As the Gems walked back to the Warp Pad, they were cheered on by the many Zorakians they had just saved. "Onyx, I'm sorry I didn't go with you that night. If I had been there, it might have turned out different."
"Obsidian, it wasn't your fault. I wanted to go alone to prove myself."
"Yes, but I neglected your training."
"You fell in love. I can't fault you for that!"
"Yes, but-!"
"Obsidian, it's okay. I'm fine. We're fine. Everyone is fine. It all worked out in the end. Steven fixed my Gemstones, and I am fine."
"Okay, but I'm not going to neglect your training anymore. I'll make sure you have the best training I can give you."
"Thank you, Obsidian. And thank you, Steven. Without your healing spit, I would still be a mound of Sludge slowly covering this planet with no control over myself."
"No problem! That's what I do!"

They took Onyx back to Beach City and she couldn't believe how it had grown in over 100 years. "So many new sights! So many new inventions!"
"Yep, I felt the same way when I came back. Say, why did you take over my mind and make me try to kill everyone?"
"Oh, well, about that. It's a long story..."
"Tell me, please."
"Well, I guess I should start at the night I went on that solo mission..."

I could tell you about how Onyx came to be the Sludge, but that's a story for another time. It will come soon, I assure you. Join me in my next Steven Universe Fanfic entitled "Onyx's story."

The End... for now...
