Hello everyone, here is a new chapter for A Gem's Legacy.
I've already decided what name to call Prism's and Lapis' fusion. If you like it that's cool, if not then that's alright too just don't be a jerk.
Anyway, please enjoy.
Chapter 12: Closure/Learning the Roots
In the aftermath of what took place previously, Prism and the others had met other Gems from Home World. They restored his lost memories to reveal that Prism use to be a elite guard for the Diamonds and had killed numerous aliens many years ago.
The other Prisms were tough and so was Jasper, but thanks to Prism and Lapis fusing together they've managed to defeated most of them. Yellow Prism escaped when Steven and the others took control of the ship to go back home, and only time will tell when he'll come back.
Back on Earth everyone was now staring at the fusion of Prism and Lapis. "Bro...Lapis...is that you?" Steven asked while walking up to the girl.
The girl giggled a little before speaking. "No. Those two are in here. I am they, we are one. So you're talking to a different person dear." She said while pointing at her heart.
"I still can't believe this is happening. Prism finally managed to fuse." Pearl said, unsure how to handle this new Gem.
Amethyst was happy to see it and Garnet was very happy. She walked up to the fusion before raising her hand and offering it to her. "It's nice to meet you, but what is your name?" Garnet asked.
Before the girl could answer Greg suddenly appeared. "Steven!" He yelled. Steven turned around and saw his dad before rushing up to him and hugging him. After breaking it Greg noticed the strange girl and asked who she was too.
The girl thought about it for a few seconds before answering. "Call me, Aquamarine." She said.
Hearing this sounded pretty awesome, plus it kinda fit her as well. Glad to hear that Aquamarine then told everyone that it was now time for her to go before she glowed and Prism and Lapis appeared while their hands were intertwined.
"Prism?" Greg said with confusion. "Hey dad, you okay?" He asked. Greg nodded before being surprised that what he saw before was a fusion of him and Lapis.
Prism was going to say something else, but then he turned his attention to Peridot and noticed her damaged body. "Sis are you alright?" He asked with concern.
"I'm good, but my Limb Enhancers are broken." She replied before one of her arms fell off.
Prism took a step forward to go help her, but by doing so he felt a rushing pain in his right leg. Apparently while he and Lapis were Aquamarine his body was stabilized, but now that he's back the pain came back too.
As he fell onto one knee everyone grew concerned for him and went to help, then Lapis took some water from the ocean and wrapped a small portion of it around his leg before making it solid.
"Thanks Lapis." Prism while smiling at her. "You're welcome." She replied, returning the smile. Afterwards Prism carefully walked over to Peridot to see how she was doing and noticed that all of her Limb Enhancers were damaged and that she was now shorter.
"Oh my god. You look so cute." Prism said before picking up Peridot like a baby. "Prism put me down this instant." Peridot demanded. "What's the magic word?" He replied. Peridot didn't know how to respond to that so she made a guess, "Please?" Hearing that Prism placed her down.
Peridot felt embarrassed that she was shorter than him now, but on the bright side she was very happy that he was okay. Everyone was glad to be together again, however looking around at the wreckage from the ship meant that it was going to take a lot of work to clean it up.
Steven then told Greg about what happened in space, how they fought other gems, how Aquamarine defeated a fusion of Japer and Pax, and mentioned that Prism got shot.
Greg was completely horrified from hearing all of this. "Steven, you know I'm very supportive to you and Prism but this is too much. I'm glad you both are okay, but I don't think I can handle this." He said before going into his van and trying to calm down.
Prism went up to Steven and asked why their dad looked like he was going to have a heart attack before hearing that he had learned about everything they went through. "Steven, I think it's best we just keep this between us okay. I mean me getting killed is a bad thing for dad to hear, but hearing that you were also getting taken is a little worse. So promise that you'll not say anything to anyone about this." Prism asked before Steven nodded.
The next day Steven walked through town to see that everything was in a wreck. He was also getting a lot of calls from Connie on his cell phone and got very nervous about answering it. A while later he went up a cliff to see the entire beach covered with fragments of Gem tech. Ronaldo appeared shortly after and informed him that everyone can go home now since mayor dewy is calling everyone back into the city.
Steven was a little happy about that, but at the same time he was concerned about everything that had happened to him. Ronaldo kinda understood what he was going through, but at the same time he didn't and left to go write some stuff for his blog.
Meanwhile with Prism, he was in the house healing a little before using his own powers on himself after Lapis removed the water cast. "Are you sure you're okay Prism?" She asked with concern. "Yeah I'm good, my leg works again." He replied before doing a kick to test his leg.
Even though Prism was fine physically, he wasn't mentally as he slowly began having flashbacks on the killings he committed for the Diamonds. At that moment he was now quiet before going over to the window to look at himself. Lapis and Peridot were getting worried for him and so were the other Gems, but after Steven came in the Gems began thinking about what they were going to do with the scrap metal outside.
"We'll keep the human off the beach. They don't understand our technology and could seriously harm themselves. It's best if they're kept in the dark." Prism said, sound odd than how he normally speaks.
"Maybe we should get a new fence. With barbwires." Pearl suggested. "Oh, how about we build a moat. I could be the crocodile...jazz hands." Amethyst said while changing her face into a crocodile. "No." Garnet replied. "Why not?" Amethyst asked. "Because, you always say you'll be the crocodile but you never commit." Pearl explained. "No fences either." Garnet added. "Garnet." Pearl replied. "Steven and Prism need to see their father and their friends." She said.
"No we don't. I'm no longer hanging onto the clutches of my humanity. My brother told me that I had to toughen up, so that's what I'm gonna do." Steven said with a serious tone.
"Prism, did you really say that to him?" Pearl asked. Prism didn't look at her as he was just staring at his own reflection. "Brother? Are you okay?" Peridot asked. Prism balled up his fists before having more flashbacks about everything he did, then in a instant he glared at himself before punching the glass and making a crack on it.
Everyone saw this and got surprised. Prism then took in some breaths before speaking. "Sorry, I need some air." He then left the house to go outside to help clear his head.
"What's gotten into him?" Amethyst asked. "Prism had regained his previous memories and by the results it looks like they weren't good ones." Garnet replied. "I'll go talk to him." Pearl said before Garnet stopped her from leaving the house. "No, Lapis should. She is his first and it's if she talks to him." She said while looking at Lapis.
Lapis was a little nervous about that, but she nodded to the suggestion and went out to find Prism. A while later on the beach Lapis found Prism sitting on the beach near the ocean.
"Prism." She said while walking up to him. "Hey Lapis. What are you doing here?" He asked. "I came to check on you. Do you want to talk about it?" She asked with concern in her voice before sitting next to him. Prism thought about it for a few seconds before speaking. "Lapis. Who am I?" He asked. "You're Prism, the guy who saved me from my prison, got shot by Pax, and the one who fused with me to become Aquamarine." She replied.
"That's not what I meant. I mean, what am I suppose to be? How can I ever live knowing that I've caused so much harm across the universe?" He replied, going into detail into what's really bothering him. "You aren't that Gem anymore. What happened in the past is the past. I may not know much about you, but when we became Aquamarine I understood your feelings, your struggles, and inner conflicts. I'm here for you Prism and believe that you have changed because I now see the real you." Lapis said with a sweet and reassuring voice.
When Prism heard this he looked at Lapis before she smiled at him. He returned it before they both stood up and shared a comforting hug. "Thank you Lapis." He said softly. "You're welcome, I'll help you through this, we can make it together." She replied.
A few minutes later they broke the hug before turning and holding hands. At the same time they met up with Steven and Connie who were ironically were on the beach too.
Meeting up together Prism introduced Lapis to Connie. "Prism, is this your girlfriend?" Connie asked, noticing their connected hands. "No she's my...actually, yeah." He replied.
"What's a girlfriend?" Lapis asked. "I'll tell you later." Prism replied before Lapis gave him a pouty look.
End of first half.
The next morning as Prism was sleeping in his room he turned slightly before opening his eyes and saw Lapis' face next to his. Seeing this surprised Prism but he remained quiet before carefully getting out of bed at going into the kitchen.
Peridot slept on the couch and noticed her brother up before taking in a big yawn. Lapis came out of his room shortly after before the two of them joined up with Prism as he was getting out some orange juice to drink.
"Uh brother, you do know that Gems don't need food or liquids to survive right?" Peridot asked.
"I know, but I've been on this planet for a while and I've grown a custom to how human act, plus I felt like I needed some." He replied before gulped down the juice.
After he was done he placed the cup in the sink before washing it. "So, what are we going to do today?" Lapis asked. "Well, I have something for both of you. Follow me." He replied before all three of them went into his room.
While there Prism gave Lapis and Peridot two books for the to look over. One was about teenagers and the other was about kids. Basically their manuals on how to act human and what they do, say, etc.
Interested in them the girls gave it a shot and began looking through the books. An hour later they both got finished and returned the books back to Prism. "Isn't there another way for us to get a custom on earth instead of getting totally bored?" Lapis asked, sounding like a teenage girl.
Prism thought about it before coming up with a solution. "Let's out for a while. Maybe some time in Beach city could help." He suggested.
"Sounds fun." Peridot replied before they all left the house.
In Beach City the Gems walked through the town before Prism thought that Lapis and Peridot could use some new clothes. Not sure why but trusting his idea, Lapis and Peridot nodded before Prism took their hands and used his speed to get to a clothing store.
Arriving there both Peridot and Lapis felt a little sick from the super speed, but at the same time they really like it. Prism was glad to hear that, then they all went inside to find some suitable clothing.
Prism had some money so it wasn't a problem, but little did he know about what was going to happen next. Lapis found a lovely light blue dress and went into the changing room to get into it. "Uh Prism, can you show me how to put a dress on?" Lapis asked through the curtains. Prism went wide eyed before blushing a little. "Lapis, I can't do that. it's a earth rule so you're going to have to figure it out." He replied.
Lapis understood and began to figure out her situation. Meanwhile Peridot got out from one of the dressing rooms and was now wearing a panda outfit Prism picked out.
"Explain to me again why you told me to where this?" She asked while feeling embarrassed.
"No reason." Prism said with a grin before taking out his phone and took silent pictures of her. "Now this is so going into the memory book." He said while laughing a little.
Peridot didn't know what he was doing, but went back into the dressing room to put something else on that wasn't a cute Chinese bear. A while later both girls were done and they looked amazing.
Lapis managed to put on the dress and she looked really cute in it, plus she added a teardrop necklace to add a little spunk into it. Peridot wore a white dress shirt, a long plaid skirt, legging socks, dress shoes, and a green bow in her hair.
"So Prism, what do you think?" Lapis asked nervously.
"I like it. You both look incredible." He replied with a smile.
Prism paid for their clothes before they left to explore the rest of the town. While walking Lars and Sadie noticed Prism and met up with him. "Hey Prism!" Sadie yelled out.
Turning around Prism saw who called him and smiled. "Oh Sadie. Lars." He said. "How's it going? Who are your friends?" Sadie asked.
"This is my sister Peridot and this is Lapis my...girlfriend." Prism said while feeling a little embarrassed from saying "Girlfriend" in public.
"Hi." Peridot said. "Nice to meet you." Lapis added.
"Wow Prism, you really are a ladies man. I have you say Lapis looks really nice." Lars commented.
Lapis giggled a little while Prism thanked him for the compliment. Afterwards Sadie asked if they wanted to join up at the Fireworks Show tonight. Peridot asked what fireworks were before Sadie explained that they are little rockets that explode in the air and show beautiful colors.
"Can we go brother, I want to see it." Peridot asked Prism with a big smile. "Sure, sounds fun." He replied while returning her smile.
Sadie and Lars liked that they were coming, Lapis thought it was a good idea too, so they all went their separate ways to carrying out the rest of their days before tonight.
As the sun was setting and night came along, everyone in Beach City gathered around at the shores to see the fireworks. Steven, Connie, Greg, and the other Crystal Gems joined up too along with Prism and his group.
"Bro are you ready for the show?" Steven asked with excitement.
"Sure am. But I'm more concerned on how Lapis and Peridot would respond to them." Prism replied, sounding worried for the girls.
"I'm sure they'll like it. Who doesn't like fireworks?" Steven said.
Prism chuckled a little from hearing that, then a few minutes later the crowd watched patiently as numerous fireworks shot into the air and created a rainbow of colors.
Everyone watched in awe, however Peridot hid behind her brother as she thought this meant Earth was under attack by Home World. Prism reassured her that fireworks were harmless and that as long as he was around nothing was going to happen to her. Peridot smiled warmly at her brother before slowly coming out from behind him and fell into awe from seeing the bright colors from the show. Lapis liked it too, she had also intertwined her left hand with Prism's because she wanted to feel close to him. He noticed this and smiled at her before returning his attention to the sky above.
After it was all over Lapis and Peridot asked Prism if they were good being human. He smiled at them before answering that question," You both did good, but there will be more I'll need to teach you that the book can't provide." Not sure what he meant, both Lapis and Peridot nodded to what he said before they went back to the house.
Even though their first day learning from Prism on acting human was good, Lapis and Peridot still have a long way to go. Things will get interesting later on and who knows what'll happen.
