So this is my first SU fanfic, so I hope its decent and that some people like it?..
Onwards!
Gems are magical creatures (in humans eyes) that inhabit many planets, Homeworld being their main one. They have powers humans could never hope to withhold, along with immortality that could make sure they used their powers for good.
That wasnt the case, however.
The leaders of this advanced civilization, The Diamonds, were full of greed, wanting to take the life out of numerous planets in order to restock their own. Earth wasn't excluded from this, but a few certain gems love for the planet made them stand up to the hate of these leaders.
War broke out, and thousands opon thousands of gems fought each other. It didn't matter if they were formerly friends, subordinates, partners, or whatever else they could've been. They had to fight for their side, to the death, if necessary.
A lot of things happened to these gems before and after the war..
Some were shattered, a fate equivalent to death; they were forgotten, lost forever in that war. All in the chaos of the battlefield.
Some lived, a very few for the rebellions side. They lived to tell the tale of the thousand year battle, how gruesome it was, the thought of death on their minds.. It wasn't a good fate, even though it was, well, living.
Some were.. Corrupted, being forced into another form and into a world of confusion and insanity. All when it came to who they used to be and why this was happening to them.
And some were in a fate worse then death or corruption; the clusters, a failed experiment that forced several different gems together in order to create something that would eradicate Earth and its occupants once and for all.
As you can see, it wasn't always just Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl, and Steven.(Rose Quartz) There was more gems on their side of the war, trapped in the depths of being forgotten.
These are the stories of these forgotten souls.
Part 1: Obsidian:
The cell was dark
Water dripped from the numerous holes in the ceiling, not helping the already chilly temperature of the cell.
Moonlight filtered from the bars of the cells indestructible windows, giving a taste of the outside world.
It was always out of reach.
Amongst this, sat a girl, a gem at that.
Her ebony hair flowed to the middle of her back, stopping right in the middle of her black and purple diamond embroidered armor. Her very light violet skin gleaming in whatever light had shone opon it. Her abnormal purple eyes were full of fear and hatred.
She was huddled in the corner, where the darkest of shadows were, hiding from the inevitable.
I cant believe in being forced to do this.. She thought, but, she wasn't surprised at the same time, Homeworld was always the place where lower class gems got forced to do things.(against their will, and they obviously had no say in it)
She was never a fighting type of gem, but no, Citrine had to force her to partake in these battles.
It was all utter bullshit
Obsidians were usually gems used to work in mines and/or in kindergartens
She was the first to fight.
Besides of the ones in the rebellion. After all, they weren't forced to sitting in the large crater of stone and to deal with newly formed, annoying Quartzes.
Her cell door opened, the silhouettes of the two guards(both Chalcedony, ugh, she hated Chalcedonies) in the brighter light unnerving.
She stood up, bracing herself
They shackled her, before leading her out into the arena
The crowd was huge, gems cheered as she was led out into the center, wanting to see the fight
...No ones going to bet on me.. And then Citrine will-
She shuddered at the thought, though that wasn't anything new..
To think I actually miss the kindergartens...
She was a small gem, small for her kind, though, so she was taken out of that work.
She sighed, tugging on her armor, making sure it wouldn't fall off during the battle. (Again, she was small, it could slide off her at anytime.. It was actually a Jets armor, after all)
She looked up as another gem was lead out into the stadium, a Jasper, as it seemed.
...she was utterly screwed
What was Citrine thinking? She shook her head, getting into a battle stance ..never mind
The destabilizing field crackled with electricity, making even those in the back of the stadium unnerved of its power and/or what It could do to them in mere seconds.
The Jasper smirked, scanning the gem up and down.
Obsidian shuddered, before hesitantly placing a hand on her gem, where she summoned her weapon.
Or should I say weapons.
"What the hell?"
"What?"
Cries of surprise cried from the audience, Obsidian couldn't help but inwardly smirk when she hear Citrines voice among them.
Obsidian stood, two scythes in her hands as she faced the Jasper, who had by now summoned her helmet.
She grinned at the look of disbelief on the other gems face, but that grin quickly fell as she heard the shouts around her.
"200!"
"430!"
Well, I have a lot of people to disappoint.
She didnt care about the bets, you see. She knew why hey were betting on her now, Obsidians usually had shovels as 'weapons' to help in kindergartens.
That was kind of a dick move, on their part, but...
She just didn't want to get shattered.
The Jasper leapt at her, the snarl on her face remained.
Jaspers.. Never think before they fight,
She was lucky that Jaspers weapon sucked, she would've been poofed instantly if it was something good.
She dodged underneath her, slashing at her legs.
The jasper stumbled, before quickly spinning around, trying to knock the smaller gem off her.
No, no. Obsidian wasn't going to have any of that.
She backed up, watching as the jasper spun around in that bright orange blur.
She couldn't help but chuckle at the silly scene.
The Jasper quickly stopped, realizing that the Obsidian wasn't being chased.
Jasper growled, her orange eyes blazing as hatred coursed through her
..Oh no
With a battle cry, the jasper leapt at her with astounding speed, grabbing the smaller gem with her big ham hands.
With that, her weapons disappeared in a flash of light
Obsidian froze, not knowing what to do.
Jasper smirked, punching at the small gem, doing quite a bit of damage.
Obsidian fell, breathing heavily, blood dripping from her head (It wasn't exactly blood, it was more or less energy)
"Looks like the battles over then? Isn't it?"
Obsidian looked up, her purple eyes glowing
"I won't fall to you!"
Quickly, she leapt up, summoning her scythes slashing at her with them, before digging her fists into the Jaspers head.
The Jasper, not expecting her speed, fell down. Crashing into the ground hard.
"What's about now?"
"Its too bad you don't have a shovel.. Because you're the one that will need to be swept up."
"That doesn't make any sense." Obsidian brought her scythe down, making the Jasper wince
"YOU BETTER WIN, OBSIDIAN!" A gruff voice called from the audience, cries of agreement following it.
She turned to look at where the voice came from, startled by it.
Big mistake.
The Jasper leapt up, flinging her aside like a small toy, nearly into the destabilizing field around the stadium.
But when she went to grab the black gem, but Obsidian was ready
Obsidian climbed over Jasper, holding onto the top of her head
She knew she wasn't strong enough to beat her normally, but if she could tire this gem out.. She'd have a chance..
The Jasper growled, flinging her head around, once again trying to get the smaller gem off her.
As the orange gems movements slowed, Obsidian still held on, content her plan was working.
She didn't know that the Jasper was planning, she was brains and brawn after all, a good package..
Obsidian desummoned her weapon, leaving her with her fists in hopes of getting a better grip to the brown gems explosive hair.
Jasper was waiting for this, and as soon as Obsidians scythes disappeared in a flash of light.. She summoned her weapon.
Obsidian jerked slightly as the place she gripped onto was replaced by, cold, hard metal.
The helmet! Obsidian nearly smacked herself when she came to a realization, I cant believe I forgot her weapon! She froze once again, not knowing what to do.
The Jasper reached for her, grabbing her torso with her big hands; and with one more powerful throw, she was sent flying into the destabilizing fence
...Damn..
With that, her world was spun into darkness.
"Where is she?!"
The gem huddled in the corner of the room, having newly regenerated. Trying as best she could to conceal herself in the shadows once more.
She didn't want to be caught after all
But it was inevitable
Citrine towered over her huddled form, smirking as she continued to back away
"You little rat. How dare you."
Obsidian covered her face, letting her hair cover her abnormal purple eyes.
The sign of her defect
And for the second time that day .
All was lost for Obsidian.
a/n: I'm legit crying, I accidently deleted this twice after I finished writing it..
Sorry for the rambling at the beginning, it was necessary.
And yes, this is a series. But I might take ocs for oneshots based on them.
So uh, Review? I want to see if I should continue this.. and they would be greatly appreciated.
Bye! Have a nice day :3
