Chapter 1: Onyx Reborn
About a month after the events of the Cluster and Malachite, Steven was running along the beach, he was not paying attention to anything as he was here with the other Crystal Gems. They didn't notice it either, a round like black stone, about the same shape as Lapis' but a bit more rigid, and it had a decent sized fracture in it. Steven was running along the water about five hundred yards away as garnet was throwing him a football. He tripped over the small black rock, and the football hit him in the head as he landed. Steven looked at the rock with wonder, his eyes glistening in the usual star shape as he saw it. He picked up the rock, while yelling "Guys! Come here and look at this!" Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl all darted over to Steven, and he presented the rock to them, the sand streaming off of it. Soon it was revealed to be an Onyx. "You think it's a gem from homeworld?" Steven queried. Pearl looked at it curiously. "I've never seen an onyx made on homeworld...it's very unlikely that it is." The onyx started to levitate in Steven's hands, and a black light was emitted from it, soon a left hand and a right leg sprouted from the gem, then consecutively, the other two limbs, then the head. There was a figure of a man bathed in gray light, and his gem was in is forehead. The man dropped down on his knees, and as soon as he did, the gems readied their weapons. Steven stared at the man in wonder, his mouth hanging wide open, the light faded from his body, revealing dark gray skin, lavender eyes and white hair. He was wearing black slacks, and a black muscle T-shirt. "Who are you!?" Pearl yelled, the man looked up at them in shock, then melded into the shadows before there could be further questioning "WAIT!" Steven yelled, attempting to tackle the gem, but he was already gone.
The man reappeared in the heart of the Temple of which the gems resided. He thought he was safe, but little did he know, the gems he saw lived her. He sat down on the grown exhausted, his gem was cracked, and he didn't have his full strength. His shadow travel was draining at that far a distance, even at full strength. "Looks like Rose failed in the rebellion...there are gems on this planet...but my concern is why the cluster didn't go off and destroy this planet like it was supposed to...if only I didn't turn my back on Blue Diamond, I would have one the fight!" He pounded his fist into the ground, cracking the floor beneath it. "I don't know who those gems were, but one of them looked familiar...the amethyst...but where have I seen her before? She must have been one of my enemies in the war...I guess I'll see soon enough...I'm going to save this planet from the homeworld gems...one civilization at a time..."
Onyx climbed up the veins of the heart of the Temple, to the door. He looked at it curiously, but it immediately melded open for him. Not a few seconds after, the warp pad busted to life, the blue light streaming towards the sky, and the gems appeared before him. He hid in the side of the doorframe. "Well that was uneventful." Said Amethyst, clearly bored. "Except for that gem we encountered." Said Pearl, still completely curious. "Well, I'm going to my room." Amethyst said, turning to go face the door. "Uh...guys...is the door to the heart of the Temple supposed to be open?" "Amethyst what are you talking ab-" She turned to face Amethyst and looked at the door in shock, her eyes looked shallow, and her mouth was open, mid sentence. The normal five point star with gems, had a black gem in the center, an Onyx. The one and only, Onyx.
