Hey guys! :D
I fell in love with Steven Universe at the sight of Amethyst, it's an awesome character and I wanted to write something were she and Pearl were the mains (extreme sexual tension relationships are my favourite ones *w*).
As I said the fic will be pearlmethyst with some Ruby/Sapphire and maybe Stevonnie, I don't know. I just hope you spend a great time reading the fic as I had writing it.
Reviews are always welcome ;)
Chapter one: Mission
The entrance of the sub aquatic temple greeted the eyes of the crystal gems. Garnet, Pearl and Steven, inside of one of the human gem's shield, looked at the greatness of the ancient building. All blue as the element that surrounded it, (Steven was the only one that thought that the sea was blue through) the temple was a complex architectonic artwork plenty of what Pearl found as an unpractical decorations and gothic characteristics that made it look as a big blue church, or it would have been if it wasn't for the history behind it.
-Wow this place is awesome! – Steven exclaimed looking everywhere in his usual childish attitude – Oh is that a clownfish? – He stared at the fish that was in front of the bubble. The tiny animal looked at him and swam scared at the face of the gem. Garnet smiled, having always find Steven's attitude heart-warming.
-Come on big boy, we have to get this done. – She grabbed Steven by the hem of his red shirt and started walking inside the temple followed closely by Pearl.
-You know Steven. – The pale gem started. While the boy popped the bubble since the inside of the building was surprisingly... dry – During the war between the Homeworld gems and us Lapis lazuli built this place as a headquarter for Blue Diamond to direct her army without being harmed. She had always been a little of a show off. – Pearl giggled. Steven was completely entranced by her story, eyes starry and mouth agape. It wasn't too often that Pearl or Garnet decided to tell him stories or memories about the war they took part in, so every time it happened he treasured it. – We came here to pick the central gem of control it had part of Lapis powers so Blue Diamond used it to control the sea and keep all the invaders away. We tried to destroy it or at least bring it to the temple but it was useless.
- However now the oceanic currents have been a bit unstable so we think it may be related to the blue gem. – Garnet added following the path both of them remember so well.
Pearl was caught by her memories of this place; she could even hear the clash of weapons and the smell of fire and gem powder. – You know, here we fought the final battle to save humanity from total destruction and slavery. You can't even imagine how cruel and dark the Earth's future would have been if we haven fight here. – Steven swallowed hard, scared of his own imaginary image of a world controlled by bad gems.
Garnet cleared her throat signalling Pearl that she had told too much to the poor boy that was fidgeting. – Buuuut we won! And everyone is safe! – She tried to sound as happy as she was able to. It didn't work much well, feelings and expressions have never been Pearls thing. Less making children smile, so she ended making a strange face that tried to look as a smile which made Steven laugh uncontrollably and return to his usual self.
Slowly they made their way to the main chamber. The room was decorated with crystal windows that showed a view of the ocean which light made the room shine in an eerie white and blue. It definitely was Lapis work. What stood out most of all was the large crystal fountain in the middle of the room. It had geometrical patterns that surprisingly hadn't erode during almost 3 thousand years. The fountain pulsed blue light that came from the middle of it where the spherical gem, dark blue as the depths of the sea, that they needed was located.
The three of them stayed admiring the place in such awe that they didn't saw the large object that was approaching till it was in front of the window blocking the light and destroying the atmosphere that had the Crystal gems almost hypnotized. It disappeared as fast as it came only to return and start moving in circles next to the window.
-Emm Garnet? – Steven asked to the gem that was going to pick the blue mineral from its pedestal – What's that? – He signalled the enormous figure that was swimming in there. A whale? No too small. A dolphin maybe? It wasn't as cute.
Pearl, that was mesmerizing everything that happened in these walls thousands of years ago, turned to look at the beast Steven was babbling about just to gasp and turn around.
-GARNET! LEAVE THAT WE HAVE TO GO! – Said gem jumped backwards just in time to dodge a giant white shark that crashed one of the windows followed by an enormous quantity of water that soon would fill the building
- We have to get the gem. – Garnet said summoning her gloves.
- Take Steven back to the temple, I will get it. – Pearl knew Garnet was the fastest of both of them so she could save Steven. Between him and their objective he was far more important.
Water was everywhere at knee level... well knee level for Pearl, Steven was floating over the room moved by the currents of the non stopping waterfall that was the window. Garnet was trying to grab him as fast as she could.
Pearl however, wasn't looking at them.
A wild long mane of white hair substituted the shark's skin and floated from the figure of a tiny purple chubby girl. Said girl, not much taller than Steven, fell into the top of the fountain and crouched herself in a frog pose looking at Pearl's turquoise eyes with her dark ones. A toothy grin in her face.
-Hey cone nose, what's up?
Garnet, finally with a screaming Steven in her arms saw the stranger and launched herself at her, globed punch aimed at her face. She has always been a warrior of first punch and then ask. The girl didn't even need to look at her; she just jumped dodging the attack. The two attackers fell into the water.
At seeing Steven and her comrade fall, Pearl summoned her spear aiming at the girl's head. The action picked the stranger interest. She tilted her head and stared at the weapon.
-Woo nice tooth stick! Are you gonna prick me to death with it? – She started laughing without bothering to cover herself or stay alert. The blue embarrassed and angry flush was more than visible in Pearls face Who does she think she is to speak to me like that? Uuugh! What a disrespectful and vulgar individual she thought and, without even bothering to answer the girl's taunts, started shooting energy bolts at her.
The first shot was unexpected and dodged by a hair length; the rest didn't even got close to her as she jumped all over the room with an unexpected agility for her appearance. Pearl lost her where did she go?. At one point through, the spear was grabbed by a dark purple rope with violet gems and threw away from Pearl's hands with a splashing sound. She followed the whip rope's direction with her head and saw dumbfounded how another whip was materialised from the stranger's chest. Forcing her sight she noticed part of a purple gem half covered by a baggy shirt. A gem?!
The water now was at Pearl's stomach level, no sight of neither Garnet nor Steven. She hoped Garnet had gone home with him. A sharp strike in her face reminded her from the enemy now hanging in a wall thanks to one of her whips, the other ready to attack again.
- Hey don't you know is rude to ignore people? – That stupid grin again. Oh, how much did Pearl want to erase it from her face.
-Why are you in here? Are they sending you from Homeland? - Pearl needed to know what the treat was to protect Steven and the planet that Rose loved. It was all that mattered for her.
-Homewhat? – She looked kind of confused - I only came here to pick something for mamma. – Mamma? But gems don't have parents.
Before Pearl had time to ask what she was referring to the purple gem raised her whip to attack. Pearl put her hands in front of her face protecting her gem from a strike that didn't came, she uncovered herself and saw the girl with the blue gem in her hands.
-You're fun to play with cone nose. But I've gotta go home. – She winked leaving a blue flush in the pale's gem before jumping for another window again as a shark .
Pearl stared at the broken crystal fornitude as the large animal-gem swam away not knowing what to think about the current situation. Her usual objective mind seemed to be shutdown, but that didn't last long as her only thought was that she had been beaten, both physically and intellectually, by a little jerky individual that had also taken the object they needed.
She shook her head and dived into the water to get into the wrap pad.
The kindergarten was a dark, creepy place. Not a sound could be heard from miles, even birds weren't as brave as to disturb the silent command. There was only one being that dared to destroy the obscure mood of the place. It was Amethyst.
She ran as a wolf with a blue sphere on her mouth. Running was something the purple gem loved, and here in the huge canyon that was her birthplace she could do it as much as she wanted. Now however, there was something far more important she had to do.
Stopping in front of one of the many holes that composed the walls of the place, but compared to the others it was at ground level, she let go the gem and howled. The sound reverberated loudly making Amethyst proud of herself. The ground trembled soon revealing a quadrangular piece of rock that rose from it. She straightened herself to show respect to the dark-grey figure that was approaching, but the movement of her tail didn't help to hide her excitement.
-I hope you brought what I requested, dear. – The composed and unemotional but soothed voice followed by the clawed hand that petted the white fur of Amethyst's head made the purple gem feel pure happiness, like a child being praised by an adult. She picked the object from the ground and looked at it, trying to prove its authenticity. – Well done.
Amethyst, tongue out and tail colliding hard to the ground continuously, started running in circles next to the big one caressing one of her legs with her muzzle. – You know mum? – She said matter of factly. – I saw other gems in the mission. I thought we were the only ones here but whatever. – She shrugged her shoulders. Well, as much as a wolf can failing to notice the change in her mother's face.
Gems? In this forbidden wasteland of planet? They may be Diamond's forces. But if they were the Kingdergarten would be their first stop. Then who? Everyone was killed by those traitors... Wait!
-Amethyst. – The large gem said in a cold business like tone. The wolf stopped moving and looked at inexpressive grey eyes. – I have another job for you. – She recognized the seriousness of the statement and turned into her original form straight as a wall. – I want you to spy that gems and screw all her plans, missions or whatever they do. – Amethyst nodded frenetically, just ready to serve her. Seeing there weren't more orders given she turned into a wolf and ran away howling with pure emotion.
- Be ready Rose Quartz, this time luck won't be on your side.
