アレキサンドライト!
(Arekisandoraito!)
The city begins to quake.
A sound similar to thunder is heard, but this noise is distinct.
"Boom. Boom! BOOM!"
This thunder has a very specific rhythm.
The humans know what this means.
There is an immediate panic in the streets of the city! People stampede in droves! Groceries are dropped and forgotten! A lost child howls in fear, seconds before a kind stranger picks him up and leads him to safety!
The humans know better then to stay out in the open. They huddle in an underground bunker. It is hot and uncomfortable. There is no room to move, no room to breath. Despite their discomfort, they stay still and quiet. They do not want the giant to know of their hiding spot.
The multi-colored freak enters the concrete jungle, and immediately begins its rampage. She uses her massive tail to destroy skyscrapers. She levels the food market with one misstep of her gargantuan foot. She is on the hunt. The creature wishes to destroy mankind. That horrific species that encouraged Rose to want to stay and fight. That idiotic group of apes that corrupted her! They made her this way!
In the bunker, a baby cries. He is hot, hungry, and uncomfortable. His mother puts her hand over his mouth in a panic, but it is already too late. The sound has given away their hiding spot.
The crowd gasps and screams in panic, as the massive giant uses it's talons to rip off the concrete utilized for the bunker's roof.
The creature licks it's chops in satisfaction. This is a large bunch of the morons! They will meet the same demise as the others!
"Boom...Boom...BOOM...WHAM!"
A second monster appears! The creature punches the devil in the face, knocking her sideways (and toppling another skyscraper in the process). It happens so quickly that the event shocks everyone- both the humans and their enemy.
Could it be?!
It is!
"Arekisandoraito!" The crowd cheers in unison. Thank God!...and just in the nick of time too!
The enemy seems startled at first. She shakes off her initial pain, before giving an intimidating screech! The evil one rises, ready for a brawl!
The humans know better then to stick around for this. The crowd stampedes out of the bunker in a hurry and heads toward the mountains.
Arekisandoraito looks at the massive amount of damage done to the human habitat. She will have to make this a victory as quick as possible in order to avoid more homes being lost.
The evil one charges in a rage! Her pray is escaping! Arekisandoraito grips one of the monster's many arms quickly, and chucks her to the opposite side of the city. The creature falls, and crushes several more buildings in the process.
There is an internal conflict in Arekisandoraito's heart. She is embarrassed. Paaru yells at Amejisuto for being too reckless with the brawl. Gaanetto settles her two friends down, and re-concentrates on the task at hand.
The enemy roars in annoyance before charging at the monstrous friend once more.
Arekisandoraito is ready. She grabs the fiend, and shoots a massive fireball using her maw. The flames hit their target at point blank range.
The evil one howls in pain, before disintegrating into thin air. All that is left is a beautiful jewel, which is bubbled and dealt with by the friendly giant. The crowd cheers her name on the mountainside. The Kaiju smiles at the spectators.
"REALLY Amethyst! You couldn't have come up with a better plan then tossing it?! Just imagine how much property damage you just caused!" Pearl was still complaining as the Crystal Gems entered the temple door.
"Hey! It got the job done didn't it?! Besides, it will look awesome in the news reels! People eat that stuff up you know!"
"That's not the point! We have a job to destroy as few human structures as possible...ESPECIALLY when forming Alexandrite! Garnet! Help me out here!"
Garnet does not say anything. Her two halfs are conflicting.
Sapphire agrees with Pearl.
Ruby thought the fight was fucking awesome.
Hey guys! The author here! I just really wanted to quickly thank everyone for all of the support, comments, kudos, bookmarks, favorites, and follows. They are all super appreciated, and I adore getting feedback on what you think of these silly little shorts!
This chapter has definitely been my favorite to write out of the bunch so far (my second favorite was Demon). For this one, I actually had to look up how to spell the Crystal Gems names in Japanese.
Anyway... if you guys are courious, several more chapters have already been written, including: Dragons, Phoenix, and Tanuki. (I'm also currently working on the rough for "Giant")
If there are any specific creatures you would like to see me tackle, I'm totally open for suggestions! I would love to descover some new legendary critters to write about!
Oh!
...and happy Father's Day! YAY!
