Steven Universe:

Tale of Prism

By Inki Crow

Day 1:

Down on the bottom of the ocean, lies a beast of enourmous power and rage... well, to tell you the truth, it's actually Malachite. Lapis has been going through pain for just months since she merged with Jasper. However, she wasn't expecting that she would break earlier than expected.

Now with Jasper in control again, Malachite breaks the chains and rises to the surface, rushing to land, ready to start her hunt once again. Near her location was a town named Redstone, on the side of swamps and beach, it was a a calm place. But that calmness wouldn't last long, as Malachite emerges from the sea, heading towards the town. As the townspeople scream and scatter in panic, Malachite raises her hand, as giant waves are summoned ready to devastate the town. Malachite laughs maniacly as she sends the waves to run over everything in its path, however, the waves were cut by a mysterious beam of light, reducing greatly the waves' magnitude, only drowning the beach. Malachite raises her sight, and she saw in the distance a gray figure with glowing hair. The figure jump to land close to her, and seeing clearer, it was a female, gray skin, glowing hair that changes colors, three black eyes, with blue, red and green pupils, and she was wearing a white long jacket with blue, red and green accents. Before Malachite could make a move, the woman spoke...

?: You could at go through the town without wrecking anything.

Malachite didn't know how to reply, nor did she cared. Then the woman extended like waiting for a salutation.

Prism: Name's Prism, well, that's a nickname the town gave me. It sounds way better than my actual name...

Malachite: ...

Prism: It's of good manners to shake hands and exchange names. It ain't that difficult.

Malachite extends her hand as to accept Prism's salutation, only to clench her fist and crush her whole. Suddenly, her hand was sliced open by Prism using a sword of light.

Malachite: GAH!

Prism: Sooo I guess you're not here for a friendly conversation.

Malachite: You'll pay for that!

Prism: Makes sense, I still have to pay yesterday's bills.

And so, Malachite rushes towards Prism, leaving a trail of damage as she strikes Prism, only for her to dodge over and counter with a kick in the face. Malachite gets angrier and she raises a hand from the sea and tries to crush Prism. Prism dodges the attack and climbs the water arm to then jump and strike Malachite on the face using dual light swords, and it cut Malachite's arms more and damaged her torso. Malachite seeing that she's not having a good time, she raises the sea and attacks Prism with a massive barrage of water needles. Prism deflects needles with light fast sword swings, it looks like illusions of multiple Prisms, and she jumps towards Malchite to land a killing blow, slicing Malachite's torso open.

Malachite: This can't be! I just broke from her prison!

Prism: And now you go down there again!

And POOF! Malachite's massive body was turned to dust as the only thing remaining from her fall were her gems.

Prism: That was easy. In fact way to easy. I was expecting a bit of a challenge, since the giant lady thing...

Prism looks at the gems, and begins to think...

All is pitch black for a while. Now Lapis finally wakes up, and she finds that she's just herself, no longer in a fusion state. Lapis was full of joy, but it suddenly turned into fear. Jasper was nowhere to be seen, and this worried Lapis, and spawned many questions. Where is Jasper? Is she still hunting down Steven? And where is she? Lapis stands up, she's at a beach at almost midnight, however when she turns to see the town, it's not Beach City that she's standing on. She walks towards the town, but then a whispering voice stops her.

"Don't you know how to greet a new pal?"

"It's proper manners to shake hands and exchange names. It's not hard."

"Now turn around and shake my hand."

Lapis slowly turns around, she sees a shadow figure of a man, then this man extends his hand to give his greeting. Lapis, hesitant, gives her hand and accepts it.
