Only Fuse with You
NOTES: This chapter could've gone through so many scenarios but decided to stick with this one. Simple of explaining things. This chapter will contain mild swearing. (I'm actually doing quite well as normally I go full-brown with strong language).
Lapis was still asleep but she smiled as she replayed her time with Peridot through her dreams…the thought of Peridot made her feel around with her hand but this caused her to wake up, as her hand felt an empty space where Peridot was lying next to her. She sat up, keeping the grey blanket close to her. Where was Peridot? Lapis looked around the barn.
LAPIS: Peridot…?
There was no response but she noticed that Peridot's clothing was gone, all that was left was hers. She got up and proceeded to put her clothes back on. Maybe Peridot went out for a walk, she thought to herself. It didn't take long for Lapis to get changed and then headed for the barn door.
The barn door creaked as she opened it and the sun rays burst in causing Lapis to be blinded for a while but her vision came back in no time…still, Peridot was nowhere to be seen. Lapis felt a little hurt that Peridot didn't say anything, she wouldn't have minded if it meant waking her up…maybe the event last night was the reason…but why, it was something they both wanted and both enjoyed. Lapis didn't want to go to far in case Peridot would come back but wasn't sure how long this would take…though the quicker way of finding her love was to fly in the air and get a good view, she couldn't have gotten far. Lapis decided this was the best way and then produced her wings from her gem, the water substance making a beautiful wings and started to flap, she raised from the ground and was quickly in the air.
While in the air, Lapis remembered the talk that she had with Steven about seeing the planet and places to possibly live…maybe Peridot would like that, a place to settle, a place to make their own. She had to find her first but it seemed like a good idea. The view was spectacular, full of green and slight orange on some of the trees…but with her fantastic view, she couldn't see Peridot…then again her green appearance could be disguised through the nature of the planet. Lots of green and yet Lapis smiled even more, each green of different shades reminding her of Peridot.
Just then, she saw two dots down below, she flew down a little closer to get a better look and noticed it was Peridot with Garnet. It was obvious they were talking and she decided to descend a little to hear what they were saying but just then…she heard a roar, a roar of thunder coming from the skies. Lapis turned around to see the clouds grey and fierce, moving violently….and within a few seconds, a bizarre yellow craft came through. Lapis gasped at the sight…she knew full well, who's ship that belonged to. Yellow Diamond.
LAPIS: No…
Lapis was about to descend and hide but the jaggered diamond filled ship shot out a beam of light, white at first, like it was a spot light…Lapis flew towards to ship and noticed it was aiming at the barn. But why there…? No one was in it…and within seconds, not finishing her thoughts, the ship shot out a yellow light, impacting on the barn and causing a explosion, the barn seemed to puff out before becoming a huge fire ball and causing the mushroom-like explosion and the smoke quickly appearing into the sky. This caused Lapis to lose concentration and lose her flight but she quickly gained her momentum of flight… she saw the barn nothing but burning rubble. She then heard a scream from down below and saw Peridot running towards the once-stood barn, with Garnet running after her and quickly scooping her up with seconds. Lapis gasped…and straight away headed where Peridot and Garnet were going.
The black smoke was billowing even thicker into the air as they got close.
As they got over a ridge of a hill, they could see the barn was in ruins, the whole place was nothing but wooden rubble and blazing fire, dancing all over of what it could burn into ashes. The barn was no more…nothing left was standing. Peridot was struggling in Garnet's arms, trying to get loose.
PERIDOT: LAPIS!
GARNET:No. I didn't see this…I…I didn't see this…not this soon…
PERIDOT: OH GOD, LAPIS! NOOOO!
Garnet was holding onto Peridot as tight as she could to prevent her from running to the burning barn but was surprised by Peridots determination and strength to try and get out of Garnet's grasps.
GARNET: Peridot, please! I'm sorry, she's…
PERIDOT: NO! GET OFF ME!
Peridot swung an elbow into Garnet's visor, knocking it off, to Garnet's surprise again…and dropping Peridot, who didn't hesitate to run towards the practically gone barn. Garnet quickly picked up her visor and went after Peridot, who kept on screaming as loud as she could.
PERIDOT: LAPIS! NOO! OH GOD, MY LAPIS!
Just then, a beam of yellow light, pierced through the clouds…and then shot a white light towards the burning barn and caused another explosion, this time pushing Peridot off her feet, making her fly in the air but Garnet, with perfect timing, caught her. Peridot coughed…but then gasped as her and Garnet looked up in the sky…to see a jaggered shaped spacecraft, in the shape of diamonds that were pretty much surrounding the whole ship as it was ripping through the clouds.
Yellow diamonds…
PERIDOT: YOU BASTARDS!
Peridot then cried into Garnets shoulders, Garnet looked up and gritted her teeth.
Lapis landed gently on her feet and her watered wings sucked back into her gem. She started running towards Peridot and Garnet.
LAPIS: PERIDOT!
Peridot lifted her head from Garnet's shoulders due to the familiar and beautiful voice. Garnet turned around, also reacting to the shouting…both getting a better look but it was Peridot who was surprised the most and jumped out of Garnet's arms. Garnet was puzzled and yet happy that Lapis was fine but no more than Peridot.
Peridot ran towards Lapis.
PERIDOT: LAPIS!
Lapis started laughing and she made herself run even faster towards Peridot and then she stretched out her arms as Peridot jumped towards her, catching the little green gem and falling over backwards, landing on the soft grass and eventually rolled around. That laughed and giggled, so happy to see each other…Peridot was cry with tears of joy and looked into Lapis's eyes as Peridot was on top.
PERIDOT: I…I thought…I lost you…
LAPIS: No, never!
PERIDOT: (Wipes away some tears but more form) Oh God, Lapis, I had a terrible thought.
LAPIS: Not anymore you don't. I'm okay.
PERIDOT: I…I wish I didn't…l-leave you…
LAPIS: Why did you…?
PERIDOT: (Chuckles) I just…wanted to tell the whole world how happy I was being with you. (Lapis blushed) I love you, Lapis. I love you.
LAPIS: (Blushes as well) Oh, my Peridot…
They embraced into a kiss like they've been apart for a long time when really it was only a matter of long minutes. They both accessed each other's mouths, tasting each other…but Garnet coughed, making an interrupting sound…they both stopped, both blushing wildly.
GARNET: Sorry to break up the party, guys, but we have a problem. (Points to the diamond ship)
Meanwhile.
On the diamond ship. A lime, near yellow Peridot was driving the ship. Satisfied of blowing up the barn until a yellow Pearl entered the control room, seeing what actions have been caused.
YELLOW PEARL: Report.
LIME PERIDOT: The wooden structure has been destroyed!
YELLOW PEARL: And?
LIME PERIDOT: No sign of life!
YELLOW PEARL: Was she in there, the Peridot we're after?!
LIME PERIDOT: I believe so.
YELLOW PEARL: (Not impressed) You…believe so…?
LIME PERIDOT: Well, her limb enhancers have a tracking devise on them. I am sure she has been destroyed. No one can survive the diamond blast!
YELLOW PEARL: Have you surveyed the area?
LIME PERIDOT: Well…uh…n-no! But…she couldn't…
YELLOW PEARL: Well, if I were you, I would check the area. For all we know the Peridot might have escaped! (Smiles) You are useless!
LIME PERIDOT: Why don't you get back to your post, PEARL! Your nothing but a servant! Don't tell me how to do my job!
YELLOW PEARL: (Angry) Well, I-
VOICE: Why have we not landed?
Both the Lime Peridot and Yellow Pearl were startled at the voice behind them, almost coming to a salute halt and turn around to see that Yellow diamond was walking towards them.
YELLOW PEARL: (Slight bow) My Diamond.
The huge diamond pushes pass the yellow Pearl and stares calmly and yet disappointingly at the lime Peridot. The lime gem shakes a little and tries to keep her cool.
YELLOW DIAMOND: Why haven't we landed yet?
LIME PERIDOT: Uh…w-well, my diamond, as I was just explaining that I tracked down the Peridot we we're after because of her limb enhancers having a tracking devise in them and took action by destroying her hiding place and hopefully herself…
YELLOW DIAMOND: You…shot at that structure?
LIME PERIDOT: Yes, my diamond.
YELLOW DIMAOND: Even though…my orders were to bring Peridot in alive…?
LIME PERIDOT: Um...uh…a-alive?
YELLOW DIAMOND: Those were my orders. (Frowns angrily) Were they not?
LIME PERIDOT: Uh…
YELLOW DIAMOND: WERE THEY NOT MY ORDERS? TO BRING IN THAT PERIDOT ALIVE, SO I COULD CRUSH HER MYSELF!
LIME PERIDOT: Oh, m-my diamond. I…I may have-ACK
Yellow Diamond picks up the helpless lime Peridot with ease, her huge hand pretty much covering the whole of the lime gem. The lime Peridot started to panic as Yellow diamond started to squeeze the gem.
YELLOW DIAMOND: You FOOL! You disobeyed me!
LIME PERDIOT: (Panicking) No, no, please my diamond, I just-
YELLOW DIAMOND: I will take deep pleasure in doing this! (Starts to squeeze the gem tighter)
LIME PERIDOT: No, NO! HAVE MERCY, MY DIAMON-ACK!
Yellow diamond squeezed the lime Peridot with ease, as her body cracked…the crack making its way over her neck and face, the crack becomes branch like and splits over her eyes, making her blind, her scream was nothing but disoriented and shattered sounds…and Yellow diamond kept squeezing, as the lime Peridot was lifeless and shattered into millions of pieces…the yellow diamond opened her hand and dropped the broken gem bits onto the floor…the lime Peridot was unrecognizable. The yellow Pearl had watched with delight and satisfaction to what happened to the lime Peridot…she knew the Peridot wouldn't come back as the yellow diamond had the power to shatter and kill and not make gems poof away into their stones. Yellow diamond ordered another Peridot to take over.
YELLOW DIAMOND: Survey the area. Let no stone be untouched!
YELLOW PEARL: Yes, my diamond.
Yellow diamond was about to leave the control room but something caught her eye out of the window. Three dot like figures were down below on the surface. She looked out the window for a better look. Her eye sight was at its greatest as she could see Peridot, Lapis and Garnet just looking up at the ship.
YELLOW DIAMOND: That's…that's the Peridot! It's her. Traitor to homeworld! (Looks at Lapis) Wait, is that…a Lapis? The Lapis who was with Jasper and the traitor? What are they doing?
YELLOW PEARL: (Looks out the window) It looks like they're…(Gasps) Oh my…it…it appears they are holding hands, my diamond…
YELLOW DIAMOND: (Frowns) Disgusting! I want them both! ALIVE! Destroy the other one. (Smiles) Hmm, if those two traitors like each other, then destroying them will become even more satisfying. I'll make that Peridot suffer first by killing Lapis in front of her!
