get in.

Capricorn - Libra and Cancer can control and manipulate minds and emotions. Just change their minds and convince them to let us be in that college thing.

Libra - That would work.

Scorpio - Alright, even if we get into that college and work, how will we awaken her if she doesn't believe in any of it?

Everyone kept quiet.

Leo - We have to make her see.

Aries - Make her see?

Pisces - Leo is right. We have to make her see everything: our home, the invasion, her own exile.

Cancer - None of us have that kind of gift.

Scorpio - Can't we just knock her out and take her to our own planet and...

Aquarius - Scorpio.

Scorpio kept quiet.

Libra - Let's first get close to her and earn her trust.

Aquarius - Who wants to work with her?

Leo and Pisces stood up.

Pisces - I'll do it.

Leo - And I'll keep an eye on this one.

Pisces looked at him, annoyed.

Aquarius - Alright, and you'll also get into that college thing and study with her.

Libra - We look forward to your grades.

Aries - Don't hold thy breath.

Aquarius and Libra giggled.

Scorpio - You two are disgusting.

Libra - What?

Aquarius - We two? Excuse me, there's no us two.

Libra - There isn't?

Aquarius looked at her, and everyone looked at Aquarius.

Aquarius - I mean, you know...

Libra - Didn't we kiss yesterday? I'm pretty sure that's what happens on this planet, for some strange reason. I also have memories of your naked...

Aquarius - Okay! I'm off to work!

Aquarius left in a hurry as everyone was laughing.

BAR

LATE EVENING

Alesia had her apron on, bringing orders to the tables in the bar full of people, with the music on and the happy atmosphere. Leon and Pete walked in, looking around as all the girls were staring at them.

Pisces - I feel violated.

Leo - If you don't behave, I'll violate you, and not in a good way.

Pisces - Fine, fine, no pranks.

Leo - Or teleporting or summoning.

Pisces - Agh, you sound like my grandfather.

Leo looked at him, annoyed. Alesia approached with a smile on her face.

Alesia - Hey, boys. I'm so glad you made it. Come on.

She took them to a table and gave them a few papers.

Alesia - These are the applications. You have to fill them up, and they'll decide if they'll hire you.

Leo - They?

Pisces - What if they decide not to?

Alesia - Then you go and find another job.

Leo - But I want to work here.

A girl approached as Leo looked at her.

Pisces - We both want to work here because Leon likes that... Her.

The girl looked at him, so did Leo.

Girl - You like me?

Leo - Not in a million years. Have you seen yourself?

The girl looked at him, hurt, and ran off.

Alesia - Well, we've got to work on your social skills.

Pisces - He's always like that around the girls he likes.

Leo - You have one second to shut your mouth.

Pisces kept quiet as Alesia giggled.

Alesia - You two really do get along, don't you?

Piscs and Leo looked at her, confused.

Alesia - No, it's just the way you guys are together. There's this weird trust with you guys. Like you don't like each other, but you'll always have each other's back.

Leo and Pisces kept quiet and looked at each other.

Alesia - Oh, and you can't have your rings on while you're working.

She took her ring out of her pocket.

Alesia - See, I took mine out too.

Leo - Can you take mine out?

Alesia looked at him, confused. Leon smiled and put his hand forward as Alesia tried to take out his ring.

Alesia - This doesn't come out... Weird.

Pisces looked at her, so did Leo, a bit worried.

Pisces - We were born with it.

Alesia - Ohhh, I see. This is one of those guy-jokes that girls don't get... Alrighty, I'll leave you to it fill in the application.

Alesia left.

Leo - She couldn't remove my ring.

Pisces - Because she hasn't been awakened, yet, dork. I cannot believe you just asked her to remove your ring. Who does that? What if she removed it? Do you realize what could've happened? You would've turned into this monstrous Lion. And that girl... You didn't have to be such a savage to her.

Leo - I like exotic females with long legs.

Pisces - I'll never understand you, lions. Long legs? Given your height... I would think you would've liked someone shorter.

Leo looked at him, annoyed. He shifted his gaze to the girl who was crying as Alesia was trying to console her.

Pisces - All done.

Leo got up to take the application to Alesia as a drunk guy bumped into him, and he fell to the ground. Leo looked at him blankly.

Guy - Hey, watch where you're going!

Leo didn't say anything as Pisces stood up.

Leo - Don't make a scene.

Pisces - You're the one who bumped into him. You should be apologizing!

The guy's friends gathered.

Leo - And he made a scene.

Pisces - Apologies for being fair and just.

The fight started. Leo didn't try to defend himself, but Pisces was breaking and throwing things on the guys. Everyone was screaming and running out of the bar. When the police arrived, both Leo and Pisces got arrested.

What Alesia had witnessed was shocking to her. She called Scorpio and let him know what had happened.

SCENE 4

PLANET STAR

UNKNOWN TIME

Ophiuchus was watching little Gemini playing with some other children as he used his clones. The rest of the children blamed him and started fighting, kicking him, then leaving him there. Gemini was crying.

Ophiuchus approached.

Ophiuchus - Are you alright?

Gemini - What do you want?

Ophiuchus saw a scar on Gemini's arm as his black blood was coming out.

Ophiuchus - Let me help you.

Gemini - Why? Why would you want to help someone like me? You're a serpent. You belong to the tribe of the traitors.

Ophiuchus realized how he looked to others. To other creatures, he looked like a serpent and not the other form. He grabbed Gemini's arm, chanting something as the scar disappeared. Gemini looked at him, amazed.

Ophiuchus - I'll always help you if you stay true to who you are.

Gemini - True to who I am?

Ophiuchus - I believe in you, Gemini.

Gemini was walking with the invaders on planet Moon as he looked at his arm and saw his scar disappear.

Gemini (to himself) - I'll always stay true to who I am...

He looked back to where his planet was.
