"Why am I here?" asked Tristan.
"You're a crystal gem now." Said Garnet "you need to come on missions with us until we can find how to make you human again."
"Also you live like, right above us." Said Amethyst "so you can like, jump down to us."
"True." Said Pearl.
"Alright I get it, I'm lazy." Said Tristan as he got off lion "so what was the problem in the first place?"
"The communication hub was fixed." Said Garnet.
"So?" asked Tristan.
"She's trying to contact homeworld." Said Garnet.
"Ok." Tristan summoned his sabre "now I see why this is bad."
Steven gasped "you guys should form Sugilite!"
"Sugi-what now?" asked Tristan, but no one was listening to him.
"Yeah?" said Amethyst as she rubbed her arm "well, it's up to Garnet I guess." Amethyst turned around "what do you say? Shall we mash it up?"
"No." Said Garnet.
"What?" said Amethyst "but, don't we need to be huge like last time?"
"Ok everybody, time out." Said Tristan "who the hell is Sugilite?"
"Oh, it's Garnet and Amethyst fused." Said Steven like it was a simple thing.
"Oh great." Said Tristan sarcastically "that explains everything."
"Ok, cool." Said Steven turning around.
Tristan face palmed "this kid is so fucking oblivious."
"Come on, let's do this." Said Garnet as walked away and Pearl followed.
"Wait, what just happened?" asked Tristan.
"Garnet and Pearl are gonna fuse." Said Amethyst, but she sounded kind of, sad.
"Jesus I really need to pay more attention." Muttered Tristan as he looked over at the two Gems dancing. Steven ran over whooping and shouting "Fusion." Over and over again.
"*Tsk*" muttered Tristan "this oddly, sexual." But he turned his attention back to them when Garnet threw Pearl in the air! Pearl fell on Garnet and there was a flash of light!
"Good evening everybody!" said a large women as the curtains turned into butterflies. "This is the lovely Sardonyx coming to you live from the soon to be former communication hub. How are you all doing tonight?"
"Great." Said Amethyst in a monotone voice.
Tristan opened his mouth to ask what the hell was going on but Steven yelled "giant women!" before he could.
"Oh my stars." Said Sardonyx as she cupped her hands down for Steven to stand on "if it isn't Steven Universe, we finally meet. So, what do you think? Was I worth the wait? What am I saying, of course I was!" She began to laugh, Tristan just scowled and sat down.
"Annoying." Muttered "but if she's what we need so that I can go back home, then I'll accept it."
Tristan walked off to the communication hub, it was, interesting to say the least. "Now how do you work?" There were no symbols, and as far as he could tell, nothing inside them. "So what makes you function?" Tristan was too distracted to notice that Sardonyx had begun to destroy the communication hub.
"Watch out!" screamed Amethyst.
Tristan, without thinking, just summoned his sabre and cut in the air. He didn't even look, he just, did it! "What the?" Tristan looked at the sabre in his hand "when did I summon you?"
"Tristan, are you alright." Asked Amethyst.
"Yeah, why?" asked Tristan as he walked back over.
"That pillar, the one you destroyed!" Said Amethyst "didn't it hurt when a large piece hit you?"
"I have no idea what you're talking about." Said Tristan as he walked over to Steven.
"Now, just remember everybody." Said Sardonyx "if you ever have need of the, lovely Sardonyx. Let Pearl and Garnet know, and I'll be there in a flash. Literally." With that, Sardonyx disappeared and Pearl and Garnet appeared. Hugging each other. They started laughing, and Steven started whooping joy. Tristan just stared at them.
"I've decided." Said Tristan as he leaned up against lion "I, really, don't want to fuse."
"No." said Tristan "I'm not going back there to see Sardonyx destroy the hub again."
"But you're a Crystal Gem too." Said Pearl.
"And I'm a useless Crystal Gem if all I'm gonna do is stare at someone." Said Tristan leaning back "now just go on and fuse with Garnet already. I want to find a nice restaurant."
"Why?" asked Pearl.
Tristan sighed "don't you have someone to fuse with?" Pearl opened her mouth, but just closed it and left. "Seriously, I don't want to see another egotistical asshole running around all the time." Tristan grabbed a soda "had enough of that when I was killing people." He took a sip of his soda.
"So that's what you use to do." Said Amethyst from behind him, making him begin coughing up his soda.
"Fucking hell Amethyst." Said Tristan "just walk in through the door."
"I did." Said Amethyst "you just didn't notice me."
"Of course I didn't." said Tristan as he sat down on his couch "so what are you doing here?"
"I didn't want to go with them." Said Amethyst as she sat on railing by the stairs "so I just came here." Tristan just grunted as Amethyst took his empty can and chewed on it. "How did you do it." Asked Amethyst.
"Do what?" Said Tristan as he nervously shifted on the couch.
"How did you kill others?" asked Amethyst walking up to him "was it all fast and cool, or like. Slow and disgusting."
"Uh." Tristan was sort of at a loss for words "it was a mix of both, I guess."
"How?" asked Amethyst, completely oblivious to how uncomfortable Tristan was.
"Well it depended on who the bosses told me to kill." Said Tristan "if I was in a rush or had no time left. It was just a bullet to the head, or a blade to the throat. But…" Tristan paused for a bit "if I had the time and there were doing something I didn't like I would. Kill them very, very slowly." Amethyst looked right into Tristan's eyes, and the look he had made her shiver.
"I should…" Said Amethyst slowly backing up "I should go, the others might be worried."
"Yeah." Said Tristan as he continued to stare at the wall "bye." But Amethyst was already gone. 'That was harsh.' "I guess it was." Said Tristan as he began to walk up the stairs. 'You didn't have to scare her off. Now only that Pearl and Steven trusts you.' "That's not a problem, as soon as you're out of me I'm leaving." 'Oh but you don't want me to leave.' There was nothing but silence after that as Tristan began to work out. It was the only thing he could do to stop thinking about everything. If he couldn't kill, then he'd just do this.
"How much longer will you take!" asked Jade as she walked into the control room of ship "We need to find that hybrid before Blue Diamond asks us to return back to homeworld."
"I'm sorry, but we can't find him." Said the Peridot "there's too many corrupted gems for me to find his exact location. He could be any of the hundreds of dots on the screen."
"Then we're going to search every, single, one of them." Said Jade before turning around and leaving the room.
"Oh no." Muttered Blue Pearl "they're starting to get serious about this." She looked out the window "I have to find a way to warn him!"
