Author's note: So I've written fanfics before, actually still working on them, this is kinda a hobby fanfic that I'm really into right now. So anyway, let's get started, more explained at the end.

As Steven, Amethyst, and Pearl stepped onto the warp pad to leave, Amethyst quickly glanced back, at her hole, her rocks, and at the broken machinery from her and Pearls battle. She felt a longing, a nostalgic feeling almost when here, but at the same time, she felt a fear and hatred, this place represented something evil, it represented everything she despised, and unfortunately that included a part of herself, a part of her she could never let go.

"Crystal Gems forever!" Steven shouted into the air, raising his fist to the sky, he held Amethyst hand, as she held Pearl's. A small smile gracing the lips of the three companions as they prepared to warp.

"Now let's go home so Steven can sleep in a bed." Steven said, and the three warped back to the temple. Suddenly an ominous banging began as the environment darkened. One of the machines, disturbed by the battle, began to glow as it started back up, it positioning itself on the wall and began to drill, filling the cold, dark silence, with an ambient noise of machinery, it injected the corrupted earth gem into place in it's drilled hole, pumping warm mysterious alien fluids into the space, similar to embryonic fluid, smoke began to eminent from the machine as it worked, it was a strange and mysterious process, one that hasn't been elaborated on by it's creators, not all the factors were truly understood yet, but one thing was certain.

A new Gem was being born...

Back at the Temple

Steven was outside on the beach playing with Connie as the two of them ran down the shore line laughing and playing. He was simply being a kid, but even at such a young age he couldn't deny that he felt something more for Connie than just friendship, he just didn't know what yet. But as the two of them ran along in the surf, water lapping at their small feet, Steven couldn't help but smile at her laugh, at her sweet smile in the sunlight. She was his best friend, and he was happy with that for now. Unaware to the two happy playful children, the Crystal Gems were having a serious, in-depth, discussion of today's events and how they should go about them.

"Amethyst, look, I know what you were trying to do but, I think you knew taking Steven there was risky and dangerous, I know that place is an important part of your history, as it is in ours but Steven could have been seriously hurt, if not downright disturbed by the dark scenery in that area." Garnet spoke in her calm, collected, and rather emotionless voice. Pearl nodded, sitting there listening intently to Garnet's speech, Amethyst listened, but it was with barely a string of interest in the conversation, she knew that her friends were worried about Steven, but she also knew that under her care nothing would happen to him, she'd make sure he was ok.

"What if you guys accidently activated some of the Gem Technology there? Do you know how disastrous that could've been? Look Amethyst, I care deeply for you, and for Steven, I just want you to be careful, that's all." Pearl said, taking the reins of the conversation for a minute, Amethyst nodded in understanding, Pearl sighed, she knew her young companion wouldn't really listen to her advice, she was reckless, but that was what made her so refreshing at times, was her unpredictable nature, she was like that annoying energetic sister that just wouldn't act right.

Garnet was emotionless, she saw many outcomes for the events that could've happened, one of which was the Gem Technology activating, but that was such a small possibility is was almost improbable in her opinion. She watched Steven playing on the beach from the window, and Garnet couldn't help but feel like, maybe the information he learned wasn't bad, it simple made him feel closer to his friends, his family.

"I don't think it was a bad thing Amethyst, I just think next time you should talk to us first." Garnet said, using discernment and future vision to come to a conclusion that would benefit both parties and keep both of the Gems in front of her happy.

"Now, let's just relax, we have some time before Steven comes back, and I trust that this issue is resolved, however, I suggest that once a week, we do a patrol, we go to every warp pad location on earth, check the area, and make sure everything is secure, and nothing has gone wrong or changed. Can't be too careful now with the homeworld gems can we?" Garnet said, and her companions nodded, they heard Steven and Connie bounding up the steps and quickly changed the conversation topic to something less troubling.

Time skip 1 week

Suddenly the huge parasitic bacteria like machine pulled back from the bedrock, finished it's objective. The ground began to shake slightly as the new Gem began to emerge from it's hole. As it emerged into the open air, it fell from it's place in the wall, landing on its hands and knees, it struggled to stand, like a young animal learning to walk, it began to look at itself in the little light available in area, it gazed at it's hands first before looking at it's unclothed body, he had almost no memory of anything, although he felt like he should know who he was or is, or what he is. He thought hard trying to remember and finally his mind figured it out. He knew one thing from gazing at his body, he was definitely male. Despite being genderless, he knew by his masculine shape and broad shoulders he was no female.

"My name is Obsidian, and I'm a Crystal Gem." He thought as he rubbed the gem on his chest, suddenly his incubator machine began whirling again as it prepared to make another Gem, the sudden noise surprised the newborn Gem, and he threw his hands up around his face to protect himself from whatever was making the sudden noise, the ground rose up and slammed into the machine, crushing it instantly. Obsidian slowly let his arms down and the earth slowly lowered also. As he gazed at the destruction he caused in awe, he held up his hand and tried to control the earth again but it wouldn't listen to his command, he was confused, but none the less tried again, focusing and concentrating on the earth around him, it shook slightly, he tried to channel his focus and emotions to control it, but it wasn't working, the ground just shook slightly, he tried to summon some earth, just a small amount, a circular jagged shield jumped up onto his arm. He jumped back slightly in surprise, earning a few scratches from the jagged rock, he began focusing on smoothing out the center, leaving the edges jagged but in a wave pattern. Obsidian sat down as he gazed around, Was this place his home? Did he belong here? What was his purpose? And where did he come from? These were only a small set of questions rushing through his mind, he heard the fluttering of paper, and suddenly a magazine smacked against his bare leg. It made him jump slightly, but he reached down and picked up the magazine. He began flipping through the pages, it was a clothing magazine, and Obsidian was surprised that he knew how to read it.

He found the pictures most interesting, as he flipped through, he didn't notice his body glowing as if it was waiting for a command. He stopped on the last page, he was looking at a man in dressed in a pair of faded black jeans, a black t shirt with an angel on it, a pair of black combat boots, and a black trench coat. He liked the look, at that thought his body glowed brighter and he suddenly felt himself change as the outfit shapeshifted onto his body. He went and looked at himself in the reflect surface of a machine, if definitely was the outfit from the magazine, but this was the first time he got to see himself, he had black hair that was spiked in the front and his eyes were just as dark as his hair. His skin was only a few shades darker than a Caucasian man, but it was more grayish, though he could pass for human, his gem glowed under his shirt in the center of his chest, it was a circular facet cut. Obsidian was quite attractive, despite having no idea what attraction was.

As he looked at his reflection in the glass, a part of him felt disgusted, he was a monster, an experiment and he hated it. He punched the glass and began to viciously beat the machine into the ground with his fists. He didn't like this place, he wanted to destroy it. He felt an itch in his gem, an urge almost, he began feeling as if he was channeling his anger and disgust for this place into his gem, he reached towards it to scratch it, when suddenly it glowed and a handle glowing white extended out from his black gem. He took in the handle and pulled his gem weapon from his chest, a black Broadsword, or Xiphos, at least 4 feet in length, it was a smooth double edged blade, sharper than any kind of steel or normal human blade, the material was obsidian, just like his gem, the Handle was wrapped in a black leather, which was perfectly formed for his fingers, while in his hand the blade felt perfectly balanced, the pummel of the blade had a smooth obsidian stone in it. He felt a special connection with this weapon, one that could never be broken. Obsidian turned to the Kindergarten machines, a smile on his face, the earth rose up to form a stone shield on his left forearm, as he wielded his blade in his right hand, Obsidian charged to the closest machine and slashed his blade clean through it before throwing his shield into another one, knocking the machine into a wall. He hated this place, he didn't know why, but in his heart he could feel that this place was wrong, it was evil, and it had created him. Did that make him evil?

He glared at the next machine in front of him, a sickening hatred swelling up in him, he was a monster, created by these disgusting machines, he weaved through the machines, slashing them through with his sword, slamming them down into the ground with his stone shield, he felt himself becoming giddy with the thrill of breaking these machines, Obsidian's movements were so fluid, like a dancer gliding across a dancefloor, only this ballet was much deadlier than any human dance technique. Obsidian lept into the air with inhuman agility and brought a stone covered foot down into a machine, causing it to rumble and explode as he gracefully back flipped off of it. He threw his sword like a dart, it impaled several machines in it's path against a stone wall. He called it back to him with a mental command and proceeded to decimate the Kindergarten. He loved the feeling of crushing metal under his strength, the feeling of destroying things with such grace and speed. Obsidian was so caught up in his destruction and self gratitude that he didn't notice or hear the warp pad activating behind him…

In The Warp Stream To Kindergarten

Amethyst and Steven were warping to different warp pad locations on the planet, it killed the purple Gems mood, she was completely and utterly bored, having seen all these things many times, she wanted to do something fun, something destructive, something entertaining. Steven however was having an absolute blast, the youngest Gem enjoyed seeing all of these different Gem monuments from history. These were things normal humans didn't get to see, this was stuff from his mother's past, and he felt like with each place they warped to, he learned more about his friends, about his family. Amethyst was nervous though, the next place to check was the Kindergarten a place that she both loved and despised, it was her birth place, her past, a part of her, but it was also a symbol of something evil. A piece of her that she felt disgusted and hateful towards. Amethyst wanted to bury that place, put it in the very back of her mind.

"Can I try warping us there this time?" Steven asked excitedly, Amethyst sighed with amusement at the child but nodded her permission as they stood on the warp pad in the temple, they had been taking a short break.

"Sure Steven, we have to go to the Kindergarten though, make sure you warp us to the right place." Amethyst said ruffling the child's hair. She loved Steven, the boy was like her little brother, and she would never let anyone hurt him. Amethyst would die before someone touched her little Steven. Steven put his arms out to his sides and scrunched up his face in concentration as he began to warp them to the Kindergarten. Steven remembered it vividly, it had freaked him out to be there, though he was not traumatized he still would never forget that place. The warp stream activated and gravity disappeared as Steven began laughing as he floated through the air in the warp stream.

"I am the warp master! Master of warp!" Steven shouted as he floated around, Amethyst chuckled at Steven and allowed herself to float too. She made sure to keep him from floating outside the warp stream as they traveled through it. Amethyst knew it would only take a few minutes to reach their destination, she chose this time to laugh and play with Steven, but also to think. If someone as innocent and cute as Steven looked up to her, and loved her, how bad could I really be? The Kindergarten was my past, but that didn't mean it had to define who I was. So I would simply press on, I would define myself with those who loved me and I loved, my family and friends would define me. Finally the warp stream deactivated and the two Gems dropped a few feet down onto the warp pad, landing on their butts. The two of them burst into laughter, until Amethyst heard the sound of smashing metal. She turned quickly and immediately saw the destruction of all machines or as she called them "old gem junk". Amethyst instantly jumped up, Steven at her side with worry.

"Amethyst, I don't remember the Kindergarten being completely destroyed like this. Did you, Garnet, and Pearl come and destroy all this?" Steven asked, suddenly a loud crash and explosion went off deeper in the Kindergarten, around a corner of the canyon.

"Come on Steven quickly! And stay close to me. This could be a very serious Gem monster or something much much worse." Amethyst said as the two Gems raced across the canyon, Amethyst carrying Steven under her arm as she leapt over broken and flaming pieces of machinery. Amethyst wouldn't tell Steven but she was kind of scared of what this could be. After all they were in the Kindergarten, it could be a new Gem, an evil one with an actual brain, or a home world Gem coming to check over everything. But if it was a home world Gem or a new Gem, why would they destroy the machines? As Amethyst rounded the corner she prepared herself for whatever she was gonna see, what she didn't expect was to see a normal man with a black sword slashing through one of the machines.

"Who are you?" Amethyst shouted at him, the man turned around and stepped backwards in surprise, Amethyst would be lying if she said he wasn't cute, but she was here for one reason and she wasn't interested in humans. His hand tightly gripping his sword, he looked between Amethyst and Steven.

"My name is Obsidian, I'm a Crystal Gem." Was all that left his mouth

'God help us." Amethyst thought to herself

Authors note: So what's everybody think? It's not the best chapter, and I will definitely do some more editing and such to smooth it out as I get the hang of what I'm trying to do with this story. But anyway what do you think? Is it good? is it bad? Do you think I should use a different Gem? Do you like his weapon? Or introduction? Also I know he may seem dumb, and it may seem weird that he doesn't know how to react to something's. Honestly I kinda imagine him at this stage as a full grown child, he doesn't know much because I imagine that when new gems are born, the existing gems teach them just like people teach their kids. Which is why Amethyst was able to choose to side with Rose Quartz. Also in order to get a picture of where his Gem is, I used Amethyst Gem placement on her chest, but it's more in position of where Iron Man keeps his arc reactor. Also since we don't know much about how the Kindergarten works, I will be using a couple of fan theories. I may have a beta I may not. If you would like to offer me some assistance that'd be great. I'll be putting up a poll for a pairing, also this will mostly follow canon, once either canon episodes end, or I have a better idea for plot I will deviate more towards my ideas. Anyway see you next time! Over and out!
