The Golden Diamond

By: Hugo Olvera

Hollow High School is the oldest high school in the world. Looking at it from the outside it
actually reminds you of Hogwarts. Our Senior class had to choose either to go to this The Relic
Museum or go see some play for History Class. The obvious choice is the museum; none of us
wanted to sit through a four hour play. The museum is a lot bigger in the inside compared to the
outside; it's twice the size of The Smithsonian. It has massive doors, and on the other side of these
doors it feels like when you are going through Airport Security. Once you pass the immense security.
All you can see are the massive crowds of people. As we made our way through, all these people, all
off different ages, people who come from all over the world.
We were making our way through the crowd, until this one person bumped into me as I
turned around all I saw was this person dressed all in black, rushing towards, an exhibit which held a
find that was founded a few days ago, it was said to be a find of a lifetime, which was the front cover
of all magazines and top news on all channels. As I turned around to see where I was going again, I
found that my class was separating into their own groups, as our teacher and our guide, told us the
Dos and Donts but no one was actually paying attention, except for those few. Afterwards, my
group decided to go towards the newly opened exhibit, as we came closer, I saw the person who
bumped into me, a shadow covered the face from the big black hat as the light from the ceiling
shined down, the person wore black shoes, black gloves, black outfit.
As finally got close to the exhibit it displayed it, the find of a lifetime, lights shining from all
angles towards the center which held The Gold Diamond. The biggest diamond and the only one of
its kind on Earth. Some of us couldnt help but to stare at the person instead of the time because of
the way they were dressed but also by the body language as they stood in front of The Gold
Diamond. The lights went off all of a sudden, then the back-up lights came on and The Gold
Diamond was gone. Me and two of my best friends came to the conclusion that the mysterious
person was the one who stole it. At the corner of my eye I saw the person exiting through a side
door. But what the person did not know, is that they picked the wrong location, on the wrong day,
and a the wrong time, to steal...
The three of us are indeed students but we are also secret agents - more known throughout
the media as "men in black". People who deal with top secret stuff. You are probably being watched
right now...as you are reading this. My force included Kendra, a very smart girl, blonde almost white
hair, blue eyes, tan skin, she loved to wear the latest clothes even though she always ruins them after
our missions. Dan looks a lot like his dad, he is one of the best of the best when it comes down to
improvising, he has a few freckles that go across his nose, outgoing, deep voice, he has black hair
and is captain of the Cross Country Team, he has big shoes to fill, you may ask why? well his dad is
the nationally known James Bond. And lastly but not least me, I am number one in my division,

light black wavy hair, blue eyes, lead guitarist in my band. No one knows that we are agents, and is
up to us to get The Gold Diamond back. We sneaked out through the same exit. With no
transportation we saw some bikes on the Bike Rack, so we borrowed them. The person got into a
car and was heading out to the road. We were right on their trail. After half an hour the car stopped at
a house on Orinoco Street. We darted behind the nearest couple of bushes where we left the bikes.
We made our way to a closer bush that was near the car.

Kendra, Look its going in but I can't see a face.

Dan, Look at the window the third one from the left, the person threw The Gold Diamond at the
floor.

That wasn't the real Gold Diamond... What we saw next was unexpected the person took off
their hat - it was a woman, she went out the door and got inside the car and drove off rather quickly.

Dan, "It's a womannn? I was thinking it might have been a man or a creature or even a alien!"

Kendra still had that look, the one that she gets when she doesnt know something or she gets
frustrated, her eyebrows kind of come together as if she were mad, and she goes into deep thought. I
knew that she wanted to know who this woman was. I looked at the house a second time I noticed
that a window was slightly open. I cautiously moved towards the window, and signaled them that it
was safe, as Kendra and I made our way through. The window suddenly closed living Dan outside.

The window is stuck. he said hesitantly

Be on the lookout because its not budging. I told him

Kendra saw The Gold Diamond and placed it in the containment box. I pressed the Automatic
Control and a car was waiting for us in the back alley, we got in, as the car drove off I hit the
controller one more time, we needed to be airborne, the car shook and the wings unfolded from
underneath and off we were being flown to Headquarters. Once there, I ran further diagnostics on
this Gold Diamond and who the mysterious woman was by looking at the fingerprints left behind on
it.

My assumption was right by these results, this is a fake, but it also gives a very descriptive analysis
of a tomb where the actual diamond was found, the scientists are still trying to find a way to decipher
what the tomb says but dont know where to start, unlucky them they dont have all this advance
technology, this is a piece of cake, anddd the paintings are deciphered in 1...2...3 dialect still
unknown but it says here that the paintings say that eons ago there was a mass destruction that killed
off the dinosaurs, it also shows a humanoid holding it up to the sky, using it as a tool to control all
four elements fire, water, earth and wind. At the hand of the person who wields it, they will have
immense power. So the diamond was entombed for all eternity so it wouldnt be used ever again...
Hey the fingerprint results just finished the fingerprints belong to the well known scientist Cleo
Kilton, says here that she was the head honcho for supplying the government with all kinds of
weapons that were ahead of this time, but they discovered she was building an army of robots which
far surpassed any weapon that she had given to the government, the government found that one
single robot can destroy an entire nation, so they decided to confiscated all of them, and took all her
blueprints of her yet to be created inventions, and stopped funding her. It also says that when they
took the blueprints one of them was missing and that it was never found, a blueprint labeled Project
Lazarus. Now everything is starting to fall into place you guys! The Golden Diamond isss Project
Lazarus, she is going to use it to take over the world!
Dan, How do you knowif this Golden Diamond is capable of what it is deciphered to do.
Really Dan anything is possible, you know this, what about everything else we have encountered
like Mermaids, DragonsWait the computer is showing that the real Golden Diamond is 100 yards
below the museum.
Kendra, We need to go to the museum, as fast as we can. Wait an earthquake of point eight is
coming this way.
News reports say that the museum had a second robbery.
We need to go now! Before she causes more damage, where do we find her.
The paintings say that in order for The Golden Diamond to work at its full potential it has to be at
the highest point of elevation, and the nearest mountain would be Mt. Chien.
Dan, Well lets go you guys!!

Off we went to Mt. Chien, when we got there, Cleo was there. We jumped off the jet with
our parachutes. The weather was changing dramatically and we needed to act quick, we couldn't
salvage The Golden Diamond and stop her... We have to destroy Golden Diamond. I took out the
laser gun and took the shot, it was destroyed but the weather was not stopping. We landed and went
on pursuit of Cleo as she was making her escape Kendra took the shot and stunned her, we have to
find a solution quick, we got Cleo in the jet and took her back to Headquarters.

Youre too late even though The Golden Diamond was destroyed, the weather wont stop. You are
the one who caused this by destroying it, I was only giving the people a taste of my power, but then
you obliterated itthe weather is just going to continue, and get worse with no way of stopping it.
Kendra, Cole, Dan. Who do we all know is known to control the weather?
Ummm...Mother Nature
Yes! I think she might know how to stop this.

So Kendra is saying that we have to get a hold of Mother Nature...how are we going to do
that. It's not like we can text her up, for a get together. Then the ground started to shake, at first I
thought it was another aftershock but this time it was different, fog started to form near the floor, it
became very bright, and everything stopped as it had began. In front of us stood this beautiful
woman, she wore no shoes, pale as the moon, in a dress made of plants, her hair reached her waist,
her eyes were green. When she spoke it sounded like the roar of thunder.

FOR YOUR GREED CLEO YOU HAVE UNBALANCED THE FORCES OF NATURE!
Excuse me? Cleo said as she was on the floor shaking with fear.
BUT YOU COLE, HOW FOOLISH OF YOU TO YOU DESTROY THE GOLDEN DIAMOND.
Mother Nature I thought that by destroying the Diamond, it would stop the weather, but it didnt
work, please we need your help.
COLE AND CLEO THIS WILL BE YOUR TEST, FAIL TO COMPLETE, AND EARTH WILL BE
LOST AND EVERY LIFE ON THIS PLANET WILL BECOME EXTINCT. THE TEST IS TO
FIND THE SECOND DIAMOND THIS DIAMOND, THE SILVER DIAMOND IT ALSO HAS
THE SAME ABILITIES AS THE GOLDEN. YOU WILL USE IT TO STOP THE CHANGES.
Cleo, Why can't you just use whatever you do, your magic or something?
YES I CREATED THEM TO HELP ME BUT THEY GREW IN POWER EACH AND
EVERYDAY, BECOMING DANGEROUS AND I BANISHED THEM DEEP IN THE EARTH,
THESE DIAMONDS ARE MORE POWERFUL THAN I, YOU HAVE TO STOP THESE
CHANGES - BEFORE IT DESTROYS THE WORLD. YOUR JOURNEY BEGINS AT EARTH'S
CORE..."

Mother Nature disappeared, her voice got fainter until it was complete silence.

Dan, Cole the weather is getting worse the water is rising and climate is changing, you two need to
leave now, take the excavator.

I got the keys, as the engine started - the front of it which looked like a cone went to full
speed, drove it outside of Headquarters, and on we went drilling down to the core. It was a bumpy
ride, but this excavator was the latest invention going at half of lights speed and we were there. We
got out of the excavator, and there stood a temple made of magma, it was the only thing here it
illuminated this dark cavern. But then all of a sudden the entire cavern shined, this cavern was the
center, but magma flew around it, it almost looked like an invisible shield was holding it back, inside
the temple there was an inscription on a rock; the writing on it said, You will be judged.

Cleo, What does that evennn mean?!.

My thermal gadget showed that magma was coming our way. We ran to the excavator but
Cleo stopped because in her path magma was rising from the ground and falling from the ceiling,
whatever was holding the magma back was weakening.

HELP!!!
Dont move!

The magma was going towards Cleo. I took out a gadget that shoots a small harpoon with a
very strong wire thats unbreakable, which I shot at the cavern ceiling, I swung towards Cleo picking
her up and swung towards the excavator safely. As I was going into the excavator, magma came from
all directions placing Cleo in the middle of it in a circle but I was late by seconds, the magma bursted
upwards encasing Cleo, and the only thing I could hear was her shrieking screams, as her skin and
body melted away. I had to get back now because the lava was after me now. I started up the
excavator and drove it at full speed, half way to the top the tunnel behind me collapses stopping the
lava. Now it's up to meand I have no clue what to do. But at the last minute the words of the
temple played over and over again in my head. But then something came over me and the phrase in
my mind changed to something else, and I forgot what the rock had engraved and now the phrase I
remember is Many have traveled through here, some lost, aliens have thought to have a base here,
off the coast of the U.S. to the south. at its center, will be what you seek.

I know where the second clue is...it's in the center of The Bermuda Triangletime is running out I
have to get the guys.
