Chapter 14: We are the crystal gems! Part 2
I don't own Steven universe, it's owned by its respected owner or owners
AN: Hey guys, like I said you get to pick who Steven fuses with. So I wrote this chapter to give you guys more time, like I said I need your guys opinions and ideas. Now it could be one of the crystal gems or the OCs on the battlefield currently, so if it's short I'm sorry but like I said need more vote for who you want. Now there will be no battle because I'll have a whole chapter dedicated to one in the next one, because that will be a team battle and I'll have more time to think more about the fusions battle styles and weapons when you give your ideas. Now the fusions you pick will be mostly my own design so if it sucks I'm sorry. So let's go… ON WITH THE CHAPTER! Enjoy!
Also just clear things up, I won't be focusing on a main paring for Steven until the poll has begun and has been ended. So you will see bits of Lapis, Connie, Pearl, Ruby, Sapphire, Garnet, Amethyst probably Peridot and maybe Jasper. Alright, so don't get mad at me if some of you owners of the OCs want those for your paring. It's up to the masses and who's left we'll talk. So when this chapter is done I don't want to wake up to see that a lot of people are piss at me because I want this to be fair. Its not that I don't like getting feedback or ideas from you guys but for real though I don't want people messaging me when I want to relax and to focus on my job, I have a life other than writing… so please calm down. You know I love you guys though, for real I do. Anyways on with the story!
On The Outskirts Of Beach City
"I get a feeling their not in that direction anymore." White Diamond said to himself and to his white feline companion. "What do you think?" White Diamond asking his companion who just let out a yawn. White Diamond let out a yawn too and decided that they could some rest, even though he doesn't need rest he needs to mediate to see how he needs to meet this Steven. Tiger then took them to a cave where she got comfortable and began to sleep with White sitting right by her. He then summoned an old smoking pipe and began to smoke. He couldn't feel smoke or tobacco but it helped him think and because it made him look more wise than people think he is.
"Those old masters from those kung fu pictures seem to know what they're doing except me." White Diamond proclaimed as he continued to smoke with tiger resting on the ground like a baby. He then decided to mediate to feel if Steven and the crystal gems were at Beach City, and he was surprised and shocked to feel that they weren't there. But what shocked him is that he didn't just feel that there weren't just gems coming to Beach City on earth but space as well. He felt like the one coming to Beach City here on earth was familiar, he could tell that it was someone from the war. He then finally figured it out who it was.
"So, Emerald has come to join the coming fray eh?" White Diamond said as he got up and began to walk towards the entrance of the cave. The cool air of the night was refreshing and relaxing, he let out a puff of smoke into the night air. He then proceeded to look in the sky where he felt the other gems signatures, and there were a lot. By his count about… 9 or so. "What about you though, are you enemies from homeworld or are you allies from the stars? Or are you both?" White Diamond said asking himself as he began to think of what to do if things begin to escalate around here. He wasn't about to let his prize student's son die, not if he could help it.
Far From Beach City
"I… hate… running!" Emerald said as she felt like she was going farther away than getting any closer. It's been a long run from Oregon to just to get here, she was a warrior not a runner. She hasn't been to Beach City when it even wasn't even called that. When she was just a random soldier in a war, but at least she had a purpose. Now… it's just going to one place to another. She hasn't visited all of the forests, jungles and plains of this planet. She has finally seen what she was fight for, but it was lonely. She missed being part or with someone or a group. She thought about going back to Rose and the crystal gems, but thought she needed to find her place on this earth just like them.
She's lost many friends, gems, humans and animals. Because of war or old age, she didn't know what made it more painful. But that's what she loved about earth, it made her see that something isn't beautiful if it lasts. And when that things fades away another takes its place and the cycle continues. But not her, she was their to see it through. We all have a purpose, maybe hers is to see things disappear and fade. She had the power to give life, just like Rose, but hers were only for plants. She could make a whole desert into a beautiful forest or plain.
She decided to rest up since she was running a long time, with only so little stops. She stopped in a field of grass, she then put her hand on the ground and the earth began to rumble. After about a few seconds a tree slowly started to come from the ground, after about a minute the tree was now a full grown tree. She then proceeded to climb all the way to the top and sit on a branch. When she finally got up to the top she began to look around her. The Moon was out and shined like a beacon in the night, the field hid crickets that sang their tune in the night. She let out a breath and inhaled the night air, if this was her purpose… than she was ok with that.
At The Kindergarten Battlefield
The air was thick full of anger, anxiety and fear. All coming from all of the combatants, on both sides. The battlefield was quiet, a very eerie quiet that would make even the most battle worn warrior quiver. On the battlefield was the remnants of the crystal gems and their companions, along with a monster. A monster that was once like them a long time ago, but was now a shell of its former self that was experimented on to what you see now. This monster was formed out of anger and rage from more like it. And when fused together, they make the beast that lies before the crystal gems.
Most of the crystal gems knew battle and were no stranger to it, but this battle was different. They weren't fight gems that were ordered to attack them from tyrants but just by pure anger and rage and no idea why their doing it. Just doing it on instinct. And that was more dangerous and unpredictable than any normal gem warrior, these… were just former gems mixed up into a monster with no purpose other that destruction. And by the size of it, how it was just waiting for someone to make a move made it more unsettling and frightening. It was waiting for them, waiting to unleash it fury and anger on them
Everyone was nervous and a little frighten, but none more than Garnet. Seeing so many unwilling gems fusions was awful, but when all those fusions fuse to make this… no words could express her terror and the pain she felt for those poor souls. Tears began to come down her face and she also began to shake in fear and just stood there. The others were another story though. Amethyst didn't know what to do, she didn't know what to do if Garnet couldn't lead her and tell her what to do. She began to have doubt that they might even get out of here alive. Raven seemed to be the most level headed one right now but still was a little frighten.
He wasn't use to fighting, only escaping and helping others with his magic. And he didn't think his magic would help them with this beast. He looked at Garnet and Amethyst and knew that they might not be helpful in this battle. He got ready to do what he could and was ready to use a couple of spells to help them out. Alyssa was scared, she wasn't use to fighting such things before. Humans and maybe a gem or two yes, but this was way out of her league. But she knew that she couldn't back out now or that she wanted to ether though every bone in her body was telling her to. She needed to show the others that she was really a crystal gem like her mom. She aimed her gun at the super mutant ready to fire and to do what she can.
Now with Pearl and Lapis, they were terrified. What they were seeing now is what nightmares are made of, but they weren't going to let it hurt Steven. Even though they had a major dislike towards each other and would gladly let them battle this thing alone, but that would hurt Steven more than this monster ever would. Pearl wasn't going to hurt Steven even more than she already has. Steven has changed but his heart and soul were still the same, and she hoped that when this was over they could talk. But right now she was going to do what she promised Rose, she was going to protect her son.
Lapis would probably never forgive Pearl and the others for locking her away, like she didn't even matter. But that all changed when she met Steven, a kind and goofy boy she has come to call her friend. Now… he was a handsome young man who was ready to give his life for her, just to get her to leave with him. He freed twice and stood up for her more times than anyone she has ever met. She has never felt this way towards anyone before, she couldn't tell what this feeling was but it made her feel wonderful. She could never bring herself to cause him pain, and by letting Pearl and the others fight this thing alone would be suicide.
Steven would be devastated and broken if they would die, even though they lied to him his whole life he probably couldn't bring himself to hate them. He was too kind and honest to do that, if she was close enough for him to try and give his life for her than he would be ready to do that for any of them. He would probably fight the whole homeworld armada to defend them. She then knew what she needed to do, she was going to help them fight this monster. Not for them… but for Steven. She then proceeded to summon her wings and got ready to fight, to repay Steven for all of the things he has done for her.
The last person of the crystal gems was the one to see all of their reactions and how he could feel all their emotions they were feeling. Steven didn't know why but he could feel their fear, pain, bravery, and all of their emotions. He knew the only chance for any of them to survive is for him to fuse with someone. But who was the problem, all of them were very strong and powerful and mixed with his new power and abilities too. It might just give them the edge they need. Now… who though, because time wasn't exactly on their side.
To Be Continued
