Chapter 5 - Training
Cancer POV
I woke up, and rubbed my eyes. The birds chirped outside, and the sun was shining. I yawned, and smiled. It was going to be a beautiful day!
I checked my phone, and realized that I overslept. Oh, well I was a heavy sleeper. That's when I saw that all my notifications were from... Aries. Why did she spam me? I had 2 missed calls and 21 voice mails. Ugh. I clicked on the latest voicemail:
"WHERE THE FXXXX ARE YOU?! YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE HERE 10 MINUTES AGO. YOUR GROUP ALREADY STARTED MINUTES AGO SO GET YOUR STUPID *SS HERE AND..."
"... mute." I smiled. "Bye bye, Aries!"
I then realized that I was alone. And then I realized what those stupid voicemails were for.
"Holy s***, Aries was right!" I ran outside and realized that she left the note outside my door.
Aries scrawled a note with red marker above the schedule. "We've leaving in five so wake up quickly!" I rolled my eyes. "How helpful."
The only part I could read was the schedule:
We will be spitting into groups today for our training! Here is schedule:
8am - 9am =
Group 1: Aries, Mars, Pluto, Scorpio = Train in room 201
Group 2: Chiron, Libra, Taurus, Venus = Train in room 203
Group 3: Gemini, Leo, Mercury, Sun = Train in room 202
Group 4: Cancer, Capricorn, Moon, Saturn = Rest in room 102*
Group 5: Ceres, Neptune, Pisces, Virgo = Rest in room 104*
Group 6: Aquarius, Jupiter, Sagittarius, Uranus = Rest in room 105*
*When I mean rest, I mean strategize an idea to beat Ophiuchus. Remember, no idea is too dumb, but make sure it is possible. Write it down, and we'll share ideas at the end of the day. You can also train if you want.
9am - 10am = Groups 1 and 4 switch, Groups 2 and 5 switch, Groups 3 and 6 switch (including rooms).
10am - 12am = Switch again
12am - 2pm = Have lunch, Groups 1, 2 and 3 combine ideas, Groups 4-6 do the same.
2pm - 3pm = Switch from where you were last time
3pm - 4pm = Switch again, if we want to beat Ophiuchus this time, especially with the unspeakable weapon, we have to switch our mind to BATTLE MODE (don't show this part to Leo and Gemini or they will start cracking up and do some weird robot scenario, I am begging you.)
Same routine until 6pm dinner.
After 6pm, we all all meet up, and discuss our plan. Our day will end at 8pm. You are free to do whatever you want after 8pm.
The address of the place is behind this note. Please meet us there by 7:15, and ensure you have a good breakfast, paper, a pen, and a spare change of clothes.
See you soon,
Aries
Yay! I was training with Moon, Capricorn and Saturn. I love my group. This might be a way for Cap and I to get closer. He might even ask me out! Ugh, stop fantasizing and pull yourself together, woman! I can't believe I am saying this... but thanks Aries.
When reality came wafting back to me, I grabbed the note and ran out with a bag. I followed the map on my phone, and when I reached there, I was panting very hardly. I drank a lot of water, and ran inside.
When I reached Room 102, my friends were already there chatting to each other. They looked at me weirdly.
"What?" I asked.
"Uh, you're still in your pajamas." Capricorn blushed.
"Don't worry, I brought many changes of spare clothes which I packed last night. I didn't have time to change."
Moon gave me a big hug. "You have plenty of time to change."
"But... aren't we meant to be training?" I asked.
"Actually no. The schedule says that we get to rest!" Moon replied with a cheerful tone.
"Hey Cancer, good to see you here." Saturn entered from behind. I thought Saturn was really cool so I gave an ok sign with my hand. Which was very uncool.
"Okay, for the plan!" Capricorn held the paper in his left hand and tapped it with the pen in his right hand. Oh my god he looks so cute...
"I actually thought of the perfect idea to beat Ophiuchus! We can just keep running around him and then when he is focusing on one of us, one person grabs the disc and destroy it." Moon suggested.
"That's too simple. Plus he could just use that weapon and zap all of us!" I said.
"Well do you have any other plans?" Asked Moon.
"No!" We all confirmed.
"Well, I know we are not meant to do this, but can we spend the rest of our time just chatting to each other?" Capricorn asked.
"Sounds good to me, since we already used up 3/4 of our time!" Saturn cheered.
"Wait what? But I just got here!" I moaned.
"Never mind, when you were sleeping, we didn't do fun stuff!" Moon assured me.
"I guess," I replied.
We played games and talked about funny memories, since we were all bored. Did Aries' schedule have to be so boring? I didn't think that we needed that much training, but I did know that if we didn't train hard, we would lose.
Leo POV
When I first saw the schedule Aries made, I was kinda excited to be training with Gemini and Sun (okay, I admit, very excited)! I mean Mercury is cool too but I don't see him as one of my best friends. Sun told me he had a crush on Mercury once, so I have to respect Mercury if I was going to be Sun's best man at his wedding. Not like anything happened between them yet.
That being said, I did 20 push-ups as a warmup before we started training (Gemini did 34 before he announced that he was about to pass out (he didn't)). First we tested our strength. So we did fighting battle. We decided to go with 'Sun vs Mercury' and 'Leo vs Gemini'.
First, Mercury started running away, but Sun grabbed him and dropped him to the ground. He counted to 10 and stood up. 'Wow,' I thought, 'that was an easy win'.
Next I went against Gemini. Gemini tried to grab me but then I grabbed his arms and put it behind his back. I held it there then twisted it then he fell to the ground. I held his hands on top of him. I thought I was going to win.
"1, 2, 3..."
I suddenly looked at his cute and innocent face then realised that I had a huge crush on Gemini.
Wait, what did I just say?
I loosened my grip without realising then he struggled free then he went on top of me. I tried to break out but he already counted to ten.
"Gemini for the win!" Gemini cheered. He looked kinda cute when he celebrated. I laughed to myself.
'How did I not see that coming?' I thought. Well never mind. Next we tested our aim. We had to use our powers to hit the middle of the target.
Sun blazed a hot fire out of his hands but he hit the sides. Gemini floated up and tried to hit the middle but he ended up hitting everything but there. Mercury tried to shoot asteroids, but hit Gemini instead and he passed out, so it was all up to me.
"I think Libra rigged this system." Mercury said.
"What?" Sun asked, perplexed.
"I mean, she did make these obstacles... so she might have rigged it."
"Nah. Leo, your turn."
I felt like this whole world depended on me, and if I blew it, the whole world would collapse and all of us would be sucked into the vortex below the Zodiac Kingdom. Nah, that wouldn't actually happen.
*dramatic music plays in my head*
I shot out my fire... and it hit the wall. Turns out all our aiming sucks like hell.
"HOLY SH-" Sun suddenly shouted. That's when I noticed that a small fire emerged. The fire probably came from my missed hit.
"I'm getting the fire extinguisher." Mercury ran out, opening the door, which made the fire even bigger.
Gemini woke up. "What happened? What the?"
Aries' head emerged from the door. "Do you guys smell burning? Oh my f*cking god someone call the police!"
Mercury ran inside with the fire extinguisher and sprayed the whole room. The fire eventually died down.
"Guys, please control your fire powers... and don't burn this place down. This place isn't fireproof." Aries walked away, and everyone else followed her back.
Shoot, I had a feeling that today was going to be a long day...
