Ah, Beach City, a beautiful seaside human settlement, more than a few gems had visited at one point or another, be it with good intentions or bad. But tonight everything was quiet, one might even say peaceful...or so it seemed.
Up on the hill that overlooked the town can be heard hurried footsteps as a figure rushed towards the top in such a frantic hurry they fell multiple times grasping at the grass and other small plants to keep themselves from falling back down the slope. Just as they reached the top, moonlight came out from behind the clouds revealing the figure that was now looking down at the city from the hill top. Rainbow Moonstone looked to the human settlement below her, the last time she had been here it had been a strange but pleasant experience but this time hadn't been from accidental discovery but for help. As the moonlight fell over her form fully it was clear to see something was wrong, her beautiful white dress was in tatters, a mixed mud and grass stains having long turned it to the brownish green it was now,her light blue skin held countless small scrapes and scratches and her hair, as pale as the moon itself was now a complete mess,leaves and twigs sticking out in odd places,it was clear she had been fighting or running from something and now in her panic had taken a wrong turn and now she had nowhere to go. The sound of a deep growl made her turn to face the reason she had been in such a panic. Standing ten feet or so from her stood a corrupted gem, something of a mix between a saber-toothed cat and an armadillo, thick armored plating going from just above its nose revealing that it seemed to have no means of sight all the way down to its tail where it ended in a nasty-looking spiked ball. For hours she had been in a mix of fighting and retreat of this thing and now it seemed she was trapped. It rose its head sniffing at the air for a moment before turning towards her and gave another deep growl before jumping high into the air, curling into a tight ball only to come speeding down on top of her.
Luna barely dodged just as it landed creating a loud boom and dust cloud,but as she tried to shield her eyes from the dirt flying up only for the wind to be knocked out of her as it uncurled and sung its tail with such force it sent her flying back towards the edge of the hilltop and the dangerously long fall on the other side,the only thing stopping her was the last minute summoning of her staff digging it deep into the earth to slow and stop herself just as she reached the edge. Looking down at the city her eyes filled with sadness, she would never make it down and this gem was just too powerful even if she could...Seeing no other option the mute gem swallowed her fear and stood shakily before lifting her staff slightly before the bubble sphere on top seemed to melt, then split into two segments one staying at the top and one moving to the bottom morphing and hardening to become a two ended scythe. If this is where it was to end...she wasn't going to make it easy. With gritted teeth, she began to force as much of her stored light as possible into the two blades, the blades quickly growing hot enough to create steam in the cool night air and enough light that it was easy to see from the town. Suddenly she rushed forward and spinning her scythe with great speed she watched as the beast like gem rushed to meet her. The resulting collision of the blade to enemy created an explosion so loud it could have easily awoken the city, as well as a shining beacon of white light that stretched high into the sky it could be seen for miles around.
