Betrayed 2
A/N: So, it seems I have spotted a wild "hater"!
So, let's get real. I don't usually call out, but I highly doubt I can let this person go on and keep saying rude and hateful comments on people's stories.
Now, I'm not going to say this person's name, but if you want to see them, go on ahead into the comments on my story. They have said that someone else took the idea from their story (which I highly, highly doubt) and told me that I did everything wrong.
Do I believe this person? No, I think their full of crap.
But there might be more of you out there who are getting comments from them. If you really want to answer, just do it in a polite and sensible manner. And then, don't believe what they say unless it's actual constructive criticism.
I'm NOT saying you should be rude or mean to this user. I'm not implying that you could say mean things about their stories. Just, don't let them get you down, okay?
Now back to the real A/N.
I may not have gotten many people looking at this yet, but I think I've gotten some pretty positive reception! So, here it is, chapter 2!
Oh, and one more thing. Someone asked if this was in the same universe as The Last Citrine. Sadly, I could not answer them. But I will just say it here. No, it is not.
(P.S. Find the Sherlock quote! {Or at least like it, I won't be mad if you don't.})
When I stepped aboard that ship, I was taken aback by how cool it looked. It was a lot more badass than Jasper's ship. Or was that Peridot's ship? Whatever, it was Homeworld's ship.
There was a lot more yellow inside, and many zigzagged corridors. Now this was my style! It didn't look like many gems were on. Just Yellow Diamond, Milky Quartz, Onyx, the gem who was piloting the ship, and then me.
I looked around the ship a bit, examining each place I could go to. One boring thing about this ship is that it was still all the same everywhere. My exploring was disturbed by the ship shaking.
"Yellow Diamond! I have been informed that the Crystal Gems are attacking this ship!"
I look around. It was the pilot gem. She puts her hand up in a salute as Yellow Diamond goes to her.
"I understand. Nephrite, go get the Elites." Yellow Diamond orders. She looks out. I knew we were about to leave, why wouldn't they just let us go? Do they really think they are just going to win me back? What are they doing?
"Yes ma'am." Nephrite says. Her short hair whips behind her as she runs off to get them.
"Amethyst, do you have any idea why they are doing this?" Yellow Diamond asks, still not facing me. I shake my head.
"No. I don't know what they're trying to do. We were leaving!" I tell her. I start to hear the footsteps of Milky Quartz and Onyx.
"Milky Quartz, Onyx. Hold them back. Make them stop. I am giving you permission to fuse and become Sesame Jasper for this operation." Yellow Diamond says to the Elites. They both nod. They look at each other with smirks on their faces. They go towards the door of the ship.
Wow, I didn't think Yellow Diamond would say they could fuse. I heard what Jasper said, maybe Jasper hates fusion more than Homeworld does?
I look out of the window. I can see the Crystal Gems trying to do anything to the ship they can. Garnet starts to make her gauntlets huge. Milky Quartz kicks her before she can hit the ship though. And Onyx jumps and hits her from behind. This makes her go farther away.
"You know, we would tell you to stop, but I believe you situation has been made quite clear to you." Milky Quartz says. The Crystal Gems stop trying to do whatever they were doing to the ship. I can see gauntlets heading straight Milky Quartz and Onyx. I run up to the door and use my whip to misdirect their course. The gauntlets go straight in front of the Crystal Gems, causing smoke to go everywhere.
"Thanks." Milky Quartz says.
"No problem." I reply with a grin. I go back towards the ship a little more. When the smoke clears, Garnet is standing with everyone again.
"Well, I guess you guys don't know when to quit." Onyx snarks. Milky Quartz and Onyx both look at the Crystal Gems like they had already defeated them. Could this be how I could have been?
"I think we should get this over with, what do you think, Onyx?" Milky Quartz asks. Onyx nods.
"Yeah, I can't wait to get back home anyway." Onyx answers. The both spread apart from another. Garnet has a concerned look on her face as she lunges for them. She knows what they're going to do. I can't let her stop them! I summon my whip and latch on to her.
I used the whiplash technique that I used only hours prior to get her to stumble backwards. Milky Quartz and Onyx start to perform the most in sync dance I have ever seen. It looks like they are almost done.
"Gems! Stop them!" Garnet yells. I can't believe she is trying to stop two gems from fusing. I start to see the gem on Milky Quartz abdomen glow, and Onyx's gem on her chest (which was a little above where mine is) glow.
I can see a light surround them as their fusion starts to form. It gets bigger and bigger, nearly rivaling Malachite's height. When the light goes away, I see a massive gem. She has two eyes and four arms. She has different patterns of white and black on her skin. She has long, wild white hair with black ends. She has a long, diamond outfitted uniform with white and black ankle boots.
The Crystal Gems move back slightly, probably scared of the huge fusion. I would be too. Sesame Jasper takes no time to take out her weapon. She uses Milky Quartz's throwing stars and Onyx's scythe together to create two huge ring swords.
Sesame Jasper throws the ring swords to try and make the Crystal Gems go away. Everyone jumps out of the way, except for Garnet, who tries to catch them. She catches them with her gauntlets, but they prove to be too much and knock her back a little bit.
Sesame Jasper had already summoned two more ring swords before I could even look once more. She had rolled and threw them this time. While the gems were dodging the rolling one, the thrown one had hit all but Steven and Connie. They fused into Stevonnie to help them better.
The thrown one also hit the beach house. I could see Peridot looking out of the window, then ducking before it could hit her. I saw her get back up again, frightened.
Stevonnie was going to be a problem. I used my whip to trip her. Then, I grabbed her leg and threw her as hard as I could. Time to get her out of the danger.
Pearl and Garnet got back up. Sesame Jasper used her rings to produce a wave of wind that knocked both Pearl and Garnet into the Temple.
"Time to finish this." Sesame Jasper says. She walks and grabs Pearl and Garnet. She throws them as far as she can. She did come to make them stop, so I have to give her some points.
She defuses and Milky Quartz and Onyx run inside. I high five them as they go in. They hit my hand but share confused expressions.
"I'll show you guys what it is." I say to them. I close the door and we get ready to take off. I look out of the window as we go, just to say goodbye one last time. To Earth.
The ship starts to go upward. In the corner of my eye I see Stevonnie coming back, and looking up at the ship. At me. She has a solemn look on her face.
"Goodbye Steven." I say. I make sure to say it in a way that Steven could possibly tell what I was saying. I wave at Stevonnie, and she waves back in the saddest way I could see.
The ship goes farther and farther into the sky, and I can't see Stevonnie anymore. I turn away once the Earth goes out of the distance. I make sure to wave before I go.
I walk to find where Milky Quartz and Onyx are. I have yet to show them a high five.
I walk and see a place where they are sitting down at a table. I walk in.
"Oh hi Amethyst!" Milky Quartz greets. I think it is easier to tell she is the more talkative of the two. Onyx just gives me a shy wave.
"Hey Milky Quartz." I say.
She chuckles, "Please, just call me Milky. Or MQ."
"Okay, MQ. I think that one has a much more umpth to it."
"Yeah, I guess you're right," She agrees, "So, the Crystal Gems? I can't believe you were a part of them! Those traitors to Homeworld. What was it like?"
What would I say?
I answer, "Oh, not much. We would harvest the corrupted gems that were around the planet."
"Harvest them? What kind of horrible fate is that? You know you are conscious when you are harvested?"
"Yeah, I've been through it. I just never wanted to tell the gems. I don't know why. Eventually I forgot about it."
"Did they say anything about Homeworld?" Onyx asks.
"No, they barely ever mentioned it. Or home, I should say." I answer. "What is it like there?"
"Homeworld is a wonderful place! All of the buildings are beautiful!" Milky Quartz answers.
"Everyone looks up to you. Except for the Pearls, they are looked down upon. But, not everyone gets Pearls." Onyx adds.
"I wonder how the mission with Jasper went." Milky Quartz ponders.
"Well, you could say it was blue." I say. Both gems look at me in confusion. "She is at the bottom of the ocean."
Milky Quartz has a surprised look on her face, "How?"
"She fused with Lapis."
"The informant? See, this is why they should have sent us! See what I'm talking about, Onyx? I feel like they don't want to bring us."
"If you say so." Onyx answers. She leans back on her chair.
"Do you guys not usually go out on these type of things often?" I ask.
"Not really. But the fun thing is that we get to go to the more fun ones." Milky Quartz replies. "And that we get to go together."
"Milky!" Onyx nags. Milky Quartz laughs. "I have to admit though, we do make a great team."
They do. How'd they even get that in sync? Must have taken loads of practice.
"Anyway, with Jasper. This was her last chance to prove herself. And she failed. I doubt she means anything to Homeworld anymore." Milky Quartz states.
"She meant nothing to me already." Onyx adds with her gravelly voice.
I'm confused. "What are you guys talking about?"
"Well, I guess you wouldn't know. Jasper did something during the rebellion that had helped the Crystal Gems win. Homeworld had lashed out on her. Yellow Diamond didn't trust her anymore, neither did the other Diamonds." Milky Quartz answers. "People never gave her a passing glance, and when they did, it was only to talk smack about her. So, she got rude. She got mean. She started to turn up Homeworld's beliefs by 11. She'd say fusion was horrible, yet we use it as a battle tactic." Milky Quartz sighs. "This mission was her last chance to prove herself to Homeworld. So, she got on the ship, determined as ever. She told us when she comes back she'll have Rose."
"Wow."
"Yeah. I felt a little bad for her," Onyx points out, "But definitely not enough. I can't believe she let that gem go!"
"What gem?"
"The stories change up every so often, but most say it was a little red Ruby. An elemental too, you wouldn't believe!" Onyx answers. Ruby, little, elemental.
"Ruby?" I ask myself.
"You know Ruby?" Milky Quartz asks.
"Know her? I used to be on the same team as her! Except I barely ever saw her. She was always fused."
"It all makes sense now…"
"Anyway, I have yet to teach you how to high five." I point out. Milky Quartz and Onyx look at me.
"Well, what is it? Did we do it right the first time?" Milky Quartz asks.
I started to explain to them what a high five was, "Kinda. I'll show you. You just old your hand out and…"
A/N: All finished! This chapter is completed before my other fics because it's a new story and I wanted to get it going.
So, not too much in this chapter. I just covered a few basic things. Bonding, personality building, Homeworld's opinion of fusing, high fiving. And a teensy bit of Jasper's backstory! I didn't make up the theory, I just kinda built upon it. Such as me saying she let Ruby go. I just remember seeing something like it. Oh well, I'll probably see it again.
Anyway, I think I did a good job. I did a lesson in my favourite class (English) that really helped me with this chapter. Hooray for placement of speaker tags!
I can't believe I'm doing this, but NO FLAMES. I'd think people have some common sense. If you don't like my story, then don't read it. If you have actual constructive criticism, then comment.
So, if you couldn't tell, Onyx and Milky Quartz are like Ruby and Sapphire, in that they are opposites. They are also good friends.
But Rosevine, do they love each other?
No. Maybe they will in the future, but probably not. They are just best friends pretty much.
Okay, long A/N over.
I hope you like my fic so far!
