Children of the Gemstones

Chapter 2 Part 3 : 2nd IntellectGem Holder

P.S : Yes, I took Connor from Detroit Become Human as the lecturer. We all want a lecturer like him. Credit to the artist.

"Eli..."
"...son!?"
"...zabeth.."

"Elizabeth Watson!"

The sound of an almost yell woke Elizabeth up from possession. The world's spinning, but her vision is not blurry. She can notice that she's laying down on the floor and She can see this one person who wake her up.

It's her.

"Good. Took you 5 minutes to wake up." The InsanityGem holder speaks. Behind her are her friends. Karima, Valerie and Carlos who's abdomen is bandaged. "...Where... am I...?" Eli asked "The class." Val answered, helping her up. "What? Where is everyone else?" Eli looked around "I asked the lecturer to dismiss them quite early so that I can wake you up using the gem. Just for your information, no one should saw us using the gem." Trix explained. Eli rolled her eyes as Carlos' gem starts to glow, poppin' the hologram.

"It's true, Eli." Said Carlos "It says here, gem holders are not allow to reveal their gems towards the earth. Which is why, in order to save their people, they need someone to bring them to another dimension, fighting another gem holder who is using their gems incorrectly, and kill them once and for all."

"Basically, you don't need to kill the holder. All you need to do is to crack the gem." Trix explained more as another hologram pops out, explaining the exact thing that Matrix is telling "...That's.. also true." Said Carlos.

"Eli's awake, huh?" The lecturer came in, and Carlos immediately hide his gem "Y-Yes, Mr..." The lecturer laughed at Carlos' actions "Don't worry. I'm not going to tell anyone. I haven't even introduce myself to the kids, have I?" The lecturer smiled "You haven't even told us. So, no." Val said, letting her gem glows "You need to know our drill as a holder. Once you spot us, we'll eliminate you." Matrix speaks as a hologram pops out of Carlos' gem, revealing the same information "...Okay, who the hell is the holder of IntellectGem now!? I feel unworthy." Carlos yelled.

"Gems, huh?" The lecturer speaks as he shows a very similar glowing light blue gem as Carlos' "You mean this kind of gem?" The gem that the lecturer shows cause the other gem holders--except for Matrix--gasped. "...You're... a gem holder...!?" Val gasped

"Yes, oh and by any ways, it's Nathan. Jonathan Brown. Totally not related with Chris Brown. No. Not at all." Said the lecturer. "Every each gems had at least two holders except for some specific ones such as InsanityGem and Sanitygem." Nathan explained "...That gem. So you're actually the 2nd IntellectGem holder..?" Carlos asked, tilting his head. "Now that's where you're wrong." Nathan smiles a bit "You, are the 2nd. I am the 1st." This caused Carlos to gasped dramatically.

After knowing that Jonathan is a gem holder, Karima invited him and all of the gem holder to her house for a so-called tea party while they're discussing about the gems and places to go.

Karima is preparing the tea while Carlos is still quite surprised about him being the second gem holder. Valerie is testing Eli's make ups--which Eli allow--and both Nathan and Matrix are talking.

"InsanityGem, huh? Special." Nathan complimented "It was a lucky draw." Matrix replied. Nathan leans against a table and smiled, offering his hand to her "May I?" Matrix look at him and held his hand, and slowly closing her eyes.

Slowly, Matrix can feel her gem glowing blue as Nathan's glows red. It went like that for a few minutes until Matrix breaks the glow just by opening her eyes. Both Nathan and her meet each other's eyes, which cause both of them to blush.

Nathan clears his throat and invites her to sit with the others "Shall we?" He smiled. Matrix looked at him, nodding her head.

As soon as everyone is sitting on their chairs, Carlos begins "Anything new, Matrix?" Matrix looked at him and speaks "1st, about the dimension. I wouldn't call this a 'dimension'. I prefer to call it as a previous era." She said as Karima passed her a cup of tea, which Matrix gladly accepts.

"I will send all of us to different eras such as the China's Dynasty or World war 1. Sending us to another planet is also possible." Matrix explained, sipping her tea. "Talking about other planets," Nathan started "I've made an upgrade for yout gems. Just slightly shake your gems and you will be able to breath in any planets. Your gems will take as many oxygen it can held. And the moment you've shake your gems, the gem will transfer it's oxygen so that you can breath." Nathan explained. "...You can upgrade our gems!?" Carlos nearly yelled. This cause Nathan to laughed. "Hernandez, listen. We, as the IntellectGem holders, are worthy enough to upgrade any gems we want." Nathan smiled "...Well, that's new." Carlos raised his eyebrow.

Soon, both Nathan's and Carlos' hologram pops out, telling them that they need to move to a dimension. "We need to move." Said Carlos. Matrix nodded, letting her left eye went pitch black.

Everything went white.

Really white.

They can't see anything but each other.

Even when they talk, none can hear each other.

Everything went normal as soon as Matrix's eye went normal.

Well, not THAT normal.

"Are you guys okay...?" Eli asked "I may need to think about that." Karima looked around "Eli, what are you wearing!?" Val looked at Eli, as Eli glance at her dress "...Looks like a traditional Chinese dress... Suitable for battle." Eli smiled, liking her dress "And, hey! I got a weapon! I think it's a... spear?" She glanced on her spear, which she is holding. "Val! You look great too!" Eli smiled as Val glanced on her dress "I like it. And..." She took out her dagger "Dagger is SO me." Val smirked. Karima look at her dress before looking at her weapon, which is a fan "...Interesting..." Karima speaks.

Both Nathan and Carlos and hitting of the dusts on their armor "Heavy," Nathan complains as he held his double sword "Tight," Carlos too, looking at hid single sword. "Charming..." Both Val and Eli whined in a lovely tone. Indeed, both men are looking really attractive.

"We need to rush up. Hurry." A loud but not a yell voice of Matrix attracts their attentions. Karima gasped softly "Williams, I shall be honest, your suit is really suitable." Karima speaks. Both Eli and Val are annoyed by Karima true sentance while the boys, they're enjoying tue view.

Matrix flips her weapon, which is an axe "Thank you." Said she. "Oh and anyway,"

"Welcome to the China Dynasty."
