Agents Of Zodiac

CHAPTER 6

Sagittarius,Leo and Aries were on the move again. Leo had a ship(he was a literal trillionaire!!!) which had been docked at some harbour or the other. Aries did not remember. Sagittarius was probably talking about it's history and then going to relate it to every book she had ever read. Never mind. If he actually did not listen to her then he wouldn't start an argument with her. She went on till Leo said,"Just bore the Seven Deadly Sins with this. They will literally die of boredom."

"Did you see that post on Tumblr, Leo?"

"How about no, Sagittarius?"

"Oh come on. Then stop quoting memes."

Leo heaved a sigh,"You know you look pretty cute when you get all lovey dovey about a particular thing but Sagittarius,I will fall asleep right now."

"So will I." Aries

Sagittarius huffed,"Oh really as if I don't feel like going to sleep when you two begin on politics."

Well suffice to say this was a pretty long argument and the reader would fall asleep reading it so let's check out Pisces and co.

They had stopped debating and were watching Avengers 1. And fangirling(Pisces and Scorpio) over Loki and Tony respectively. Just as the movie had ended,they heard an announcement,

"You will land in Brasilisa International Airport in about 10 minutes. Please put your seatbelts on."
They did so. As the plane landed, however Scorpio felt the hair rise on her neck. As Pisces moved to get up,she held her hand,"Not now."

Cancer frowned,"What's wrong?"

Scorpio licked her lips,"Something is coming. Or someone."

Pisces leant in,"What do you mean, Scorpio?"

She shook her head. She was not sure of what was going to come but was sure that it would not be in their favour.

The plane gradually cleared until they were the only people sitting in it. Now,Pisces and Cancer felt it too. That underlying unease in the air. They felt exposed. Naked. That alone was enough to drive Cancer up the wall but he kept his cool. This was not an easy mission. Not at all.

Scorpio held her breath as she looked straight ahead. A shadow fell on the seat in front of them.

They ducked just as a someone tried to stab them with a knife. Scorpio turned and punched him in the stomach. Pisces sprang up and landed a blow on his jaw. Cancer choked him from behind. Pisces spoke,"Who are you and what do you want?"

The man muttered something unintelligible.

"Louder,"Cancer snapped. The man tried to kick him in the shins but he twisted his leg around his until he screamed from pain.

"Tell me, otherwise you are going to suffer a painful death."

The man whimpered,"They would kill me if I speak."

Scorpio said in the sassiest tone she could summon,"So would we. But unless you plan to suffer a grotesque death with your skin peeled off,"Pisces looked a little green at that,"You should rather tell us." The man's bottom lip quivered. Pisces felt sympathetic to his plight but knew that nothing could be done.

The man opened his mouth to speak but before he could utter a word,a device activated on his exposed neck making him scream horrendously before dropping dead. Oh lovely. Someone has been watching Suicide Squad lately.

Gemini, Aquarius and Libra had resorted to playing Scrabble at the end of the trip when Aquarius had finished reading her story and Libra had finished watching that episode.

Suffice to say, Aquarius was winning. Gemini and Aquarius finally gave up and they got into a debate about who was more powerful,the Falcon or War Machine. They should have a banner for them.

"Divided by opinions. United by Marvel."

Gemini hoped to act in a Marvel movie one day. Aquarius reckoned that the best role she would get was some background character. Gemini grumbled that it would be good enough. Libra merely rolled her eyes.

Let's get to Capricorn,Virgo and Taurus. They had finally settled on Imagine Dragons and were annoying the entire plane by singing way too loudly. But this was the most amount of fun they would have before things would turn nasty. Or wouldn't. It all depended. They had a potentially dangerous mission.

Leo, Sagittarius and Aries had reached the ship. It looked formidable enough to Sagittarius but Aries frowned.

"Leo, don't you think that it's a bit too showy?"

"Huh,what do you mean Aries?"

"Well to begin with, it's way too big. Also the sails literally have the wheel of Zodiac on them. Ever heard of subtlety?"

"Uh.... Well,I believe that they have an inbuilt feature to turn invisible if we so wish it to."

"Believing won't do, Leo. I can believe that that rainbow leads to Asgard but does it really?"

Leo looked annoyed.

"Look,if politeness is being too much then I have nothing to say."

Aries rolled his eyes.

"Just check it once,idiot."

"Excuse me,who are you calling idiot?"

Sagittarius finally had enough.

"Both of you Misters bullheaded stubborn creatures stop fighting. Aries simmer down. And Leo check it. Because the last thing I need is my neck slit in my sleep."

"At the rate you are throwing insults,Sag,this is not as unlikely as you believe." Aries grumbled.

"I agree with Aries,"Leo proclaimed, starting to climb the stairs of the ship.

"You guys will agree on everything against me." Well Sagittarius wasn't wrong here.

Aries rolled his eyes.

A shadow slunk in the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport.

Somewhere far away,the twelve agents' videos popped up on the screen. A man smiled deviously, looking at them. In the background,seven hideous creatures looked upon with barely concealed impatience.

He turned and stood up before proclaiming,"The game is afoot."
