Fantasy Astro-Z: Ready Players? [Closed]

[Ariel]

It was chilly for an early autumn night. Most assumed winter would come early this year. Viratella was a city situated in a place that allowed for pleasant seasons. The summer was never too hot and the winter never too cold. In the center of Viratella was a bustling city, a popular tourist spot, and on the outskirts were suburbs and farmlands. From the outside looking in, it almost seemed like a perfect place, its citizens happy and the environment peaceful and pretty. But no place was perfect and Viratella was in fact a popular spot for crime. Tourists were mugged for their travel funds. Murders took place in the thick of the city and bodies were found in the more rural areas. The council, in charge of running the city, prided themselves on maintaining a healthy and safe city, which meant lying and sweeping unpleasant things under the rug. So from an outsider's perspective, it looked like every person's dream home. Even on the inside, nobody was privy to all of terrible things that happened, but they knew it wasn't as perfect as it seemed.

~

A girl with blonde hair and blue eyes stood in a backyard, the breeze taking up her locks and whipping it around gently. The moon had begun to rise over the treetops whereas the last light of day seeped from the sky like ink, bleeding out of the picture. Her gaze was not focused on the sky or the moon or even the space around her. Even as voices came from the home behind her, warm light and pleasant smells filtering from the windows open to let in fresh air. Her head was tilted downward and her eyes fixated on a small silver device in her palm. The screen lit up, only visible to her eyes. Each device was this way. Flat and somewhat egg shaped. Silver, almost chromic. And the screen was bright, but only to the ices of the owner. To anyone else, it would just look like a piece of metal, perhaps a decorative object. It was indestructible. No matter how much it was smashed, thrown, crushed, heated, or scraped, it never broke, never even scratched. And it was a good thing too. With how careless she was, it would have broken long ago.

If Emelia listened closely, she could hear the sounds of her friends family, preparing for dinner, talking amongst themselves. She'd said she was going to walk home, walk to her apartment, but as always the device in her pocket called out to her. It was always around this time that it seemed to grow heavier, colder and more prominent to her, making it very aware of its presence. She'd planned to just head home tonight. She had homework to do, people to call, errands to run but... Emelia couldn't resist. A smile spread to her lips as she ran her thumb over the device bringing it to life. A simply touch button appeared on the center of the screen without words or prompts. It didn't need any. She'd lost track of the amount of times she'd done this, how many times she'd called upon Leo to transform.

She still remembered beating the game as if it was happening. The memory was so vivid. She'd been sitting alone in her apartment, the harsh light casting shadows on her walls. It was shortly after she'd moved here, the apartment still hadn't been quite unpacked and she'd stayed up late for yet another night to try and slay the beast of a game. As she entered the code and brought up the third option, a delighted smile rose to her face. It was thrilling and exciting. She'd wanted to bounce up and down, dance around, but she didn't have the chance to. The eerie prompt appeared on screen and without thinking much about it, she hit yes almost instantly, not sure what it meant. And when the device had first appeared before her, she'd again hit the button without hesitating. When she'd transformed, she'd been so excited, she'd immediately left her home to go try out her new powers, powers she had felt coursing through her when she'd run into the mugger. A girl no older than fifteen had been going home late when someone in a hood knocked her down and tried to take her money. Almost instinctively, Emelia had found her purpose that day. With the powers of a superhero, it only made sense that she should be one. It was the first time she helped someone and for once, instead of just entertaining herself, she felt good for something wonderful, like she was involved in something greater than herself.

She remembers the first time another zodiac popped up on the device. At first, she hadn't been sure what it meant. But after thinking about it, it made sense that more people would beat the game and come to face a similar opportunity. She'd contacted each zodiac as they came up immediately. If they responded, she made it her goal to welcome them and show them the ropes. If they didn't... well, she didn't hold it against them. Still, it made her pretty well known among the zodiacs when she'd adopted the role of a makeshift welcome committee.

Thinking about everything now had her smiling wider, reminiscent. Her thumb tapped the screen and a light enveloped her, almost briefly, making its way over her body in a wave of color. Where it touched her, she changed. Her street clothes were replaced with an outfit akin to the one she'd seen in game for the character representing Leo. Strapped to her thighs were holsters with guns. At first, she'd been weary about them, having never held a gun in her life. But when she'd first tried them out, it came naturally to her as if she'd done it her whole life. Apparently they'd not only adopted the appearance and powers of their zodiacs, but the skills and experience as well. Her hair changed from a pale blonde to a fiery red and was held up on her head by a fluffy ornament. Her eyes were still the same color blue, something that didn't change for her, even if it did with other zodiacs.

Emelia tilted her head upwards, finally taking in the night sky and the stars twinkling above.
"One more night couldn't kill me..."
And with that, she began making her way towards the city, jumping over houses, fences and rooftops with ease. Yet another thing borrowed from the zodiacs.

Clay loved the game, and was very sad to have it end like it did. When the prompt appeared, he thought to himself all the possibilities that could come upon him, like a second game or an upgrade to his zodiac. When he pressed yes, never did he imagine that this would be the case. He was swimming in a pond outside of his building that night with his zodiac activated, having fun with his powers, when he heard a scream coming from the docks nearby his home. He immediately took off to the place, a ready smile upon his face. He watched as a man held a gun up to a little girls head. "Give me my money, damn it!" The man yelled. The girl whimpered, and Clay chuckled. He jumped into the water, and used his power. The water from beneath the dock flew upwards, drenching the thug. The little girl stood in shock, and he surfaced from the water. "Hey. Better get home before your parents get worried." The girl nodded as she ran away, and he jumped onto the dock. The thug tried to attack him, but he twisted the mans arm and called the police, pushing him onto the ground as he tied him up. He wrote a quick note and jumped back into the water as the man got arrested.

And that was when he realized what he wanted to be. He stood on the rooftop of a building, watching the sunset. He pulled out his tablet as he sent an alert to the Leo zodiac to come meet up with him

Nat would be sitting up in his parent's apartment, looking down at the rest of the city. He wheeled back in his gaming chair, and spun around, getting up in such a fluid motion, it could've only been achieved through months of practice... which had been exactly what'd happened. He pulled out his phone, and stared at a picture of his family, long and hard, and then unlocked his phone, and then called a pizza place. "Yes, one large meat lovers pizza. And one lava cake desert." He'd hang up, and then decided he was going to do a video game stream.

Ever since beating Astro-Z... that device, he'd accepted the prompt. He thought it was some silly joke programmed in by the devs. And then he wasn't him. He'd tested his powers, thinking 'I'm gonna be a superhero!' "There are more like me..." Nat said to himself, Looking at the device, while his Nintendo Wii U came on, He had just about every 'modern' gaming console thanks to his career choice in streaming. a good ol' classic. 'can't go wrong with Smash 4. When will smash for switch come on though...' He thought to himself, as he set up the live stream, getting his face cam on, stream chat ready, and setting up everything required. Soon he had about 1000 viewers watching him Play King Dedede, as he failed time and time again to get the gordo setup.

Soon he'd come to realize it'd been dark outside. "Huh, well it got dark fast. Welp, it's Autumn." He said to himself and the stream, as the doorbell rang. "Welp, I'ma just pause the stream here for an hour or so." He said, selecting a pause preset, which replaced his face cam and game footage with a picture of Kirby and Kind Dedede fighting. He questioned the delivery man why'd the pizza had taken 20 minutes longer than stated. He got a reply which went something along the lines of 'Red head women jumping on top of rooftops' Nat then realized what this meant. He shoved a 20 into the pizza boy's hand, and took the pizza, and immediately shut off his stream, saying his goodbyes, and putting up his end of stream slideshow of people who subscribed.

He realized he'd put the device down somewhere, and wasn't able to find it, when all of a sudden, he felt it in his pocket. Nathaniel let out a sigh of relief, and then while cramming his face with as much pizza as he could, 3 slices stacked on top of each other, he then used the zodevice™ to transform into Aquarius, His blue hair elongating somewhat, but in a boyish way. He felt his sudden change of clothes from his comfy streaming suit into his majestic cape, and felt his long dagger on his side.

He dahsed up the staircase leading to the rooftops of the city, and then he focused long and hard, searching all over for the sound of running on rooftops, until he located where the other zodiac was. He then performed similar feet's of prowess, leaping from building to building, trying to figure out what the other zodiac was doing, until he came up to see the Leo zodiac, he could tell from the red fiery hair. "Well then, I'll just watch for now, and see what happens."

'Arika Arimutsu'



Prequal.

The screens blaring light blurred her eyes as she tried to remain focused on the picture in front of herself that night, wincing as she slowly covered them with a sigh, raising a brow curiously from her slouched and cross legged position in front of the couch, having decided the carpet and back cushions a far more comfortable option than actually going through with the effort of pulling herself up and onto it, the whole two seconds of it. Remote grasped in hand she hadn't thought much of the options she'd selected, having been playing video games just about non stop for the past five or six months did that to you, not minding whatever strange ending the game had in mind and though she didn't want to admit it, this latest journey had been one of the best.

She'd spent days and nights studying and working out the code of the game, beating level after level time and time again till she achieved her goal, to win the game, to beat it and become the strongest- far stronger than she could ever feel in real life at current times. Sighing her head flopped back with a satisfied smirk, placing the black device down from her hands she pushed a hand against her calf going to get up and cook some instant ramen for what felt like the billionth time in a row on the whim of her cravings until something caught her the corner of her eyes…. A small slightly glowing silver piece resting just beside the t.v. Though most may brush this off as a left over wrapped or something left out she knew this room better than anyone, every inch of mess and speck of dirt and that was defiantly not there when she'd first sat down.

Slowly inching forwards on hands and knees she tucked a few stray strands of hair behind her left ear, magenta and violet eyes almost seeming to spark in the devices reflection as she reached forwards and her fingertips gently curled around it's smooth edges, cool and almost soothing to the touch, slowly her hand moved closer towards the button upon the middle of the screen, almost by instincts at the unknown and no existent prompt before making contact.

That was when everything changed.

____________

Present.

The moon's gentle rays were cool that night, chiller than they'd been in a while for the kimono like style of dressing the girl upon the rooftop stood in watching the city below, her eyes now a crimson red of anger and bloodlust though hair a delicate pale white like the whips of fairies themselves as the hairpiece sat in her hair keeping strands of the fringe out of view. Longer sleeves trailed down as her scythe gripped tight in her right hand, it's cool metal rod easily fitting her grip almost as though perfectly ergonomically designed for herself, it's blade glinting like her eyes as they scanned the night and slowly beginning to twinkle stars as the sun said it's final goodbyes for the time being, until tomorrow.

A scream pierced her ears as her face shot in that direction, in an elegant leap her form moved swiftly from building in strides and jumps sideways to the view of a businessman cowering behind his shoulder bag to the smirk of seemingly drunk man wielding a small pocketknife blade, a chuckle escaped quietly as her lips pursed into a smirk, "You think that's a blade?~…." she whispered, the mans eyes darting around quickly in fear though not entirely leaving his target within the alley, "Whoou's dere!?" she called, his shoe burying further into the stone ground underfoot with a grimace.

All that could be seen was a glint of light on the scythe's blade as it swept downwards strongly against the mans fingertips at an angle so precisely cut it left but small markings against the skin, growing cocky he chuckled loudly, "Ya think a few paper cuts are gonna stop me? Reveal yourself!" she called, in the mans confusion and step around the scared business ran, her eyes shooting thankfully yet annoyed at him, was it so hard to spare a quick thanks to the person saving your life? With a small sigh she emerged from the darkness of the shadows in a gently strolling pace, the mans brows furrowing in confusion at the appearance of the traditionally clothed girl, gripping the blade of his knife tighter, or at least thinking he was before glancing down with a trembling glance at the blade that had been dropped more than a minuet ago, his hand frozen and pale as the girls hair itself, his knee joints freezing and other fingers stiffening as he tried to pull and run away, slowly she moved forwards, leaning in close to the heat of the mans body before giving a small prod forwards with the end and blunted side of her blade, the man falling over backwards unable to do much to resist.

"Don't worry so much~…. It'll only last five or so minuets, maybe ten at a stretch but then again- by then I'm sure you're little friend will have already alerted the authorities, correct?" her smirk never leaving her lips as with one last devious smirk she leapt up against the wall grabbing onto the roofs edge with a hand and flipping herself over easily with seemingly professional acrobatic like skills. Feeling a gentle buzz in her pocket she reached in and grabbed the silver gameboy like shape from within as she continued to leap a few buildings further before pausing, scanning the group chats message with a stubborn hiss under her breath, if you asked her this Leo girl was being far too friendly for her own liking, not too mention this Pices fella seemed to be getting far to friendly with the other, huffing she leant back against the locked door of a metal staircase on top of a medium sized complex.

She hadn't replied yet but what made her think she should? these people could be anyone, anything. Did she really want to take that chance? To risk something in order for the potential of no answers and an all new enemy did she want- she shook her head, thoughts overwhelming her as she sighed, raising a hand up against her forehead feeling a singular bead of sweat drip down from panic and a small pant, even with the zodiacs boosted abilities she was still six months pregnant with some jerky douchebags child and even she had to admit she'd been a little less urhm- open, since then.

Slowly her fingers traced down the screen and began to type, 'It's a pretty nice night tonight….. isn't it?…..'- Scorpio the text was sent before she could stop it and with a brief held gasp of nervousness she slid the thing back away and awaited either another crime or a response.

Nat sitting under the caress of the the moonlight's glow would feel a slight buzz in his pocket. Curious, he pulled it out, and then investigated 'Hang on, since when did we have a group chat?' Nat would think to himself, sitting atop the skyscraper, looking at the message. 'It's a pretty nice night tonight….. isn't it?…..'- Scorpio. "I guess it is quite a nice night." Nat got to work, thinking of a reply not too long, not too short. He felt the air rush past him, chilling his fingers as he typed up his reply to this 'Scorpio'

"It is quite a nice night..." - Aquarius : Nat'd see on the Zodevice. "First Leo, and now a Scorpio? Seems like there's a few more than two people who beat the game..." Nathaniel would say to himself, as he watched the cars of the city go past him, nothing more than tiny little red and slightly yellow dots. He saw the whole city from where he stood. He simply jump down, bouncing off the side of buildings as he eventually came to a small mugging against a young pair of siblings.

Nathaniel would make an entrance by jumping down after bouncing off buildings, and then he placed the tip against the muggers neck 'If you don't but down that club, the cops'll have to sew your head back on to get a mugshot" Nat winced as he realized how harsh and bad the pun he made was. However it worked, as the mugger dropped the wooden club with nails, and dropped to his knees. Nathaniel would grab some zipties from his pockets, and tied the guy up to an exposed pipeline.

Nathaniel masquerading under the alias Aquarius, stealing the name from the zodiac, called the cops, and then sent the young siblings on their way, He then resumed bounding from building to building.

CODY STONE
THEME Mess With the Bull, and You Get...

Toucans cawed sharply echoing from the canopy. Glassy brown monkey eyes readjusted among the greenery. Cougars stretched out their massive paws with yawns of rumbling purrs. Cody Stone butt-scratched one, chuckling at being ignored. But once he noticed a masked man with an assault rifle sneak down a cement corridor, the joy sank from his face. "Ah, poachers. Again."

Locking the cage behind him, Cody stalked the masked man down the hall. Meanwhile, he unpocketed the silver Zodevice. With a press of a thumb,
a whoosh of energy changed him down to the cellular level.

An enormous man stepped out of his place, instantly, in a white tiger fur cloak and a midnight blue obi. A color-matched and heavyweight lance dangled from one fat fist. His piercing eyes glowed dark with fury. "Stop."

The strange voice reached the poacher, freezing him in his tracks. The masked man turned carefully, thinking he was held at gunpoint. He exhaled with relief before filling the corridor with hysterical laughter.

"Dude, you had me! Seriously, what are ya, dressed up like you're at a comic-con? What, Key? That Taurus, from Astro-Z? Gatdamn!"

Key glanced down at himself, realizing how silly and normal he looked after all. The poacher aimed the assault rifle straight at him and opened fire. Raising the lance he ricocheted almost all the bullets back, but caught one in the leg. The poacher screamed non-stop as the bullets cracked past him, lodged into the cement walls. Key trudged on, in slow-motion, carrying ethereal weight.

The poacher dropped the assault rifle, stunned at this prowling silent predator, pressing on with muscles rippling like that of a bull. A gargantuan animal that was undeterred and didn't flinch at getting shot. Key's head cocked.

"You effed up."

Blam! The poacher was slammed indenting the wall by one powerful and swift kick. The zoo roared and shrieked with animals startled from the sudden jarring of the ground and structures. Baboons wailed, and otters dove back into the water. Surely, the masked man was knocked unconscious from the solid impact and from the sheer agonizing pain of ribs shattered and dislodged in multiple places. Key was confident that this unlucky soul would never walk normally for the rest of his life. His spirit and body were now effectively broken.

With that concluded, Key understood his work here was done.

With a press of a thumb, whoosh. Cody Stone stepped out of Key's place. A bullet dropped, clattering on the floor. His leg was unwounded. He shuddered at the grisly sight of the mangled and motionless poacher. He stammered and glanced at the Zodevice where the other luminaries glimmered. Leo. PIsces. Aries. Gemini. Aquarius. Scorpio. It blipped with alerts, as they all wanted to get together and finally meet. Face to face. Since Astro-Z was a deadly game, Cody was sure it was not over. The real game has only just begun.

[Luckz]

Chandler was sat relaxing on his sofa, a blanket wrapped around him and a cup of strong coffee in his hands. Luckily Chandler had a place to himself, a floor if he was being honest, it had a his own studio for his fashion design, of course every artist needs his own, a gaming room full with his every need and plenty of paintings adorning the room, inspiration littered across the floor, a large kitchen, and a master bedroom, with a walk-in wardrobe of course. "Oh Ross," he laughed as his favourite program was on in the background, Ross was screaming pivot as they all struggled, FRIENDS was a gift to this Earth.

"Maybe I should open my own coffee shop," he chuckled as he placed a finger to his lips, feeling the ring's cold silver invade his own warmth. Chandler lulled his head back, nice and comfy at this late hour when a sharp ring eachoed from behind him. "They know not to call me at this time," the man took his work phone off it's wireless charging pad and brought it to his ear.

"Ah Sir, I'm sorry but we just had an email come through, they are promoting your new line in their next music video!" An Indian woman sounded out, squeeling, "also LFW are showing your newest collection as well!" Chandler inside was screaming but his exterior revealed nothing but a cocky laugh.

"Lovely Sareen! I'll buy you all a few rounds ans gifts for the staff, I won't keep you waiting," she laughed through the phone and Chandler smirked.

"Thanks Sir, goodnight," she put the phone down and Chandler removed his also, he was about to scream when a different notification rung out. "Ooh, that's new," he pulled out the egg-like shape and stared at it, the outer seemingly glowing in the pale television light as he pressed his finger upon it, the screen lit up and his brows furrowed. "Hmm," many zodiacs had yet to reveal themselves, he was the third one as far as he was concerned, Leo and he believed it was Aquarius was before him, she had offered her help and Chandler had been wary to accept it, instead he practiced by himself for a while before he showed up once to greet her. Chandler had definitely flirted with her before exiting just as quickly as he came, all he did was say thanks but no thanks and a few other things that were irrelevant. The Aries nestled into the sofa, with a grin, he preferred to remain mysterious in this aspect of his life, he enjoyed the contrast. "Nice night? Oh really, I haven't looked, perhaps I should take a stroll?" Chandler lived in a very very nice area of the city and was only a 20 minute drive from the Uni he attended, not to mention in one of the nicest cars money could buy, he did really well with his own brand, it was enough to rival his father's fortune and he loved that, fashion would go much further for him.

Chandler stood up, he was in a matching dark grey tracksuit, his body was perfect and he really did ensure he looked good at all times. The gym he went to, Reflex was where he enjoyed training and learning from his teacher. The man clicked the button and was quickly changed, a cape and hood attached to a very lavish suit-like outfit. His hair was dyed a fiery red and he covered the top half of his face in a mask that matched the entire outfit, his face was kept under the hood at mostly all times unless it came off, he just didn't want to be recognised, a specimen like him of course. "Tsh," he stretched and ensured the Katana was safe and secure. "This must be how Bruce Wayne feels, so exhilarating," Lindo the Aries left his floor by the sliding door that led to a balcony and expertly jumped upwards, rapidly advancing up the side of the building and heading into a different area of the city.
-
Chandler chuckled as he stared at his tech, he wouldn't message on that not if he didn't need to to. Aries jumped effortlessly as he arrived at a common place for teens to spray paint. He quite liked it, their art was incredible and it definitely gave a little more pop to the city.

"Lindo! Aries!" He was met with a chorus of 'what's up' and 'hey man' from the boys and girls. "I painted this, it's your tag, it's a pair of ram horns,"

"I'm an Aries too! I love Astro-Z, you look so cool as Lindo!"

He chuckled and looked at the lamb horns, "How many of these are over the city?"

"Loads! We paint 'em at most places and even in obvious places where people pass each day!" A pasty boy said with a smile.

"Hmm fair," Aries had no objections, he kept elusive and loved the idea of being known among the kids and teens, it would definitely be a good stepping stone, very beneficial.

"Nice, don't forget no smoking and drugs guys, spend your money on clothes and whatever else, because when you look good, you feel good and when you look good you feel good," Chandler's brand was very affordable, he had both high end and normal clothing lines which made him really appealing, if these kids spent more on their clothes and other things it kept them out of trouble and increased his revenue, win-win.

"Can you crack this for us?"

"Sure,"

Aries took a step back and positioned himself facing the brick wall, he took a deep breath and flames sprouted from his mouth, the spray paint cracking and revealing the layers underneath to create an incredible effect and bursts of colour. He stopped, he couldn't do it very long, yet, just a couple if seconds which luckily was all that needed, it made him go light head and feel a bit ill but he hid it and saluted, jumping up the brick wall and disappearing from sight

Aries travelled a short distance before standing up on a high rooftop. He pinged the group, his first ever message. "I'll meet you here," was all he said, he'd declare the meeting point, Chandler wanted to know his exits incase anything went sour.

 

[Prince_]

Nataniel would've been eating the rest of his pizza, which was now cold and didn't taste nearly as good as when it was fresh, when he received the notification from his Zodevice, Just simply "I'll meet you here" - Aries
"Well... There's a location attached... And only another Zodiac could've gotten these devices, and the Zodiacs are super hero's... but, this could be a trap, right? So many crooks are beaten half to death."

Nathaniel sat having an argument whether it was safe to meet with the other zodiacs. He only knew Leo, and he knew there were other zodiacs from the stories of crooks being caught with broken ribcages, scars, and so many more... he'd even heard some crooks had been completely paralyzed, which he could only guess would be Scorpio. "Well, what would Aries' strengths and weakness' be? You know what, why should I worry? He's a zodiac!"

Nathaniel, as Aquarius, leaped off from the building, headed to the meetup location. All the while thinking to himself 'please don't let this be a trap...' Nat said, running on the walls of the city, poeple pointing out, and saying things like 'Be my friend!' "Course I'm the one zodiac that's a joke of being everyone's friend!" He muttered to himself as he continued to jump building wall to building wall, until he came up to the location stated, and he looked around.

"Well, I'm here now!"

[Cosmos]

Arika couldn't quite believe her eyes when the zodevice buzzed with a response- what kinda name was zodevice? argh- it just seemed to suit it for some reason and she couldn't get it out of her head, maybe playing so many video games no stop could rot your brain a little. With an awkward sigh she got up, cheeks flustering noticing the response had in fact been directed towards her, or at least was blushing till her brows furrowed in concern and confusion at the next few replies, something about a meet up.

She knew Leo had most likely met some of the others but quite frankly she hadn't had any intentions to or at least not yet, luckily her appearance was almost completely different in zodiac form besides a few unique and tells ale eaters such as a- uh, bump, that she was managing to cover pretty well thanks to the kimono ribbon around her waist, though getting hit in the stomach was still a pretty big fear, could that hurt the baby? how much? What would she do? Could she go to a hospital? Would they need parental permission? What would happen to her families title an then her friends would find out and the other zodiacs and she'd suddenly become a superhero and an!?-

Before she even realised it she was halfway through a stuttering breath panic attack collapsed with a hand on her face and fingers pressing against her cheek and forehead, eyes closed tightly as she tried to sturdy her breaths and took a few moments of just enjoying the silence, letting her head go back and hit against the cool metal door she slapped her cheeks lightly, for now she didn't have to think about this. Right now she wasn't some kid who'd managed to get knocked up way too young, no, right now she was a hero, one who didn't have to worry about that kinda stuff, one who didn't have to rely on anyone an could do everything needed to save others- or at least that's what her stubborn minded brain was telling herself to get her thoughts off other things.

Slowly she stumbled upwards and with a few light cheek slaps leapt forwards over the buildings, following landmark sin the attached image before stopping her jumps just a little away from the location, another zodiac could mean anything good or bad and from what she'd seen in the news and could assume form posts, not all of them were quite as gentle as the others…. Then again she had caused one of the crooks to begin throwing up uncontrollably and loose all sensation but burning through his body for about ten minutes, the thought causing her to internally cringe on the thoughts of whoever was on the receiving end of her scythes powers, truth be told she didn't even understand them but when she fought, when she battled she just knew what to do instinctively. It just felt right.

Scanning the surroundings she spotted two figures, both males and unless two cosplayers had somehow scaled a huge building she'd bet money that those were the other zodiacs, laying low she let out a small sigh from her position, beginning to text the group chat once again, 'I'm here. But ain't no way in heck I'm just gonna stroll on out there.'- Scorpio.

CODY STONE
THEME Mess With the Bull, and You Get...

An enormous man in a white tiger fur cloak and a midnight blue obi strolled down the street, getting a few looks now and then, some lauding him for his dedication to the popular game. He ignored the majority of them, relenting a little to flirt with the cutest men in Astro-Z tee shirts and backpacks, taking a few selfies and exchanging phone numbers. Key didn't want to jump roof to roof. He was deathly afraid of heights and of falling. He needed his leaden feet planted on the earth where they belonged. After going into an alley, he checked for onlookers and found himself alone. He checked the silver Zodevice and determined that he was here, very close to the meeting place.

He took the time to text the group: "I'm here too. The roof, really?
Guess I'll be taking the elevator." - Taurus

Key stood patiently in the elevator alone. He hummed a little, looking at the ceiling lights, thinking of the game's enemy bosses that were modeled after the constellations of the universe. In the game, there were no other Zodiacs except his, and now or eventually he was going to meet the other eleven. Of course Scorpio held back. His mind replayed his onerous journey to the True Ending. DIE A HERO. Then after defeating the deadly Moon, a prompt from RE: PENT. Yes, no?

Doors opened, and he made his way up the box-spiraling stairwell that led to the roof. He muttered under his breath, debating if he should go through with this. They could gang up on him and push him to a serious fall. Then again, why would they?

He went out to the roof and met with the Zodiacs.

Aurora did enjoy her time with Astro-Z, since it was a real adventure to find the true ending, so she can win her brother's bet. 'I am sad that the game is truly over, but it was so worth it. I get to rub it in Steve's face that I beat the game.' thought Aurora, who did beat the game kind of recently.
After the game was over, Aurora wanted to play the game again, but a weird prompt appeared on her sceen instead. 'Ooooo, is this a special easter egg? I want to see it.' thought Aurora, as she pressed the yes button. However, that wasn't the case as a bright light enveloped her, and a strange small egg shaped device was just floating in front of her. 'Um...I don't know what is going on here, but I guess I have to touch it.' thought Aurora, who was extremely confused by what is happening here. She touched the device, and her life completely changed.


After a few days of having the zodevice, Aurora was kind of not sure about using it.
'...Should I use it, since I do love the Libra outfit, but I don't know what to do with it.' thought Aurora. She did want to be a hero, but Aurora has to deal with the gardening club and her ballet recitals. Aurora wasn't sure if leaving her house through the window at night is a good idea either, because she doesn't know if a criminal would use a ladder to get into her room.
'...I don't want to leave the window wide open for a criminal to come in, because I do live in a mansion. Um...I can go through the attic's window, because I am pretty sure that a criminal can't reach it.' thought Aurora.
She went to lower the attic's ladder when her family was asleep, because Aurora knew that nobody would see it until they wake up. Aurora climbed the attic's ladder, open the window, and pressed the button on her zodevice to change into Fiona the Libra. She then climbed to the top of her roof, and jumped to a different house. 'I am so going to be in trouble if anybody finds out about this, but I need to know what I can do in this form.' thought Aurora, as she continued to jump from building to building.

Aurora did land on one of the building's roof, and checked her zodevice to see what it looks like now. "...There are 6 zodiacs on the list? Damn, those other players are faster to complete the game than me besides Scorpio." said Aurora.
While she was looking at her zodevice, Aurora saw the group chat. "We have a group chat?" said Aurora.
Aurora then started to text in the group chat on her zodevice, so she can let the group know she was there. “...Hiya. I am Libra. I honestly don't know what is going on, since I decided to do this today, but I will meet you guys there.” - Libra.
Aurora went to the meeting point, so she can meet the other zodiacs by roof jumping.

------- Alex King -------​

Alex deftly dodged a swing from a studded baseball bat while parrying a blow from behind with his straight sword. He was currently surrounded by a group of thugs from one of the gangs that were operating in Viratella. Oh, he was also using the powers of Mac the Cancer, from Astro-Z. When he had first obtained his Zodevice, he had quickly noted that there were multiple other dots signifying other zodiacs. It seemed that he had been a little late to finish the game compared to most of the others. He didn't think that made him any worse than the other zodiacs, his plate had been full before he had added Astro-Z to his daily routine. Thinking to there, Alex thought back to that night when he had accepted the prompt at the end of the game and became a real world superhero.

The prompt flashed softly on the screen while Alex's mouse hovered over the options. He had been like this for twenty minutes now. Thinking. He really wanted to hit YES, to accept the responsibility and become a hero. But his thoughts kept clouding his mind. How was it even possible for a game to give you powers? If a company is this powerful then it has to have corrupt roots somewhere. If its power granted by a company then that company definitely has to have a method for controlling the powers? These were just a few of the many skeptical thoughts that flashed through Alex's mind while he hovered over his options. Growing frustrated with his indecision he squeezed his eyes shut tightly and randomly clicked. Fate would decide for him. He really wanted this but he had too many questions about it to just accept it for what it was. He couldn't just trust the game to do as it said. So when he reopened his eyes and saw the Zodevice sitting on his desk next to him, he was unsure if he would even us it. But then he thought about his neighborhood. He lived in the part of Viratella that nobody told you about. With its constant gang violence, the council had made sure to make it disappear so that it wouldn't deter tourism. It was hard to make money in this sector of the city and the few people that had gotten out had all been members of the gangs and had worked their way up the ladder. Could he really allow the youths of his neighborhood to be coerced into joining these gangs. It wasn't the only way to survive around here. With those thoughts driving him forward, Alex had picked up the Zodevice and went out that night. There was always work to be done in his neighborhood.

Thinking back to those first few days made him smile. After going out and helping those around the neighborhood on that first night, he learned how good it felt to help others. To give hope to those that thought there was only one path. He was still wary that the company behind the game had bigger plans for the zodiacs, but for now he would focus on saving people.

Bzzt. Bzzt. Alex looked at the Zodevice around his neck, it had been doing that buzzing thing ever since he had gotten it and it was starting to get annoying. He realized it was the other zodiacs trying to contact each other but could they really be trusted. He doubted it, human nature was too violent. Dodging another blow, he stabbed forward with his twisted sword, cutting into the man's calf. It would be hard to stand on that leg, especially with Mac's twisted blade. His thoughts proved to be true as the man crumpled to the ground, Well that just leaves these three now.

Bzzt. Bzzt. Bzzt. Bzzt. Bzzt. His Zodevice had gone off again, and again, and again. Things seemed to be pretty lively tonight. As he read over the messages he parried another blow from behind. They really seemed to think that attacking from behind would surprise him or something but when you can see everywhere, nothing really surprises you. The zodiacs all seemed to want to meet up tonight. Alex had no intention of meeting up with all the zodiacs at the same time, there were too many unknowns. How could he possible trust people he had never met. Beating a game didn't make you a good person. But he had to at least reply, maybe they would quiet down afterwards.

"Busy" - Cancer

With that out of the way he finally raised his head to look at his attackers, He really should have ended this minutes ago. Why had he allowed himself to be distracted tonight with thoughts of the past and then the zodevice. Looking at the broken and bleeding figures of two teenagers slouched against the alley wall he felt a pang of guilt. They needed him more than the zodiacs, but he had allowed this fight to drag on because of his distracted mind. A grim smile peaked out from under his purple hood. "I think its about time I ended this."

[Ariel]

Emelia walked side by side with a little girl who'd wandered a little far from home. The girl had run away from home, upset that, with the more hours her parents worked, the less time they were around to play with her. In tears, she'd escaped from her first bedroom window and headed for what she thought was the train station. Emelia, in her Leo form, stopped the girl who'd been sniffling when she'd gotten lost and asked her what she'd been doing out. The girl had admitted that she'd run away and Emelia did her best to cheer her up. Now, the two walked back to her home, the little girl holding fast to Emelia's hand.

Emelia had always thought growing up that she wished she'd had a brother or sister. With as busy as her own father was, it was a wonder he even had time for one kid, especially because her mother had left shortly after her birth. She didn't remember the divorce, but knew from stories that others had told her since her father did not speak of it, that the woman was vile and greedy. Thinking back on that now, Emelia was glad that the woman was gone and didn't have another child. The absence of a motherly figure for the first few years didn't bother her at first. In fact, she hardly noticed. It seemed her father, despite his shortcomings and loaded scheduled always did his best to shower his daughter in love and gifts, as if to make up for two people instead of one. It only became to dwell on her when she reached her early teenage years and would go visit her friends whose mothers were also so tender and gentle. Emelia had been envious, although she'd always kept that hidden, but more for the fact that she didn't understand. Not entirely. Her father hadn't dated since her mother, whether it was because he didn't have time, an interest, or he didn't want to invest love and time into something that could just crumple again, she was unsure.

Emelia was dragged from her thoughts when the girl beside her spoke. "Here! My home is here!" She looked up at Emelia with a toothy grin as they approached a little cottage style home in the suburbs. Emelia smiled back at her, although wistfully. Emelia squeezed the girl's hand before releasing her. As if by command, she ran to her front door and banged on it. Her parents opened the door and cried about, happy to see their daughter safe and sound after they'd found her room empty. When they asked where she'd been and she turned and pointed to where Emelia had been standing only to find the space empty, her parents chalked it up to a girl's wild imagination and the girl called out a farewell to her real life superhero.

Emelia, who had positioned herself gently on the roof peered at the Zodevice in her palm, looking over the recent messages. A message from Pisces. The second zodiac to beat the game. A smile crossed over her face as she prepared to respond but noticed that the group messages were exploding. Someone wanted to meet. Some agreed, which surprised her. One of them commented on the weather, which was a little peculiar to Emelia but she figured since she rarely saw messages from the girl that there was a reason behind it. Emelia shot a message to Pisces, telling him to meet up with the group and that she'd be there. ( Ganymede Apathy ) She never passed up an oppurtunity to meet up with the other zodiacs. Since the very first time another zodiac popped up on their little communication device, Emelia had devoted herself to not only helping the people of the city, but doing her best to lend a hand to the other zodiacs. As far as she was concerned, they were all connected, one way or another. They all beat the game and they were all given these incredible powers. And she was sure she'd seen almost all of them using them for good. The thought made her happy and she was awed by how they'd all given up their time, their safety and did things to help others in need. It only made her want to meet them and help them more, if she could. No matter how curt or untrusting some of them were, Emelia was certain they all had to be good people.

A most recent message popped up on her screen, one from Cancer. When she'd first seen the little crab icon pop up on the screen, she'd sent him a message like she did everyone else. And even if he hadn't wanted to meet her or really wanted to talk to her, she'd just assumed him to be the timid type. But the more she thought about it, the more it bothered her. Surely it couldn't be healthy to be so paranoid if that was what was stopping him. And if he had a shell, much like his zodiac part, then maybe it only really needed to be cracked. Plus, she wondered why he was so persistent on keeping away from everyone. Eventually, she'd sent him messages more often, asking him to meet, asking him what he had been up to, even just how he was, but he never seemed to want to be bother. But Emelia didn't really ever give up.

So her thumbs raced over the screen as she typed out a message to him, figuring it would be the same as always but that it was always worth a try. ( BreezeCatcher )

[C'mooon! It won't be so bad! Hey, if you don't want to meet with everyone else, how about meeting with me? I promise I'm not scary ! You can't keep hiding in that shell forever!]

Kypher Hunt
(Gemini)

A cool breeze wafted in, telling of the serene night air.

Of course, it was serene only in feeling; the metaphor did not quite hold up. Viratella was not often a particularly serene place. Frequent muggings, crime and random acts of villainy were a common practice to be swept under the government carpet of official reports and bureaucracy. Such a notorious place was not fit for budding young individuals to build a fulfilling life, or even survive in peace. Kypher was one such individual whose circumstances were slightly different to the rest.

Astro Z. A video game in all essence, yet one that had captured the populace by storm. Kypher remembered the day he'd first heard about it online in the news, comments on its popularity already reaching mainstream audiences. Sitting on the edge of his balcony railings, precariously on the precipice of falling a perilous height, Kypher leaned his head back and closed his eyes simply to enjoy the cool night air. In his mind, he saw himself sitting at his computer, unimpressed at the sight he saw on the screen. This was his challenge, a video game? Kypher had a somewhat masochistic streak when it came to challenging himself - something he chalked up to what he supposed was an elitist attitude of his. This game was infamous for its difficulty, apparently. He would be the judge of that, of course.

Less than three weeks was all it took. Kypher had an ideology: some were born with natural talent and skill, some worked hard to try and catch up and some did nothing at all. Kypher fell into the first category, he had natural talent and used it well. His keen eye and aptitude for intellectual thinking made an otherwise impossible game possible. Of course, no game he had ever played took him nearly a whole month to complete, which came as quite the surprise all in itself. However, the real surprise had been the "true" ending revealed when the game was complete. To "die a hero" was not a choice Kypher would have typically gone with, but in this case it seemed appropriate. And then the second prompt: 'RE: PENT?' He remembered, at the time he'd said, "What, am I supposed to ask for my sins to be forgiven?", but his cynicism had apparently been unfounded. Clicking yes, purely out of curiosity, had been the decider to change his fate for the rest of his existence.

The 'Zoedevice' had appeared before him. It was not long after that fateful day that he soon discovered the extraordinary powers that came with it. Online sources only had brief mentions of strange individuals with seemingly supernatural qualities, such as a man that could breathe fire. It appeared there were more, and Kypher had been one of the first. He recalled all that had happened between then and the present. His ability tests, his limits, staying out of sight from the masses. Unlike the other Zodiacs, Kypher had no interest in the fame and attention being a Zodiac brought. He had no interest in being a self-proclaimed 'superhero' in the first place. If anything, it was a common misconception people held: if you had power, you should use it to help others. It was the type of ideology to make him snort with his usual cynicism. If you had power, that apparently meant you then held the responsibility to serve those without. Kypher had spent his entire life being simply better than others: it was tiresome. Always being asked for help, being targeted by those wanting to remove you from your rule or simply wanting to test how strong you were.

Dick measuring was a waste of time and if you were too weak to do things by yourself, you should work on improving yourself to become stronger than spend your time asking for help. Kypher was not a sympathetic person, nor particularly empathetic either. Not many shared his values, but then again not many held the burden he did. Of course, until now. The appearance of further Zodiacs were worrying. The first, Leo, had been quick to try and get his attention, wanting to meet up for whatever reason. Of course, he hadn't even considered it. It was too dangerous, if they held powers like his, it could spell a very dire end for him if they turned out to be as secretly twisted as this city was.

But now, his device lit up again with yet another message. It was almost comical to see that the 'superheroes' had a simple groupchat as their means on communication. Not that he had a better idea to have them all talk, nor did he even have any desire for communication in the first place. He'd ignored all their messages indiscriminantely, as if he wasn't even there. Perhaps they would forget about him. That would be convenient, if anything. However, he just couldn't make it that easy for himself, it wasn't in him. A location where all the Zodiacs were supposed to meet had been sent. Should he go and introduce himself? Absolutely not. Observe the location from afar to find out exactly what he was dealing with? Sure, why not. The risk was that there might be a Zodiac capable of detecting him easily, but it wasn't like they could catch him if that turned out to be true. As far as he was concerned, Gemini was untouchable.

Allowing his head to flop back down to gaze broodingly down the street-lit road, Kypher sighed in resignation as he thumbed his silver device. An inconspicuous energy rushed up his body as it was transformed into the Astro Z character known as Gemini. The costume itself was somewhat posh and extravagant, but it didn't bother Kypher too much. He refrained from doing this too often in case someone caught him, but it wasn't like he was about to take a bus to get there. Standing on the railing edge, balancing with easy, Gemini stood there motionless for a second. Then there was another sudden breeze of night air and his moonlit silhouette disappeared almost in an instant. A searching glance would find it having reappeared upon the rooftop, before shifting away faster than the eye could follow, lost in the starry night air like the cool breeze that had preceded it.

The other Zodiacs in general

 

[animegirl20]

Mari was in her room when the alert from Leo came. She smiled brightly. She had been wanting to meet the other Zodiacs. The only one she knew was Gemini and well she knew him in real life to. Mari jumped up ready to go but realized she couldn't just walk out of the house. Her parents would wonder where she was off to. So she turned her bed room lights off stuffed her blankets to make it look like she was sleeping and went out the window. While walking down the street she remembered when she had first finished the game and became well a hero at least that was the only way she could see it. Of course she could also call herself a magical girl. She liked that better. Mari had been so excited that she had these new powers and skills though she really hadn't had a chance to use them yet. She had transformed once but that was just because she wanted to see what she looked like. It was weird when she transformed she looked like a older version of herself and well she was not disappointed at how she would one day turn out. After she was far enough away from the neighborhood she stopped and took out her deceive from her pocket. "Here we go." Mari tapped the screen and there was bright light. Soon enough it had disappeared and she was no Virgo.

Virgo looked around at the roof tops and hopped on one to get a better view she then disappeared into the night. When she got closer to the destination she stopped. She was trying to make out who was there. She knew the characters from their outfits so she could tell who was who. She could see Aries, Aquarius, and Scorpio....wait where was Leo? Wasn't she the one who set up this meaning. Virgo was kind of hoping to see Gemini but he was no where to be seen. Though that didn't really didn't surprise her. Mari was hiding in the shadows trying not to be seen. "Should I go?" She said to herself. Maybe she would wait until Leo arrived. Wait this was the right meeting place right? "Oh no i didn't go to the wrong meeting place did I?" Forgetting the fact she was suppose to be hidden she started looking around to make sure this was the right place then after a few mins she remembered she was suppose to be hiding and went back to in the shadows. Virgo decided she would wait to see who else arrived.

------- Alex King -------​

Alex felt the buzz from his Zodevice and looked to see that he had a new message from Leo. Even though he had only ever replied the one time tonight, he still read through all of the messages he had received. At first he was convinced that Leo was dangerous. She had requested to meet up shortly after he had recieved his Zodevice, which spooked him. Why was there so much desire to meet. Did she prey on the new zodiacs. Wild thoughts had flown through his mind at the time. But, the more she messaged him the more he saw through to her personality. She seemed to actually care, which was a foreign thought to Alex. They had never met so why would she care. But she did, and though the messages were an annoyance, they had started to become a welcome annoyance.

After reading through the new message, Alex couldn’t help but let out a soft chuckle. Crab puns, great. He realized that he couldn’t just ignore her forever, especially after tonight. He had already sent a message in the group chat. There was no more hiding. Well he’d still hide but the others knew he was active now. And, of all the zodics to meet, Leo had definitely earned the right.

“A crab without its shell is vulnerable.” He slowly typed out, thinking about each word and the decision he was about to make before attaching his coordinates and adding for good measure, “Come alone.”

He was still in the alley where he had struck down the gang members. He had hidden in the shadows and notified the authorities. Then he watched as the police showed up, then the ambulances. Then he had watched as the young boys had been carted away to the nearest hospital, along with one of the more critically injured gang members. Signs of the fight still littered the alley. Blood splatters had stained the walls. A split bat lay beside some trash. Ot wasn’t the best place for a first meeting but this was his neighborhood, this was what it was like. Slinking further into the shadows, Alex awaited for Leo’s arrival.

The door opened to the meeting place, a spacious rooftop with umbrellas and furniture, looking like an upscale leveled plaza with steps and steppes. Key the Taurus suddenly felt on edge, guard way the hell up, when he saw he was alone with the twinkling skyline and the haunting constellations above. Alone?

No, there were Aries and Aquarius, standing quite clearly, colorful and majestic. Just a little out of the way that he didn't notice at first, but approaching them, he wasn't sure how he could have missed them. It was a big roof. He waved uncertainly.

Then Libra showed up.

Arika had continued to wait for quite some time, body crouched close against the cold brick wall peering at the meeting place with an at first intrigued but soon bored expression, eyes closing as she let out a long sigh sliding back down against it, seems two or three had shown up but the air was tense in the situation, some giant guy in a tiger cloak and an orange haired girl thinking she was being stealthy at the side, obviously didn't learn that in hide n' seek if you can see them they can see you as well. Getting up she began to walk away, maybe this was a bad idea after all, she should've just stayed on the usual route, kept chasing down the same baddies without getting so caught up in other things like meeting up fellow video game addicts with nothing better to do than complete 'impossible' games.

It was then the unfamiliar yet now growing usual feeling of her zodevice buzzing resonated through her back pocket, raising one brow in a curious tilt she got it out and began to scan the screen, yeesh was the group chat busy tonight or what. Letting out another sigh she raised a palm to her pace and closed her eyes for a brief moment in a sort of slowed down facepalm, shaking her head she let it fall to her side, slipping the metallic egg shaped thing away before begging to jump onto the rooftops away, her strides catching upon the stone surface below with a certain elegance and grace like the moons beams up above as they shone into her almost gleaming white hair, like a shooting star passing by in the night, her scythes blade in one had reflecting lights and glimmering a flash to the unbeknownst crowd below as she came to a sudden stop.

Her eyes caught a speck of red in the distance, locking on she stared intently as it reappeared a moment latter yet again though this time down anger path, there was only one person that came to mind with such a colour that she could think of, and at that for a person to move so fast there was only one option of the zodiacs as well, Leo.

Dashing across quickly she let out a huff trying to catch up, damn was that other girl fast for her own good, her eyes barely keeping track as she continued to trail after, determined to find out at least a little about this supposed champion of the game, the first one to beat it and who seemed to be getting along oh so friendly with them all, she'd pretty much ignored the first few greeting texts until it became too much of a pain and she let out some reply about texting her one more time in the middle of the night and she'd hunt her down and through ramen cups at her head, no idea what impression it made though seemed to work rather well at getting them to stop for the most part, and honestly between the hot flushes from pregnancy and needing to go to the toilet far more often than usual already at six months she didn't need some strange phone like thing keeping her up as well.

A soft blush touched the girls cheeks at the thought of her pregnancy again, briefly glancing down at her stomach before back up on course, was it safe for her to be fighting like this? It wasn't like anyone had gotten even near to landing a strike on any part of her body, let alone her stomach but did this somehow affect the baby? What did the transformation do to them? Well, what more could it do than her already horrible diet and messed up sleep schedule? Her thoughts drifted a ad almost half missing a landing on her jump and stabilising with a small eep noise and a sigh she shook the thoughts from her mind and tried to instead stay on the task at hand.

[Blackrose7]

After a bunch of rooftop jumping, Aurora arrived at where she was supposed to be, and saw what she thinks was Taurus, Aquarius, and Aries there. “Hiya. I am Libra, and it is nice to meet you guys.” said Aurora, as she was hovering off the ground once she landed.
She didn't have any tension to attack anybody at the meeting point, because Aurora only wanted to meet them as they did beat Astro-Z just like she did. 'I can't wait to talk to the other zodiacs about Astro-Z, and speaking about that.' thought Aurora, as she did notice that they weren't here yet. “Um...shouldn’t the others be here by now?” said Aurora, as she was wondering about that. 'Is this a trap? It doesn't look like a trap, but I don't know.' thought Aurora, who doesn't know what is going on, because she is new around here.
Aurora then took out her zodevice when somebody sent a message, and saw what Taurus wrote on there. ‘Taurus was going to leave the meeting point? Boo.’ thought Aurora, since she just got here.
She started to text to the other zodiacs of where they are on her zodevice, because Aurora was wondering if they are doing something else here. "Hey. Who is at the meeting point, since me and some of the zodiacs are here." - Libra.
After Aurora did that, she was thinking about what to say to them now, because they just met each other. “What a lovely night it is today, and did you run into any criminals?” said Aurora, because she was curious.
‘...I don’t know what I am talking about here.’ thought Aurora, because she knows that she talks too much. She also wanted to hover around Taurus, because Aurora was being impatient about waiting for the other zodiacs to arrive here.

Nathaniel would look at both Taurus and Libra. He thought to himself 'Well then, other zodiacs are turning up!' "Yes, I guess this is a party of four now. And yeah, I did happen to run into a crook. I do my best to not maul them... simply poking them with the point of my dagger is enough to scare them into putting their guns, or whatever weapons they got, down, and simple zip ties, and I don't have to break any ribs... however with the stories I see on the news, I presume the rest of you don't use as... gentle methods as I do?"

Nathaniel would say that last sentence while his eye's glazed over, seeing the images of crooks spilling blood everywhere, shattered bones, even cases of paralysis inducing poisons. He shuddered. "A-anyways, I'm not here to judge how you guys deal with crooks. Wait, why are we even meeting up? What's the plan anyways? Just to have a tea party? Cuz if so, i might've just as well brought some pizza's."

Nathaniel would take a knee, and see what the other zodiacs had to say, while dialing up a pizza store, and getting a bunch of different pizza's. "Feel free to add any orders."

Kypher Hunt
(Gemini)

Spoiler: Outfit

​

Lying flat on a roof a good distance from the Zodiac meeting place, Kypher peered boredly through the pair of night vision binoculars he had brought with him. Originally, the plan was to simply observe the other Zodiacs to determine if they were going to be a threat. Inversely, what he saw was somewhat disappointing. Kypher couldn't hear what they were saying from the distance he was at, but he was pretty good a reading their lips. It looked like they were about to order pizza and take a dive in a nearby swimming pool. The news had shown him the aftermath of what these creatures were capable of, but this was just a joke; the self-proclaimed 'superheroes' of Viratella were acting like the first arrivals to a rooftop party. Ridiculous.

Kypher's expression didn't change as he continued to scan the area, but internally he was sneering at what he saw.He wasn't particularly fond of the idea of being a hero to begin with, but the other Zodiacs really didn't look like much- one of them was even pregnant! Even he had to raise his eyebrows in mild surprise at this latest development. A dangerous crime fighter capable of killing several men with ease carried a child? This night was getting stranger. It was as he swept his gaze to a neighbouring rooftop did Kypher's shock reach a new level. His sister, Mari, was stood thoughtlessly in the open in Zodiac form for all to see. 'Is she an idiot?' was the only thought that sprung to his mind.

Instantly, there was a sharp loud crack, almost as if lightning had struck nearby. Where Kypher had originally been was simply an empty space, but moments later he reappeared directly next Virgo as if he'd actually teleported. Of course, this was just a byproduct of his incredible speed. Gemini was the fastest of all the Zodiacs, not just by a bit, but by leaps and bounds. He had broken the sound barrier instantly, causing the thunderclap, and traversed several rooftops in a matter of seconds. The reason was soon made evident as he slowed down, so as to not simply tear through Virgo's body, and seemed to almost materialise next to her, crouched and overlooking the meeting place.

"Fool. You should be more careful, for all you know this is a trap designed to lull you into a false sense of security." Gemini gazed around, trying to gauge whether they had been seen or not. They would have definitely heard the booming sound he'd just made, but they'd be unable to tell who had caused. It was convenient being able to simply disappear at times like these, however Virgo was not so versatile, "We'll wait and see what happens. I cannot risk involving you or myself with these people unless I am certain it won't cause us trouble." He was a cautious man, so this reaction was to be expected of him. The strong did not remain strong by underestimating a potential foe. He had seen many fall to this time and time again in his life, not just as a Zodiac.

Virgo continued to watch the other Zodiacs she noticed a two ones appeared Taurus and Libra. From the looks and sound of things sounded like they were about to have a party. "A party! I want to go!" Then suddenly she heard a voice from behind her.

"Fool. You should be more careful, for all you know this is a trap designed to lull you into a false sense of security."

She jumped and turned around then realized it was Gemini. Her eyes widen and smiled. "Gemini! There you are I was wondering where you were." Virgo turned back around to look at the other Zodiacs. She really wanted to go over there now. But before she could voice her thoughts Gemini spoke again.

"We'll wait and see what happens. I cannot risk involving you or myself with these people unless I am certain it won't cause us trouble."

She puffed her cheeks. "Looks like their having fun to me." She said as she watched them. "Look one of them jumped into the pool!" She said as she pointed to Taurus who had stripped down to his boxers. Was this what those college parties were like? Looked liked a lot fun to her. She turned back around to look at Gemini. "Maybe they just want to meet everyone and be friends."

"It seems like this is a party, Aquarius, so I say we just hang out and get to know each other," said Aurora, who sit down on a chair that was also on the roof. "Want to talk about Astro-Z or something else, because we do have until morning to do this."
Aurora was just relaxing, for she knows that they aren't to harm her. 'This is great, and Taurus is having fun in the pool.' thought Aurora.
"Btw, I want pepperoni pizza please." said Aurora, as Aquarius did ask them about the pizza.
