Cliff Hanger Warning
Cancer and Sagittarius gasped in horror when they realized Pisces was dead. Actually, no he's not, it's just the author messing with you again. Bad author! *Narrator kicks author away from the story* As I was saying...
Cancer pointed to a black trail on the floor. "There's a trail of black blood."
"Maybe the others are nearby!" cheered Pisces.
"GAH! Sorry, you scared me. You passed out for a bit," said Cancer.
"I did? Oh yeah, Sagittarius made us go through walls and it hurt a lot. Guess who's never doing that again?"
Sagittarius smirked. "I'd guess Pisces but that would be too obvious."
Cancer facepalmed. "He can't hear you."
Pisces squinted his eyes at thin air. "What's Sagittarius saying now?"
"He's over here." Then Cancer turned Pisces' head until he was staring at Sagittarius.
"WoooOoooOoooOooooooOooOoo!"
"Ow!" Pisces grabbed his head. "My head hurts! And I just heard a very faint whisper!"
"Did you make out any of the words?" asked Cancer.
Pisces shook his head. "Not at all."
"Aww I can't communicate with him?" Sagittarius smirked. "Oh well, now I can whisper sweet things in your ear without him hearing."
"You're still cheesy though."
"I'm not cheesy!"
"Saggi, you're sweet but you are pretty cheesy."
"Aww, no, the things I say are cute and I take a long time to think of them."
"I appreciate that a lot, but just accept that you're cheesy."
"Is Sagittarius flirting with you again?" asked Pisces.
"See, even Pisces knows your flirting is cheesy."
"Is not!"
"Pisces, on a scale of one to ten, how cheesy is Saggi?"
"Over nine thousand."
"Pffffffffft!"
"Yeah but I'm a ten on an awesome scale!"
Cancer smirked. "And on a PH scale."
Sagittarius was confused. "Why?"
"Because you're basic!" tormented Cancer.
Sagittarius sighed. "You know I'm not good at biology."
"Do you mean chemistry?"
"Whatever."
"How did your conversation go from Sag's cheesy flirting to chemistry?" asked Pisces.
Cancer shrugged. "It just did."
"Remember when everything was normal and we could talk to each other without being ghosts and shit?" asked Sagittarius.
"You mean before the maze?" asked Cancer.
"Yeah! I'd fly you all out through the walls of the maze, but it's a maze so I don't know where the walls between the inside and the outside of the building are. Also I don't know if you'll die or not if I use my powers on you too much."
"I'm just going to have to learn how to talk to ghosts. I'll become a... necromancer!" announced Pisces.
"Do you know how?" asked Cancer.
Pisces shrugged. "Maybe there's step-by-step instructions on how to talk to the dead on Wikipedia."

"I have a weird feeling," announced Leo who was walking behind the other two.
"Maybe it's his time of the month," whispered Aquarius.
Gemini laughed. "Pfffffffft!"
"Aquarius are you talking shit over there?"
"NOPE!"
"He's just telling jokes," said Gemini. Then Gemini screamed. Aquarius gasped.
"What?" asked Leo. Aries' bleeding body was leaning against the wall with cuts and stabs all over her body.
"Don't let him see this!" ordered Aquarius.
"Leo, look behind you!" screamed Gemini.
"Huh?" Leo turned around.
"I just saw something. Keep watching our backs!"
"How do we make it go away?" asked Aquarius.
"I don't know. Maybe it will go away on it's own," whispered Gemini.
"Guys what's going on? There's nothing back here." Leo turned around.
"SURPRISE ATTACK!" Gemini jumped on Leo's back and covered his eyes with her hands.
"Gemini? What's going on?" Leo tried to shake Gemini off. Then the body disappeared.
"There's nothing. See?" asked Aquarius. Gemini jumped off of Leo's back. Leo looked around, but didn't see anything.
"What were you two hiding from me?"
"Nothing," replied Gemini.
"Why are you being paranoid?" asked Aquarius.
"I'm not paranoid. I know something's up."
"What's this room?" Then Aquarius opened a door and walked into a library. He gasped and backed up. Gemini caught up to Aquarius to see what was going on. The blood drained from her face. Virgo was sitting at a table in the library, without a collar on.
"He doesn't have a collar," whispered Aquarius.
"Aqua no! It's a trap or something!" Gemini tried to pull Aquarius back but he walked forward anyway.
"Aqua! I've missed you so much! I found a way to become alive again!" Then Virgo ran to Aquarius and gave him a hug.
"I don't think that's Virgo," said Leo.
Gemini balled her fists. "I'm sure it's a trick!"
Virgo smiled. Then his stomach suddenly sliced open and he fell in Aquarius' arms.
Aquarius screamed as the blood continued pouring out. "VIRGO!"
Gemini covered her eyes. "Oh my god. This is beyond cruel."
After Virgo died in Aquarius's arms, he disappeared.
"That's what happened with him and Scorpio," said Leo.
"He's going to need us to comfort him. Come on!"
***
Aries was walking in the hallway when she saw an open door. She walked inside. Aquarius was completely out of it, he stared at a wall while Gemini and Leo fought off a demon with long horns. Then Gemini sliced off its head with Aquarius' sword. Leo released a sigh of relief and sat down. Gemini sat beside him. They were both splattered in blood, but they were going to live.
"Oh, you finally decided to join us!" Aries looked up to see Virgo, sitting on a chandelier. Then Virgo jumped down and landed without making a sound.
"Did I miss anything?"
"Hmm. Gemini and Aquarius saw a ghost replica of your body after you died. Then we watched what happened while I died in Aquarius' arms. He's been like that ever since." Virgo gestured to Aquarius, who still didn't do anything but blink.
"They're so injured. I wish I could help protect them."
"I know. I want to help too but we're ghosts."
"I know, but... I wish I hadn't have died... I should be there for them." Aries sat down and started crying. "And they can't even see me. They'll never know I was here."
"I think I should comfort you because it's what Cappy and Scorpy would have wanted. There, there," said Virgo as he awkwardly patted Aries on the back.
"It just occurred to me that I'm best friends with your girlfriend, and I'm also good friends with one of your best friends, yet we never talk to each other," said Aries between sobs.
"You're not just good friends with Cappy. You're also her wifey. Or did that not work out?"
Aries chuckled. "No, she's still my wifey."
"ARIES! Oh, hi Virgo!" Sagittarius ran forward and hugged Aries.
"Hi Sag."
"Oh no, did Virgo make you cry? Virgo you big meanie!" joked Sagittarius while elbowing Virgo.
Virgo got up. "She's upset that Leo and Gem are hurt and she can't protect them, and that they can't see her. Comfort her while I check on Aqua." Then Virgo sat down beside Aquarius.
"Cheer up! They wouldn't want you to be sad." Sagittarius wiped Aries' tears away.
"I'm glad you're here. Virgo is actually nice to talk to when you need someone, but I need a best friend to talk to right now."
Sagittarius sat down beside Aries. "You're just lonely. Stop wandering off on your own. You'll be less lonely if you stick with a group."
Aries sighed and leaned on his shoulder. "I know. But I just want to talk to Leo one last time. It kills me that we might be stuck as ghosts forever and I'll never get to talk to him again."
"I know the feeling. I can talk to Cancer, but I can't hold her or kiss her. This sucks."
"GEMINI! LEO! AQUA!" Pisces ran in the room and immediately started healing Gemini.
"WE FOUND THEM?" asked Cancer who ran in the room.
Virgo rolled his eyes. "Yay. More people to deal with."
"Oh no. Is everything alright?" asked Cancer who sat down beside Aries.
"She's sad. I'm comforting her. We both hate being ghosts," explained Sagittarius.
Aries smiled. "At least now Gemini and Leo have a healer traveling with them. I don't know if they can fix Aqua, he looks mentally scarred."
"Hey Aqua. I'm getting worried about you. You haven't looked alright in a long time." Virgo leaned on Aquarius. "I'm sorry about this, but I need to get you to snap out of it."
Aquarius didn't respond.
"SnAP OuT oF It!" The migraine throbbed in Aquarius' head. He clenched his teeth, but didn't move. "I kNow yoU CAn hEar mE! GeT up aNd HelP yoUr FrieNds!"
Aquarius flinched whenever he heard Virgo's voice, but he didn't move.
"Aqua get up you big old dummy! If you stare at walls all day you'll get killed. Snap out of it, dammit!" Virgo tried to punch Aquarius but his fist went through Aquarius. "If you die I won't ever see you again. The only reason I don't mind being a ghost is so I can watch over you. Get up and help your friends. Gem and Leo need you. AQUA GET UP! GeT Up!"
Aquarius got up and picked up the mace.
"WhAt aRe yoU doInG? PuT tHat DowN! AQuA No!"
Aries, Cancer and Sagittarius turned to look at Virgo.
"Pisces! Stop him!" screamed Cancer. Pisces (who was the closest to Aquarius), tried to stop Aquarius before he did something stupid. Aquarius swung the mace at himself and screamed in pain, but he didn't bleed. Aquarius kept trying, but he couldn't kill himself.
"What's going on?" asked Pisces.
Then the speakers turned on. Ophiuchus didn't sound happy. "That's what you get for messing with the rules. I bet you wish you didn't mess things up for yourself."
"Wait. What is she talking about?" asked Gemini. Leo shrugged.
"Aquarius made a new rule where he couldn't be killed, when he snuck into a dead girl's bedroom."
"How did he add a new rule to the game?" asked Leo.
"As if I'm telling you. Looks like you're going to endure being alive forever, even when all your friends are dead."
Aquarius looked at a book on the table. Then he threw it. Aquarius stared throwing a tantrum and he threw things around.
***
The dead zodiacs were in a room with white walls, a white floor and a white ceiling.
Libra sighed. "Were trapped in this boring room and we can't even redecorate it with glitter. What a shame."
"No one died in a while. There's a boss fight coming up so I'm worried." Taurus played with the ends of her hair.
Capricorn was lying down. "Can I just sleep for this rest of my life? Wake me up when the simulation ends."
Then one of the walls displayed a video of the other zodiacs. Aquarius was throwing a tantrum while Virgo tried to comfort him. Aries was hugging Leo even though he didn't know she was there, Cancer was talking to Sagittarius while Gemini and Pisces were talking and occasionally surprising the other with a kiss.
"Guys! Look!" Scorpio pointed at the screen.
"Is that live?" asked Taurus.
Libra shrugged. "Either it's live or it happened sometimes earlier."
"IT'S VIRGO, ARIES AND SAGITTARIUS! They're ghosts!" screamed Capricorn.
"Didn't I say that they weren't alive?" asked Libra.
"Even now that I'm dead, I can't be with Virgo. This isn't fair!"
"Why is Aquarius freaking out while Virgo tries to comfort him?" asked Libra.
"How should we know?" asked Taurus.
"At least they're all together and we're together!" said Capricorn.
Scorpio crossed her arms. "Three out of six couples are going to be able to live happily with each other. Meanwhile I'll never see the one I love again!"
Taurus mimicked Scorpio's angry expression and crossed her arms. "Me either!"
"Well, Aqua might die and be able to spend his life with you," said Capricorn while looking at Taurus. "And I wouldn't say we'll live happily together forever."
"But I don't want him to die! But I want to see him again. But I don't want him to die!"
Scorpio sighed. "I wonder how they became ghosts. I want to be a ghost."
Libra rolled his eyes. "Leave it to them to find a way to become ghosts."
"Time for your boss fight. I'll need all of you to help me~" purred Ophiuchus. Who appeared in dreamland. Then everyone woke up.
