Chapter 11:Yellow Moissanite Strikes!

A/N:Disclaimer I do not own Steven Universe in any shape or form. Whelp, I was gone for over three months. Which is kinda bad and hypocritical when I literally said I wouldn't in the last chapter. So...I'm gonna be honest, I've lost interest in writing this story. Yeah, I know it sucks. Especially when I said I wouldn't give up finishing this story in the last chapter too. It's just that I started this story wanting it to stay as close to the canon as possible. So after all the plot reveals, and new characters being added, I realized staying close to the canon would never be possible. I originally thought this was feasible back in 2015 since most cartoons didn't have a big difference in them between each season (Except for Adventure Time). I'll continue this AN after you read my unfinished chapter 11. Yes, you read that correctly. This chapter isn't finished even after almost 5 whole months. I at least wanted to finish this chapter since I would be cancelling this story, but I just couldn't for some odd reason. Anyway, read this chapter, and I'll see you at the end.

Connie

Could she even do it? There's no telling if Connie would run into one of the Diamonds, or a random Gem that would kill her without hesitation. Not to mention she had no idea where she was going; just running down a seemingly never ending purple hallway. It reminded her the time when she chased Steven through Peridot's crashed hand ship. During that time Connie was trying to figure out why Steven tried his best to avoid her. But now wasn't the time to be reminiscing, Connie needed to focus.

"Ugh, how long have we been trapped in here?" an angry sounding person shouted from down the hall.

"I would say a year and five months as of this current update. Which is ridiculous considering the author of this story has plenty of spare time to write. But that would be breaking the forth wall" a mellow voice answered the angry one.

"What? What are you talking about?"

"Nothing"

Connie mouthed the words "what the" as she continued running. Eventually she stopped in front of two containment chambers. Inside the chamber on the left was a short red Gem, and the right one had a short blue Gem.

The red Gem stared at her before saying "Connie?"

"Hm? I'm sorry, do I know you?" Connie asked. She honestly had no idea who this Gem was, unless...

"It's us, Ruby and Sapphire. Were the two Gems that fuse to form Garnet" Sapphire revealed to Connie.

Gasping in surprise Connie said "Oh my gosh! I had no idea what you two looked like separated!"

"Yeah yeah, this is surprising and all. But can you get us out of here before the Diamonds come back?" Ruby hurriedly asked Connie.

"Oh, sure" Connie promptly answered.

The black haired girl started making her way to Sapphire's cell first, when all a sudden...

"Hiyah!"

A slender yellow Gem jumped down between Connie and Sapphire. Leaping back in surprise, the human girl unsheathed Rose's sword prepared for a possible battle.

"You, Connie human, this can go one of two ways. Me carrying you back to your containment cell, or me knocking you out and then carrying you back to your containment cell" Yellow Moissanite listed.

"How about these two other options? You walk away right now, and I free those Gems. Or, I make you retreat into your Gem and still free them" Connie swiftly responded, pointing Rose's sword at Yellow Moissanite.

The golden Gem stifled a chuckle "You humans are so funny; thinking that you could disobey a Gem and get away with it"

"I AM going to get away with it!" Connie declared before charging Yellow Moissanite.

"Oh come now Connie, you can't hurt me" the Homeworld Gem derided, calmly holding out her right hand to block the attack.

Connie only gave her a sly smile, because when the dark haired girl got within arms length of Yellow Moissanite, she swiped Rose's sword across the palm her yellow outstretched hand.

"Youch!" Yellow Moissanite hollered, quickly retracting her hand.

Taking her eyes off of Connie, the blond haired Gem looked at her hand. Right in the center of her palm was a thin horizontal mark almost the whole width of her hand. How is this possible? Humans aren't strong enough to hurt Gems. "Why you little- Gowch!" the ponytailed Gem didn't even have time to insult Connie before she felt a sharp pain in her left leg.

"I thought you said I couldn't hurt you" Connie teased, knowing full well how mad Yellow Moissanite was getting.

"Grrrraaaahhhh! That's it!" the Homeworld Gem spat with rage.

Yellow Moissanite attempted to grab Connie, but she leapt back at the last second. "Stand still you annoying carbon based life form!"

"You gotta be quicker than that!" Connie razzed.

Rage started to fill Yellow Moissanite's body. Connie is nothing more than a mere human, how is she able to attack and evade so easily? Especially at such a young age. It's almost as if someone taught her advanced sword-fighting techniques...wait a second.

"Connie, who educated you in the ways of sword-fighting?" the amarillo Gem questioned.

"Why does it matter to you?"

"It was that Pearl, wasn't it?" Yellow Moissanite deduced.

"Hm...so what? What does she have do with anything?" Connie inquired.

"Everything" the Homeworld Gem growled as her Gemstone glowed on the back of her left hand.

Yellow Moissanite stood to her full height, and turned her left hand to where the back of it was facing her right side (A human being can't turn the back of their left hand all the way to the right without turning their whole entire arm too. Trust me, I tried, and it hurt). The golden Gem then raised her right hand, and pulled out a one meter long Takoba esque sword out of her Gem.

"Ah, my lovely sword. Did you know I designed it after a sword I found on Earth? Of course you don't, you probably don't even care about your own Earth culture" Yellow Moissanite assumed.

"Actually I do. It looks like a Takoba sword, which is used across the western Sahel and among ethnic groups such as the Tuareg, the Hausa, and the Fulani. Or generally speaking, Africa, which is mostly located on Earth's Eastern Hemisphere" Connie stated.

"You...you know about sword history on Earth?"

"I dabble" the human girl confirmed.

"Hmph, let's see how well you talk after I dabble my sword into you!" Yellow Moissanite threatened, swiping at Connie's head.

"Dabble means to take part in an activity in a casual or superficial way. But judging from your anger-" Connie ducked down to avoid her attacker. "That's never going to happen casually" Connie finished, standing back up.

"Stop talking!" the Gem repudiated, continuing her attack on Connie.

The two sword fighters began their clash against each other. Each one attacking their opponent with the same vigor and ferocity. Countering or parrying each offense by appropriate means. Back and forth the two went...until Connie noticed something. Every time Yellow Moissanite blocked, she would use the cutting edge her sword instead of the flat side. Which by doing so would break the Gem's sword!

"Any sword fighter should know that basic information" Connie thought to herself.

Yeah, I stopped right at the good part. Now I bet you all really want me to finish it now. But don't worry, I'm not like most Fanfiction writers who abruptly end their story, and leave the readers wondering about what happens next. Instead I'll hold a poll, a poll for me to either post another update which lists all the synopses for future chapters, or just to leave you all hanging with no clue of what happens next. I'm pretty sure you all would prefer the former, but just in case my judgement is wrong I added in the latter choice too. Now if the majority votes for that final update, then I'll add a sneak peek for the new story that'll replace this one.
