Topaz held up his club in order to block most of the spines, but one made it past and buried itself into his side. He cringed,
but didn't back down. Without stopping, he swung his club once again toward the Amber, letting it fly directly to her at an intense speed.
Meanwhile..
The fused Rubies didn't react very quickly, stumbling a bit bit before falling backwards in the nick of time to dodge the fiery hoop.
They leaped back up and, being Rubies, decided to go and throw a punch straight at the opposing gem's face. It was holding a greyish capsule in its hand, and the Rubies knew that was what they needed to get.
Also meanwhile...
Back at the Red Eye, the third Ruby sat in the pilot's chair, laying back. It was almost falling asleep when it heard a Thunk from the outside of the pod, like something threw a rock at it. The Ruby hopped out of the chair and went to the door, opening it hastily, and finding...
A human. A normal human being. That had kicked the door of the pod. For no reason.
Ruby sighed and flicked her hand, like it was shooing away a bug. Go on. Scram. Shoo. Don't touch things you don't understand. Go on. she said, lazily. As though the human was just a pest.
