Chapter 2 : Alarmed
Steven walked into his mom's room, a pink expanse than create what you ask for out of clouds . He had some bad times it here, but always he got out. He thought for a second, he finally properly stated his question and asked,
"Okay room, I need help with homework."
An electronic announcer's voice boomed,
"Activating tactical advisor -042- , please stand clear of exit point."
Soon an alarm began ringing as an old mainframe rose out of the floor, it's tape desk rotating at ungodly rates, with a glass cylinder in the middle, with a bubbled gem. The gem looked like a silver box with quartz spikes jutting out It was missing a corner . Before Steven could react the cylinder slid back down and the bubble popped. The gem floated up into the air. A thin disk of light appeared around the gem, then the disk went up and down, each full movement adding detail to the floating figure. Eventually after 5 passes the gem had formed, she was about as tall as a peridot with the similar attire, with some differences, one, her clothes where whitish-gray and she had near human skin tones,two she had a little skirt that looked like that of a lapis, and three long flowing white hair not dissimilar to that of an amethyst, but most importantly she had diamond shaped iris and a weird multicolored cornea. Steven got up for the fetal position and hid behind the mainframe and heard.
"Oh it does feel great to be me!"
Steven thought about talking to her but remembered Bismuth and shuddered. Sadly she found him before he found her. This time though she had a visor that covered her eyes and ears, it glowed blue-white. She looked at him and said in a way that shook him to his core,
"And who, are you! And why are YOU in MY server room."
"Um…"
"I will end you if you don't tell me who you are."
A broad blade with a buzzsaw blade on the end
"Um… I'm rose's son."
"Oh… Hmm… so she really did, well she did say she would one day, well. The room doesn't summon me for nothing what's the problem,Steven?"
Steven was slightly shaken up by the fact that this gem who just appeared knew his name and mom.
"Oh right, where are my manners!My name's pyritic quartz, and I must assume you need help."
"Yes I have a slight case of I can't read english!"
"Oh," she looked disappointed, "I think I can help with that," To the room "set time dilation to 10X"
"Um… what did you just do?"
"I made time here faster, so you can get this over faster because I think you need to sleep, right?"
"Yes , I do need sleep."
"Okay, this will take time."
A month passes in room time, but outside an hour had passed. Steven emerged from the room with new knowledge and literacy and did his homework now, with time to spare so he called connie. Soon the gems appear on the warp pad. Steven created them enthusiastically.
"I found a new gem guys, she's like peridot but nice, cool and can make things out of light!"
Pearl gave garnet and terrified look,then looked at Steven,
"You released Her !"
"What's so bad about her?"
Garnet responded.
"She was the only successful forced fusion experiment, she is a ball of hate,rage,insanity and chaos, perfectly hidden by a mask of pure a tactical and brilliant mind."
Suddenly the door to rose's was blasted off and crashed strait through the front of Steven's house. Pyritic Quartz walked through the steaming hole. She now was wearing her signature armour, a thin suit but it fully covered her, with mechanical hand with a ball "palm" and five cylindrical "fingers". On the back of the legs a long bar came out, like stilts, and a folding grappling hook that was connected to a real that sat on her shoulder and to top it off a small,sleek jetpack. She yelled,
"AND I'M BACK IN BLACK!"
As the the main refrain of back in black played.
The Crystal Gems ran and hid behind the counter with Steven in tow, Pyritic Quartz ran out of the hole the used to be the door. The leg enhancement making a noise similar to a pogo stick. She jumped over the deck railing and deftly landed on the beach. Suddenly a circular screen made of light appeared, she tentatively tapped it, soon she had two more similar screens on which she tapped, typed and swiped furiously, then muttered,
"Oh no… I'll have to perform a manual activation override."
She grumbled at herself some more, than a pair of massive glowing blue, feathered wing came out of her back, and with a single flap she was launched high into the air. The gems carefully rose out of cover making sure the arsonist that had destroyed both doors was finally gone. Pearl looked at Steven and said,
"This has got to be the biggest mistake you have ever made, and now we're going to have to defeat a gem that nearly did an Everyone Dies™ during a training drill. We are totally dead! Or worse, if she finds her other half then this world may as well be dead."
Garnet just stopped functioning, and Amethyst just went back one of culinary "projects" that involved pizza, cake, a burrito and a traffic cone, to afraid and didn't actually know anything about Pyritic quartz.
.
Steven knew what to do, and called Connie.
Somewhere, a voice said,
"End chapter 2, beginning Chapter 3"
