Hey! Finally finished this chapter up and I really appreciate all the reviews you guys have been leaving, it's really awesome to see that you guys are enjoying this.

I hope you guys will like this one!

I closed my eyes and saw only darkness, yet nothing happened. All I could hear were aggressive growls as I sat fearful to even open my eyes.

"Gems, now!" Wait I knew this voice? Opening my eyes I was met face first with an amazing sight, the person I knew as Garnet was successfully holding the creatures gaping maw at bay as she held it open with two identical gauntlets, both of which had matched the colour pattern of her suit.

The Salamander began to shake furiously as it fought against the might of my defender, seeing that it was held in place a deep growl started as its flames began to recede back into itself, this I had quickly recognized.

I began to squirm as I tried to find any sort of footing as I knew what was coming, I was however was took by surprise when I was lifted suddenly by the collar of my shirt, before I could see who had taken me all I had heard was one simple word.

"Alleyoop." I shot into the sky with the strong grip of my collar still remaining along side both my legs supported by a sing purple arm.

"Wha-!" Looking down all I could see was raging flames spewing from the monstrous lizard with Garnet being pushed down further along the beach, both her and the creature had shrunk by the distance between us but yet just as quickly they both began to enlarge.

From what I could tell in my panicked haze we were at the very least 30 feet in the air, and we're falling to the sandy beaches uncomfortably quick.

"Wait!" I called out hoping somehow we would freeze in place, but that was just absurd as we were mere moments from landing. With a strong sense of adrenaline still running I felt nothing as we quickened our decent, my hair flying up with the wind and my glasses loosening their grip on my face, but luckily enough we had landed without a problem.

Looking over I could see that it was the small purple one named Amethyst that had miraculously brought me quite far away from the ensuing battle that had started before me, Amethyst had looked at me with a half grin seemingly comfortable with the monstrosity that was spewing flames madly.

"Just stay back, we got this thing in the bag." Before I could try say anything a sudden glow had shown from her chest, a bright purple shine lit up as she had somehow took grip on light itself as it took form, a whip had been pulled from her as she held it fully coiled.

"Whaaa..." Was all I could sound as I was in awe, my jaw dropping as I was taking in the spectacle as she had dashed towards the battle leaving only a trail of sand that had been kicked up behind her.

Charging head first I had looked over to the heated conflict to see that Garnet was being pushed back by the sea of flames spewing from the fiery beast, holding her gauntlets up as makeshift shields she was slowly but steadily holding her ground.

"Hey scaly over here!" Taunted Amethyst who had just thrown a sizeable boulder straight into the side of the Salamander, this had made it cease its continuous streams as it gave its attention towards its new foe, this however gave Garnet a vital opening.

Rushing forward within the blink of an eye she had met finally made her first attack on the beast, a single fist held up with her full might was sent directly to the body of the creature, and then immediately on contact the creature was sent flying far down the beach. A pained screech could be heard but this had been quieted by the immense boom that had echoed from the attack, the Salamander had been forced on its back leaving the sand below it to take the intense heat from its back.

Surprisingly enough though it had quickly recovered and rolled over on all fours standing on its newly created glass like footing, it stood leaving only the steady sound of its blazing back along side its angered growls as its one eye stared carefully at its foes.

"Matthew!" Shouted a voice as it took my attention from the battle that took place before me, looking over towards the voice I could see that it was Steven running in my direction.

"Steven?" Perplexed, all I could say was his name, but then after hearing the tell tale sound of massive bursts of flames I shot up on my feet also sprinting towards Steven.

"Steven get away! It's not safe!" Shouting at the top of my lungs I had warned the small running boy, but in my rush I didn't notice a small detail from Steven, that his eyes had viewed past me staring at some unknown threat as his face shown concern.

"Look out!" Steven had shouted on instinct hoping that I would listen to his warning, thankfully so I did and quickly turned my head to see one thing hurling towards me.

A giant ball of fire had past both Amethyst and Garnet was heading in my direction seemingly intentionally, looking at the faces of both Amethyst and Garnet they were both stuck in a state of shock and fear as the fireball was quickly closing the distance.

Staring at it feeling a sense of annoyance rather then fear, seemingly from the repeated near death encounters from this hour alone, the fireball had quickly became a blurred from my sight as I felt my self taken off my feet.

Once again I was taken away from danger, the difference however being both the direction and my saviour. Being swifted off my feet I was coming closer to the rocky face of the cliffside being taken away from path of the flames, looking up I could see the pale white face of Pearl which held intense worry.

"Steven!" She called out worryingly, twisting my head I could see why. The flaming mass that had missed me however was sent flying towards the young boy, leaving both Pearl and I visibly shocked.

As the fireball quickly made its way to Steven it had finally blown into a torrent of flames and black smoke leaving me choking on air, the air was tense and empty of noise save for the steady crashing on waves. As the smoke began to settle and the feeling of time seemingly slowing to a halt I could begin to see a feint pink light shining through the fading smoke. To my surprise Steven had seemingly been unharmed by the explosion thanks to some pink bubble that had protected him, from inside he had stood with his arms outstretched and his eyes shut tight.

A strong sigh of relief had escaped me as I was still held in the pale arms of Pearl, this was cut short as a strong reptilian hiss echoed from down the beach.

Rearing my head I had seen the Flaming Salamander slowly backing away keeping its single eye trained on all five of us, it's flames steadily burning low on its back as if to be ready to burn strong and bright at a seconds notices. Having seen this however Garnet had readied herself again for one final attack on the creature as she call out once more for her comrades.

"Pearl, Amethyst, let's finish this!" Having heard this Pearl had swiftly placed me on my feet and with a strong white glow she too placed her hand over glowing gemstone as she magically released a light blue spiralling spear from light, she gripped it strongly with both hand and then within a blink of an eye she sped forward to stand with the others.

As all three women stood facing the monster in front of them I could only stand in place with my mouth dropping from the amazing sight before me, even unknown to me my eyes seemed to be seeing stars as my pupils had taken the shape of one.

Everything fell silent as the next move was about to be taken.

Hope this isn't too much of a cliffhanger for you guys, I'm really trying to figure out how I can write an action oriented chapter, seeing as how those ones really are the more difficult ones for me to write so it might take a while.

BUT FEAR NOT! I wanted to tell you about the other pen name I use, except this one is over on this sites sister Fictionpress. It's were I have my own original stories (that I haven't been paying much attention to but I really want to turn that around.)

Just look up EcstaticWriter and hopefully you'll find me, I tend to do more fantasy based stories so I hope those Will be to your liking.

See y'all later!
