Overcooked Runt 10

A/N: Wow! Finally at 10 chapters! At this point my story has 16 follows and 12 favs. That's more than my first story! I'm so happy for that! I just hope for everyone to keep reviewing, following, and faving my story. Thanks guys! Speaking of my first story, like I said, this is in the same universe as it. Which means there will be some bits of it incorporated. On with the story.

The gems looked at me. I took a deep breath. My statement had lingered in the air. I don't want to get mad. That would just make everything worse.

"I think we have kept it from you for too long." Rose finally responds. She takes a breath. "Gems, I think Amethyst and I need to be alone for this talk."

One by one all of the gems start to go out of the room. Pearl was first, I guess she was eager to get out. Ruby went in her room after Pearl had. Sapphire was last, she shared a glance at Rose and then went into her room.

"Come, Amethyst, I think I should tell you where you can see." Rose vaguely orders. I come with her to the warp pad. She warps us away.

'Where are we going? Are we going to see more gems or something?' I pondered. We had warped to the battlefield. This was the place where Pearl told me about her past.

"Why are we here? I mean, this place just has some weapons and stuff. Nothing new." I blurt out. I'm not going to lie, I have no idea why I'm here.

"We are here because these just aren't normal weapons. Some of them are… from a long time ago." Rose replies.

"I guess we should start from the beginning. About Homeworld itself." Rose starts. "Homeworld is where I, Pearl, Ruby, and Sapphire come from. It was a wonderful place. Until I had become of higher power though…"

Thousands and Thousands of Years Prior…

Rose Quartz- Pink Diamond- was sitting on her throne. She didn't like it that much. She was supposed to be sent a Pearl soon.

So much was just wrong with that. Having gems lower than her was wrong. Having gems that were servants was wrong. They were all gems, did it matter?

Well it had mattered to Homeworld. She was loyal to Homeworld, so she had to have this done.

She wonders how the warrior gems were doing. There were only one main one now. The Citrines. Who knew how they were doing?

Once her Pearl came, she would go to start up the Kindergarten. On a planet called Earth. She wonders how that place would be.

Would it be a large planet? One that could get her away from the troubles here on her Homeworld.

She curses herself. How could she think badly about this place? They haven't done anything too wrong. There was the matter of Pearls though.

What was she kidding? She knew not enough of what Homeworld did. Maybe she'd learn more going to the Kindergarten. She is surprised that she hadn't had to set one up before. Maybe she'd see that Homeworld isn't so bad.

She hopes so at least.

Things were becoming dire. Kindergartens were in vain. Homeworld was becoming greedy, this was slowed down by Rose herself of course. They Kindergarten gems became more monstrous. The Pearls more mindless. Homeworld just wanted more all the time. They could not have it. Homeworld did not care though. Thanks to Yellow Diamond they just destroy everything in their path.

They had made fusion nearly illegal. Just a war weapon.

Rose could remember the early days. When she first came about. Everything was so much better. Everyone could say whatever they wished. Homeworld was not surveilled all the time. People could fuse for whatever reason they wanted to, with whoever they wanted too.

When Rose was called into power, she was confused of course. But, she was very powerful for just a quartz gem. Being trained with a sword even furthered this.

Rose had wished and wished to change Homeworld. She had no higher power than the original three diamonds however, so she could not change Homeworld at all.

This saddened her, definitely. She wanted to fix Homeworld, show all these gems that they didn't have to be this way.

Sometimes, she wished she did before she rebelled. No one would have gotten shattered.

Present…

I had cut Rose off. "You rebelled?"

"Yes, I did. We are at the site where I even told Pearl. She was joyful, and I am grateful for that." Rose replied.

I was starting to put the pieces together. "Does that mean these weapons were from," I trail off.

"Yes, from the Great Gem War. Or just the Gem War." Rose answers. She turns and looks at the sky once more. She looked like she was debating telling me something. She shook it off and went on with her story.

"We were at the Kindergarten when I had told diamonds to stop…"

3000 Years Ago…

"You'll see." Pink Diamond- now Rose Quartz had said. She had to go tell her Pearl. A rebellion would be starting soon. She had taken Pearl to a special place.

A beautiful place. She wanted this to be remembered. She started to tell Pearl everything on that large island in the sky.

"My Pearl." She said at the end. Pearl said she was wonderful. She didn't know how to feel.

"We must tell the other gems. We are going to have to prepare." Rose stated.

They had gone back to the Kindergarten, the place to have started this whole thing. Rose stood up in front of everyone.

"The news I am about to say might be shocking. Some of you will fight, some of you will cry. I'm so sorry." Rose started. The gems all looked up to her. Man, she just didn't like that.

"You do not have to call me Pink Diamond anymore. I am just Rose Quartz. That's not all, however." Rose gulped. She turned to Pearl who gave her a satisfying smile. She turned back to her audience. "I have found life on this world! Homeworld is doing horrible things by making this Kindergarten. I cannot stand around any longer and let this be. I'm staging a rebellion."

"I am sorry, but this could mean fighting. Fighting your friends. But please choose. Homeworld or this planet? You have a lot of time. I just don't wish for any of you to get hurt."

Many gems had prepared to leave for Homeworld, and rally up Homeworld's forces. More had stayed. Rose felt that this was because at least some of them still looked up to her. There were two gems that were special however.

A red gem and a blue one. A Ruby and Sapphire respectively by the looks of it.

They clung on to each other tight. Looked at each other with worried eyes. Ruby had whispered something to Sapphire, which Rose barely managed to pick up.

"I couldn't leave you." She had said. Sapphire smiled. And they kissed each other. A couple, Rose saw.

This was one of the reasons that they would rebel. Why they should rebel. Homeworld had such strict rules about expressing yourself and just love. These gems cared for each other immensely. Rose could easily see that.

It wasn't just what you could see though. It's was you could hear. Every caring word they had said to each other. Rose knew it was not fake.

It was weird, however. Only a few other gems were even in love. These two were the most in love. And to surprise her more, they were the first to make a mixed fusion. That was another story.

All those others who had loved each other. Sadly, they were all lost. Azurite and Onyx. They had loved each other. They were gone. Another example, Jade and Hessonite. Gone.

When the war had ended that fateful day, much was lost. Something that meant nothing to anyone else but much to Rose was gone. One thing that was forgotten and yet to return was gone. By the time the war ended, that specific item was floating in the ocean.

By the time the war had ended, many gems had fallen, more innocent than not. Rose was not innocent. She had bubbled the gems, waiting to heal them.

When the war ended, she had saved this planet and the life on it. But not all of her kind that she had lost.

She only had one question for herself when the war ended. Was it worth it?

No.

Present…

Rose had told me all I needed to know. I just can't believe this had happened. All those gems shattered. All those gems dead, tortured. It was madness!

Just, it wasn't all of that. I might sound selfish, but it was the reason that war had started.

It was because of the Kindergartens. Where I came from. Nothing mor and nothing less. There were other things Rose mentioned. The whole servant thing, fusion, love, and a few others. But it was mainly the Kindergarten here on Earth that set the whole thing in motion.

I hated it. I hated all of that. A place where they made life was a nightmare. It needed to die. It did. I hate it so much.

I hate me so much.

Why did I have to come from that damn place? Why do I have to be made there? That's the reason that whole damn war had started!

Do the gems think that about me? Do they hate me for it? I can't believe it. What if that's why they wanted to add me to the team? Jst to be the mess up?

I can't think like this, but I just get this nagging feeling about how much I hate myself. I can't take it but I have no one to talk to.

I have no one who gets it. Everyone here is from Homeworld, not me though. I'm just from here. From the Kindergarten. Rose snaps me out of my thoughts.

"Are you okay?" She simply asked with so much worry in her voice. I stay zoned out but realise soon enough she is talking to me. Should I lie to her, or tell her my real feelings? I curse myself for choosing the former.

"Yeah! Yeah, I'm fine. It's just," I reply. Rose sighs.

"It must be a lot to take in. I knew it was a bit rushed, just I don't know if I could keep it from you a bit longer." Rose looks up once more. "We should probably go back to the Temple. The other gems might want to add their bit on this."

I nod. We start to walk back. All I could hear were my footsteps. Rose's were too light, and our walk was done in silence.

The nlyother noise I heard before arriving at the Temple was the warp pad warping us away.

We came back to see Ruby and Sapphire standing there.

"Hello Ruby and Sapphire." Rose greets.

"Hi, Rose." Sapphire replies. "May we speak to Amethyst, in private, please?"

"I suspected this. You can. I'll talk to Pearl. I have a feeling she might need it. I don't like it when she distances herself." Rose walks into her room.

"So, I'm going to go on a limb here and say Rose told you all about us?" Ruby blurts out. Spahhire glares at her. Well, I think. Her bangs cover her face except for her mouth.

"Ruby." She simply states. Ruby backs down.

"Actually, she barely mentioned you. She only said boring stuff about love or whatever." I ramble.

"Boring?" Ruby asks defensively. She actually has steam coming out of her.

"Ruby, just calm down." Sapphire tells her. Sapphire looks at me. "Okay, I guess we might have to tell you ourselves?"

"I guess you just might. I have been explained so much, just not enough."

"Do we have to Sapphire?"

"She is our teammate, Ruby. She needs to know at least something about us. We know her, she needs to know us."

"Ugh. Fine."

"It was a long time ago on Homeworld…"

A/N: Bam! Cliffhanger! Yeah, this will be 4 parts. I just wanted one topic to be covered at a time. So the first would be the ask, then it had to be Amethyst either learning or having to adjust. Now she's finally learnt about Homeworld! Now it will be about love and a little bit of fusion.

The next chapter will be the chapter to transition into the fusion part. Where Amethyst has to really learn fusion and actually fuse.

I hope you like my fic so far!
