Hello everyone, here is a new chapter.
I am very impressed by the followers and the reviews on this story. Thank you very much for your support.
No spoilers in this one, so let's begin so you can find out what happens next.
Chapter 11: The Dark Past/Two Become One
Two days had gone by after Prism and the others had heard about the message from Lapis. During that time Prism had placed all of his focus on this other Prism named Pax and concentrating his speed to get prepared for when he appears.
Meanwhile Steven and Greg were watching him while eating some fry bits. Greg was really surprised by how fast Prism was getting and Steven was always in awe whenever he uses his speed.
After stopping Prism took a break and went to go sit with his father and little brother. "Wow, that was really intense to see Prism." Greg said with a smile.
"Thanks dad. I don't know when Pax will come, but when he does I'll send him straight back into space." Prism replied, sounding too confident about what he'll do against the other Prism.
"I can't wait to see that." Steven said with a smile.
Prism returned it before he got up and looked up at the sky before taking in a deep breath, however he then noticed something strange in the far distance. It looked like a large green hand and it was coming straight for them at a slow rate.
"Guys, they're coming!" Prism yelled out.
Hearing this Steven alerted the others and they were already prepared for this as they summoned out four light cannons. "Steven, activate the Light Cannons." Garnet said.
"If every pork chop were perfect, we wouldn't have hotdogs." Steven said through a walky talky.
There were others connected to the Light Cannons and in an instant all four of them activated and fired straight at the mechanical hand, however it had no success.
Seeing this surprised everyone and it also meant that Beach City could be in trouble too, so Steven made a call to Mayor Dewy and asked him to evacuate everyone.
The Mayor thought about it and agreed to do it. A few hours later everyone began getting into their cars and started to leave. Greg was leaving too, Steven however wanted to stay and fight whatever's coming but got a little surprised when Garnet brought out his Cheeseburger Backpack.
"Is that my luggage?" Steven said in confusion.
Everyone looked at each other to see who wanted to tell him that he had to leave to. Prism chose to do it as he walked up to his brother before getting on one knee and placing his hand on his shoulder before speaking.
"Steven, this might be hard for me to say but you have to leave with dad. I know you want to help but this is very serious and I don't know what I would do without the two of you. Please go with dad and get somewhere safe." He said honestly.
"But your apart of the family too bro, I don't want to lose you." Steven replied while feeling upset.
"You won't, I promise. There's something else you need to know Steven. These other Gems are not like us at all, they are the complete opposite of nice and they will cause a lot of destruction to get what they want. Listen to what I'm saying and leave." Prism said, feeling like this is a goodbye.
Steven then hugged his brother tightly while Prism hugged back. Everyone smiled at this before they separated, then Steven nodded to what his brother told him and left the city with Greg.
"The rest of you can't get involved either. I'll take care of it." Prism said to the Crystal Gems before walking up to the shores of the beach.
Everyone was very shocked to hear this, however after thinking it over for a few minutes they ignored his words and followed him. "Prism, you're not doing this alone." Pearl said before summoning her spear.
"You all don't need to do this. This is my problem, not yours." Prism replied.
"No it's our problem. Steven was right you're apart of our family too and family needs to stick together no matter what happens." Garnet said while her and Amethyst summoned out their weapons too.
"We got your back man, I mean how tough could Pax be anyway?" Amethyst said, not knowing what she was up against.
Seeing how they wanted to help and knowing that there was nothing he could do to change their minds, Prism sighed before smiling at them. "Okay then."
Meanwhile on the road Greg and Steven were getting a little concerned about Prism and the others, but they remained focus on what they needed to do.
"Dad, do you think Prism has a chance in fighting whatever's coming." Steven asked.
"Of course. Prism is smarter than he looks Steven, but to be honest the Gems would help out when it's necessary." Greg replied.
"Yeah." Steven said before accidently kicking the lower drawer on the surface. It opened and inside was a picture of Prism, Greg, Rose, and the rest of the Crystal Gems.
Steven looked at it before having flashbacks on his brother. When he was little he would chase him around playing tag, then one day Prism showed Steven his speed for the first time and he was really surprised about it. On his tenth birthday he asked Prism to give him a piggyback ride and while doing it Prism used his speed to go even faster and Steven felt so much joy from it. Then there was that time he and Prism formed a small band in front of everyone and the song they played was amazing.
Thinking about his brother made Steven realize that he had made a mistake in leave and had to go back. Greg didn't want to but Steven kept pleading to him until he punched the van and burst right out of it while forming a bubble around himself.
He then landed near a ditch before Greg went over to check on him. "Steven, are you okay?" He asked with concern.
"I'm good, but dad I have to go back for them. They need me." Steven said, knowing what he has to do.
Greg understood but told him that he didn't want to lose anymore family. However he allowed him to leave and there Lion suddenly appeared to take Steven back to Beach City.
At the same time Opal was using her arrows to put the ship down, however none of them had any effect on it. Prism borrowed some Quartz Stones while holding a slingshot. Sure it didn't seem that it was going to take it down but he had to try something, so he fired off the stones and just like the arrows they showed no effect on it.
"Great this thing isn't going down. At least Steven and dad are safe." Prism said to himself.
"Guys, I'm here!" Steven yelled out.
The Gems turned around and saw him running at them, this also made Opal demerge and everyone asked him why he came back. In response Steven said he couldn't let anything happen to them, plus he also believed Rose's shield could be helpful as well.
As much as any of them wanted to tell him to leave the mechanical ship began to land near the shores. A small orb began to roll out of it and there something came out.
It was two Prisms, one blue and the other yellow. Not only that but a massive figure in the middle of them. "Is this the Prism you told me so much about?" The Yellow Prism said before pulling out Peridot from behind him.
"Peridot." Prism said with surprise.
"I'm so sorry brother, but I had to tell them about you or they would've killed me." Peridot said with sorrow in her voice. "It's okay, it's not your fault." He replied.
"I am. My name is Prism and if you want me then you can have me, but let my sister go." Prism demanded.
"We will, but there's someone else with us that knows you too, brother." Pax said before pulling out Lapis.
"Lapis." Prism said in a quiet tone.
When Lapis saw him she hid her face as she felt scared and frightened by how everything was going on.
"Are you Pax?" Prism asked.
"Yes I am. Do you remember the last time we met brother?" Pax replied.
"No I don't. Also this is a very strange family reunion, I didn't know I had a Gem brother or brothers since there are two of you, and in case you didn't know I kinda lost my original memories a long time ago." Prism said.
"I see. Jasper, will you allow us to help our lost kin remember who he use to be?" Yellow Prism said.
"Go ahead, this is a waste of my time." She replied while going back to the ship.
Yellow Prism and Pax then looked at each other before looking at Prism and said a special word that helps any Prism reclaim his original mission. "Quicksilver."
Hearing this gave Prism a jolt through his head as he fell on his knees and began gripping his head while howling in the air. "Bro, what's wrong?!" Steven asked with worry.
Prism didn't reply has the pain was unbearable, then he opened his eyes and remembered everything that had happened to him. Years ago Prism was a apart of the elite guards to protect all of the Diamonds from any enemy that would attack them. He killed innocent aliens and showed no remorse alongside Pax and Yellow Prism. Everyday at his quarters on Home World Peridot would visit him to see how he was doing and whenever he had spared time he would help her fix any technology that got damaged or wrecked during missions. One day he got sick and tired of killing and proposed a different solution for Home World to keep surviving, co-existence. He asked Pax about it and he easily ignored it. The Diamonds rejected it as well when he told them about it too. So then one day when he was assigned to help out with the War against the Crystal Gems Prism disobeyed all orders from the Diamonds and his kinds to protect the humans. He was eventually caught doing this and got a major punishment from Yellow Diamond who was his commander. She grabbed his head and erased all of his memories before throwing him in a cave for everyone to forget about as he was now an exile and was best abandoned by all Gems from Home World.
"My memories are back. Everything I did is here and what I thought was truly right was rejected. Why? Why can't you except that? It'll help everyone and we don't have to kill to help our home." Prism said to Yellow Prism and Pax.
"Because it was pointless. Co-existence is such a terrible idea and just the thought of it makes me sick." Yellow Prism replied.
Prism grew furious from what he said and used his speed to attack, but Pax stood in his way and summoned out his Crystalline guns to shoot Prism right in the chest. This shocked everyone before Prism coughed up some blood and poofed back into his Gem.
"Excellent brother, he was getting annoying anyway." Yellow Prism said, thanking Pax for doing that.
Pax nodded and picked up Prism's Gem to crush it in his own hands, but out of nowhere he was hit by a splash of water. Then the water itself took the Gem and gave it to Lapis.
Pax saw what she did and attempted to attack her, but then both him and Yellow Prism were blasted by gunfire from Peridot. "You monsters. You had no right doing that, and now you will pay!" Lapis yelled out before summoning numerous water tentacles and aiming them at the Prisms.
Both dodged them and was glad this intervention was getting interesting. Jasper saw what had transpired and had to show a little effort by activating the ship's cannon and aiming it at the Crystal Gems.
"Steven get out of here." Garnet ordered.
"No!" He replied with anger.
"I won't let you risk your life." She said.
"I'm not gonna stand by anymore! You all are my family and they killed my brother!" He replied, upset by what he had saw. Pearl and Amethyst looked worried about what he just said before looking back at the cannon.
"I'M A CRYSTAL GEM TOO!" Steven yelled while getting into the cannon's fire and summoning out his shield to protect himself and his family.
Everyone saw what happened, including Jasper and she took interest in it. "That shield, that weapon. Rose Quartz." She said.
"Why do you look like that Rose, and why do you look so weak?" She asked while facing Steven.
Steven was a little nervous about answering, but then Garnet appeared and immediately threw a punch a Jasper to make her let go of him. "Steven run!" She said before charging at her again.
"Good, this will test to test out the new Gem stabilizers." Jasper said before taking out the device and using it on Garnet.
At first she was given an electric shock, but then parts of her body broke off before she poofed. Jasper then grabbed Steven and told him that she respected Rose's tactics during the War and that right now she had failed before giving him a headbutt.
Yellow Prism and Pax managed to defeat Peridot and Lapis by knocking them unconscious, then they both used stabilizers on Pearl and Amethyst.
"Take them to the cells on the ship. Yellow Diamond is gonna want to see this." Jasper said evily before the Prisms did what they were told.
End of First Half.
Within the hand ship Steven woke up and saw that he was in a prison cell. "*Groan* where am I." He asked himself. "Wait where are Pearl, Amethyst, Garnet and...Prism." He said before remembering what happened to his brother.
He then heard someone singing in the echoes and went to the energy barrier to see what it was. Touching it Steven saw that he could pass through it with ease, then he went to go find the others.
Up ahead Steven saw two cells and went to one of them. Inside it was a new Gem he hadn't seen before, she was red, wearing a red lace across her head, and her hair was in a square.
"Hey there, are you okay." Steven asked her.
"Uh? No, don't look at me. Wait you got out?" The Gem asked.
"Yeah, see." He replied while placing his hand through the barrier.
"It's okay?" The Gem said before attempting to do the same and got stung.
Then the Gem began hearing the singing too before knowing where is was coming from. "Sapphire." She said.
"Please you have to let me out, I need to find Sapphire. Please!" She pleaded.
Steven nodded to her pleading and let her out. The two then began to run through the ship while trying to search for their friends. "Hey do you know where the others are?" Steven asked his Gem friend. "Don't know, don't care." She replied.
They continued going through the corridors, then the Gem noticed a cell up ahead and went to go check it out. "Prism?" She said.
Steven caught up and saw who was in the cell, it was his brother and his body was reformed. Not only that but he had gained a new appearance as well, he was now wearing a light green shirt under his dark green jacket, black jeans, light green sneakers, a belt, and a pair of goggles.
"Brother, you're okay!" Steven said with joy and relieve.
Prism looked at the two of them before getting up. "Steven? Are you okay?" He asked before Steven nodded.
"Don't worry I'm gonna set you free." Steven said before opening his cell.
Prism got out before something came up in his thoughts. "Pax. Yellow Prism." He said to himself with anger.
"Steven go find the others, I'm going to find my sister and Lapis." Prism said.
"But I need you to come with us. They hurt the others, they hurt by face." Steven replied while showing Prism his black eye.
Prism was about to reply, but then he noticed the red Gem next to Steven. "Who are you? Are you another prisoner here?" He asked.
"Ugh, I don't have time for this!" The Gem said in frustration before running off.
"Steven follow her and I'll catch up later. Plus no offense bro, but you really need to toughen up a little, and if you see the other Prisms or Jasper stay out of the way and find somewhere to hide okay." Prism said with a serious tone.
Steven went wide eyed from hearing that, but he nodded and continued to follow where the sound was coming from.
Coming up to a door Steven heard voices before hiding in the corner. "Look we already have our brother and I'm sure Yellow Diamond will be impressed to see him again, but what about the Cluster that Peridot mentioned." Yellow Prism said to Jasper near a cell.
"Stop singing!" She yelled before punching the wall to tell the prisoner inside to be quiet.
"Prism is our main priority and so is Rose Quartz. Go and set a course for Home World, we're leaving now." She said assertively before walking off.
"Ugh, I never thought finding my lost brother will cause this to happen. And I wish Pax was doing the flying but no, instead he's watching the cells in the lower parts of the ship while I'm doing all the work." Yellow Prism said, complaining about what he has to do.
Steven hid from sight before going over to the cell. He saw another Gem and knew that she was the one who was singing. "Hey are you Sapphire?" Steven asked.
"Yes. How did you get out?" She replied.
Steven showed her that he can pass through the barrier and created a hole for her to pass through. Afterwards her and him rushed through the corridors and found the Red Gem.
"Ruby." Sapphire said with joy.
Ruby smiled before the two shared a hug. "Did they hurt you?" Ruby asked.
"No, did they hurt you?" Sapphire replied.
"Who cares?" Ruby said with tears of joy in her eyes.
The two Gems shared a kiss before spinning around in happiness, then a bright glow began to appear around them as they were fusing together and the result surprised Steven.
"Steven, thank you." Garnet said with complete joy.
"Garnet, you're a fusion?" Steven said with surprise.
"Oh I'm sorry, we didn't want you to see us like this." Garnet said, as it was not the right time to introduce Ruby and Sapphire to him.
"Well, did I make a good first impression?" He asked with a smile.
"Oh Steven, we already love you." She replied with a warm smile.
Their reunion was then cut short when Jasper screamed from seeing the empty cell where Sapphire was.
"Steven find the others and get to the control bridge." Garnet said.
"But I don't where they are." Steven replied before Garnet kissed his forehead and gained some future vision to see where Pearl and Amethyst were.
Steven left to go get the others while Garnet stayed behind to fight off against Jasper.
Meanwhile Prism used his accelerated speed to search for what he was looking for and ended up at the low level cells.
"Pax!" He screamed.
Pax turned around and saw Prism out of his cell, he then summoned out his guns and began to shoot at him. This time Prism dodged each and everyone of them before rushing over and knocking him unconscious.
He then took out his stabilizer and used it to break Lapis and Peridot free.
"Prism." Lapis said with joy before her and Peridot hugged him.
"Nice to see you too, come on let's get out of here." Prism said after they broke their hug.
However Pax got up and stood in their way. Prism, Lapis, and Peridot glared at him and got prepared to fight him again.
"It doesn't have to be this way brother. Go back to your cells and be a good little gem so Yellow Diamond can see you again." Pax said, offering mercy before things could get ugly.
"Yeah I don't think so. That witch isn't gonna do anything to me, Lapis, Peridot, or my family." Prism said with a smirk.
"You've been on this planet for too long. It's corrupted your mind, it's filling you with things that shouldn't matter." He replied.
"If it matters to Prism then it matters to me as well." Lapis said with pride.
"Me too. Even though I think it's highly impossible I still believe co-existence is better that murder." Peridot said while pointing her weapon at Pax.
"Then I guess you leave me no choice. Once you're back in your Gems I'll shatter you all." Pax said with anger.
Prism highly thought that would happen, so he smirked at that before all of them charged at one another.
Pax began shooting a barrage of bullets, but Lapis used her water wings to protect everyone before kneeing him in the chin. Prism used a few Tae Kwon Do kicks on him while passing him to Peridot, she shot a torrent of energy at him at did some pretty good damage.
Prism then threw a punch at Pax, however he dodged it before using his guns to hit him in the face, then doing a roundhouse kick that pushed Prism towards the wall.
Pax then used his guns against Lapis and landed some pretty effect blows, but she spit at the ground before going airborne and kicking him in the forehead. Peridot kept shoot her torrent at Pax, but then she had decided to change it up a bit and follow how her brother fights as she punched Pax endlessly before kicking his side.
Clearly this was a completely unfair advantage for Pax, but he's handled worst as he upgraded his guns and made them bigger than before. He then shot a endless area of gunfire that no one could escape from, but Prism and Peridot took Lapis' hands and took airborne again and then all three of then managed to hit him at once and delivered a very powerful finisher.
With Pax defeated it seemed like they'd won, but then a few seconds later the ship began to shake and that meant the others had taken control of it.
"Prism what do we do?" Peridot asked.
"We need to find someplace safe, I think the ship is going to crash." He replied.
Nodding to that all three of them left the lower cell level and made it to the top, then they spotted a empty cell and immediately got into it. Then they hugged each other to brace themselves for impact.
A few minutes later the massive ship had crashed into the temple. Lion appeared and began searching for everyone, then he noticed a small pink ball and used his roar to see what it was.
Steven, Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl were all protected by the pink bubble before it disappeared.
"Wow, I can't believe you were a fusion all the time." Steven said while looking at Garnet.
"Oh you already met Ruby and Sapphire. Garnet, your plan." Pearl said to her.
"Well we were waiting for your birthday." She replied.
"Wait, where's Prism?" Amethyst asked.
Just then Jasper came out of the rubble weak and out of energy. "This isn't over. You only beat me because you're a fusion. If I had someone to fuse then-" She said before hearing something coming out of the rubble.
It was Lapis as she was getting up. She noticed Prism and Peridot next to her and was about to help them, but then Jasper grabbed her hand and hanged her up. "Aw, don't fly away so soon." she said with a evil grin.
Prism got up and saw what was going on, so using all of his strength he had he used his speed to kick Jasper right in the jaw before catching Lapis. "Stay away from her." He said firmly before getting on one knee.
"Why are you so determined to protect that weakling? She's more dangerous than she looks and you still trust her?" Jasper said, saying that Lapis is a monster.
"I do. Peridot too and my family. No matter how hard you try, no matter what comes my way, I will always protect those I care about and nothing is ever going to change that." Prism said.
Lapis was touched by his words before he let her go. Then Prism felt a sharp pain in his right and that meant he couldn't use his speed for a while. To make things worse Pax came out of the rubble as well and was so ready to kill his brother.
"Lapis, I want to fuse with you." Prism said to her. "What?!" Everyone said loudly.
"I'm not forcing this on you, it's your choice alone. But I could use your help and I don't think you're a monster. Your kind, brave, and have guts to go toe to toe in a fight. But like I said you don't have to if you don't want to because no matter what you choose I will still protect all of you from these pricks." Prism said, giving Lapis a choice to fuse with him.
"Ha. You really think fusion will work on us? Our fusions happen when we absolutely trust our partner and they have to trust us in return. What makes you think yours can work?" Pax said, telling everyone that a Prism's fusions are a little different then most Gems.
"I'll do it. I'll fuse with you." Lapis said while looking at Prism.
He smiled at her before slowly taking her hand, then he twirled her around before holding her back down and in a flash they fused. After it faded away everyone saw the results.
Instead of a giant woman the girl was now the same height as Prism, she was teal colored, had on Lapis' crop top with Prism's jeans, sneakers, shoulder length teal hair, and a beautiful face.
"Pax, let's fuse as well and show these traitors what we're made of." Jasper offered.
Pax nodded before the two joined hands and fused. This one was a giant woman, however she was ugly with four eyes, Jasper's hair, light green skin, vest, pants, and have four crystalline guns instead of two.
She pointed them straight at the small fusion and opened fire, but the new girl used Prism's speed to reappear behind her. The giant woman turned around and saw her to see what was going to happen next. Doing that was a huge mistake as the girl summoned out Lapis' wings, however they were then turned into crystal wings as they were getting bigger and being covered in Cyan crystal shards.
The girl then took flight before appearing right in front of the giant woman and glaring at her. She then raised her left arm at the ocean and aimed four water tentacles at her before they got changed into crystal shackles.
'This...won't...hold me for long." The giant woman said, struggling to break out of her binds.
"I am done with you treating these Gems as prisoners. Now you're my prisoner and I will forever place you on this planet for all eternity." The girl said with a soft kind voice while being dead serious at the same time.
She then sent the giant woman at the bottom of the sea and had also incased her entire body in ice as well for extra security. After that she returned to the ground and everyone had their jaws dropped by who they were seeing.
The girl then dismissed her wings before looking at everyone and smiled. At the same time Peridot got out of the rubble with her body damaged a little and asked what she missed.
End of second half.
End of Chapter 11.
I really hope you all enjoyed it because I apologize for it being this long.
Also fell free to listen to any type of music while you read these fight scenes.
Plus I've had this idea for a while and truly believed that my OC's first fusion would be with Lapis.
Next chapter will come in time.
Please Remember to review me for more and PM me for any questions as well.
See you all next time.
