Chapter 8
Diamond stared after Emerald and Toast in shock.
"Why. The. Hell. Would they think... Splitting up was a good idea?!" Diamond muttered "I honestly have no clue." Ghost said shaking his head.
"Well its too late now, lets go see how the Rogers and Acachallas are doing." Diamond said as she looked in the direction of their houses which were, of course, on fire. Ghost nodded, and they started walking in that direction.
They arrived in no time as they lived cater-corner to the P.I. Headquarters. Old Man Rogers ran out and stood by the door shouting into the house. It appears that they were evacuating. Diamond ran out while Ghost went to the neighboring Acachalla's.
"OMR!(Pronounced M R, nickname.) Do you need help?" Diamond shouted as she approached. "Yes! 'ank Goodness. It sounds like Tony is stuc'!" Old man Rogers said. Diamond nodded and ran into the house and found Neko, William, and Shakesphere shouting through some flaming debris. "TONY!" Neko shouted practically crying.
"Is Tony on the other side?" Diamond asked as she approached. Neko nodded so hard Diamond thought her head would fall off. "Yes." said Shakesphere "We don't know what to do."
Diamond.
Not now.
Diamond, I can help-
No you can't.
I've set buildings on fire while I was still in them. I've had to get through walls of debris before.
But this is on fire-
I've seen worse Diamond.
Fine.
Diamond let Ruby take over. "Diamond? Your Iris is red." William said as he looked at Ruby.
"Trick of the light." Ruby dismissed. "I know what to do."
"Y-You do?" Neko said hopefully. Ruby Merely nodded as she approached the debris.
She picked up a not on fire piece of debris. "Stand back, it could collapse. You too Tony! Back up!"
Ruby saw a place in the on-fire wall that wasn't on fire. Irony, am I right?
Ruby pushed it in with her stick, and the wall came crashing down, inward, barely mssing an ash-covered Tony. Tony jumped over the debris and was immediately embraced by Neko.
"Everyone, Out! This whole place will collapse soon!" Ruby shouted. She was surprised it hadn't already. The top floor, the third, was wider than the floors under it. Yet was still intact.
They ran out, everyone coughing, into the cold night air. They joined Old Man Rogers and joined Ghost and the Acachallas. Apparently no one got stuck in the Acachalla's household. They just didn't know their house was on fire. And they were inside. Huh.
Ruby didn't let Diamond out. She had an Idea.
Now we still have no clue what Ruby is exactly.
But.
Ruby somehow teleported Every. Single. Person. Out of town. Including the dead bodies.
Everyone was confused, but Dr. Angela ran around reviving everyone.
They were standing before the front gates of Little People. Emerald stood up and walked over.
"So... How the hell did you guys get here? Can you apparate or something?" Emerald demanded.
"Do you mean Teleport?" Gem asked.
"Same thing." Emerald said.
Ruby smirked and let Diamond out.
