"He left?!" Five voices yelled at Lapis. She had told them about Onyx's decision.
"Yes, and he doesn't want us to follow him because he doesn't want to risk us getting hurt or even shattered." Lapis explained to the Crystal Gems.
"He left without me?!" Said an annoyed Peridot.
The others looked at her. Garnet sighed. "We need to finish this drill and stop the cluster. Because if we don't and we fail to save earth. Onyx's sacrifice will be for nothing." She said as she looked at Pearl and Peridot.
"Let's go, Peridot. We'll finish this today!" Pearl yelled as she grabbed Peridot and went straight to the barn.
Lapis knew what Pearl was feeling. They felt the same thing.
"What about us? They have everything they've got for the drill!" Amethyst argued.
"We'll stay close by and watch them, something wrong might happen." Garnet said as she walked towards the door. Amethyst just followed her.
Lapis and Steven were left inside. "I can't believe he left. We were having so much fun!" Steven yelled.
"Steven, calm down." Lapis said with a calm voice.
Steven grunted. "I'm going to help him!" He yelled as he ran towards the warp pad.
"Steven, wait!" Lapis yelled for the boy. But he had already left.
Lapis was shocked. "The Gems are gonna kill me." She ran outside and tried to find the other Gems.
Steven warped at the Homeworld warp. For some reason, it was fixed. "Huh? Didn't we break this the last time?"
He stepped onto the pad. "Well...It's worth the try." He concentrated as he put a bubble on his head. "Huh...I can't believe that worked. Now for the warp pad."
He cracked his fingers and exhaled. He was thinking twice.
But he didn't care. He activated the pad as he went straight to homeworld.
Onyx was sneaking around homeworld. He was being hunted down, he just wanted to take down every single one of their ships or warp pads so they couldn't do anything to any other planet.
He was under a ship that is shaped like a hand. It was under construction by multiple Peridot Gems. He then heard one of them talk to another Peridot. "We've found a Topaz gem and retrieved it. We need to bring it to Yellow diamond for info." The Peridot explained to the other.
Onyx just snickered at what he had hear. "That's for trying to kill me, Topaz." He whispered.
"Wait!" Another Peridot came. Onyx was still listening. "A thing called 'Steven' came from the earth warp!"
Onyx was just smacking his face on the floor. "Steven..."
"Well, get it and bring it to Yellow diamond, along with this Topaz."
Onyx then saw Steven's feet as he tried to struggle. "Let me go! Our Peridot is better!"
"Stop talking you Steven." A Peridot warned as she pulled Steven away from Onyx's sight.
"I swear Steven. If you came here to help me, your dad is gonna kill me." Onyx said to himself.
He swiftly moved as he followed the Peridots, who are holding Steven captive.
"He did what?!" The Crystal Gems were shocked.
"He said he was gonna help Onyx. Even though I told him not to!" Lapis said as she was panicking herself.
Garnet groaned. "Alright, we're gonna have to go to homeworld..."
Amethyst and Pearl were shocked. "Garnet, are you crazy?! We don't understand anything back in homeworld!" Pearl argued.
"Our baby's in there! We've got no choice." Garnet replied.
Pearl sighed. "Fine. Let's go."
"No, you're not coming. I'm taking Amethyst and Lapis." Garnet said as Pearls eyes widened.
"But Garnet, I wanna help save Steven!" Pearl recoiled.
"I know you do. But you're gonna finish this drill with Peridot. You said it yourself." Garnet said with a grin.
Pearl didn't know what to say. "Let's go you two." Garnet said as Amethyst and Lapis followed her towards the beach house.
The three went straight to the warp pad as Garnet activated it. They were at the Homeworld warp pad. They saw that it was really fixed.
"Must've been Peridot's little robot thingies again." Amethyst joked.
"Not the time for joking, Amethyst. Let's activate it." Garnet said as she stood on the pad.
But before she got to activate it, she got punched away from the pad. "Garnet!" Amethyst and Lapis called out.
"Hello, fusion." That voice shocked Lapis. They all turned to the voice to see, "Jasper. How'd you get here?"
Garnet asked as she stood up with Amethyst and Lapis behind her. "Well, after infusing with that brat, I woke up on a stupid island. But I was surprised that it had a warp pad on it. So I came here and fixed the Homeworld warp. But when I came back, I saw you Crystal Gems try and use it. I don't think so." Jasper explained and charged at them.
"Gems, move!" Garnet called out as the three dispersed from the attack and they started to fight the Homeworld gem.
Onyx finally made it to where Steven was being presented to Yellow diamond. He was behind a statue as he was hearing the conversation between a Peridot and Yellow diamond.
"Yellow diamond. We found a Topaz floating outside homeworld. We believe that their ship was attacked by an enemy. And a Steven came from the earth warp pad. So we decided to destroy it so none of them can go here anymore." The Peridot explained to her leader.
Steven was shaken a bit when he saw Yellow diamond. "Are there anymore, Stevens in homeworld?" Yellow diamond asks.
"Negative. This is the only one. It has some sort of dome on its head." The Peridot says.
Suddenly, a bright light came from the Topaz gem. Onyx saw this as an opportunity as they were all covering their eyes from Topaz's regeneration. He then came towards the Peridot holding Steven hostage and poofed her. He kicked the gem under a statue making it not to come back.
Topaz finally came out and Yellow diamond opened her eyes to see Onyx running away with Steven.
"Onyx?! Topaz get them!" Yellow diamond ordered.
"Wait for a moment Yellow diamond. I just came out." Topaz said as he kept stretching his limbs
Yellow diamond stomped her foot, the sound echoing throughout the room. "I don't care, just capture them!" She ordered once more.
"Y-yes!" Topaz answered as he ran away, trying to find the two intruders.
Onyx ran as fast as he could with Steven on his back. "What're you doing here Steven?!"
"I was gonna help you! I couldn't let you die. You're family to us!" Steven yelled back.
Onyx just groaned. "Fine. Just, don't let go unless I tell you to." He said as he saw the front door.
He smiled as he went for it. But a portal suddenly appeared next to the door as Topaz came out of it.
Onyx stopped with Steven still on his back. 'You need to let me through Topaz. You don't need to follow them." Onyx pleaded.
Topaz shrugged and summoned a trident from his gem on his shoulder. "Sorry pal. But I kinda need to follow them." He answered before he charged at Onyx.
Garnet was knocked away from the blow by Jasper. She was putting up a fight this time. Amethyst then tripped Jasper with her wip and she fell down.
But Jasper spun around as Amethyst tried to hold on to the whip. Amethyst was then sent flying to a pillar, almost falling off the edge.
Jasper looked over to Lapis. She was traumatized. Before Jasper got to Lapis, she was met with a punch from Garnet. She got knocked towards the Homeworld warp pad, as some pieces flew off. Jasper struggled to get up.
Amethyst then wrapped her whip around Jasper's waist as she gripped it and tightened it up, enough to make her retreat to her gem.
Garnet came over the Jasper's gem and bubbled it. After she sent it away, they all looked at the warp pad. It was in pieces once again.
"Well, all we can do is hope that Onyx finds him and protects him." Garnet says straightforwardly as she walked back to the other warp pad.
Amethyst was surprised about Garnets words. "That's it? We're giving up just like that?!"
"We can't do anything else, Amethyst. We can just...hope." Amethyst and Lapis knew she was right. So they just followed her back to the warp pad and back to the temple.
Pearl wasn't stopping. She kept working on the drill, she wanted to finish it. She needed to.
"Do you think you should slow down?" Peridot suggested.
Pearl didn't answer. Peridot sighed. "Look. If you want to finish this thing, you need to talk!"
Pearl snapped. "Oh so now you want to talk?! As I could remember, you despise me! Why do you want to talk to a Pearl like me?!"
Peridot was surprised on her reaction. "You know what, you need to calm down. It's not like he's gonna survive out there by himself!" She recoiled.
"That's it. I'm leashing you again you little imp!" Pearl yelled back as she went over to Peridot and tried to grab her.
"Don't you dare leash me again. If you're willing to finish this for Onyx then let me help you finish it!" Peridot yelled again.
Pearl just gritted her teeth. "Fine! Just stop talking and start working on this drill."
Peridot calmed down. She grabbed her tape recorder. "Log date, 7117 , this is Peridot. Pearl is getting rather aggressive towards me. I don't know what she sees in that insolent fool, Onyx. But she's willing to sacrifice her time and energy for his, " sacrifice". End log." Peridot pressed the button again as it stopped recording.
"I heard that!" Pearl yelled.
As Onyx was still clashing with, Topaz. Steven held onto his back as hard as he could.
"Topaz. You don't wanna do this. This is stupid!" Onyx yelled at Topaz as they swiped against each other.
"I want to do whatever I want." Topaz answered vaguely.
"Is this what you want? To be a follower for the rest of your life? This is ridiculous!"
Topaz growled. "You don't know anything, Onyx! You're alone. You have no one! You're just upset because you've betrayed your kind and got them killed." Topaz said.
This only made Onyx mad. Buy Steven stepped in the conversation. "You're wrong! He's not alone. He's got us, his family!"
Onyx smiled at this and face Topaz once more. "You know that you can't beat me Onyx. You should just give up!" Topaz yelled as he threw his trident towards Onyx.
Onyx closed his eyes and didn't feel anything. He opened them back as he saw that Steven put a bubble on them. "Thanks, Steven. Pop it." He requested as Steven popped it.
Onyx quickly zoomed towards Topaz and aimed his sword on his throat. He was an inch away from touching his throat with his sword.
Topaz couldn't move. "You should stop and think twice. Before I cut you and shatter you." Onyx threatened as he stared Topaz down with a deadly gaze.
Topaz yeilded as he put his arms down without talking. "Thank you." Onyx thank him as he ran towards the outside.
They were met with lots of Peridots aiming at them. "Oh snap!" Steven said as he put up a bubble while the Peridots shot at them.
"Argh. This is bad. Steven. Pop the bubble we're gonna need it in about a minute." Onyx said as he ran towards the station where the ships were being made.
"Are you sure?" Steven asked.
"Yes do it n-" he was cut off. He got shot by a Peridot. It disintegrated his right arm clearly. Steven was in shock.
"Ah! You stupid little Peridot...Steven put it up now!" Steven shook himself out of his trance and put up another bubble.
"Gah! We need to access it manually now! Steven, roll us over to that ship right there." Onyx said as Steven just nodded and rolled over behind the ship. He saw a bomb planted on it.
"Pop the bubble, Steven." He said as Steven popped the bubble. Onyx walked over to the bomb and sighed. "Look, Steven. The reason why I didn't tell any of you to come is because this is a one way trip for me."
"What?!" Steven was shocked. "But, why?!"
"There are things that need to be done Steven! That's why I'm doing my part!" Onyx said as he walked over to the bomb. "You might want to bubble up for this." Onyx suggest.
"You can't go! I don't want you to disappear for good!" Steven said as he climbed on Onyx's leg.
"The human boy is right." A voice came from nowhere. The two looked behind them to see Topaz.
"Topaz? What do you want now?" Onyx asked the gem.
"I was thinking about what you said back there. It made me think. And I decided to do this." Topaz then spawned an escape pod around Onyx and Steven. They couldn't do anything.
"What is this?" Steven asked.
"What're you doing Topaz? When I told you to make another decision, I didn't mean this!" Onyx said as he knew what Topaz was gonna do.
Topaz chuckled. "I was there you know. I told them that it wasn't right. I tried to stop them, but I wasn't strong enough."
Onyx looked at Topaz. He never knew that he was there. Where it all happened. Where his kind got wiped.
"Yellow diamond wanted them to disappear because she knew that they were stronger than her. She was scared." Topaz kept talking. "And now, I'm trying to save the last one. This is really annoying talking to you."
Topaz chuckled. "But I'm not like you. There are more Topaz Gems out there. So I can do this." He said for the last time and stepped on a plate below the escape pod as it ejected away to space.
"Topaz!" The two Gems yelled out for the Topaz. The last thing that they saw was the station exploding. The explosion was so strong that it shook the escape pod violently, knocking both of them out cold.
Pearl and Peridot were working as hard as they could. The sun was still shining. Making it easy for the two to work.
Then came Garnet, Amethyst and Lapis. Pearl ran towards the three. "Where's Steven? Did you save him?!" Pearl asked with a worried voice.
"No." Garnet answered. Pearl felt her body go cold. "We were met by Jasper on the Homeworld warp. She was fixing it to alert homeworld that we are still here. I got the chance to bubble her, but the Homeworld warp was destroyed during our fight."
Pearl started tearing up, she then fell to her knees as she started crying.
"It's all Onyx's fault. He knew that Steven really cared about us being together, but he didn't care. He just left!" Amethyst accused Onyx.
"We can't put this on Onyx. He had a good reason to why he left." said Garnet. "Steven is willing to put his life on the line for his family. And all we can do is do the same to him."
"Pearl, I need another one of this...sewers." Peridot called out for Pearl.
Pearl stood up and handed her a box of screws. "It's called screws." She said as she sniffles.
"Whatever." Peridot continued working.
"Look. We don't know how to fix the warp pad. We just wait and see what happens. Just believe in Steven." Garnet said as she looked up at the sky.
"Ugh...what happened?" Steven asked as he groggily opened his eyes to see that they were in the escape pod. He saw that Onyx was still missing his right arm.
Steven blamed himself for it. "If I just stopped panicking and popped a bubble right away, I could've saved your arm." He said quietly.
Onyx was still sleeping. Steven looked outside the window panel to see stars. He saw that they were close to earth, and they were getting closer.
The pod wasn't really built for two people. But with the size of Stevens body. They managed.
The escape pod suddenly crashed into something, causing Onyx to wake up. "Gah! What's happening?!" He panicked.
"I think we hit something." Steven answered as he tried to see what hit them.
Onyx looked around to find the control panel, he had no luck. "I hate Peridot escape pods."
"Peridot escape pods? I know how to control it!" Steven said to the gem.
"Wait, you do?"
Steven nodded. "Yeah! I controlled one back on earth! Kinda'..."
"Well...take it away chief." Onyx said as he laid back to see what Steven was gonna do.
Steven thought of what to do for a second and then he touched the window panel and they began to go backwards. "Whoops, sorry."
He pressed two buttons as laser fired out from the pod. "Are you sure you know what you're doing?" Onyx asked the little boy.
"As I could remember..." He touched a button on his right and slid a bar on his left, then they began to go forward. "Told you I've got it." Steven said as he made a suave move and lean again the window and accidentally pressed something. "Hyperdrive activated." Said to panel.
The pod began to fall faster towards earth. "Nice move, Steven." Onyx said as he grabbed Steven and held him close. "A bubble would be nice."
Steven nodded and put up a bubble. "This has to be the day that I've popped a lot of bubbles, and it's making me hungry." Steven said as they both braced for impact.
Onyx chuckled at the boy. "I'll give you a treat when we land."
The two landed straight towards the kindergarten. Onyx came out of the pod as water came out of the pod.
"Huh. Why would he send us here?" Onyx asked as Steven rolled out of the pod.
"Hey, were you made here in the kindergarten as well?" Steven asked the gem.
"No. I was made back in homeworld. As I could remember, Amethyst was made here." He said as he pointed at the exact same hole where Amethyst came out of.
"Wait, how'd you know?" Steven was curious.
"Well, I was there when she first came out of that hole."
Steven was surprised. "You were? Cool!"
"Yeah, we were sent here to recruit Amethyst Gems for the war. When Amethyst came out, I was the one she first saw and she hung with me for a long time. We then met Rose and the others." Onyx explained to him.
"Woah. So you're like her father?" Steven was all starry eyed.
"Well...I guess you could say it like that. But whenever she started hanging out with the other Gems, she didn't really..."
Steven looked at Onyx. He looked sad, Steven didn't understand. "Didn't really what?" He asked the gem.
Onyx shook his head and scratched the back of his head. "Oh, nothing. I guess I was just spacing out. But yeah she hung out with the other Gems...we all had fun, but then Pearl and I had a thing, then I went home...and yeah..." He didn't continue since Steven already knew the rest.
"Did you know that Greg introduced me into Courting?" Onyx said as they continued to walk and tried to find the warp pad.
"Really?" Steven asked.
"Yeah, he was a real lover boy."
"How did you and my dad meet?" Steven asked the gem more questions.
"Well...since Amethyst was...busy with the other Gems. I decided to explore beach city a little more. That place you call " funland" didn't really exist at the time. But whenever I stumbled across a long haired shorty on the beach, he had a weird look on his face. First thing he told me was...
"Woah dude. Your hair is great!" Mr. universe said to the gem that was a little taller than him.
"Uh...thanks...dood." Onyx answered awkwardly.
"So, you here for my concert?" Greg asked the gem as he handed out a flyer to him. Onyx took it and looked at it.
"What's a concert?" Onyx asked, confusion on his face.
Greg was confused as well. "Well...I don't know if this is a joke, but a concert is when a person or a band plays music at any place."
"A band? Like a team?"
"Yeah, I guess you could call it that."
Onyx then saw his guitar. "Hey, I remember this thing." He said as he pointed at the guitar.
"Oh, my guitar? Yeah, its nothing special." Greg said as he borrowed his guitar to Onyx.
"Yeah, I remember this. I smashed one of these on a human once!" Onyx said with excitement as Greg quickly grabbed it away from him.
Greg cleared his throat. "My name is Mr. Universe. But you can call me, Greg." He offered his hand.
Onyx grabbed his hand and shook it. "Name's Onyx."
"Nice to meet you, Onyx! So, you still here to listen to my music?"
Onyx shrugged. "Sure music man. Let's hear it." They went towards a stage on the beach. Onyx sat on one of the chairs as Greg started to play his music.
"Woah, that was an awesome story!" Steven said as he jumped around like a little kid.
Onyx smiled, he then turned to his right side. He still didn't regenerate his arm. "What's taking so long?" He asked himself quietly.
They then finally found the warp pad. "Oh finally. Let's get back to the temple and eat!" Steven said as he jumped on the pad.
Onyx hopped on as well. "I'll make sure to cook you the best food you've ever eaten."
"Really? Aw nice!" Steven replied as they warped out of the kindergarten.
As they warped into the temple. They couldn't see anyone in the house. "Anyone home?" Steven called out. No one answered. "Huh. They must be out."
Onyx walked over to the kitchen and looked at the fridge. "Huh. You guys don't have anything to eat in here. Was it Amethyst or Pearl?" Onyx asked.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, Amethyst would eat anything. Or Pearl sometimes forget to buy food for Amethyst. O wasn't really here when Greg and Rose started dating." Onyx explained.
"Well, I guess it was Amethyst. She eats alot when she's nervous. That might be because I warped away from them to come to you."
Onyx went poker face. He knew he would die whenever the Gems came back. "Well, we need to go out and buy stuff then."
"But we don't have money." said Steven.
A knock came from the door. A clone of Onyx came in with two bags. He carried them with only one arm, since the main Onyx didn't have one aswell. "Here you go." He said as he set down the bag and merged back into Onyx.
"That was so fast! I didn't even see him go out of the house!"
"You'll see it often." Onyx said as he grabbed the bags and spread the ingredients. "Whoo, this might take a few minutes since I haven't done this for twenty years."
Steven just sat and waited in excitement.
Another knock came. "Steven!"
Steven gasped. "It's Connie!" He said as he ran towards the door and opened it to see his friend.
"Hey, Steven!" Connie greeted.
"So, how was your trip?" Steven asked as he led her to the couch.
"It was fun I guess. I've been practicing my sword skills with my mom's permission!" She then took notice of the gem that was cooking.
She went close to Stevens ear and whispered, "Is this another one of the Gems?" She asked.
"Yeah, I helped him destroy homeworld!" Steven stood proudly.
Onyx turned down the heat and walk towards the two. "Well, I guess you did help me. But that wasn't really all of Homeworld. That was only the station, which was just a dent on Homeworld defenses."
Steven slouched. "Aw what?! I thought we did it for good." He said as he slumped down on the couch.
Connie giggled whilst Onyx chuckled. "So, Steven. Care to introduce me to your friend here?" said Onyx.
"Oh right. Connie this is Onyx. Onyx this is Connie, my best friend."
"Nice to meet you, Onyx!" Connie greeted as she offered him her hand.
"And to you as well, Connie." He shook her hand.
A portal then came into the room and came out Lion. "Lion! We're you worried about me?" Steven said as he made a sweet face.
Lion stared at him for a few seconds and then licked his face. Steven laughed as he was being tickled. "Stop, you're tickling me!"
Onyx and Connie laughed at this. Lion then came to Stevens bed and laid down. "Lion! Ugh, fine. I'll let you sleep there for this day only."
"It's ready Steven!" Onyx said as he handed him a bowl of soup.
"Smells delicious!" Steven said as he inhaled the scent of the soup.
Onyx gave one to Connie as well. "Thank you sir."
Onyx took his own bowl and put it on the countertop then took a sip. "Ah, I missed this." He said as he continued to take sips.
"This tastes amazing! What do you call this?" Steven asked as he almost shove his face in the bowl.
"Well, Greg and I call it, The Universe Soup. Sounds pretty generic, but the name stuck and that's what it's called." Onyx explained to the boy.
"I think it's sound awesome." Steven said as he counties to eat his soup.
"Yeah, I haven't eaten anything this incredible." Connie agreed.
Onyx chuckled and continued to sip his soup.
The question then came into Stevens mind. "Um...Onyx. When will your arm go back?"
Onyx wasn't really sure what was taking so long for it to grow back. "I'm not sure, Steven. It hasn't took this long to grow back. But it doesn't really bother me."
"Isn't it hard to have only one hand?" Connie asked.
"Well, its not that hard. But it gets pretty difficult whenever you get your hands full." Onyx joked.
Steven laughed. "Hand joke!"
The three laughed as they continued eating.
After they were done eating. Onyx took the bowls and started washing them.
"If you were part of the Crystal Gems in the past. Don't you have a room in the temple too?" Steven asked curiously.
"Nah. I mostly sleep outside the temple or sometimes inside Pearls room. She would always freak out knowing I hang around in her room." Onyx answered the boy.
"Aw...it would've been cool to see your room." Steven said in disappointment.
Connie was looking at her phone. "Well, Steven. My dad is waiting for me in town. I'll see you tomorrow!" She said as she waved goodbye.
"Alright, goodbye!" He waved back. Connie then closed the door and left.
The Crystal Gems were walking back to the beach house. None of them spoke. Not until they saw Connie walking away from the beach. Connie waved at them and came closer.
"Hey guys. What's going on?" She asks. She saw that their faces were all depressed, except for Peridot. She was just tired.
Pearl came close to her and knelt down to her eye level. "Connie. What are you doing here?" She asks.
"Just went to go visit, Steven. That Onyx guy is awesome!"
All of the Gems, except for Peridot were shocked. "What?!" They all froze.
Connie was confused. "Well...I'll go now. Bye!" She said as she ran towards town.
The Gems quickly ran to the beach house. Peridot lagged behind.
Amethyst came back and grabbed her. "Don't waste time, Peridot!"
Pearl bursted through the door, only to find Lion licking a bowl of soup. Pearl came closer. "Is that-..."
Garnet nodded. "The Universe Soup. They're back." She said with a smile.
A pink gem glowed on the temple door and it opened to show Steven and Onyx. "And then I was so confused! I thought I was gonna die in there!" Steven told Onyx the story where he had gotten stuck inside Rose's room. "Oh hey guys!"
Pearl immediately ran towards Steven and hugged him. "Oh, Steven! I thought you weren't coming back!"
"Well, someone had to help Onyx. It was easy!" Steven said with pride.
Onyx huffed. "Steven, getting my arm disintegrated is not a sign of "easy"."
Pearl then came to Onyx's side. "What happened to you two? We're you hurt at all?!" She said, full of concern.
"What? This? This doesn't hurt." He then received a slap on his face.
"Why would you do that?! You made us all worried and with Steven with you, we couldn't do anything to help you two." Pearl yelled at Onyx.
Steven was about to defend Onyx, but was stopped by Amethyst. She then pulled him out of the house, so that he wouldn't have to listen to the arguments.
Peridot just went straight into the bathroom. Lapis and Garnet stood there watching the two argue.
"I had to do it. If I wasn't to do it, then who would? If no one did it then we would all be in danger." Onyx argued.
"I told you that we would do it together!" Pearl recoiled.
"I don't want you all to get hurt!"
"Just don't go on your own to sacrifice yourself for us. We can help!" Pearl wasn't giving up. She wanted him to understand.
"YOU'D DO IT FOR ROSE!" Onyx yelled. Pearl felt her entire world go down. She had no reply.
Lapis and Garnet were surprised by his sudden outburst. Onyx stomped away from the them and left the house.
Garnet put a hand on Pearls shoulder. "I think you need to calm down and apologize to him."
Pearl was still frozen. Was she this reckless whenever she tried to protect or do anything for Rose? Now she knew what Onyx felt years ago.
Lapis didn't know what to do. She was happy that he and Steven are back. But the outcome of what just happened made her think. She wouldn't wanna make things worse. So she just knocked on the bathroom door. "What?!" Peridot answered as she opened the door. "Oh, its you." She then opened the door for Lapis.
Garnet walked off into the temple door to check on the basement. Pearl was still standing there.
She was still shocked. She decided to leave the house and find Onyx.
Steven and Amethyst were on a bench eating fry bits. Amethyst sighed. "It happened again."
"What happened?" Steven asked as he stuffed his face with fries.
"Well, whenever those two fight. They sometimes cool down and forgive each other. But sometimes, things go bad, very bad." Amethyst explained.
"What do you mean?"
"Sometimes, whenever they start fighting, they won't stop until one of them breaks. The one of them drops the bomb on the other." Amethyst explained again.
"By the way. Onyx told me that he was there when you came out of the kindergarten!" Steven said with a huge smile.
"Oh, yeah. He's my father figure. The first thing we saw whenever he carried me out of that mess was a family of stray dogs. I came close to the dogs and acted like one for a few years. It was awesome!" Amethyst told Steven.
"But then, whenever we met Rose and the others. She said that we couldn't trust Onyx, even thought he and I escaped from kindergarten with no permission. Your mom didn't really trust alot of Gems outside earth. She only trusted the ones that came with her and the ones that are made from earth."
Steven nodded. "I'd do the same thing. But, we've met a lot of friendly Gems!"
"Yeah, but that's because we threaten them and they become attached to us."
They both laughed and continued to eat fries.
Onyx sat on top of the hill just behind the lighthouse. He didn't really want to yell at Pearl like that.
He just didn't know how to end the argument. He sighed and looked over to his right side. His arm was still gone.
"Can things get any worse?" He asked himself as he laid back.
He closed his eyes since the sun was shining brightly. Suddenly, it went dark as he felt something was blocking the sun from his face.
He opened his eyes to see Lion. He sat up and looked at the link animal. "What is it Lion?"
Lion then growled as he pushed a bowl towards Onyx. Onyx sighed. "I'll give you some more later. I'm trying to think stuff through." He said to Lion.
Lion just grabbed the bowl with his mouth and walked away.
Pearl then walked up. She saw Lion walking towards her. She petted him as he continued to walk away.
She saw Onyx laying down, looking relaxed. She cleared her throat. He didn't move.
She rolled her eyes and walked over to him and say beside him.
They only heard the water and the wind.
"I'm sorry." Pearl was surprised. She should've been saying this.
"I couldn't control my anger. Sorry that I brought her up." He apologized.
Pearl sighed. "Well...we're both in fault. I didn't mean to anger you so much."
Onyx sat up. "Why do we always fight?"
Pearl shrugged. "Maybe its because we need to."
"No, why do WE fight. I never want to fight you. Even vocally."
"I know. Even with Rose gone, we still do the same thing." She then faced Onyx. She put a hand on his shoulder. "But seriously Onyx. I'm here for you. We're all here for you. You don't need to be as independent as you were when you were last here."
Onyx sighed. "I hate it when you're right."
Pearl then looked at his missing arm. "I'm just really sorry for holding problems from the past. I just miss Rose. But my priority now is, Steven."
Onyx held her face. "Don't blame it all on yourself. It's my fault as well. Just...don't talk about the bad side of our past anymore. The past doesn't exist anymore."
Pearl was tearing up. She lowered her face. Onyx was confused. "What is it?"
"I just...wanted to say that. I-I still lo-love you!" She confessed.
Onyx was warn inside, but it died fast. "What? Why?"
"What do you mean why? I can't hold it in anymore. Ever since you came back, I've been acting weird. And I know what it is. It's my feelings for you..."
Onyx didn't know what to do. "You know that I can't love...It'll be bad...I'm a signal for disaster."
"I don't care. We can all help you." She said as she cried in his chest.
"Well...I'll think about it." Onyx wasn't sure what to do. He was thinking of two. He couldn't just pick one immediately.
Pearl lifted herself from his chest and looked at Onyx's eyes. She then smacked her lips on his. He just followed her lead.
They then ended up laying down on the ground. Onyx stopped for awhile as he looked at Pearl.
She looked directed into his eyes. He found something in her eyes...a light. A glimmer of hope. He decided to go for it and just continued what she started.
They stayed there for almost two minutes. They decided to lay there for a while, just killing time together, laying down, relaxing.
Onyx still wasn't sure. He still didn't want to get into the same business he did back when Rose was there.
But he saw hope. For this world, and his family.
But not for him...
This is getting interesting for me. Not for a lot of people. I think only three people read this. If so, or not, I love all of you!
Just posting this chapter since School starts again. Weekends are gone.
So hope I get another chapter up fast.
Bye!
