Chapter Twenty Four: Ivory Chamber
After a couple of twists and turns, the crew ran into a large, cylinder-shaped room.
The walls were polished so the light shining from above would blind the Gems.
Floating in the middle of the room was White Diamond, who had recovered from past fights.
Malachite told the Gems to hold back with fusion.
After all, just one fusion could make the Gems seem desperate.
"Not even one?"
"No."
"One dance?"
"No."
"One movement?"
"NO."
White Diamond laughed at them, summoning the bludgeon from her gem on the left shoulder.
Apatite immediately unfused, Onyx summoning his lance.
He attempted to slash through her but she was more agile.
She'd hit Onyx on his arm, where his gem was.
And it happened.
It happened fast.
Onyx retreated into his gem, clinking against the floor.
Tiger's Eye went into rage mode.
Her claws extended and practically set on fire.
She started cutting at White Diamond, who was jumping up some ledges that protruded from the side of the room.
Tiger's Eye was just as fast, finally catching up and scratching her on the back.
White Diamond yelped but kept going. She used her bludgeon to destroy ledges before Tiger's Eye could get to them, but she could also jump high.
Tiger's Eye yelled in anger before snatching White Diamond, sinking her claws into her flesh, specifically near the gem.
White Diamond screamed, retreating.
Malachite cleared the jump in one bound, bubbling the gem in a black-banded bubble.
One down.
Three to go.
…This is gonna take a while.
