Hello there,
I wanted to say before you start that ever since I watched the piolet episode of Steven Universe I was HOOKED on it. From the colorful characters to the amazing and distinct art design, I love it all. So one day I wonder, why not marry two of my favorite shows together! I started right away on the outline for this story and I have to say, it's one of my favorite passion projects I've thought of. But, unfortunately, I kept it to the side because I had a lot of other things to do. I had Challenges to jump on, I had my other stories to update, and I especially had family problems that needed my utmost focus. But, seeing as I do have a few weeks or so before I am tied back up with jobs and other adult things I've decided to put this story out there and see what response it gets.
So, without further a due, I give you, Obsidian Dreams!
Prologue: A Kindergarten Reunion!
I own Nothing
Kindergarten, such an odd name for a vast canyon. Unseen by the humans that inhabit this world, this huge chasm held numerous holes are carved from the rock faces; each one once holding a single being of massive destructive power. Huge columns embedded with red gemstones protrude from the walls, and massive machines dot the landscape. It was a foreboding mess of old gem junk and high, foreboding rock formations. To most, this place would seem uninhabitable, a terrible location for any who dare try to settle here. But someone disagreed, they concocted thousands of creatures in the vast holes that are carved into the faces of these canyon walls.
Once there were thousands, now, only one. A single being that hung his cap in such an unsuitable home. This one was resting in the high holes close to the top of this so called Kindergarten, his feet dangling out from the edge of his little hole. The hole was dark; so dark, in fact, that the only indication that anything was alive in there were the legs dangling forlornly out of the mouth of this cave, lightly swaying back and forth.
The creatures feet may seem lively but deep in the hole's core the body that was attached to those legs was still, almost catatonic; it's slowly rising chest was the only indication of it's physical condition. The being seemed covered in a thin layer of dust and mineral, growing each passing day as he continues to rest, his body weak and unresponsive.
The hole in which he lies in was small, fitted for something quite smaller than him. The only piece that seemed to fit was his torso and arms, any more of himself shoved in the hole would have his head caving through the back wall. Speaking of his head, adorned on top of this thick skull was a mop of dusty blonde hair; both dusty thanks to equal parts genetics and equal parts dirt. His hair was hidden thanks to a hood lazily pulled over his head, covering his eyes from the rising sun that usually accompanies mornings. His attire was of a raggedy pale cloak which was riddled with cuts and rips, almost as if it's seen the thrill of battle.
As the fog settled into the chasm, blocking all light from the outside world, the ball of what seemed like flesh let out a content sigh, the sun has finally been covered, leaving him to his lounging ways.
So, you could bet that it came as a surprising annoyance once the creature heard a commotion rise from the depths of this canyon. At first it was simple laughter and chirps of conversation going back and forth between two parties, but it soon took on a louder tone. People began to scream, they're words yelled at the top of their lungs as clashes of leather and pearl slapping against one another echoed through the chasm. At the apex of this, a loud impact was heard and felt from all angles of this crack in the earth. Dust fell from the dormant creatures ceiling, sprinkling him with a fresh coat of minerals while also shaking him from his slumbering haze.
"I didn't ask for this," A voice called out in the chasm, this deep-rooted crack through the earth. This voice came from a distant form, one in which this creature was unwilling to move and find it. The words were filled with woe and pain, such a sorrow-filled tone carried itself through the chasm. "I didn't ask to be made!" Another harsh sentence cut through the moment of silence like a knife; the hard, blunt words brought this person's rage and self-loathing to the forefront, throwing subtlety out the window and going for more of a shock and awe focus. It was raw, uncut pain that could cut someone to the very bone.
The voice soon reached the ears of this unknown entity, his feet slowing from a swing to a stationary position. His eyes opened, revealing piercing blues against a white canvas. Once his eyes opened, his body shifted around, knocking dirt from his already filthy cloak; he seemed as stiff as a board, almost as if his bones were finally moving after what seemed like years. As the second wave of words rushed over the man's mind he couldn't help but find the voice oddly familiar. It wasn't a subtle recollection at first, it was hazy, almost nonexistent, a bleeding memory that began to fade into the background. 5,995 years would do that to someone's memory. But mulling the words around in his head, listening carefully to the voice that spoke it so clearly, the image he drew was that of an old friend, an old playground buddy from way back when.
"Amethyst," he whispered, his eyes widening at the realization.
He jumped from his perch, descending the chasm without a care in the world, his feet directed towards the ground and his arms out to the side. The only emotion that was on his features was that of determination. He landed quite softly, kicking up only a moderate amount of dirt on his landing, before taking off towards the sound of arguing and bickering. His home seemed off, something about the terrain and the decor of busted machines and useless junk seemed to be….off tilter. As he surveyed his land, jumping over a few toppled red crystal giants, he came across a young boy. He was nothing special, a small little sprout with a thick build. From what he could tell from the back from the boy's head he had curly, dark brown hair. He wears a reddish-pink T-shirt with a yellow star on it. He also wears blue jeans and reddish-pink sandals.
This was a odd place for a human child, he seemed to think, inching closer and closer to the boy, hearing the frantic chatter of two bickering people arguing back and forth. He laid in wait until there was a lull in this conversation, standing silently behind this unknown child who was oblivious to the new arrival.
What else could go wrong today, Pearl seemed to think as she squatted in a small hole carved into the cave's face, staring sadly at her crying comrade in arms. Stress was one thing Pearl hated more than anything, and today was nothing but one big stress wave after another. First she was told by Garnet that Steven and Amethyst snuck away to god knows where, but thanks to Garnet's future sight, she was given a few possibilities. One of which involved Amethyst taking Steven on a train ride back too this…..place! It was a hideous, grotesque reminder of what her kind could and would do if push came to shove. This Kindergarten was one of many breeding grounds that evil, tainted gems grew other gems during the war, pumping out their own little army like they were nothing but cattle; sheep for the slaughter. Amethyst was one of those sheep, a byproduct of that giant mistake, but that didn't mean she was bad.
Pearl saw the good within her; she was funny, clever at times, and even though she got on her nerves a lot, she truly loves her; Pearl believed that she was the only good thing that came from this place. She thought Amethyst knew that, but apparently she didn't.
Amethyst attacked her, bring years of pent up aggression and pain to the surface as they traded blows. The fight lasted a few minutes but the words spoken would last years. Amethyst believed that Pearl thought she was just a mistake, an embarrassment to her and Garnet; their battle moments ago attested to that feeling. Everyday she felt reminded of everything she hated about herself, that she was nothing but a thrown together gem, a factory made piece of hardware to fit a select purpose and then tossed to the waste side. The only two people to ever make her feel otherwise was Rose Quartz, a wonderful and kind woman who never gave up on Amethyst even in the darkest of time….and him, Obsidia-.
"Amethyst, please, I don't want you two to fight anymore!" A boy at the entrance of the hole said, tears seeming to build up in the corner of his eyes. Oh right, and Steven too. He' s always let her be free and act on her impulses, unlike Pearl. Always stifling her, trying to make her fall into line like the good little mistake she is!
"Leave me alone Steven," Amethyst whimpered, twisting around until she faced the wall of her past home, "you too, Pearl. I just want to be alone right now."
Pearl couldn't say anything else, she was too hurt to speak. She tried everything, apologizing, expressing her true thoughts and feelings about Amethyst, what else could she do? I guess, she thought, the best thing to do is hope she will come around eventually. Pearl knew she couldn't force this issue, not unless she wanted Amethyst to drift further and further away.
So, with a heavy sigh, Pearl went to leave. I say "went" because once she turned to see Steven standing at the entrance, she was shocked and terrified to notice a tall stranger standing mere feet behind the plump young man.
"Steven! Behind you," she shrilled, alerting both Amethyst and Steven to the newly arrived threat. Amethyst tried to get a look at the figure but thanks to Pearls battle ready stance, it was hard to make out just who this person was. Pearl quickly jumped from the hole, her pearl spear poised for the attack as Steven sneaks behind her, fearful but also curious as to who this newcomer was. The tip of her staff was now inches from the person's throat, "who are you and what are you doing here?" The being raised his arms to the gem user, surrendering to her poised weapon and her dangerous glare. As the man's arms rose his eyes began to wonder. He looked to the hole Pearl was inches from and found a shuffling puff of hair crawling it's way out of it.
The puff soon grew into a person, a gem to be more precise, if the gem half revealed under her shirt was of any indication. This gem had long, very pale, light-purple hair which covered her left eye. She had plump, lively lips with pale and bright plum-colored skin, and a heavier, more curvaceous build than her friend who still kept her spear at the ready. His eyes widened at the sight of the plum colored gem, "Amethyst!" He decried, ducking under Pearl's spear with speed that even she couldn't follow, leaving both Steven and Pearl shocked.
In an instant, the cloaked mystery was kneeling before Amethyst, his arms slung around the short gem's neck and enveloping her in a spine shattering hug, one in which Amethyst was severely embarrassed from.
"H-Hey! Get off me, you creep!" She yelled, shape shifting her form into a slimy serpent as she slithered from his grasp. She quickly changed back to her usual form and drew her weapon, ready to whip this prick into submission if he tries to cuddle with her again. "Who the heck are you and how do you know my name?!"
"A-Amethyst, it's me! I know it's been a while but-" his words died in this throat, "Oh, right!" he decried in a stroke of clarification, "this silly things still on isn't it," he points to his hood which casted a shroud of shadows and darkness across his face, making it look like his face was almost non-existent. He quickly corrected his mistake by flipping said piece of attached cloth from his head, revealing a angular, pale face to the crystal gems. Pearl was confused at his action, was his face something she should remember? Was this someone she's met before? It must be, if Amethyst knows someone she would have told the group, of course she would! Right?
While Pearl and Steven's reaction was that of confusion, Amethyst was filled with joy and tears. Her realization and reaction came in waves, at first the face meant nothing, a slightly handsome face topped with pale blonde, messy hair; what of it? Then, squinting slightly towards the blonde specter, the pieces began to fall together. Her memories started to come back to her in a rapid rate, each moment of her youth flashing by her, each image held both her and a single man next to her.
"O-Obsidian!" she cried, jumping into the arms of the now named Obsidian, hugging him with all her might; something in which he quickly respericated. Tears flowed from both parties, each greatful for this moment together as both sat in a comfortable silence, basking in the feeling of being reunited for the first time in over 5,000 years.
"W-What's going on here, Amethyst?" Pearl asked but by the way it was delivered, it seemed more like demanded. Pearl seemed to let her impatience got the best of her, unwilling to allow both gems to have their moment. Amethyst ignored Pearl's question and opted to keep her face nuzzled in Obsidian's cloak, allowing her tears to soak it.
"You're back, I can't believe you're back!" Amethyst whimpered as she tightened her grip around his throat, shaking in his strong embrace. "A-Are you really back? For good this time?"
"Believe it," Obsidian cheered, breaking their embrace for only a moment to gaze into her tearful orbs, seeing the fragile state she was in at this moment in time. "I'm not going anywhere. Not as long as I know you're by my side."
"Amethyst, who is he? Do you know him," This time it was Steven who decided to add his two cents into this one sided conversation. Soon enough the two broke away from their embrace, both flashing each other their biggest and brightest smile as they wiped their faces clean of tear stains.
"Steven, Pearl, you won't believe who this is!" Amethyst cheered, rushing to her friends side and pushed them closer to this pale stranger, getting a nervous gettering noise from Pearl and a excited giggle from Steven. "This is Obsidian! Me and him go way back! We were Kindergarten buddies!" Her smile couldn't be any bigger even if she tired as she introduced her team to her long lost friend. After forcing her team closer to him she rushed back to his side, grasping his hand in hers as he slowly rises to his feet, smiling at the beaming gem with the same gusto she presented.
"Hello, I am Obsidian, but I prefer to be called Naruto when I'm around friendly faces." The now nicknamed Naruto produced a hand for both to shake, but still keeping a firm, loving grip on Amethyst's small hand, unwilling to let her slip through his grip again. Steven quickly and eagerly took his hand, clasping his big, calloused palms with both of his much smoother hands, shaking it with all the strength he could muster; I suppose he wanted to make a good impression on the new gem.
"Wow! Cool, you knew Amethyst way back then?" Steven asked, his eyes full of stars and wonder.
Naruto chuckled at the boy's enthusiasm, "that's right, you could say I was the first to get a look at the Amethyst experience!" Naruto couldn't smile any harder at this point as he saw the cheerful Amethyst blush at his statement, recalling all the foolish things she did way back when. And if you think the hijinx she gets into now is bad, it was even worse when she was fresh out of the hole.
Once Pearl was presented with his hand, she was less enthusiastic to touch it. "Yes, well, Naruto was it?" She questioned nervously, getting a simple nod from this stranger, "it's nice to meet an old friend of Amethyst but, uhhh, I don't, umm, how do I put this….why exactly are you here?"
"PEARL!" Amethyst hissed, glaring daggers at her pointy nosed friend, surprised at her harsh bluntness, "does it matter? he's my best friend and he's back. That's all that really matters to me and that's all that should matter to you too!" Many would call Amethyst foolish for wholeheartedly backing this stranger she believes to be her friend more than her actual friend Pearl, but those who would say such things truly don't know the inner workings of Amethyst. This was a face she's wished to see for so long and this was a warm embrace she's tried to duplicate for over 5,000 years, this wasn't something she was willing to give up without a fight and Pearl at this moment was trying to take away the one thing she's wished for, for years. So, you would imagine her reaction to be less than inviting.
"Do you not find it strange that your "friend" from Kindergarten just so happens to show up today of all days, just after we gathered up a lot of those other worldly tech balls? It just seems to coincidental if you ask me," Pearl observes, her eyes narrowing as she looks the blonde up and down rather skeptically. Pearl was rather confused about Amethyst brash denial of this odd situation. Sure she knew Amethyst was a instant kind of girl, willing to base everything on her own compass, but she would never put the group or Steven for that matter in danger. Something was up, this man or the memories she's made with this man must have meant a lot to her.
"Funny, I don't think I asked you at all," Amethyst murmured.
But, unfortunately, Pearl was a skeptic and couldn't just allow this man to go just on good faith and Amethyst's naive word, she had no idea how this gem got here, what he wanted, or what he could do. Just like that other gem they found skulking around those deserted warp pads, she didn't want to take a chance. "It is our job to protect this world from danger and I can't help but feel like this male gem is nothing but that. So, I'll ask once more, why exactly are you here, Obsidian?"
"Pearl, please believe me when I say I mean you nor this planet any harm," Naruto implored, his face a mix of worry and nervous anticipation. He just met this woman and she was already giving him the third degree. He was finally reunited with the single being that ever gave him a purpose in life and he couldn't rejoice that fact because of such a harsh welcome from Amethyst's new friend. But, he didn't want to make a scene or embarrasses his little friend so, he played along. It's best to be helpful and cooperative in times like these. "If I did, I would have done it years ago."
"What do you mean by that?" She asked, a short and a rather matter of fact tone.
"I've been on this planet for 5 years now, not once have I caused any of it's inhabitants any harm," he calmly stated, patently taking Pearl's questions in stride. There was something very calming about this gem, an aura of….serenity, nothing from his height to his expression gave off a defensive or aggressive personality. He almost seemed like he wouldn't harm a fly, but anyone could fake it. "Well, except if you count those poor creatures I startled on my re-entry."
"Re-entry? Startled?" She repeated once more, trying to find something to back up her rather unbacked theory. Something about this gem just didn't feel right about to Pearl, each minute spent with this male gem made her even more skeptical of his intentions. Maybe he was a defective Kindergarten Gem who was just woken from his slumber, maybe he was a more sophisticated clone designed to wear a gem's face, who knows; this was far too stressful to think about. She didn't care if she sounded baty or negative, she wasn't willing to put this world or Amethyst at risk just because Amethyst is blinded by this….thing!
"Of course, how else would I have arrived back on earth?" Naruto humored, cracking a simple smile at the skeptical Pearl, trying to lighten her mood just a tad. She seemed so distant, so nervous, he never wanted to cause someone so much stress and unease, especially a friend of Amethyst's. "Poor humans, they scattered so quickly I couldn't apologize. It's like they haven't seen a gem spaceship before."
Naruto's rather odd sense of humor was soon silenced when he felt a sharp tip poke against his pale nose, Pearl's spear now tapping his face with the intent to kill if necessary. "Amethyst, step away from him! We can't trust him!" She was quick with her strike, a quick thrust to his nose would have pierced any normal skull; to bad she was dealing with an unknown entity, a wildcard if you will. He slipped her spears range with a brisk dodge, separating both him and Amethyst's hands from one another.
"Pearl, what are you doing?" Steven questioned, staring between the three waring gems. Pearl held a firm yet nervous stare at the new gem, while Amethyst glare deepened towards her sister in arms who just separated her from her friend. Naruto was the only one who seemed to hold nothing but a nervous, perplexed expression as he shows no indication he was going to fight Pearl back.
"Steven, stay behind me. We don't know what he's capable of," Pearl orders, gripping her spear with both hands as she readies herself to lunge once more at the strange gem.
"Stop it, Pearl! He hasn't done anything to us," Amethyst proclaimed bitterly, preparing her own weapon to defend her long lost friend. As Pearl jumps to prod her pointed weapon at the new arrival, she was stopped in her tracks by the leather bound, jewel encrusted whip of her friend, keeping her locked in place; mere inches from piercing the man's chest. "And I won't let you hurt him!"
"Let me go, you heard what he said," Pearl's eyes dilated, fear-filled. Underneath her skeptical attitude towards Naruto was a fearful gem hoping to protect what little she had left. She's never been one to keep her composure when it came to such hectic things like this, but showing utter fear in the face of a supposed enemy was even surprising for Amethyst. "He confessed to arriving here on a gem starship, the only place you could find something like that is from the Gem Homeworld! Don't you see? He came from the Gem Homeworld, he's just like those things we keep finding rummaging around the old Gem ruins, we can't trust him!"
"Please, calm down Pearl, I mean you no harm." Naruto said, trying to douse Pearl's rage that seemed directed solely at him. "I did come from the Gem Homeworld, but I can explain everything if you would just let-"
"Aha! See, he admits it! We can't let him near Steven or anyone else, Amethyst. He could be a danger to us all!" Pearl said, producing another spear from her creamy white gem atop her forehead as she allowed the other one, which was bounded by Amethyst, to disappear.
"I came here to find peace from those on the Gem Homeworld. I am nothing like them, I swear!" He explains, dodge another rain of spear strikes, seeming more fatigued as they continued onward. He soon stumbles on a piece of debris, leaving him on his backside, his eyes now at half mast and his breath ragged and scarce. "Please….I know you have no reason to trust me but please, let me speak. Afterwards, I will let you decide what to do with me. I won't put up a fight."
"...You have a minute," Pearl sighed but was unwilling to untrain her spear from Naruto's chest, if the minute was up and she wasn't satisfied with his answer this would spell the end of Obsidian, she will make sure of it. "Take him out now, he's vulnerable" Pearl thought, her spear head pressing against his vulnerable chest, at the ready to take his life. She contemplated ending him here, giving him no time to explain himself but she knew she couldn't get away with it. Amethyst would be furious, maybe even willing to hurt her if it meant protecting this stranger. "Why does this man mean so much to her?"
"Thank you," he said, bowing his head in thanks and gratitude, "now, yes I did come from the Gem Homeworld, but you have to believe me I didn't go willingly, I assure you. During the first few years of my creation in Kindergarten Amethyst and I became close friends, we here inseparable. But, after those few years, a gem named Peridot came back to earth to check on the new hatchlings, but it seemed that me and Amethyst were the only ones to fully develop at the time."
"You now have 30 seconds left. Better make it fast, Obsidian." Pearl threatened, tapping the man's chest with the tip of her weapon, incurring him to probably speed up his explanation if he didn't want her spear to penetrate his chest cavity.
"I-I was taken by Peridot, she found potential in me. After that, I lived on the Gem Planet for over 5,995 years!" He stated skittishly, backing slowly off while the spear seemed to inch ever closer to puncturing his gem body. " But I soon realized they were destroying other gems for stepping out of turn and they were using the people of conquered planets as...as... Damn it!" He spurted out, his head twitching at his curse. Almost as if it was something like a glitch. "I-I'm sorry, that's all I can remember…..everything else except my arrival here is a blur. My memory…..i-it's fuzzy."
"Gem's have infallible recall, we cannot forget," Pearl stated firmly, her eyes narrowing harshly at the man's sprawled out form, her spear poking the boy's chest harshly. "You're lying, and your times up."
"I-I swear, that's all I know! AGH!" Naruto tried to plead but his words soon died in his throat to allow pain filled scream through, his body tightening within seconds. But it wasn't the spear that brought the pain, no, that was preparing itself to pierce through his chest, this was a different pain, a one that came from his back.
"Obsidian, what's wrong?!" Amethyst questioned, quickly rushing to his side to try and help him in any way she could. Her response was another dry scream escaping the poor man's lips as his body, shockingly, started to fade in and out of reality. His eyes dulled and his hair blackened, it was nothing either gem has seen before. Amethyst seemed distraught, frantically searching over his body to find something, anything that might be the cause of this. "Come on big guy, tell me what's wrong. A wink, a nod, give me something!"
Steven quickly came to her aid, throwing caution and Pearl's warnings to the wind. Someone that meant this much to Amethyst couldn't be bad, and he couldn't stand seeing another living thing in pain.
He walked past Pearl and noticed something very odd. The man's gem, it was flashing. On his upper back their was a lump, showing Steven exactly where the gem was located, and a dark, pulsating light seemed to be coming from it.
"Amethyst, look, his gem!" Steven shouted, catching the frantic Amethyst's attention, directly pointing towards Obsidian's upper back. She quickly flipped him over and ripped a hole clean through the man's cloak, Pearl almost fainting at the scandal of it all. Part of Amethyst wished she didn't open his cloak, it would have saved her the image of what happens when a gem is demolished. She almost passed out, both caused by utter rage and sickness.
Naruto's gem was broken, battered, and bruised. It was hanging on by a thread, literally. It was at the point that one more hit or tap even would shatter it, killing Obsidian without a second thought.
Quickly, Amethyst grabbed Steven by the wrist and pulled him close, allowing the boy to look over the man's busted gem. "Steven, you have healing spit, right? You healed Lapis's gem, right?"
"Y-Yeah," Steven said nervously, looking from the anxious Amethyst and the writhing Obsidian, wondering which one is putting him on edge the most.
"Well, just spit on his gem. He must be in pain! Just a good lick will get him back to his good ol' self, right? " Amethyst logic was tight, spit on the wound and it would quickly heal like it did for Lapis, simple as that. If only things were ever that easy.
As Steven began to collect his saliva he was pulled back, hidden behind Pearl's legs as she glared down at the writhing gem. "Steven, stay out of this. Don't you even think about-"
"Pearl, stopping it?! Do you want him to die?" Amethyst yelled. A few stray tears began to break the surface.
"I don't know what HE will do. He's a mystery, we don't know what will happen the second he get's his gem healed." Pearl sighed, raising her voice to be heard over the man's pained screams. "He might be lying, hoping we'll feel sympathy for him. And then when he's healed, he'll turn on us. How can you sit there and think I would just trust him implicitly?"
"He never knew we had someone who could heal gems. There's no reason he would RISK coming out in the open, wounded and hurt, if he was as bad as you say he is!" Amethyst stated, stomping harshly in her friends direction. But soon, her expression changed from one of rage and hatred to sadness and fear. She truly feared for her friend's safety, she's never seen such a demolished gem, even her's was just a simple crack, nothing as devastating as Naruto's. It was unbelievable and she couldn't just sit by and allow him to parish. "Please, Pearl. I can't lose him again. Let Steven heal him, and he'll show you that he's on our side."
"Pearl, we can't just leave him here like this or destroy him!" Steven said, the boy's big heart was Pearl's very undoing. Neither Pearl, Garnet, or Amethyst could resist the boy's puppy dog eyes and oddly insightful gibberish. Steven ran past Pearl's defenses and stood before her, his arms stretched out wide to protect this...stranger. "He's hurt, he have to help him!"
"Steven, we don't even know who he is or what he is-" Pearl tried to explain this to the boy but he wouldn't hear it.
"Amethyst does, she knows him!" Steven said passionately, looking to Amethyst who seemed distraught, her eyes glued to the still, unstable form of the gem before her. "He's her friend. We can't just let him die!"
"*sigh* I know I'm going to regret this...Let's get him to the Warp Pad." And just like that, Pearl deactivated her gem weapon with a sigh. She couldn't bring herself to end him, at least right now. Part of her feels like this is a bad idea, he's shown them nothing to prove that he wasn't a threat, but on the flip side, he's also done nothing to prove he was a threat…...yet. She couldn't put her finger on it, but something felt off about him, there was something he wasn't telling them.
"Why?" Steven questioned. Peering past Pearl's leg to watch Amethyst quickly transform into her burley wrestler type and gently pick the now unconscious gem up, whispering words of encouragements to his unconscious body. It was strangely touching how careful she carried the gem. This was the first time in a long time either Pearl or Steven has seen her act so...focused.
The two quickly picked up their pace, a few feet behind Amethyst gentle run towards the pad. "You will heal him back at the base. Garnet's there, so if he tries anything we'll have more firepower. Besides, she's the most level headed of us all, maybe she can make heads or tails of this. Because right now, I don't know what to think."
