This is IMPORTANT. Don't stop reading if your sign died. If you die in a simulation, you're not ACTUALLY dead since it's not your actual body. Their bodies are still alive in that room tied to the chair. If someone can free the "dead" zodiacs from their simulation, their actual bodies will wake up.

Gemini got up. Her mace had a bigger ball on the end and the spikes were sharpened. My weapon. It's upgraded... NOOOOOOO THAT MEANS LIBRA OR AQUARIUS IS DEAD. NOOOOOOO I CAN'T DEAL WITH THIS!

The emotions overwhelmed Gemini and she started crying. She couldn't believe that one of her air sign buddies is dead.

"GEMINI!!!" Then Gemini felt herself fall back. Pisces was on top of her.

"PISCES... you'll never believe what happened!"

"GUYS! GEMINI IS ALIVE!" screamed Pisces. "Gemini... when I heard the announcement... I was so worried. I was terrified that I'd find your body in one of the hallways. I don't know if I could deal with that," said Pisces.

"Im glad that you're alive too but I kinda knew you weren't dead," said Gemini.

"How?" asked Pisces.

"Me... Libra and Aquarius. We were in the hallways last night. We were attacked by this... thing. Pisces! Libra or Aquarius is dead!"

"Gemini!" Gemini felt another person jump on top of her. She looked up to see that Cancer joined the group hug.

"It could have been a lie to make us panic. I refuse to accept that one of us is dead," said Scorpio.

"But I... I have this feeling. I... it's like there's an eerie feeing in my heart. I know that one of them are dead because... I can feel it. They're not alive but... not quite dead," said Gemini.

"Like as ghost?" asked Cancer.

"I don't know. Maybe! Can we revive ghosts if we survive?" asked Gemini.

"Gemini is just worried about them. Hydrus lied, no one is dead, it will be fine," said Scorpio.

"But Scor-"

"I SAID NO ONE IS DEAD!" screamed Scorpio who was in denial.

"She didn't mean to yell at you. She's not taking this very well," said Pisces.

"I think this stupid maze is driving her crazy," said Cancer.

"I'm not crazy! NO. ONE. IS. DEAD!" announced Scorpio.

"We're all already crazy!" said Pisces.

"Let's just go find the others," said Gemini.

"Saggi looks so happy. Should we wake him up?" asked Leo.

"Do you want to be the one he gets mad at for ruining a nice dream?" asked Aries.

"No," replied Leo.

  Sagittarius was in a house, baking brownies. He took them out of the oven and stuck a toothpick in. It came out clean. The brownies were finished baking.

"That smells lovely!" Sagittarius turned around to see Cancer smiling at him.

"I added in little chucks of cookie dough. Just the way you like it!"

"Daddy!" two kids ran up to Sagittarius and grabbed onto his legs.

"Hey guys, I baked brownies for everyone. We have to wait for them to cool down first."

"We love you so much Sagittarius!" said Cancer. Then the roof opened up and a bunch of water poured all over Sagittarius...

"WHO FUCKING WOKE ME UP!" screeched Sagittarius. Leo tossed the water bottle to Aries. Aries threw it away.

"Uh... uh... we need to kill some monsters!" said Leo.

"I was having an amazing dream before YOU WOKE ME UP YOU LITTLE PIECE OF SHIT!" Sagittarius grabbed onto the front of Leo's shirt.

"STOP! We're supposed to kill monsters! Not each other!" said Aries who pulled Leo away from Sagittarius. "In case you shitheads haven't noticed, ONE OF OUR FRIENDS IS DEAD! We have more serious things to worry about than Sagittarius's amazing dream!"

"Whatever. As long as it comes true I'll get over this," said Sagittarius.

"Do you think it was a dream about him and Cancer-" Aries tugged on Leo's ear.

"Don't provoke him."

***

Libra got up. His neck was sore. He reached up and felt metal. He had a metal collar around his neck. Libra got up and started walking. Then someone ran forward.

"LIBRA! I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE ALRIGHT!" Capricorn was about to tackle him but Virgo grabbed her arms and pulled her back. "Virgo? What are you doing? You can hug Libby after but I'm his girlfriend so I get to hug him first!"

"It's not that. Look at his neck," said Virgo. Capricorn was so excited that she didn't see the metal collar around his neck.

Taurus gasped. "Is that one of the collars that Hydrus stole? The ones that control someone?" No one answered. They already knew the answer.

"CAPRICORN LOOK OUT!" Virgo pulled Capricorn back. The knife skimmed her ear.

"Libra... are you... dead?" asked Capricorn.

"OF COURSE HE IS! RUN BEFORE HE KILLS US!" screamed Taurus. Then the earth signs ran away.

***

After they got far enough, the earth signs sat down.

"Libra is... DEAD?" asked Capricorn. For once, she let the others see how devastated she really was.

"He's being controlled! That means that his actual body outside of the simulation is still alive, otherwise he wouldn't be able to walk around, right?" reassured Virgo while giving best friend Cappy a hug.

"That's right. Thanks for saving my ass back there, Virgo," said Capricorn.

"I feel terrible but, I'm a little relieved that Aquarius is fine. Does that make me selfish?" asked Taurus.

"Yes," said Virgo for a joke.

"Not at all. If it were Aquarius instead, I would of felt the same way about L-Libra," said Capricorn.

"We need to get out of here. That way we'll end the simulation and we'll get Libra back," said Taurus.

"Come on Cappy. You can cry on my shoulder if you want. Then you'll pour your heart out and tell me about all your emotions! Then our bond will reach the next level. We'll be... super duper best friends! Ooh! We'll go on adventures together and we'll sing lots of songs! We'll be the closest best friends in the world! And then my kids and your kids will be best friends too! It will be a continuous cycle of Virgo descendants being best friends with Capricorn descendants!" said Virgo.

"Virgo, did you hit your head?" asked Taurus.

Capricorn laughed. "I guess we'd better get out of here. I can't make kids to be best friends with your kids if we die in here."

"What do you think Scorpio would say if I told her you're planning on having kids with her already? I'm thinking her face will turn tomato red before she chases after you screaming threats," joked Taurus. All three of them laughed.

Libra was trapped. He was inside his body... but he wasn't. Someone else was moving his legs and controlling his arms. He knew that he died but he didn't know if he could live with himself. After all, Hydrus was trying to make him kill his own friends. This was a nightmare come true.

***

Aquarius was exploring the maze. On his own. He was desperately searching for anyone. He was ten times more scared without anyone to help him.

"HEYYYYYYYYYYYY! ANYONE THERE?" asked Aquarius. Then he walked to the end of another hallway. There was something odd at the end of this one.

Aquarius ran forward. It was a lever. For whatever reason, Aquarius thought this would be a great idea! So he pulled the lever. Then he was blinded by a bright light.

When Aquarius opened his eyes... he was in a different hallway.

"Taurus!" Aquarius tackled Taurus who was looking around confused.

"Aquarius! What's going on?" asked Taurus.

"Huh? Why am I here?" asked Sagittarius. Then another bright light appeared out of nowhere. The light went away to reveal Cancer.

"Ahem. Great job fuckheads!" Said Hydrus' calm, soothing voice. "One of you really made things complicated! It would appear one of you found a hidden switch. This switch randomized everyone. Listen closely. We can't separate the rooms by element anymore because the others in your element are scattered everywhere. That's why we're assigning you TEAM COLOURS. Taurus, Aquarius, Cancer and Sagittarius are team red. You guys can only go on red rooms. Capricorn, Aries, Pisces and Gemini are team blue. Only blue rooms for you sad folks. Finally, Virgo, Scorpio and Leo are team green. If you think things just got a lot more confusing THANK AQUARIUS! He's the one who did this! Or kill him. Either way see you all when you're dead!"
