Well, here's the fourth installment! Before i begin, i just want to give a shout out to Dante Watterson for the constant reviews. Every time i see them, it makes me happy! I would also like to apologise for this chapter as ive never donena fight scene before, so it'll be a bit wordy.

Tensions were high. Sonic saw the hate on both the Gem's and Blaze's. Why did these guys hate us, what had we done? He thought to himself. Sonic got up and inwardly cursed at Blaze for her brash actions. Well, it wasntlike they weren't going to fight anyway, they took the emeralds after all.

"Fine, we're really gonna fight, huh? Lets do it to it then."Sonic said while stretching his legs. He wasn't going to lie, he was worried, these creatures held a lot chaos energy and more often than not, one with that much power weren't on the good side.

"Just be careful, okay Blaze?" Blaze ignored him, still engulfed in her raging flames. Sonic sighed and prepared himself.

Amethyst was the first to move, she slung one of her whips at Blaze, who upon contact, burnt it to ash. She then slung it at Sonic who tapped his foot inpatiently, waiting for the whip. When it was a few milometers away from his nose, he dashed at near teleportive speeds onto the top of one of the pillars. The Gems gasped at their abilities.

"They don't seem to be mere mobians. Be on you guard Gems." Garnet warned. Pearl was the second to attack, she summoned a new spear and went to strike Blaze. Blaze created her own spear made of flames and dove for thw opposing Pearl. They collided and as soon as the spears touched, they were blown back, ending up skidding on the ground with their feet. Blaze charged at her raising her spear above her head with one hand while Pearl dashed at her. Before Blaze managed to strike, the pink haired bird skid on her two knees past Blaze, turned round and stood, striking down at her. The purple feline spun around just in time to block with her spear.

"Grrr...you're pretty good, beast." Growled Pearl. Blaze simply replied with poison in her fangs.

"Don't speak to those who are above you" with that she pulled and uppercut kick into pearls jaw, who fell back on the floor. Blaze went over to her, ready to finish her off. She held her spear above her head and striked down. Pearl saw this coming and kicked the flaming stick out of her hand, which flew in the air toward Steven.

Sonic was struggling with Garnet and Amethyst. All he could do was dodge, not seeing an open area to attack. Garnet leaped at him and pulled a punch,Sonic decided it was now or never and charged his spin dash. The afro-d woman was now a few meters away and Sonic let the spin dash go, and the two collided. Small sparks of lighting emitted from the two, eventually both were knocked down. Sonic fell back but was then attacked by Amethyst. Her whips strung around his wrists, but Sonic just smirked.

"Perfect" he simply said and swung around the whips and Amethyst into Garnet. It was then that Sonic saw Steven, it looked like he was slowly running away from something. Sonic looked up and saw the flaming spear falling towards him and his pupils shrunk.

"Crap!" He dashed towards him and grabbed him. Pearl was fighting off Blaze until she saw Sonic grab Steven.

"STEVEN! STAY AWAY FROM HIM!" She screamed as Sonic jumped onto the pillar. Pearl kicked Blaze away and chased after him, but them the flaming spear hit the ground and exploded, spreading fire everywhere. Sonic saw Pearl stranded in these flames, told Steven to stay on the pillar and dashed at super sonic speeds towards Pearl. He picked her up and at the speed of light, ran away from fire.

"Blaze! Put out this fire!" Sonic called out to his friend. Blaze, who had expelled her rage, saw the fire in shock.

"I...i did that?" She questioned. She shook her head of her questioned, waved her hand and put out the fire. Pearl had just realised that the hedgehog was carrying her and jumped off then jumped up to the pillar that Steven was on.

"Are you okay?! Did it hurt you!?" She quizzed in panic.

"What? No, he saved me!"

"Thats what it wants you to think!" She checked around Stevens body and face on search of any injuries. Sonic saw this and scratched his eary with his small finger, however, as he was looking at what Pearl was doing, he didnt count on Garnet attacking him, who punched Sonic and held him high by the neck.

"Why did you bother saving him? That's not your race's type of style." She asked, aggressively.

"B..bec...because w...we aren't bad...g gu...guys" Sonic struggled. Then, Garnet simply let him go.

"Garnet, what are you doing!?" Amethyst shouted

"He's telling the truth." Garnet stated. Amethyst gave an face of utter disbelief. Sonic fell to the ground.

"T...thanks..." he said as he rubbed his neck (does he even have one?)

Blaze saw this and lowered her guard, sadly Pearl didn't and the next thing Blaze or Sonic knew, she dived towards the fallen hedgehog in attempts to kill him. Despite not trusting the hedgehog, Amethyst knew that Garnet knew what she was doing and wrapped her whipps around Pearls spear, throwing it away.

"Amethyst! What do you think you're doing!?" She shouted at her. Garnet just raised her hand in front of her.

"Pearl, its okay" she helped up the hedgehog off of the floor. Blaze jumped over to the group.

"Right...you guys have some explaining to do. Why attack us? Why steal the emeralds?" Pearl looked disgusted.

"Us steal the emeralds? Hmph, you have that round the wrong way." Sonic thanked Garnet and confronted Pearl.

"I dont think we stole em. They've been with us for about four thousand years, maybe even longer." He explained.

"Well, itll interest you to know, that we Gems were the creators of these emeralds!" Pearl responded, shocking both Sonic and Blaze.

Yay chapter 4 is done...i kinda felt a bit lazy with this, might even re write it, hehe...anyway, until chapter five, dont forget to review and follow!
