The hologram ran with incredible speed, it's sword out in front and ready for a target. We all dodged in separate directions and narrowly avoiding the strike. "Pearl! Can you stop it?" Steven asked, standing behind Garnet for protection. "No. Diamond will fight it." Garnet said. "All these blades... It's probably fought and killed hundreds of people, and learned all their techniques. It's his first mission." Pearl warned. Now that was offending. I may not be a swordsman, but I can handle a little hologram. Instead of waiting for their confirmation, I summoned my pistol. The Hologram looked at me momentarily and charged. I smirked and clicked the hammer.
Now, I would love to say that I dodged the Holo Pearl, took my aim, and destroyed it. Sadly, the opposite happened. I fired repeatedly in the direction of the Holo, but it adapted, taking not of my aim and reload times. As it got closer, I had less time to reload. Then it happened. I had time to load one bullet. I clicked it into place, and tried to aim. The world slowed. I saw the Holo Pearl make a swift hand motion. I felt a sharp pain. My eyes widened in horror as I saw my left arm drop to the ground. I fell to my knees, looking up at the clone. I weakly lifted my arm to attack, but the pearl shoved the sword through my shoulder, pinning me to the wall. It dashed away, leaving it's sword stuck in me. I looked down at the puddle of blood before me. It was sparkling, oddly enough. As I slipped away, everyone ran towards me. "You'll be okay" Pearl reassured.
Then poof.
Man, that got gory. I had the idea last night, just to give a segway into Robin learning the ins and outs of his gem. Anyways, until next time!
