The Zodiac

Notes: I came up with this idea for several reasons, in which I read most DSQ fics from Rhapsoding

Riyoko. Here are the factors which I came up in making this fic:

In the anime series, it is not known whether the Pluto faction, led by Anubis, is disbanded following

Anubis' supposed death (episode 45).

The Pluto fanfic was written by Rhapsoding Riyoko. In her fanfic, it was said that Pluto was gone

following the death of Anubis. But she did not state that Ryu Amakusa's grandfather is still alive, hence,

Pluto remains alive.

Vinny 11 attempted to make his version of a fic involving Pluto, but Pluto's popularity waned over the

months, perhaps because DSQ fans were getting weary since they've already watched the anime series. As

a result, Vinny 11 abandoned his fic.

Rather than make a fic involving Pluto, I decided to make a brand new nemesis for D. D. S. Here are the

following:

I happened to bought a rare, complete 15-issue comic book on The Official Handbook of The Marvel

Universe Deluxe Edition last June at a comics and toys collection covention at the Mega Trde hall on the

5th floor of SM Megamall. There I read about the Zodiac organization on # 15 (Wonder Man to Zzzax + Alien Races).

Since I was writing fics for Ghost Stories (Ghosts at School) at that time, I put my plans on making a DSQ fanfics on hold.

I tried to make a DSQ fic through a multi-title crossover story (see The Haunted Circus; To The Theme Park; Fetus of God).

After getting a few, but good reviews, and finishing my 4th Ghost Stories fic (see The Boogeyman), I decided

to make my 2nd DSQ fic by coming up with a new opponent rather than refurbishing a Pluto storyline.

Since the DSQ universe is set in Japan, I had to come up with some Japanese names to act as alter egos for

the 12 Zodiac members. It wasn't easy, as I scanned various anime and tokusatsu series to get an idea on

which names I'll be using. I decided to use some Japanese names based from characters of tokusatsu series,

such as Kamen Rider Ryuki (in the Philippines, it is called Mask Rider Ryuki. RIDER CHANGE!).

Since the Zodiac characters and origins came from the Marvel Universe, I decided to borrow those

elements and infuse them here.

And since were talking about Zodiac here, each chapter that I'll be writing will be representing the

astrological sign. For example. "Chapter 1" will be named "July 21 – Aug. 20". Hence Chapter 1 will focus

on Leo, Chapter 2 will be titled Aug. 12 – Sept. 22, and the chapter will focus on Virgo, and so on.

Since were on the subject of D. D. S. facing the 12 Zodiac members, the chapters on this fic may go beyond

12, but I'm not saying that it is final. As the old saying goes, it is subject to change.

In the Marvel Comics, The 12 human Zodiac members were killed by their android counterparts, and took

over their operations. Perhaps in the future I may brought this element into the DSQ universe.

and since the Zodiac employs powerful technological weapons, Class Q and A may encounter some problems,

so I decided to bring in some guest anime characters in to the mix: they are the six Chosen Children from

Digimon Adventure 02.

As stated above, the elements of the Zodiac story line in Marvel Comics will be infused here, but I will

make some changes to make this story original.

The fic I'm writing will be rated T, for there will be violence and blood, due to intense fighting. Of course

there'll be the same comedy effects that DSQ fans have come to love.

Now that I've said my piece, it's time to move on, and on to the story! But on the next chapter. Sorry, but

by the time you're reading this, Chapters 1 and 2 are already under development. It's not easy making a fic,

you know!

But don't pout. I'm doing my best to update the chapters. And expect some of the chapters to be long.

And now my speech is done, turn to Chapter 2 to start the story.
