"You can either leave earth, tell your dumb boss to give me back my family and never come back, or I can just as easily make this planet your grave!" Robert yelled.

"Hmmm, let me think. Topaz, should I be frightened by this lowly human?" Aquamarine asked, sarcastically.

Topaz remained silent. The fire in Robert's eyes grew brighter.

"Yeah, I didn't think so either," said Aquamarine.

Robert grinned. "Your funeral," he said as he swiftly swung his sword, creating a shockwave that struck Aquamarine. The blue gem is sent flying into a streetlight. Topaz tried to grab Robert, but he used her as a stepping stone to jump to Aquamarine. Robert charged his fist with electricity as he punched her to the ground. Aquamarine quickly got up and tried to force Robert into a building, but he kicked off the building and landed safely on the ground.

Aquamarine tried again, only this time, Robert slammed into the ground. When Robert got up he spit blood on the street and popped his neck, and sent his lightning to strike Aquamarine down. Topaz charged at Robert, and Robert slid under her feet. "You're my birthstone, and I'm sure you don't want to do Aquamarine's bidding, so consider yourself lucky." Robert said as he charged at Aquamarine. Topaz stood still and stared at her feet.

Robert quickly swiped his sword at Aquamarine until he finally made a successful strike on her chest, making her drop like a fly. Robert took this opportunity to put a foot on her, making sure she doesn't escape. "You're quite the unruly fighter. Are you sure you're not an Amethyst in disguise?" Aquamarine puffed, Robert kneeled down on her, increasing his weight. Aquamarine tried reaching for her wand, but Robert snatched it and snapped it in half.

"Wands are for wimps!" he said in a noticeably deeper voice than his own.

"That's enough," said Topaz, pushing Robert back.

"Listen, in case you haven't noticed-" Topaz cuts him off by summoning her weapon and slamming it down on Aquamarine's form, instantly poofing her.

"I've been wanting to do that for eons," said Topaz. Robert smiled, the dark aura surrounding him slowly disappearing. When Robert turned around, he saw Lapis, Peridot, and Amethyst standing before him, he realized he had made a big mistake.

"Are you alright?" Lapis asked.

"No, she isn't...She's dead." Said Robert, part exhausted, and somewhat guilty.

"I know I call you the Merciless Executioner, but I didn't mean for it to be taken that literally." Amethyst remarked.

"There was this dark aura surrounding you, I'm concerned about you, Robert." Lapis explained sternly. Robert seemed to stagger about as he walked. Lapis held up three fingers in front of Robert's face.

"How many fingers am I holding up?" she asked.

"F-four? Five?" Robert answered.

"What does it mean when they get it wrong?" Lapis asked Amethyst.

Amethyst put a hand on his back to see what was going through his head. Robert's thoughts were scrambled and he couldn't think straight, which was the only possible way Amethyst couldn't see his thought process.

Robert collapsed as he crossed the gate to exit Fun Land.

"Robert!" They all shouted as they rushed over to him.

"We have to get him Dr. Maheswaran," said Amethyst as she lifts him on top of her shoulders before they exit the amusement park.
