A/N: Wow. I am impressed at how quickly people have read this. Not even 24 hours, and already over 200 new and returning Seraphim have read Chapter 1. I realise how popular Steven Universe is right now, what with all the crazy plot points, but still… Not even my other Fanfiction got this much attention, and that's RWBY, after season 5!
Okay, let me not look a gift horse in the mouth. Thank you, to everyone, for reading this. It actually means quite a bit to me, and i- And I'm doing the usual Thank You spiel. But seriously, thanks, mes beaux Seraphim. At least I know people enjoy my writing.
ON WITH THE SHOW!
Garnet and Pearl were talking about the Homeworld Gem when Steven walked in, having just seen his father and telling him about the excitement from yesterday. His dad was crying, but was also happy knowing Rose Quartz had used something that he had said many a time, as a way to activate a Gem weapon. He meant a lot to Rose, and this more than set that in stone. "Are you guys still not sure what to do with Ametrine?" He asked, announcing his presence. Garnet simply turned, waved, and nodded, while Pearl jumped an inch and a half off the ground.
"Goodness, Steven! You scared me!" Pearl said, getting flustered as well. "W-We weren't discussing the Ametrine at all! I honestly have no idea whe-"
"Yes, we were talking about Ametrine, Steven." Garnet stated simply, rolling over Pearl. "We still entirely sure what we want to do with her, since she won't answer our questions sincerely. Amethyst is in there now, trying to get answers out of her."
Steven frowned. For three or four days, they'd been trying extra hard to make this Ametrine talk. Steven could tell, though, that their efforts weren't very effective. "Can I talk to her? I wanna see what she's like." And before Pearl could object with her large list of reasons why that's a bad thing, Garnet nodded. "Thanks, Garnet."
Steven walked into the room, and once the door closed behind him, Pearl shot to Garnet, looking scared and upset and angry and all of these other emotions. "Garnet, are you crazy? Steven's still just a child! He shouldn't be in there! What if he gets hurt? What if she escapes? What if-"
"Steven will be fine, Pearl. Amethyst is in there with him, she won't let go of Ametrine. Besides, this will be a good experience for him." Garnet laid a hand on Pearl's shoulder. "Have faith in Steven."
They were stupid. They had to be. There was no way that they were intelligent lifeforms if they sent this blob of flesh and hair to interrogate me. "Are your traitor Gem buddies getting desperate, human? Sending a brainless little organic to gather intel when they couldn't do it?" I sneered, annoying the Amethyst and confusing the human.
"I'm not here to ask their questions, Ametrine. I'm here to ask my own questions. I'm curious about you and where you're from." The human responded, tilting his head 9 degrees to the left, with a smile. Something about him made me want to talk to him more, but that was crazy. There's no way a simple human could understand what a background I come from. But still, I felt compelled to answer his questions.
He sat in front of me, legs crossed. "What kind of weapon can your gem produce? I didn't get a chance to see it when you fought the others."
This human child was close enough to hear our fight? I didn't see him anywhere! He's a sneaky one, alright. Still, I smiled, and my Gem glowed. I willed my weapon out, and let it fall to the ground. "I use a variety of weapons, but this is my personal favorite: A double bladed scythe."
The boy wasn't terrified by my weapon, which I found odd, until something hit me (a few days ago, this would have been literal): He's seen the weapons the Crystal Clods use. He's staring at the whip around my body right now! "Whoa! That looks kind of dangerous.. But it's still a cool weapon!" He exclaimed excitedly. Hearing him compliment my weapon kinda made me feel… good… inside. "Your name is Ametrine, right?" he asked, holding out a hand. "I'm Steven! Steven Universe!"
So… The human's name is Steven Universe, huh? That part didn't much matter to me. What caught my attention was his sheer naivety. He referred to me as if I were the only Ametrine in existence. In the universe, even! But, at the same time, it made me feel special. Like I actually mattered. I knew this was untrue. In the grand scheme of things, I mattered to Homeworld about as much as this human mattered to the Earth.
But I still felt important.
"My Diamond, Peridot Facet 2F5L Cut 5XG reporting in." The Gem announced, crossing her arms in the signature Diamond Salute. "I have a report that you may find very interesting."
A hand extended from the shadows, waving her on as if to say "Spill it already."
"I have received a transmission from Ametrine Facet 6H14X Cut 9DV, the scout you sent to investigate the Earth."
She could hear Her Diamond shift in her mighty throne. "Continue," Her Diamond said, voice ringing across the room.
"Members of Rose Quartz' Crystal Gem army still live."
A/N: BUH BUH BUUUUUUUUUUUUH. Cliffhanger on chapter two? Yeah, I know. I'm the worst. Don't worry, though, I'll probably be back tomorrow for another upload.
Anyways, how'd you all enjoy this chapter? Leave a review, yeah? It helps me make revisions and gives me ideas for the next chapter!
Oh, and any good artists who like my works, I'd like to ask you guys a favor. But I won't talk about it here. PM me if you want to talk more.
With all of my ramblings FINALLY completed, it's time to say Tata~~~!
