CHAPTER 5 "I SPY A SPYER"

"Here we are the Rebellion World" said Red "This is where we'll find Sapphire".

Terra looked at the planet, it didn't look like a world for rebels. It looked cheerful and colorful.

"Uh, no offence" said Terra, trying not to sound rude "But this planet doesn't look so rebellious to me".

"That's just what other worlds wants us to think, this is called a disguise" explained Red, while opening the entrance.

"Really, why would a planet would wanna hide its appearance from other planets?" asked Terra. But Red just stood there looking at her silently, like she doesn't know what rebels do or if she forgot of course. All Red could say is "Just try and keep up, this place can be a little ruff".

They both went inside, and Terra heard loud music, it sounded like metal. She found herself floating above hot lava, she saw chains holding it together. Terra saw other aliens that look like different species, they were wearing black outfits that look like leather jackets, wearing rings, earrings, nose rings and chains that are necklaces and bracelets. Terra stared at them, the place was kind of scary for her.

"Don't stare" said Red, grabbing her arm and pulling her away from the crowd "Just keep moving".

"Sorry" said Terra "This place is giving me the creeps".

"Just be cool" Red said giving her advice "Like I said this place is ruff".

"You said little"

"That was sarcasm"

Red and Terra sat down at a bar. They saw a bartender, he looked tuff with muscles and tattoos. And kind of scary too.

"Okay, this guy looks tuff so just let me do the talking" Red said, preparing his act.

"Why don't we just ask nicely where your sister is?" suggested Terra.

"Have you ever talk to a rebel or a vandal?"

"No"

"Do you know any?"

"No"

"Have you ever seen what they do or how they dressed?"

"No"

"Then let me do the talking!"

Terra agreed and nodded.

"Hey bartender!" Red called out to him loudly. The bartender came with a frown face. Terra hoped Red knows what he's doing, it looked like the bartender was soon about to punch him.

"What can I get you?" The bartender asked with a calm voice. That was unexpected to Terra, she thought he would yell or something.

Red proceed with his act, he said with a cool voice "Can you get me a rainbow drink, the one I can spy with my eye?"

The bartender just stood there staring at him in silence. Red tried again being more specific. "And can you ad white cream with lots of BLUE berries on top of it, huh MISTER?"

"Are you trying to find your sister who is a spyer?" guessed the bartender "You can just ask you know".

Red was shocked with wide eyes. Terra giggled and gave him the 'I told you so' look. Red just let it go and said to the bartender "Yes we're looking for my sister, name Sapphire".

The bartender pointed at the direction where Sapphire sat. Red and Terra turned around to see, and it turned out Sapphire was at a table drinking some kind of coffee right behind them from a distance. She didn't notice them because she was working on her control panel again. Red and Terra stood up and walked towards her table. When Terra got a closer look at her she couldn't believe her eyes. It turned out the spyer was the same blue alien in the cave who dropped her flashlight and ran off. Terra still has her flashlight, she was nervous. Red was nervous too because he had to introduce Terra from planet Earth to her. They sat down together with Sapphire, and she still didn't notice them. Not even Terra. Red took a deep breath and tried to introduce Terra to Sapphire. "Hey sis, I'd like to introduce you to my new... friend" he said.

But Sapphire just ignored him and his new friend. Her eyes were focused on her control panel.

"Can you at least just look at her?" Red pestered.

"Fine" Sapphire finally gave in. Her eyes turned to the new friend while she was about to drink her coffee. When Sapphire looked at Terra she was so shocked to see her again that she spitted her drink at her control panel.

"You?!" Sapphire screamed in surprised "What are you doing here?"

"Yeah, that's what I was trying to tell you" Red explained "This is Terra she's from planet Earth, I brought her here."

""Why?"

"Because she has a little problem"

"Really only a little and that's why you brought her here"

"Okay a big problem, she has a memory loss"

"A memory what?" said Terra confused "It's called amnesia."

"Well yeah in your world but in our world I mean our galaxy, when people lost their memories we call it memory loss" Red explained.

"Look just what do you want?" Sapphire asked aggressively.

"Oh right, we need your help to restore her memory, you know to rememory her" answered Red.

"Oh, and before I forget" said Terra, taking out the flashlight from her pocket "Here's your flashlight back." Red didn't notice Sapphire's flashlight was with her the whole time. Terra put the flashlight on the table to return it to Sapphire. But Sapphire didn't took it back, she just said "Not interested" and when she said that it meant she refused to help. Red was afraid she might say that, he knew his big sister well. Suddenly an explosion happened. Terra, Red and Sapphire turned to see what it was? It was the hexbots, they scattered everywhere to find Red and Terra. Terra was scared again that she actually felt that spark feeling again and her eyes were glowing yellow again. The ground shook like an earthquake. Sapphire was surprised, she immediately found out it was Terra causing the ground to shake.

"Wow, wow wait that's not what a human should do?" said Sapphire, confused. She studied that humans are some kind of normal beings and they can't do... that. Red shook her by the shoulder telling her to be calm and to stop the earthquake. Although that's what he thought. Otherwise they would be spotted. Terra closed her eyes and took a deep breath and finally the shaking stopped. The hexbots didn't notice them. They hid under the table.

"How are you doing that?" asked Sapphire, now interested.

"Look it's just something I can do, will you help us?" Terra pleaded. Sapphire made up her mind and told them to follow her, leaving her flashlight behind. They crawled onto the ground to sneak past the hexbots. They hid behind a wall. Sapphire knew a safer planet where they can go, so she quickly opened a portal with her necklace. They quickly rushed in the portal before a bot almost spotted them.

They fell and fell till luckily Sapphire fell carefully on some magnetic floor, thanks to her athletic skills. Red fell on some giant board game, he grouched with pain. Terra fell in the board game and now she's stuck.

"Help! Help me I'm stuck!" cried Terra.

Sapphire looked up where Terra was trapped. "Sweet shiny gemstones" she said.

"Where am I?" Terra cried, not knowing where she is.

(CRYSTAL CRUSH) is a planet field with crystals that tasted sweet like rock candy, and Galactanians and other aliens in the Hidden Galaxy eat the candy crystals. They called it 'Sugar Crystals', and there's a big matching game where you have to match the crystals colors so they'll blow up. It was abandon for centuries. It was built for entertainment, just as long as they don't go inside it.

"Get me out of here" cried Terra, while banging on the wall game trying to brake free. Sapphire called out to Red saying he should try to get her out from the top right where his at.

"Hold tight Terra" said Red, reaching for her hand. Red tried to pull her out but he couldn't, he slipped and he fell.

"This feels very odd and it smells, I mean it smells good, it smells delicious but I still don't like it" cried Terra.

"The game obviously thinks you're a crystal even though you're weirdly colored" explained Sapphire.

"What are we going to do?" Terra asked worriedly.

"Just stay still, don't worry we've got your back, right Red?" said Sapphire turning towards Red. She saw him licking a big candy crystal, guess he has problems with his sweet tooth. Sapphire threw a pebble at him to get his head out of sugar.

"Ouch!"

"Listen red head" Sapphire said aggressively "we have to get Terra out of the game with out blowing her up!"

"I don't want to blown up!" Terra cried.

"We have to match up the crystals so Terra can drop to the bottom, and the way I see it we can't match her with any yellows or else... "

If they match her with yellows she's a goner.

Sapphire demonstrated to Red how to do it. She jumped on the magnetic floor and bounced high to match the blue crystals to get Terra down. Red watched carefully and it didn't look that hard, and they had to be very careful. They jumped and match the crystals, but not the yellow ones. It was so entertaining for Red that he almost lost his focus.

"Careful!" yelled Sapphire.

"Sorry, it's just this game is really fun!" Red said with excitement "I don't know why they abandoned it?"

"Seriously" said Sapphire. She knows why it was abandoned? it was abandoned because the colorful game was so distractible that it wasted someone's life time, and someone could accidentally get trap inside. Only Sapphire didn't fell addicted to the game because she was too serious, she forgot what it was like to have fun. Only a person who knows how to have fun can fall addicted to the game.

Red saw a shiny colorful diamond, he wondered what it does?

He matched it with the color green, a color far away from Terra, and it zapped some of the crystals, but luckily not Terra. Luckily Terra made it to the bottom with out getting zapped. They quickly grabbed her legs and tried to pull her out, but it was hurting her and it wasn't working. Finally Terra told them stop. "This isn't working" she said.

"Well there's only one option left, we lined you up with the yellows" decided Sapphire.

"But you said not to do that!" shouted Terra.

"Special crystals get transported to that box" Sapphire explained while pointing at the giant jewelry box "The game might think you're a special crystal."

"And what if it doesn't think I'm a special crystal?" asked Terra.

Sapphire thought for a while, if the game doesn't think she's a special crystal then she will turn into stone again, and explode.

"Well... I'm not too worried about it" Sapphire lied. She didn't want anyone to freak out.

Terra thought their is no other option left, so she told her to do it. Sapphire switched her to the yellow crystals and they stood back waiting to see what will happen. Terra shut her eyes tight as she was glowing brighter and brighter. When she opened her eyes she found herself lying on something uncomfortable. She was in the jewelry box. Red climbed the giant jewelry box and saw Terra alive. "Terra you are alive" he said as he hugged her.

"Hey you two get down from there, we got to move!" shouted Sapphire, sounding like she's in a hurry. They both climbed down and followed her.

Sapphire apologized to Terra for running off like that from the beginning they first met. Terra forgives her, she was more concerned about her memories, about who she was, where she came from, why is her powers out of control and how did she end up being a statue? She hoped Sapphire could help her.

"Listen Terra I'm about to become your guide in wonder universe" said Sapphire.

"You are?" Terra said thinking she might agree to help. Normally Red would be suspicious about her but he was so caught up with the Sugar Crystals he barely listened.

"Oh yeah, first we have to get to The White which is outside the universe, that's where we'll rememoried you" explained Sapphire, activating her control panel map necklace.

"Outside the universe? Isn't that where The Criminal is?" Terra guessed looking concerned.

"Oh, so my brother told you about The Criminal didn't he?" Sapphire guessed, trying to be cool. It looked like she was hiding something.

"He did" Terra responded. She didn't notice Sapphire's act. She's a real actress.

"But don't worry about her, there's no way she could get to The White, she was definitely lying to everyone" Sapphire explained. Terra sighed in relief, but Sapphire was the one who sighed in relief more. She can't believe Terra actually bought it.

Red wanted to join in the conversation but he was to busy eating Sugar Crystals, like he hadn't eaten anything sweet for a long time. Sapphire and Terra returned to the 'how to get to The White safe and sound' plan.

"We're in Crystal Crush, I know a short cut to the Secret Planet, so secret and hidden that no one in our galaxy knows it, that it's nearby Dance Planet which is right next to Speed World where we can get straight to the White" Sapphire continued, showing her big hologram map to Terra.

"Of course, we'll get to the Secret Planet then to Dance Planet straight to Speed World then zoom!" Red copied his sister's idea fast with rock candy in his mouth.

"Hold up here's the problem, before they let us into the White we have to get pass this Volcano Wall" Sapphire warned them while showing the image of it. It looked really hot. "The Volcano Wall uses eruption count down, which is really a problem because I've been trying to get through, guess wrong once and it takes twenty years to cool off."

"Twenty years!" repeated Red. If he keeps eating all that sugar he might get a sugar rush.

"So you're thinking that my powers can do rocks then my powers can cool off the Volcano Wall's eruption" said Terra, taking Sapphire's idea.

"Uh yeah, I wanted to say it because it was my idea, you know I thought men are the ones taking credit from women who are always coming up with stuff" said Sapphire, with one hand on her hip. Terra pretended she forgot that, which she didn't of course. "Well then let's hit the road" she said "Red you coming."

"I'm coming!" Red replied while carrying few Sugar Crystals with him for the road.
