Steven Universe: Homecoming Chapter 2: The diamonds
I do not own Steven Universe. Just my OC's.
"You took him back!" Amethyst cried as she stands near a furious fusion.
"Jasper," Garnet gritted her teeth with anger. "We told you that he was your responsibility. You weren't exactly responsible when you played him at the galaxy warp!"
The orange gem looks at her with wide eyes as she tries to keep from getting angry at the fusion. Who saw them? Don't they know how she's feeling now? Anxiety getting the best of her, Jasper shakes her head and runs away from them. She feels like hitting a tree for being so stupid. Why must she be so emotional in times like these!
"You don't want to make Yellow mad at you. You care about being the best of the best." Steven tells her as she sits in the sand where the boy found her.
The gem looks at him and sighs. "Its not your problem, shrimp. Why do you care so much about a gem that doesn't have any powers? You never knew Tiger Eye."
Steven responded with a, "He is just a kid, Jasper. A kid like me." And left her to look at the sunset alone.
The warmth of the sun was welcoming to the gem. She breaths in and out. Trying to get the troubling thoughts out of her head. What did she do to deserve a child who at the same time was created to be something more? He was her world and she left him at Homeworld to suffer alone. Tiger Eye was her student and she let him down. The feeling of letting everyone down consumed her.
Tears. Tears of pain and heartbreak were finally shed. The sunset was already gone by the time Jasper left. She had no where to go now. If she would go back to the house where Garnet was, she would be in for a load of lectures. Instead of heading there she turns to the ocean. The ocean carried her away from her doubts and regrets. Her disappearance would hurt Tiger, but she knew this was the best chance at her new life.
Nobody would know her. Nobody would care. No gems would annoy her every day. She would be free.
Free from heartbreak. Not quite.
Jasper cries at that last thought. Memories of training Tiger began to flood her. His first reforming. First victory. First defeat. It was all giving Jasper the worst headache ever. Why are the memories hurting her so much? If she did have a heart; it would be trying to break free from its captivity.
As the ocean carried her from Beach City and into the center of the ocean. Jasper could hear a machine in the distance. She doesn't mind though. Humans have their ways around the Earth. She lets the sound get louder and louder until she knew something was wrong. Really wrong. They found her.
"Jasper! What the stars are you doing in the ocean!?" A fusion by the same of Alexandrite call out as the gem just lays in the ocean staring at them. Beside her was a big green gem mutant the size of the empire city tower.
"Enjoying my freedom until it was ruined by you." Jasper mutters as Stevonnie comes in on a pink jet ski. Sword and shield already out. "Great more of you."
"Jasper, this isn't the time to feel terrible. This mutant destroyed the galaxy warp!" Stevonnie shouted trying to keep it together at the look on the gems face was utter shock. "Which means that Tiger doesn't have a chance to return home."
The mutant was covered in spikes more likely being shards. Jasper looks over at the fighting fusions and narrows her eyes. They were trying to save Tiger's future? That's what Steven meant by innocents. Tiger is just a child. An innocent child.
"Your right, fusion." Jasper whispers cracking her muscles as she sits up in the water. She glares at the mutant who noticed her before getting socked by Stevonnie with their shield. "Tiger has a family here on Earth. He doesn't have that on Homeworld."
With that Jasper lounges for the gem mutant helmet already summoned for the fight.
Yellow Diamond ushers Tiger Eye to her side as Blue and White Diamond watches him closely. His jacket and jeans were not flattering them at all.
"Do you understand why I summoned you?" Yellow asks suddenly out of the blue.
Tiger shakes his head honestly. He doesn't bow to her like Jasper told him to do so many times before. He just stood in front of her and the others. The poor boy was shaking in his shoes. The gem on his chest was glowing a little bit too bright. The jacket was barely covering it.
"Evil is coming, and they are coming for us." White told him as Yellow and Blue look away from the child. "Most times we usually try to prevent that from happening but this. This gem is far more powerful than us three."
"Tiger Eye, you must start your training to be able to withstand a fight against this evil." Blue pleads trying to keep her voice from breaking.
Tiger looks at them and finally at Yellow who kneels down (more like laying down) to his level. He could see fear in her eyes. She was afraid.
"Who is this gem your speaking of? Why do I have to fight? Are you guys going to disappear?" He asks trying to sound calm but he was already pretty shaken by the news.
"She calls herself, the goddess of destruction, Bloodstone." Just as she said the gems name, a terrible explosion rocked the palace. Blue whimpers a bit as White tries to calm her. Yellow gives Tiger a grave look. "We have no time. You must take our Pearl's to Earth. She's here."
"This way." Blue calls as her Pearl holds back tears. The diamond was pointing to her arm who was repaired by Bismuth's and Peridots. "Hurry or she'll take you."
Tiger wanted to help defend the palace but Yellow picks him up and puts him into the ship. "You're the hope for this universe, Tiger. Please protect our Pearl's!"
Yellow Pearl just arrived in time to see a woman in armor with all kinds of gem stones attached to her break down the walls. Tiger cries as Yellow Pearl drags him back onto the ship by his tail. Bloodstone's hair was dark grey, her eyes were blood red, and her skin was charcoal. The gemstones on her dark red armor glowed ever so dimly.
"Where is the young one?!" The woman, Bloodstone, demands as she grabs White by her neck.
Yellow prepares her lightening as Blue forms a spiraling water spout. "We'll never tell you!"
Bloodstone gives a snarly smile. "Oh, but if you want to see your precious leader die, then you better tell me. Better yet, I'll get my drones to eliminate that ship before it escapes!" She cries as she tightens her grip on White Diamond.
"You sure talk a lot Bloodstone." Yellow spats as she charges forward.
"Oh Yellow, you sure yell a lot. But no worry, you will be mine soon." The goddess of Destruction laughs as she pulls out a flute with a rose on it. "Once I play the tune, your powers will be mine." She cackles as she deflects Yellow's lightening. She puts the flute up to her mouth.
The sound of beautiful music stops Yellow in her tracks. Instead of fighting she was getting dizzy. Her gem was hurting her from the inside. She fell onto her knees.
Blue and White were next to her in minutes. "Don't give in Yellow." Blue pleads as White defends them both from the music.
"I-I'm n-not in c-control anymore-or." Yellow cries as she screams in pain.
"Your absolutely correct." Bloodstone commented with a cringe worthy smile, "cause your about to go POP."
Yellow's eyes went wide at that last statement. A cloud of yellow replaced her. Her gem made a loud thud as it fell onto the ground. Bloodstone laughs as Blue and White stared in horror at what they witnessed. Their sister was just poofed easily. How could that happen?
"So, if you're going to just stand there and not put up a fight then that gives me the opportunity to claim you as well? Don't worry its going to hurt you more than it'll hurt me."
NOTE: Bloodstone is here, and we got a plot now! I like to think that Bloodstone is voiced by Meryl Streep. I don't know Tiger Eye's voice actor yet but I think it would be Todd Haberkorn.
Hope you enjoyed this chapter. Please review to let me know what changes I need to make.
P.S: Tiger Eye chose to have he/him pronouns so please don't tell me gems can't be males. They are genderless for crying out loud! This is my story also. If you don't like Tiger than don't read this story.
Peace out.
