Please Enjoy.
Chapter 14: Fusion Training/Brotherhood Brawl
One month had passed after Prism and Lapis agreed to live at the barn together and so far everything is going well.
Today after getting the last bit of his belongings from the Temple Prism went to go take a shower Greg built in the back so that he or Lapis could freshen up whenever they needed too. While feeling the nice warm water over his body Prism began to go into his thoughts.
"Yellow Prism is still out there and I don't know what he might be up to. Maybe he could try to restart the Kindergartens or manage to contact the Diamonds to bring reinforcements. Those are some deep theories, I'll keep those in mind. Plus there's the Cluster, and he might do something with that too. It doesn't matter, Home World isn't going to absorb the life from this planet or another. I need to find a way to tell them that we can bring peace and harmony to other worlds and spare their civilians instead of killing them and absorbing their life energies." He said before turning the shower off and taking in a deep breath.
After getting out and putting on his pants and shirt Prism went to go get his jacket and goggles while seeing Lapis read one of the books he gave her. "Hey Lapis." Prism said while walking in. "Hey. How was your shower?" Lapis asked. "It was pretty good. I did some thinking for a little bit before letting the water clear my head." Prism replied while tying his shoes.
"What were you thinking about?" Lapis wondered. "Nothing serious, don't worry about it." Prism replied.
Lapis then went behind him and hugged his back while squeezing her chest against it. "Prism please tell me. I read in your book that when a girl and a guy are together they shouldn't keep any secrets and should talk to each other when one of them is concerned." She said calmly with slight concern.
Feeling her on his back made Prism feel a little uneasy at first, but then he slowly placed his hands over hers before speaking. "It's about my other brother Yellow Prism. I have this feeling he's somewhere doing something that could cause harm to this planet." He admitted. Lapis closed her eyes before replying, "We'll find him and prevent him from doing that. No matter what happens we can protect this planet." Prism thanked Lapis for saying that, he then gained an idea before Lapis released him. "Hey do you want to do some training as Aquamarine?" He asked.
"Training?" Lapis replied with a confused look. "Yeah, we haven't been our fusion since we defeated Pax and Jasper so I thought we should help keep up our strengths and see what other surprises she can do." Prism explained. Lapis was a little unsure about it and began to think, then after ten minutes she gave Prism her answer. "Okay, let's do this."
The two then went outside to begin. "Are you ready?" Prism asked. "Yeah." Lapis replied. Both her and him then interlocked their hands and danced a little before coming in close. A bright light engulfed them both before merging their bodies together to form Aquamarine.
"Alright, let's fly." She said before putting on her goggles and summoning out her water wings before they got changed into crystal wings.
Taking it high into the sky Aqua flapped her wings hard before going into the air with a sudden burst. She then started soaring while looking down at Beach City before taking in another flap and gaining more speed. "This is so incredible! Lapis' wings combined with Prism's speed makes me look like a sonic jet. I love this feeling sooo much." Aqua said, feeling the wind in her face and loving the blissful air flowing through her body.
She then went straight up into the sky and began to dive bomb straight into the ocean below. She dismissed her wings and was really out at sea so that the deep water could cushion her fall. In a splash Aqua fell into the depths below, but then she quickly raised up and landed on the water as if it was solid.
"That was so much fun. So I know that I've got speed and water on my side, but what about combat?" She said to herself while looking at her hands. "Maybe the others can help." She added before taking off toward the Temple, but just as she was leaving the ocean she developed a small headache. Aqua wondered what it was before looking back at the ocean and saw that nothing was there while flying away.
Arriving at the Temple shortly after, Aqua knocked on the door before it got answered by Steven. "Aquamarine!" He yelled in joy before hugging her legs. "Hey Steven, it's been a while huh?" She replied kindly while hugging him back.
"It sure has. Oh Connie's here too if you want to say hi." Steven said before releasing himself and looking over at Connie who was reading a book. Steven took Aqua's hand before taking her over to his friend and as Connie looked up to look at her she had no idea who she was.
"Connie this is Aquamarine. She's a fusion of Lapis and Prism." Steven explained. Connie went wide eyed from hearing that before growing a smile. "Wow, really?" She asked. "Yes I am." Aqua replied. "I like your voice." Connie commented. "Thank you." Aqua replied.
"So what brings you by?" Steven asked. "Well Prism thought that I should get some training done before looking to where Yellow Prism was, so he and Lapis made me and I've spent the last three hours flying in the sky." Aqua explained.
"Cool. Hey can me and Connie join you?" Steven asked. "I don't know. I was now going to work on my combat skills at the Sky Temple and practice using Pearl holograms, so it might be a little dangerous since I don't fully understand what else I'm capable of." Aqua replied, unsure whether taking Steven with her is a good idea.
"But I want to see, and maybe Stevonnie and Garnet can help you out." Steven said before giving Aqua puppy eyes.
Aqua caved in before she agreed to let Steven and Connie go before going off to get Garnet.
Minutes later at the Sky Temple Garnet felt glad that she asked to train with fusions. "Okay before we begin, we need Stevonnie." She said looking at Steven and Connie.
Both kids nodded before dancing a little and merging into one. "Okay. Now Aqua and Stevonnie, I would like to see how well you work together. So let's test out your teamwork." Garnet said before summoning out five Pearl holograms.
The five of them fused together to form an even bigger version of itself. "Come at me children." It said while wielding two blades.
"Are you sure you can handle this?" Aqua asked Stevonnie. "You bet. I've been practicing with the others for a while so I'm ready for this." Stevonnie replied while summoning out her sword and shield.
Aquamarine nodded to that before the two rushed in together to take down the giant Pearl hologram. Steven blocked every attack it threw at her while Aqua dodged them using her reflexes, then the hologram kept on swinging it's swords around while hoping to get a decent hit on either of them.
It didn't work as Aqua and Stevonnie kept dodging and blocking before the two finished the hologram off using a double strike.
"Excellent work. Now try fighting each other." Garnet said, impressed by their teamwork. Aqua and Stevonnie looked at each other before stepping back a few inches to get prepared.
"Let's see what you're made of. And try to make it interesting." Stevonnie said while getting into a stance. "Okay then, it's time to find out what else I can do." Aqua replied before putting on her goggles.
Two minutes later the two girls rushed at each other before Stevonnie swung her sword, however Aqua blocked the attack using her crystal wings. Stevonnie kept swinging and the wings only got a few scratches; not a single attack did anything to them. Aqua then took flight before looking down at Stevonnie, "Don't always focus on the offense, focus on the defense and use both your brains and brawn." She said, giving out advice to her opponent.
Stevonnie never thought of it like that before, so she thanked Aqua for the advice before Aqua dived down and landed a kick at her. As Stevonnie got up she glared and smirked at Aqua before rushing at her. Aqua tried to land more attacks using her wings, but they didn't work as Stevonnie protected herself against the attacks using her shield. Feeling like she could do something else Aqua spread her wings out wide before giving them a big flap and sending crystal shards straight at Stevonnie. Not expecting this Stevonnie began to run and defend herself, afterwards she pointed her sword at Aqua before they continued fighting.
Hours later the two girls were now completely exhausted as they looked at each other while heavily breathing. Then they both fell back while defusing as Garnet was now seeing Prism, Lapis, Steven, and Connie. "That was amazing, thank you brother." Steven said before getting up.
"You're welcome little brother." Prism replied before doing the same and helping Lapis up. "That was really fun." Lapis said with a smile.
Garnet then went down to see everyone and told them that she was proud of their progress. "You all have done great, now if you all want to continue this then I'm always available." She said with a grin before everyone nodded.
"What do you think bro, same time next week?" Steven asked Prism. "Sure. What about you Lapis?" Prism replied before looking at her. "I'm in. Also I want to sleep with you again Prism." She replied before they began to walk home. "Okay, but I did add a second bed so you're gonna have to learn how to sleep on your own. But I don't mind it from time to time." He said while grinning a little.
Steven and the others wondered what they were talking about, but thought it was their own business and they shouldn't ask.
End of first half.
Prism, Lapis, and Peridot were walking through Kindergarten Prime while trying to find Yellow Prism, but so far they haven't gotten any success.
"Are you sure he might be here brother?" Peridot said to Prism.
"Yes. The Kindergartens were always where Ypex went every time we began to absorb energy from a planet. He's here somewhere, I can feel it." Prism replied.
"Ypex?" Peridot and Lapis questioned.
"It was the only other name I could think of for him than always calling him Yellow Prism, plus he's more of a technician than a fighter so that's why I called him that." Prism explained.
The girls understood it now as they continued walking, then Prism stopped them in front of a large drill machine. "What's wrong?" Lapis asked. "Every time I see that thing it reminds me of what I did. Plus I didn't want you two to get close to it." Prism replied.
"Brother we can handle ourselves, you don't need to worry." Peridot acknowledged. "Okay let's put it to the test then." Prism replied before the girls gave him raised eyebrows. "You two scout here and another section while I go look ahead. Here, if anything happens call me and I'll come rushing in." Prism said before giving Peridot a cell phone.
"What's this?" She asked. "A cellphone, it has my number in it. When you or Lapis are in real danger you can't handle then push the middle button, look for my name, hit call and I'll be right there." Prism explained.
Peridot understood and promised to take good care of it. Prism then summoned out his Crystalline boots before zooming off through the rest of the Kindergarten while Lapis and Peridot were together.
"So...how are things between you and my brother?" Peridot asked, making small talk while searching for Ypex. "Okay." Lapis replied. "Anything different? Any abnormal anomalies?" Peridot asked. "No. Just staying together and enjoying some time alone." Lapis replied.
Peridot nodded to that and thought it was nice, then after check a boulder she looked at Lapis to reveal something she didn't know about. "Are you sure your love for my brother is real?" She asked. Lapis went wide eyed from hearing that before glaring a little at Peridot. "Of course it's real, why wouldn't it be?" She replied assertively.
"It might be because of your fusion." Peridot explained. "What's that got to do with any of this?" Lapis asked. "Well when a two or more gems merge their bodies together their emotions are converted into the new being as it's own. Plus I know him better than you and he knows that he likes me more than you." Peridot said, convincing Lapis to leave Prism alone.
Lapis couldn't believe what Peridot was saying to her and she didn't want to believe any of her words, but then a thought came to her. "What if she's right. Was fusing with him made me fall in love with him? Did it make me care for him? No! It's not true. Prism cares a lot about me and told me himself that he would protect me no matter what." Lapis thought while flying through the Kindergarten while Peridot followed and hoped that her little plan would work.
Meanwhile as Prism was speeding through the canyon with determination in his eyes. Then in a split second he began hearing a voice before taking cover behind a boulder. "Log Date Number 30. This is Prism. I've been stuck on this planet for nearly a month and haven't found a way to get back home. The Cluster's progress and retrieving my brother were my only instructions from Yellow Diamond, but thanks to complications everything has gone completely against the plan. However I've managed to conduct and observe the fusion experiments underground. The process is working perfectly and some have managed to form early, but final results will be known in a short time. Ending Log." Ypex said while rising up to the surface and using a device built into his left arm to construct his objectives.
While looking around Ypex seemed alone until Prism came walking from behind the boulder. "Ypex!" He called out. Yellow Prism was confused by that name before speaking. "Hello again brother. Is everything alright considering what you've done to me? And I suspect you did something to Pax." He said assertively.
"He's at the bottom of the ocean with Jasper. Me and Lapis took care of them, now it's time to do the same with you." Prism replied before walking toward Yellow Prism. "Whatever you do to me won't go unnoticed to the Diamonds. I'll find a way to connect them and they'll know what's best for this planet." Yellow replied while stepping back a few feet.
"I'm not going to fight you. You and the Diamonds need to learn that this planet is peaceful and kind at times. The many planets we've encounter, the many lives we killed, and the many civilizations we destroyed will never happen again. Killing and murdering isn't the answer to this problem, it only makes it even worse than it already is. Harmony and co-existence is what we really need. it'll save lives, it'll save many Gems, and no one has to get hurt in the process." Prism suggested to Yellow.
Yellow did not like it at all before replying. "It's not going to work. Whatever the Diamonds desire is what we need to do, no matter what the price is. Think about it, if a human has a bad day then they make a tantrum. If a Gem has a bad day, then they cause a small portion of destruction. Your dream is nothing more than a fantasy brother, but before you disagree I would like to show you something if you let me." Yellow said before offering something to Prism.
Prism suspected it to be something from Home World or it could be a trick, so he went along with it and followed Yellow underground using a hidden elevator.
Around the same time Peridot and Lapis saw what went on between the brothers and quietly followed them even though they were going back to hating each other. While riding the elevator Prism and Yellow remained quiet before arriving to where they were going. It looked like a large area filled will cylinders from the ceiling to the ground.
"What are those?" Prism asked. "Just something I was working on while being trapped on this planet. Behold, my fusion experiments." Yellow said before revealing his creations.
Prism and the girls who were hiding behind him were horrified by what they were seeing. It was several pairs of body pairs merged together. An arm was with another arm, a foot attached to a hand, and legs attached to arms.
"My god. What have you done?" Prism said with a shocked tone. "This is punishment for the Rebellion Rose and the Crystal Gems made. They used fusion as an advantage, so I thought about experimenting on them to see what the outcomes would be." Yellow explained.
"That's...that's insane. That isn't fusion at all. It's a passion that's a choice, you can't force Gems to fuse together. When I fused with Lapis I gave her a choice and I didn't force it on her. She willingly accepted me and I completely accepted her, but this...these things are nothing more then horror figures." Prism said while glaring at Yellow.
Lapis heard was Prism said and felt happy. From that point Peridot was now understanding a little bit on why Prism liked her so much, and there she began to frown a little; thinking that she wasn't important.
Yellow went wide eyed to hear that Prism was able to fuse, but then he just walked up to him and stared into his eyes. "None of this would happen if Rose Quartz didn't kill Pink Diamond." Yellow said firmly.
Prism grew wide eyed from hearing that before speaking. "My mother would never do that. If she did then she had no other choice." Prism replied with the same tone.
"Looks like we'll have to agree to disagree." Yellow said before stepping back and summoning out two twin blades from his wrists and getting into a stance. "I try to avoid combat whenever possible, but I still know how to defend myself brother. Once I kill you I'm going after the cluster and this planet will be nothing more then a husk." He added with a angered voice.
Prism glared at him and balled up his fists before summoning out his crystalline boots. "Alright then brother. If I can't persuade you, then fighting is the only option." He said, getting prepared to fight.
Yellow and Prism then charged at each other to fight. Yellow showed some good swordsmanship with his blades as he only made a strike on Prism at the perfect angles. Even though Prism gained some rough cuts and a few scratches he wasn't going to let Yellow. Instead of always using his legs Prism used them a little less and used more of his fists as he landed some into Yellows stomach and chin. The two then stood back before charging again and each threw blow after blow after blow until Yellow kneed Prism in the face and the both of them continued their fight above ground.
Lapis and Peridot followed them and as much as they wanted to intervene, this was Prism's fight and they both thought to only get in the way when he really needed help.
Above ground Prism bounced on the soil before crashing into a large rock. "I'm impressed that you're using your head more then your brawn." Yellow commented. As Prism got up he replied, "Thanks, and I see you've got some fight in you." He and Yellow then continued, and Yellow's blades clashed with Prism's boots numerous times until the two struggled while being in a arm lock. "Betraying us was a grave mistake. Why can't you understand that Home World needs to cause pain in order to survive?" Yellow said. "No. There has to be another way. We don't have to keep fighting like this, it'll only make things worse and cause more harm to each other rather then bring harmony." Prism replied before the two released themselves.
"You know I've gotten to learn a lot about you from that sister of yours. She instantly told me and Pax everything, and all it took was a blade to the neck." Yellow said while grinning. Hearing that made Prism angry as he was never going to forgive Ypex for doing that. He then had decided to put an end to this fight by using his super speed and creating a small vortex around Yellow.
Yellow couldn't land a single hit on him now, then he began to lose signs of oxygen before falling onto his knees and gasping for air. Even though he wanted to kill him, Prism couldn't as it wouldn't make him better then Home World. So he stopped the vortex before giving Yellow a powerful punch in the face. "Go on, finish me off. I know you want to." Yellow demanded. "No! I'm no killer any longer. Surrender now and come with me if you know how to stabilize the Cluster or run off and we can continue this another time." Prism said, giving Yellow a choice.
Obviously Yellow dismissed his blades before running off to get healed. "This isn't over. We'll meet again." Yellow yelled out. "And I'll be ready for it." Prism replied.
After he left Lapis and Peridot appeared behind Prism and they both hugged him from what he went through. Peridot then saw Prism's black eye before replying. "Brother are you alright?" "Yeah. I'm alright, what about you two?" He replied. Lapis and Peridot looked at each other before looking back at him.
"Yeah, but while we were searching for Yellow I...kinda made Lapis upset." Peridot said, admitting what she did. "What did you do?" Prism replied while crossing his arms. "I...I...thought after you and Lapis fused together you would start caring more about her then about me." Peridot added, feeling sad for her actions.
Prism went wide eyed from hearing that saw Lapis frowning too. He then took in a deep breathe before speaking. "Girls. I care about the both of you. Lapis Lazuli, you're my girlfriend. Peridot, you're my sister. The both of you are important to me. I don't like it when you two fight as much I need to fight to protect this planet. And I see you both haven't learn how to get along just yet, so I've come up with a solution to that."
"What is it?" Peridot asked. "You Peridot are going to live with me and Lapis." Prism replied. "What?" Lapis said with surprise. "I'm not mad at you two, but I am disappointed. Especially after everything I learned, so for right now let's go home and we can figure this out tomorrow." Prism replied before walking off.
Neither Peridot or Lapis wanted to urge about that since Prism wasn't in the best mood right now, so they listened and followed him straight back to the barn to figure out this side situation.
End of second half.
End of Chapter 14.
I hope you all enjoyed it.
Also what did you think of the nickname for Yellow Prism? If you all don't like then that's completely okay because I really need another name for him.
I've also witnessed that you all want more from this story. Well if it's more you want, it's more you will get because since it's almost near the end of the month I've decided to maybe add the next chapter really early.
It might happen.
Remember to leave me a review if you want and PM for any questions.
See you guys soon.
