Children of the Gemstones

Chapter 4 Part 3 : CyroGem

Carlos shot his eyes open and screams

"WHERE THE FUCK AM I--" Carlos glances around, realizing that he's sitting on a brown old couch with some odd clothing.
"Odd.." he says before standing up and glances around. He sees a lot of dusty certificates. He picks one of them up and reads it out loud.

Another Case Solved

Thank you,

Mr. Carlos Hernandez

For solving another impossible mystery in London.

"Holy shit.." Says Carlos

"I'M A FUCKING HOLMES RIP OFF!!" Carlos yells excitedly before he hears a knock on his door "Coming!" Carlos yells as his hologram pops out of his gem "...'To fix a mistake, you must learn from the tragedy. To solve a case, you must use your strategy' you must say the bolded sentence and let your guest finish the sentence. If they manage to finish the sentence, they are allowed to come into your secret base. If they didn't, you must force them to go."
Carlos gulps before opening the door slightly "To fix a mistake, you must learn from the tragedy."
A ponytail redhead glances at him "To solve a case, you must use your strategy." She says
"Val!!" Carlos smiles, letting her in "How did you manage to know the sentence?"
"Well..."

A few minutes ago...

The rest of the team were scattered away. Both Nathan and Eli works as London's police. Karima works as a mechanic. Val works as Carlos' 2nd in command. And the other two? They are two secret assassins.

'Guys?' Nathan asks, turning on his walkie-talkie
'Val here.' She replies, fixing her 90s cap. 'Karima is also here.' She says
'Matrix online. Mr. Max is with me.' she says
'Great. Eli's with me.' Says Nathan 'Okay hear this out. To fix a mistake, you must learn from the tragedy. To solve a case, you must use your strategy'
'What does that mean?' Max's raspy voice sends a soft shiver in Eli's spine '...Fucking hotties.' Eli murmured
'It's a passcode. Carlos is the 'Holmes Rip off' and he has a passcode. If he said 'To fix a mistake, you must learn from the tragedy', you guys should say 'To solve a case, you must use your strategy'. And he will let you in." Says Nathan, fixing his police suit
'Understood.' Says Karima, who is now fixing a piece of old car because she's a mechanic and a person asked her to fix his car, which were damaged not quite so badly.
'Val, immidiately find Carlos. Because you're his second in command.' Nathan orders
'Got it!' Says Valerie, as she went offline
'Karima, meet me and Eli near by Carlos' place.'
'Peace be with all of you.' says Karima, offline.
'I leave the rest to you, Trix. You know what to do.' Says Nathan, as he went offline
Matrix glances at his half-brother as Max glances back. Matrix puts her double swords back to It's sheaths as Max reloads his Submachine gun. Matrix gently touches the gun 'UZI. From Israel. Nice texture, and really fast. It's sad to know how slow it reloads.'
'You know a lot.' Max smiles, taking out his other Submachine gun
'That's UMP! It is fast, the reloading isn't as slow as UZI!' Matrix's eyes sparkles
Max chuckles, ruffling her hair

"So you guys didn't land from the same portal!?" Carlos glares
"Nope. Matrix wants to shut you up." Val cackles
"Why did we exchanged numbers.." Carlos murmurs
"We have to go to the nearest area near by your place." Val glances at Carlos
"...Why are you looking at me like that?"
"I'm expecting you to find a place?"
"Jesus, I don't know this place!" He yells before glancing outside his house
"... There's... A park." He says, pointing at the park
"Awesome." Val smirks before fixing her cap

As soon as both Val and Carlos arrived, both Cops glance at them
"Took you long enough." Eli rolls her eyes, looking away from a small mirror that she hold
"How did you know we're going to he here?" Carlos asks
"Sorry, forgot to told ya bout our quick update. The gem can detect your location now." Nathan laughs at bit
"Jerk." Val tched, crossing her arms

Karima then flies towards the others

...Wait a second...

"Whoa!? You're flying!" Carlos moves back as he looks at the flying OxyGem. In a suit.

"I was and am a technician. It is wise for me to use my time wisely." Karima smiles
"... I'll uh, okay." Says Carlos, not wanting to ask any shit
"Okay, our next job is to find a CyroGem." Says Nathan, glancing at his own hologram
"Hah! As if that Cyromancer guy or girl can beat this Pyromancer!" Val arrogantly points at herself.
"Yeah, water beats fire anytime." Eli smirks
"Yeah!? Let's see if you can say that when your water evaporates." Val glares
"Oh yeah!? I'll put your fire out!" Eli glares back

Then, the two arguing gem holders freezes before they collapse.
"What the..." Nathan kneels down, taking our a needle out of Eli's neck, which turns out to be the cause of them collapsing
"Don't worry, they're just sleeping." Says Matrix as both secret assassins walk out of the shadow
"...Whoa, hot." Says Carlos, eyeing down at Matrix
"...Can tell." Says Nathan, eyeing down at Max

Both assassins glare at them

"ALRIGHT! LET'S GET OUR ASSES BACK TO WORK!" Carlos yells, dragging Val by her leg as Nathan picks Eli up
"Do you both need a ride?" Karima smiles, looking at Matrix and Max
"No, I think. I'm sure we can manage." Max shrugs
"I'm with Dr. Max." Says Matrix
Karima nodded "Peace be with both of you." She says as she flies away

"This is what I am concerned about..." Max sighs, glancing at Karima
"Oh? Concerned?" Matrix tilts her head
"... She's just too kind, and I can't make her fail my class."
"You are saying Karima failed her biology class?"
"Yes, and an additional point didn't help her at all." Max frowns
Matrix sighs, although deep in her heart, she is giggling softly "I thought you said she was weird?"
"Yes she is! But she is just... So kind."
"Let's think about that later, Doc."
"Max"
"Doc."
Max chuckles "Alright, alright... Let's get the hell out of here."
Both assassins walk away passing a tree. As Matrix walks slightly faster than him, Max squint his eyes, glancing at a trail of ice.

"...Icy." Max murmurs looking away for one second before glancing back at the tree.

The tree is frozen.
