A Green Reunion of Friends
Prologue
Green the Hedgehog has had a long life, most people don't know it but he's really Nazo (Mystery/Mysterious) the Hedgehog. The son of the mighty god called Chaos, Nazo's purpose is to travel across reality and ensure that there is balance. He is neither good nor evil, he's chaotic yet organized, a contradiction of an enigma in every right that's unpredictable. Though this is the behavior and nature of Nazo himself, Nazo can never truly die but in the event that his physical body is destroyed he must regenerate. Each time he regenerates his new body develops a personality of its own. And the new body becomes progressively weaker than the last, Nazo in his original body could always be his Nazo persona. The second body could maintain the Nazo persona for a million years before needing to spend a day to rest. The Third body needed a week of rest, the fourth body could only maintain being the Nazo persona for a thousand years with only a week of rest needed after that time was over. The fifth body could maintain it for only a hundred years before needing two weeks to recover, and the sixth body could only maintain the Nazo persona for a year before needing a month to recover. And now the seventh body aka the present body can only maintain the Nazo persona for a week before needing a month to recover, and the only way Nazo could have his true power is if he uses the seven Chaos Emeralds. In many ways Nazo is the Super Form of Green the Hedgehog, and Green has been among the kindest and noblest of Nazo's physical personalities.
Green has off and on experienced memory flashbacks of his past lives, he started having flashbacks ever since he turned into Nazo the Hedgehog in order to defeat the E-99 robot that Dr. Oliver Eggman created in an attempt to use the Chaos Emeralds to rule the world. Thanks to the Chaos Emeralds, and technology, Green has been able to visit other dimensions in the infinite vastness of the Whole of Creation.
One of these dimensions has an alternate version of the planet earth, on this version of earth alien beings called Gems attempted to colonize the planet. But a great divide between the Gems of earth and the Gem Home World happened. Green hadn't been to that dimension in a long time, at least nine months on the time line of that dimension.
Green used the Chaos Emeralds to check on the dimension he called the Crystal Gem Zone (Zone is another way of saying dimension or location in the Mobius Prime Zone where Green comes from) and he was glad to arrive at a beach. He was greeted by a group of women who were members of the Gem race, alongside them was a Gem/Human hybrid named Steven Universe. "Green!" Steven said as he ran to Green.
Green grinned, "Nice to see you guys again. I hope not too much has happened since I last paid you all a visit." Green said to the Crystal Gems.
Garnet the current leader of the Crystal Gems looked at Green with her neutral expression. "A lot has happened."
Steven then said, "Lapis and Peridot are living at the barn now."
"Peridot moved out of the bathroom and you saved Lapis?" Green asked.
"Yeah…" Pearl said to the Mobian.
Amethyst gave Green a noogie. "You should've seen the stupid Ruby group we beat in a ball game."
"Ruby group?" Green said while trying to grin as he got a noogie.
Pearl then thought aloud for a moment. "Giving everything that's happened lately. We've been expecting Home World ships to practically drop from the sky." And then all of a sudden, a green colored Gem Home World ship that was damaged came hurtling towards the beach.
Then without warning the ship crashed, there was smoke from the crater. Everyone looked at the ship, then a latch opened up and a Gem exited while coughing, her hair was a light shade of green and covered her eyes. She then looked around and focused on Green, she then touched her forehead and pulled out a rapier. "Unhand him you savages!" She shouted as she charged at blinding speeds, she used the hilt of her rapier to hit Amethyst and get her off of Green.
"Ow! That hurt!" Amethyst said as she rubbed her head.
The Crystal Gems jumped back from the green Gem as she pointed her rapier at the group. Green blinked a few times, he recognized the pose and form of the Gem. "Leave my Emerald alone!" The Gem said as she was in a defensive stance.
Green then suddenly hugged the Gem from behind, taken aback by this she dropped her rapier. "Green Pearl! Oh how I've missed you!"
The Green Pearl smiled, "you remember me." She said with a grin.
"What's going on?" Pearl asked Green the Hedgehog.
"Crystal Gems, and Steven. Meet my pearl, her name is Green Pearl." Green's Pearl suddenly stiffened.
"Emerald… Your name has changed… And you know these rebels?" Green Pearl seemed very surprised.
Several minutes later Green explained to his Pearl everything she needed to know, which included the fact he's friends with the Crystal Gems and that Steven is the son of Rose Quarts. Though Pearl of the Crystal Gems was curious how a Mobian ended up with a Pearl as his partner, and how they met. "That my friends is a story from another lifetime. But I'd be glad to explain it." He said once everyone was inside the beach house. Green went to the nearby sofa and sat down.
Green Pearl was currently in the beach house with everyone else, she sat on the sofa next to Green. "I'll help explain myself. I'm sure it'll clear up any confusion."
"Yay story time!" Steven said with excitement.
"Wait! Why was your ship damaged? And why are you on earth?!" Pearl of the Crystal Gems asked Green Pearl.
Story 1
The Emerald and the Pearl
In the dark vastness of space, a starship shaped like a giant saucer was on a routine scouting mission in the territory of Yellow Diamond the leader of the military forces on the Gem Home World. So far everything was going simple for the crew of the scouting vessel. Then the crew detected a green stone of some kind floating through space. "My Captain, we've located some kind of object." A Green Pearl said as she focused hard on the monitor she was stationed at.
The ship captain was a Quartz soldier. She was strong and a lifelong loyal soldier of Yellow Diamond, the scouting ship soon recovered the object under orders from the Quartz captain. The Gems on the ship were surprised to see that the object was some kind of Emerald with a shape that reminded them of a Diamond.
Weeks passed by while the ship was heading for Home World in order to deliver the strange Emerald, but then all of a sudden a green colored organic lifeform appeared, it seemed to come out of nowhere in a flash of light. "Finally, I've found the Chaos Emerald." The being said as he looked at the containment chamber the Emerald was in. He stood up straight and had a look on his face that made it seem like what he was doing wasn't anything new. In fact he looked confident in whatever he was about to do.
Green Pearl, seven Rubies and the Quartz captain got ready for a fight. "What do you think you're doing?!" The Quartz captain said in an authority tone of voice.
The creature resembled a hedgehog from the planet earth. But he walked on two legs and had two arms, he had on socks and shoes, gloves and some kind of goggles. "You've kept the Chaos Emerald here against his will. He's crying to be set free."
Green Pearl could feel something looking at the stranger, he may have been organic but there was something very unique about him. The captain had enough of the organic creature, she like many Gems had a deep resentment towards organic lifeforms and wanted to kill the intruder. Green Pearl was ordered to fight alongside her captain, which she did. She fought alongside her comrades, but she was amazed and bewildered as she watched the creature poof her comrades, even her captain fell, the creature used only his hands, legs and some kind of attack that was similar to a Quartz Dash Attack. But for some reason he refused to fight her, she was furious. "Face me you beast!" She shouted as she charged.
The creature jumped out of the way and allowed the Green Pearl's rapier to break the containment field. The being then grabbed the Emerald. "This Emerald doesn't belong to you."
"What are you talking about?" Green Pearl asked.
"You trapped this precious Chaos Emerald. And he wants back to his home." Green Pearl felt some kind of kindred presence from the creature. Never before had she seen something care about a Gem before, especially an organic lifeform.
The hedgehog then took out six other Emeralds of different colors. Green Pearl then thought that he was actually some kind of kidnapper, he kidnapped seven Emeralds! "Release the Emeralds you kidnapper!" She cried out as she charged at the hedgehog, then he suddenly began to glow platinum, when her rapier touched his body it shattered. She then felt some kind of force from the organic creature, the hedgehog's force was making her hair go wild. Her hair normally covered her eyes and her gemstone on her forehead but the force from the being was making her gem visible.
The being then turned the color of platinum, but his eyes remained an Emerald green color. "Now their truly free. My brothers and sisters are free once again."
"You're related to Emeralds?" Green Pearl asked the being. The force coming the being stopped, Green Pearl's hair went back to covering her eyes and gemstone.
"In a sense… Yes. I am yet I am not… I'm kindred yet serious…" The platinum glowing being moved towards Green Pearl. "My name is Nazo, but my friends call me Emerald. What's your name?" Emerald aka Nazo said to Green Pearl as he lifted up her hair while she was shaking in his presence.
She wanted to move yet couldn't resist looking at him. Her greenish eyes gazed into his eyes, "I'm a Green Pearl." She said as her fellow Gems began to reform. She also noticed there was something about the hair of this Nazo that looked familiar. She thought to the murals of the great four… Yes! She was certain that he somehow resembled Her High Clarity, the true leader of all Gems.
"Want to come places with me?" He asked her as she looked into his eyes.
The other Gems reformed, and once they did the Quartz captain ordered everyone to bow. "Yes my Captain." Green Pearl said.
"Don't bow to me out of fear but respect." He said to the Gems, then Nazo looked at Green Pearl. "Except for you… You don't ever have to bow to me."
Green Pearl was confused, she wasn't sure what significance this being had especially for an organic. She couldn't understand how he claimed to be related to Emeralds, and she didn't understand why he was asking her a mere Pearl to come with him. Pearls were beneath every other Gem, yet he talked with her in a tone that made her feel like an equal individual. "I'm just a Pearl," was all she could say, she couldn't think of anything else to say to the mighty Nazo.
"Captain Quartz." Nazo said to the captain.
"Yes?" She said in a fearful tone.
"I want Green Pearl by my side. She will travel with me and go wherever I want." The Gems obeyed Nazo's orders and gave Green Pearl to him.
Green Pearl was very surprised, some powerful being she didn't know anything about wanted her at his side. He had some kind of past with the Gems, a past that made her former captain obey him. Green Pearl didn't know what would happen, but she expected to follow his orders.
Present Day at the Beach House
"So you took command over Green Pearl." Garnet said.
Green felt embarrassed. "Looking back… I did some questionable stuff… But nothing with evil intent. I just was focused on having friends and companions at my side."
"And I'd continue to serve you as a loyal Pearl." Green Pearl said as she looked at her friend.
