Chapter 13: Amber, Granite, and Mica
Pearl and Amethyst held their weapons high ready for a fight, the person before them stood hunched back, his hair covering his left eye while his right eye seemed to stare into their souls.
The figure gave a chuckle before standing tall. His whole body cracked as he stretched. The gems flinched a bit, they expected him to lunge at them. He looked at the two gems with weapons, his eye squinted, "Well, if it's a fight you want, don't think you'll be fighting me.*he turned his back on them and walked over to the smaller tube* You'll be fighting my brothers!" He slammed his fist onto the glass shattering it into millions of pieces. The liquid inside rushed out and the small man fell forward but was caught by his brother. The small one opened his eyes, his expression was peaceful and he seemed very relaxed. "Thanks Amber." He said chilled, as he stood on the wet floor; stretching. The two men walked over to the larger tube, and shattered the glass. A larger male stepped out, the whole room seemed to shake as he stepped down. The larger male seemed to be missing his left forearm. He lifted his hand and stared at it. His arm glowed as it reformed a forearm and a hand. "That's better." he said clutching his fist, testing his new arm. "So, who are those three?" The small gem stated pointed at them." They are your opponents." Amber replied.
"Opponents huh?" The small gem looked at them, a creepy smile formed itself on his face.
"I'm gonna join in on this, I'll take that tall skinny one." The large gem cracked his knuckles. The small and large figures stepped forward as the middle one stayed put. "Fine, I'll take the purple one, but first let's move somewhere else this place is too cramped." "Agreed." Amber walked next to the 3 gems, they followed him with their weapons drawn. "I already told you I'm not fighting you they are." Amber jumped through the large hole in the ceiling escaping the lab and landing in the canyon; everyone else followed behind. They all met in the canyon. "Now that we have room, why don't you two introduce yourselves before you fight. *large one grunted* "My name is Granite."
Granite stood at 8 feet tall, pure white eyes with grey hair that was square like , it did not extend beyond his head but was flat at the top , his skin closely resembled the rock that rested on his right shoulder, Dark grey. The rock was jagged and was large enough to act as a shoulder guard.
"And I'm Mica." The small gem jumped up and stood on Granite's left shoulder. Mica stood at about 5'6 and his skin was light grey, all of it except his legs and arms. The skin grew transparent so his hands and feet were clear. His hair resembled a buzz cut but at the top it was normal length and wavy. The 3 gems wore nothing but black underwear. "Let's get this show on the road!" Mica yelled his eyes and mouth seemed to turn to those of a psycho. He leaped off Granites shoulder and charged towards Amethyst like a Spear hurdling through the air at full speed. Mica tackled Amethyst putting distance between her and Pearl. Mica snapped his legs back giving him extreme momentum to flip forward doing so he threw Amethyst against the canyon wall imprinting her body to the wall. "Amethyst!" Pearl and Steven cried out The ground shook beneath Pearl and Steven in rhythm Pearl looked where the shaking was coming from. Granite was in front of her a fist coming at her, by instinct she threw Steven back to safety and swayed her head dodged the attack. The huge gem went for a backhand but pearl was too nimble to be hit by such a slow attack. She ducked under was using the butt of her spear to smack under Granites jaw. His hair moved upwards from the force but he seemed to be unfazed by the attack. Pearl was shocked, but Granite replied with a smirk. He surprised her with a kick to the side. sending her flying and tumbling on the ground as she traveled.
Steven ran towards Pearl but was stopped by certain yellow gem that seemed to appear in front of him. "This is not your fight... perhaps you are eager to join one?" he raised his hand to his covered eye. " Steven was to afraid of what Amber was capable of, and stepped back. Amber lowered his hand and turned his back on Steven and watched at the fight continued.
Amethyst and Mica Fight Scene-
Amethyst jumped out of the hole she was in with whips in both hands. She cracked her whips at Mica. He flipped and jumped dodging most of the attacks "You use whips?! That's cool, mine are almost like whips but more deadly!" he shouted getting slashed by a whip every so often. "Do you think this is a game?!" Amethyst shouted continuing her onslaught of attacks. Mica stopped dodging and let the whips strike him. Before the whips retreated he grabbed hold of them. "To answer your question... [his head hanged low] Yes I do!" He pulled the whips with a quick snap, sending Amethyst flying towards him. She took advantage, curled up into a ball, and dashed towards him. With almost no time to react Mica placed his hands up and caught the fury attack.
He had planted his feet into the ground but was still being pushed. Amethyst continued to spin even while being caught generating heat on Mica's hands. He grunted at the pain and punched her, she backflipped a decent distance and landed. Mica seemed to be angry. He grit his teeth as the clear portion of his arms were turning bright red. He clutched his hands and a sizzling could be heard as smoke emerged from them. "You hurt me… Now you die." he said in a low voice. A high, yet faint, pitch filled the air. Light emitted behind Mica as two daggers shot out of his back, both of which were attached to chains. They flew high into the air. Suddenly, they changed directions and swung towards Amethyst at amazing speeds. She dashed out of the way, but the daggers seemed to follow her. She used her whip to grab hold of one of the daggers and changed its course back to Mica.
He raised his arm and wrapped it around the chain that connected to the dagger. Amethyst watched as he moved his arm slightly and the dagger stopped in front of his face inches away from contact. The dagger fell downwards but landed in his hand. The extra chain that laid on the floor retreated to his back. He held the dagger in his right hand with a spiral chain going up his arm. {What is he?} Amethyst thought. Mica raised his other arm and did the same with his left arm like he did with his right. Both daggers in hand with a spiral chains up his arms. Amethyst stopped moving and used her whip to grab and throw a large boulder at Mica. The boulder closed in on him and at the last second he uppercutted the boulder in half with his dagger. Once his feet made contact with the ground he disappeared. Amethyst's eyes widened as he reappeared behind her with daggers pointed at her neck. "Any last words?" Mica whispered in her ear. "Yeah…." she transformed into a snake before Mica sliced her neck. Amethyst reverted back to normal only to summon four whips.
While in the air she grabbed hold of Micas arms and legs. "This fight is over!" She yelled with her arms above her head before whipping them downwards, slamming them into the ground, sending a highly intense Violet Beam down the whips. They sent out a low pitch when closed in on Mica and caused a huge explosion. Smoke covered Mica, his dark shadow in the debris was lying down on the ground. When the smoke cloud cleared Mica was on the ground with no arms and no legs, just a torso and a head. Bruises were shown on his body as he laid with his face to the ground. Amethyst walked up to him and noticed a gem between his shoulder blades. It began to glow as his limbs reformed themselves. She stepped back as he picked himself up and stared at Amethyst, "That was some attack, too bad it didn't finish me!" He lunged at Amethyst, but missed as the whole canyon shaked. Mica and Amethyst both fell over. Mica knew where the quakes were coming from but ignored it and jumped into the air so he would stop shaking. Amethyst followed behind. Both of them summoned their weapons and swung at each other, each hitting each others attack mid air. After a long period of this they fell to the ground in a stalemate. Mica stopped at the call of Amber.
Pearl and Granite Fight Scene-
Pearl stopped tumbling. She wobbled as she got up and held her side in pain. "Is that all you got?" Granite said mockingly. "Tell you what. I won't use my weapon, how's that sound?" , "It sounds unfair." Pearl commented throwing a spear at him. Granite caught the spear "We'll see." He crushed the spear causing it to evaporate into the air. Granite took the offensive and charged at Pearl again, shaking the ground beneath him with every step. Instead of punching or tackling, he surprised Pearl with a stomp in front of her that caused the ground under her to spike up. Pearl moved with the ground and jumped into the air. Granite followed but was kicked back to the ground. Swiftly Pearl summoned another spear and pointed it toward Granite as she came slamming down. The spear connected with Granite's chest but broke on impact. [Pearl was confused] "It's going to take something much sharper to cut me lady." He grasped Pearls body and threw her off him. Pearl landed on her feet as the large gem kicked himself up. "You may be stronger than me, but you are not faster." Pearl dashed towards the brute, but he stomped down erupting a spike. Pearl jumped over it summoning a spear, although this spear was not ordinary as it seemed to be made of some sort of light energy. She slashed his cheek leaving a small cut. "Hmp, seems you found something that could cut me, but it's not enough." She landed pointing the spear at his face "It's not the largest, but it is the first of many." Pearl said with a smile.
Granite replied by smacking the spear to the side and tried for a headbutt, but she swayed around the large gem slicing and slashing at him, leaving cuts all around his body. Her plan was to weary her opponent, then when the time was right, strike the final blow. Granite seemed to grow more annoyed at the fact that Pearl was dodging and he wasn't able to land a blow on her. He swung her arm but Pearl leaped away. "What's wrong, can't hit me?" Pearl taunted him. "I'm done with you!" Granite yelled. The jagged gem on his shoulder glowed, a staff emerged out of his gem. Using his right hand he grabbed the handle and extended his arm outward. Out of his gem he pulled out a maul. On one side it was flat, to hit objects with, and on the other side it had a hook pointing upward. The hook acted as a poking tool or to imitate an axe. Upon taking out the maul, he had sunk a few inches into the ground. "Forget my rule from earlier. I'm annoyed now, and I don't like to be annoyed!" He lifted his maul over his head, {This is it!} Pearl charged forward to deliver the final blow.
To her surprise the maul had come down faster than she predicted it would. He slammed the maul, sending out a shockwave that shook the whole canyon. Gem machines tipped over, others fell off the canyon walls. Pearl stumbled and fell on the floor, her balance was completely off. The ground began to crumble, break, and form all around. Granite charged at Pearl leaving footprints in the ground. He swung the maul, but missed. Pearl was about to counterattack but was thrown off her feet by another quake.
Granite had let the maul hit the floor causing the ground to shake again. {How much does that maul weigh!?} She fell onto the ground unable to get her balance. Granite's shadow covered Pearl; The maul raised above his head ready to come crashing down like Thor's hammer. She quickly rolled to the side and avoided the strike but not the shockwave. Her whole body jumped as she bounced and landed on all fours. Pearl stood up and stared down her opponent. It was brain vs brawn, and yet again, neither side was winning. Amber yelled calling Granite to his side.
"That's enough!" Amber yelled getting everyone's attention. Both Mica and Granite jumped to his side: Looking at both of them he lectured them. "Mica, you, and that purple one are evenly matched, Granite you have the upper hand but because she is so nimble you can barely hit her. You would win with those shocks but by the time that happens we would all be buried alive in this canyon, or at least what's left of it." He said looking around at the broken canyon. Craters and ground ruptures were everywhere. Some machines were on fire while others were destroyed into millions of pieces. Amber gave a sigh before stepping past his two brothers. "If I must, I will finish both of you off. Now, to make this fair you two can come at me at once." Amber looked calm as he motioned his fingers expressing "bring it on."
Amethyst and Pearl both stood side by side. "You okay?" Amethyst asked. "Y-yeah I'll manage but Amethyst, something is strange about him. The other two listen to his commands as if he were their leader. If he is their leader we can't take any chances. We need to fuse." Pearl stated. "For once I agree with you, let's do it." Both Pearl's and Amethyst's gems glowed as they danced and formed Opal. "Hmm, very impressive. Although your chances of winning are still very slim. You may still try, but I assure you, victory is in my grasp..." he raised his hand towards his hidden eye. A light began to emit from under his hand. He moved his hair and revealed an Amber gem where his left eye would be "Now let's begin."
