CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE: The Renegade Gem

The attack was lightning fast. And Jewel took particular pride in her speed, strength and precision of her attacks. She surged forward, holding her sword behind her and once she got close, she swung her blade. Obsidian managed to block this attack, and immediately after the block, Jewel swung again. And again. And again. And again. She swung so many times so quickly that Obsidian was having a difficult time keeping up with the speed of her attacks. Once she got too close, Obsidian blocked another swing and threw it to the side, then swinging his trident across the air. Jewel dodged this and saw an opportunity present itself in the form of an opening. She stabbed at the armor of Obsidian's side. The jet black gem staggered back by the attack, and Jewel attacked at four more opening in rapid succession. Obsidian caught on quick enough and blocked another stab, again throwing it aside and bringing his trident down on Jewel's arm, lifted up to foolishly block this attack.

However, Jewel did something no gem could possibly do. A shiny metal piece, like tin, appeared on Jewel's arm in the round shape of a shield. This managed to deflect the trident strike, sending the weapon off to the side. Jewel brought her barrier up to bash Obsidian's face, sending him surging backward. The sudden stun brought up an opening in Obsidian's defense, and Jewel swung for the weak spot. Traversing for a few feet, Jewel managed to hit off a few slashes before Obsidian blocked a swing with the trident and swung back. The gem flew back a few feet and recovered, suddenly getting a real glimpse of her opponent's capabilities. Immense strength, really fast reflexes and quick recovery. "You know, I'd thought Blue Diamond would be here," Jewel taunts. "I guess I'll just shatter you instead."

"You wish, clod!" Obsidian snarls, running forward to attack Jewel once more. The black gem swings the trident multiple times, Jewel stepping back to dodge each swing. On the sixth swing, Obsidian stabs the Obsidian into the ground which Jewel jumps on top of the trident head and backflips off, kicking Obsidian in the jaw. Jewel lands a bit away, flipping her sword around her hand.

"I've seen the world in a small amount of time," Jewel says. "The mighty and immovable Homeworld are losing a war against a militia. Obviously, you didn't take into consideration nuclear weapons, the wiry warfare of the human race and the immense amounts of determination. A war which was obviously supposed to take days, is taking weeks to complete." Obsidian, in rage, runs forward again and swings the trident, which Jewel blocks with her sword. "And you're losing. Pitiful." Jewel takes this moment to make the silvery metal wrap around Obsidians feet, and Jewel brushes the trident off to the side, then leaping back a small bit. Then, the metal wraps around her lower leg and she does a roundhouse kick to Obsidian's cheek, followed by an upward kick to the chin, sending him backward with the amount of force. Jewel then does two swings to the chest, leaps up from the chest and does a downward slash, having Obsidian be massively stunned.

After this, Obsidian grabs Jewel's leg and throws her toward the gems's side of the battlefield, charging after her. Jewel grabs a Titan Robonoid and throws it at Obsidian at the last second sending him flying back with the massive explosion. But the explosion was not from the Robonoid. There were tons more explosions going off on the Homeworld's battlefield. And they were coming from flying machines that start flying throughout the battlefield and some even started flying away. Within seconds, Obsidian yells "Retreat!" and the gems start to run away. Many of the opposing gems did not get away, as the human forces managed to pick some off before they got in any vehicles and ran away. But before Jewel could run after them, a human appears in front of her and pulled out a small stick looking object, which then extended into a longer stick, which the human used to smack Jewel in the face with. Jewel, staggered by the attack, falls to the floor face first. When she rolls around, the human has pulled out a small firearm and is aiming at her gem with it. More humans in similar attire come with similar firearms.

"Don't move," The human says. "If you even think about doing anything, my team will open fire." Then, two more humans except smaller and in different attire run forward, in front of the Major.

"Major, what you are doing," the female says. "That gem just saved our bacon!"

"Yeah," The male says. "Our bacon nearly got smashed!"

"Sorry, kids," The one called Major says. "It's a gem. We don't know what its motives are or if it is human friendly. Standard protocol."

"This gem destroyed a Communications Hub in the Himalayas," Steven yells. "I don't think she will pose any threat," The boy turns his head toward Jewel, looking stern. "Will she?" Jewel looks around, and sees everyone's defense tighten. Even the girl, who was carrying swords, puts them up in a fighting position. Concerning everything, all Jewel really wanted to do was get back at the gems. Everything else would shatter for all she cared. But seeing that the gems are trying to capture Earth, and losing, this could really be the break she was waiting for. Anything to get back at Blue Diamond anyway.

"I'm not looking for conflict with the humans," Jewel says. "Just the Homeworld." The human boy smiles, the girl drops her guard but is still glaring daggers but the other humans have not dropped their firearms. Jewel gets up and looks down on the short, black haired human.

"I'm Steven," The boy says. "The girl is Connie and the tallest guy is Major Hamada. We have a lot of work to do so we better get moving."

Jewel's character will get more complex as we go on. Hopefully. But anyway I hope you liked this chapter. Sorry I have not uploaded in a while. School is on a tough schedule. But hey, in a while I'll be on Summer Break! But that's also the time band starts. Well, I'll try my best to keep updating my page. See you then.
