The Court Of Nightmares

The hooded guy dragged Libra through the door while Ophiuchus dragged Capricorn through the door. Then they started tying them up.

"Wait! They have everyone?" asked Aries.

"Aww. Now what?" asked Virgo.

"Patience young virgin," said Ophiuchus.

"I'm the maiden!" said Virgo.

"That's not much better," said Aquarius. The then hooded guy took the scarf off of Hydra's mouth. Hydra spat on him.

"Ewww! You're disgusting!" said the hooded guy.

"I can't be worst than you," said Hydra.

"Can I get some answers yet?" asked Sagittarius.

"Answers for what?" asked the hooded guy.

"Why are you going after us?" asked Taurus.

"In the future, you guys are supposed to go crazy," replied the hooded guy.

Leo rolled his eyes. "Us? Go crazy? Anymore than we already have?"

"The future? So you're a fortune teller?" asked Pisces.

"I can sometimes have visions into the future. I can't control them though," said Ophiuchus.

"Not crazy like that. Your powers get stronger and stronger. You guys are supposed to be completely controlled by your powers until you're all gone insane and evil. The only thing you guys are going to want to do is use your powers, so together you guys go around destroying cities and killing people." The hooded guy looked down for a minute. "You guys took her away from me."

"I can't imagine actually killing people. That's crazy!" said Cancer.

"Would Moncer potentially kill people?" asked Libra. Cancer remained silent.

"I've always knew we were powerful but... woah!" said Scorpio.

"So those bracelets were supposed to prevent that from happening?" asked Leo.

Hydra nodded. "That is correct."

"You said you guys took her away from me. Did we kill someone close to you?" asked Capricorn.

"Who did we take from you?" asked Gemini.

Ten years in the future....

  (Hooded guy P.O.V)

"I can't believe this is happening. Everyone I know if dead!" cried my beautiful girlfriend. We were hiding in her basement. She had orange curly hair and blue eyes.

"I know. I want to stop them but I don't know how."

"To think that the zodiacs would become the worlds biggest threat! They seemed so innocent." She hugged me.

I ran my fingers through her hair. "It's alright. There's got to be someone who can stop them. I'd ask my sister for help but she's one of the Zodiac enthusiasts."

  The Zodiac enthusiasts were a group of people who, despite witnessing the power of the zodiacs, believed that the zodiacs weren't at fault. They believed there was a way to tame the zodiacs and bring back their true selves. Anyone with common sense knew that they were long gone.

She looked at me with pure terror in her eyes. "Do you think they'll ever be stopped? Or will they go on until we're all dead?"

"I'd ask Ophiuchus but they already killed her. Look, these days everyone's time is limited. My dear, I want to do this before the worst happens. Will you marry me?" I pulled a ring from my pocket.

"Of course! I'd be glad to!" Her face lit up. This is the first time I've seen her smile in weeks.

I smiled and slid the ring on her finger. "It would be difficult to host a ceremony without uninvited guests crashing the party."

She chuckled. "Yeah. Why can't Cepheus send them back up to the sky?" Then she slid my ring on my finger.

I looked at her. "Scorpio and Aries killed the king and Queen. Then they killed everyone else. There's barely any constellations left in the world. Now that the zodiacs are the rulers of the constellations, they won't let any of us be reborn with human bodies, so when we die, it's like we're actually dead."

She cringed. "So if we're killed, we'll just float around in the sky forever? I can't believe it. Why were the zodiacs given so much power in the first place?"

I thought for a second. "I don't know. Maybe the old man Cepheus thought he could control them. But looks like he couldn't."

"Wait. Is Hydra still alive? I remember a while ago we were trying to fight off Virgo, Aquarius as Libra but they were too powerful so we had to run away."

I sighed. "I have no idea. What about Lynx and Cygnus? Did they you hear from them?"

"Lynx was killed by Taurus and Capricorn. Cygnus was killed by Pisces and Gemini."

"I'm worried that they'll find us again. According to the news, Leo was spotted not too far from here."

She gasped. "But they can't find us again! I'm tired of running away from them. Why can't we get some peace? We just officially declared ourselves husband and wife. Can't we get a little time to celebrate?"

"In these times, no one gets to celebrate anything." I leaned in and kissed her. She kissed me back. We stayed there, kissing for a while until we heard something upstairs.

I pulled my wife close to me and we hid behind a couch. She looked at me with terrified eyes. I tried my best to keep calm, but once the zodiacs found you, you were as good as dead. Unless you were lucky enough to get away.

The we heard loud thumping down the stairs.

"Where are they?" purred Cancer.

"If I knew that, we wouldn't be looking," replied Sagittarius. Then we heard furniture moving around.

"Found them!" cheered Cancer. Then her and Sagittarius pushed the couch away.

"L-leave is alone!" stuttered my beautiful wife. Cancer smirked at us. Her hair had black streaks in it and her entire eye sockets glowed blue. Her clothes were torn up and she had blood smeared on her face. Sagittarius's eye sockets glowed red and his muscles were huge. All of the zodiacs carved their teeth so that were were pointy (Leo's idea). These weren't the zodiacs I remember.

"Should we kill them~" purred Cancer.

"Let's bring them back to the castle. Scorpio and Aries ordered us to let them have the next kills," said Sagittarius. Then they grabbed us and marched away.

***

We were standing outside when Cancer and Sagittarius looked up at the sky.

"We found them!" cheered Sagittarius. All of the sudden stardust floated around us. When I dared to open my eyes we were in an unfamiliar room.

The floor was made of unbreakable glass. All I could see down there was stars. The walls were white with horrifying paintings made out of blood. The ceiling was black and painted to look like the sky. Across from me, stood twelve thrones made out of gemstones. Most of the nightmares (zodiacs) stood in the room.

"Where is this?" asked my beautiful wife.

A boy with white glowing eyes and long purple hair approached us. "You guys are in the throne room of the constellation castle. This is a special castle that is invisible to human eyes. It is currently floating in space. The only way to get here is to be summoned by one of the twelve rulers. This castle formerly belonged to-"

"Aquarius, they don't care!" said a girl with long blond hair and glowing green eyes behind her sunglasses. She had random bits of green dyed in her hair.

"Excuse me, Taurus! As the self proclaimed royal informer it's my job!"

"What's taking Leo and Pisces so long? They've been gone forever!" said Scorpio, who was sitting on her throne. Scorpio had purple streaks going through her hair and a few tattoos on her arms.

"They must have found a bunch of innocents  to kill," said Capricorn. Capricorn wore glasses and she wore a blue scarf around her neck. Unlike the others, her clothes were clean and not full of blood. Capricorn had blue streaks in her hair.

"OHHHHH what a pretty girl. Aww you're so pretty when you cry! Shhhh! I'll put you out of your misery soon enough." I turned to see Aries stroking my wife's hair. Aries had a scar on her face, she had tattoo sleeves and the ends of her curly hair were silver.

"GET AWAY FROM ME!" cried my wife.

Then another monster skipped over to us.

"Are these guys the ones we've been looking for?" He had glowing green eyes and red in his hair. He grinned at us to show off his pointy teeth.

"Yes, Virgo. All we need now is Hydra, Phoenix and Draco," replied Capricorn.

"Is Draco the one that was helping those two escape last week?" asked Aries while pointing at us.

"Yes, she's the only that told them not to kill us because she's a Zodiac enthusiast, but she got away and we can't find her!" said Taurus.

A girl with glowing white eyes skipped over to us. Gemini's hair was dyed red on the ends and she was full of cuts and bruises. "I haven't seen Phoenix in weeks so let's assume she's dead."

"Okay. So- can someone get Libra to stop painting for a second? We have visitors," said Scorpio. I looked over to see Libra painting on the white walls with blood. Libra's body was covered in tattoos but his hair was natural.

"Hey Libby! Whatcha painting this time?" asked Virgo.

"I'm painting that time that Capricorn elegantly executed our latest victim," replied Libra.

Aquarius clapped his hands together in delight. "Such a beautiful painting for such a lovely moment!"

"Lovely? How is murder lovely?" I asked. I felt a kick in my side.

"Did I give you permission to speak?" asked Cancer. I shook my head. "Then keep quiet."

All of the sudden a bunch of stardust swirled around the room. Leo and Pisces appeared. They held Hydra who was kneeling on the floor, like us. Leo had red in the ends of his hair and he had a few tattoos. Pisces' hair was dyed white on the ends and he had a few bruises. Both of their clothes were stained with fresh blood.

"Sorry we took so long! We found a few people hiding in a school," replied Leo.

"You should of seen their faces when we found them. It was amazing how terrified they were!" said Pisces.

"Hey, guys! How about you join me on the throne and we'll get started!" said Scorpio. Stardust swirled around out legs, keeping us, the prisoners, from escaping. The other zodiacs ran to the front of the room and sat on their thrones. Then a servant hustled in the room and handed everyone their crowns.

"Let's start with her!" said Virgo while pointing at my innocent wife.

"Start with me! Leave her alone!" I got hit with a blast of water.

"Do not speak unless spoken to!" barked Pisces.

"Okay. Who wants to kill her?" asked Taurus. Everyone raised their hands.

"I didn't get to kill anyone for a long time!" pouted Aries.

"Me either!" said Leo.

"Leo, you helped Aquarius kill Antlia, remember?" asked Libra.

"Oh yeah!"

"Alright Aries, you're up," said Capricorn. Aries excitedly jumped off her throne and walked forward. Then she created a blast of fire and shot it at my wife. The last thing I heard was her heartbreaking scream.

I felt my whole world shatter. Just a moment ago, me and my wife were together. Not even half an hour ago, I held her in my arms. Now, I couldn't even look at her burnt body that once contained the woman that I love. I will get my revenge on the zodiacs! I swear! I'll avenge her!

Aries happily skipped back to her throne, unaware that she killed one of the only people that I had left.

"Now, who wants to kill Hydra?" asked Pisces. Scorpio hopped off her throne and approached us. She smiled and pulled out a sword.

"It's too late," smirked Hydra.

"What is?" asked Scorpio.

"You're too late. You may kill me here but the events of the past will be rewritten," said Hydra.

"Does anyone understand what she's talking about?" asked Sagittarius.

"You'll see soon enough." Then Hydra pulled a tiny remote out of her pocket. "I've been working on this for a while." Then she pressed a button and reached over to me. I grabbed her hand. Scorpio swung her sword, but before she could hit, we both disappeared.

***

Back to present time...

"I... I can't believe it. That's a terrible future. So Ophiuchus saw all this in a vision?" asked Cancer.

"Not exactly," replied the hooded guy.

"Then how?" asked Virgo.

"My and the hooded guy, we're time travellers," said Hydra. "That future that he was explaining, it actually happened. We went back in time to prevent you guys from becoming the monsters that you're supposed to become. That's why I gave you the bracelets. That idiot however, has a different plan in mind!"

"Then... who are you?" asked Capricorn.

"Are you the horrible Cetus that everyone keeps mentioning?" asked Gemini.

The hooded guy smirked. "Where did you hear about Cetus?"

"Everyone keeps mentioning him," replied Pisces.

"No. I am not Cetus."

"Then what's your name?" asked Libra.

The hooded guy pulled down his hood to reveal his face. He had turquoise blue hair and blue eyes. "My name is Hydrus, and I'm Hydra's twin brother."
