"Guys...I think we're lost..." Libra whispered, as he/she and the other eleven Zodiacs trekked slowly thorough the dark woods, searching for a place to stay for the night.
"That's the last time we're ever taking directions from Sagittarius," muttered Leo, trying to lead the others in what he/she thought was the correct way to go.
"It's very creepy here, don't you guys think?" Aquarius murmured, looking around at the tall, sinister looking trees that surrounded them. "Yeah it is, and I don't have a very good feeling about this area either," Pisces said, staying close behind Leo.
"Shh! Everyone shut up! I think I heard something move!" Aries suddenly hissed, causing the whole group to stop walking. The Zodiacs all remain quiet as they listen for sounds of anything lurking about in the dark.
"If anything pops out, I'll fight it," Scorpio growled, looking rapidly from left to right. "Me too! I'm ready to kick some a—!"
"Shhh!!!" Everyone quickly whispered at Gemini and he/she crossed their arms. "Uh, Aries? We're not hearing anything 'moving' around here," Capricorn sighed, looking to him/her shaking their head. "You were probably just hearing things."
"No wait....I hear something too. Listen again," Taurus spoke up and everyone became silent again, looking around. From up ahead of the signs, there were the sounds of footsteps and the crunching of leaves.
"Who could it be? We're all here, right?" Cancer whispered, as the signs all begin to lower themselves to the ground in caution. "Yep, all twelve of us. But up ahead is someone or something different..." Virgo murmured looking intently to the bushes.
"Someone's gonna pop out, right? Just like in the movies, right?" Sagittarius snickered, nudging Virgo in the side. "This isn't the movies, Sagi. And even if something did come out, I'm gonna be the one to take it down," Scorpio replied.
Suddenly, the bushes began to rustle and each of the twelve signs grab their weapons; six of them carried knives while the other six carried guns.
"Ranged Zodiacs, guns up!" Capricorn whisper-yelled and Taurus, Aquarius, Pisces, Leo, and Aries all raised their weapons, pointing them towards the bushes. "Shoot on my word," Capricorn hissed, and they all waited for something to appears.
Nothing, however, comes into sight. Only a low, unwelcoming voice is heard as it echoed out into the woods.
"You fools shouldn't be here...you will face the consequences of crossing through my domain..."
The signs grow tense as more voices begin to arise from around them.
"You've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?"
"Your time is up."
"Don't be excited about tomorrow, because there will be no tomorrow."
"Play with me..."
"Go...To...Sleep!"
"Always Watching....No Eyes."
"Whose THERE!?" Shouted Aries, jumping up with his/her knife. "Show yourself!"
"As you wish...but it will be your funeral."
The bushes begin to shake again, but this time, figures began to appear from out of the shadows. The signs watched in horror as beings holding weapons, wearing masks, covered in blood, and much more unsettling things came out before them.
They were deranged.
They were psychopaths.
They were killers.
They were, the Creepypastas.
"Creepypastas, Eh?" Libra exclaimed, tapping their knife on his/her hand. "We're not afraid of you guys, if that's what you're thinking."
"We were only passing through. We didn't mean to step on your territory," Cancer sneered, tilting their head at the killers. "Yeah, so let us go and we'll have no problems," Virgo added, putting on a smirk.
"Oh, we're not letting you go. If you want out of here alive, you will have to fight my killers. If you manage to defeat them, then I will let you leave," The Slenderman himself stated, facing down upon the signs.
"So, you're saying it's a fight to leave, and if we win, you'll let us go? Deal," Aries exclaimed, spinning around their gun in their hand. "Let's take em on, you guys!"
"Zodiacs VS. The Creepypastas!" Gemini shouted, raising his/her knife to the air. The other signs shouted along with Gemini and they too raise their weapons.
"Silly conformists can't beat us!" Sally Williams giggled, shaking her head. "They honestly don't know what they're getting themselves into. We'll just have to show them," Clockwork sighed, swinging her two knives in front of her.
"Well then, let's get this show over with! Ready or not, here we come!" Jeff The Killer exclaimed, darting at the signs with his knife raised. Taurus begins shooting at Jeff, but the bullets are blocked by Ticci-Toby's hatchets as he jumped in front of them.
"ATTACK!!" Cries Scorpio, and the signs and Creepypastas immediately run at each other in a clashing rage. Sagittarius stuck his/her knife right through BEN Drowned, only to see him glitch away, laughing tauntingly.
Eyeless Jack ran towards Pisces and raised his scalpel over them, but Pisces dodged a blow just in time and managed to kick him away, raising their gun.
Aries went into a rampage, shooting at Clockwork while trying to fight off Jeff The Killer at the same time.
Scorpio and Leo teamed up against Puppeteer and Ticci-Toby; Puppeteer kept launching string towards Leo who was shooting while Scorpio viciously cut the strings away. Ticci-Toby dodged the bullets yet again and ran forwards, attacking Scorpio so Puppeteer could catch Leo.
Hoodie and Aquarius were caught in a duel of guns, shooting at each other and dodging the bullets at the same time. Masky slowly snuck up behind Aquarius to hit them with his wrench(?), but Cancer bolted beside him and fought him off with their knife.
Libra unwillingly fought with the clown, Laughing Jack and tried to avoid his long sharp claws.
"Behind you, Capricorn!" Taurus shouted, spotting The Bloody Painter preparing to strike at their neck. Capricorn quickly turned just the knife scraped their shoulder and they growled, swiping the gun to knock The Bloody Painter in the head.
"Hear my battle cry, killers! YAHHHH!!" Gemini yelled, stabbing at the killers like there was no tomorrow. A maniacal laugh erupted from out their mouth, and for a moment, Virgo accidentally mistook Gemini for a killer, raising their gun at him/her.
"You're targeting the wrong foe, Virgo!" Sagittarius called out, panting as they tried chasing after BEN Drowned.
"You won't play with me?" Sally Williams appeared in front of Sagittarius, causing them to skid to a stop. "No way kid, not tonight!" Sagittarius, exclaimed, glaring at Sally with wide eyes. "Then DIE!" Sally Williams cried. Out of no where, KageKao hopped out from behind Sally and attacked Sagittarius in a rage.
"Hold up Sagi, I'm coming to help you out!" Pisces called out, pulling his/her knife out of Eyeless Jack's shoulder and running over to them. Pisces was suddenly stopped by Clockwork, who rapidly jumped in front of them.
"Your time is up!" Clockwork laughed, quickly plunging both her knives into Pisces. "Pisces! Sagittarius! Noooooo!!!!" Yelled Leo, watching as Pisces dropped to the ground and Sagittarius get slashed to death by KageKao.
Leo, being distracted by the fall of his/her two companions stepped into one of Puppeteer's traps and fell over, the golden string wrapping around their leg. Ticci-Toby laughed and made his way over to Leo on the floor, raising his hatchets. "You me-messed with-th the wrong c-crowd, pal," Ticci-Toby sneered, bearing down his hatchets upon Leo.
Seeing Leo killed by Ticci-Toby made Scorpio furious. He/she ran at Ticci-Toby, slashing their knife around crazily. "Miss, Miss, m-miss!" Ticci-Toby mocked, dodging the attacks. Scorpio growled and tried again, but was suddenly and rapidly turned around by someone else.
"Surprise!" Laughing Jack laughed, and then he jammed his claws into Scorpio, causing them to drop their knife in shock.
"Scorpio down, I repeat, Scorpio is do—" Aquarius had begun shouting out until he/she was stopped by Smile Dog. "I like to see that you're spreading the word," Smile Dog barked, "but that, my friend, is the incorrect one."
Smile Dog barred his teeth and sprung at Aquarius, his claws unsheathed and he dug them into Aquarius before he/she could react.
Cancer saw this and quickly backed away in order to avoid encounter with Smile Dog, dull with grief by the loss of their friend. Unfortunately, Cancer didn't know who they were backing up into until they ran into him and turned around...
"Gotcha," Hoodie spat, his pistol raised, and before Cancer could strike him with their knife, Hoodie shot him/her mercilessly to the ground.
"Not Cancer!" Capricorn hissed, spinning around and raising their gun at Hoodie. Before Capricorn could shoot, a loud pang arose from behind them and excruciating pain flared up in their head. Their vision goes black and they fall to the ground; Masky stood behind them with his wrench in hand, now bloodied from the blow.
"Everyone's dying around me!!" Screamed Aries in a panic, now trying to fight off Jeff The Killer, Kagekao, Sally, Clockwork, Puppeteer, and Ticci-Toby all at once. Aries frantically shot at Clockwork and missed, so he/she tried again, but this time their gun wouldn't go off. Before Aries could contemplate what had happened, Jeff The Killer and KageKao jumped at him/her, while Ticci-Toby kicked them from behind. Aries went out immediately from the impact.
Left standing of the Zodiacs were now Libra, Virgo, Taurus, and Gemini. The four remaining signs backed up to each other as the Creepypastas closed in on them, their faces wide smirks and their laughs annoyingly victorious.
"This is it, we're done for..." Libra murmured, watching the approaching killers with widened eyes. "It was a great last fight, we go out together," Virgo stated, awaiting death with a brave stance. "I agree, nice knowing you guys..." Taurus whimpered, shrinking backwards. "Forgot to clear my browser history..." muttered Gemini, clutching their knife tightly.
The four remaining signs stood together as the Creepypastas caved them in, their weapons and whatnot all raised and targeting them. "Guess we get all the pain, huh?" Gemini shuttered, nudging Taurus and Virgo.
"Well, you know what they say," Libra snickered a bit, lowering his/her head. "No pain, no gain."
After that, the killers heaved all their attacks together on the final four, ending their lives instantly. It seems, that the killers have claimed and won this battle. No one, not even the twelve Zodiacs could defy the power of the Creepypastas.
I tried, but whatever. Glad you hated it. Thanks again for all the reads, I really appreciate it. 🤘
