Emerald had just touched down on the warp pad, as Aquamarine had called it, when the shaking knocked him onto the floor. He quickly looked up, and then..everything seemed to slow down. There was...some kind of monster! He couldn't see what was happening, but then he heard Aquamarine yell out [color=00aeef]"HOWLITE!"[/color] Emerald froze for a second, spacing out with his mouth agape. It...it sounded like Howlite had been...whatever it was called. He then stopped. [i][color=00a651]Hey, it's alright! Amber came back, and I came back, so everything's gonna be fine!"[/color][/i] He had started to run over towards them when...Bloodstone walked towards them? No, he was holding something. There was Aqua's Gem, which meant...that monster must've hit her or something. Well, at least she would be back in a few....hours, hopefully? Maybe? He looked at what else there was...a bunch of pieces of...Howlite's Gem? Wait...WHAT? [color=00a651]"Wha-I mean, whahappentoHowl-"[/color] Then he remembered. Aqua had said something about....what happened to Gems when they were healing? He then froze. She had said something like [color=00aeef]Thank goodness it wasn't cracked, otherwise that would be really bad.[/color] But cracked is one thing....shattered? Emerald's flashlight-eyes came on, making sure it wasn't just some piece of rock....no. That meant...Howlite is gone? Everything else blurred out, and Emerald passed out, falling onto the somehow dustier Kindergarten floor.
