Chapter Nine "The Sound"
Spike again heard a sound, only this time it sounded like stomping and running.
"What's that?" said Power.
"Whatever it is it.' coming this way" said Blue.
"Well I'd face it but my shoulder's still sore, lets just get moving." said Spike leading the way.
Power and Blue were following behind, with Rex, and Jewels and Melody were in the back, Melody was tugging the master emerald behind but wasn't having a very hard time keeping up with the others.
"So? Is this always how it is on his team." asked Melody trying to make conversation.
"Yeah…" said Jewels.
"So I suppose you and I are the only girls on the team now huh? And the three guys and Spike?" said Melody.
"Yes, that's our group…it's not like we're not a threat though." said Jewels trying not to look uncomfortable speaking to her.
"well that's cool, ummm I'm sorry but I don't think I properly introduced myself, it's been like years I heard your name so I'm afraid I've forgotten." said Melody.
"My Name's Jewels, up in the front with the rings is Blue, the one in front of us is Rex and the one with the goggles and fast pace is Power, and I'm sure you know Spike." said Jewels.
"Oh I see thanks that'll make it a lot easier for Me." said Melody.
"Yeah well our life isn't asexually easy, there are a lot of things we have to do and if you don't carry your own weight you fall behind." said Jewels.
"Really? So what's your talent then?" asked Melody clearly interested in what Jewels was saying.
"I'm the mechanic and computer expert, but at the moment I have no computer, Rex is the strong one, Blue was our spy but he's not much use in that area anymore so he's mostly the go-to guy since he's intelligent, Power's the one with the brains and strength that's why he was second in command before Spike placed me in that spot, and well Spike's the leader." said Jewels.
"Oh wow, I didn't realize you all had such important jobs, I understand your mission is conquering this planet or your planet…but I'm not sure what use I could be for you if you chose to go to your old planet, I'm a very good shot and I'm not stupid but I don't have one main area of expertise." said Melody a bit discouraged.
"Blue all over again." Jewels thought to herself.
"Well you'll get it in time, Spike's a very good judge of character so I'm sure you're right for this team." said Jewels.
