Jasper was trying to find her way around Earth. She despised it so. She couldn't find Peridot, she couldn't contact homeworld, and she COULDN'T GET OFF THIS GEM FORSAKEN PLANET!
Jasper found her mind wandering to that Lapis Lazuli she was fused with for so long and tried to trick herself to feel disgust but she couldn't shake that odd feeling off her. When they were fused, it was torture, but something about it she liked...NO! That Lazuli tricked me, chained me up like a prisoner, and I will SHATTER her as well as those Crystal Gems and Rose...that Rose...the one who shattered MY DIAMOND.
Her long mane prickled as she felt a wet substance trickle down her check. It was a little bit of liquid coming from her eyes but she didn't recognize this substance and decided to put it off for the time being and trudged on.
As she went through the forest she heard a growl, two shrieks resonating from a human female and male, and some sort of annoying noise she couldn't stand but decided to check it out as curiosity got the best of her.
There came a small clearing that was human made but there were a few splintered trees. She instantly knew this was something bigger than any mere Earth creature. Jasper found a human dwelling but it seemed to be wrecked and there were many noises coming from inside and her warriors instinct kicked in sensing there was a corrupted gem inside.
Jasper walked in quietly which was hard because of her size but she had thousands of years of training for stealth so she managed with the old splintered wood.
As she walked in she noticed two torn bloody bodies. One a human female, one a human male. Seems like the abomination shattered them, pathetic. Though she can't help but feel bad for these walking meat sacks who already have such short fragile lifespans.
As she was in thought the corrupt gem had snuck up behind her and wacked her into the wall. Jasper simply got up as if unfazed. "You think just because you got the jump on me you can take me down?" she snarled and summoned her crash helmet ramming it straight into the gem with a spin dash as it poofed and cracked. She picked it up and crushed it in her hands.
"I can't believe humans are weak enough to be taken down by corruptions, ESPECIALLY the weakest ones as peridots. PLUS corrupt lose most their intelligence and strategy!" Jasper mumbled. All of a sudden a moaning was heard coming from the male human. Jasper walked over to him.
"Thought you were dead human."
"I will be." the human male said weakly. "I have a dying wish I hope you will fulfill. My daughter was just born and I have no other family, you seem strong and capable, please take care of her, I have some care guides and supplies in this house which you may reside if you choose to grant my wish. Please think it over..." and he slowly closed his eyes.
Jasper may have seemed cruel and evil but she wasn't truly, in the war, she cared about the gems on her side but homeworld robbed her of most emotions. But she was still a good gem at heart if gems had a heart. She had heard of humans burying their loved ones corpses as a way to put them at peace and visit them so she did that, plus she didn't want there to be any smelly dead bodies lying around in her new dwelling...if she decided to stay. After the job was done she glowed and she was completely disinfected. Pearls on homeworld had recently discovered this trick and she was tired of the messes of war, constantly bathing and rephrasing clothing.
She went inside.
'I better find this infant before it perishes unless its already shattered' she thought going inside to suddenly hear that ear piercing sound again. WHAT THE HECK IS THAT! ITS LOUDER THAN THE SOUNDS OF A THOUSAND GEMS BEING SHATTERED! Jasper ran over to the source to find the human child shrieking, liquid coming from its eyes.
"WHATS WRONG HUMAN?! WHAT DO YOU WANT!" Jasper yelled which only served to make the child cry louder. She decided to refer to the 'books' the human were talking about. Peridot was right, these humans WERE archaic. She went over to the damaged shelf and dug out a book and read it. 5 Shades of Gray no, Harry Potter no, aahh yes How to Raise an Infant to Adult. Jasper could read human, in fact she could read all the human languages because she was created on Earth THUS having automatic knowledge of Earth and Homeworlds reading and writing though Homeworld oddly spoke Earths English. Jasper remembered all her embarrassing times when she accidentally spoke the wrong Earth language since homeworld only spoke English and everyone would look at her like she was crazy. Only the Peridots would understand her for she wasn't the meathead she appeared to be. She had a highly developed brain as well as muscle, she just didn't like to show it because homeworld preferred her muscle over mind. They often told her to leave it to the Peridots. She always had a secret wanting to invent technology...
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
Jasper was brought back to reality and rushed back to the crib. "HOLD YOUR FORM I'M COMING!"
She paged through the book for the chapter on what the child could need for why she's crying for Jasper can read a whole page at a glace. "No I don't believe this human has the symptoms of this 'sick' " she mumbled and kept flipping rapidly. She got to a page that said maybe the child had expelled waste. Jasper sighed desperately not wanting to do this. She could handle ANY substance but that. Jasper shuddered and checked the diaper. Clean. Jasper sighed a relief but the wailing didn't stop. She heard a grumble come from the small infants stomach and flipped through the book to find it could be the cause of hunger. She went to the chapter of how to feed your baby and after a moment dropped the book in disgust.
"Child, there is NO way I will do that to my form and let you do that to me in ANY circumstance! NO amount of wailing could make me do that. Even if I could produce you're nutrition."
The child wailed louder and Jasper held her ear and looked in the book hoping for another solution because even if she wanted to do it she couldn't produce nutrition like that like humans did. Thankfully there was a solution called 'formula'.
Jasper walked over to the wrecked kitchen area that somehow was still functional. She rummaged through the cupboards and fridge until she found the supplies and prepared it like instructed. Somehow she had done it perfect the first time. Then she cradled the child in one hand for it was big enough for the tiny infant and fed her and her crying ceased as she suckled contently on the bottle.
"Thank the stars it stopped crying." Jasper looked up. she hear a tiny noise and looked down and saw the infants eyes for the first time.
They were the same color as hers...amber. She noticed she has wisps of curly brown hair sticking out but those eyes...her heart she had locked away had found its key
"I will fulfill your wish" she whispered and found herself smile, not from the lust of battle and rage, but from happiness as the child fell asleep in her arms.
