(?) "It seems that they don't suspect anything"
(?) "Indeed they don't, but it will only be a matter of time before they discover it"
(?) "We must act as fast as possible"
(?) "Didn't you learn from our past mistakes?"
(?) "It's you again, why did they send you"
(?) "It seems that your plan is going smoothly but I'm here to speed things up, the faster we end this the quicker we can leave this place"
(?) "Enough! The three of you are wasting time bickering like this. The plan will proceed as it is meant to be but it seems that the entourage of the subject present an obstacle so we need to alter our course of action, the more we learn about the subject the faster we can proceed with our plan and if we fail this one it will be the end of us"
(?) "True, failure is not an option"
(?) "Victory or death"
Beach City Friday 9 am
It was a sunny day in beach city; everything was perfect for a walk on the beach. Still not fully awake, the two girls went into the toilet. After brushing their teeth and washing their faces they sat in the kitchen for some breakfast
"Sure is a lovely weather «Said Stevonnie
"Can't agree more Stevonnie, this weather is perfect for a beach walk"
"Yeah, maybe we can bring some metal detectors and you can explain to me the stuff about you and your aunts or sisters do"
"Crap, I forgot about the whole thing. After the walk, I will explain the whole thing about the Topaz, the gems and me."
"You got a deal, now tell me where these metal detectors are. Who know what we will find on the beach"
"Treasure hunters' gooooooooo"
"You got, now let finish eating"
Spending hours with the metal detectors, their quest to find a treasure buried in the beach remained fruitless. They quickly grew bored and they got hungry, quickly darting over to the big donut for a snack and then for a walk.
Still, with nothing to do, they kept walking around town occasionally meeting some of the people they knew but it did not occur to them that they were being watched by garnet. Still determined to know what the human girl Kelly is hiding.
Unknown to them they were all being watched. The being that kept an eye on them was clad in some sort of armor from head to toe, the figure stood in the shadows making sure that it had its features obscured.
"I will see you three soon," The figure said as it retreated to the shadows only to vanish without a trace.
Hours passed and the girls were extremely bored, apparently doing their homework early did have this effect and they were not happy about it. There was an awkward silence but Stevonnie decided to break it.
"So what do we do now? I mean we did everything we wanted and everything we needed to do." The former Fusion said
"Don't ask me, my head is empty now and I'm pretty much out of ideas." The human girl answered
"Let's go back home, killing some time with video games sure might be handy and after that getting a donut and a couple of drinks might be a good Idea so what do you think Kelly?"
"I'm game but first let me make a phone call; a cousin of mine wants to check up on me."
With that, the human girl left, leaving Stevonnie waiting for her alone on the bench. The former Fusion was deep in her thought when she suddenly felt a hand rest on her shoulder. It was none other than Amethyst who just patted her shoulder.
"Whoa there, take it, easy girl." The purple quartz said trying to hold a laugh.
"Sorry Amethyst, I was just thinking about stuff until Kelly return."
"Oh yeah, I was wondering where your human pal went."
"She is making a phone call; I'm just waiting for her to finish it that's all"
"Well, if you two are not busy maybe you could come with me to chill in the sky arena. I usually go there to relax and chill by myself" and right after Amethyst uttering those words Stevonnie human friend came running
"Whoa there Kelly, What happened to you?" Asked the former Fusion
"Another monster is attacking the school. Stevonnie you better hurry and get there before it kills someone," The human girl said only to see all of the gems and lion were there standing right behind Stevonnie
"Wait you guys, before we go we must put on some disguise." The former fusion said before her form started glowing and after seconds, her alter ego aka Lady Quartz stood in front of them.
"Whoa that is cool," The purple quartz said
"Why would we need to do this? We usually fight and poof corrupted gems." Pearl asked tilting her head in confusion.
"It is the school where Stevonnie goes. We do this for the sake of not getting her into trouble there." Garnet said with her usual blank expression.
Stevonnie P.O.V
All right, time for some action. All of us are now in our superhero form and en route to my school where the monster was attacking. Why do they keep coming after one place if the diamonds turned them into a brainless animal?
I do not know how Kelly got that call, maybe it was another friend of her but that does not matter as long as a monster is threatening people we have to deal with it.
We arrived at the school only to see smoke coming from the left side of the main building. Suddenly we heard a loud scream, well more like shriek actually.
"Okay everyone your job is done here." We said to the firefighters and the people who were present at the time recording what is happening with their phones and cameras.
All of them turned around to see all of us standing with our weapons ready to fight whatever made that horrible voice. For a couple of minutes, everyone with a camera or a phone in the crowd stood staring at us and then pointed their devices at us in an attempt to record our every movement.
A loud crash echoed through the place, which made everyone turned around to see the source of the noise. The cause of the sound was a giant red gorilla like being with no eyes, which had molten magma dripping from its mouth, several spikes all over its hands and two short legs… time to kick some butt
Normal P.O.V
The beast noticed the disguised gem and began grunting; it started hitting the ground with its massive hammer-like fists and then tried to spit magma on the group. To the crystal gems, the attack seemed slow and they were able to dodge but to the firefighters they had no time for any reaction.
Luckily for them, Stevonnie expanded her shield, covering most of them before they could get hurt. The other few that she missed are getting saved by garnet and amethyst leaving pearl fighting the corrupted gem alone doing her best to keep it distracted while the other get all the humans to safety.
"Amethyst Pearl form Opal now. We will keep it busy and you deliver the finishing blow." Garnet ordered to which she got nods of agreement from her fellow crystal gems.
Just as the duo started preparing to fuse, they noticed something coming at them. The corrupted Ruby threw a huge chunk of concrete at them; they dodged it and then fused into a giant four-armed lavender humanoid cat. People present at the time gasped in shock at the sight in front of them.
The corrupted gem roared at Stevonnie and charge at her in an attempt to crush the former fusion. To this attempt at her life by the beast, Stevonnie brought forth her shield, reading herself for the impact Stevonnie felt that someone is watching her. Distracted by this, Stevonnie tried to look around searching for the one keeping eyes on her while holding her ground. The beast smacked her shield sending her flying into the air and directly to the second floor of the school.
Stevonnie back collided with the hard surface of the building, it was painful and it made her consciousness drift away. Her shield dissipated into nothing, and she started falling.
Stevonnie P.O.V
So this is it huh… I am falling to my death and all that I planned in life is finished. I can feel the wind blowing against my skin but wait a minute. I can feel a cold metallic yet gentle hand holding me.
Normal P.O.V
"Don't worry kiddo, I got you." Stevonnie Savior said in a voice that was almost robotic.
As they landed, her supposed savior vanished without a trace, leaving the former fusion resting on the cold floor of the school. After poofing the corrupted Ruby, the crystal gems came to check on their fellow gem.
"Stevonnie are you alright? What happened?" Asked the worried Pearl
"I'm fine Pearl; it's just my back that hurts."
"Let us get her home so she can rest." Garnet said, "Let's get you to Rose's healing fountain" She added while picking up Stevonnie from the ground. With their job done, the team of gems left the school ground heading for their home.
Finally, this damn chapter is over, I added many things in this chapter which I will make sure to explain in the future chapters. Who is the one that saved Stevonnie? Moreover, who are the three talking in the beginning of this chapter? As I said, I will hint them the few next chapter. I hope you enjoyed this and stay tuned for more. Nova Quartz is out.
