Heyo FanFiction peoples, I'm back with the second chapter of Constellations! It took a bit longer than I first anticipated, but it's out now at least. Enjoy!
Pearl was out of breath, metaphorically speaking, trying to keep up with Jasper. The fatal blow which should have made Jasper retreat into her gem, didn't. What was the deal with that? "Heh, you and the other rebels haven't even got any clue what's going to hit them!" "Remember, your attention is with me!" Jasper snarled at this comment. Furiously. "Stop trying to off balance me!" She rushes again towards Pearl, this time aiming for her gem. Pearl notices this and blocks her with the hilt of her spear. Pearl rushes, this time, finding an opening and deals another heavy blow with her spear, Jasper recoils with pain, still not wanting to lose to… Whatever this gems name was. She didn't care. She wanted the rebels captured. Her leg swung upwards and she gathered every single piece of strength she had to bring her leg down with a swing that shook the entire galaxy. Pearl was immediately knocked out. She couldn't retreat into her gem. She must keep fighting. For her. For Rose.
Rose Quartz was retreating. She couldn't risk any more gems being destroyed. The small crew on the escape ship was not even a quarter of a proper team. But it was a start. She moved back into the control room, satisfied she'd explained her point. She tuned into the small one way radio to Homeworld. There was a green gem. "You have been warned once, defective gems, we will not tolerate mutiny. We are not giving second chances here. We will shoot you down without hesitation. Weapons logistics have already been calculated, you'll be shot down in the next thirty minutes." The communications burst into static. "Console, enter hyperspace for galaxy 0121 and calculate any NSOs within 30 radius." The console spat out a bunch of code and countless other results came flying down the screen.
"People!" She shouted, panicking once again. "We're gonna be shot down! Get into defensive positions!" Inaudible whispering could be heard from the back of the ship. "Don't argue, just do it!" The small blue gem rushed to the cockpit. "What are you doing here?! I thought I told you to stay back!" The small gem brushed her hair away and stared right at her. She saw that she had future vision- rare in a gem like a sapphire. Rose understood and let her take charge. "Are all of you in defensive positions?!" "Augh!" An angered cry could be heard from the back. "I can't wait! This is too tense! I'm going to blow some steam off!" The first of the missiles started.
The small red gem opened the hatch and was launched forward by the acceleration of the ship. "Take… THIS!" The first missile was hit by a massive force – Ruby, to be exact. "Augh! Take this!" She raged blindly at the waterfall of missiles, heating up faster than the average supernova. Controlled, of course, otherwise the ship would be engulfed in scorching white flames. Probably. The massive torrent of missiles trickled down to a raindrop under Ruby's extraordinary rage. Rose's eyes reflected the twinkle of the remnants of the onslaught. "Amazing…" She muttered under her breath. Maybe this was better than she originally thought.
"Peridot reporting. First command was broken, launching second command to combat. Using units 3, 7, 8, 2. The members of the ship is made of 0142RQ, 3543R, 3576S, and an unrecognised gem." She tapped and slid the audio icon and sent it to the mainframe. "Stupid clods... When will I get a break?" She had a new notification. This was rare. She opened it out of pure curiosity. "*static* replying. The statuses of 3R and 6S have confirmed future vision and severe temperature fluctuations. Please skip to command three, with command 2-7 as well. Over."
"Command 2-7? You're needed on duty. The rest stay there."
The blue figure stepped into a spaceship and sped off, trying to catch up with the rebel ship. "Commencing attack sequence 03-12-21-19-20-05-18."
Who is this mysterious figure? What's happened to Pearl? Why do I suddenly feel the need to create random rhetorical questions now? None of those questions and more chapter 3 of Constellations! ~Azure
