A/N: Lately, all I've been getting is requests for OCs. It's great that so many of you have ideas and that you want me to write them; it's just that it's not possible for me to do all of them, especially if their descriptions are so vague. Don't be disappointed once I get back to doing canon Gem fusions. Here's Lord Nitro suggestion; a fusion between Amethyst and their OC Onyx. Hope you like it!


Homeworld Gems have been scattered about the Earth, ever since Yellow Diamond had found out her precious Cluster has been deactivated. After that, scouts and bounty hunters have been swarming the place, trying to bring back the shards of the Crystal Gems themselves for Yellow Diamond.

Now instead of bubbling various deformed monsters, the Crystal Gems are now hunting down and shattering Homeworld Gems, ones that are far more dangerous that Peridot or Jasper had formerly been.

So the last thing they'd ever expect was for a Homeworld Gem to knock at their door, begging for refuge.

Onyx Facet-3R6I, Cut-8WP: Gem warrior under White Diamond's rule, far beneath the rank of Quartz but far above the rank of a Peridot. Gem placed above her navel. Weapon: a sleek, military-grade rifle.

Her Diamond did not know she was on Earth. And Onyx wanted it to stay that way. She wasn't a very rare Gem so she would easily be shattered. She was sick of the abusive way her Diamond treated her, and knowing that she would certainly not be missed, she decided to abandon Homeworld.

She heard legends of the Crystal Gems, the rebels that were either looked down upon or feared. Onyx felt like she never belonged on Homeworld; so what was there to lose on Earth?

She was a relatively young Gem, not made at the time when the Rebellion started. But she heard rumors and whispers over the past few centuries of her life, and then steadily sneaking peeks at reports from long ago. So she knew all of the Crystal Gems' names and reputations by heart.

Garnet: the forbidden fusion.

Pearl: the former slave of White Diamond (that fact making her especially giddy to see her, bonding over their shared hatred of her).

Amethyst: the defective Quartz warrior who still managed to live up to expectations.

Peridot: the technician who stood up to the mighty Yellow Diamond (and didn't even know she even had a reputation).

Lapis: the legendary adversary, once in Blue Diamond's court, once a prisoner within a mirror for an indefinite time, once a threat to Earth.

Jasper: Yellow Diamond's former second-in-command.

She even knew of Steven Quartz Universe (but at first called him Rose).

It had been her dream to finally find the rebels. And nothing was ever going to get her to leave them be. Besides, Steven found her to be adorable, so there was no way Garnet was going to say no to him (or her).


"You're the first Quartz I don't have to be afraid of," Onyx said gleefully when Amethyst entered the kitchen.

"Uh, was that supposed to be a compliment?" Amethyst asked. It was a regular routine for Hematite; all she did was badger the Crystal Gems with questions.

"You're really lucky you're not like them," Onyx continued. "They just push everyone around and kiss up to the Diamonds."

"Well, don't let Jasper hear that," Onyx said. Luckily, the warrior was on a hunt with Garnet and Pearl, searching for more potential enemies. The Earth had suddenly become a minefield for danger, so deadly that Pearl would rather stick Steven on the Moon Base for an entire week than for him to go outside for two seconds.

Onyx would not stop talking. "So can you summon the same weapon as a regular Amethyst or are you special? What about shape-shifting? Can you do that? Can Pearl do that? Can Steven? Did you ever get to face the Cluster eye-to-eye? Or maybe the correct term is eye-to-eyes?"

Amethyst was getting some sort of déjà vu feeling from this, she wasn't sure where, though.

"All you've been doing so far is asking me questions about Earth," Amethyst interrupted Onyx's long string of questions. "How about to even the score, you tell me a couple of things about Homeworld?"

"H-Homeworld," Onyx stuttered, her pupils dilating. It was the first time she stopped rambling.

"I've never been there and Garnet and the others are kinda touchy on the subject," Amethyst said. "Answer a couple of questions and I'll give you a couple of juicy details about Pearl and Rose."

"Um, sure," Onyx answered.

"Have you ever fused before?" Amethyst asked.

Onyx looked down at the floor. It was the longest amount of silence from the slender Gem.

"What is wrong with Homeworld, man?" Amethyst cried out, throwing her hands up in the air dramatically. "The Crystal Gems and I fuse all the time!"

"Now you can see how different we are from each other," Onyx muttered. "And why I was so desperate to leave."

"What's so wrong with it?" Amethyst asked.

"I guess Gems at home are really afraid of the intimacy fusion brings them," Onyx said weakly. "Not that many Gems are close to each other."

"No wonder Pearl hates talking about it," Amethyst shrugged. She should consider herself lucky not to be amongst those clods.

"What do you do before fusing with someone else?" Onyx asked.

"Um, I guess you just ask them?" Amethyst said. "Homeworld Gems have to make things so difficult."

Onyx bowed her head slightly before Amethyst. "Is this how you ask for permission?"

Amethyst laughed. "Not so stiffly! Wow, you're just like Peridot! If you want to fuse so badly, just say so!"

"I can just say so?" Onyx said in amazement.

The purple Gem nodded. "Come on, what are you waiting for?"

Onyx hesitated a little bit before taking Amethyst's hand. It was so strange to find such a kind Quartz. She expected them all to be so brutish and temperamental. But these were the legendary Crystal Gems. She learned new things from them every day.

The two Gems danced together, Onyx copying what she observed from the sidelines and Amethyst just doing things her way. They then morphed into a glowing orb of swirling light. A new Gem formed when the glow subsided; one that possessed speckled gray-and-black skin and a voluminous mane of silver hair. She had Amethyst's stocky arms but double the amount, and Onyx's slender waist and neck. Four gray eyes blinked in unison as the fusion surveyed her surroundings.

Hematite.

A collision of feelings formed within Hematite's combined mindset. Onyx's unfamiliarity of fusion and Amethyst's proud triumph of teaching a Gem something blended together.

But there was one thing they agreed on.

"Steven, you have to check this out!" cried Hematite.
