Chapter 1: Beginnings
"For once let me do something for you! I want to be….."
That was the last thing I could remember, before I was like this. Under rubble in a laboratory of sorts. Very little memories to go off of, just those last words were troubling to remember. In fact, I could not remember anything else but two things, my name and what I am. I am gem hybrid, why I exist is still a question and who I was before whatever caused me to end up like this. I needed answers, and I needed them now.
My gem began to shake causing the rubble to deteriorate before all that was left was dust and my gem. That's step one, now onto step two. I begin to reform, which I gotta say, feels incredibly weird and uncomfortable. I could feel a surge of electricity form alongside me, which felt amazing.
His form finally came together again, he had pink skin with a red stripe down the middle of his face that went down to the rest of his body. His hair was pink, short and had a somewhat messy attitude to it, his eyes colored with a light pink. He was somewhat tall, almost to that of a common pearl. His clothing consisted of a black trench coat, blue button up shirt, and grey pants. On the sleeves of his coat he had four colored diamonds, one pink,one white,and one yellow. On his pants he had two pink stars were his knees were.
I need to find a way out, I need to see where I am. As I looked around I could see light shining above me. Looking up I could see a hole that seemed big enough to where I could possibly get out. Now the only problem was the trying to get to the hole. I tried looking around for something that could assist my escape. It took me a while before I began to remember something. I could see a group of gems jumping through the hole. The others I couldn't make out but the one I could was a very tall gem with long pink curly hair.
Well I was at least a half-gem right? So if they could do it,what is stopping me from doing it? As I position myself below the hole I could feel something surrounding my feet. When I look down I noticed that my feet were being surrounded with electricity. For some reason this felt familiar and great.
With no more seeming to be done I crouched down,feeling the flow of electricity within my feet and jumped as hard as I could. What I didn't take into account for was exactly how much pressure to use because "ohhhhh myyy staaarrrs!", I went a little too high. As I was in the air I was able to see a something in the distance, it was a city! I knew exactly where I needed to go, then I realized I was falling. I tried to move more distance so I did not end up back into the hole.
It was a success! I did not land in the hole,but I did land on solid earth. "Ow, pain, quite a bit of pain.." Luckily for me being part gem allowed me not to be dead within impact,I hope. After some time my body felt as if it could move again, so I got up and began walking through a field of sorts. It took me a while but I finally made it through. Now I just need to get to that city.
As I was walking I had noticed that up ahead there were three people standing next to some sort of machine. It seems they noticed me as I could hear them talking about me as I passed them. "Dude get a look at this guy, looks like something right out of a action movie", one of the males said. Is that an insult or a compliment? You know what? I don't want to know. I just ignored them as I continued to walk to my destination "hey man you need a ride?". I turned to see the same male talking to me. "You look like you're heading to the same place we are". "Why would you help me? You don't even know who I am.". He only shrugged and said "I just want to be helpful man, you seem like a guy who is looking for something." Well he was not wrong.
I decided to take the opportunity, they let me into their 'car' as I learned what it was called. I also learned the names of the people helping me. The male who I was talking to was Buck. the others were Sour Cream and Jenny. They explained they were heading out of town for a 'rave',but had to go back due to Jenny's family. The city I had saw was actually a town by the name of Beach City, which sounded even more confusing. As we approached our destination I heard the sounds of battle. "Do you hear that? It sounds like someone fighting?". Jenny spoke up "yeah that's kinda normal around here."
The next part happened so fast. After we got to our destination I began to run towards the sound of the fighting, I don't know why really. Something inside my mind told me to follow it. When I found out what it was I was in shock. This gigantic golem looking creature with a gem inside it's forehead was attacking...other gems! Finally something that could help me here. I guess the others noticed my presence because they seemed to be looking at me with shocked faces. Trying to be friendly I waved at them, forgetting the giant beast that too noticed me.
As the creature tried to hit me with it's stub of an arm my body 'kicked into gear' as one might say. I began to dodge most of its oncoming attacks with little to no ease. That the best you got? Shame..I was hoping for something more of a challenge. That was unusual, it kinda just came randomly to my mind. As my mind wandered I could feel the electricity coming back to me, as if second nature I shot an electrical bolt from my hand at the creature. Once again without any knowledge my mouth spoke "come on..i'm not even trying". The beast growled before swinging again. I caught the swing this time and sighed "you are not worth my time".
I could feel the electricity leaving my body and damaging the beast making it poof into a small gem. The random surge I felt that made me want to fight disappeared, making my body extremely sore. "Note to self before fighting make sure to stretch. Now to talk to those..oh it seems they are coming to me! At an alarming rate….oh crab baskets". The bigger gem punched me straight in the face sending me downward. My already tired body couldn't take it and I began to black out, but I did hear some voices. "I can't believe he's back.."one voice said. "not for long" the other said.
I hope you all like the rewritten version of the story. The next chapter will probably be out after the fourth of july. Hopefully you all have a great one. !
