Aquarius, Gemini and Leo were looking around the maze. All they did so far was kill a bunch of spiders. Weirdly, there wasn't any animatronics or weird monsters in sight.

Gemini sighed. "It's worrying me how we didn't find any monsters yet."

Leo pointed up ahead. "Hey, what's that?"

Gemini and Aquarius turned to see what Leo was pointing at. It was a normal wooden door, unlike the golden, metal doors everywhere else.

Aquarius walked up to it and opened it. "Woah. Guys, I think you want to see this."

Gemini and Leo ran forward. They stood behind Aquarius and looked at what was on the other side of the door. The maze continued, except the floor, ceiling and walls were pitch black. A few roars and stomps could be heard from within.

Gemini tightened her grip on Aquarius' sword. "It looks kinda creepy. And we can't even see." Then the sword started glowing. The mace and Leo's claws also glowed in the dark. Their weapons glowed bright enough to light the path ahead of them.

Leo walked through the door. "We don't have a choice."

"Wait, what's this on the back of the door?" asked Aquarius. Then he picked up a map. The map was labeled Inner Maze. The inner maze was a maze except the map showed where the coloured rooms were. There were some other labeled rooms like Library, Kitchen, Infirmary, Living room, etc. There was one room that was scratched out but Aquarius could make out a few letters, .......i...us... r...m.

Gemini took the map. "By the look of this, we're in some kind of combination of a maze and a one story house."

Leo looked at the map over Gemini's shoulder. "What is this place? It doesn't look like that part of the maze was build just for us. It seems the inner maze served some purpose before we got here."

Aquarius walked forward in the maze. "Let's just find a room for now. I'm tired."

Gemini folded the map and put it in her pocket. "For once I agree with Aquarius."

Leo was walking with one hand on the wall until he felt something slimy. He shrieked and jumped back. Aquarius walked over to where Leo stood. The mace glowed with enough light for them to see clearly what was in front of them. Gemini screamed. It was a tall, muscular body that was covered in cuts and bruises. There was blood everywhere. The head looked like it was beat to death. The body was recognizable by It's blond hair and the knives in its hand.

Leo's eyes widened. "Wait... what's going on? That's Libra's body."

"But, we saw him walking around. Like with the collar and stuff. And he wasn't killed in this part of the maze!" said Gemini, trying not to freak out.

Aquarius was frozen.

"Aqua?" asked Gemini.

Aquarius kneeled on the ground and inspected the body. "He was brutally beaten up before he died. This happened to him, because he protected me. That was supposed to happen to me instead. I... I don't feel well." Then Aquarius turned around and started vomiting.

"There, there," said Leo while patting his back. Then the body dissappeared followed by an ehehehehehehehehehe that echoed through the walls.

Gemini looked in fear at the spot that was covered in blood a few seconds ago. "It dissappeared. How? Leo felt the blood so it couldn't have been an illusion!"

Leo bit his lip. "Hydrus has advanced tachnology. It wouldn't be odd for him to be able to create illusions that look and feel real."

Aquarius whimpered. "Libby."

"Now you see why you have to keep fighting?" asked Gemini. "If you die, that happened for nothing. Libra wanted to protect you, do you want his sacrifice to be for nothing?"

"I... I guess not. Whatever." Aquarius stood up and continued walking with the others. They were unaware of the shadow that followed behind them.

Cancer and Pisces pushed Scorpio (who was still passed out in the water bubble) around the inner maze.

Pisces looked around. "This looks like a haunted house more than anything."

Cancer looked at the map. "The infirmary is just up ahead. Maybe we could rest there for a while."

"I don't trust any of the rooms in here. There could be monster hiding in the infirmary."

"Then we kill them."

"It's not that easy Cancer, these monsters are probably a lot stronger."

"We got a lot stronger too."

"I guess you're right. I hate how we can't see without our glowing weapons."

"Aha! Infirmary!" Then Cancer pushed the infirmary doors open. The room was well lit. There were five beds on one side of the room with a bunch of equipment and shelves on the other size. There was an uneasy silence in the room. Cancer and Pisces rolled Scorpio over to one of the beds and lifted her up. As soon as Scorpio hit the bed, a screen next to the bed lit up.

"Would you like to run a diagnosis on the patient?" Asked the screen. A red NO and a green YES appeared on the screen.

"Uhh... what should we do Cancer?"

"We don't know what's wrong with her so we might as well." Then Cancer pressed the YES button.

"You selected YES. Warning, everyone except for the patient has to step away from the bed. If you do not, you are putting yourself at risk."

Cancer and Pisces stepped away from the bed. Then a black curtain lowered from the ceiling and wrapped around Scorpio. The machines made weird noises.

"Why would Hydrus build us an infirmary? Doesn't he want us to die?" asked Pisces.

Cancer bit her lip. "I also think that's pretty odd. There's more to this damn maze than what we've been told."

"Diagnosis complete. Problem detected. Would you like to know what is wrong with the patient?"

Pisces rolled his eyes. "No, we totally did not bring her here to not know what's wrong."

"You selected NO. Are you sure?"

"NO!" screamed Cancer. "Stupid voice activated machine.

"Diagnosis complete. Problem detected. Would you like to know what is wrong with the patient?"

"YES!" screamed Pisces and Cancer at the same time. Then the screen displayed an image of a spider.

"This patient was bit by a very dangerous creature. This type of insect is called the Venom Mouthed spider. The Venom Mouthed spider is-"

"Just tell us the side effects!" demanded Moncer.

"Side effects may include: Headache, stiff joints, nausea, rashes, paralysis, death and a comatose state. This patient was affected by the comatose state. The patient is unable to wake up and they will remain in a comatose state unless the side effect fades. Chance of patient recovering from this side effect: 37%."

"Wait! So there's a sixty three percent chance she'll die?" asked Pisces.

"That is correct. Anymore questions?"

"NO! WE WANT OUR FRIEND BACK, NOT TO ASK DUMB QUESTIONS. TAKE THIS YOU PIECE OF SHIT!" Then Moncer punched the screen. Glass shattered everywhere. Moncer' hand dripped blood from where the glass cut her.

"I-I'll go get some bandages, okay?" Then Pisces ran to the other side of the room and looked through the shelves. "Where is everything?"

A screen on a shelf lit up. "What kind of injury needs to be treated?"

"Uh... she cut her hand. From shattered glass."

"Antibacterial ointment is in the blue shelf, second row while the bandage kits are on the red shelf, bottom row. Anything else?"

"Nope. Thanks!" Then Pisces opened the blue shelf and grabbed some ointment. Then he grabbed the bandages and ran back over to Moncer who hissed in pain. The Pisces spread the ointment over Moncer's hand. Moncer hissed. "Yeah it's going to sting. Maybe Moncer should think twice next time before she takes over Cancer's body and decides to punch a screen."

"Maybe Pisces should realize that Moncer has no control over when she takes over," said Moncer."

"Right. Sorry."

"It's fine."

"Nighttime starts in ten minutes."

Pisces walked over to the door and locked it. "I say we should just stay in here for the night, with Scorpio."

Moncer nodded. "I agree."

The were unaware of what else hid in the room, watching them.

"WOOOOOO I'M A GHOOOOOST." Virgo floated around the black walls of the maze with Sagittarius and Aries, who were also ghosts.

Ophiuchus believed that Libra, Capricorn and Taurus were the most useful so she continued to control them. She believed that Virgo, Sagittarius and Aries were useless since they constantly fooled around and snuck into the control room.

Ophiuchus re-killed their simulation bodies and adjusted the collars to make the collars take over full control of their bodies. Since their bodies were fully controlled by the collars, Virgo, Sagittarius and Aries couldn't re-enter their bodies so now they floated around as ghosts.

That was probably really confusing so I'll try to sum it up. After being killed, the collars prevented Aries, Virgo and Sagittarius from entering their simulation bodies, so now they walk around as ghosts. Libra, Taurus and Capricorn are still trapped inside their simulation bodies when they wake up.

"I love how I can do this." Then Aries floated up in the air.

"Wait. Do we still have powers?" asked Sagittarius. Then he shot a blast of purple fire of a wall. "Sweet! I still have my fire but it's like ghost fire."

Virgo crossed his arms. "Why did stupid Ophiuchus kill us anyway? That's a little harsh."

"Who cares. Hey, can I walk through walls now?" Then Sagittarius walked through a wall.

Aries smiled. "I kind of like being a ghost. At least now we have control of our bodies again AND we got our memories back."

"Wait, does this mean I can see Cancer again?" asked Sagittarius.

Virgo rolled his eyes. "You're a ghost. She won't be able to see you, dumbass."

"Aww. So we can't help them win the game? This sucks!" pouted Aries.

Then a monster walked forward. It was dressed in a black cloak and only two red eyes poked out of the hood. It walked past them.

Virgo sighed in relief. "At least those monsters can't see us. The ones in this part of the maze are creepy."

***

Libra, Taurus and Capricorn were in a jungle.

"Where did Virgo, Aries and Sagittarius go? I haven't seen them in days!" announced Capricorn.

Libra looked around. "Normally i'd guess that they're hiding, but I'm pretty sure the three of us are the only ones here."

"Did they break their collars?" wondered Taurus.

Capricorn nodded. "They must have. Now they're probably helping the others escape. Good for them."

Taurus smiled. "If they broke their collars, then maybe we can break ours too!"

"IF that's what happened," added Libra.

"What do you mean?" asked Capricorn.

"We don't know for sure that they broke their collars. I've been here the longest, if there's a way to break a collar, I would have found it by now."

"But didn't Cancer break hers?" asked Taurus.

"That's our theory as to why she's not here anymore. We don't know that for sure," replied Capricorn. "Also Cancer was controlled by the collar, but maybe Moncer wasn't."

"OH! So Moncer probably broke the collar," said Taurus.

"Wait. Was Cancer with you in the maze before you were killed?" asked Libra.

"I can't remember. I can't remember the maze at all!" admitted Taurus.

Capricorn sighed. "Anyway, the four of them have to be somewhere. It's not like we can just turn into ghosts and disappear."
