A Gem at Crystal Prep

by Shadow Hero


Chapter 8- a Gem Encounter

I have been keeping my eye on Twilight after find the recently warpad being activated to make sure nothing happens. But one day.

“Have you seen Twilight?” Cadence asked as she walked up to me as I was putting away my books seeing its lunch time.

“No.. Who long has she been missing for?” I asked

“She was not in school. I asked Shinning to check if she was at home and she was not there.. You don’t think?”

“Look let's not jump to conclusion. I’ll go ask around to see I anyone has seen her.” I said with a nod we went our separate ways, her going back to her office.

I spent all most of lunch asking around getting no answer. “Hey dewb I heard you're looking for someone?” I heard Gilda voice call.  out.

I turned around and saw her leaning on a locker. “Look I don't have time to deal with you right now I-”

“I may know we're she may be.” She said eyeing her nails.

“What's the catch? I know you won't tell me without getting something in return.” I said narrowing my eyes.

“Ouch, can't I do something in the kindness of my heart.” She said took in back. “Anyway I heard her and her friend plan on going to a Hall’s abandoned scrap yard, if that helps.”

“Ok.. Thanks..” I said unsure of I should trust her, before heading to the parking lot

I opened the door and pulled out my phone to call Cadence. “I think I may know we're she is, am going to borrow your car.” I said fast hanging up faster them she could answer. I started the car and head to Hall’s scrap yard.


I parked the car far away from the scrap yard so it won't get damage.. Again.. As I walked up I saw that lock on the gate was missing, but before I could push it open a hand fell on my shoulder. Turning around I saw Indigo and Sugar Coat with a quiver full of arrows and a bow standing there. “Were here to help.” Indigo said.

“It's too dangerous to go in there.” I said

“Look we may not be Twilight's best friend and all, but we do care for one of our own…. And Cadences want us to help out.” Sugar coat said

“That too I guess…” Indigo said with a baseball bat in hand.

I looked at them and there weapons and thought to myself, ‘thoues weapons don’t stand a chance against a Gem… but.’

“So are you coming or what.” The goggle wearing girl said as she pushed open the gate with easy.

Knowing what I have learned about Indigo, that she would not give up till the task is done. So with other choice I followed closely behind.

As we walked around the scrap yard not finding anything but all of a sudden a noise caught  our attention. We turned around and saw a fused Topaz, without a second thought we were captured.

The Topaz split us up, and I was in a cage with Indigo. “Let us out you big doult.” She said banging on the bars of the cage.

“Must you be annoying.” an Aquamarine said walking up to the cage.

“Wanna piece of this shorty.” Indigo said in a threatening tone.

“Like you can take me on.” The short Gem said laughing.

“What do you want from this place?” I asked calmly trying to find out there plan, am also glad they did not notice what I am yet.

“If you must know, you are heading to the Human Zoo.” She said with a smile

“Wait, human zoo?” Indigo asked

“Am going to check on the others so keep a close eye on them.” Aquamarine said flying off.

I took the time to come up with a plan, think of know other option I let out a sigh. “This better help..” I whispered

“What he-” Indigo said as my clothes started to glow. When it die down my clothes changed into my old Crystal Gem outfit with a few changes.

“I’ll explain later.” I said felling the stare am getting. I looked at our capture who was reading herself  for battle. “Look we can do this the peaceful way or the hard way.” I said pulling out my katana.

Not waiting another second I slashed the bars apart and siced the Topaz in hafe causing it to poof. “You killed her?!” Indigo said walking out of the cage.

“I just poofed her reverting her back into her gem’s.. Look know not the time for this.” I said  shaking my head.

I walked slow around with Indigo close behind. After turning the corner we saw a cage with Twilight, Moondancer, and Sugar Coat. I ran up and slashed the bar’s. “Where did you get that, you didn't have it-”

“No time we have to get out of here.” I said interrupting Sugar Coat.

“I thought you were something else.” Aquamarines said, but before I could turn around I felt a gem destabilizer shocking me, thinking a head I dropped my Katana on the the floor before I poofed.
