Only Fuse with You

NOTES: This chapter will contain some swearing.

In case of the ship, for any reason, to lose control, it will head for the nearest planet filled with life.

In all the planets that had organic life…Earth was the nearest one.

The emergency messaged disappeared with the final words of: Hail, Yellow Diamond. Our deaths will bring new life for our future gems.

PERIDOT: No…no, no, NO! Anything but Earth, why did it have to be Earth?

Another thing that caught her eye on the monitor…was that yellow Diamond was on her way and she was angrier than ever. A quick glimpse that Peridot saw was that the so-called flawless diamond had scratched markings on her…but that's all it was, just scratching's. Basically Peridot's new-found weapon didn't even penetrate the yellow diamond, it took a few shoots just to make little damage. Peridot knew Yellow Diamond was tough, she should've thought this through, a yellow diamond is the strongest substance. It was at this time when Peridot started to panic…the ship was heading to Earth, Yellow Diamond was making her way to the control room and they had no way to escape. Peridot looked at the panel…she found the source to close the door, the heavy doors slammed shut but knew this wouldn't keep Yellow Diamond out forever. Peridot sighed and then punched the control panel, though this didn't do anything but only to let out her frustrations. She looked up at the flashing monitors…though one was showing how far away from Earth they were. 20 minutes. This ship was travelling fast…at it's speed, it could pretty much destroy three quarters of the planet, if not all. Peridot began to well up, tears were forming…until she heard a sweet sound, calling her name.

LAPIS: Peridot…?

Peridot quickly rubbed her eyes to rid of the tears…she took a deep breath and walked over to Lapis. Even without her pupils, her eyes were still lovely to look at, even if a little eerie…Lapis produced a weak smile to Peridot, who sat next to her, holding her hand.

LAPIS: (Weak) We…c-can't escape can we…?

PERIDOT: (Pause) No…

LAPIS: (Nods but still smiles) That's okay…

PERIDOT: (Frowns) Uh…what?

LAPIS: It's okay. Yesterday was…(Blushing) Well, I'll never forget it, it was magical…it…it was amazing and it was with you…

PERIDOT: Oh…I…

LAPIS: I'm sorry for giving you a hard time.

PERIDOT: Oh, Lapis, it's my fault…you shouldn't be the one saying sorry…

LAPIS: Peridot-

PERIDOT: No! I need to say this! I'm…I'm sorry for all the pain, I gave you. The hurt, the interrogation. God knows I didn't want to do it! But…I…it was just orders…fucking orders, which I now know was just yellow Diamonds bullshit! (Sighs sadly) but still, I did it, I hurt you. I…I can't take back what I did to you…I never wanted to hurt you…(Tears appearing) I…dragged you into this. We're here because of me! I'm s-sorry! I'm sorry! How can you love me…considering what I did to you?

LAPIS: Peridot…I love you because you knew what you did was wrong, not just that but… I…I saw your dream…

PERIDOT: Ah, crap…

LAPIS: No, listen…no one has ever thought about me like that before, I was always used for someone's scheme but you…you was the only gem that actually cared…for me…yes, you hurt me but…I forgive you because you showed me much, much more…you showed me true love…and that time we spent together at the barn, I'll never forget…(Blushes) Your touch…your love…(Though weak, she manages to pull herself closer to Peridot, resting her head on the green gems shoulders) I'm just glad, I'm with you right now…

PERIDOT: (Smiles) I…wouldn't change it for the world…I love you, Lapis…

Just then, they were startled by a loud banging at the steel doors, the banging then became rapid. Peridot knew it was yellow diamond, not to mention she was shouting from the other side.

YELLOW DIAMOND: I WILL DESTROY YOU, PERIDOT! YOU AND THAT BLUE BITCH! YOU CAN'T DEFEAT ME! I'M THE HARDEST SUBSTANCE IN THIS GALAXY!

PERIDOT: (An idea seems to appear) Hardest…substance…?

FLASHBACK

Suddenly, from nowhere, Peridot and Lapis was pushed away from each other by some invisible force and again, in a flash they were both surrounded in separate yellow bubbles. They both panicked, but the bubble was like a solid prison. They looked at each other, screaming each other's names but…they couldn't hear each other's call, the solid bubble prison was sound proof. Garnet gasped and then gritted her teeth, calling up her weapons from her hands, her round fists as strong as steel and with no hesitation, she punched Peridots yellow bubble…but the impact bounced, not making a dent, Garnet tried again, even harder this time, she impacted into the bubble and still it made no dent.

GARNET:Diamond shield…? The hardest substance. I…I can't…(Peridot was looking on worried and by the looks of it, trying to encourage Garnet to try again) I can't break it!

PERIDOT:Come on, break it! (Though Garnet couldn't hear)

GARNET:(Seeing Peridot panic) I can't break it! It's to strong!

The flashback had ended. The diamond bubbles, it was the perfect idea.

PERIDOT: Wait, here!

Lapis didn't want her to leave but Peridot ran to the control panel, the flashing red lights becoming a nuisance and almost blinding. Peridot surveyed the panel and put her guns down. She then put her hands through the water-like panel and then her eyes became red, with pink code statically whizzing in her eyes. She could see the code…and tried to find access to the bubble shields, surprisingly she was still authorized to access some of the log-ins. She searched and finally found the file to bring up a bubble shield and pin-point its location…but…there was a catch. Peridot cursed as she found out that the red alert had dumbed down the power supply and could only activate one bubble shield. She turned to look at Lapis and smiled weakly…then she pinpointed Lapis's location, it was ready to surround her.

Then another crash at the steel doors, a yellow hand had managed to pierce through the heavy doors. Peridot yelp at this but carried on. She wanted to find something else…she whizzed through the files, moved her hands as the cursor and saw, in clear writing…self-destruct. Peridot chuckled to herself…the scenario: Get Lapis to safety and blow the ship up, with her and yellow diamond on board. She chuckled even more that is this the only option…considering the bubble shields couldn't hold more than one person. She then activated the self-destruct button. 7 minutes, the ship would blow and in theory be nowhere near Earth. The timer was now all over the monitors. Lapis saw this and gasped frightenly. Peridot then ripped off some of the panel, only enough so she could activate the bubble, the strange panel was floating with Peridot's hands still strangely sunk into it, her red eyes hadn't changed but seemed to glitch now…she walked over to Lapis. Yellow Diamond was still screaming in rage and punching through the door, making the hole bigger, she could tell what Peridot had done.

Peridot kneeled down to Lapis.

LAPIS: Your…g-going to blow up the ship?

PERIDOT: (Sly) Looks like it…

LAPIS: Then how are we…?

Just then a yellow bubble formed around Lapis, keeping her seeled…Peridot made sure the force field wasn't on to cause Lapis pain. Lapis smiled a little as this would keep her save but this was quickly replaced with concern as she just saw Peridot look down, disheartened.

LAPIS: Peridot…w-what are you waiting for? (Though Peridot couldn't hear, she knew that Lapis was questioning why she wasn't bubbling herself) Peridot! PERIDOT?!

Peridot looked up as a tear rolled down her cheek.

PERIDOT: I'm sorry…

LAPIS: (Banging the bubble with her fist) Peridot, what are you doing?

PERIDOT: I've…to stay here…

LAPIS: Peridot! WHAT ARE YOU DOING? BUBBLE YOURSELF!

Peridot could easily lip read…and just stared at Lapis and slowly shook her head in a "I can't" fashion

Peridot released she could produce a hologram of words for Lapis to see. A screen appeared in front of Lapis, a black canvas screen and then some green writing appeared as Peridot moved her eyes and hands on the semi control panel.

I can't come with you.

LAPIS: (Starts crying) Why? WHY?

Peridot sighs and types up more letters into words in front of Lapis.

The bubble uses up too much energy. I can only produce one. I'm staying here.

LAPIS: (Shakes her head) No…

I'm…sorry…

LAPIS: No! No, no, NO! There…t-there must be another way? THERE MUST BE!

I'm sorry…there is no other way…

LAPIS: (Grits her teeth) You…you can't do this to me! You can't! You've got to come with me! I…I…

I…can't…

LAPIS: Peridot! Don't leave me! Please! Don't…(Breaks down)…l-leave me…I need you! Please don't…leave…m-me…

I'll always be with you. Always and forever.

LAPIS: Please, not like this…

I love you, Lapis Lazuli. My beautiful gem.

LAPIS: NOOOO!

PERIDOT: Goodbye.

And with that, Peridot activates the bubble, sending the coordinates to Earth, not far from where the barn stood. And then, Lapis disappeared, safe from the ship, safe from yellow Diamond…but away from her love. Never to be seen by her own eyes again.

Peridot couldn't hold back her tears and even though she was scared, she knew she wanted Lapis to be safe and away from here. Just then the steel doors where no more and Yellow Diamond entered the room, kicking the broken down doors in her way. Peridot wiped her tears and ran to the broken control panel to pick up her guns she put down, just missing the forceful punch from yellow diamond, badly denting the floor where Peridot had stood. The Yellow Diamond grunted in frustration and turned to look at the green gem with furious anger as her diamond shaped pupils where filled with flames of hate. Peridot fills the chambers of her guns with her head gem. Yellow Diamond stared at the flashing signs of the destruction that was soon to happen. 4 minutes left.

YELLOW DIAMOND: (Starts to laugh) Is this really the best you can do?

Peridot's weapons were loaded and points the guns at the huge yellow diamond, who by now was slowly walking forward. Peridot emptied a chamber but yellow diamond just took it, each bullet just bouncing off her, not one causing an injury or even a scratch…she carried on walking forward. Peridot gulped but unloaded her other gun…pulling the trigger rapidly but still the bullets couldn't even make an impact, impalement or dent. Aside from the scratching's earlier, that were slowly healing, the yellow was…flawless.

YELLOW DIAMOND: Do you really think this will destroy me? Blowing up the ship? HA! You stupid, useless, pathetic little Peridot! I…am Yellow Diamond, I AM FLAWLESS! I AM THE HARDEST SUBTANCE IN THIS GALAXY! I…cannot be destroyed. (Points) You, on the other hand…are weak, a simple Peridot. You not survive this explosion.

Peridot tries to run but yellow diamond turns and quickly snatches poor Peridot in her hand and starts squeezing her in the grasp and brings her closer to her face.

YELLOW DIAMOND: And once I survive. I'll bring my army of dedicated followers and other diamonds to see that this planet Earth is destroyed. (Peridot starts to crack as one trails over her neck)…but first I'll destroy Lapis. I'll hurt her…I'll cause her pain and I'll make her suffer a slow painful death! You haven't saved her; you've just prolonged her suffering! And I'm going to enjoying listening to her SCREAM!

PERIDOT: (Struggling) Don't…you…touch…her!

YELLOW DIAMOND: Every touch will be PAIN! And you won't be able to save her! I WILL DESTROY THAT UGLY, LOOKING GEM!

Yellow Diamond squeezed Peridot again…the crack then ran over her right eye, bits of her face were chipping away, she was dying and she could feel it…the pain was unbearable. Her vision was going…darkness was arriving but then she saw Lapis, in her vision…dancing.

PERIDOT: Lapis…

Peridot's visions

Lapis was spinning around, her skirt following her every move. So…delicate…so graceful.

THEN CUT TO: Lapis biting her lip as Peridot was kissing her over the neck and Peridot's gentle green hands went up the dress. Lapis smiled and moaned.

AAHH!

CUT TO: Peridot looking into Lapis eyes. The grey blanket covering them.

PERIDOT: I love you, Lapis.

LAPIS: (Gently touches Peridot's face) I love you to, Peridot!

The visions disappeared and though more cracks appeared over Peridot's face, she gritted her teeth and produced enough strength to at least have the last say. Her gem started glowing, as did she.

PERIDOT: She's…NOT UGLY! YOU'RE THE UGLY ONE! YOU…FUCKING CLOD!

The yellow diamond had uncontrollable anger and was about to slam Peridot onto the floor, into a million of pieces. She raised the green gem but then…pain was felt in the grasp of Yellow diamonds hand.

YELLOW DIAMOND: AHHGR! WHAT? What the…?

Peridot was pretty much limping but still alive but badly weak. Yellow diamond dropped her. Peridot landed hard but not enough to shatter but still winced in pain, as her strong green glow died down. Yellow diamond started screaming…her hand was…burning?

Steam was mixing in with smoke as the Yellow Diamond's hand was melting as if dipped in lava, her hand was nothing but mush that dripped into a molten of diamond but this was impossible. The yellow diamond screamed as she never felt this pain before, she backed off, white lines were spreading up her arm and body but still melt quickly…

YELLOW DIAMOND: WHAT IS THIS? WHAT'S HAPPENING?

Peridot didn't have the answer but smiled at the sight. A diamond was melting but from what…Peridot? Maybe. What did it matter anyway? The melting practically took away the yellow diamonds arm and making its way to the shoulder and neck…the yellow diamond panicked, falling to her knees…the white lines spreading all over the body now…cracking her.

YELLOW DIAMOND: HOW? HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE? (Gasps) IT HURTS!

Peridot used the last of her strength, a filled the gun chamber with one bullet, it was lucky her gem was yet cracked. The gun was loaded and pointed the gun at yellow diamond. Surely this one bullet could be enough to destroy the yellow diamond.

YELLOW PERIDOT: A PERIDOT? HOW COULD A PERIDOT DO THIS?

PERIDOT: I'm not just a Peridot. I'm a Crystal Gem!

After the cheesy one liner, Peridot pulled the trigger and the bullet flew out of the chamber, flying like it was in slow motion…heading for the yellow Diamonds head. The yellow Diamond then screamed her last words.

YELLOW DIAMOND: NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

The bullet smashed into the yellow diamonds head, making her eyes twist and crack and then the white lines becoming more cracks, glowed bright and the yellow diamond exploded into millions of pieces, some dissolving into dust. The explosion pushed Peridot off her feet with great force and violently chucked her through the window, smashing the strong glass…she gasps her last sound as she poofed into a little green gem, spinning viscously in space but speeding towards Earth, hopefully soon enough, she might reach Earth's atmosphere.

The self-destruct bomb was on its final seconds.

5…4…3…2…1…

0.

NOTES: I'm gonna stop right there. Yes, there are some mislead illogical moments in this but…it's just a story.

Next chapter will be up next week.

Oh yes, if you're a Lapidot fan. I suggest you look for the comics called Falling Star (I think) and Another History/Anti-Freeze. Both are absolutely amazing and I especially love Peridot's design in the later chapters of Falling Star (Again, I think that's the title).
