Jewelpet Gem Connection Chapter 3 ~Eruption~

# Chapter 3 Eruption

## Meet Zircon

[The girls are exploring in the forest.]

Sapphie: Hey guys, look! A blue zircon!

[Sapphie points at a blue zircon gemstone left on a rock.]

[The others turn around.]

Sapphie: It’s just sitting there…(Tries to touch it)

Luna: Wait! Touching a different birthstone will confuse your magic!

Pearl: It’s actually wearing another one, just touching it is okay!

Sapphie: Right, I’ll be careful then.

[Just then, the blue zircon suddenly turns into a teal-eared basset hound.]

Sapphie: Whoops, have we disturbed you?

Zircon: (Yawns) Nothing much, I actually have been sleeping here for quite a long while now!

Peridot: Since you’re once of the residents here…Are there any landmarks around this place?

Zircon: Well…Right now, you’re near the Jewel Mines in a few miles away (Points left), it’s a tunnel to Jewel Mountains.

Sapphie: Great! I always want to go to Jewel Mountains!

Pearl: Same.

Luna: What are we waiting for? Let’s go see those mountains!

Zircon: How about I guide you around Jewel Mountains? As I know this landmark the best!

Peridot: Sure, why not?

## Jewel Mountains

[The girls arrived at Jewel Mountains with Zircon.]

Zircon: Here we are, at Jewel Mountains!

Luna: They look gorgeous!

Sapphie: Yeah!

Zircon: Hey, you wanna know something even cooler? Zircons are the oldest mineral in the world and they’re slightly radioactive!

Luna: That’s pretty cool!

Zircon: I also remember they help sleep…somehow 🤔, I’m not really sure but I heard it from somewhere.

Pearl: Hmmm…very interesting-Can we go now?

Luna: Sure, but where are we going?

Sapphie: Well I guess we have to go over them, unless we go around, which I think would take a long time.

Pearl: Alright then, mountain hiking it is!

## Hiking

[The girls went hiking in Jewel Mountains.]

Luna: (sees a clear path) Where are we? I wasn’t expecting such a trail!

Zircon: We must be along the mine paths!

Peridot: Does anyone live here?

Zircon: I think a few pets used to live here, until…there was an eruption, and then they all left.

Luna: AN ERUPTION?! LIKE A VOLCANO??

Zircon: Umm…Yeah.

Pearl: A volcano? Where?

Sapphie: Are you serious?

Zircon: Don’t worry guys, it was decades ago! Pets come here to mine all the time, and there wasn’t an eruption since!

Sapphie: Well you’re the one who knows facts and all the history mysteries, but at the same time, I don’t want to turn into a lava lamp!

Zircon: Look, I can’t guarantee anything but I doubt there’s going to be an eruption today.

Sapphie: We’re trusting you, I don’t wanna be a lava lamp!

Pearl: And don’t forget, Jewelina and Diana might be out there somewhere, and they’re probably in more danger than we are!

Peridot: Alright then, for Jewelina and Diana, let’s go, des~! (Runs forward)

Zircon: Let’s go! The volcano may erupt sooner or later! (Leaves with Peridot)

Luna, Sapphie & Pearl: Wait for us, two two!

[Later, Sapphie and Peridot are seen climbing up a hill. Luna, Pearl and Zircon are waiting for them at the top.]

Peridot: It’s all uphill from here!

Pearl: Come on, you two! You’re almost there!

[Peridot reaches to the top.]

Luna: You made it!

Zircon: Sapphie’s still down there, she needs some more encouragement!

[The four girls cheer Sapphie, Sapphie finally arrives.]

[Suddenly, the ground shakes. Peridot and Sapphie are separated from the others.]

Pearl: (Grabs Peridot’s paw) Just hold on!

[The land shakes, pushing the girls even further.]

Luna: (Grabbing Sapphie’s paw) What’s happening?

Zircon: It’s the volcano! It’s erupting!

[The land suddenly sinks, the girls fall.]

## Watch Out! The Floor is Lava!

[Luna wakes up, there’s lava everywhere, and she’s floating on a big piece of ice!]

[Luna sees the others, who are knocked unconscious.]

Luna: Guys!

[Lava blasts out from the crack between Luna and the others.]

Luna: Oh no, I’m trapped, dana!

[All of them wake up one by one, and see what’s happening.]

Sapphie: This is not quite the way to wake up.

Peridot: Quit joking around, Sapphie! We’re on lava!

Pearl: (Sees the ice not melting) Strange, why isn’t the ice melting?

Zircon: I don’t know, the same way why the lava was here before!

Luna: We need to do something, dana! Hurry!

Pearl: (Thinks for a while) Magic! The key is to use magic!

[Pearl uses magic to summon her broomstick, she hops onto it and flys high from the ground. Peridot comes to Pearl with her broomstick.]

[Both see a giant smoke cloud covering their view from the ground.]

Peridot: (Coughs) There’s too much ash!

Pearl: At least we’re not being lucid! Where are the others?

Peridot: (Looks around) I don’t know, but I hope they’re safe!

[Luna and Sapphie arrives with their broomstick.]

Luna: How are we going to get out of here?

Zircon: There’s lava everywhere!

Sapphie: What are we supposed to do?

Pearl: Fly as fast as we can!

Peridot: Let’s go!

[All of them fly as fast as they can, Zircon lands on top of a rock.]

Zircon: We’re safe!

Luna: You sure?

Zircon: (Looks around, and nods)

Pearl: Let’s wait for the others!

[The others soon arrives.]

Zircon: (Points the rocks) Follow the rocks, they’ll lead us to a safe place!

[The girls follow Zircon into a giant cave.]

Sapphie: Of course! The mine!

[The girls enter the cave, Peridot looks at the dark mine, slightly scared.]

Pearl: Come in, it’s safe!

Peridot: Umm…Okay then. (Enters)

Zircon: We should stay here until the lava is gone.

Peridot: So when will the lava be gone?

Zircon: Possibly for several days…or even a month!

Luna: That’s gonna be forever, dana!

Pearl: I guess we’ll stay in this cave for a while. Why don’t we take a rest here? We can recharge our powers for our next journey!

Luna: Then how do we know that the lava won’t reach us?

Sapphie: (Looks down) Somehow, the lava never gets into the mine. I’m not sure whether it’s science or magic, but whatever it is, I’m sure it’s good for us!

Peridot: In that case, let me recharge my powers and take a rest. (Turns into a Jewel Charm and sleeps)

Zircon: I hope I’m right this time. (Turns into her Jewel Charm and sleeps)

[The rest did too.]
