Chapter 3 : The End?
This is another shorter chapter but don't worry it's still good... I hope
Anyway I wonder how Sam's gonna wriggle his way out of this situation.. I'm sorry I had to anyway enjoy chapter 3 you guys
'Well this is probably the longest moment of my life. I swear I've been staring at this ugly things throat for two whole days and it's still no closer to me.'
'I wonder how the others are doing, well I might as well take a quick look, I don't see what harm that... could... do... Well that's surprising'
Everyone was in shock at both Steven being saved by Sam and Sam's decision to attract the worm Alone!
Pearl was still in tears from Steven's survival, unable to make a sound, she just stared at Sam being chased by the worm unable to understand what was going on, why would he do this? how can he do this? who in the universe is he?
Amethyst had stopped jumping in the air and had rather fallen to the ground in disbelief at the sight of Sam being able to run faster than the giant worm, not even she could do that without slipping up at some point yet he had been going for the last few minutes with no issues what so ever.
Connie and Steven were holding each other in their arms with tears streaming from their eyes "is there nothing we can do to help him guys?" Steven asked the gems as Connie did the same "please there has to something, anything!?" but neither of them got any sort of answer, each one only stared blankly at the chase scene happening in front of them.
Even Garnet was unable to respond, she seemed frozen in place her hands clasped together as if she was praying for Sam's survival but the moment he was cornered between the worm and the mountain was the moment they all snapped back to reality
"Oh no Sam mans stuck, we have to help" Amethyst said raising to her feet but before she could Pearl grabbed her arm and shook her head "there's nothing we can do, he's a gem he'll be fine" she said with a stern voice but her eyes were still full of tears
"But you don't know that he could... He could..." the small gem tried her hardest but she could do nothing but look at Pearl's face and break down, her eyes flowing with more tears than anybody else's had. Steven and Connie pulled her in for a large hug trying to keep their sights away from the tragic event that was about to take place.
Woah. Woah. Woah
First off Hi it's me again, ya know from the beginning... The narrator?
No one, really? well doesn't that fill my heart with joy
Anyway, What the Damn Hell is happening here it's only been a couple of chapters and our main character is dying, what the heck is wrong with the writer of this story!
I mean come on who kills of their main character this early on, this is so not right man I mean come the fu...
"RINGGGG RIIIINGGG"
Oh excuse me for a moment
Yello
Oh it's you, ya know I've got some comments for you buddy your really...
What?
Ok... Oh, that's sound pretty cool
So I reacted too quickly.
Well that's my fault, oopsie daisy um... I'm sorry for that
Yeah thanks for telling me
Bye
"BEEP BEEP BEEP"
Yeah that was the writer, he's just informed me of what's about to happen so...
I'm sorry for interrupting your reading um... I'll let you get back to it now
Uh Enjoy?
Dammit all to hell I just made a bloody fool of myself, why'd I do that Why! Why! Why!
Everyone had looked away, that is everyone except Garnet she looked on and didn't move a muscle. Not a single sound was made by anyone until she gasped "there is a way" she said turning to Connie who was still holding Amethyst and Steven.
"There is?" Steven said looking up at the large gem who nodded. "Yes Steven, there is a way" she said with a smile "Connie give me your sword" Garnet asked holding out her hand to the young girl.
They were all in shock at Garnet's words, but none more so than Pearl who stood up in anger "You want to give Rose's sword to Him!" she said her voice being more ferocious than anything anyone had ever heard
Garnet seemed to pay no notice to Pearl's aggression, she just focused on Connie "will it really help him?" she asked with fear in her voice which Garnet noticed instantly. "I'm not entirely sure, but there may be a chance to save him" she said with a smile "but only if he has that sword" her stern yet calming voice echoed in everyone's minds and it gave them hope, it may be small but it was all they needed
Connie picked up her sheathed sword and handed it to Garnet who nodded at her with a smile and turned to where Sam was located. "Let's hope this works" she said as she prepared to throw the sword.
Everyone was silent and still as Garnet took a very, very, very deep breath... "SAM, CATCH" she shouted as she flung the sword through the air. It was far but she could make out Sam's face his eyes burning with courage and a smile so bright it gave her hope.
"SAM, CATCH"
'Well she threw a sword... Towards me... Huh, did not expect that one'
'Wait! Does she expect me to catch that... Ah Hell No, that ain't happening. I may be fast but still I'm trapped between a giant worm and a mountain side!'
'How the hell does she expect me to... Oh wait never mind the winds carrying it away.'
'Well I'm dead... Or am I hmm, this will be a miracle if I survive but screw it'
I know I only have seconds to react but what have I got to lose, I'm basically dead already so what the hell. I notice a small indent in the mountain just above my head as soon as the worm finally closes the gap between us... That really took a long ass time, I mean really.
Anyway I jump for the indent and hold on for dear life, holding my legs close to my chest as the worm crashes into the mountain just beneath my curled up body
"Wow that was close, but considering I'm not dead it's an improvement" I say as I let go of the indent and place my feet on the lifeless worms back "huh this is surprisingly stabbbbbbbbbllllllleeeeeee. Ok IT'S NOT DEAD" I shout as I run down the creepy things back.
"ShitShitShitShitShitShitShit, why the hell is this thing so slippery" suddenly like I lose my footing and fall on my ass and begin to slowly slide down the worms back "... Oh no, I'm Going Down" the worms slippery and slimy back made me slide down faster and faster until I reached the ground
I stand up and try to brush myself off but it's impossible "ugh this is disgusting, I'm sooooo gonna need a shower after this. Now where's that sword" I look around to see the sheathed sword sticking out of the sand "ah there it is" I reach down and unsheathe the sword in the sand "hmmm this looks quite good. Now how do I use it"
Suddenly the worm finally released itself from the mountain side and turned to me roaring like a... like a... 'Wait it's sounds like the bloody T-Rex from Jurassic Park, how is that even possible? Seriously How?'
'Who am I kidding none of this makes any sorta sense what so ever.' Before I knew it the giant worm was upon me ready to strike when suddenly it screamed and I found myself standing weirdly.
My legs were spread out, my left pointing towards the worm and my right pointed horizontally far behind the other. My left arm was just like my leg pointed towards the worm with my palm facing it, my right arm was behind my head holding the sword with the side of the blade close to my face. My body was lowered, close to the ground and the worm seemed to have a slash along the bottom of its head
'Did I do that? How? I don't even know how to fight let alone use a sword... At least I don't think I know how to do that stuff.'
'But I just did it, I don't know how but I did, didn't I? Well I guess I might as well try it is my life on the line after all'
I take a deep breath and look towards my opponent, I feel my heartbeat getting quieter and quieter until it was almost gone and within moments both the worm and I lunged for each other
My mind was blank and I let my body move instinctively and because of this I was unafraid of the swirling rows of teeth in front of me. As the worm leaped into the air I dived below sliding along the sand with my sword slicing the worms underbelly as out paths crossed
I could hear the worm howling as the sword slit it in half, but then I felt the sword stop it was stuck ok something. I look up to see what the sword was stuck on, it was stuck on the half of a gem!
I had to react fast I grabbed the sword, with both hands this time, and pull down on it pushing the gem straight out of the worms body and with a 'poof' it disappeared out of existence leaving behind half of a gem at my feet.
"Wow that was the most surprising thing I've done since not getting beheaded haha... Woah" before I realised it I had been jumped by three crying childlike creatures "hey guys come on I'm fine, see not a scratch on me please stop crying before you make me cry" I say with a smile as they all look up at me
Amethyst jumped off me the moment she made eye contact with me which caused the rest of us to laugh for a moment and the others finally got of me "firstly I believe this belongs to you Connie" I hand the sword back to its owner with a nod and a smile
The spear freak and Garnet were walking over while talking, I couldn't make out all of it but I did here some "did you feel that power, Garnet it has to mean something. It's not safe for him to be here. He's not one of us. He's my a crystal gem!" speary said to Garnet with aggression but it didn't seem to faze her "maybe he's not a crystal gem, yet, but he is alone and had no where else to go. Weather he came from Homeworld or not doesn't matter he's here now and he needs our help and for all we know we need his!" her words had once again made my day, she's protecting from being alone and I could not be happier because of it.
"Now then where is that gem" I search the sand beneath my feet until I see the gem shining "ah there it is, hey Garnet catch" I throw the gem to the tall woman who instantly bubbles it, I really want to know how they do that, and after that I can't help but smile
'Well that was a surprisingly hectic day, I went to work like normal but almost got eaten by a worm until I found out I know how to use a sword.'
'And it seems that I'm gonna join the gems on missions from time to time, now that's gonna be awesome. I just hope there aren't any other surprises for me or the others anytime soon.'
What was that I felt, that power
It seemed special, I must find out what it was
Was it Steven or was it something else, I will find out by any means necessary if my names not
Malachite!
Well I guess he spoke a bit too some there didn't he. And yes I'm bringing Lapis and Jasper into this, I already have ideas for them in this story and hopefully they work, we'll all have to wait and see about that
Btw this is one of the first fight scenes I've ever written and hopefully it's not bad but I don't think it's that great either so please any feedback about it will be amazing :)
As always thank you for reading and I'll see ya next chapter
