A crystal Rising Chapter 7
It was another beautiful Day on the planet earth, the sun was shining, the birds where chirping and Onyx crashed hard into a mountain.
Wait what?
We see Blood onyx getting dislodged from the large rock leaving an imprint of himself on the side of the mountain as he glares at the thing responsible for throwing him "I still wonder what compelled me to think that a defective war machine like you could aid me in my mission here" he said looking a the gem weapon before him.
It was a giant crab creature with a large green gem on it's protective shell of a head, it body was blue except for the green protective shelling covering parts of the crabs body leaving the exposed and weaker blue parts of the crab.
It glared at Onyx with its red bud like eyes and snapped it's raised claws in sign of hostility and a challenge "your more trouble than your worth" onyx said as his weapon appear in his hands "I'll put you out of your misery" the creature recognising the threat to its existence raised its clawed arms in the air before the plates covering it's mouth opened revealing razor-sharp teeth as the giant crystal crab let out a monstrous roar.
It then thrusted it's armoured claw at onyx striking the ground he stood on creating a large dust cloud before rearing it arm back and watching as the cloud dissipated to reveal a large crater where onyx stood.
It suddenly let a pained shriek before looking at its arm to find Onyx standing on its claw with his double bladed sword impaled into armoured limb "pathetic I expected better from a home world weapon" he said jumping just in time as another claw swiped at him.
He maneuverer himself in mid-air holding his weapon high above him before he dropped back to the ground and sliced the exposed claw off causing the giant crab to roar in Pain and stomp wildly with its multiple legs.
Onyx was standing in front of the home world weapon before rearing his weapon back and sprinting towards the right side row of legs and attacked them, slicing off each of the right legs off before jumping back as the crab dropped to its side wildly swinging its remaining limbs.
Onyx stare at the shrieking creature with an impassive look on his face, the large crab opened its mouth spewed forth acid at Onyx but again Onyx jump high in the air avoiding the blast of acid.
He then dives head first towards the Large crabs shell covered head, impacting against its hard shell as it's slammed against the ground creating another larger cloud of thick dust that covered it from view.
When the cloud dissipated it reveal Onyx holding his impaled weapon in the crabs Gem, the Creature barely moved before the gem slowly cracked and then exploding in a shower of shards destroying the crabs form as it gave out one last shriek leaving Onyx standing in a crab sharped crater.
The Male gem sigh at another failed attempt at improving his current situation on being stranded on the doomed planet with no way of contacting home world to call for reinforcements to aid them "two weeks" he said to himself "two weeks in this planets rotation cycle since I've been stranded on this time bomb of a planet"
"my ship is destroyed, no doubt caused by Rose quartz and her rebels" like many warrior gems he held respect for the rebel leader who lead many of her army's onto successful battles and defeated many of home worlds champions sent against her only to be defeated by her in one on one combat or against all odds and yet she still manage to come out on top until he came gave Home world and it's gems their spirits back.
"my crew is scatter and I'm trapped on a time bomb ready to go off" the fear of failing to defeat the rebel leaders and failing to complete his mission outweighed the fear of death.
"What am I to do?"
-with the crystal gems-
The other gems on the planet were working tirelessly to find any trace of the last two home world gems leaving Steven and the born Gem jewel to themselves much to their displeasure as they don't get to spend as much time with them as they once did.
One such person was Steven Universe the son of Rose quartz; though he is just a child with the mentality of one but he was still well aware of the danger's that home world gems presents to Earth so he stayed out of their way, but that still didn't stop him from trying to ease their worries.
"Sorry Steven another time" Pearl told the little boy as she walked off the warp pad from another unsuccessful search.
"But you said that yesterday and the day before that" Steven argued before the warp pad activated again revealing Garnet and Amethyst.
"Steven we can't rest until the threat of Onyx and paradot has been dealt with" Garnet the cool headed member of the group said to the son of their leader.
"But you can't keep going at it like this! What happens when you do find him? What will you do? Take him on all by your selves after searching endlessly for him! Do you even have a plan on how to defeat him?" he asked having heard the story about the unstoppable Gem known as Onyx.
"Steven" pearl spoke softly to him kneeling down to his level "you must understand that while Onyx continues to roam free on the planet no one is safe, not you, not Jewel not even the humans who call this planet home".
"But you've been searching for him for two weeks straight only taking short breaks and when you do find him you'll be too exhausted to stand against him".
The taller gem sighed at his valid argument as she was beginning to feel the fatigue from non-stop searching "he's right, we can't battle him in our current state once we find him".
"But garnet if we stop he'll slip past us" Pearl warned.
"But its like Steven said if we do find him how do we plan on beating him" Amethyst interjected into the conversation "from how you've described this dude, he seems to be indestructible ".
"It's not indestructible Amethyst" pearl said to the short purple gem "we know he can be shattered but the trick is how to do it because of his regeneration".
"Well the only things capable of shattering him was my mothers sword and enough force like when he crashed to earth" Steven stated the list of things that caused onyx to shatter.
"you're right Steven but we don't possess the capability of dealing enough damage to cause him to shatter".
"you don't but all three of you combined will have enough strength"
"Steven fusion is not something you can take for granted, it requires more then physical contact to fuse, it's all about the emotional bond that keeps the fusion together, without it the fusion becomes unstable and everything falls apart" Garnet explained "if we are to take him down then we must be in synch".
"s-so we'll going to be fusing?" Pearl asked eagerly at the prospect of fusing.
"it would appear so" garnet confirm making the pearl jump with joy before she realised what she did and corrected herself.
"not right now of course but when we're all well rested".
-paradot-
The mini green gem of the worker caste was doing her best to survive being stranded on an urban environment that was home to battles that ravaged the planet controlled by pink diamond before her assassination.
"stupid mud ridden planet" she curse as her feet sink in the muddy ground before she tripped face first into the mud, pulling her face out of the ground she let a scream "CLLLOOOODDDD!", getting up from the ground she wiped the mud off of her all the while grumbling "stupid warrior caste rust walking barbarians getting me stuck on this ticking time bomb of a planet".
Just as she finished that sentence a loud boom echoed throughout the area scaring her "AAAAAHHHHHHH!" followed another series of loud boom's as the earth shakes "THE CUSTER IS EMERAGING WE'RE ALL DOOMED!" she scream taking cover in a nearby cave as the sounds got closer and closer until something large fell in front of her screeching .
Holding her legs close to her body she watched as the large object screeched loudly before something slammed into it causing it to explode as a large pair of feet stood in it's place.
A 'meep' escape her drawing the attention of the being outside her small cover, she placed her hands on her mouth and hope that it wouldn't find her, a few seconds later the feet walked away from her spot, curisous if the thing's gone she slow peered out of her cover only for a large hand to grab her by her head and pulled her out as she struggled wildly against the unknown being.
"Paradot?"
Looking along the limb holding her she saw the familiar face of her commander Onyx holding his weapon several inches from her face, dropping her to the ground causing her to land on her butt before speaking "it's good to friendly face here instead of the defects left on this scarred planet".
"good" she grumbled picking herself up from the ground "it would have been better if we didn't have to set foot on this doom cater in the first place".
"we have our orders or do you honestly want to go against the diamonds orders?" it wasn't so much as a question as no gem would dare go against the diamonds as they were revered as deities in the eyes of every gem and disobeying them was both a crime and blasphemous.
"no one would dare go against the diamonds" Paradot said fearful of every crossing yellow diamond "the only gem insane enough to defy was the Rebel quartz and look on how that went for her and those that followed her".
"tell me what caused us to crash?" he inquired about the cause of their situation.
"well while you were informing the great yellow diamond of the new development in our mission rose quartz escape from her cell and setting free her other subordinates, Jasper confronted the fusion of their traitorous ruby and sapphire while the rest stormed into the bridge and took me hostage and destroyed the ship in the process, I only managed to escape in one of the secret escape pods before the ship crashed".
"did Jasper manage to escape?" he was worried about the other warrior gem.
"unknown she was still battling the fusion when the ship crashed".
"so you don't know if she's shattered or not?"
"no but what are we to do now that we are stuck on this miserable planet?"
"first we establish a base of operations and open a line of communications with home world to send aid".
"oh and how am I suppose to do that? Simple create a relay out of what useless and outdated junk that this world proberly didn't destroy or maybe we should asked the rebels I'm sure their'll be more then happy to-"
Her rant of cut off curtesy of Onyx holding his blade inches from her throat "I put up with your constant whining because this was meant to be a simple survey mission in and out but now thanks to rose and her rebels this mission has changed from surveying to surviving so from now on i will not tolerate any form of disrespect got it" he growled at the small technician who rapidly nodded at him before letting out a sigh of relief as his blade left her throat.
"now there's a former home world base close by and with any luck some equipment we can savage".
