NOTES: This chapter will contain some swearing.
Chapter 36
Steven and Lapis turned around…and saw a green figure, standing next to the almost demolished barn, holding an arm out like it was a gun…green smoke was coming out of this figure's arm. Lapis and Steven gasped as they recognized this figure…a figure they all believed to be dead…and yet, this figure was just standing there…
Peridot.
She wanted to warn them…but she couldn't…
She…couldn't do anything to stop herself. Hawkeye just laughed as she watched from the background.
STEVEN: Oh my God, it's-
LAPIS: Peridot?! IT'S PERDIOT SHE'S ALIVE!
Peridot starts to charge up her arm enhancer, ready to shoot again. Lapis smiles at the sight of her love…but it soon quickly fades as she could see something was wrong.
LAPIS: Peridot…? Why are you…?
PERIDOT: (Looks around) Lapis? Is that you? Oh God, I…I can't stop it!
LAPIS: Peridot, stop it, it's just us.
PERIDOT: Who else is there? GET AWAY FROM ME!
LAPIS: Peridot?
STEVEN: (Peridot's arm was charged) LAPIS! GET OUT OF THE WAY!
Peridot uncontrollably points in Lapis's direction and starts to sweat through the struggle of stopping herself from shooting…but Hawkeye's mind control was just far to strong but Lapis couldn't see the root of this problem and just walks towards Peridot.
LAPIS: Peridot…? It's me…
PERIDOT: I CAN'T STOP IT!
Steven quickly drops David, who slumps on the ground and runs as fast as his legs could to get to Lapis. Peridot then shoots out her deadly bolt of energy. Lapis screams but is then violently tackled by Steven, who moves her out of the way, as the bolt of energy shoots passed them but only by a split second. Lapis and Steven roll in the dirt. Peridot whimpers not knowing if she hit her target. Hawkeye chuckles. Lapis quickly sits up.
LAPIS: She's shooting at us? Why is she shooting at us?
STEVEN: She…she said she couldn't stop it!
They both get up.
PERIDOT: Shit! Shit! Did I hit anyone? Oh God, Lapis, are you okay? I'm blind…I…I can't see…
Lapis looks at Peridot carefully and notices Peridot's dead eyes and the huge crack on her face. She gasps. Lapis and Steven get up, while Peridot reloads her weapon again.
PERIDOT: For the love of stars, someone answer me! Hawkeye's controlling me!
Oh, don't ruin the fun…
Hawkeye then controls Peridot to change her arm enhancer to rapid fire. Again, Peridot tries to force herself to stop but it was no use. Lapis looks on almost ideally at Peridot and walks towards her. Steven grabs her arm, trying to pull her back…even with his strength, he was no use on her. Lapis felt Steven tugging at her, trying to stop what she was doing. She then frustratingly turns at Steven.
LAPIS: I've got to talk to her!
STEVEN: But-
LAPIS: LET ME DO THIS!
Lapis produces a wave of water from the self-made pool and makes it smack into Steven, but also making sure he doesn't come to harm from it. Steven was emerged in his water surrounding bubble…he tried to call out Lapis's name but doing so would make him drown. Lapis controlled the large ball…she looked on sadly at Steven, who was doing the same thing, except trying to balance himself in the water.
LAPIS: I…I can stop her from doing any more harm. I know I can…
Weirdly enough, Steven could hear every word that Lapis was saying. He looked defeated but nodded towards Lapis…who smiled gently and released Steven from his minor prison. Meanwhile David's cuts and bruises were disappearing but was still struggling to get on his feet…he cursed at this frustration.
Lapis continued to walk towards Peridot and still Hawkeye watches on.
Heehee…this should be fun.
PERIDOT: Why? Wha…what's going on?
LAPIS: Peridot?
PERIDOT: (Looks around) Lapis…?
LAPIS: (Gets closer to Peridot) I'm here…
Peridot was now looking towards Lapis, even though she still couldn't see…but her love for Lapis imagined her physical present all too real and in front of her. She still remembers her blue coloured layered skin and the beautiful flowing, blue skirt, which was knee-length with a downward-facing navy triangle and the backless, blue halter crop top with an upward-facing navy triangle that ties into a blue sash ribbon on the back of her shoulders. It was like Peridot could see again…but only Lapis.
But Peridot was still charging up her arm enhancers and whimpered knowing she couldn't stop. Lapis was just a few feet away from her.
LAPIS: Peridot, I'm here…
PERIDOT: (Starts crying) Lapis…I c-can't stop…I…I can't see anything….
LAPIS: I know Hawkeye's got you under control.
Does Lapis know she's going to die?
PERIDOT: (Shouting from Hawkeye's mind control) NO!
LAPIS: (Takes a step forward) Don't listen to her…
PERIDOT: I…I can't…
That's right, you can't.
PERIDOT: Please, Lapis, go…while you still can!
LAPIS: I won't leave you, Peridot.
Awww, how sweet.
LAPIS: (Takes another step forward) I've never leave your side…
PERIDOT: But…but I'll h-hurt you…
LAPIS: It's not you, Peridot. I know you'll never harm me. Take over! Take over her controlling!
PERIDOT: (Tries to concentrate) I…
LAPIS: (Takes a step forward) Your stronger than her!
No, she's not!
PERIDOT: No, I'm not!
LAPIS: Yes, you are!
PERIDOT: I'm…n-not…
LAPIS: YES, YOU ARE!
Peridot's arm enhancer was fully charged and she knew this. But Hawkeye made her resist to see what Lapis would do. Lapis slowly takes a step forward. Peridot starts crying…thus making Lapis do the same thing as she can see Peridot struggling.
LAPIS: You are Peridot, Facet-2F5L Cut-5XG…you are unique, you are special. You are one of a kind
While this was happening, Hawkeye checks her orb and sees a new ability that this Peridot can do…she smiles wildly. She then controls Peridot to do something by taking one her arm enhancers off. Peridot does this and yet Lapis's ignores Peridot's actions, not being concerned at all.
PERIDOT: (Cries) You need to go! I don't know what I'm going to do next!
LAPIS: Fight it, Peridot! Fight her!
Lapis was right up against Peridot and quickly embraces Peridot with a hug. Peridot panics as her hand raises uncontrollably…
PERIDOT: Oh GOD!
LAPIS: (Feels the warmth of Peridot's body and closes her eyes while hugging) I believe in you. Fight it…fight it…
Hawkeye laughs hysterically as she makes Peridot do something… just then some rubble from the barn starts to move because of this action. Peridot knows why and starts to panic.
LAPIS: (Teary-eyed) I've never leave you, my love…
I'll make you kill her. I'll make you kill yourself!
PERIDOT: (See's something come towards them) NOOOOO!
Just then, Lapis felt something sharp rip into her back and literally through, also impacting into Peridot as well. A broken sharp metal rode had pieced them both…going through Lapis's back and exiting out of Peridot's…they were binded by this rod that had impaled them. They both screamed in pain. Peridot and Lapis could feel the cold metal rod inside them, even when moving, it would rip more of their mass. Tears both streamed out of their eyes…and yet Lapis still kept her arms around Peridot. They could both feel darkness leaving them. Peridot cried, more worried about Lapis then herself…Lapis pushed more tears out from her eyes but looked up and smiled at Peridot.
LAPIS: It…(Very weak)…it wasn't your fault…
PERIDOT: I…I couldn't…s-stop-
LAPIS: (Puts a finger over Peridot's mouth) Ssshhh. Don't talk. Let's just…sleep…
PERIDOT: Oh, Lapis…I'm sorry…
LAPIS: You don't need to be sorry, my love~
Peridot then notices her arm enhancers charging up, obviously been controlled by Hawkeye's mind control. Again, she tries to resist but it was no use. Lapis was slowly passing out…but she looked deep into Peridot's crying eyes. And for a split second, Peridot felt as if she knew, she was looking back into Lapis's eyes.
LAPIS: I love you, Miss Peridot~
PERIDOT: I love you two, Lapis Lazuli~
Lapis closes in with an embrace of the lips and Peridot opened her mouth to let Lapis have access. Peridot then pointed her arm enhancer at their heads.
Now…DIE!
