"get away from my Connie"
THE GALAXY WARP , UNKNOWN POV
"Typical" a hooded figure said, kicking away the rubble of what used to be the home world warp " well I've been able to deal with much worse." They went to the glowing stand and their gem shined in a bright light , rebuilding the pad. Then the figure removed the hood of their cloak , then activated their communicator, and said " the warp is fixed" instantly a reply of " When are you returning ?" appeared , all the masked beast did was laugh and say " bring the cutters"
BEACH CITY , Obsidian POV
it's been a couple months since the malachite attack, and I can honestly say all the changes are for the better, with Lapiz around I remember what the whole point was of me heading back up to the mountains, to train so that when I come back, nothing will stand in my way.
We were in the sky arena, Connie and Steven were practicing their team up attacks( my personal favorite is the shield jump ) while pearl was helping me with using my staff, "your relying to much on your knives" she said , I was going to argue but then realized that she was right. So here we are, I am now currently spinning my staff to block all of Pearls attacks, I was about to go in for a stab when Lapis showed up and said " Obi , there's something going on at the arcade" , threw my staff down and whined " your calling me Obi too?, ugh whatever " I said while we headed towards the warp pad .
THE TEMPLE
The first thing I noticed was the clock " 6:30 , we should get Connie home" Steven looked and me and said " whyyyy" I kneeled down and whispered " there are things in life you do not need to go through, pissing off a girls parents is one of them" he looked at me and was about to say something when I interrupted and said " I'll take Connie home, you guys find out whats going on" the others nodded and headed out, Steven giving Connie a hug before he left
20 MINUTES LATER
As I was walking Connie home she kept asking questions about what my weapons were . I said she would have to wait and see, because , (with the exception of my staff) my weapons are all randomized every time I reform, I get them eventually but there's no telling when , "my knives for example " I mentioned " when I got them I was already in that form for about 5 years, this time , I got it in a month, so who knows ? I've gotten seemingly random weapon choices for all my transformations in all 50 years I've been a polished gem". We were heading towards Connie's driveway when I heard a shout and Connie said "DAD" , we ran inside and what we saw chilled me to the bone " a gem"
The gem was about 7 ft tall , male, with the broad shoulders and stance of a warrior, actually scratch that, a killer , what tipped me off though was the large red gem as its left eye . Below it was Mr and Mrs Maheswaran, both with several large cuts on their body, both holding each other with their eyes closed, waiting for the end . The gem looked at us and formed a large mace and swung it yelling " WHO ARE YOU" , I managed to push Connie out of the way, which left me to take the blunt of the blow , straight into the ground " well hello to you too , name's ... Josh, and you would be?" I say , struggling to say my original name, and getting my staff out, better to not let this thing know my "new "name, just in case I told myself, Connie ran to me and said " you alright ?" I looked at her and muttered "get them out of here, I'll cover for you" understanding immediately, she ran to her parents and helped them up ,
"I AM ANDESiNE" it said and struck again , this time I was able to dodge it , and was abotu to get out my knives when I thought I don't wanna get Connie or her parents in the crossfire and gto my staff back out and immediately had to block one of Andesine swings. out of the corner of my eye I see Connie helping Mr. Maheswaran up the stairs, while the waiting at the top with a first aid kit . I yell to Connie " GET THE GEMS, THE ARCADE WAS A DECOY." She nodded and hurried her efforts, calling Steven as soon as was up , when she got the response, she gasped and said " THERE'S A GEM THERE TOO" I was abotu say something when ol' and hit me with a thrusting motion (no that is not a joke for the internet to enjoy) and sent me sprawling on the floor, smashing the beneath me and forming a small crater "OBi" Connie yells as I'm sent flying and eventually , eating the dirt . and I was buried literally, 6 ft under, actually more like 60 ft under .
ANDESINE POV (ACT LiKE IT'S THE PURGE, DON'T QUESTiON iT)
(I'm gonna try something here, I'll explain it later but for now just bear with me )
Andesine swung his mace around and it disappeared, he then headed towards the group of gemless beings at the top of the stairs , a smaller figure, possibly their henchmen, grabbed a large pink blade from some sort of ceramic casing, and unsheathed it, making a SWOOSHiNG noise as the blade was released from is sheath , the being held itself with the poise of a mighty warrior , and as Andesine charged and attacked, the warrior was equally skilled if not superior parrying all of Andesine blows and striking with skill far past that of its years, and started to sing
Keep my stance wide,
Keep my body lowered,
As my moving forward
Bal-ance is the key
Right foot; left foot,
Now go even faster
And as I'm moving backwards
Keep my eyes on him
Deep down I know
That I'm just a human
But I know that I can draw my sword and fight!
CONNIE POV
As the singing concluded, Andesine came down for an overhead swing , and the I was too late to counter. The sword was sent flying otu of my hand and as the powerful gem , with the strength of the Black Knight from book 4 of the unfamiliar familiar ( no that's not a thing in the actual canon ,to my knowledge I just thought it would make sense in a fantasy book) swung his blade sorry Steven , I wasn't able to protect you I thought as the inevitable came down upon me .
SMACK the mace went smacked aside by some sort of battle ax, it was about 6 ft long and was more like a pole arm than an axe, its blade was a black coloration and with a large gem in the center, however what surprised me was not the axe itself, but the arm connected to it , which led to "OBSIDIAN!"
OBI POV
"Ande " I started as he went for his mace" that was very mean you gave me a splinter" I said as I grabbed a large plank of wood and threw it at him " now lets play fair" I said swinging Svengal (the ax name, and in case you're wondering , my knives don't have a name yet and my staff's name is grayson) around in an upwards arc,and came to meet with his attack from the side, Andesine may have a power advantage, but I have the speed and the advantage of 50+ years of experience playing offensive, that this gem clearly doesn't have when it comes to defensive.
"We're all good up here, " Connie yelled to me good now let's get this over with I thought and went into an all out barrage of strikes, fast ,deadly, and most of all , unpredictable . Andesine couldn't counter them all and once one hit its' mark , he stumbled and the rest of my swings pretty much beat the crap out of him. "C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER " I shouted as he was sent flying into the wall , and as he was getting up , I summoned my staff at smacked him in the face, launching the eye gem out of its " socket." As soon as he poofed , I bubbled him and ran up the, told Connie to stay put while I checked on the other gems .
THE ARCADE
I could tell the fight was over when I saw Steven bubbling a blue gem. As I ran into the arcade Pearl looked at me and shouted " WHERE WERE YOU" I quickly told her what had happened and Steven piped up and said " is Connie ok?" I nodded yes and said "Pearl's been training her good, and as for me", I smiled a little , I think I can wait a little before I show them Svengal. " Connie might not be able to come over for a little while,ya know taking care of her parents while they recover" Steven nodded and said in a tone that kinda scared me from the pure seriousness of it "well, at least we stopped any more casualties"
well it's good to be back , and in regards to the Andesine POV and how it was worded, I got inspiration for that form an assignment in my history class, the project was to take 4 objects and describe them as if you were an archaeologist from 500 years in the future,
ALSO CONTEST TO SEE WHO CAN FIGURE OUT THE REFERENCES I MADE WITH THE NAME OF THE WEAPONS
so with that out of way, this is the master of malor , and may the power flow through you
