Journey for The 10 Gemstones

Prison and Mullet Hair

Me and Noah were now trapped inside a seemingly infinite labyrinth of dungeons, all designed to host wanted criminals from different nations in a maximum security prison system. Yard time was 30 minutes, and we were stuck here for an eternity.

We also had a fellow inmate, She had a purple-haired mullet, calculating blue eyes and seemingly that of a scavenger as she began to test out two dual arcane pistols. She began to shoot it at walls, making pew pew noises. Noah was just rolling around anxiously, his eyes blank in fear.

I was the only normal one there, so I should probably interact with one of them. I was trying to sleep until the purple-haired mullet girl said

" Ay dude. What are you in jail for? I got jailed for blasting some random village. "

I'd nod, saying

" I wasn't even supposed to be here in the first place. It's just that my friend, Noah over there destroyed the entire city of Vale using the Sand Gemstone. I wanted to accompany him, we will always stick together. "

The mullet girl whistled in response, as if shocked in awe.

" He destroyed Vale?! Wow. I wonder what the sand gemstone is like... But I must say, Your bond of friendship is unbreakable. But eh? I had a similar friend. It's just... Ugh. I won't explain it. "

I'd now nod in understanding and pat her back.

" It's okay girl, You can just, not talk about it if you don't want. "

The mullet girl responds with an affirming smile.

" No one has been this positive to me before, Name's Evian. How about you? "

I nod back and smiled.

" Glenn. It's a pleasure to meet you in the darkest of times. But I know we can make an escape, somehow. Also, Can I borrow your "pew pews? "

Evian seemed hesitant at first, but reluctantly gave me the arcane pistols. Its purple light shines and illuminates through the prison.

Suddenly, Yard Time is up.

I'd now walk through the vast labyrinth of prison hallways. Seeing guards on every corner. Noah was following me, yet his expression seemed more blank and sorrowful.

I'd now pat him on the back.

" You may have destroyed the city, But the Empyreans were too strong! So you've technically saved the City from the rule of those cruelish Empyreans. And Howard? Psh! He's just a handsome knight with rich privilege training. "

Noah's mood seemed to lighten up. We walked into the central hall, which was a mainstream, peaceful garden. Yet the inmates seemed intimidating.

Suddenly, A group of in-mates would come in.

An inmate, Seemingly the leader would hold a baseball bat, laced with nails.

" Ay, Give me your food over there? Lil' chump needs it otherwise he can chomp you up. "

He then points to a gigantic, tattooed man who was fat. Yet intimidating. Yet Evian was a daredevil, and pointed her dual arcade pistols at them.

" Ay, Don't you forget who has superior weaponry! "

She suddenly shoots a barrage of arcane bullets in rapid succession, each landing its mark on the wall or the inmates.

The leader then says in an amused manner, he seems to be... Grinning?! He then points his baseball bat at her, before landing a blow striking Ezian. But a barrier of sand swept through her and somewhat created a temporary sand forcefield. Which temporarily dropped.

Noah then used his sand magic from the sand gemstone to try and dash through the shadows as a sandy silhouette, But one of the inmates caught him just in time.

A prison brawl breaks out, With Evian launching barrages of arcane bullets as she spun around like a maniac. She even chuckled before dashing towards the inmates and blasting one of them off.

The sounds of arcane bullets hitting their mark were echoing throughout the air, and the constant groans of inmates and chuckles of Evian echoed through the air.
She was a madman from what I knew...

I slightly retreated back, and Evian winked at me and whispered.

" Tan-skinned sand mage and Glenn! Go investigate! "

Noah nodded in response, yet his expression seemed more blank as ever. He was morally grey after this. Before I vanished and became a sand silhouette, but this was just temporary. So I've gotta use my steps gracefully.

I continued to float around and dash past guards as a sand silhouette, as only a blur and glimmer of me dashed through. I explored various cells, Hoping for an exit. But the exit, was chained to gosh darn bits by magical padlocks, and there were anti-magic guards everywhere.

Suddenly, I get blasted by one of the special anti-magic guns, revealing my sand silhouette.

A guard then says

" Bone for a bone, another prisoner. Bring 'em to the torture chamber. "

A torture what?! Echoed through my mind. I wasn't gonna give up that easily, but the sand silhouette gave me a buff after it wore off. It allowed me to attack faster, launch more heavy blows.

I now began to rush at the guards, kicking them down and using my agility to take them down. But it was a struggle due to my lack of training. But due to the received buffs, I managed to tackle some guards before running away, soaring through the hallways. Leaving a faint dash of sand.

I then began to walk to the so called "Torture Chambers" and oh boy. It was tortured screams, buzzing of iron razors, smacking, beating sounds, and muffled screams of inmates. Occasionally there was a crunching of bones, Before agonizing screams echoed through.

Suddenly, I saw a taming area nearby. For... Unusual creatures. Like aggressive, gigantic bugs, majestic fire wolves, dragons in captivity, and most importantly a Cerberus dog. A 3-headed dog. I knew this can be a way to distract the guards, but how can I turn on the cages.

I continued to sneakily go though the hallways, the silent tapping of iron boots, the chattering of guards, and the quiet, muffled screams of tortured inmates next door.

I continued my silent journey, before arriving inside a control panel room. Which had all sorts of settings. I then pressed a few buttons, and suddenly. Alarms went blaring, barking and wild roars of animals were heard, and the muffled screams of guards echoed through the air. It was a chaotic madhouse out there from what I've heard. Now I just have to get back to Ezian and Noah without getting mauled to bits and slip in water sprinklers.

I was dodging rabid dogs, rabid gigantic flying spiders and the screaming and panicking guards attempting to find back, I also slipped in water sprinklers and got over run by loose horses, the screaming was everywhere as I continued to dash through. My mind was racing with thoughts, each hallway being deeper than the other to go to the Central Hall.

I safely reached the Central Hall, and nodded to Ezian and Noah who was still standing there.

Ezian chuckles and has a hint of frustration.

" Great. You've unleashed the entire apocalypse onto this jail, But hey. Atleast you've got the exits unlocked. "

Floods of inmates ran through the hallways, it was a madhouse. Some were getting mauled and beaten by the wild animals, some tripping and getting crushed by the running inmates, and the agonizing screams of guards trying to stop the floods of inmates bursting and breaking through the gateways.

The crunching and the constant tapping of shoes, and finally. The door bursts open, even breaking down as we were finally let loose in the prison.

But one problem.... We don't know where do we go.
