[A/N: I wrote this book in the middle of 7th grade and the beginning of 8th grade. Meaning I was stupid and didn't add chapters to it in my docs like the idiot I am so this will be messy ;-; ]
The Zodiacs looked at the black van that had just stopped in the middle of the forest, it was purely black and the early sun reflection on the dark tinted windows shone brightly. It was surrounded by big bulky trucks. Everybody's breath had faintly slowed and had slightly flowed in the air like mist in a mysterious forest, just like the forest they were hiding in.
The Zodiacs were hidden up in a Tree watching as a man with pure white hair and lime green tips stepped out of the van. He was wearing a fancy white suit with a black tie and shoes and had stepped out of the black van. He looked around and he smiled and spread his arms out wide and in the air, "Come on out Zodiacs! I know you're around here somewhere, Don't worry I wont hurt you as long as you don't make this a challenge..." The stranger said, slowly lifting his head in the air.
The Zodiacs looked at each other, each one of their different colored eyes glowed dimmley in the shadows of the redwood tree. Scorpio looked at Aquarius and nodded. Aquarius jumped down from the tree and stopped the impact by grabbing a branch at the right moment, a huge gust of air had blown the mans lime green hair and blowing leaves and feathers from Aquarius's wings everywhere, Aquarius was the same height as the man, As soon as she landed the men in black suits with sunglasses on, had pointed an assortment of different guns at her, "Guns down men, They won't hurt us.." The man said, the men around him lowered the guns nervously and slowly, "Who are you and what do you want?" Aquarius had said sternly, "I am Ollie, and you are..?" Ollie had said, "Why do you want to know, Ollie?" Aquarius had asked.
"Because I am looking for a certain group of 12 people, have you seen a group of them?" Ollie asked, smiling as the sun reflected one of his eyes and his smile, it shocked Aquarius, not enough for her to show through facial expressions, "No, I have not, now if I were you, you should leave, The animals in this forest don't like company..." Aquarius had said smiling back, A small gust of wind blew quietly, there was silence, Aquarius's Navy blue and silver hair blew quietly in the wind. "FIRE!" Ollie yelled quickly, the men around him had shot at Aquarius quickly, they shot enough holes in her wing for her to lose her capability of flying. Aquarius, as soon as he yelled 'fire', had dodged enough bullets for her to swiftly jump into the air onto a branch using her strong aquiline legs, "You're timing is a tad off..." Aquarius had shouted tauntingly in her iconic British accent. Ollie had then clenched his fists and jaw Ollie then started yelling random words in anger, Aquarius couldn't tell if it was fake or if it was real, "COME DOWN HERE YOU COWARDS I WILL TAKE YOU ALL ON!" Ollie had finally yelled, The Zodiacs were shocked by his sudden outburst. "Geez, his anger issues are almost as bad as Aires'..." Scorpio whispered jokingly, "What?!" Aries whispered loudly and angrily."Should we go down? Or..." Libra whispered hesitantly, "I am not sure that he is like this, I don't think we should even go near him..." Aquarius answered, Scorpio thought for a moment of what they should do, this lunatic of a 'Scientist' is driving them nuts. "Ok so here is the plan..." Scorpio whispered to everyone, Scorpio explained the very risky plan: Everyone except Libra,Virgo, and Aquarius, would hop down from the tree and try to take down Ollie or at least distract him enough to the point where they all can get away from him and the strange agents that where protecting him, "I know it is risky, especially when he is acting like a lunatic, but it is the only way that I can think of, we can't just sit here and wait for them to leave, that will take forever, and who knows when he will leave, heck they might even just climb the tree and get us!" Scorpio whispered a bit loudly, The others were a bit skeptical at first, but then they all finally came to an agreement that they would have to do Scorpio's plan.
The 9 hopped down from the tree quickly without getting injured, Ollie had calmed down a bit, when he saw the 9 he wasn't shocked, Ollie tightened his tie and looked them all in the eye, he smiled a bit, which shocked Scorpio a bit, Ollies bright green eyes glimmered in the early sunlight, "What do you want from us, Ollie?" Aries asked sternly, "Listen, If you make this easy we won't have to hurt you as much as we would like too..." Ollie said smiling, "What do you mean by that?" Capricorn said confused, "Just leave us alone, we don't want anything to do with you and your lunatic acts..." Taurus said calmly, "You're also outnumbered..." Aries added, "No..." Ollie said quietly, "YOU'RE Outnumbered!" Ollie said, The Agents quickly raised their guns, "YOU SNEAKY LITTLE-" Aries yelled, Both Scorpio and Aries jumped at Ollie, but as soon as they did, Ollie backed up and strange collars were placed on Aries and Scorpios Neck, "What the-" Aries said getting cut off as an extremely painful shock sent them both down onto their hands and knees, screaming and crying with pain,They both collapsed after the pain stopped, blood slowly trickling out of the corners of their mouth. Everyone else was shocked, frozen with fear. Ollie smiled, "The same thing will happen to you if you refuse to listen..." Ollie said smiling.
The others resisted at first but then they quickly listened to Ollie. If Scorpio and Aries were shot down that quickly, they might have been killed if it happened to any of the others. They were put in the large black trucks,with chains around their wrists, ankles, and even gave them muzzles. While they were being taken to wherever Ollie had his lab. Virgo was being held back by Libra and Aquarius, "NO!" Virgo yelled crying, she finally stopped trying to go after the others and fell to her knees with tears streaming down her face. Libra also fell to her knees, Aquarius leaned against the base of the tree from the branch they were standing on, slowly sliding down and curled up, hugging her knees to her face. "What do we do?" Libra asked, "Well..." Aquarius said, "Scorpio explained that she didn't want us to go after them and try to help them if they were in trouble, but she never said we couldn't go after them if they got captured, Ollie obviously didn't notice that there were 3 missing..." Aquarius said calmly, "So why don't we follow them?" Aquarius added again, standing up and smiling, trying to spark hope in the other 2 worried signs.
Libra smiled, Virgo did too, But something felt off, Ollie didn't even check if there were 12 of them. He seemed either to do it purposely or he was too eager to notice, either way it made Aquarius uneasy.
