Power Swap
It was dark outside. Sagittarius and Leo carefully opened the window in Hydra's house and stepped down.
"She has a lot of fancy things," whispered Leo.
"Shhhh!" shushed Sagittarius. Then they walked carefully to the kitchen.
"What are we looking for again?" asked Leo.
"I don't know, but she has to have something cool," whispered Sagittarius. Then Leo opened a cupboard full of weird bottles and ingredients.
"Found it!" whispered Leo. Sagittarius walked over.
"Hmm the bottle labeled "never give this to the zodiacs ever" looks interesting," said Sagittarius. Then they heard footsteps. "Take it and run!" Then Leo grabbed the bottle and they quickly and quietly ran back to the open window.
"Who's there?" demanded Hydra. Leo and Sagittarius jumped out of the window, got in the car and drove away.
***
The next morning Leo and Sagittarius were in the kitchen trying to figure out what that bottle was.
"The label doesn't tell us anything but if it was dangerous then it wouldn't be in her food cupboard right?" asked Sagittarius.
"Right. I wonder what it will do. It has to be awesome if Hydra doesn't want us to have it. Like it could give us lots of power or something," said Leo.
Sagittarius grinned. "Then let's let everyone try some."
***
The other zodiacs were in the living room.
"Where's Leo and Sag?" asked Libra.
"What are those idiots up to now?" asked Capricorn.
"Probably something stupid," replied Gemini.
"They snuck out last night," said Scorpio.
"How the hell do you know that?" asked Aquarius.
"Some secrets shall never be revealed, but I guess I should tell you that it involves cameras that are installed in the living room," replied Scorpio.
"But... that's where I practice my dancing," said Virgo.
"Yes, I'm scarred for life now," said Scorpio.
"Hey Scorp, teach me how to install those cameras later," said Aries.
"I smell cupcakes," sand Taurus.
"I don't trust Leo and Saggi to bake cupcakes though," said Cancer.
"Guys! We have dessert for everyone!" announced Leo. Then him and Sagittarius came out of the kitchen holding plates full of cupcakes.
"One of the earth signs should try one first because you guys are immune to poison aren't you?" asked Pisces.
"They're NOT poisoned, why would you think that?" asked Sagittarius.
"I wonder why," muttered Capricorn. Then everyone ate a cupcake, including Leo and Sagittarius.
"What... the hell... did you idiots... put in those cupcakes?" asked Libra.
"I feel funny," said Pisces.
Aries glared at Leo. "Leo I swear what ever you did to those cupcakes-"
"I don't know what we did. We found a random ingredient and decided to try it out," said Leo. Everyone went silent.
"You fed us a random ingredient not knowing if it would poison us?" asked Capricorn in a voice so calm it was terrifying.
Sagittarius gulped. "Uh... yes?"
"What were you thinking?!? You could of killed us-" then Aquarius trapped Capricorn in an air bubble that blocked out everything that she was saying.
"Uh... guys? Why is Capricorn glowing?" asked Taurus.
"You're glowing too," said Gemini.
"I think we're all glowing!" said Scorpio.
"I bet I'm glowing brighter then Aquarius and Libby," said Virgo.
"That might not be such a good thing," said Pisces. Then everyone stopped glowing. All of the sudden the bubble around Capricorn popped.
"How did that happen?" asked Aquarius.
"Someone pass me that ingredient that you guys used," ordered Capricorn. Sagittarius ran in the kitchen and brought the bottle to Capricorn. Then she peeled the first label off the bottle and read the real label. "It looks like our elemental powers have been switched temporarily."
"Everyone go outside so we don't destroy the house!" ordered Cancer. Then everyone went into the backyard. The zodiacs sat down on the grass.
"What powers do I have?" asked Leo.
"Let's ask the more important questions, like WHO HAS THE FIRE POWERS?" asked Taurus. Then everyone was surrounded by a ring of fire.
"I think we're about to find out," said Cancer.
"I officially declare myself the temporary leader and if any of you suckers have a problem with it, you can talk to my FLAMES," announced Scorpio who was way too excited to have fire powers.
"Pfft your fire powers can't even affect me," said Sagittarius. Then he touched the ring of fire swirling around him and burnt his hand.
"What? We're not immune to fire anymore?" asked Aries. Then she touched the swirling fire like Sagittarius did and all of the sudden it turned to steam. Aries tried to use her fire powers but instead she made water swirl around her.
"I'm flying! THIS IS SO EXCITING!" shouted Pisces who was flying around in the air. Then he crashed into a tree. Pisces got up and rubbed his head. "Hey that tree wasn't there a minute ago!"
Aquarius chuckled. "Look where you're going next time Pisces."
"Hey! Earth powers aren't meant to hurt people!" protested Taurus.
"But that's what you guys use them for half of the time," muttered Gemini.
"Okay, so a few of us already figured out our powers," said Libra.
"Lets see what powers I have," said Virgo. Then he threw a fire ball at Libra but Libra made a water shield around himself.
"This is pretty cool," said Cancer who made a wall of flowers grow around her.
"Guys! Why can't I use any powers? I keep trying to use my powers like I used my fire but nothing is happening!" said Sagittarius.
"Sagittarius, look around you," said Aquarius. Sagittarius looked around to see thorn plants surrounding him.
"YES!" screamed Gemini. Everyone turned to see her juggling a bunch of fire balls.
"Now we need to see what powers Taurus and Leo have," said Capricorn.
"I'm scared to see what power Leo has," said Aries. Then someone grabbed her waist and suddenly Aries was being lifted into the air.
"Careful, I might drop you," whispered Leo in her ear.
"How to I get out of here?" asked Taurus who was trapped in a water bubble.
"Great. Now we know who has what powers. What will we do with them?" asked Scorpio.
"I know! Let's play capture the flag," suggested Gemini.
***
The zodiacs all arrived at the park. They had six flags. They were playing where if you steal someone's flag you get a point and it keeps going on until all six flags are found or one team gets three flags.
"Alright, so we'll divide into teams of two I guess," said Pisces.
"Where will we put the flags when we steal them?" asked Cancer.
"I guess we can put the flags on the fountain," said Virgo. Then everyone partnered up and ran away to hide their flags. Pisces and Cancer took the blue flag, Capricorn and Aries took the red flag, Leo and Sagittarius took the orange flag and Taurus and Gemini took the green flag.
"Libra you go with Scorpio so it won't be awkward," said Aquarius.
"How will it be not awkward if I team with her?" asked Libra.
"Because you have a girlfriend," said Virgo.
"Let's let you three of you play rock, paper, scissors. The loser has to team with me," said Scorpio. Then Aquarius, Libra and Virgo played rock, paper, scissors. Libra and Virgo picked rock while Aquarius picked scissors. Libra and Virgo ran off with the yellow flag while Aquarius and Scorpio took the purple flag.
***
Cancer and Pisces were walking around in the forest behind the park.
"Where should we hide out flag?" asked Cancer.
"Hmm... I would suggest in a pond but neither of us can breathe underwater anymore," said Pisces.
"I have an idea," said Cancer. Then she made a huge tree covered in thorns grown out of the ground. She passed the flag to Pisces. Pisces flew to the top of the tree and hid the flag. Then Cancer made a bunch of bushes and roots grow around them.
"I'd like to see the others get our flag now," said Cancer.
"Should we guard our flag or hunt other flags?" asked Pisces.
"You go hunt the flags since you can fly while I guard, alright?" asked Cancer.
"Yeah, sure," said Pisces. Then he started flying.
***
Capricorn and Aries were looking for a good spot to put their flag.
"Hey, there's a pond over there!" said Aries.
"If we hide it there Taurus and Libra will be the only other people that are able to get it," said Capricorn.
"That's good for us," said Aries. Then Aries dived in the pond and swam down as far as she could and hid the flag. Then Aries swam back to the surface. Capricorn used her air powers to try and dry Aries since she was soaked in water but all the air made Aries' hair super frizzy.
"Oops," said Capricorn who stifled a laugh.
Aries sighed and tied her hair up using a hair tie that she kept around her wrist. "I appreciate the thought."
"Since our flag is very well hidden let's go hunt other people's flags," suggested Capricorn. "I'll fly in the air while you search on the ground."
"Alright," replied Aries.
***
Leo and Sagittarius were hiding in the flower garden.
"What if I just fly in the air with our flag?" asked Leo.
"The others will see you flying around and they'll knock you out of the sky," replied Sagittarius.
"Hold still," said Leo.
"What are you doing?" asked Sagittarius. Then Leo put the flag down the back of Sagittarius' shirt.
"There. No one is going to try to take your shirt off to get the flag... except maybe Cancer-" all of the sudden Leo was buried under a pile of dirt. Then a bunch of wind swept the dirt away.
"Now I'm all dirty! You've ruined my fabulousness!" said Leo.
"Yeah, I'm okay with that," said Sagittarius.
***
Taurus and Gemini were looking around in the forest.
"Lets just put it down and I'll surround the flag in a fire shield," suggested Gemini.
"But then Scorpio and Virgo will be able to get it because the fire won't affect while Aries and Libra will be able to put the fire out," explained Taurus.
"I suppose we could hide it in the bushes," suggested Gemini.
"Alright," said Taurus. Then she hid the flag in a bunch of bushes.
"There, now lets go find the others," cheered Gemini.
"I hear arguing, someone must be nearby," said Taurus. Then Taurus and Gemini hid in the bushes next to their flag.
***
Virgo and Libra were not too far from Taurus and Gemini.
"No Virgo, you can't use your powers to burn anyone that comes nearby," said Libra.
"Why not?" asked Virgo.
"Because burns hurt!" said Libra.
"That's what they get for taking out flag," said Virgo.
"I'm not even that competitive," said Libra.
"Well I'll have to teach you my competitive ways," sand Virgo.
"Here, lets hide the flag... wait I heard something. There's someone nearby," said Libra.
"Run back and hide it near the water fountain, while I look around to see who's nearby," whispered Virgo.
"Alright," whispered Libra before running away with the flag.
***
Aquarius was following behind Scorpio since she made it clear she was the boss of him.
"Hey Scorpy?" asked Aquarius.
"Yes?" asked Scorpio.
"Lets hide then flag in the ground," suggested Aquarius.
"Alright," agreed Scorpio. Then Aquarius made a big hole in the ground that was very deep and he dropped the flag down.
"Don't cover up the hole, it's not fair if they don't even have a chance at finding it," said Scorpio.
"I have a better idea," said Aquarius. Then he made a bunch of twigs and dirt cover the top of the hole which created a pitfall.
"Good idea, now lets go find other flags," said Scorpio.
***
Cancer was wandering around when Pisces flew down and landed beside her.
"Find anything?" asked Cancer.
"Not yet, replied Pisces.
"Ow," hissed someone. Pisces and Cancer turned around.
"It came from back there, that's where our flag is!" said Pisces.
"Quick lets go back," said Cancer. Then Cancer jumped on Pisces' back and Pisces flew back to the tree that hid their flag. When they landed on the ground Cancer and Pisces saw two monkeys... I mean Libra and Virgo trying to climb the tree.
"How's the weather up there?" asked Cancer. Virgo and Libra looked down.
"Hi Pisces and Cancer," said Virgo.
"We're about to steal your flag now, alright?" asked Libra.
"Not if I can help it," said Pisces. Then an air current pushed Libra and Virgo out of the tree.
"I got it before Pisces used his air powers," said Libra who held up a blue flag. Then a vine came out of no where and snatched the flag away from Libra. Virgo shot a fire ball at the vine and took the flag. Then Libra and Virgo ran while Pisces and Cancer chased them.
***
Scorpio and Aquarius were looking around when they heard screaming.
"What's that noise?" asked Aquarius.
"Someone stole a flag probably. Let's go take a look," replied Scorpio. Then Scorpio and Aquarius ran towards the source of the noise. That's when they saw Pisces, Cancer, Libra and Virgo using their powers to steal the flag back and forth.
"Want to join in the fun?" asked Scorpio.
"Alright," said Aquarius. Then the ground opened up beneath the other four zodiacs.
"What the heck?" asked Pisces. Then a vine grew downwards and took the flag from Cancer.
"We'll be taking that," said Scorpio as she looked down at the zodiacs trapped in a hole.
"Let us back up," demanded Virgo. Then Aquarius took out his phone.
"Let's take a selfie," said Aquarius. Then Aquarius and Scorpio took a bunch of selfies with Cancer, Pisces, Libra and Virgo in the background. Then Pisces remembered he could fly and he flew himself and Cancer out of the hole.
"Shit! RUN!" screamed Scorpio. Then her and Aquarius ran.
"I have a solution," said Libra. Then the hole started filling up with water so Libra and Virgo swam to the top of the hole and caught up with the others.
***
Gemini and Taurus were walking around the water fountain.
"Shouldn't we search for the other flags?" asked Gemini.
"We are, I saw Libra come down here earlier," replied Taurus.
"I wonder where he hid his flag," said Gemini.
"AHA!" said Taurus. Then she climbed a tree and picked the flag out.
"Yes! We have a flag!" cheered Gemini.
"We only need two more," said Taurus.
"Do you hear that?" asked Gemini.
"GIVE ME BACK THAT FLAG YOU AIR HEADED MONKEY!"
"Yeah, they're coming," said Taurus. Taurus handed Gemini a pair of sunglasses and they sat back and watched as the other six zodiacs came running out of the forest. Aquarius made roots pop out of the ground and Libra tripped. Cancer caught the flag and she ran until she was surrounded by a circle of fire. Scorpio snatched the flag and ran until she got trapped in a water bubble. Libra took the flag back but a bunch of wind blew it into Pisces' hands. Then Virgo tackled Pisces but Aquarius took the flag. This continued until the six of them were almost at the fountain, then they all slipped on a puddle of water and fell down. Before they knew it Taurus took the flag and placed it on the water fountain. Taurus and Gemini high fived while the others glared at them.
***
Aries and Capricorn decided to look together. They were walking when they heard whispering above them. Aries and Capricorn looked up to see Leo and Sagittarius in a tree.
"We've been spotted!" said Sagittarius.
"Hey Aries, auditioning to be the lion king any time soon?" asked Leo.
"Shut up, my hair is still more fabulous then yours," replied Aries.
"Go away or we'll fight you guys," threatened Leo.
"We're not afraid," said Capricorn.
"Hey Leo, watch this," said Aries. Then she made a huge water bubble in the shape of a heart and it floated up towards Leo.
"Aww Aries you're so sweet, this heart bubble is-" then Leo got sucked into the heart shaped bubble. Capricorn made the wind blow the bubble with Leo inside towards the ground.
"We've captured Leo. Give us your flag and you'll get him back," said Capricorn.
"Meh," said Sagittarius. Then a branch flew forward and tried to pop the bubble but there was an air shield around Leo.
"DON'T GIVE THEM THE FLAG! IT ISN'T WORTH IT!" screamed Leo.
"I won't," said Sagittarius.
"Then we'll bring Leo along with us," said Aries. Then the heart shaped bubble reshaped into a circular bubble. Capricorn and Aries were pushing Leo in his bubble when the three of them fell into a pitfall. The impact of the fall burst the bubble around Leo.
"Ow! Who made this trap?" demanded Aries.
"Was it you Sag?" asked Leo.
"No it was Aquarius," said Capricorn.
"How do you know?" asked Aries and Leo at the same time.
"Because their flag is down here," said Capricorn. Then a bunch of vines wrapped around Leo and pulled him out of the hole. Capricorn picked Aries up and flew out of the hole.
"We'll take that," said Sagittarius who took Aquarius and Scorpio's flag. Then Sagittarius and Leo's flag fell out of Sagittarius' shirt. Aries snatched Leo and Sagittarius' flag and they kept trying to steal the other person's flag.
"HEY GUYS, YOU CAN STOP NOW THE GAME IS OVER!" shouted Gemini. Aries, Capricorn, Leo and Sagittarius ran over to the water fountain to see what was going on when they saw Taurus and Gemini holding three flags while Libra and Virgo held the other one. Everyone else decided to go home while Taurus and Gemini declared that everyone has to bake them cookies since they won.
