A/N: For whoever wrote the Guest review, thanks for telling me about some things that were a bit off. I'll try and fix them in this chapter and the one after!
Chapter 4: The Avalanche
"Hey Audio Daddy-o!" Steven called to his father from the entrance of It's-A-Wash while Pearl's eye twitched for some odd reason.
"Hey Steven, what's up?" Greg answered after he came outside of the car wash … then he saw Pearl.
"Whoa, what happened to Pearl?"
Steven explained the story to Greg.
"So, she's been turned into a human?" Greg asked while Pearl's eye twitched even more by the sound of "human".
"Yup, pretty much!" Steven nodded.
"Well, at least you didn't get hit by that weird magic stuff! It might have killed you!" Greg said to his son.
"Yeah … Anyway, do you have any sunscreen Dad?" Steven asked after a short pause, "Connie says its 120 degrees out and she can't go outside because-"
"Wait," Greg interrupted, "Why would you need sunscreen? Just because it's hot out doesn't mean you need it."
Steven raised an eyebrow while Pearl mumbled, "I should have known that."
"She must be keeping a secret from you, shtoo-ball." Greg replied.
After a few minutes of Steven thinking with his hand to his chin, he shrugged.
"Hey Dad, that can you drive us to Connie's house?"
"Sure Steven." Greg answered.
"Great! Now, we have to wait for her to call back."
And right when Steven said that, he plopped down on the white concrete with a stern face.
Pearl did the same but she put her hands to her face, while at the same time, shaking.
Greg plopped down beside the two and they all waited patiently (Well, maybe just Greg and Steven did.) and listened carefully for Steven's phone to ring.
A warp pad on some purple mud like plain which was surrounded by un-seeable smoke-like fog erupted in light. When the light was gone, two figures emerged. One was a short woman with long hair while the other was tall and sported an afro.
The two jumped off the pad and were revealed to be Amethyst and Garnet.
"So, where are we going first Garnet?" Amethyst asked the maroon gem.
"Just keep going straight." Garnet answered, and before they knew it, the two of them were standing in front of a, surprisingly, normal looking mountain.
It was, of course, tall, had a dull grey color, and had rigid edges and cliffs.
"This looks easy!" Amethyst mouthed off.
She summoned her whip and grappled onto a nearby ridge.
"It looks too easy." Garnet responded with caution.
"Why do you say that? You think the creator would put up traps?" Amethyst asked.
But before Garnet could answer, a rumble was heard from the mountain. Soon enough, large grey boulders came down from the hill.
"Look out!" Garnet yelled and ran towards Amethyst, who had just jumped off the ridge she was on.
But, it was too late. The two heroes got submerged by the huge sphere rocks.
For some reason, the boulders had glued together, ultimately making a small cave for Amethyst and Garnet.
"Yay, we're alive!" Amethyst cheered.
Garnet summoned her gauntlets, "Now, we have to find a way out!"
Garnet tried with her might to break the rocks along with Amethyst who had summoned her whip to grasp the boulders. Sadly, the two couldn't get rid of them.
Amethyst wheezed while Garnet kept on hitting the obstacle when they heard a tiny drilling noise. Soon enough, a small cylinder shaped driller with treadmills came out of a little mouse-hole shaped opening that was slightly glowing.
"What's that?" Amethyst questioned Garnet.
"I have no clue." Garnet replied
Then, the drill turned back into the hole. A few minutes later, they heard a sizzle, has if something was being burnt. Finally, the true threat appeared. It was … magma? The molten rock poured out of the crack.
"Wow, whoever made this trap really stinks at making them." Amethyst laughed and put her foot in the magma, only for it to slightly burn off, showing her toes.
"What?!" The gems were shocked.
"Oh no, this is Gem Magma. It can burn only gems! But, this was discovered in 1809. How is it here now when this place was founded in 1601?" Garnet explained plus asked.
Amethyst, with a scared expression, breathed heavily, thinking of their future demise. All of a sudden, an idea sparked in Amethyst's head.
"Hey Garnet, I think I know what to do!"
