Chapter 7

The plane had crash landed near a mountain formation. Steven awoke and saw the wreckage of the plane. He looked up and saw Pearl lying on the ground with a metal pole sticking out of her back. Garnet was impaled on an exposed piece of the plane's metal skeleton and hanging by her chest. Amethyst was nowhere to be found, having fallen out of the plane before it crashed. Steven looked around and saw the carnage.

Steven: Great. My arms gone. The Gems are gone. And I don't even...

He tried to get up, but grabbed his stomach in pain. He looked down and saw a long metal plate sticking out of his stomach. He began to walk away, blood leaking out of his stomach and the wound where his right arm was. He finally reached a building that was marked, WHO facility.

Steven: Good. A medical facility. Hello! Hello!

He tried knocking on the door, but there was no answer. The world began to fade into darkness as Steven lost consciousness from blood loss.

He later awoke on a hospital bed with two men and a woman looking over him.

Steven: Where am I?

Man: Inside the WHO facility. We were able to patch up your wound and it's safe for you to move. You were brought in here by this woman.

He looked over and saw Amethyst.

Steven: Amethyst! You're alive!

Amethyst: Steven! You're awake!

They both hugged each other.

Steven: I saw you fall out the plane. We were 30,000 feet in the air. How did you survive?

Amethyst: I'm part magic remember? I just kicked off that zombie, grew wings and flew down to the crash site. I saw all three of you, and was worried you guys were gone. I took you all, brought you here, destroyed the glass and here you are.

Man: You didn't have to do that you know. You could have knocked.

Amethyst: Didn't he try knocking?

Man: Good point. Name's Derek.

Other man: I'm Chris.

Woman: I'm Sarah.

Steven: Where are Pearl and Garnet?

Derek: Over there.

Garnet and Pearl were hooked up to machines to keep them alive.

Steven: How long until they wake up?

Amethyst: That's the problem.

Derek: There blood is a special chemical that can only be woken up with a medicine that's in B wing.

Steven: What's wrong with B wing?

They brought the two to the security camera screens.

Sarah: That's B wing.

The screen showed footage of zombies stumbling through all the hallways of B wing.

Steven: That figures.

Derek: We have the doors to B wing locked down completely and barricaded.

Steven: I'm going in. Amethyst, are you coming?

Amethyst: Yeah. Let's go.

Derek: You're crazy.

Steven: Crazy world gives crazy ideas.

Amethyst: What medicine are we looking for?

Sarah: Pseudoephedrine.

Amethyst morphed the name into her arm.

Steven: Thanks. Come on, Amethyst.

The two of them walked to the door way to B wing, cleared the barricade, slowly opened the door and walked into the hallways.

Amethyst: Sorry about your arm.

Steven: It's fine. I still can shoot a pistol.

He pulled out his handgun.

Amethyst: Too loud.

Steven: Easier than trying to fight them where they can bite you.

Amethyst: Alright. Come on.

The two of them snuck through the halls, avoiding zombies and outmanuevering them. They finally reached the hall where the medicine was. There was a single zombie that spotted them and Steven gunned him down, attracting the rest of the zombies. Steven quickly grabbed the medicine, but was stopped by a hoard of approaching zombies.

Steven: Take the medicine. I'll distract them.

Amethyst: No! They'll tear you apart!

Steven: You have a better chance of making it back. Just go! I'll make it back as soon as I can.

Amethyst: Don't get eaten.

She morphed her way through the zombie crowd while Steven gunned them down. He eventually was forced to take shelter in the room where all diseases were kept. It had heavy doors and tough clear plastic. The zombies were pounding on the door, when they heard a door slam, drawing all of them over. Meanwhile, Amethyst had made it back to the other wing, and they were the ones who slammed the door. They quickly administered the medicine to Pearl and Garnet. Back in the disease room, Steven was inside ensuring the clearance of all zombies. He looked around at all the diseases, when another zombie came and pounded on the door. He looked at it and what he saw made his eyes go wide. It was Connie who was pounding on the door.
