I can't believe I forgot to update here as well- I'm so sorry to those of you who don't use Wattpad and didn't get this, but now you get a double upload.
Also, I just realized that I haven't given Steven his new jacket yet and for some reason I decided I should add it in for their fusion before he even has it, so since it's too late to change it as you all have seen it, I guess you'll have to just not take that as his new jacket in the show and as a jacket he has- so let's just say he wears a pink hoodie for now or something.
I really hate to do this, it physically hurts to have to change something without being able to go back and change my mistake before anyone sees but unfortunately a couple hundred people are already aware of what I said.
Anyway, please enjoy!
-=Morganite/Dendrite=-
-=Near The Moss Pond=-
The fusion who identified herself as Morganite stood there with a happy grin as she looked herself over curiously. "So Dendy, what do ya think? You wanna have some fun?" She asked, looking up to the already battle damaged uncorrupted gem.
She seemed to keep her distance, not knowing what to expect from the new foe. "I'll shatter you if you come one step closer, you abomination." She threatened with a glare, ready for any movement.
"Hehehe, understood!" She giggled as she dissipated her weapon and swung her arm back, said limb stretching back a good ten feet before she swung it forward, the blue gem taking the full blow of her fist, not expecting such an action. "Not one step taken." The fusion mentioned with an innocent smile.
Dendrite glared and created two ice daggers before she charged at her, Morganite being able to pull out her magenta shield and blocked the attack before she could even make the attempt to thrust her blade into the her. "Ya know, this game seems kinda unfair for me- I can't take a step from this spot but you get to run around? But whatever, hehehe I like a challenge."
The fusion slammed her shield against Dendrite, sending her flying a few feet away before she summoned her weapons again, this time fusing them into a bladed saw on the end of the shaft of the scythe. "Oops, that's not very family friendly- how about...oh- a pizza cutter?!" She called out with a smile as the saw turned into a comedically large pizza cutter.
"Stop. Messing. Around!" Dendrite shouted turning her two small blades into a sword and launching herself at Morganite again. The fusion just smiled in response as she used the side of the 'weapon' to shield herself.
"Are you not having fun? I'm playing by your rules." She frowned, acting sad that she didn't enjoy the game before pushing her back slightly and stretching her arm so she could swing the spinning blade at her, the battered gem hardly able to duck under her attack. "If you'd like, we could play frisbee." She offered, turning the shield into a frisbee with the blade from the scythe around the edges.
Morganite threw the deadly disc at her, the icy gem responding by ducking under it once again. "No? Maybe boomerangs are more your speed?" She questioned with a smile as she held her hand up, confusing Dendrite until she felt a blade strike her in the back. Thankfully for her though, It didn't go deep enough to force her back into her gem. She dropped to the floor and pulled out the weapon, revealing a bladed pink boomerang.
"This isn't over by a long shot Universe. You and your little toy might have bested me this time with fusion but I'll be back." She said weakly before the area was enveloped in a blizzard in an instant, leaving the small uncorrupted gem impossible to find.
Morganite created her pinwheel again, clearing the entire area out, allowing her to catch a fleeting glimpse of the gem who was rushing for the woods. She grinned as she created a dark pink bubble and covered it in snow. "We can have a snowball fight if that's really what you want!" She called out, her arm glowing pink before throwing it right for the fleeing gem's head at blinding speeds, sadly just missing her and hitting a large tree instead, creating a hole in it and embedded in the tree behind it, revealing that the ball was now covered in spikes and blades.
"Hehehe, hide and seek it is." She said, walking towards the wooded area. "Ten, nine, eight, sevensixfiveforthreetwoone, ready or not, here I come!" She called out, now dashing towards the woods. The playful fusion jumping into the trees, leaping from branch to branch, looking around for her 'playmate'.
It wasn't until they got really deep in the woods when they heard the loud sounds of trees falling, a large homeworld ship floating into the air. "Awh, leaving so soon?" She questioned, her smiled more sinister before launching herself into the air at the ship, their shield falling onto the tip of their scythe once more, this time turning back into the large pink saw from earlier. "But I'm not done playing yet." The fusion said before swinging their weapon as the saw spun, managing to cut into the ship before it warped off, the force of its speed knocking her back.
She gave a snap of her fingers with a slightly disappointed look as she plunged towards the ground. "Aw shucks, she got away." She complained as her descent slowed to a near stop, her feet touching the ground.
She then took a moment to look over herself. "Wait a second...Oh my stars- we fused!" She spoke in somewhat of an anxious voice with a strange mix of joy, Spinel's eyes going back to her calm singular colored dark pink ones. "I-I'm so sorry, I didn't even ask and you weren't even conscious! I can't believe I did this!" She panicked, the previous hint of joy gone, seemingly showing Spinel's thoughts and emotions about the situation.
"No, no- it's really fine!" She insisted, Steven seemingly taking hold of their fusion now, the bottom set of eyes turning back to his normal brown ones. "Who knows what would happened if we didn't fuse, you saved me." They chuckled, wincing as a sharp pain settled in their shoulder. "We should probably unfuse though- I shouldn't make you have to feel this any longer than you already have." He offered, putting pressure on their wound, the pain not being as bad as it was for himself alone but still pretty painful.
"No- it's really fine, I don't think it would be a good idea to let you deal with all this alone until we can give you proper help,... it really isn't that bad." Spinel insisted from inside the fusion, the two of them and the fusion feeling an intense warmth coming from her gem and spreading throughout their chest,
"Are you sure? I really don't want you to put yourself through the pain of a stab wound for my sake." He insisted, slightly uncomfortable sharing his own wound with her, but still feeling extremely comfortable as Morganite at the same time- a feeling he's never had from fusion with anyone other than what he once felt with Stevonnie.
"Really, I'm alright-...let's just collect Citrine's remains and get back to the house." She said solemnly as they turned back to where this entire thing started. "Right- let's deal with the moss tomorrow."
Morganite made her way down the hill, the fusion stable once more, allowing the two minds to merge again, this time leaving her upset rather than happy and playful as she starred down at Citrine's shards, bubbling them in a dark pink bubble. "I'm sorry that this ended up being your fate..." She spoke to the deceased gem her bottom eyes glowing pink along with her face. "We will get her for what she's done, I promise."
She made sure to bubble all of the Quartz soldiers who attacked as well as the shards of their commander Demantoid, sending them all to the temple just as the six core Crystal Gems came running up the hill, noticing the unidentified gem.
"You- what's happening? We felt the tremors, has there been an accident?" Garnet questioned, seemingly panicked that this happened so close to where Amethyst told her that Steven and Spinel were heading. That's when she noticed the two gems she had on her.
"Garnet- is that..." Pearl didn't even bother to finish her sentence, seeing how big of a smile Garnet had was enough of an answer for her.
"Oh my gosh you two- that's a big jump considering your whole 'just friends' thing earlier." Amethyst commented with a grin of her own. "Whatever- at least you're confronting the truth finally."
"Yeah, no. There were some gems from the rebellion that came by and Steven and Spinel had to fuse in the end. Actually, they're still fused because Steven needs help." She explained, Stevens need to deny Amethyst's suggestions shining through despite the sharp pain followed by the sinking feeling in her chest after the denial. She tried to ignore it almost like an inherited reaction to this feeling as she moved her hand away from the wound, revealing the blood that was staining her jacket. "It eases the pain for Steven so Spinel is kinda insisting that they stay me."
"I see- Garnet, should we call Dr.Maheswaran again?" Pearl asked, glancing at the wound with a look of worry. "It looks really bad."
"Yes, you get her on the phone if you can." The permafusion spoke, nodding to the slim gem. "Morganite, unfortunately you can't really enjoy this experience too much this time, you should get back to the house, I'll walk with you if you would like."
"Well I assume we're all heading back to the house to take care of Steven anyway, so there'd really be no point in me requesting to walk home alone anyway." She shrugged with a smile. "Let's get going then."
Morganite's personality was one that even the two that sne was made of found weird and inconsistent. At first she was extremely playful and joyous, then she did a complete one eighty and started acting like a normal person with a wider range of feelings.
"Very well then." Garnet agreed with a nod as the group began walking home together. "So, Morganite, what's your weapon? She asked as not to let the silence settle in.
"Nothing really specific, I've actually been able to make a few things with Spinel's scythe and Steven's shield, like a bladed frisbee, a bladed boomerang, a saw on the end of the scythe's shaft, a bladed pinwheel, and even a big pizza cutter." She listed the few creations she had made to fight their attacker. "It looks like I can make whatever sensible combination comes to mind, but unfortunately there are hardly any combinations a scythe and shield can make. And of course I have all Steven's powers and Spinel's natural stretchiness."
"That's great- I'm sure you'll be able to come up with more combinations in the future, but for now, can you tell us what happened back there?" Pearl spoke up, looking back towards the hill that had a large crater in it. "You said you were...attacked?"
"Oh- yeah, just more gems coming for Steven. They were doing well holding off a group of Quartz soldiers but then...well we had to fight someone we thought was our friend. She shattered their leader and our other friend; we weren't really close to her, but it was our first time experiencing loss...Spinel feels sad...Steven is angry, he wanted to hurt Dendrite really bad. It kind of scared Spinel to see him like that, but it scared her more to see him go off without her and get hurt." Morganite said, her mood seemingly turning a bit sad as the bottom set of eyes gave a look of guilt.
"I'm sorry you two had to go through that..." Pearl responded, setting a comforting hand on their left arm. "I know you must be upset, but vengeance shouldn't drive either of you; don't fight to hurt someone because they wronged you or someone you care about...fight to make sure they don't do the same to anyone else."
"Steven understands, but he still can't help wanting to hurt her for what she did." Morganite mentioned, seemingly getting a flash of anger.
"You'll never get anywhere if you're fighting because of hate, but if you're fighting to protect something or someone, you can never loose. Just think of that if you ever get into a fight with someone who has wronged you." Garnet advised, receiving a smile from Morganite.
"What's with all the lectures out of nowhere lately? These two are fused for stars sake!" Amethyst grinned, gently socking her in her good arm. "So how does it feel? I mean aside from the hole in your arm that is."
"Well ignoring that, it feels...right? I don't know, I just enjoy being me I guess." She shrugged lightly, keeping her happy smile. "Though being able to bleed is kinda weird but at the same time normal which is just a confusing mix of feelings on its own."
"Heh, well maybe this will open a certain someone's eyes." Amethyst suggested, giving the fusion a knowing look, hoping that he'd at least be able to know how Spinel really feels if nothing else.
Morganite just gave a confused look, waving her hand in front of her face. "But my eyes are already open?" She said quizzically, seemingly getting a bit of cluelessness from Spinel.
"It's nothing- let's just get back to the house and get Priyanka to patch you up." Amethyst sighed, looking forward as they made their way onto the warp pad.
"She just got put on break, she doesn't have long but she agreed to help us with what little time she has." Pearl announced, putting her phone back into her gem, the group finally making their way into the house on the warp.
They waited at most ten minutes for Dr. Maheswaran to get there, the woman marching into the house with a bag strapped over her shoulder. "I haven't even been gone for that long and I already have to come back for Steven? I'm starting to get the feeling I should step in as a responsible adult." He first words being a complaint on the poor parenting for the young teen.
"This is no one's fault other than the attacker's- there were gems that attacked him again and he ended up badly hurt." Garnet spoke up to her. "Stepping in won't do anything but drag humans into this mess as well."
"Well if that ends up being the case then so be it, now where is he?" She questioned firmly with her arms crossed, receiving a small wave from Morganite, the fusion not exactly likening how stern the human was.
"I guess it's about time we unfused for now." She sighed, Spinel's eyes giving a reluctant look before they unfused, leaving Spinel with her hand gently on his good shoulder as he put pressure on his wounded one, the pain almost immediately getting worse after they separated.
"I-...I honestly don't have the energy today to question your antics, just show me the damage." Priyanka sighed as she set her bag down, walking over to the teen as he painfully removed his pink hoodie and shirt so she could get a better look.
"Whatever did this got in deep, it seems to have hit the joint actually, you shouldn't be this calm over something like this." She spoke with worry, hoping that it would even be possible to fix a shoulder joint that has been perfectly impaled.
"I'll be ok- now that I think about it, I'll just have to spit in it and I'll be fine; just tell me what specifically needs healed up so I know how deep into the cut I need it to go." Steven requested, trying not to show just how much pain he was currently in.
"Oh my jeez, of course! How did we forget about his spit?!" Amethyst complained. "We brought Priyanka out here on her break for nothing."
"Im glad you all called me over actually- just because he has 'healing spit' doesn't mean you shouldn't console a doctor first." She spoke before turning back to Steven. "Now, if your 'healing spit' can really fix it, you have to get it as deep into your wound as you can, your ball joint is damaged, so I hope it can fix that or else you'll need surgery." She informed him, opening her bag up. "But first, I insist you allow me to sanitize it."
Steven clenched the arm rest of the couch as she poured alcohol on his wound, it breaking under the pressure of his grip while Spinel held his other arm, trying to comfort him. Priyanka gave a satisfied nod once she cleaned the whole thing out, packing up her stuff. "Great, now just...do what you gotta do to fix it, I'm not leaving until I know it worked." She demanded, offering him a tiny paper cup as he couldn't just spit into it.
The hybrid sighed as he grabbed the cup from her, filling it with his magic saliva, Spinel looking on in slight disgust as he poured it into his open wound. It didn't take too long for it to heal back up, surprising even Steven that he was capable of healing such damage. "There we go, all better now- again, sorry for making you come down here ."
"No problem at all, Universe. If you ever come across an injury that bad again call me over, even if you can heal it, and try to relax for the rest of the day, I'm sure not even 'magic' could heal something like that so fast without any drawbacks." She ordered, hating that she had to use such a word so nonchalantly.
"Yeah- I think it's time I just sit back and heal." He agreed with a smile, Pearl taking his shirt and jacket so she could go and wash them. Once Priyanka left the house, Pearl was quick to get him to get into the shower to wash the blood off of himself.
Just before he closed the door Spinel grabbed his good arm. "S-Steven...what exactly do you remember from us fusing?..." She asked quietly, a blush coming to her cheeks as she felt anxious but slightly hopeful at the same time.
"Oh- I was kinda out like a light," He chuckled slightly as he rubbed the back of his head. "The last thing I remember is telling you to go get the gems."
"Oh...right," She said, the sinking feeling of emptiness returning to her chest though she kept a smile on nevertheless. "It's nothin', I was just a bit curious is all." She lied with a small laugh of her own.
"Yeah- that whole thing was a bit crazy, being Morganite was fun though, I'd love to do it again some time." He offered with his famous smile that melted her proverbial heart every time it was directed at her.
Spinel gave a small nod before she turned around and sat on the couch, those cartoons from earlier that morning on once more as the hybrid got into the shower.
He thought about the question as the real last words he heard before blacking out resurfaced in his mind. "Please, don't go, I can't loose you...please...I love you." Spinel's words played over and over in his head.
"She...loves me." He thought to himself with a blush. "I couldn't just say that I knew what she said, I still don't even know how I feel myself- do I love her too? I haven't even thought about it!" He seemed to be panicking in his head over the situation. "I already told her I didn't hear anything, what would I even say now? I just need...I need to take a bit to think about this."
"She's been here for me for just about a month now if not more and I can actually talk about things that are on my mind with her and not have to worry about having to deal with backlash for wanting to get those things off my chest...she's been my best friend for the entire time, not too long after my last one started hating me. We've spent every one of those days together and we sleep in the same bed for stars sake." He continued his shower thoughts with an even heavier blush, beginning to realize how he had been sleeping with her by his side for this long. "She's been here like no one else really...but it feels a bit fast. We haven't even known each other for that long, and yet when I think about all the people in my life, I somehow can only see a relationship like that coming from her..."
This whole thing left him confused on how he felt about his pink friend, the hybrid eventually got out of the shower, definitely not telling anyone anything about his thoughts, deciding to just get his clothes on so he could go join Spinel in relaxing and watching some television, questioning his feelings for her the entire time.
-=End Of Chapter=-
So yeah, I thought that having Morganite be overly playful in her battles would be fun, mostly so I would mean that much more when she gets serious or angry- idk you'll see what I mean eventually more than likely.
Anyway, the chapters I have been hoarding can finally be released now! I am kinda excited for that tbh.
Anyway, as always-
Good morning, goodnight, or good afternoon, I'll see you all again soon!
