Chapter 21: The Queen of the Ocean

All of the gems stared at the mysterious object in the sky which seemed to resemble the moon. Onyx had said it might've been the moon, but it was just an assumption, he honestly didn't know what it was. He wasn't entirely sure if the moon could even turn blue like this, and as blue as the color of the element cobalt. Then he had a strange thought about what the moons purpose may be.
"If it is the moon...why is it so blue?" Pearl asked.
"I...I don't know." Onyx said. "But, I have a theory."
"Well obviously, it's nothing ordinary." Pearl said. "But, do you think it had something to do with elements?" Then Onyx put a finger on his chin and thought for a moment.
"I wanna say yes, but..." I'm honestly not sure anymore, but it's so similar to Cobalt's skin color and hair color.
"Well if it isn't the moon, then obviously it's some sort of threat." Garnet said as she pounded her fist into her palm.
"Oh c'mon Garnet, it can't be that much of a threat." Amethyst said nonchalantly.
"Amethyst is right, it may just be a universe thing." Steven added.
"Hahahahahah." The ominous laugh sent a chill down Onyx's spine. "Oh how naïve can you imbeciles possibly be?" Onyx was the first the whip around, and when he did, he saw a short, slender woman with long flowing cerulean colored hair. Her eyes were large and looked as clear as glass or a window. She had skin that resembled the color of the ocean during the day, with just a slight tint of green in it. She was also wearing a short white dress, and also seemed to be bare foot. The gems immediately got defensive and drew they're weapons quickly.
"Who are you?" Garnet asked.
"Hm, well... if you must know...I'm the queen of water." She said. "The ruler of deep. My name is..."
"Hydrogen." Onyx said through gritted teeth. Her eyes widened at the sight of him, and her personality changed from arrogant to gleeful.
"Onyx." She said. "It's so great to see you again."
"Save it!" Onyx growled. "What are you doing here?" Then she frowned.
"Hm, that's no way to talk to your friend." She huffed.
"Friends?!" He said. "How about enemies you demon."
"Frenemies then." She said with a slick smile.
"Why are you here?!" Pearl yelled angrily.
"Hm, well...I was here to destroy you all seeing as how Phosphorus couldn't do it, and...I wanted to see Onyx again." She blushed as Onyx rolled his eyes at her answer.
"Where's Cobalt?" Onyx asked. "Tell me."
"Hm...well, in order to get the answer to that...you must defeat me." Then she held her palm out and the water from the ocean was pulled towards her. The water wrapped around her slender body and encase her in it. Then it began to glow aquamarine so bright, the gems had to shield there eyes. After that, she revealed herself in a new attire, which looked like armor made of water somehow. She also had aqua colored armored wings similar to Lapis Lazuli's. Now her white dress had become an aqua colored, strapless armored top that had a heart like curve at the top. Her hair was tied in two high pigtails, in which her hair would reach the back of her shoulders. Her neck had an armored choker, and her arms were dressed with high, aqua colored, armored sleeves that reached her slender shoulders. Her waist was dressed with a long aqua colored skirt that reached her armored boots. Last, was the noticeable raindrop crest on her left trap.
"Woah." Steven said in awe.
"What's your plan!?" Onyx asked.
"Hm...well, I'll tell you." Hydrogen said, then pointed up at the mysterious object in the sky. "You see that object in the sky?" Onyx nodded.
"What about it?" Amethyst asked.
"Well...it resembles the moon, however...we call it Cobalt HQ, and well...lets just say, it'll be beach city's cause of death." She maliciously. Then she shot speeding, glowing orbs of water from both of her hands at all of the gems. Onyx quickly leapt into action and used his earth powers to raise the sand in front of him, and create a solid wall. The wall shielded them from every one of Hydrogen's attacks.
"Guys, I can handle Hydrogen, but you have to get everyone away from beach city, if they are going to try and destroy it, then we need everyone to be safe." Onyx said.
"But we can't leave you here." Steven said. "What if something happens, like what if your gem gets cracked."
"Steven's right, and what if you need to fuse if she becomes to much of a threat?" Pearl said. "It's too risky."
"Guys, don't worry, I'll be fine." The light grey skinned gem said confidently.
"Onyx is right, the people of beach city are more important right now." Garnet said.
"Now go and save the people of beach city." Onyx said. The gems nodded. Garnet grabbed Steven and leapt away from the area. Onyx canceled the sand wall down and then glared at Hydrogen.

"Hm, you think your the only one who can obtain special armor suited for battle?" Onyx questioned. Then Onyx chanted the words for the suit of armor he needed. The sand below him wrapped around his ankles and then encased his body in the light tan substance. Then it began to glow a bright beige color, and then revealed Onyx in his new form. His chest was protected with a sleeveless, armored, beige top. His hair was left untouched, but his arms had two armored cuffs. His waist was dressed with the same black pants he wore in his original form, but his calves were covered with armored, beige kick pads. His gem was still located on the back of his neck, and he quickly drew his rock shurikens.
"Hm, so you wanna play that way Onyx." She said. "Fine by me." Then she snapped her fingers and a long, golden trident warped into her hands.
"Is that?" Onyx said in awe. "Neptune's trident?"
"Hm...well, you could call it my weapon, or...the queen of the ocean's trident." Then Onyx snapped out of his state of amazement, and quickly got into his fighting stance, and Onyx glared at her one last time before he went on the attack.
