How the Change has Timed

The Final Showdown

Scott's Perspective-

Scott woke up by an owl flying in his room.

It's too early for this. Scott thought as he picked up the letter.

'Dear Scott,

I found the perfect crystal. It would be best to encase him today, but I don't know how to summon him. If you do, please let me know.

-Gem.'

I never thought of that. How would we summon him?

Scott got up and wrote Gem back about meeting later.

He got dressed, ate some breakfast that Lumi had made for him, and set off towards the corruption crystals.

They would probably release lava soon after Xornoth was crystallized.

"Hey, Scott!"

Scott heard someone shout his name and turned around.

Jimmy was waving at Scott.

Scott blushed and headed over to Jimmy.

"Hi, Jimmy! What's up?" Scott asked him.

Jimmy hugged Scott, "I just needed to get away."

"From what?" Scott asked, hugging back.

"My dad," Jimmy sighed, "He's acting like shit and is saying that I should find a wife soon."

"Did you tell him...?"

"No. He would kick me out if I said anything."

"What if I go with you? He probably won't be too mad with a guest over."

"But if I tell him that it's you, I'm dating..."

"What if I just wait there. Like in the village."

Jimmy stopped hugging Scott, "Yeah, okay."

Scott noticed that Jimmy was looking nervous and kissed him.

"Let me finish up with these crystals and we can go."

"What are you doing?" Jimmy asked, changing the subject.

"I'm trying to convert them to be good. Like un-lava."

"Do you need help?"

"I think I got it. I discovered a book yesterday talking about spells and stuff. And one of them said that you could brew a potion that can change evil."

Jimmy nodded.

"It said that you could end evil with peace and friendship, so I think I just have to combine some things from my allies."

Jimmy nodded once more and followed Scott.

-

"Woah." Jimmy said, watching Scott pick up five potions.

"Think this'll work?" Jimmy asked.

"I'm not sure, but I hope so." Scott said, and he flew off, splashing a potion on each crystal.

When he finished, he landed and watched the crystals.

But after ten minutes,

"Nothing." Scott mumbled sadly.

"Hey, I'm sure it'll work." Jimmy said, grabbing Scott's hand.

"Yeah... come on, let's go talk with your dad."

"No, we don't have too."

"Jimmy, please... I want to help you."

Jimmy and Scott were silent, staring into each other's eyes.
