Chapter Text

[LOCATION: Cave or some shit]


When the duo entered the cave it was very dark as expected "Can you cast a... Light spell or something like that?" Gem asked and Avery noded quickly casting a light spell to illuminate the area "Huh.. S0 ! c4n us3 s!mpl3 sp3lls but n0 c0mpl3x 0n3s..." Avery stated "Well... Lead the way!" Gem exclaimed motioning for Avery to move forward.

After killing armys and a few rats (that tried to eat Avery's dress-) the encountered a latter "D0 w3 n33d t0 cl!m8 th4t" Avery sighed turning to Gem "I.. Think so, you sure you can climb this with your.. uhh lack-of leg-" Gem asked "MY L39S 4R3 !NV!NC48L3, !T'S TH3R3 BUT Y0U C4N'T S33 !T" Avery shouted Gem rose her arms in a surrender-like way "U9h.. 0h my 9h0stw4lk3r.." Avery mumbled as they started to climb the ladder, when they got up they signaled to Gem that they can go up now turning to see Terry "Stupid tiny fins... do I have that card already?" Terry mumbled and he noticed Avery "I'LL KILL YOU!!!" Terry shouted and Avery put their hands up "Oh... I thought you were another ANT ARMY... I HATE those things..." Terry remarked "Wh4t 4r3 y0u d0!n9 !n th!s c4v3?" Avery asked "Bruh. See that card over there? It's almost as if I can't reach the stupid thing." Terry stated and started to think before coming to a conclusion "Hey... I might not be able to... But you can, with that BALL!" Terry started "W4!t wh4-" "That BALL looks super bouncy... It's probably perfect! Here, come stand over here for me..." Terry stated pushing Avery to where he was standing and ONLY NOW did Gem manage to get up the ladder and watched the two "Now just throw the ball! Get me that card!!!!!!" Terry comanded and Avery reluctently did so and showed the card to Terry "Duuuude... I already had that oneeeee... Multiple copies actually. Whatever man, you can keep it." Terry muttered "T-th4nks???" Avery thanked with a confused tone "That's basically what you can do with the BALL. I'd use mine, but I think it's back at the hotel..." Terry started and Avery noded "Anyway, you can throw the BALL at a bunch of stuff, dude. I've broken WINDOWS or toppled weak PILLARS with it... But you didn't hear that from me." Terry explained "Anyway, I'm tired of looking at you. I want some lunch." Terry stated and left Gem and Avery standing there "That just happened" Gem exclaimed and Avery shot a "shut up" look at Gem as they made their way to a EVEN COLDER CAVE.

Avery shivered a little and Gem noticed her friend's dismay of the cold "Is everything alright Avery?" Gem asked "Y34h, !'m 0k4y !t's just... 8l4ckr0ck 4nd th3 4r34 n34r !t h4sn't 833n th!s c0ld" Avery explained "You seem to know this area well don't ya'?" Gem asked and Avery internally paniced "Y0u s33, ! 0nc3 l!v3d !n 8l4ckr0ck, th3r3-f0r ! w0uld kn0w !t 4nd th3 sur0und!n9 4r34 qu!t3 4 b!t du3 t0 ! n33d!n9 t0 93t t0 8!zvill3" Avery stated silently praying to Ghostwalker that Gem doesn't suspect them of lying "Alr then" Gem replied as the two made their way out the cave and to a elivated space where there was a health pad "What's this thing?" Gem asked and Avery looked over "Th4t !s 4 h34l!n9 p4d 0r h34lth p4d, !t r3st0r3s 4 q0urt3r 0f 0n3's h34lth..!" Avery explained as they made their way to the exit.

A slight disturbanince in the ground made Avery tense up "who is that? Your Majesty... we have some Guests..." A bearly heared voice stated as 2 ant armys rose up from the ground and a even louder voice started to speak "Quiet... Quiet... QUIET!!!!!.. I MUST MAKE MY ROYAL ENTRANCE!!!!" the voice comanded as it rose from the ground and the ant armys apolagised "HUZZAH!!! IT IS I!!!! YOUR ROYAL MAJESTY!!! I SEE YOU TWO HAVE TAKEN A WRONG TURN AND VENTURED INTO MY TERRITORY!!! BUT FEAR NOT, DEAR SUBJECTS I SHALL EXCUSE THIS INEXCUSABLE BEHAVIOR AS YOU BOW TO MY GLORIOUS STATURE!!! GO ON, I'M WAITING!!!" The supreme ant announced as she was waiting for the duo to bow "Uhh why sould WE bow before a big ugly ant?" Gem asked bluntly as Avery noded in agreement and The supreme ant looked at the two with anger "Her majesty is gonna blow her stack......" One of the ant armys mumbled  "Y O U . YOU TWO D A R E DISRESPECT THE SUPREME ANT?!" The supreme ant raged "Guess we're fighting this.. Thing" Gem sighed under her breath pulling out the wooden sword that was given by the useless admin Shedletsky while Avery readied a fucking fire ball at the massive ant.

[SKIP AFTER THE SUPRIME ANT BATTLE]

[TEAM ANGEL TRUMPET WINS]

 

The supreme ant took one final breath and exploded into a million peaces "Admins damn..." Gem muttered after being hit in the face by a fucking apendix, turning her attention to Avery it looked like they weren't doing so well "Hey... Are you okay Ave?" Gem asked checking on her friend "! 83/!v3 !'m 0k4y G3m.." Avery responded holding one of their hands to steady their head as they walked out of the cave into Roadtown


[LOCATION: Modern Bizville]


Tea pot wasn't doing so well.. She'd currently staying in the hotel in Bizville when a knock on the door cought her attention when she opened it she was met with a new face..

Notes:

I thought it'd be cool if they had a team name, so their team name is:
TEAM ANGEL TRUMPET or Angel trumpet duo

Why i chose it?
Because the angel trumpet is a flower usually assosiated with heaven, Gem's a florest while Avery is telamon's creation + is the fiance for the daughter of John and Jane Doe who are demi-gods in my au
