Chapter 7 - The Red-hot Ruby hammers through
Joz walked through another rock corridor that seemed to lead up through the hill. He couldn't be all that far from the top. The rocks that had been mossed covered purplish coloured were now turning into bright blue slates. It was also getting really hot, and he soon realised why. As he turned the corner he saw a River of Lava. The river looked like it ran through most of the hills here like blood vessels.
In the Middle of the Chamber stood a red female hedgehog holding a rather large hammer.
"I take it your Ruby?" asked Joz.
"Yes Master hunter. I am Ruby Rose, second in command with the Deadly gems", said the hedgehog.
"No Blade for you then?" asked Joz.
"Di and Saph use Swords. Em uses Ninja stars which she couldn't use in the fight, I use this hammer", said Ruby, "Only Saph has managed to beat me you know"
"Is that so. Well add one to your tally cause I aint gonna lose", said Joz pulling the Annemuir out of it's holder.
Joz dashed towards Ruby who smashed her hammer into the ground. Ruby used the force created to jump high over Joz. Joz turned and tried to hit Ruby again but she dodged it in the same way. Joz began sweating like mad, and it was obvious why. The Lava River added to his running and jumping about was making him very hot.
"I'm starting to understand why you haven't been beaten. You always fight beside a lava flow?" asked Joz.
"What's the matter, can't stand the heat", said Ruby.
"I'm surprised you can", said Joz.
"Well I've been trained to handle hot areas like this. This is nothing compared to a real volcano, I should know I used to live near one", said Ruby.
Joz crouched and used the stealth wing. He disappeared under the veil created by his wings, but soon found himself retracting the Stealth wing and falling to the ground.
"Yikes that's hot!" said Joz.
"That might've worked, if your Stealth wing didn't create so much heat", said Ruby.
Joz stood up panting and sweating like mad.
"Now you face my hammer, let's see how much stamina you really have", said Ruby. Ruby dashed towards Joz and swung her hammer at him. Joz didn't have the strength to fight back. He was knocked in the opposite direction and slid across the floor. He struggled to get back on his feet but did so smiling.
"What are you smiling about?" asked Ruby, "You're losing".
"You have a lot in common with Emerald you know", said Joz flying to the roof. He grasped his sword and sliced the roof and rocks fell into Lava River. Joz stood at the other end of the room, it was much cooler now.
"You both depend too much on your strengths. Let's see how you do when the heat's turned down", said Joz crouching into his stealth wing. Ruby looked around in a panic, He's right, without the heat he can use his stealth ability, which means…
"Uh oh!" said Ruby before being hit by Joz's armoured wings. Joz had jumped from his crouching position the same as when he fought Emerald. Now it was Ruby's turn to go flying.
Ruby Smashed into the wall and Joz finished her off with a strong strike with his sword. Joz counted her out, picked her up and brought her to the rest room. After dropping Ruby on the nearest bed he collapsed on another in exhaustion.
"Phew! That was a close one", said Joz before falling asleep.
