Chapter 5: Master Quetzalcoatl

Connie and Steven just stare in fear as a new Death Mask glared down at them, given them an aggressive hiss.

“I-Is that a dinosaur snake you told me about, a Titanaboa?!” Steven gasped at the gold and red colored feathered serpent with its mouth open which gave off a powerful heat.

“Steven, that’s a God from (whatever they would call ancient Central America. Probably the same thing). Quetzalcoatl!”

The Death Mask resembling a divine beast hissed once more. “Yesssssss. That is my name. But you shall inform me as Masssssster Quetzalcoatl!”

“…..Are you doing the Sssss thing on purpose?” Steven asked as Connie stood close to him.

Quetzalcoatl looked irritated by his question. “That was a part of my design, which I cannot change.” Quetzalcoatl breathed in slowly. “But now I shall obliterate you and-”

“Eat propane! Sneople God!” From out of nowhere, Ronaldo jumped into action and threw a filled tank of propane directly into Quetzalcoatl’s mouth and the serpent swallowed it whole.

“Steven!” Connie shouted as Steven grabbed her hand and dashed in front of Ronaldo to create his shield, protecting them from the fiery explosion.

After a moment of standing still after the explosion, the head of the Death Mask Master landed right on top of the shield.

“Aaaaaah!” The three screamed as Steven felt like throwing up.

The smoke finally cleared and pieces of the creature was scattered everywhere until a portal sucked all the pieces back up, including the dead head.

“Connie, I never want to see a horror film in my life.” Steven said with his heart racing.

“I don’t even want to see a PG-13 movie, ever.” Connie sat down to help keep her heart beat in check.

“……… I saved the Earth!” Ronaldo shouted. “Sneople! I have defied your God! You will never-” Then a rock was thrown at Ronaldo’s head by a Scouter which instantly knocked him out cold.

You know the main problem with ‘Rocknaldo’ was that all he did was stand around and be a dick. He should have jumped into a portal the moment he got that chance and then get kidnapped by a Gem Monster and have the entire episode focus on his poor survival skills.

Connie and Steven looked around and saw no sign of anymore Death Masks except the one who casually walked away, nor Connie parents. “Mom! Dad!” Connie called out, but no response. “Steven, we need to-” But then an explosion took place near the Temple.

“Go find your parents!” Steven said as he looked at Ruby and Sapphire still incased in the green crystal orbs. “I’ll deal with Maskus.” Steven said in a dramatic mood.

“Good luck.” Connie quickly hugged him and ran towards when they last saw the Maheswarans.

Steven looked at Lion who seemed to have recovered quickly. “You O.K. buddy ….. I forgot I have healing spit.” Steven slapped his forehead. “Silly Steven …. Right, the Gems!” Steven hopped onto Lion as the two ran towards the temple where the explosion happens.

“Mom, Dad!” Connie ran down the boardwalk, looking for any signs of her parents, or the Death Masks chasing after them. Fearing what they could have done, her anger build up for the monsters that invaded Beach City.

It wasn’t long before Connie noticed a couple of Death Masks looking at her parents standing near a building. “Get away from my parents you masked freaks!”

The Death Masks turned to Connie and gasped as they scattered away.

“Mom, Dad!” Connie sighed with relief as she ran to her parents who looked unharmed. “I’m so glad your ……. Mom, Dad ……?”

Back at the beach, Steven and Lion reached to the front of their house and saw the state of the beach after a quick brawl.

“Amethyst, Pearl!” Steven shouted, but no one answered. “Anybody!?”

Lion looked towards the house and roared upwards.

“You should teach your pet some proper greetings.”

Steven looked up top his house to see Maskus causally sitting on the roof, or rather just shivering from the cold breeze.

“I must know, how do you survive in this horrid weather!?” Maskus jumped from the rooftop and landed on the beach, with his arms wrapped around his body as he cast flames with his open hands. “I came from a tropical region where the only time you’ll experience any lowered temperature is from rainy seasons.”

Steven would love to give his light hearted comments on Maskus trying to handle the coldness of their region, but what mattered to him the most was that there were no signs of Amethyst or Pearl.

“Oh, I’ve poofed them.” Maskus spoke, without letting Steven asked first. He held out the two gemstones of his family, incased in the same green crystal orbs. “I believe that my Death Masks have already retrieved the C-C-Cross-Over C-C-ry-” Maskus sneezed. “Cross-Over Crystal.”

Lion growled as Steven kept himself calm. “Why do you want that crystal?”

Maskus chuckled. “Because of the prophecy.”

“Prophecy?” Steven scratched his head. “Sounds like a cliché plot to a story.”

“…….. It’s more complicated than that.” Maskus said. “You see it all starts when-Never mind all that!” Maskus shouted as he held the gems up. “Even if you have both the Cross-Over Crystal and your friends, will you be able to free them?”

Steven looked at the incased Sapphire and Ruby and licked them, nothing happened. “Rrrr, why are you doing all this?” Steven shouted with his grasps on his emotions weakening. “I understand if you’re from Homeworld, but you’re not. This is the first time we’ve met!”

Maskus laughed evilly. “Steven, if you only let me finish my speech that was interrupted by your friends.”

“But Pearl pretty much exposed your plan in a nutshell.”

Maskus looked away. “I was caught off guard by her sudden statement, but you have the wrong idea. I want-”

“Maskus!” called out an unknown voice.

“Oh for the love of-” The annoyed Maskus and Steven looked ahead to see an unusual sight (not comparing to the Death Masks) to be seen in this weather. Tribal men dressed in light but not too revealing clothing, shivering in the cold.

What was even stranger was an elder woman stood from the warriors, barely even looking at them. “M-Maskus. W-W-We will stop you!”

“Hey Steven!” Peridot shouted from the group as she gave her Steven a friendly wave as Lapis just have her usual ‘don’t care’ look. “We found some humans who are way far away from home! Can you point us to the direction they’re from so we can give them a lift?”

Lapis looked at the mysterious masked man holding fire around himself. “Is that you’re friend?” Lapis looked at a warrior, who just looked confused at what she said.

“I-I-I-I never said he was a f-f-f-”

“Hold on, Priestess Tremela.” Maskus floated to the old shaman woman and handed her a lit torch from his flames. “Is that better?”

The old woman, named Tremela, smiled. “Why thank you ……. Fiend!” she shouted. “You will not bribe us with treasures and false happiness you evil monster!”

“Evil Monster!?” Peridot gasped as Lapis raised an eyebrow. She looked real close at Maskus and gasped at what he holds. “Is that Pearl and Amethyst?!”

Maskus laughed. “Why yes, yes that-” He was then interrupted by a sudden punch to the face by a water fist, curtesy of Lapis Lazuli herself.

The direct impact caused Maskus to release the two gems from his’s grasp as Peridot catches them before they hit the sand. “Lapis, you-”

“Steven, was he hurting you!?” Lapis called out to her dear friend.

“Me, no. Other people I care about, yes.” Steven scratched his head. “Well I guess he would have.”

Lapis glared at Maskus as a large arm formed from the ocean. “Whoever you are, you’ve made a grave-”

Maskus quickly entered a portal.

“Mistake?” Lapis looked around. “Show yourself or else I’ll-”

“Daaaah!” Maskus shouted from above as he pulls an arrow from his leg.

“Do not take him lightly!” Tremela shouted as more archers shot arrows at Maskus.

“Ha, light-ly!” Steven shouted.

“I get the joke!” shouted Peridot.

Maskus responds by casting himself in a green orb and falling to the ground.

Acting quickly, Lapis created a water arm that punched Maskus, but that only seemed to bounce him away with no damage as he appeared from the orb.

“Are his feet made of metal?” Peridot asked as she reached out her arms. “They are, now take this!” Peridot used her metal controlling powers to pull Maskus to the ground, but she still needs more training as there was litter effort done.

“Let me help.” Lapis spread her water wings, which wowed the tribal men, as she flew up into the air and formed icicle spears. “So how do you want it? In your arms, your legs, your-”

Maskus smiled as he formed several more spears made of fire.

“Your, you’re so annoying!” Lapis dodged the spears, but lost sight of Maskus from another portal. “What is his deal?” Maskus appeared several feet away from Lapis, annoying the girl.

“Now you listen. I can make this real ugly if you try making this worst.”

Maskus held out his hand towards Steven. “Let’s test that.” Lapis gasped as Maskus shot an energy sphere towards Steven

“Steven!”

“I got this!” Steven formed a shield and blocked the attack with no problem. “But look out!”

Lapis turned and was stuck with one of Maskus’s hands. “Foolish Gem.” Maskus laughed as he wrapped Lapis around with his cloth arms. Lapis tried to free herself, but Maskus swirled her around and slammed her into the Cliffside. Lapis picked herself up and looked into the air, but he had disappeared again. “I swear I’ll cause a tsunami if you keep-”

“This up?” Maskus appeared facing her with a spear. “Now then.”

Everyone gasped as Maskus impaled Lapis Lazuli, but the Tribal men became dumbfounded when she just poofed in a cloud of smoke.

“…..What just happened to her?” Tremela asked.

“She’s fine.” Peridot said, before Maskus picked her gemstone up and incased it. “But I’m still mad! Grrrrr!”

“Give her back!” Steven shouted as he ran to the group. “If you want the Cross-Over Crystal, fine. Just give me back my friends!”

Maskus smiled. “Fine.” Maskus held out Pearl, Amethyst, and Lapis and uncased them. “Here you go.” He tossed all three gems he had to Steven.

The boy just stared at his friends in his hands for a few moments, thinking about the whole deal. “Wait, it was that easy?” Steven shrugs his arms.

“Yeah!” Peridot shouted. “You should have say ‘I’ll give ‘em back, but bring the crystal first at sundown or else I’ll-”

“Shhhhhhush!” Steven covered Peridot’s mouth. “O.K., Maskus, we’ll get that crystal for you.” Steven calmly spoke as the tribal people watched in patience.

“Good.” Maskus gently landed back to the beach. “But before we get to that, I must-”

“Steven!” Connie shouted.

“I give up.” Maskus folded his arms as Connie reached them.

“Steven, I have no idea how to say this, but …. Who are…” Connie glanced at the warriors, but shook her head for a brief moment. “Whatever, time has stopped!”

Everyone looked at the young girl with shock. “What do you mean time stopped!?”

Tremela shouted to Maskus if this was his doing, but he looked confused as well. “I have no answer. Perhaps it was something from your own world.”

“No, no. It was (burp) me.” Then a scientist looking old man appeared with a boy next to him. “Sup, names Rick. This is my grandson Morty who wastes time in school.” Rick held a ray gun in his hand. “I-I froze time. Because …. Because school sucks and she doesn’t.” Rick pointed to the horrifically shocked and confused Connie. “Now go on a school and parents free adventure while I g-give my new boss this rock.” Rick then held out the Pink Cross-Over Crystal. “Hey freak. Want this?”

Maskus eyes widened. “The Pink Cross-Over Crystal of the prophecy! Give that to me, so that I may be able to-” Again, he was interrupted, by Lion pouncing on him.

“Get off me!” Maskus shouted as Lion steps on his head and ran towards the crystal.

“Yeesh, don’t want drool on me.” Rick just tossed the crystal into the air and Lion caught it.

“Beast, give it here!” Tremela shouted. “It can understand us, right.” The Elderly woman spoke to Steven.

“When he wants.” Steven patted his legs. “Give it here, boy. Give it here.”

Maskus slowly raised his head as Lion dropped the crystal to Tremela. “No, give that to me!”

Then several tribal men shot arrows at Maskus as Tremela chanted something in an unknown language, which caused the crystal to glow more and more. “Maskus, the spell have been cast.” Tremela turned to Maskus who was having trouble standing up. “You can no longer be in this world, you monster.”

Maskus held his head as his body started shaking. “That spell….. How many times shall you cast us out from other worlds? We would have made them paradise to our eyes.”

“Your eyes, perhaps.” Tremela said. “You shall never awaken your Grand Master, you shall fail!”

Maskus trembled a bit and opened a portal behind him. “This isn’t the end, Green Eyes.” He turned to Steven. “And to you, Chosen One!”

Maskus walked into the portal and vanished from their world.

“C-Come on, Morty. We’re going with him.” Rick grabbed his grandson’s wrist.

“RICK! What’s going on!?”

“I’m replacing Stewie, that’s what.” Rick said before he dragged Morty into the portal with him and the portal closed.

Tremela looked at the glowing pink crystal and took a breath. “Maskus, you will not allow your kinds’ past sins to rise once again.”

“I don’t want that happening too.” Steven said with a sadden face. “But let’s put that to the side for right now and let me ask you something. What the heck is going on!?”
