Jade
Disclaimer:I do not own Steven Universe
This tower's shadow gave me a few seconds of cover. My eyes
darted across it's walls searching for a crevice I might hide in. The structure
was impressive, those gems must have spent centuries on it. Why there was no
window or anything I had no idea. It couldn't help me with a single tunnel.
I might even deserve this. I gave a possibly final thought as
everything tattered my legs as I continued darting away from my did
I even create my body this way. Should I be taller or more muscular? Whatever,
the rules here make no sense. I shouted to those tyrant worshipping gems
"Shatter me so I won't have to look at you."
I'd had it with them but that may have been a bad choice. The
largest gem formed her weapon. It was a disturbingly overpowered tank, a 2
wheeled vehicles charging at me. It roared but it wasn't like the beasts of this
planet, it was rage incarnate. I leaped to the side as it made a swift turn in
front of me.
My desperation grew as I scanned for the other attackers and did
the first thing I could think of. I summoned my saw and pried up the stone slabs
beneath it. I couldn't flip the thing, but it tilted up a little giving me a
chance to send a saw blade up at her.
My saw had 4 spinning blades and each could fly where I want. I
guess I'm a pretty powerful gem. I am outnumbered though. To that tank psycho I
shouted, "bitch must be attached manually." As she flew off of her tank. As I
couldn't prepare for I was surrounded with metal stars. I couldn't stand against
this gem 4 big spiked circles versus hundreds of little ones. I jumped as much
as I could hoping those things couldn't reach me.
I sent one of my blades but it probably just felt like me surrounded
there. I removed 2 more of my blades and just started scaling the wall. The
anxiety had a whip wrapped around my throat. It felt like my gem was cracking
already. It might as well of been.
Than came a searing bash putting a dent in my back. When a gem can
float you can't climb away from it. I got one slash at her chest and her club
hit my neck sending me down. I was now surrounded on the ground, tank bitch was
coming from the front. She was overly angry now which is where I could get her.
As she charged at me I faked charging back into her and leaped atop her whipping
my blade rite through her head.
The cloud of smoke and dropping gem was a beautiful sight. Then my
saws came at the club gem and she dodged 3 but one was still attached to the
wall behind her. There was another poof. I began shaking as more surrounded me
when a voice halted them all. He walked up to me and I was mixed between a
feeling of salvation and deeper intimidation as he instructed the surrounding
gems to return to there daily duties and they all left.
His smile always sent chills through me. Same for everyone, I'm still
trying to figure out wether or not he's doing it on purpose. Made it more
intimidating that Tigerside was so big. He was taller then the Quartz warriors
but he actually had a medium build.
He had dark orange hair with light orange and white striped skin, a
dark blue toga and feet that had toes which is normal on aliens but weird on
gems. His gem was on the top of his right foot.
His appearance also just makes my appearance look weird. It's just
kinda what I could slap together. I also have a medium build but I'm just a
little shorter than a pearl which is ironic since I'm so defective. So I made
the front right corner of my hair white which I think is cool but the rest of my
hair is a dark green color that I guess goes with being Jade.
My skin is light green from my hair down to the tip of my nose and dark
green after that. Then I have a grey shirt and pants and the shirt has a zipper
because I like it kinda. My arms have metal plating just because I'm supposed to
have some warrior attribute. The best thing I made is making my eyeballs
triangular, well some people think it's cool but I hide it a lot I don't wanna
freak anyone out. My gems on my left bicep.
I was avoiding eye contact and trying to keep my mind off the other
gems. I'd never dream that Tigerside would side with me in this situation.
Another question is why hes not fused with moonstone like usual. Topaz is a
little less unsettling then just Tigerside.
"I'm really sorry they surrounded you like that. It's sad when gems
turn on each other." Tigerside said
Ok Let's get him off the question of why they were trying to kill me, I
thought. "It happens but I kicked some serious ass. Maybe I should make a
symphony of gem poofs." Ok I went a little overboard.
"If you didn't let your fear over take you, you could take more. You
could also move a little faster. Of course a gem like you that thinks metal
plates and a zipper make him look tough sure is shockingly good." Tigerside
said
Tigerside liked to aggravate gems. "That's pretty much fair."
"But why exactly does a cute little green gem like you still not have a
fusion partner."
I sighed, "you know why."
"We have to make it work anyway. You should be happy you where spawned on
this world. Fusion is banned on home world."
"Yes, you moonstone and half the other gems on this world have told me
how they feel so much more powerful and all when your together." I was really
tired of this.
Tigerside proudly said, "most the home world gems think we're freaks but I think
this is what blood diamond would want and I praise her most for that. She's
probably the one that sent moonstone from home world. You know when she's not
playing her little games she's appreciating that she's not feeling the same
loneliness as on home world."
Ok he's driven from why I was chased. Maybe I'm smart enough to keep it
away, I know for a fact blood diamond is a myth but no one would dare go there
with him. There's another argument I can start though. "I thought home world
gems came to our planet 8152 because all the gems spawned here are male."
He sighed, "you pay to much attention to the native creatures, yes
home world gems have female qualities but gems don't have genders."
Ok that might lead him to it. There's no way I would stand a chance
against Tigerside. "Actually I think I know someone."
There's no way he bought that I was going to fuse but I tried to
make a mad dash, TRIED. At that moment I knew I was caught.
"It was a shame about turquoise. He was an exceptional gem
warrior. He probably could have stood against an entire army. However no one can
stand against the entire home world."
His eyes seemed to pierce through me. His voice got a tinge of
rage. "You could still prove your allegiance there's a group of those native
creatures that turquoise protected hiding around this area...tell me where they
are!"
The choice was here I know where half the hideouts on this planet
are. I could be a normal gem, I could rise through the ranks, bretect my friends
from the diamonds.
It wouldn't be fair those creatures are young helpless and scared like me. They
probably feel alone as I do.
I could feel Tigerside's power constricting me. He can create
these sort of barriers in and out of your body. On all my sides I pushed and
went nowhere they where not solid they where pure force. "I have no idea they
all just ran."
"You where one of my students Jade. I can tell
when you lie."
I could feel them forming in my arms and legs they grew heavier and heavier and
I could not budge. My eyes met his for a moment and then I knew he was going to
torture me until I told him. A bubble started to form in my chest my body was
becoming a war zone struggling not to poof. My gem felt miles from me.
I realized proofing was my shot. He could stop me from moving
but not from summoning. Tigerside prepared for me to launch a blade at him, I'm
not stupid enough to try that. The blade pierced through my body and in an
instant I was ingested by my gem. My survival rode on how fast I could make
these. This world had many native creatures and I knew how they worked.
The light lashed out and I scrambled to form 2 wings and
soared out of Tigerside's fingers. I know I could never take him on and I won't
survive on this planet or any gem controlled planet. I charged through the air
until I reached the nearest ship I could find. Turquoise secured it because he
thought he could get some natives off the planet. They can't survive in any
other atmosphere.
I returned to my previous form to pilot the ship it would
do. As I took off I just panicked scanning for any more pursuers. Did they know
I had this ship? Would they shoot me down? All I could do was brace for
potential impact. I just remembered something Tigerside said "no one can stand
against the entire home world." There's an interesting piece of gem history.
There was a successful gem rebellion. That pink gem I think her name was...Rose
Quartz. I don't have anywhere else to go, I could find her.
