Chapter 3:

As soon as the pair leave step off the front porch of their house Edward summoned his weapon into his right hand then let go of it and in a flash of light it transformed into his glider then he got on it with Omni driving it to a nearby clearing in the area of their house. They did this while they chased this corrupted gem there so they could subdue it and also keeping it from heading towards Beach City where it could possibly harm someone.

What these two failed to realize notice was that a old van the one that Greg Universe drive's/lives in with him driving and the gems along with the kids who were sitting in back following them after witnessing the bright light Edward's weapon caused. They saw this happen in front of his home and then seeing him/ Edward driving away chasing after a corrupted gem it looked similar to a large bull but even bigger with red eyes also it had the body that resembles a skeleton.

After making it to the clearing Edward trapped the corrupted gem in a barrier encircling him, and Omni in it with his weapon keeping it from leaving . Edward said in a commanding voice " Omni I want you to cloak and up high making sure we don't anymore surprises and ill try think of a way to take it down without harming it " Right Omni said in a determined voice.

Edward tried thinking of way to not cause any pain to the gem as he was the corrupted gem charged him and he dodged and kept dodging and blocking. Out of nowhere the gems and Steven and Connie caught up with Edward and saw he was fighting that corrupted gem alone this made Steven say " Pearl, Garnet, Amethyst we need to help him before he gets hurt he said frantically urging the other Crystal Gems to take action.

They take head to Steven's words and try to run to his aid but are stopped by an invisible barrier after they walked into it the barrier flashed momentarily revealing itself. Amethyst fell back unto the ground with a " ouch! " and Pearl was flabbergasted at what this wall was so she went to check on Amethyst while Garnet just stood there next to it and a hand onto it just gazing at it. They were helpless and unable to do anything but watch as the battle unfolded but as they watched all they saw Edward do was something unexpected to all of them.

After Edward dodged a attack from the corrupted gem and said Omni toss me my guitar. " But " was all Omni managed to say before Edward interrupted by saying " please Omni I need you trust me with a sincere look and after quickly pondering it over Omni took his guitar out of his inventory and gave it to him as Edward received the instrument he thought he heard a small voice that resembled his moms voice and it said " always play from the heart " and then it was gone.

That's when Edward realized what he had to do to save this poor gem it was a song to help calm the heart. He took a deep breath and started to play his guitar and the gem charged him and hit him sending him flying into a random boulder he fought through the pain and got up again but for some reason the gem didn't attack right away as he started playing again " Toro I am humble for tonight I understand your royal blood was never meant to decorate the sand, You've suffered great injustice so have thousands before you I offer an apology and one long over due…. ,( as it charged one last time before stopping short on purpose and then listen to his song ) I am sorry Toro I am sorry hear my song you know I sing the truth, Although we were bread to fight I reach for kindness in your heart tonight…. ( then it raised a leg to hit him but missed just short of hitting as he continued ) And if you can forgive and if you can forgive love can truly live , and if you can forgive and if you can forgive love can truly live, Toro I am frightened but ill use my final breath to tell you that im sorry let us end this dance of death…., two centuries of agony that to your heart we sent here and now with my amends…. The senseless killing ends…., I am sorry Toro I am sorry hear my song you know I sing the truth, although we were bread to fight I reach for kindness in your heart tonight…., and if you can forgive and if you can forgive love can truly live , and if you can forgive and if you can forgive love can truly live…., ( then the corrupted gem out of nowhere knelt down in front of Edward who reached a hand out to comfort the corrupted gem as he continued ) and if you can forgive and if you can forgive love…. Love can truly live…. (End)

And then the corrupted gem poofed out of nowhere as it closed it's eyes it's gem landed in Edward's hand he then bubbled it then sent it away. After that Edward fell unconscious and collapsed gripping his guitar in a unbreakable grip and his barrier came down not before Omni while invisible hid in his sweater. Then Crystal Gems suddenly saw how Edward the anomaly went up against a corrupted gem and beat without causing harm to it which shocked them because he only used a guitar and played some music. After that Steven, Connie, and the gems rushed down to Edward to make sure that he was ok and they noticed that he was injured and so they decided to bring him back to the temple to help him get better.

As Garnet carried him in her arms they all headed to Greg's van where the gems and Steven both noticed his guitar which instantly caught Steven's but what caught Connie's and Amethyst, Pearl and Garnet's attention was that he was wearing a small looking necklace around his neck. Amethyst said what is that weird necklace thing he's wearing? It's called a locket they normally carry a family photo or something Connie said. I see some writing on it which says " May my heart be my guiding key " Pearl says. Then Garnet gently opens the locket around his neck revealing a picture of a man standing alongside a gem around the same size as Rose they presumed the thing that weirded the gems out was that none of them had any sort of clue who or what kind of gem she was but seemed some sort of connection with this boy. Garnet simply told everyone with a finger in front of her lips " shush " then said I get that everyone has question to ask but that can wait until he recovers back at the temple.

After the long drive back they got out of Greg's van Garnet carefully caries Edward out and bring's him up to the porch with everyone in close proximity. Next Steven opens the door for Garnet then she thanks him then she walks over to couch and gently places him on it. Steven then attempt's to heal him right as he is about to use his healing spit and then heals Edward started slowly opening his eyes and sat up panicking saying " Omni? Omni where are you? Sound off buddy then Omni finally uncloaked and revealed himself to everyone more importantly to Edward Jumped off the couch and ran to Omni and hugged him saying with tears running down his face " Your ok I thought I lost you never scare me like that again ok? ( I promise ) was all Omni managed to get out then Edward wiped away his tears.

Woah! What or who is that? they all said in unison " his name is Omni and he is my best friend plus I created him I guess since you helped us I don't think it would hurt to share a little info but that goes both ways also I have to console with my friend to see if it's ok to tell you anything sorry. The Crystal Gems nodded and agreed to his terms and so they walked to the far side of the temple where the door to there rooms was located.

While Edward and Omni decided on what they should tell the crystal gems about atleast until they earn our trust so " what do you think we should tell them? Well if it's ok with you I think we maybe tell them a tiny bit about your parents and nothing else for now what do you think? Edward huffed in annoyance after realizing that Omni was probably right. And so the pair told the gems they were ready to speak with them and answer/ ask questions and they started to walk over while Edward said to himself in his head " here we go ".
