Ch. 31 You have mail! - part.1

At Grandma's house, Ruby, Sapphire, Midnight and Topaz were sitting around the table for a meeting.

Ruby: Ok. Let's get started.

Midnight: Yes... get this over with, please!

Ruby: ... As you should all know, the war between us and the UnMythics is in three days time.

Sapphire: Yes... we KNOW that.

Ruby: But we don't know what their secret weapon is... so it's time we start talking more seriously about it.

Sapphire: Explain.

Ruby: Well... seeing that you, Sapphire Diamondeye DeathDancer, are an UnMythic-

Sapphire: Diamondeye is an insult more then a name to me now. Sapphire DeathDancer will do.

Ruby: ... Do you have any idea what your kind is planning?

Sapphire: Well... I'm assuming they're going to play by their strengths and your weaknesses. Probably something to do with cinnamon and machines.

Topaz: That's possible. They did do that last time, after all.

Ruby: True.

Midnight: But WE have the Dragon egg. We have the element of surprise! We have-

Sapphire: Will it hatch in time?

Ruby: The fire creature in the crystal cave said "When the Egg has fully hatched, then the real war will start".

Sapphire: I'm assuming that means it will hatch the moment the war starts... But that could be bad.

Midnight: Will the Dragon know how to fight?

Ruby: Well... I don't know that, to be honest.

Midnight: Great...

Topaz: Well, I think we should worry about the Dragon later. For now, you guys need to train, figure out where the UnMythic's weapon is, and not to mention you still have a few more villages to warn.

Ruby: I already sent out bat-mail to them. They should get them this afternoon, IF the bats are quick.

Topaz: "If" is a big factor in the race against time, Ruby.

Ruby: I know...

Topaz: Are our other cousins coming here, or are they sticking to their parts of the island?

Ruby: We'll know by tonight, I guess...

Midnight: ... So are we going to train or not?

Ruby and Sapphire looked up at Midnight, surprised.

Ruby: Are you serious, Midnight?

Midnight: No, I just want to sit around and swish my tail until the war starts. OF COURSE I'm serious!

Sapphire: So you want to train instead of stealing for a change?

Midnight: Pick-pocketing won't help on the battlefield. We need actual battle skills to fight.

Topaz: But you're practically kids! Will your Vampire Lord allow the very ESSENCE of our SURVIVAL to go on the battlefields and risk their lives?

Ruby: Well... we've come this far without dying!

Topaz: ... I'm going to your library to research certain things.

Sapphire: Shouldn't you be training with us?

Topaz: I've already had my training when I was your age. I don't want, or have to do, basic sword skills again. See you later.

And so saying so, Topaz got up and left the house.

Sapphire: ... Does all Topaz think about is reading?

 

Midnight: I hope not.

Ruby: ... Anyway. Let's go and train!

Midnight: As much as I hate working, we have a village to protect, and we won't let UnMythics drive us out because we're different.

Sapphire: That's the spirit, soldier!

Ruby, Sapphire and Midnight all dash out to the Vampire Lord's mansion for some more training.
