A/N: Congratulations, KND Operative Numbah 227, here is Amazonite's chapter. She is a fusion between Turquoise and Hiddenite, two of her OC gems who were the Heaven Beetle and the Earth Beetle. You can find pictures of them on OperativeNumbah227's deviantart. Here we go!

"Steven," Pearl sighed. "We've been here for hours; it's not going to work."

"I just thought I could do it this time," Steven whimpered as he placed the Earth Beetle back into its terrarium. He and Pearl were inside the Burning Room, attempting to heal yet another Gem, this time the Earth Beetle, retrieved from the depths of the boiling lava lakes. He thought it was going to be easy, but the beetle didn't seem to respond to his words.

"It's not your fault," Pearl comforted the young Gem. "Do you come back into the house?"

Steven stared at the beetle's eyes, which were dark and unaware. It seemed so helpless, so alone. Just like all of these monsters. If he can't heal one single Gem creature, how can he heal all of them? How can he make his mother proud?

"Can I stay here?" Steven replied. "I think I know what to do."

"Fine," Pearl said. "If you get hungry, dinner will be ready in twenty minutes."

Once Pearl left, Steven went back to talking to the beetle.

"Come on," the boy coaxed. "Why are you so afraid of?"

The Gem creature didn't hear him, either that or didn't care. This was too difficult, the Earth Beetle was barely aware of her surroundings, barely aware of Steven. All it could do was sit and cower.

"You don't have to be scared," Steven whispered. "I'm right here."

The bug didn't respond.

Steven felt like crying. How foolish he was to think he was like his mother. Rose at least knew how to use her powers. This was just too much, living with such great expectations. The Gems meant well, and Steven wanted to be like his mother as well, but sometimes, he wished it wasn't so hard.

"You don't have to be alone," Steven whispered as he let the brown beetle crawl on his skin. "You're not trapped. It must have been lonely down underground in that volcano, but you're not down there anymore. You're not trapped in a bubble either. You're free."

Steven was almost about to place the beetle inside the terrarium again when he saw a flash of light emit from the beetle's shell. He yelped as the beetle began to glow brighter, the light practically burning his fingers. He dropped the beetle on the ground and the bug began to shape-shift. The blazing light grew in size and began to take another shape, one much more human-like.

A Gem collapsed on the Burning Room's glowing floor. She wore an armor-like outfit, resembling the Japanese warriors Steven has seen in his Lonely Blade movies. Long deep green hair tumbled down from her black helmet, the ends grazing the middle of her back. Her skin was a pale green, slightly bluish in tone and she was roughly the height of Amethyst. The only thing that Steven recognized from the Gem was her dark eyes, same as the ones in her beetle form. That and the blue-green gemstone on her back.

"Rose Quartz?" the former Earth Beetle asked, her voice was raspy but soft.

Steven stuttered in response. "No, I'm her son, Steven."

"Impossible," the Gem scoffed. "Gems can't reproduce."

"Well, my mother fell in love with a human, my dad, and she gave up her physical form to make me," Steven explained. He held up his shirt to reveal his mother's gem. "See?"

"That does sound like Rose," the Gem replied. "No one loved humans as much as her. So am I supposed to take orders from you now?"

"No," Steven blurted out. "Garnet gives out most of the orders. Who are you?"

"Hiddenite," the Gem said slowly, like she struggled to grasp her memories. "I remember something. I was on a scouting mission, but then there was a horrible earthquake. I was stranded; I was trapped underneath the lava. Everyone left me behind." Hiddenite looked around. "Looks like I was rescued."

"Thanks to Garnet," Steven commented. He couldn't contain his excitement. He actually saved a corrupt Gem. He didn't know what made it happen, but he knew he was capable this time.

Hiddenite smiled but then her face turned to pure fear. "Turquoise!" she blurted out. "Where is she? She gets worried when I'm not around!"

"Who's Turquoise?" Steven inquired.

Hiddenite finally noticed the terrarium on the floor next to Steven. The Heaven Beetle crawled around the cage.

"What happened to her?" Hiddenite panicked.

"She's corrupt," Steven explained. "But it's okay, we can fix her."

The little boy took out the yellow-and-blue beetle, remembering rescuing it from the Sky Spire with Opal.

Hiddenite stared at the bug. "You sure that's her?"

"Yeah," Steven said. "Don't worry, it'll be fine."

After a long talk with Turquoise, the bug began to shape-shift its form, just as Hiddenite did. A blue-skinned, white-haired Gem about the size of Ruby and Sapphire appeared from the light. Her pale tresses were tied up in a bun and her eyes were a greenish blue. She was clothed in a long yellow kimono, the floral-embroidered sleeves trailing on the floor. Her sparkling gemstone glowed on her back, and from it extended a pair of glowing wings, similar to Lapis Lazuli's, but made of light.

"Hiddenite, you're back!" Turquoise squealed once she saw her old friend.

The two healed Gems embraced each other, Turquoise almost picking Hiddenite off the ground.

"I thought you were gone forever!" Turquoise gasped. Tears began to spill down her face

"It's okay," Hiddenite said wiping her friend's tears away. "I'm here now, aren't I?"

The two Gems hugged again, an aura of light enveloping them. They laughed as they began to fuse, doing it unintentionally. Steven's pupils turned into stars as he saw them form a Gem fusion with deep-green skin and teal-colored hair, half-up and half-down. Her outfit was a combination of Hiddenite's armor and Turquoise's kimono, creating a flowing green dress with an armored vest. The fusion held up a pair of bladed fans with her two arms.

Amazonite.

"Pearl, you have to see this!" Steven cried, bursting with pride and excitement. She wasn't going to believe this!
