Chapter 47: Gien Must Die
Chollas: Brother! You can do it! Shatter those gems!
Chollas, Saguaro's brother was watching the monitors of his brother's final fight with the Crystal Gems. He was blackmailed to do so or Chollas would be executed. But Gien had other plans. His Gara Soldiers entered and arrested Chollas.
Chollas: What are you doing? Get you're hands off me!
Chollas knocked away some of them, but more came and overwhelmed him. Gien entered the room with them.
Chollas: My lord, what are you doing?
Gien: I don't know what caused you and you're brother to know love. So I'm going to have to examine you by disection.
Chollas: You can't do this to me! We're loyal to you!
Gien: But you two broke the Gara Droid rule. But don't worry, I don't intend on killing you since you still are useful. I just need to fix you.
The Gara Soldiers dragged Chollas to an operating table as he kept resisting. He was now strapped to the table, trying desperatly to break free.
Chollas: My lord, I beg of you. Stop this.
Gien: Don't worry Chollas, I'll shut you down during the operation and once I reactivate you, you'll be good as new.
Gien placed wires around Chollas's head as he was about to shut him down for disection.
Chollas: My lord, no. NO!
Suddenly everything went black and a new scene started. It was the elite Dart Shot who was talking to his old friend Zylpheza. He stood taller that Dart Shot, about Bismuth's size. His design was based off the Aerodroids, but he had legs and was large and bulky. His armor was white and had blue visor eyes along with blue helmet and human like face.
Dart Shot: What do you mean you won't conquer the planet?
Zylpheza: It just seems wrong Dart Shot. These people are a peaceful race. They don't attack others.
Dart Shot: It's not about if they are lethal or not. It's our job to conquere planets for our master and the Diamonds. Now do it.
Zylpheza: No.
Dart Shot: Zylpheza.
Zylpheza: I will not attack. They have done nothing wrong.
Dart Shot: But you have...traitor!
Dart Shot attempted to shoot Zylpheza with is gattling gun tail. Zylpheza blocked it with his arm and pushed Dart Shot down and picked him up to his face.
Dart Shot: Wait Zylpheza stop. I beg of you don't kill me.
Zylpheza calmed down and puts him down.
Zylpheza: I would never harm you my friend. I'm sorry.
Dart Shot: No, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have pushed you. Let's just leave and forget this planet.
Zylpheza: Yes, let's do that.
Zylpheza leaves as Dart Shot looks at him from behind with is eye narrowed. The next day, Black Knight droids had Zylpheza tied up and brought to the Diamond throne room, where Gien and Viggo was also present.
Zylpheza: What is going on? Why am I...
Viggo: Zylpheza, you're are under arrest for refusing to conquering a planet simply because you thought it was wrong. What do you have to say for yourself?
Zylpheza: They were a peaceful planet, you can't do something like this.
Gien: You had one job, Zylpheza. You elites are supposed to be our new way of conquering planets.
Zylpheza: How did you find out about this?
Viggo: We have a witness for this.
Dart Shot emerges from behind Gien.
Zylpheza: Dart Shot?
Dart Shot: Sorry my friend, but we are rewarded well if we turn in traitors.
Zylpheza: You... how could you?
Viggo: You've done well Dart Shot. And now Zylpheza, we pass down your judgement. My lord, have you reached a verdict? Guilty or innocent?
Gien: ( red eyes open) Innocent!
Zylpheza's eyes turned into terror.
Gien: Feed him to the Steelshell brothers!
The Black Knight droids pulled him away.
Zylpheza: No, not in there! My lord, don't do this. NO!
Zylpheza tried resisting, but it was no use. He was taken to a large cell and was locked in. He looked around in a dark room and on the floor were scraps of droid body parts. He heard something crawling around and was scared.
Zylpheza: Who's there?
That was he saw red eyes looking at him from the dark. It appeared to be three dark figures. Two of them had visors for eyes and the other had regular two eyes. The one in the center spoke, he had a high pitch metallic voice and had a habit of repeating the last word of every sentence.
Scarab: Well, well, well. Look who decided to come for dinner. Dinner.
The one on the right began to speak. His voice wasn't has high pitched as his brother but had a slightly deeper metallic voice.
Stag: It's about time they sent something alive in here. I'm sick of scrapped parts.
The one the left began to speak. His was a more raspy metallic voice.
Longhorn: Don't hog all of it Stag. I want his leg.
Stag: It's first come first serve Longhorn!
Scarab: Now, now brothers. There is no need to bicker among ourselves. Let Longhorn get a leg for once. For once.
Longhorn: Thank you Scarab.
Stag: Can we eat now?
Scarab: Yes we can. Can.
The mysterious Steelshell brothers lunged at Zylpheza as the latter screamed.
Suddenly Revenger snapped out of his trance. It was night time set some time after the potluck. He was standing on the top of the temple and was breathing heavily. He realized he was in a deep trance and was reliving the memories of the fallen. As much as he came to appreciate the friends he made and why they settle on Earth, he still had a mission to do. He just hopes it comes soon.
The next day.
Steven, Connie and Revenger were heading to the Fryshop.
Steven: Oh you should have seen it Connie. He held Kevin to his face and scared him so much that I think he peed himself.
Connie: Okay gross, but ugh! I wish I was there.
Steven: Oh I know. I don't think we'll see him for a while right Revenger?
Revenger: Hmm? Uh yes.
Steven noticed something was in his mind, but they made it to the fry shop and decided to ask him after he gets his bits.
Steven: Come on Peedee. Give me the bits.
Peedee: Steven why can't for once you order something on the menu? Simple fries will do.
Steven: But nothing beats the bits. So, give me the bits!
Peedee: ( groans) Okay-AY!
Peedee shouted out the last part of the word twice once Revenger got closer to the stand and noticed him.
Steven: Is something wrong Peedee?
Peedee: Steven that's that Robotman that slapped Ronaldo.
Ronaldo: Did sombody say Robotman?
They heard Ronaldo's voice as he entered. His face was bandaged from his last encounter with Revenger.
Ronaldo: ( gasps) It's the Robotman that slapped me.
Revenger: ( groans) Not him again.
Connie: You know Ronaldo?
Steven: He was the first person he met here and also gave a bad first impression. But Revenger, don't you have something to say to Ronaldo?
Revenger: Do I have to?
Steven: Yes. What you did was still not nice. Just do it.
Revenger: ( sighs) I'm sorry for slapping you across the face with the back of my hand.
Ronaldo: Oh it's cool. It's the first time I got beat up by non human beings. Besides what you did made my blogs skyrocket.
Peedee: The video I taped of him getting slapped went viral and now it's the most popular video of the year.
Steven: Well, that's good. I guess.
Ronaldo: Yeah, oh let me get my camera. I still haven't interviewed you!
Revenger: I rather not be.
Ronaldo: But can I atleast ask you're from the future.
Revenger: No, we droids come from space.
Ronaldo: Space... alright.
Ronaldo rushes to his computer to update his blogs.
Peedee: Um, here are you're bits Steven.
Steven: Thanks Peedee.
Peedee gives Steven his bits and leaves. He and Connie munched on the bits as Revenger walks with them.
Revenger: Uh Steven.
Steven: Yeah Revenger.
Revenger: I've been thinking. I've been starting to see what you and you're friends fight for and even come to appreciate it myself.
Steven: Well, thats great.
Revenger: But after I complete my mission, what do I do next? I don't think I want to leave this planet, but what purpose will I have after? The only reason I'm here is to avenge the fallen. That's all I'm here for.
Steven: Hey relax. After you help us, you can maybe start a new life here. You can either join us or maybe do something else and make a living. Whatever it is, we'll help you settle.
Revenger: O-Okay. Thank you Steven. I just can't believe you'd actually be friends with someone like me.
Steven: That's exactly what Lapis told me.
Revenger: She and Garnet. They're good to me as well.
Soon they made it back at the house, just as the did Garnet exited out looking for them.
Garnet: Steven, Revenger. I'm glad I found you.
Steven: What is it Garnet?
Garnet: I'm sensing Gara Droid activity going on at the canyons. Gien is there with two elites.
Steven looked at Revenger. His fists balled up and had a deadly look on his face. He slowly approached Garnet.
Revenger: Take me to him. Please.
Garnet nods and they went inside. The whole team ( including Peridot and Lapis) was there.
Revenger: You sure you all want to come on this?
Pearl: He's our enemy too. We want to stop him as much as you do.
Bismuth: Not to mention, two elites could be a problem. We all gotta go on this one.
Amethyst: Yeah, after all we've been fighting this guy longer than you. You might need back up.
Lapis: We're with you Revenger.
Peridot: That's right!
Revenger: Fine then.
Connie: I'm coming with you on this.
Pearl: I don't know Connie. This is going to be dangerous.
Connie: I know Pearl, but I want to help. That's what we've been training for right?
Pearl: Well yes but...
Connie: I'll be fine with Steven.
Pearl: Well... alright. You two just stay together.
Steven and Connie: Right.
The two of them held hands and formed into Stevonnie. Revenger was a bit stunned since he never met her.
Revenger: Steven...you changed.
Stevonnie: Hey, I'm Stevonnie. I'm Steven and Connie fused.
Garnet: ( smiling) Long time no see Stevonnie.
Stevonnie: Oh I missed you Garnet. I'd love to talk Garnet, but maybe after the fight.
Garnet: Alright. Let's go everyone.
They got onto the warp pad and teleported to the canyon area where Gien was. Soon they got there. They were on the upper parts of the canyon and looked around.
Revenger: Are you sure he's here?
Garnet: He is, I'm sure of it.
They kept walking with Revenger in the front, but nothing still. Just cliffs and higher platforms.
Peridot: It's quiet here.
Amethyst: Yeah, a little too quiet.
Bismuth: ( calling out) GIEN!
Peridot: ( being startled) AAAAAAHHH!
Peridot was breathing heavily after being scared. She closes her eyes and takes a deep breath, then she turns to Bismuth.
Peridot: ( sarcastically) Wow thanks Bismuth. I'm never going to have the hiccups again!
Bismuth: ( thumbs up) You're welcome.
Suddenly Revenger stopped in his tracks. The others stopped too after he did. In front of them was Gien along with Viggo and Bomber the Great. But with them were two Gara Elites.
The first one was Thundercracker, he stood as tall as Jasper and had a muscular build. He had gauntlet fists like Garnet and spikes on his shoulders, arms and chest and horns on his head. He only had one eye, lacked a mouth and body armor was black and white (black on his head, arms and chest and white on his neck and legs).
The second was Cyclonus, he stood slightly taller than Pearl. His body armor was purple except for his face which was silver and had yellow eyes. His head was cone shaped with two spikes sticking out on each side. Stevonnie noticed how tensed up Revenger was getting.
Revenger: Gien...
Revenger formed both of his wrist blades and his shoulder cannons. Bomber and Viggo had weapons ready while Gien took a few steps forward casually.
Gien: So, you're the one who's been causing trouble with my troops. Have we met?
Revenger: Not like this, but in different lives.
Gien: Different lives?
Revenger: I am Revenger. I am here to avenge the ones you killed in cold blood. Saguaro, Chollas, Zylpheza and Chuzuubo
Gien: Hmmm. Thos names sound familiar. You know them how?
Revenger: I know them, because I am them. Reborn in a new being!
Stevonnie: Gien, you killed those droids because they had emotions. How could you do something like this?
Gien: They shouldn't have emotions. I made the Gara Droids to be the most powerful and feared army in the whole galaxy. In order to have that kind of perfection I can't have sentimental emotions here. Isn't that right boys?
Thundercracker and Cyclonus: Yes my lord!
Stevonnie: Is it that, or is it because of Pink Diamond?
Gien: What are you implying?
Stevonnie: You know what I mean. I...Steven knows how close you were to her. Did you really kill those droid's because they were defects or was it because you wouldn't allow anyone else in you're team to have feelings like you used to.
Garnet: You're forcing your army to be what you want them to be rather than what they want.
Peridot: Just like you did to me.
Cyclonus: Silence! How dare you talk like that to our master? We are not forced to do anything. I'd rather have my spark exstinguished than to have such filthy emotions.
Thundercracker: We are made to create a perfect world for our kind to rule. Our lord created us and it is our sole purpose to do what we can to please him.
Viggo: Very good boys. Do you see? This is just part of our nature, our progamming. Call them what you want, but they are just right the way they are. The ones that you Revenger carry are merely defects.
Bismuth: This is exactly why we left Homeworld.
Pearl: You're just as horrible as the Diamonds.
Gien: DON'T YOU DARE COMPARE ME TO THEM! I hate them as much as you do. I want to make a world where droids are the new superior race. But to do that I need a strong army and those that are defected must be purged. But you know what Revenger? You seem to possess such strong power. Why not join me? You'd be a perfect addition.
Revenger: Excuse me? After killing the fallen, making me feel what they feel, you expect me to join you just like that?
Gien: No, not like that.
Gien forms his limb enhancer hand into a laser and points it up.
Gien: Like this!
Gien fires the laser. Far from the distance, Huntress was aiming her rifle at the back of Revenger's head.
Acha: That's our cue Huntress.
Huntress: I got him right where I want him.
Huntress fires the rifle and the projectile she shot was the device Gien made. It finally made impact on Revenger's head.
Revenger: Urgh! What?
Huntress: Do it now Acha!
Acha: Right!
Acha took out a remote control and turned the nob. Suddenly Revenger was feeling pain in his head. Electricity was forming around him as he yelled and screamed.
Stevonnie: Revenger! What's wrong?
Stevonnie went to him and placed her hand on his shoulder. Suddenly Revenger swiped her face with his wrist blade.
Stevonnie: AAHH!
Garnet: Stevonnie!
Stevonnie stepped back covering her cheek. Revenger has cut her cheek as she saw the blood on her hands. Garnet and Pearl went up to check on her. They looked back at Revenger who was now setting his sights at them.
Amethyst: Um, why is he staring at us like he's going to kill us?
Peridot: Because I think he is going to kill us.
Lapis: Revenger what are you doing?
Gien: He's mine now. I always get who I want to join me whether they like it or not. Revenger, unfuse her and bring me Steven. The rest of them you can kill.
Revenger: C-Crystal gems...they...they must be destroyed!
Revenger charged at Stevonnie, she kept blocking his attacks.
Stevonnie: Revenger he's controlling you. You have to snap out of it.
Revenger: Silence!
Revenger fired his shoulder cannon at Stevonnie, knocking her down.
Revenger: I serve only my one true master!
Revenger was attacking aggressivly as Stevonnie could only block.
Garnet: We have to remove the device on his head! Let's go!
Lapis shot a stream of water and grabbed hold of Revenger. His body was trapped inside while his head was still sticking out. He growled and struggled to break free. She got closer to him with the water still attached to her arm.
Lapis: Don't make this hard for your self. We're trying to help you.
Garnet: Just hold still, you'll be free.
Garnet approached him to remove the mind control device, but he shot lightning that comes from his shoulder pads electricuted Lapis and everyone else, making her lose control and breaks free.
Stevonnie: Guys!
Revenger: I must... unfuse you... must take Steven!
Stevonnie: Revenger stop! I don't want to fight you.
Revenger: You fool!
Revenger attacked Stevonnie. She kept dodging his attacks, but had to fight back or else she would lose. The others got back up and saw this.
Garnet: Hold on Stevonnie!
But they are cut off by Viggo, Huntress, Bomber, Thundercracker and Cyclonus. Gien as always stood aside since he wasn't really a fighter.
Huntress: Not so fast. You won't ruin our mission this time.
Cyclonus: I will not allow you to interfere. I will be the one who will turn you in personally.
Thundercracker: Don't hog it all Cyclonus. I've been waiting forever to destroy something. The short one their is mine.
Scene shifts to Amethyst and Peridot.
Peridot: Is he talking about me or you?
Amethyst: ( shrugs) Uh, both I guess.
Scene shifts back the droids.
Viggo: Revenger is part of our team now. He will make great use to us.
Bomber: But now it's the end of the road for you Crystal Temps. Aerodroids!
Viggo: Black Knight droids!
Huntress: Gara Soldiers!
Ten of each squad teleport in the scene. The gems were ready to fight, but it could be tough. They were outnumbered by a lot.
Bismuth: Uh, can we talk about this?
Huntress: Mmmm, no. Attack!
The Crystal Gems and Gara Droids start fighting.
Lapis: I've got to help Stevonnie.
Lapis flew up trying to get to Stevonnie, Cyclonus spotted her.
Cyclonus: You will not get away from me. After her!
Cyclonus transforms in what appears to be a space jet and is accompanied by three Aerodroids and chases after her. By timing it right, she managed to form one of the water hands out of the ground and punching one of them, causing it to lose control and crash. The other two and Cyclonus opened fired at her, they continuosly missed her. She tried summoning some water from her gem and turned them into ice stalactites. She manages to impale the two Aerodroids, but Cyclonus shot the ones that were coming towards him. The two Aerodroids fell to the ground, but one of them was firing uncontrollably and accidently shots Cyclonus. He comes crashing down and transforms back to robot mode.
Cyclonus: ( groans and looks up to Lapis flying away) You haven't out runned me yet my dear.
Now that she was free, she went to go help Stevonnie and Revenger.
Revenger: You're not even trying. Fight me!
Stevonnie: I don't want to fight you. You can't let Gien control you.
Revenger was about to attack again, until Lapis got in between the two of them.
Stevonnie: Lapis.
Lapis: Revenger stop! Don't you recognize us?
Revenger slapped her across the face, knocking her down.
Lapis: Revenger, it's me Lapis! I'm your friend. Stevonnie is your friend!
Cyclonus enters the scene with Acha.
Cyclonus: Don't listen to her Revenger. Do as you're command.
Revenger: I serve only my master! Soon you wall all neel down to him.
Stevonnie: Do you hear yourself Revenger? You're not a Gara Droid.
Lapis: You're one of us. You disapproved of how Gien ran things and how all the droids should act.
Stevonnie: Just like how the Crystal Gems didn't like how the Diamonds ran Homeworld. You wanted to kill him for killing the ones that had emotions.
Cyclonus: Ignore them! Kill them both!
Revenger stopped what he was doing and began to have some kind of mental struggle.
Lapis: Revenger?
Stevonnie: That's it Revenger. Fight it.
Revenger: Lapis...Stevonnie...kill me.
Stevonnie: What no!
Revenger: I don't ...want to hurt you...but I can't... control myself much longer.
Lapis: We're not going to kill.
Revenger: DO IT!
Lapis: NO!
Cyclonus: Damn you all! Acha!
Acha: This will get you to do what you must.
Acha turns the knob on the remote further, trying to get Revenger under control again. Lapis got behind him and tried to remove the mind control device off his head. Revenger couldn't restrain himself much longer and grabbed her arms and began to struggle, but she still had a grib on the device.
Lapis: I'm getting you out of this alive! I'm with you to the end Revenger!
Revenger: L-Lapis...
Sparks were flying out of the device she was trying to pull out . The electricity shooting out wrapped around them.
Cyclonus: No.
Cyclonus aimed his laser gun at them and fired. The projectiles bounce off them and they kept of flashing until it let out a huge light. Stevonnie, Cyclonus and Acha opened up her eyes and saw a new figure standing in front of her.
Stevonnie: What?
Cyclonus: AAAHHH!
Acha: N-Nani?!
This new being was an athletic build android looking woman who stood as tall as Revenger. She had spiked up blue hair and a humanoid looking face with teal eyes. She had built in armor that resembled Lapis's clothing ( specifically her second form). The rest of her body that wasn't part of her armor ( her arms, midriff and face) was a metallic silver. She still had Revenger's double barreled laser and shoulder cannon and his wrist blades. Her chest showed Revenger's life spark which was a glowing orb and on her back was Lapis's gem. She looked at Stevonnie and showed her in her hands the mind control device and crushes it.
Acha: No! The device!
Android fusion: Stevonnie, are you okay?
Stevonnie: Y-Yeah but, do you realize you fused?
Android fusion: What?
That's when she noticed her arms and her body.
Acha: That can't be a fusion. Gara Droids can't fuse.
Cyclonus: You! Who are you?
The android fusion turns to them with a serious look.
Pyrite: Call me Pyrite.
She slowly approached Cyclonus and Acha.
Acha: She's coming this way. Shoot her! SHOOT HER!
Cyclonus: Stand back.
Cyclonus began firing at Pyrite. She simply deflected it by forming a shield of ice in front of her as she calmly walks towards them.
Acha: AAHH! I'm out here. She's your's.
Acha tries running away, but ends up tripping and falling off the high platform they were on.
Cyclonus: Coward!
Cyclonus tries fighting Pyrite himself. He takes out his sword and fights her. Pyrite formed Revenger's wrist blades and fought. Pyrite was flexible and fast like Lapis and was just as strong if not stronger than Revenger. She knocked Cyclonus's sword off his hand and slashed him. Cyclonus stepped back a bit and is then shot by a stream of water by Pyrite, sending him flying off the platform and back to he battle ground from below.
Stevonnie: Pyrite, that was amazing. You have both Revenger and Lapis's abilities.
Pyrite: Thanks, oh but your face.
Pyrtie pointed out Stevonnie's scratched face.
Stevonnie: Oh pffft! That's nothing.
Stevonnie licks her two fingers and places them on her cheek, healing her scratch and fading away the blood.
Stevonnie: See? I'm okay.
Pyrite: Good, now come on. We got friends to save.
Back on the ground.
Thundercracker: Missile launcher!
Thundercrackers's left fist opened up shooting missiles at the gems. They get hit and fall back. Thundercracker along with Bomber, Viggo and Huntress closed into them.
Pearl: I-I don't know how long we can take this.
Peridot: We could really use Lapis and Stevonnie's help right about now!
Garnet: Keep it together everyone. We have to keep going.
Bismuth: Yeah... I'm not losing to a bunch of uppercrusts scrap heaps.
Thundercracker: Pathetic fools! There is no escape for you!
Thundercracker aimed his other arm at them and formed into a laser cannon. Suddenly Thundercracker was knocked down by Cyclonus who was thrown off by Pyrite.
Thundercracker: Cyclonus?
Cyclonus: It's that Revenger and Lapis Lazuli! They...
Suddenly an ice beam was shot down and froze the Gara Soldiers, Aerodroids and Black Knight droids. Everyone looked up and saw Pyrite slowly coming down while holding Stevonnie. The gems had surprised and amazed looks on their faces while the Gara Droids were surprised and confused, especially Gien.
Thundercracker: Who she supposed to be?
Cyclonus: That's that Revenger droid, fused with the Lapis Lazuli.
Viggo: What?
Gien: ( in his mind) This is not possible. Gara Droids aren't capable of fusion. That's how I made them.
Bomber: Damn it! I'm sick of you gems always using fusion against us. Don't think this scares me! Missile mode!
Viggo: Bomber, no!
Bomber transforms into missile mode and lauches himself at Pyrite. But Pyrite forms a water hand and punches Bomber away, sending him flying into a mountain.
Viggo: Idiot.
Viggo tried to whip her, but Pyrite formed her wrist blades and cuts the whip. Viggo now angered shot his lightning at her. Pyrite blocked the attack with her hands and formed it into an energy ball. She throws it back at Viggo, knocking him down. Pyrite turns to the gems.
Amethyst: So is she on our side now?
Stevonnie: Guys it's okay, she's under control. Meet Pyrite, Revenger and Lapis's fusion.
Pyrite: It's nice to meet you all.
Amethyst: Whoa, dude!
Bismuth: That was awesome!
Peridot: Oh wowzers!
Pearl: Oh my, that is great.
Garnet: Nice look. I thought you said it wasn't possible for droids to fuse.
Pyrtite: It's not.
Pyrite and the gems turned to Gien.
Pyrite: Gien...
Pyrite approached him until she is cut off by Huntress.
Gien: Huntress.
Huntress: ( to Gien) Don't worry my lord. I'll protect you. ( to Pyrite) If you want to get to him, you'll have to get through me first.
Pyrite: Fine we'll play it your way Huntress. RAAAAAH!
Pyrite charges at Huntress with a punch. Huntress blocks that punch and puches her across the face. Pyrite step back a bit and puches her back. Pyrite flies up to a higher platform and Huntress jumps up after her.
Garnet: Pyrite!
The others trie to go help her, but they are cut off by Cyclonus and Thundercracker.
Cyclonus: Not so fast. This is where it ends for you gems.
Thundercracker: First we'll crack the shell, then we crack the nuts inside!
Stevonnie: Just what we need.
Garnet: Let's take care of these guys first.
While the Crystal Gems took on Cyclonus and Thundercracker, we move back Pyrite and Huntress's fight. Huntress pulled out her rifle and started firing at Pyrite. Pyrite uses her arm cannon and fires back. They kept missing until they finally they shot each other at the same time. Pyrite got shot in the shoulder and Huntress at her hand, dropping her gun. Huntress falls to her knees as Pyrite closes in on her about to fire.
Pyrite: Is that all you had to offer Huntress?
Huntress: ( silent chuckles) Not really.
Huntress draws out her machete and slashes Pyrite on the right waist.
Pyrite: AURGH!
Pyrite looked down and saw the wound, dripping green blood from Revenger's side.
Pyrite: That... that was dirty move.
Huntress: Hahahaha! I'm not so easy to kill you know.
Huntress kicks Pyrite down.
Huntress: I am the most powerful elite in this army.
Then she points her metallic arm at her and fires her finger missiles at her, puncturing her body.
Huntress: You could have been a great addition to it. You could have been the perfect warrior like me. But no, you chose these gems, these low life forms, this stupid rock. No wonder my darling killed those useless droids.
Pyrite: So do you want to end up like them as well Huntress?
Huntress: Excuse me?
Pyrite: Lapis has seen you suck up to him before. I know how much you care about him. Tell me, are you in love with him?
Huntress: ( blushing) W-What?
Pyrite: ( smirking) I know that look.
Pyrite finally gets back up.
Pyrite: You're into him aren't you? But he doesn't know does he?
Huntress: Shut up...SHUT UP!
Pyrite: But if he knew how you feel, than he would kill you for feeling love. You claim to be a perfect elite, but deep down you're a defect as well. Admit it, you're just like me.
Huntress balled up her fist and held onto her machete tight.
Huntress: Just shut up and die!
Huntress tried to slashe her with her machete. Pyrite caught her arm and began to crush it. Huntress tried to puncher with her other arm, but Pyrite caught her fist. She began to crush them both as Huntress couldn't hold onto her machete anymore and drops it. Huntress knee kicks her in the stomach causing her to let her go. They begun to fight in hand to hand combat with some punches and kicks.
Huntress: How about this?
Huntress's monocole began to glow and fired laser projectiles at Pyrite. Pyrite formed and ice shield in front of her blocking them and then a ray of water at her knocking her down. Before Huntress got back up, Pyrite jumped onto her. The two of them struggled for a moment utnil Pyrite held her from behind and grabbed a hold of Huntress's monocole eye. Her fingers dug deep into her face. Huntress began to scream in pain as Pyrite began to rip her monocole out. Finally she did as Huntress let one last yell. Huntress elbows Pyrites face to let go. She gets back up and takes a piece of her suit from her arm and covers her missing eye like an eyepatch. Pyrite stood there holding her eye and then crushing it.
Huntress: How dare you?
Pyrite: Oh I'm sorry, but I hope we can now see eye to eye.
Huntress: You...you bitch!
Huntress charged at Pyrite, but is stabbed in the stomach by her wrist blades. Huntress coughed up blood and Pyrite grabbed her by the neck and threw her off the cliff, screaming as she falls to the bottom of the canyon. Huntress was gone, but Pyrite couldn't sustain the fusion anymore due to her injury and was forced to unfuse. Revenger and Lapis were back. Lapis had a new look though. She now wore a backless, halter crop tank top that is blue on top and navy on the bottom resembling half a star. She also wore puffy dark-blue pants, which represent the second half of the star tied up by a bronze-gold ribbon, and now wore sandels. Revenger however was hurt from the waist.
Lapis: Revenger!
Lapis went to him to check his wound.
Revenger: I'm fine.
Lapis: How come only you are hurt?
Revenger: Probably because I can bleed and can't regenerate unlike you. But nevermind.
Revenger tried to move, but Lapis tried to stop him.
Lapis: No stop.
Revenger: I said I'm fine.
Lapis: No you're not, you're hurt. We need to get you to Stevonnie, she can heal you.
Revenger: She's too busy fighting. Gien must die!
Lapis: But I don't want you to die.
Revenger: He won't be a problem to me.
Lapis: ( grabbing his arm) Revenger...
Revenger: This is my sole purpose Lapis. I can't fail this. Let go of me!
Revenger shakes Lapis off and flies off instantly leaving Lapis behind. Gien was still watching his other two elites fighting against the others.
Gien: Come on. I chose you two to destroy them. Why is it taking so long?
Suddenly Revenger landed in front of him.
Gien: ( red eyes open) Revenger?
Revenger punched him across the face, knocking him down and then lifted him up to his face.
Revenger: I'm gonna kill you.
Gien: You idiot! I made you. If I had not killed those defects, you wouldn't be here today. You should be grateful to me that you became something much more.
Revenger: Oh I am.
Revenger threw him aside. Gien formed his limb enhancer hand into a laser and fired at him. Revenger dodges and formed his wrist blade, slashing him across the chest.
Gien: Damn you!
Gien tried to punch him but he catches his arm.
Revenger: You know, I never understood why you even bother installing pain receptors on you or your droids. It kinda comes off as an intentional design flaw if you ask me.
Gien: Don't you critizize my methods like you understand the nueral system. Pain is imperative to recognize when you are in peril. To give the mind con...TEEEEEEEX!
Revenger stabs Gien again. Gien was coughing out black blood. He retracts his blade and puches him in the face. He picks up Gien and throws him to the edge of the cliff. Revenger has had enough of tormenting him and decides to finish him off. Gien looked up to him. He was too weak to use his built in weapons. But he did see a few inches from him, Huntress's gun behind a rock.
Gien: ( as he crawled to the gun) No more Revenger! Grant me mercy I beg of you!
Revenger: You, who are without mercy, now plead for it? I thought you were made of sterner stuff.
Gien finally got the gun but is jumped by Lapis.
Lapis: No you don't Gien!
Revenger: Out of the way Lapis!
Gien and Lapis begun to struggle. Revenger couldn't get a clear shot and didn't want to risk shooting Lapis. Gien managed to overpower her by grabbing and electricuting her. He held onto her with one arm, using her as a shield and with his other arm shot Revenger.
Gien: Fall! FALL!
Gien shot Revenger four times. The laser projectiles pierced through his body. Revenger fell to the ground, badly hurt. Gien threw Lapis aside and approached Revenger, still aiming the gun at him.
Gien: Ah, this is exactly why I killed those defects. Because their emotions have made them weak like you. It's over Reveger.
Revenger was breathing heavily as he looked up to Gien, if he was going down, he was going to take him with him.
Revenger: NEVER!
Revenger jumped up and stabbed Gien again with his wrist blade. The two of them tripped and fell off the cliff. They were falling to fast that Lapis couldn't get down in time to save him.
Lapis: REVENGER!
Meanwhile
Stevonnie was knocked down and picked up by Cyclonus.
Cyclonus: Thundercracker, finisher her off.
Thundercracker: Ah yes, my favorite finisher. Thunder punch!
Thundercrackers formed electric energy around his fist and charged at Stevonnie. But this what she wanted. She turned her whole body, forcing Cyclonus to turn as well. Thundercracker ends up pucnhing through Cyclonus's back.
Cyclonus: AAAHH!
Thundercracker: AH! What have I done?
Cyclonus lets go of Stevonnie and meets up with the others.
Stevonnie: Guys, I think we should form the Crystal Cannon.
Amethyst: Ah yeah. Let's do it.
They form their weaons together and form the cannon aiming it at the two droids.
Cyclonus: What are you doing? Take your fist out of me.
Thundercracker: I'm trying, it's stuck. Ah!
Cyclonus turns to to the gems and had a horrified look on a face.
The gems: Crystal Cannon! Fire!
The Crystal Cannon shot it's beam at them. Cyclonus and Thundercracker were stuck and couldn't get out in time. They were panicing and freaking out as they are engulfed by the beam and blown to smitherines.
Bismuth: Well that takes care of those goons.
Peridot: Yeah, but what about Pyrite?
That's when they saw Lapis standing by the cliff and hurried to her.
Peridot: Lapis, are you alright?
Stevonnie: Where's Revenger?
Lapis: Guys he's down their, he took Gien and fell off the canyon.
Garnet: Let's hurry down there.
The Crystal Gems tried to find their way down to the canyon. But back at the bottom, Gien and Revenger were lying on the ground, dented, scraped and broken. Gien and Revenger had very little strenght left, but Revenger was going to make use of it. He got back on his feet, shaking amd limped over to Gien. Gien looked up to him.
Revenger: This is where it ends Gien. You will pay for what you have done with your shattered gem. I am you're angel of death.
Revenger points his double barreled cannon at Gien.
Revenger: If you see Raditz or Dart Shot in Hell, tell them I said hello.
Revenger fired the laser, but not at Gien. Instead Huntress was standing in front of him, shielding Gien and taking the shot. Gien looked up and saw the hole in her body, along with her gem.
Gien: Hu...Huntress...
Huntress: ( panting) It's okay darling...it's okay...
Huntress fell on her back next to Gien.
Revenger: No...no... I failed... I failed...
Revenger fell to the ground as well.
Revenger: I failed...
The last word Revenger said started to slow down as his body shuts down and his eyes go black. Gien reached out for Huntress.
Gien: Huntress...no...
Huntress: It's okay darling. I knew what I was getting into. But I couldn't let him kill you. I told you, I would always protect you from anything.
Huntress reached for his hand and held it.
Huntress: Gien, there's something I've been meaning to tell you for so long. I know it's against the rules, but I don't care anymore. Gien, I loved you. I alway did.
Gien: ( red eyes open) You... you did?
Huntress: ( tears in her eyes) Yes... since the day you and I started working together as gems. I wanted to be the best for you. Everything I did, I did it for you.
Gien: Huntress, how come you never...
Huntress: The law and I knew how much Pink Diamond meant to you. I thought maybe you deserved better. But maybe...maybe it's better this way...
Gien: No don't say that.
Gien never knew or considered about how Huntress felt about him. Because of the rule he made, she's been keeping this from him for so long and she tells him now. He gets on his knees and hold Huntress in his arms.
Gien: You can't die. Just hang on, I'll fix you!
Gien tries to teleport back to base, but his teleportation commands were busted.
Gien: No, no... Viggo, Acha! Get over here now!
Huntress: It's okay, I'd rather die like this than failing you.
Gien: You won't die. I'll fix you.
Huntress: You can't fix me. My gem is shattering. Any moment now it will break completely and I'll die.
Gien: But you're all I have left from my Diamond. I can't fail you.
Huntress places her hand on his face.
Huntress: It's okay darling. I'm just happy to know that you do care about me and I lifted this burden out of my chest. Just finish this mission for me, for us. Goodbye my love.
Huntress's gem finally breaks. Her hand falls limb and dies. Gien's body shook. He lost the one person that actually loved him. He hasn't felt like this since Pink Diamond's fake death. Huntress was all he had left of her and now she was dead.
Gien: Huntress... ( red eyes open) HUNTRESS!
Finally Viggo, Bomber and Acha arrive at the scene. They looked down at Gien and Huntress's lifeless body.
Acha: Huntress.
Viggo: Is she...
Gien: Dead? Yes... yes she is. Revenger and the Crystal Gems they're to blame for this. First Pink Diamond and now her.
Gien saw Revenger on the ground. Bomber approached him.
Bomber: Hmph. How do you feel Revenger? Hello?
Bomber kicks Revenger's body to see if he was still alive.
Bomber: I think he's dead my lord.
Gien: He could be in stasis. Make sure he's dead.
Bomber: As you wish.
Bomber aims his laser cannon at Revenger, until he heard the Crystal Gems coming.
Bomber: Those gems are coming. Let's beat it!
Bomber teleports back to base.
Gien: Bomber! ARGH!
Viggo: My lord. We must leave now. You are need of repairs.
Gien: Bring her body and gem shards as well. I will find a way to bring her back.
Acha holds onto Gien and Viggo places Huntress's shards in a vile and carries her body. The Gara Droids teleport away as the Crystal Gems gathered around Revenger.
Stevonnie: Revenger.
Stevonnie unfuses, now leaving Steven and Connie.
Connie: Is he alright?
Bismuth: Oh man, he does not look good.
Pearl: Is he...d-dead.
Lapis: ( tearing up) It's my fault.
Steven looks at her.
Lapis: It's my fault. He had Gien right where he want him, but I budded in. I was trying to save him from being shot, but I made it worse. He's dead because of me!
Steven hugs her and holds her hand.
Steven: Lapis don't say that. It's not you're fault. You were only trying to save him.
Peridot: Hold on, let's not jump to any conclusions yet.
Peridot opened up his chest. In it was a container with button. She presses it and reveals a bright orb, his life spark.
Amethyst: Whoa, what is that?
Peridot: That is the heart of droids called a life spark and thank the stars. He's okay.
Steven: How?
Peridot: His life spark hasn't been extinguished. He's merely in stasis lock.
Garnet: Stasis lock?
Peridot: Whenever droids are in critical condition, their bodies shut down in stasis. It's similar to how a human would be in a coma or if gems were to poof. But as long as his spark is still intact. He can be fixed and reactivated.
Steven: Did you hear that Lapis?
Lapis: Yes, so you can fix him Peridot?
Peridot: Yes, Lapis. He'll be okay.
Pearl: I'll help you with his repairs.
Garnet: Then let's hurry back to the temple.
Amethyst: I'll carry him.
Amethyst shape shifts into a stretcer and Bismuth and Garnet placed him on their and carried him back home. They weren't going to let him die like this.
To be continued...
Author's Note: That it for this chapter. Sorry it took a little longer, but this one really gave me trouble for some reason. Also in case you're wondering, no that was not a typo during Zypheza's trial when Gien said he was innocent. It was a reference to the 1986 Transformers movie when the Quintessons put the Autobots on a phony trial, but I'm sure not all of you would get it. I hope you enjoyed. Special thanks to Lady Shadow92 for help and the idea for Pyrite. Please read and review. Thank you.
