Chapter 1 Jasper Returns

"Steven, wake up Steven". Steven slowly pulls his body up, and opens his tired eyes.

"Lapis, why are you here?" Steven asked, "Plus where is Jasper. Weren't you two fused at the bottom of the ocean?"

"Steven that's the problem", Lapis said, "The fuse broke and Jasper is coming after the Crystal Gems and me, and last time I check you're a Crystal Gem."

"Ok, I'll help, but don't we need the rest of the Crystal Gems if we are going to pull this off", Steven questioned," I mean I could tell them myself, but I think they're sleeping so let's wait until morning. Here you can stay in my room if you would like."

Lapis lies next to Steven, and Steven wrapped his arm around Lapis and was prepared to fight Jasper if it comes to it. He knew that he doesn't have the strength to take on Jasper on my alone. If Jasper does come his shield should be durable enough to hold Jasper back, but not as long as he would need.

Lapis sleeps as I can't if what she says is true then why sleep if Jasper can attack us as I sleep. All I want is to sleep, but Jasper took that dream away from me. At least I have Lapis by my side. I mean Lapis knows Jasper's personality better than anyone besides how Jasper knows herself.

The morning sun finally started to rise and the Gems all woke up. Pearl walks up and draws her spear asking," What's she doing in here Steven?" Her face was filled with rage. "Steven she hasn't hurt you has she?" Pearl asked,"

"Pearl I let her stay and Lapis and I need you and other Gems something important," Steven said," Crystal Gems Lapis woke me up last night to tell me that her and Jasper defused ,and Jasper is coming to kill us."

Amethyst and Pearl had fear glued on their faces', but Garnet smirked. Garnet chuckled," Today is the day I get my rematch".

"Hey Lapis have you ever explored Beach City?" Steven asked," I mean if you want I can show you around the city. It will be fun Lapis and see the situation we're in we kind of need a bit fun and relaxation."

"Okay Steven lets go have fun," Lapis said as we walk out the door, "Steven is this you humans call a date? You know where two people go to see if they are compatible to be a loving, trustworthy couple."

I told Lapis, "That it could be a date or not it just how she looks at it." As we step outside the warm sun glows brightly on my skin. "Hey Lapis it's a beautiful day," I said," Well first let's check out the beach.

"Steven look, It Jasper and some other gem, "Lapis whispered, "Let's see what they're talking about." Who is that other gem I wondered. "Steven that gem is Moonstone. Moonstones are a fusion of Pearl and Sapphire with both future vision and the ability to read minds," whispered Lapis.

Worries filled my thoughts as I realized that I alone can't beat Jasper without the Gems, but with Lapis's help we should be able to beat Jasper. The fusion is a whole new story that me and Lapis Lazuli can't defeat. "Lapis go get the Crystal Gems now," I commanded, "I can hold off Moonstone and Jasper until the Gems get here. Lapis just be careful."

"Steven I'll be fine you're the one who needs to be careful, "Lapis said reassuringly.

"Hey Jasper ready to get your ass kick by a hybrid," I mocked, "Neither of you can defeat me so I think you should just give up." Chuckling I drawled my shield getting ready to take the beating of my life time.

"Kid you're going down from one hit from a gem like me," Jasper threatened. She drew her powerful gem weapon. Jasper came charging at me full force swing her hammer like helmet right towards my head. I raised my shield to block the powerful hit that was coming my way. The slam on my shield pushed me back six inches. That was just one hit; I don't think I can take much more of this.

Jasper now swings her fist towards Steven's head. Steven bubbled himself to take the blow. This just angered Jasper making her attack with more force than she did before. "Hybrid I'll fucking kill you, and make you girlfriend Lapis cry over your corpse as I kill her to," Jasper screamed with fire burning bright in her eyes.

Jasper charged hitting my bubble with every part of her body she can use as a weapon. I fly backwards into the rock wall bursting my bubble. Jasper uses her spin dash attack towards my gem, but I blocked it with my shield. The dash was broken and Jasper was repelled off my shield weakening Jasper's physical form.

I charged at Jasper slamming my shield into her chest. Jasper fell back hitting the sand. "Jasper how ironic, you promised to kill me yet you're the one who is going to die" I said with a smirk. Just as I finished mocking Jasper, Lapis, The Crystal Gems, and Connie arrived.

I looked back at the gems and was head-butted into my spine collapsing in the warm, sand. Jasper stands up and charges towards Lapis slamming her into the cliff. Lapis falls on her face into the sand and I realized that her gem on her back was cracked.

Jasper picked up Lapis about to break her gem even more. "I won't let you hurt my Lapis," I yelled running in between Jasper and Lapis summing my pink bubble. Steven's anger drawled Lion in closer and they fused to create Stion. Stion is a Manticore made of rage and can level Everest in a single roar. Roaring a might roar into Jasper's face immediately destroying Jasper's gem. Steven and Lion quickly unfused.

"Lapis are you ok," Steven yelled as Garnet bubbled the shards that were once Jasper. Steven gently kissed Lapis's gem and the crack healed. Moonstone ran as Steven said romantically, "My angel, I won't let anyone hurt you again."
