They had left the dock and everyone was practically squeezing the life out of each other in fear of Sagittarius' terrible driving.
"Is there autopilot on this thing?" Sagittarius belted, Scorpio's grip on her hand growing tighter
"Good evening, I don't think I know you're name?" A robotic voice replied
"Sagittarius!" the girl screamed while trying to avoid dying and saving her friends
"Not a registered pilot, you must be new?"
"YEs I aM" Her voice swerving in and out of tones, unable to focus on anything
"Initiating autopilot, where would you like to go?"
"A different kingdom!" The girl yelled in the same worried tone, still trying to regain control of the ship while zipping away from the hell they were just in
"Initiating course to the castle of Heracles, Sagittarius"
"OKay perfect!" Everyone let out started hollering, grabbing onto anything as Sagittarius sent them into a full 360º spin
"Is everything okay?" the robotic voice asked while straightening them out and sending them on course
"Just dandy." Sagittarius replied shortly "What's your name?"
"Call me whatever you would like, Sagittarius, I am your new personal pod."
"Okay, hi there Tara!" Sagittarius said cheerily, everyone still panting from the flip.

After hours of flying and getting acquainted with the new system, thy had finally reached the Hercules kingdom. The instant their ship had pulled into their dock, they had guns and eyes fixated on them
"State your purpose or we shoot" one man yelled out from the crowd of soldiers waiting to fire bullets at one wrong movement
"Escape" Scorpio hollered back
"Please exit your vehicle to be put into the jail cells for interrogation."
This kingdom was much nicer than Cepheus', everything had a more modern pristine vibe, white walls, clean of any stain or scratch. In fact everything was very white or grey or some other sort of colour where a simple scrape of dirt would sully the entire wall. Everyone was in awe as they were escorted to the interrogation sector.

Aries was fidgeting in his seat, scared of the outcome of the interrogation.
"Hello, my name is Typhon" The man said, he was certainly bigger than your average man and not in the attractive sense. He was brooding and his mane like beard was flowing freely.
"Hello, my name is Aries Pozhar." He responded, his voice tensing
"I am only going to ask you a few questions," Typhon explained courteously "first question is why are you here?"
"We were in the Cepheus towers, and he had killed his wife and framed his daughter and we were sure that we were next so we escaped, we have powers too and undetected powers but more importantly, Cepheus is a murderer" Aries was rambling on
"We, in the Hercules region have been enemies of Cepheus for a while, and this comes to me as no surprise," Typhon reassured the disquieted boy "you are the Zodiacs?"
"How did you know?"
"Well, a long time ago we were told that we would be graced by the visit of a tense group of twelve, better known as the final generation of the Zodiacs," Typhon's gaze wandered "we are very happy to have you here, this is just protocol."
"So you trust us?" Aries ask, visibly less tense
"Yes, we worship the Zodiacs and the way that they rule," Typhon chuckled "I am positive that once you all harness your powers and conquer your obstacles, finding your planet will be a breeze"
"So, what will we do around here?" Aries asked, looking for a way to help
"You are 15?"
"Yes"
"School."
"So you mean to tell me, we are destined to rule a planet together and we have to go to school?"
"Well, in all fairness each schedule is tailored to each person specifically and I am positive that you will find many other friends in your classes"
"Is that all?"
"Yes, Aries" Typhon smiled "you and your friends are free to explore and unlike Cepheus, we will explain to you anything you desire to know"
"Will we meet Hercules?"
"More than likely"
"I guess I'll see you around?"
"Yes Aries, you will."
•••
Everyone had their interrogation, it went around the same but they knew that this was where they needed to be, at least for the time being. Typhon seemed trusting enough, they could confide in him like he could with them but most of them were just really excited to meet Hercules.
"Something is off," Virgo explained as they were stalking the halls trying to figure out how to find their way around "if Andromeda was immortal how did Cepheus kill her?"
"She's definitely dead," Capricorn scrutinized the situation
"I think we need to go to the library." Scorpio put his foot down, and so the library was their next stop
but the seemingly empty halls seemed to go on and on until the twelve heard a voice chirp behind them
"Hi! I'm Taryn, need any help?"
