ChGarnert 11: Escaping the temple of the Aztecs
The boys watched the pool of lava in horror.
"She's gone... Garnet is gone," They whispered in unison.
Two tears fell simotainiously down the brothers cheeks.
"Come on guys help me up," Obasidian
The two twins helped up the black gem, and stared and him blankly.
"Let's go chain those two ladies shall we?" Obasidan cheerfully stated.
The twins stared at him.
"Umm...Guys, lets go, that's an order,"
The twins didn't move. With a loud battle cry, they pushed Obsidian into the river of lava, and watched him fall to his death. Suddenly, a red gem poked her head from the stream of lava ,coming up for air.
"You're alive!" They screamed down below.
"Can you help me up there please?" Garnet asked.
The twins locked arms, and shape shifted into ropes. Garnet swam over to the brothers, and shook the lava from her body.
"It'd be bad if I accidentally burned you two huh?" She teased.
The faces on the rope smiled, as they rapped their rope around Garnet's waist and pulled her up. When they reached the room before the final chamber, Citrine was still laying in the floor while Amethyst gently nudged her.
"Garnet we need to get her to a healing pool now," Amethyst worried.
"You're in no shape to move either lady," the twins teased.
Amethyst angrily summoned her weapon, attempting to start a round two.
"Amethyst, I order you to back down," Garnet ordered.
Garnet gently picked up her cousin and held her in her arms. Red Alex surprised Amethyst by hoisting her on his shoulder.
"You know I can walk?" Amethyst argued.
"No, you'll be too slow," Green reasoned.
"The exit is that way," Garnet pointed with a free hand.
The gems followed Garnet down the hallway.
"Garnet, why isn't Obsidian trying to kill us still?" Amethyst inquired.
The Alexandrite brothers exchanged uneasy looks, while Garnet summomed her glasses back.
"He won't be bothering us, ever again," Garnet flatly stated.
When they reached the end of the hallway they heard rumbling. Suddenly, the door they came from closed behind them.
"Guys, I think we're trapped now," Amethyst oberved.
"Let's just keep moving," The boys suggested in unison.
Behind them, a large boulder starting to move in their direction.
"Guys we need to move!" Red calles out.
The gems broke into a Garnet's the fastest in the group, Red throws Amethyst on top of Garnet's cubed afro.
"Whoa!" Amethyst called out while hanging on for dear life.
"Garnet! A ledge!" Green screamed. "We do jump and catch," Garnet ordered.
"It's too dangerous!" The boys protested in unison.
"Just trust me!"
Garnet leaped from the ledge, while the Red grabs her collar, and Green turns into rope. At the last possible moment, Green wraps the end of his rope around the vine above the gems heads, and his brothers arms. The boulder that was chasing behind tumbles down the ledge with a large crunch.
"Good job, just like old times," Garnet beamed.
"Just like old times," the boys repeated in unison.
"Wait, you three did crazy stuff like this all the time!?" Amethyst yelled. "Yeah,"
"Lets get you girls to the other side," Green Alex decided.
Green swung, launching his brother and Garnet to the others side of the ledge. The green gem turned into a bird, and landed in Amethyst's hair.
"Smells like blueberries," he commented.
Amethyst rolled her eyes.
"So is everyone going to hitch a ride on me?" Garnet questioned.
"Yes," Red teased, as he turned into a scarf and wrapped around Garnet's neck.
"Ugh".
Garnet acted pretty much as the bus from now on, or at least until they heard growling again.
"Gem wolves again, " Amethyst observed.
"We'll take care of it, they're easy to handle," the boys bragged.
In the next room, stood the mother gem wolf, surrounded by all her children. The mom growled at the intruders.
"Still think it's easy to handle?" Amethyst asked.
"Shut up,"
"Alexandrites, you know what to do," Garnet murmured.
The boys nodded, along with Amethyst. Garnet tossed Citrine in the air, to be caught by a giant Green bird. "Everyone run!" Garnet ordered, as she threw Amethyst at Green.
Garnet prepared for the fight of her life. Instead, Green nose dived, and snatched Garnet by her collar with his free claw.
"Do you know the way out Green!?" Amethyst asked while her voice echoed.
"Everyone this way!" Green ordered.
The red bird followed the sound of the lost gem's voice. Before either brother could notice it, they hit a waterfall that led to the outside. The drop off was at least 100 meters down into thick jungle.
"Garnet what do we do now!?" the brothers quaked.
Garnet looked down the waterfall, and then at her cousin in her arms. She turned around to the loud echos behind her that were quickly closing in. Garnet closed her eyes, and jumped.
