GoldenLatias6 Charm! Jewel Story!
Before we begin...
Last time, Tails discovered a plan of Lilia's. It involved a creation called 11 (since it was the eleventh model created at the evil factory) infiltrating an academy as part of a group of new students. The group decided to check out the Sunshine Academy first, but there was an explosion at the academy! Why? Well, let's go to the school just an hour and ten minutes before the explosion..
Sunshine Academy, a place to help students learn about the world and discover what they'll be in the future. The learning facility was founded by Angelina, Jewelina's mother, who descended from heaven to continue her mission to spread joy. But tonight... uh... tonight (it is still the night week)... three Jewelpets will have to face a tough lesson... loss
Dolphin's class hadnt been the same since the Jewelpet students went to Jewel Manor. Hinata missed them just as much as Kanon, even though the girl tried to hide it.
"Now listen up!" Dolphin said in a loud, firm voice that got everyone's attention. He pointed at the chalkboard as he began to teach. "Today, we're going to learn about the Aqua Pets! No relation to Aqua the Jewelpet. The Aqua Pets all represent different animals and life underwater." He motioned to Kanon to turn off the lights and Hinata to turn on the projector as he lowered the projection screen.
The projector showed different slides of underwater animals, ranging from freshwater to saltwater, and they share similarities with the Jewelpets. One slide shows a black-and-white penguin with a pebble necklace. "This Aqua Pet is known as Pebble. He's very sensitive about being laughed at! I heard he left the water because of being laughed at."
Another slide shows a light blue dolphin with bright lavender eyes. "Before you ask, Bubbles and I are not related! Nuh-uh! Next slide!"
The next slide shows a beautiful fair-skinned mermaid: she had a beautiful tail with shimmering blue and green scales, pearl bracelets on both her wrists, a necklace of pink seashells that floated above her two magenta shells on her chest, and long sky-blue hair with an orange starfish accessory. "Now this knockout beauty of the sea is Sirena, Sy-reen-a, the leader of the Aqua Pets. Now--"
The lecture was cut off as the lights flickered and the projector shut off. Suddenly, Bean appeared virtually on the screen. Not just there, all the classes, the cafeteria, the staff room, everywhere a monitor was he appeared.
"Psst! Bean, we're rolling pen-pen," an unknown voice whispered. Bean heard them. "Now? Okay!" Bean responded and began to speak. "Students, staff, and everyone else at Sunshine Academy, I am Bean the duck. I admit that might be crazy." As he said 'crazy' he let his right eye pupil roll around a bit. "But I also happen to be a demolitions expert! That's right! I love making things go BOOM!" He held out a detonator with a red button. "As you all slept last night, I placed timed bombs all over the academy, lots of them. As soon as I press this button, you'll all have one hour to get past the gates. Remember, don't try being a hero; it would take over two hours to find them... if you know where to find them that is!" He accidentally pressed the button on the detonator. He noticed his mistake. "Aw nuts! I had more to say! Oh well, say 'So long, Sunshine Academy!' folks! Press that button and cut!" The video turned to static as a red timer appeared on every screen in the academy. Panic screams echoed as everyone rushed out of the building.
Hinata, trying to stay calm, helped with evacuation. Kanon managed to sneak back to her dorm room and packed some things. The last thing she grabbed were three frames each with a photo. The first one was of her and her friends, including Ruby. The second was of her with a teen boy who looked similar to her. The final was a group shot that included her entire class along with Charolette, Ruby, and Granite; the boy wasn't in that shot. Hinata ran into the room. "Kanon! We don't have time to pack!" she shouted. "I just wanted to save my important things!" Kanon protested. Hinata grabbed her wrist and pulled her out of the door. As Hinata dragged her out, Kanon took one last look at her dorm room, where she and her previous roommate shared many memories together.
Outside the academy gates, Angelina counted everyone who had made it out. One of the kids pushed Dolphin's tank towards her. "Lady Angelina!" Dolphin called out. "Two of my students aren't here!" "We're coming!" Hinata called out. The two girls ran to the other side of the gate just as the timer beeped zero.
BOOM!!
The Twins of the Destroyed Academy
(Now we go to the present)
Everyone stood sad and heartbroken as the rubble that was once the Sunshine Academy. The fires caused by the bombs had just been put out by the fire fighters, but there was nothing left of the building but rocks, rubbish, and cinders... nothing more...
A demented laugh echoed as everyone looked up. On a hovering disk, Bean floated down doing a silly victory dance. "Jewelilia will be so happy with me! I destroyed the Sunshine Academy! And boy was it awesome! Bada Boom! Bada Boom! Bada Boom Boom Boom!" he cheered. He then stopped dancing and looked at everyone with a smile. Of course, they all gave him nothing but glares. "Hey, we're trying to dampen our enemies' fighting spirit." He pulled out a dull lime gem. (Uh oh!) "But I am not done yet. Oh-ho no." He threw the gem into the air.
Demonic Flare!
The gem turned into a Gemdemon: a black moose with big sharp red antlers. "Did you know that moose are extremely vicious and territorial?" Bean asked with glee as his eye twitched. "Well Bully Moose now claims this area as his territory and you're all tresspassing! Bully Moose, evict them, permanently!" The Gemdemon let out a loud bellow and charged towards them. "Everybody run!" Dolphin screamed. Students and staff ran around the area trying to avoid the monster. Kanon tripped and got her foot stuck in some rocks. Bean noticed her. "Hey, Bully Moose, I found an easy target!" he declared. The Gemdemon turned and charged towards her. Kanon tried to pull out her foot, but it was stuck tight. Her eyes trembled with fear as the monster came closer...
Rose Charm!
Suddenly, a blue portal appeared in the sky. Amy jumped out, her hammer at the ready, and Ruby perched on her shoulder.
Ruby Slam!
Amy's hammer made a big BONK sound as it smashed into the Gemdemon. The monster bellowed and changed back to a sparkling gemstone. Kanon's eyes widened in awe as Amy landed in front of her and turned to face her. Ruby had a smile on her face. "Are you okay, Kanon?" she asked.
Bean's beak had dropped when the pair appeared he broke out of his shock and stamped his left foot. "No fair! No fair!" he repeated over and over faster each time. He then noticed the rest of the heroes jumped out of the portal and landed on the ground. Sonic looked at Bean and wagged his finger. "Tsk tsk tsk, you threw a party and didn't invite us? Oh Bean, you know we love the parties you guys throw." Sonic taunted. "Well, you missed the main event and I accomplished my goal. So the Bad guys win today!" Bean declared as he did a ridiculous victory pose. He then realized something. "I mean, tonight..." He shook off his sudden awkwardness as he pulled out a purple grenade. "And I promised to bring more bombs!" As he said that last word, he pulled the pin out... actually, the pin was stuck.
As Bean struggled to pull out the pin, Knuckles' eyes widened in realization. "Oh no! That bomb is full of sleeping gas!" he warned as he turned to the others. "I've heard about this from Espio. Whatever you do, don't breathe the gas!" "Got it!" Bean declared when he finally removed the pin. "Sweet dreams!" Bean threw the bomb and floated away on his hover disk. As Knuckles predicted, the bomb let out sleeping gas. Though everyone took his advice, their eyelids grew heavy. "Don't breathe it! The amount is heavier than usual!" Knuckles demanded as he covered his face with his hands. Ruby however, took too much in and fell to the ground asleep.
At some point later, Ruby wakes up to find herself in a sleeping bag inside a tent. Granite is beside her sleeping bag and smiles as she wakes up.
"Granite, what happened?" she asked. "You breathed in Bean's sleeping gas," he told her. "While you were out, we built a campsite." Ruby got up and ran outside, where she saw a multitude of tents. Past the tents, she saw a sight that froze her with horror and shock: the ruins of Sunshine Academy. Granite walked over to her with a solemn expression on his face. "I know how you feel," he sympathized. "What.. What happened here!?" she suddenly shouted in horror.
"That crazy duck is what happened," she heard Dolphin respond. The pair turned to see Amy, Charotte, Dolphin, Kanon, and Hinata, who was pushing Dolphin's tank. Ruby smiled and waved. "Hi Hinata! Kanon! Dolphin sensei!" she called out. Kanon held a stern face while Hinata smiled and laughed nervously as she awkwardly waved back. Dolphin gave an exhausted sigh. "You haven't changed much," he sighed. "Amy, what happened while I was asleep?" Ruby asked. Amy walked over and scooped the little bunny into her arms as she hugged her.
"Well, most of the students and staff went back home to their families. The folks in a nearby town heard the explosions and provided everyone remaining here with food and camping gear," Amy told Ruby in a comforting way. She knew Ruby was trying to hide her sadness. "Don't worry, Ruby, Miss Lil' Lina's already making arrangements for all the students and staff to move to her school," Hinata assured Kanon. Without a word, Kanon walked over to Amy and snatched Ruby from her arms. "What do you think you're doing!?" Amy shouted angrily.
Kanon held Ruby at arm's length as she gave the rabbit a spiteful look. "You said that you wanted to help Jewel Land, but you let him do all this destruction!" she spat. Ruby's eyes widened in shock as she started to sadly tremble. "But we managed to get here to stop the Gemdemon," Ruby whimpered. Kanon allowed her tears to fall as she continued her rant. "He came here because of you! You! He said that you were the reason he destroyed the place where we all shared many memories together! He did it just because of you! YOU DESTROYED THE SCHOOL!!" Amy, having heard enough of the rant, snatched Ruby from Kanon and held the shivering bunny close to herself.
Granite suddenly pounced on Kanon, sending her to the ground. She looked at the lion in shock as he approached her face with a serious expression. "Don't you dare blame Ruby for this!" he warned her. Kanon's face grew angry as she growled. "You stay out of this, Mikage!" she responded. Granite looked shocked; she had just called him something he hadn't heard in a long time. He then calmly closed his eyes, got up, and turned his back to her. "Just because I have a new name and appearance, doesn't change who I am," he calmly reminded her and walked into Ruby's tent, closing the flap behind him.
"Ruby, what was all that about?" Amy asked, confused. Ruby didn't hear her; she was still shaking from what Kanon had just said. Charotte flew up to Amy and whispered something in her ear. "What!? Hold on! Granite used to be a human boy named Mikage, Kanon's twin brother."
Amy gave a scream in realization. As she did, the photo of Kanon and the boy fell out of Kanon's pocket; this meant that the boy was really Mikage, who was actually Granite! (Crazy, right?)
Eyecatch
Ruby's charm appears. It changes into Ruby.
Eyecatch
Granite's charm appears. It changes into Granite.
A while later, in her tent, Kanon is sitting up in her sleeping bag, looking at her three photos in a silent show of sadness. In Ruby's tent, Ruby, who had gotten over the shock, was silently looking at Granite with concern. He hadn't moved from his spot as he continued to contemplate everything that had happened.
Meanwhile, the others except Amy and Charotte were talking with Angelina. "There hasn't been any new students since before Lilia took over, not even any transfers," Angelina stated as she slowly shook her head. They looked at her with sad looks. She noticed their sympathy and gave a small sad smile. "Don't worry. My eldest daughter will take in my students and faculty at her school when the renovations are complete." "What about Miss Angelina? What will you do?" Cream wondered. Angelina turned around to look at the starry sky with her sad smile. "Knowing that everyone is safe and proper arrangements have been made," she began as she held back tears, "I must return to heaven." The group gasped in shock. She turned to them. "Don't worry, I'll be watching you all from above. All I ask is that you stop Lilia and help the lost soul find release," she calmly requested as she disappeared in a light of sparkles. The last part confused them... what lost soul? "Guys! You'll never believe this!" Amy called out as she ran over to them with Charotte flying beside her. Their arrival snapped the group out of their thoughts.
(Amy tells them about Granite)
"Tell me this isn't a joke!" Knuckles responded. The pair shook their heads no. As the others voiced over, we see Ruby started to approach Granite, who was still thinking. "But why would Mikage choose to become a Jewelpet?" Tails asked. Granite suddenly took noticed as he suddenly felt something warm. He turned to see Ruby embracing him. Her eyes are closed and she wore a loving smile and pink blush. "Because... He and Ruby love each other," Amy said as Granite smiled warmly and returned the embrace.
Meanwhile, at Jewel Palace, Trip stealthfully snuck up to the door of the throne room and quietly cracked it open. They saw the Hooligans talking with Lilia. (Looks like Trip wasn't invited to this meeting)
"Even though we lost a Gemdemon, I destroyed the school!" Bean declared. "Maybe, but why did you do that?" Fang asked. "To break our enemies' fighting spirits of course!" Bean answered. "Knowing them, they'll cheer up those emotionally hurt by all this real soon." Bark criticized. "Regardless, you did a great job, Bean." Lilia praised as Bean puffed with pride. "So how many casualties were there?" The duck froze up in response to her question. "Z... Zero?" he squeaked. Lilia glared at him. "They all escaped!?" Lilia retorted. "Uh well um err uh," Bean stuttered. "No bloody corpses?! No decapitated heads!? No burn scars!?" Lilia yelled. The Hooligans gave looks of disgust in response. Trip however, covered their mouths and ran off.
(Author's note: That's why this is rated T... urp... so gross)
Lilia took a deep breath as she returned to her fake sweet self. "Maybe next time, okay?" she requested. The Hooligans looked a little nervous.
"Lady Jewelilia! I've made a discovery pen-pen!" a new voice chirped. From the doorway, a small black and white bird flew in (via jetpack) and jetted over to her. In his flippers, he held her crystal ball. "What is it, dearie?" she asked. "I think they're onto us." The bird stated as he began to rub the crystal ball. "I found this while deleting your previous calls from ball storage. Watch closely pen-pen." Lilia peered into the ball closely as it showed her last video call to Ralph. The bird used his flipper to zoom in on the ceiling window. Lilia gasped in realization as she saw Tails sneak in.
"That two-tailed furry brat! They know about 11!" she growled in response. The bird stopped the record. "I bet that why they arrived at Sunshine so quickly," Bean repsonded. "We must make a plan to stall them before they find the right academy," Lilia declared. "Well, I know how to make them choose the wrong place and stay there pen-pen," the bird suggested. He flew up to her and whispered his idea. Based on her expression, it appeared that she liked it. She then held the bird in her arms and began to stroke. "What an excellent plan. What would I do without you... Pebble?" Pebble, the Aqua Pet Penguin, looked at us with a devilous sneer...
Meanwhile, Ruby and Hinata led Granite and Kanon back to the school gate. The girls urged them to talk. "There's something--" the siblings began but stopped when they realized they spoke at the same time. "You first," Granite requested.
Kanon gave out a deep sigh and began to talk. "I'm... very sorry, to you and to Ruby. I should've known that fowl duck used you as an excuse. He's the one to blame for all of this. I thought you would comfort and support me since... to me, you are still my dear brother Mikage." Tears fell from her face as she said those last words.
Granite allowed his tears to pour as he began his apology. "I'm sorry too. I know now how much my decision to become a Jewelpet affected you. My love for Ruby still burns strong, and I don't regret my decision, but that doesn't mean the bond that binds us together as family isn't broken. I mean, when Lilia invaded our home just a few days after I returned as Granite... no, that's no excuse... I should've discussed this with you before I went to Angelina. I--" Kanon held her hand out to motion him to stop. She slowly shook her head and held her pinky finger out.
"Promise? Twins forever?" She asked with a smile. Granite gave a happy smile with teary eyes as he wrapped his pinkie claw around her finger. "Twins forever. I promise," he said as they shook on it. Hinata and Ruby beamed with pride.
AAAAAHHH!!!
Garnet's scream ruined the precious moment. Kanon, Granite, and Ruby held annoyed faces because... "Oh well, duty calls," Ruby sighed. "Bye girls!" she called out as she hopped away. As Hinata waved, Kanon motioned Granite to go with her. Without a word, he ran off to catch up with Ruby. Kanon gave a warm smile as she watched him go. The twins may have chosen different life paths, but they will always be twins forever. And no amount of magic will ever ever ever change that...
