Zari heard the girl with Izzy ask why we were doing this. He responded, as calmly as he could, "Um, well the king, Lief, stole a few gems I knew, and he plans on summoning a very nasty force fusion that he'll use to wipe out everyone in the realm, so it's just him and Jeannie- I mean just him. Him and just him. Don't ask how I know this... just... trust me. And he has something of mine I need to live, so, those are the two main reasons." he said. He looked over to Izzy, wondering what she had to say, "Yeah?..."

Lief kicked on the trapdoor, banging it, impatiently waiting for Alice to leave the tower and kill someone. He shouted, "Remember, your life relies on killing and bringing me a gem. You better hurry to it, dearie!" His shouting echoed throughout the emerald spire.
 
"What?!" Luna said in shock. "But how am I going to help you stop him?! I mean, all I can do is teleport..."

"Well..." She shifted uncomfortably. "It's about Liam. He's... he's dead."
 
(oops i was asleep)

Rosalie stood still. "Uh.. I guess you could say that.." She responded with a shaky voice.
 
Y-yes..um, what about my gem? Wouldn't it be much rather easier with it?" Alice said in a shaky voice
"Well then..good thing I never knew him! Loosing someone is..terrible.." She said, thinking of Alice and Yasuke.
 
(Whoops tournament lasted quite a bit x3)
"R-right..." The uncomfortable feeling hung in the air and the tension was so thick, you could put a knife in it. She shivered.
 
Izzy turned to Malani. "I'm glad you don't know him. He wasn't a nice person anyway. He stole my gem once. And he "found" Luna's gem. I bet he actually stole it. And he was always lying and trying to annoy me, and he... he even tried to kill my sister!" She clenched her fists angrily, though she was glad he was gone now.

"He lied to me, too, saying that he didn't know where Izzy was when really, she was in her gem. And he had it in his bag." Luna thought for a moment. "He also had a knife in there... Do you think that maybe he... actually killed you?" she asked Izzy.

"Seeing as he clearly hated me, and tried to kill you, I wouldn't be surprised if he had done."
 
Zari nervously tucked the sapphire in his pocket, looking towards Luna. "If you can teleport, can you take us to the emerald spire and back?" He looked back around at everyone else, "And does everyone know and understand your part, and is ready?" He was getting anxious and wanted to get it done and over with.

Lief heard Alice's squeaky voice through the emerald floor. He shouted back, "Dearie! If I were to give you your gem, how could I trust you? I can't. Now go!" He was obviously getting very angry, and looked at the alexandrite in Yasuke's hand. He wanted to so take it and smash it, just for the peace of mind.
 
"Yeah, I'm ready," Alexa replied and clutched her amethyst. "I'm going to be the bait now, right?" She asked. Alexa rubbed her finger up against the amethyst.
 
Zari nodded to Alexa, "Yeah. You'll go in first, with me following close behind, and use my sapphire to freeze something, as proof you have it. Then, bubble and send it to me when he tries taking it, and give him your amethyst. You'll need to make it discreet. Here... " He pulled out the sapphire, and handed it to Alexa, smiling. He felt horrible for her losing Mari. He understood what it was like to lose someone who you're very close with. "Try freezing that bush," he said, pointing to a small bush.
 
Alexa took the sapphire and nodded. She looked over to the bush, and stuffed her amethyst in her pocket. Alexa concentrated and froze the bush. She looked over to Zari and smiled.
 
"You have a point," she said, walking out of the tower shaking. She saw a yellow field of flowers, and walking more, she saw human-like figures in the distance. She started walking faster, heading to a jog, then a run. Finally someone who's not evil..yet I have to kill someone she thought! coming closer to the group. She saw Zari, Malani, Rosalie, and many people she didn't know. "I'm aliiiiiveee!" She yelled
"He sounds quite terrible..or sounded.." Malani said, and saw someone come closer to them. She slowly realized who it was "Alice?" She said, then realized it was her. "Alice!" She yelled, running to her to give her a hug.
Alice smiled, and hugged back Malani. "It's been a while!" She said, tears of happiness in her eyes
 
Zari smiled, as he watched Alexa froze the bush. "Now, try to bubble the sapphire and send it to me." he said. He stopped abruptly when he seen Alice run from the field of yellow flowers, in the direction from the tower. He almost choked as he breathed, realizing she probably did come from the tower. He walked up to her. "Alice... do you know of Lief?" He asked this in a very plain tone, hoping she would say no.
 
Alexa was gearing up to bubble the sapphire, until she noticed Zari stop. She decided it would be best until Zari was finished talking to Alice to continue. She waited patiently, and was listening carefully to Zari's conversation.

"Well, I haven't tried doing it to anyone else," she said. "I guess I could give it a go." She got her gem out of Liam's bag, then looked at Izzy. "Maybe if you hold onto me or something, it'll work."

"Umm... OK," Izzy said, as she put her arm round Luna's shoulder. She closed her eyes.

"Ready? One... two..." She put her arm round Izzy and shut her eyes. She thought of getting somewhere as far away from where she was as possible. She then disappeared.

A few moments later, Izzy opened her eyes, but she was in the exact same place she was in before. She looked next to her, but Luna wasn't there. "Uhhh... Luna?" She suddenly heard someone screaming, not far away. It came from behind her, so she turned around.

Luna had fallen out of a tree, not far from the others at all. "Oof..." She saw Izzy coming over to her.

"Guess that didn't work, did it?" she said as she helped her sister up.
 
Alice looked at zari. "Y-yes. Yasuke was in there too..he's completely different, he's evil..he killed me. I was regenerated in the tower, and Lief threatened to kill me. B-but I escaped," she half-lied
 
Zari looked back and watched as Luna disappeared and reappeared 10 feet in the air in a tree, and fell. He looked back at Alice, "Um... what's that?" He nervously pointed to the strange green lump in her arm. It was glowing a very dull emerald green, and the skin around it turned into a sickly green.
 
Alexa looked to where Zari was pointing. What is that? Is it an infected wound? It looks disguisting... Alexa thought to herself. She held the sapphire tight, she didn't want to lose or drop something that wasn't hers to begin with.

Alice had forgotten about the stab, but right as Zari mentioned it, she felt like she got shot with a bullet in her arm. "Lief..h-he stabbed me with his scepter..he said that I'm his an-and if I want to live, I'd h-have to kill someone. But I won't..I'm not going to turn into Yasuke or Lief.." She half lied, clenching her arm in pain
 
Zari's jaw dropped. He knew something was off.... but this. This was pure evil. He looked closely at it, and poked the emerald that was stuck in her arm with a stick. "I-I-I don't know what to say... " A tear fell off Zari's face. Another person was doomed to die. He didn't know how he could save her. "Um... your gem? Where is your gem? Is it turning green? Because if it is... it's too late," he said, his voice shaking.
