The zodiacs were standing at the entrance of the mall.

"He won't answer his phone!" Taurus was about to throw her phone in frustration but she decided against it.

"Uhhhhhhhhh," groaned Gemini and Libra who were both sitting on the ground.

"Hey, what's up with them?" asked Sagittarius.

"I have a bad feeling. A really bad feeling!" said Gemini.

"Ughhh I feel something. It's like I can feel that someone is in trouble," wheezed Libra.

"So Aquarius is missing and the other two signs from his element are feeling dread. Interesting," said Capricorn.

"What? But... how is that possible?" asked Cancer.

"I don't know," replied Capricorn.

"We can't stay here all day though," said Aries.

"We can't just leave without him!" protested Virgo.

"He knows how to call a taxi so I suppose he can find a way home on his own," said Scorpio.

"There he is!" said Leo. Then Aquarius walked over to the group. His hood was up and he was wearing sunglasses.

"Hi guys. I got lost but I'm here now!" said Aquarius. Pisces squinted at "Aquarius" in suspicion.

"Well, we couldn't find Hydra so let's go report back to Phoenix," said Aries.

"You guys go ahead. I have to whisper a secret to Cancer and Gemini!" said Pisces. Then everyone else walked over to their cars.

"What is it Pisces?" asked Cancer.

"I have a bad feeling about Aquarius," said Pisces.

"What do you mean?" asked Gemini who stood up.

"He seems a bit... odd. With Hydra's disappearance and everything, I'm on guard. Also I saw him sprinting through the mall earlier," explained Pisces. "That guy is calm and claims that he got lost. The Aquarius that I saw clearly looked panicked."

"So... you think that's not actually Aquarius?" asked Cancer.

"I'm just saying we don't know what kind of powers other constellations in the world have, so always keep Aquarius in your sight and never be in the same room with him alone,"

"I'm getting kind of scared. If that is an imposter then... why are we bringing him back to our house?" asked Gemini.

"Thad the thing! I need you guys to help me distract the others. We can't let that potential imposter know where we live or where Phoenix lives. Don't tell anyone else because we don't want the imposter to suspect us."

***

Aquarius woke up. He was in a pitch black room. He tried to move. He was tied to a chair and his hands and feet were tied.

"Who's there?" asked a familiar voice.

"Wait a second! Hydra?" asked Aquarius.

"AQUARIUS?" asked Hydra.

"WOOHOO I found you! We're all looking for you, you know?"

"That's great! So how do you plan on getting us out of here?"

"We could! Wait... where are we?"

"We've been kidnapped, obviously!"

"By who?"

"..."

"Hydra?"

"It doesn't matter who! The point is that we're locked up and we can't escape!"

"How do you know that we can't escape?"

"This guy is the one that Gemini might of mentioned to you guys. He broke out of prison and stole a bunch of top secret government technology that he plans on using against us."

"How do you know all this?"

"..."

"Okay, were both kidnapped! You've got nothing to lose by telling me about the idiot that tied us up! And do you know who that girl is?"

"I'm sorry Aquarius but I can't tell you that! Wait you said there was a girl?"

"Yeah. Short black hair, red-brown eyes. She shape shifted into Taurus and tricked me."

"Oh no."

"What?"

"This is worst that I thought. He has her too!"

"WHO?!?"

"I can't tell you!"

"Hmmph be that way! I'm giving you the silent treatment until you tell me!"

"Why couldn't I have been locked up with a smarter zodiac?"

"Who are you calling dumb?"

"You dumbass!"

"Ouch. Why are you being mean?"

"Because you're annoying me! And I thought you were going to give me the silent treatment."

"Starting now!"

***

"Wait, where are we going?" asked Sagittarius when the cat turned around.

"Pisces just texted me. He said that Phoenix is staying at a hotel and we're going to meet her there," explained Scorpio.

"Huh? That's odd," said Leo.

"Oh well. Let's just go there. Everyone else is going there too," said Aries.

***

The zodiacs got out of their cars and walked into the hotel. Pisces made a reservation for this hotel in advance and told the staff to give them the key card for them room when they arrived. Capricorn walked up to the front desk and received the key card.

"What room is she in?" asked Virgo.

"Room 209," said Cancer. Then the zodiacs walked over to the elevator.

"So, did anyone find Hydra?" asked Capricorn.

"Uh... wait what? Sorry I hit my head and I think it affected my memory," said Aquarius.

"Hydra is missing, remember?" asked Gemini.

"I think I saw her walking around," said Aquarius.

"Idiot! Then why didn't you tell us?" asked Libra.

"Because she seemed fine," replied Aquarius.

"But we were told to find her," said Taurus.

"She told me that she was just shopping a bit and she was going to head home soon," said Aquarius. Pisces, Cancer and Gemini kept exchanging suspicious glances with each other. The other zodiacs were feeling a bit uneasy.

When they got to the room, Capricorn unlocked the door with the keycard. Then at the same time Pisces, Cancer and Gemini pushed "Aquarius" into the hotel room and shut the door. Gemini made a wind wall between the zodiacs and the door. "Aquarius" opened the door and looked confused.

"Hey, what was that for?" Then Aquarius tried to walk forward but he bumped into the wind wall.

"We're just playing a trick on you. Now, use your powers to make it go away!" demanded Gemini.

"What?" asked Aquarius.

Cancer crossed her arms. "You have air powers Aquarius, so make the wind wall go away."

"Why do I have to do that?" asked Aquarius.

"Can you do it or not?" asked Pisces.

"What are you guys doing?" asked Libra.

Taurus pointed to the imposter. "I get it. That is NOT AQUARIUS!"

"Then who is that?" asked Aries.

Aquarius started chuckling. "So the cute ones are the clever ones. You've figured me out, but trust me, I won't let you get away with this!" Then all of the sudden a bit of black mist swirled in front of the wind wall.

"RUN!" screamed Scorpio. Everyone started running. Virgo looked back. The black mist disappeared and and the wind wall broke.

"He made black mist that got rid of the wind!" said Virgo. All of the zodiacs ran in the elevator. Sagittarius repeatedly pressed the close button. Aquarius ran closer and he was about to step in the elevator when the doors closed.

"Run for the cars and keep an eye on the hotel. When you're sure that everyone is in your car speed away. Whatever you do don't go home in case he follows us!" announced Capricorn's panicked voice.

"Wait! If that's not Aquarius where is the real Aquarius?" asked Leo.

Then the doors opened. The zodiacs sprinted for the cars. Aries, Leo, Sagittarius and Scorpio all jumped in their car and sped away. Capricorn, Libra and Virgo all jumped in their car and sped away. Taurus, Pisces and Gemini got in their car and they looked back to see Cancer running for them. Taurus started up the car and Cancer was about to jump in when a bunch of mist swirled around her feet making her unable to move.

"CANCER!" screamed Taurus. Pisces jumped out of the car and tried to pull Cancer in but her feet wouldn't move. Then Aquarius started walking up to then.

"GO! HE'LL TRAP YOU TOO!" screamed Cancer. Pisces froze. "GEMINI! GET HIM OUT OF HERE!" Then a bunch of wind knocked Pisces into the car. Gemini slammed the door shut and the tires screeched as Taurus sped away.

***

The zodiacs drove to Hydra and Phoenix' house. They parked their cars into the Hydra's huge garage.

"Why did we come here? I thought we shouldn't lead him to our house or Hydra's house," said Leo.

"Because he's busy at the moment," muttered Taurus.

"What do you mean?" asked Virgo.

"Let's go inside. I don't like standing out here in the open," said Libra. Then they knocked on the door. Phoenix opened it.

"Oh no! What's going on?" asked Phoenix.

Capricorn sighed. "We need somewhere to stay."

***

Capricorn was in the middle of explaining their situation when Sagittarius interrupted her.

"Wait! We left Cancer outside. We should let her in because what if "Aquarius" comes back?" asked Sagittarius. Pisces started crying. "Uh... why is Pisces crying? Where's Cancer?"

"Ugh... I don't feel too well," said Scorpio.

"What's going on?" asked Aries.

"I don't know. Ever since we left that place I've been feeling a sense of dread. This doesn't make sense but it's like I can feel someone else is in trouble," explained Scorpio.

"Libra said the same thing earlier," said Aries.

"Who is "someone else"?" asked Capricorn.

"I don't know," replied Scorpio.

Gemini looked pale. "When we were leaving..."

Sagittarius stood up. "Did she fall asleep in the car? I'll go out and bring her in!"

"Sagittarius... sit down!" ordered Taurus.

Sagittarius felt his heart hammering against his chest. "What's going on?"

Gemini bit her lip. "Imposter Aquarius took her."

Question time! You don't have to answer I just want to see what you guys think!

1) Who do you think the guy that Gemini keeps seeing is?

2) Who do you think the shapeshifter girl is?

3) Why are they kidnapping the zodiacs? (not the same reason as in Zodiac Mansion)

4) Why won't Hydra tell them anything?
