A/N: Thank you, fulgurite, for suggesting a Rose/Amethyst fusion. I like to think that maybe Rose and Amethyst had a mother/daughter-like relationship because Rose basically inspired Amethyst to be a part of the Crystal Gems and forget about her past in the Kindergarten. And perhaps that was why Amethyst was hurt when "Greg took Rose away." The fusion's name is Chalcedony and her weapon is a spiked yoyo (they actually have those).


I'm a bad Gem, Amethyst thought as she raced up the cliff above the Crystal Temple. I was created to hurt the Earth.

Earlier, when Amethyst went inside Pearl's room to get Rose, she overheard the two Gems talking.

"She jeopardized the entire mission all because her curiosity was peaked," Pearl told Rose.

"Don't be so hard on Amethyst," Rose scolded. "She's such a young Gem."

"She's a Quartz warrior," Pearl retorted. "She's a lovely Gem but she's so undisciplined!"

"All she needs is a bit more training," Rose said weakly.

"She was created to be an enemy, Rose!" Pearl hissed. "Who knows if she might still have that programming in her?"

"I'm the enemy?" Amethyst finally interrupted when she couldn't take the criticism.

"Amethyst," Pearl exclaimed, "I'm so sorry, I was just mad . . ."

"You don't have to explain yourself," Amethyst interjected. She turned to Rose. "How could you not tell me I was programmed to be bad?"

"You're not a bad Gem, Amethyst," Rose said.

"No!" Amethyst screamed. "Don't look at me! I might try to hurt you!"

The purple Gem fled the Crystal Temple and headed for the cliff above. The hill overlooked the civilization the humans were building on Crystal Gem territory, called "Beach City." They also built a structure called a "lighthouse" atop the hill. The lighthouse was still under construction, however.

Amethyst sat on the grass and tried to wipe the tears off her face. She always questioned what her purpose was and why her origins started with the Kindergarten and now she knew why: because she was meant to destroy Earth. Rose talked about the harmful Homeworld Gems coming to harvest the planet's life source "for nefarious reasons." Who knew the "nefarious reason" was her?

"Please Amethyst," Rose's voice interrupted the moment. "Let me explain."

"Go away," Amethyst yelled. "You're too good to be around me!"

"I'm not going to leave until I tell you the truth," Rose shouted back.

"Leave me alone!" Amethyst cried and she ran inside the rickety lighthouse to shield her. Why was Rose even bothering with her? She was a parasite to the Earth. She didn't belong with the Crystal Gems.

Amethyst climbed up the half-finished spiral staircase and hid inside a dark room with several windows. She sat down and hugged her knees. Why did Rose even take her in? Wasn't she supposed to be dangerous?

Rose's face peaked into the darkness. "Please, Amethyst? I want to talk to you."

"You shouldn't even come near me," Amethyst sobbed. "I'm evil."

Rose entered the room and sat down next to Amethyst. "I'm sorry for what Pearl said, she didn't mean it—"

"It doesn't matter if she didn't mean to say it," Amethyst shouted. "What she said was true and you know it."

"It's true that we were all made for a purpose," Rose said. "But that doesn't mean we have to comply with it."

"What does that mean?" Amethyst asked.

"I was not made to protect the Earth, Amethyst," Rose said. "I was made for the same reason you were: to be a bloodthirsty, cold-hearted warrior."

"But you're nothing like that!" Amethyst replied. "You're perfect and nice and—"

"Homeworld didn't think of me that way," Rose sighed. "That's why I love Earth so much; we don't have to follow the path Homeworld constructed for us. We can choose our own destinies here, we can learn how to love freely. I'm a Quartz just like you and do you see me destroying the planet?"

Amethyst shook her head.

"We don't have to be like what Homeworld expects from us," Rose added. "We can be whoever we choose, no matter what they programmed into us."

"I still hurt the planet," Amethyst muttered. "How do we know that all Quartzes aren't bad?"

Rose took Amethyst's hand. "Fuse with me."

"What?" Amethyst asked.

"I'll show you that I'm telling you the truth and that all Quartzes aren't bad," Rose said. "You always wanted to fuse with me anyways."

Amethyst was breathless; she can be as powerful as Rose? But what if the fusion caused havoc? After all, what would happen if a bad Gem and a good Gem fused?

The purple Gem nodded slowly and Rose smiled. They began their dance and combined their forms together. An Amazon-like, magenta-skinned Gem fusion emerged from the light and took in her surroundings. Her wild magenta-colored curls reached her knees and she possessed four navy blue eyes. She was dressed like a battle-ready warrior with her two gemstones revealed through cutouts on her bodysuit. Her name registered into the fusion's mind: Chalcedony.

"How do you feel?" Rose asked Amethyst through Chalcedony.

"Strong," Amethyst responded.

Chalcedony summoned Rose's shield and Amethyst's whip to create a sharp-bladed yoyo. She twirled it around and smashed a table built in the room. She then shattered a window to get her anger out.

"We have to stop before we destroy the place!" Rose cried through Chalcedony.

"Sorry," Amethyst's voice came through.

Inside Chalcedony, Amethyst felt strong and sure. But with Rose's self-control, the two of them made the perfect warrior. But unlike Homeworld Quartzes, Chalcedony controlled her own mind. Just like Amethyst and Rose.

Chalcedony defused willingly after Amethyst managed to control her anger.

"Are you okay?" Rose asked once the two of them fixed Chalcedony's mess.

"I am now," Amethyst admitted.
