Chapter 15
Homecoming
Jet sighed as he folded his legs and closed his eyes. It has been a couple of months (about 4 actually) since the battle with the home world gems and Jet's narrow escape from the explosion of the ship. Jet was now back in his hometown at his father's master's dojo. He wanted to know how to master the infamous Berserker Mode. His mind flooded back to his battle with Topaz on the ship.
Flashback
"That's twice, you've strike me." Topaz said, getting up. "Consider those your last." Jet took a stance and Topaz charged at him. They collided swords, the impact caused a mini explosion around them.
"Are you trying to take down everyone on the ship?" Jet asked.
"If it means taking you down, then yes." Topaz said, eyes showing rage.
"Man, you are nuts!" Jet said, breaking sword contact from Topaz. "Let's go!" The two clashed again, causing another mini explosion. The two didn't care though, one trying to bring the other down. The two broke contact once more, both breathing hard.
"I think playtime's over." Topaz said, putting his weapon away. "Thanks to your friends, this ship is going down." Topaz started to walk away.
"Where are you going?" Jet said, still hold his stance.
"Away from here." Topaz said. "I still want to survive to fight another day. If you're smart, you'll follow me."
"Follow you?" Jet said, making his sword disperse. "You really are nuts." Topaz glared at him.
"Do not take my generosity for granted, Jett stone!" Topaz shouted. "I still want to shatter you, but I won't have the chance if you end up dying with the ship. Now, follow me or perish!" Jet sweat dropped and followed Topaz. They kept walking until they reached a room with two space pods in them.
"Take your pick." Topaz said. Jet picked the one on his right-hand side and sat down in it. The controls looked confusing to Jet and he didn't know what to do.
"So." Jet said. "How you make this thing go?" Topaz remind quiet as he sat down in the one next to Jet.
"Hit that red button and tell it your location." Topaz said. "I look forward to fighting you again, Jett stone. Next time, I will shatter you from existence. Location: Earth, random wasteland."
"Destination confirmed!" The pods internal system said and with that Topaz and the pod disappeared.
"Wicked!" Jet said. He turned his focus on his own affairs as an explosion went off. He pressed the red button that Topaz told him to press and spoke out loud. "Location: Earth, New Tokyo!"
"Destination confirmed!" The pods internal system said and Jet took off, with mere seconds to spare as the ship went down. Jet signed in relief but noticed that he didn't have his trench coat with him.
"What did I do with it?" Jet asked and he peeped out the window of the pod to noticed that it was floating into Earth's atmosphere. "The last remains of my heritage...gone. Well, besides my afro." Jet let out a sigh as the pod begun to pick up speed. Jet could see the outline of his 'hometown' and frowned, he had a lot of memories there most of them bad.
"Is this thing gonna slow down?" Jet asked, looking a bit worried. Jet got his answer when the pod slam into the ground hard, he almost lost consciousness from the impact. "Ugh." Jet climbed out of the pod, his body aching all over.
"This is insane." He said, standing up. He looked around and he was just within the city limits of New Tokyo. He smiled and started to walk. "I should go to my father's master, he might provide me with some answers on how to control my powers. Hopefully... Master Sho isn't the nicest person in the world. Oh boy..."
End Flashback
Jet was right about that, Master Sho made him cut his hair and made him train for 14 hours straight every day. This would break a normal person but Master Sho knew that Jet wasn't normal. Master Sho made Jet learn the art of mediation, something Jet wasn't too keen about at first. Jet soon learned that he had the ability to train on an astro plane, which helped when his body was too sore for him to train physically.
He was wrapping up his last day at the dojo, as Master Sho has taught him everything that he knows. Jet was a fast learner so that also helped. Jet got up and stretched, within those few months he'd gotten a little taller and gained more muscle. Master Sho walked in the room and Jet bowed his head.
"Thanks for everything, Master Sho." Jet said. The old man stroke his beard and sipped on a cup that he was holding.
"No thanks are necessary boy." Master Sho said. "This old man was happy to help his former disciple's son. Tell me, why are you in a rush to leave so soon?"
"I made friends in a city called Beach City." Jet started. "They have some abilities like I do. I can relate to them. They're like family. I came to you because I needed to improve my swordsman ship and I knew you could help me. They got into some trouble a while ago and I couldn't help..." Jet clenched his fist at this. "I never felt so weak... Now, I know I have the discipline to not let that happen ever again." Master Sho smiled and bowed to Jet, Jet bowed back.
"OK." Master Sho said. "Return to your friends, protect them as you said. There's a bus that leaves for that area in an hour. You should get some new clothes for yourself. I'm sure your friends wouldn't want to see you in that..." Master Sho pointed at Jet ripped pants he had on, since he wasn't wearing a shirt.
"Ah, Okay." Jet said, blushing a little. Jet bowed to Master Sho one more time then headed outside. He bowed at the dojo and walked to the nearest clothing store, which was about 10 minutes away.
Amethyst was in her room, laying on her bed. She missed Jet and she didn't want to believe he died on the ship but she hasn't seen him for months. Her mind told her to forget about him and that the worst had happen but her heart was telling her something different. Although, she never told him but she did like him. One might go as far to say that she loved him. She shifted to a different position as her mind traveled to the time that she reformed herself, which was only a couple of days ago. She liked her new look, though much wasn't change.
Flashback
Amethyst was in the kitchen, looking in the refrigerator for something to eat. She managed to find an assortment of good food including: a slice of pizza, a hamburger, some leftover chicken, some fruit and vegetables. She noticed Steven came through the door, breathing rather hard.
"Hey, Steven." She greeted, looking through the fridge some more. "Is there anymore engine oil? I need it for my sandwich."
"I think that's for cars." Steven said, looking slightly disgusted.
"Well..." Amethyst said, carrying her stuff and closing the refrigerator with her feet. "Is there any more of it?"
"Dad's probably got some outside." Steven said, as Amethyst made her way to the counter. "Oh, but you gotta take this online quiz..." Steven was roaming through his pockets to pull out his phone. He showed her the screen which read, "Which crying breakfast friend are you?"
"That show's really weird." Amethyst said, placing her food down and taking a seat. "Who wants to watch a cartoon about people crying?"
"I do." Steven said, looking a bit sad.
"OK, OK." Amethyst said, noticing his look. "Umm... what's the first question?"
"Do you ever act without thinking?" Steven read, looking down at his phone.
"Nope, never." Amethyst said
"Are you afraid of taking risks and trying new things?" Steven continues to read. Amethyst took a huge bit out of her food, eating everything in one go.
"Terrified." She said with a stuffed mouth.
"Amethyst, are you taking this seriously?" Steven asked. Amethyst rolled her eyes.
"Of course I am." She said.
"OK." Steven said. "Next question: Are you insecure about your relationships and how you're proceed by other people?" Amethyst shot him a blank look.
"Umm, no?" She said. "Yes? What's the right answer?"
"There is no right answer." Steven said. "You're just suppose to answer honestly."
"Nah, I'm bored." Amethyst said, getting up to go to her room. Steven started to follow her.
"Wait." He said. "I have tons of more probing personal questions to ask." Amethyst ignored him as she opened the door to her room. When she did, the first thing she noticed was that Garnet was in her room.
"Garnet?" She said, walking in with Steven behind her. "What are you doing in my room?"
"I saw a corrupted gem. I followed it through the tunnel it dig in the rock." She said, pointing up to reveal a giant hole in the ceiling. Amethyst didn't even bother to look up but Steven did.
"Yeah, right." Amethyst said, folding her arms.
"Where did it come from?" Steven asked.
"It's similar to Pearl's description of the creature she saw slinking through the temple." Garnet said.
"You saw the slinker?" Steven asked.
"I thought we agreed that there's no slinker and that we weren't gonna call it The Slinker?" She said, using air quotes for the slinker part.
"Yes, we did." she said, with her arms folded. "But Steven's name stuck with it."
"Yes!" Steven said, pumping his fist in the air.
"Nooo!" Amethyst shouted. "Why don't you just let me look for it."
"Because you won't." Garnet said, walking off. Amethyst and Steven followed her. Garnet lifted a big pile of Amethyst stuff to reveal a giant hole that was there.
"How long this thing been in here?" Steven said, looking into the hole. Amethyst picked up a mask and held it up to her face.
"Look, Steven!" She said, wiggling the mask around. Steven started to laugh. "Oh, and there's a prize inside!" She pulled out a human skull, which made Steven stop laughing and gasped.
"Shh!" Garnet shushing them. "Keep quite." She carried the pile with her until they reached the center of Amethyst room, which including piles of stuff Amethyst collected and there were gemstones that seem to sparkle everywhere. Garnet placed the pile down on the ground and walked off.
"Oh, Garnet." Steven started. "Stern but practical. Just like Spilled Milk."
"You're not still on about that dumb cartoon, are you?" Amethyst asked, her hands behind her head.
"Oh, right. The quiz." Steven said, pulling out his phone. "Do you get defensive when people ask you about the feelings you prefer to keep hidden?"
"Don't get all psychological on me, Steven." Amethyst said, turning around to face him.
"Umm...Sorry?" Steven said. There was a moment of silence until the two heard growling.
"There!" Garnet said, firing her gauntlets at a nearby pile of stuff. The pile exploded when the gauntlets hit it and Garnet smiled but then frowned as she walked up to the rubble.
"Whoa, momma!" Amethyst said, running up to her. "So, did you get it?"
"No." Garnet said, making her gauntlets reappear. Amethyst climbed on top of the leftover wreckage and started to dig through it.
"Ugh." She groaned. "This is my stuff you're messing with. If it's gonna get wreck, then I'm the one that's gonna wreck it." She kicked some stuff around. "See? That's how it don-" She could finish as something wrapped around her leg and torso. It squeezed her and pulled her into the pile, where the faint sound of her poofing could be heard. Her gemstone fell to the ground where it can be seen.
"Ah!" Steven said, walking to where her stone was. "Amethyst got poofed."
"Slinker!" Garnet shouted, trying to track it. Steven walked up to Garnet.
"Garnet." He said, holding the stone.
"Steven, remember." Garnet said, holding up her hand. "Our bodies are only an illusion. Amethyst will be fine."
"But, Pearl took 2 whole weeks to come back." Steven said. "And I already miss Amethyst so much."
"Don't worry." Garnet said, kneeling down. "She'll be back before you know it." As soon as Garnet said that, the stone in Steven's hands started to glow and floated in the air. "Literally." In the blink of an eye, Amethyst reformed herself.
"Amethyst's back!" Steven said, hugging her. She pushed him off her and noticed something wasn't right. She had feet where her hands should be.
"Huh?" Amethyst said, looking at them.
"Looks like you've grow a few feet since the last time I saw you." Steven said, elbowing her on the shoulder.
"That was fast." Garnet said, looking down at her. "Even for you."
"It's no big deal." Amethyst said. "We've got a slinker to slunk." She started to cartwheel to the other side of her room. Garnet and Steven followed her.
"Hey, over here!" They heard her say and they rushed over, it was another giant hole and they entered it. The hole sparkled with small fragments of gemstones.
"Your new form is interesting." Steven said.
"Thanks, Steven." Amethyst said.
"I didn't know you could come back this different." Steven said.
"Thanks...Steven." Amethyst said, slightly annoyed.
"So, why did you come back with four legs?" Steven asked.
"Because I like walking!" Amethyst said, walking ahead.
"Wow!" Steven said. "I want four legs too!"
"No, you don't." Garnet said, as they continued to walk down the long path. "Amethyst rushed her regeneration, she should've taken her time."
"Like Pearl?" Steven asked.
"Yes." Garnet said. "Pearl put a bit more...thought into how she came back."
"Pearl! Pearl! Pearl! You know I can hear you!" Amethyst said, lifting some of her hair to reveal a giant ear. "I'm sorry I'm not like Pearl, with her fancy form and her clean room with no monsters in it..." All the sudden, she was attacked by the slinker again. It poofed her once more and vanished before Garnet had the chance to do anything.
"Amethyst!" Steven said, running over to her gem. "Amethyst got poofed again."
"This is a good opportunity for her." Garnet said. "Now, she can make a better form." As she said that, Amethyst's gem started to glow once more and Amethyst started to take form.
"She's coming back!" Steven said with Garnet letting out a groan.
"You're right, this is much better." Amethyst said. She formed herself to look like Pearl, hairdo and everything. Steven chuckled a little.
"She's doing Pearl." He said. Garnet said nothing and the trio continued to walk through the misshaped tunnel. Eventually, they were about to make their way out into another part of Amethyst room. This part were most gems stacked on top of one another to make pillars.
"Hey, Garnet." Amethyst said, walking next to her. "What do you think of my new look Garnet?" Garnet said nothing as they continued walking through the room. "I'm more like Pearl now! Isn't it wonderful? I feel practically perfect!" She started to twirl around.
"We need to focus on listening for the creature." Garnet said, looking around.
"Hey, Amethyst." Steven said, walking behind her. "Let's finish that quiz!" Steven pulled out his phone and looked down. "Do you need to plan ahead before you act?"
"Of course." Amethyst said, placing her nose in the air.
"Do you obsess over little details?" Steven asked.
"Completely." Amethyst said.
"Wow!" Steven said. "You're so method. Next time, can you come back as me?" Garnet stopped and looked at Amethyst.
"This is not a good choice for your form." Garnet said. Amethyst placed her hands behind her head.
"Lighten up, Garnet." She said. "Can't you take a joke?"
"It's not funny." Garnet said. "You've made yourself ridiculous."
"Ridiculous?!" Amethyst shouted.
"Keep your voice down." Garnet whispered. "The creature!"
"You wanted me to be more like Pearl and now I am!" Amethyst shouted.
"Pearl would've taking her regeneration seriously." Garnet said.
"What do you care?" Amethyst asked. "My form is my business!"
"It's my business when it effects the strength of the team!" Garnet shouted. The two were basically butting heads at this point.
"So, what? I'm not strong enough?" Amethyst asked. Before Garnet could answer, Amethyst felt herself being wrapped up once again. It pulled her between a pillar of gems and she held on to one of them. "Are you saying that I'm weak?" She poofed once again, Steven catching her stone before it hit the ground.
"Is it weird that I'm getting use to this?" Steven asked as Amethyst stone started to glow once more. Amethyst stone floated up to the air and she reformed. She had one arm that was bulkier that the other and a leg that was too. Steven started to back away from her.
"Does that new form...hurt you?" Steven asked.
"No..." Amethyst said, looking at him funny. She then focused her attention on Garnet. "Hey, Garnet. How'd you like to mix it up with this?" Garnet didn't say anything, she looked more disappointed than surprised.
"This form isn't sustainable, Amethyst." Garnet said.
"But...you're the one who said I needed to be stronger!" Amethyst said, blushing a little. There was a moment of silence until the sound of growling could be heard once more.
"OK." Amethyst said. "If it's my monster, I'll deal with it!" And she took off in the opposite direction. She smashed a pillar and made a path for herself. Garnet and Steven followed closely behind. Garnet grabbed Steven and made a jump to the center of the newly discovered room they were in. She landed and placed Steven on the ground.
"Stay behind me." She said, as she took off. Steven did just that and Garnet had to block an incoming attack from the slinker. Amethyst was tingled in what looked like the slinker tentacles. She struggled to try and pull herself apart from it, but it just entangled itself around her more.
"Amethyst..." Garnet said, looking at her struggle with it,
"No!" Amethyst said. "I don't want to her it! You told me I needed to be stronger and I am! I'm being what you want!"
"I don't want this!" Garnet shouted.
"Well, what do you want?" Amethyst asked, as she continued to struggle with the slicker. "Tell me and I'll do that!"
"I can't tell you, Amethyst." Garnet said. "You have to figure this out for yourself!"
"She can't!" Steven said, looking up at Garnet. "She doesn't want to think about herself!" Both Amethyst and Garnet looked at Steven in surprised.
"What?" Amethyst said, before the slinker poofed her again. Garnet punched the slinker sending it flying and Steven went to pick up Amethyst stone.
Four Hours Later
Steven and Garnet made it out of the labyrinth that was Amethyst's room. Steven was laying on the couch, looking at Amethyst's gemstone. Garnet was by the kitchen counter, talking to Pearl.
"I knew that thing was real." Pearl said. "When Amethyst gets back, we have to go find it." Pearl walked to were Steven was. "How long has it been?"
"Four Hours." Steven said, sadly looking at the stone.
"Four Hours?" Pearl repeated. "She never taken so long. What is she doing in there?"
"I'm not sure." Garnet said, folding her arms. "I was too hard on her." Suddenly, Amethyst's stone started to glow and float in the air. A few moments later, Amethyst reformed. She landed on the coffee table and stretched her limbs.
"What?" She said, after she noticed that everyone was staring at her.
"Aw, you barely changed." Steven said, after noticing Amethyst's appearance. She had on a black muscle t-shirt and purple leggings with stars on them.
"Steven!" Pearl said. Garnet walked over to where Amethyst was and looked down with Amethyst looking up at her.
"It's perfect." Garnet said, smiling at Amethyst.
"Eh, whatever." Amethyst said. "It's just what feels right."
"That's why it's perfect." Garnet said. Pearl walked over to examine Amethyst.
"It is a marked improvement." Pearl said. "You finally fixed that shoulder strap that always bugged me." Steven ran over to hug her.
"Welcome back!" Steven said, still hugging her.
"Well done, Amethyst!" Peral said, hugging her as well.
"Knock it off." Amethyst said. Garnet joined in as she hugged her as well. "We gotta go find the slinker."
"Nope, Hug time!" Steven said.
"Ugh. This is so dumb!" Amethyst said, blushing.
End Flashback
An explosion shook Amethyst's from her thoughts and she heard a knock on her door. Amethyst got up and went to her door to see what was going on. Her opened it and Garnet was standing outside of it.
"There's trouble outside." Garnet said, running from Amethyst door to the temple door.
"OK." Amethyst said, following Garnet. It was getting dark outside and Amethyst let out a gasp at what she was seeing. There were a whole bunch of giant crab monsters on the beach. Pearl was already outside, trying to hold one back.
"Where did they come from?" Amethyst asked, pulling out her whip.
"I don't know." Pearl said, hitting one with her spear, making it poof in an instant.
"We've never had to fight this many corrupted gems at one time." Garnet said, as she jumped from the temple stairs to join in the battle. "We'll try to hold off as many as we can."
"OK." Amethyst said, joining the battle. "Where's Steven?"
"He's with his dad." Pearl said. "Hopefully, he doesn't come back for a while until we've cleaned this mess."
"Hey guys!" Steven said, running up to them. They all groaned, as Steven has the worst time of showing up when situations got dire. He stopped in his tracks when 2 monsters decided to focus their attention on him. He was about to summon his bubble shield when a wave of purple energy poofed them in an instant. The gems paused to see where that energy came from. They seen a figure slowly making its way towards them.
"Who is that?" Pearl asked, as she dodged a crab's attack.
"Don't know." Garnet said, punching a crab so hard that it flew into the wave of purple energy came their way and poofed about half of the crabs on the beach.
"Whoever it is, they're crazy strong." Amethyst said, looking as the figure came into view. It was no other than Jet, carrying a traveler's bag with him. The others let out a gasp when they seen him, he looked totally different. He was wearing a black t-shirt with a red star in the center. He also had on baggy red pants with black stars all around them. He had a scar across his left eye and he was holding his weapon in one hand, its blade now a fierce black.
"Hey guys!" Jet yelled. "What the hell are these things?" Jet shot other wave of purple energy, effectively poofing the remaining crab monsters. Jet made his way towards the rest of them, who remained silent towards him.
"Jet?" Steven was the first to speak. "Is that you?"
"Yep." Jet said, sitting his traveler's bag on the ground. "I would've been here earlier if the bus haven't broken down...twice." Garnet and Pearl walked up to where Jet was. Jet's height was about the same as Garnet's now and he could see that she was smiling.
"Welcome back." She said, hugging him. He blushed as Garnet never hugged him before. It was an awkward feeling for him. Pearl hugged him next.
"We thought you were...well, you know..." Pearl said, still hugging him.
"Dead?" Jet said. "Naw, I'm too tough to die."
"What happened to you?" Steven asked.
"I'll tell you in a moment." Jet said, looking around. "Wasn't Amethyst just out here?" Pearl and Garnet looked at each other.
"Amethyst thought you were dead, so she took it the hardest." Pearl said. "She ran in the house after noticing you."
"It's OK." Jet said. "Can we go in the temple and talk? I have a lot to tell you."
"Sure." Garnet said. "But, we should bubble these gems first."
After bubbling the gems, Jet was inside the temple telling the gems about everything he's been through. He started after he seen Garnet get split in half the night that the home world gems showed up. He told them of how he lost it and he told them about his special ability, which was Berserker Mode. He told them about his escape from the ship and his harsh training with Master Sho.
"...I should've call but I really couldn't do that." Jet said, as he leaned back on the couch. "If I wasn't training, I was sleeping or eating. My body should be destroyed but I'm half gem so that's good."
"What happened to your hair?" Pearl asked.
"Master Sho made me cut it." Jet said, frowning a bit. "He's something like a monk. He wanted me to go completely bald, but I convinced him to leave me like this." Jet pointed to his head, which was a low-cut hairstyle. "I was against it because it was the last reminder of my parents... it doesn't bother me anymore. I kinda like it."
"I like your outfit." Steven said, noticing Jet's attire.
"Thanks." Jet said. "It makes me feel like an official part of the team now." Jet grinned when he finished that statement. Garnet lightly punched his arm.
"Silly boy." She said. "You were always part of the team, a part of the crystal gems."
"I know." Jet said, blushing a little. "But I wanted the clothes to show it. So... enough of me talking, what happen since the battle on the ship? What's been going on since I been gone? How bad did you beat Jasper, Garnet?"
Garnet told him about her battle with Jasper and about her being a fusion (which shocked Jet a little). She mentioned the union of Jasper and Lapis, which shocked him more. She also told him about the small missions they've been on and about Amethyst reforming. Jet nodded his head, understanding that they've been through about as much turmoil as he has. It was getting late and both Steven and Jet let out a yawn. Steven wished them all a good night and turn in for the night.
"He's got the right idea." Jet said, letting out another yawn. "Those home world gems owe me a house. Can I stay here for a while?" Garnet nodded her head and got up. She walked over to the gem door and mentioned for Jet to come over. Jet raised an eyebrow and walked over to her. He smiled when he noticed that it the normal 5 gems around it, the only difference was that it hosted a black gem in the middle of it.
"Is this-" Jet started to ask.
"Yes." Pearl said, walking up to them. "This is your room that we had made for you."
"We had a feeling you might come back." Garnet said. "Just place your hand on the gem and it will react to you." Jet smiled and placed his hand on the smooth, black gem. The door opened and he walked inside. The room hosted a huge bed and the room sparkled with red and black gems that glowed the room. The room itself looked spacious. He looked around some more and noticed a few of his things from his house was there. It was marked on a box that read, 'Jet's stuff.'
"Some of my stuff was spared?" Jet asked, lifting the box that contained his things. "You guys are awesome!" He went to Garnet and hugged her then he hugged Pearl, who let out a blush. "There's one more gem I should thank..." Jet said, leaving his room with the others following. Jet then proceed to knock on the door, calling for Amethyst.
"Amethyst, let me in!" Jet shouted. There was no answer. Jet turned to Garnet and Pearl. "Was she really that upset?"
"Kind of." Garnet said. "She was acting out from time to time. Her reforming was an example of that." Jet sighed and knock on the door again.
"Amethyst!" Jet shouted. "Let me in or I'll break this door down... I can do it you know!" Jet turned behind him and noticed that Garnet and Pearl were staring blankly at him. "I won't really do that." He added, causing them to giggle. The door opened and Jet went in. Jet walked around and noticed that the room still looked the same as it did before. He kept walking until he noticed Amethyst was sitting on her bed, holding his trench coat. She looked up when she noticed him walking towards her.
"Can I seat down next to you?" Jet asked. She nodded and remained quiet. "What's wrong? I thought you'd be happy to see me?" Amethyst remained quiet and Jet let out a sigh. "I guess I have to look at it from your point of view. I'd be pretty sad if someone I cared about seemed to die in an explosion only to come back a few months a changed person huh?" She looked at him and started to laugh. "Ah, there's the Amethyst I know."
"Shut up." She said, still laughing a bit.
"I'm sorry I didn't call or anything like that." Jet said, moving closer to hug her. She hugged back, inhaling his scent. "I don't want anything what happened that night repeat itself. I had to get stronger, not for my sake but for your sake... for the crystal gem's sake." Amethyst pulled apart from him, looking at him.
"Since when did you turn into Mr. Serious?" Amethyst asked. Jet grinned at this.
"I've always been Mr. Serious." Jet said. "Shall I prove it?" Amethyst blushed at this. She took another look at Jet and noticed the scar on his left eye.
"What happened to you?" She asked.
"What do you mean?" Jet asked her.
"That's a wicked scar you have there." She said, point to his eye.
"Well..." Jet said, scratching his cheek. "My Master Sho is a tough teacher. I made a mistake and paid for it. I have a lot of scars of my mistakes..." He got up and took off his shirt. Amethyst blushed but then let out a gasp when she noticed all the scars that Jet now had on his body. "I'm pretty proud of them because I learned from those mistakes." He sat on the bed and Amethyst traced one of the scars on his chest with her finger.
"That kinda tickles." Jet said, laughing at bit. Amethyst smiled and kissed Jet. Jet was surprised at first but soon started to kiss back.
"Welcome back." Amethyst said, breaking the kiss.
"Thanks." Jet said, blushing a bit. "It feels good to be back..." He looked at Amethyst.
"What?" She asked when she noticed that he was staring.
"I'm digging the new look." Jet said, noticing her attire.
"Well, it feels right to me." Amethyst said. Jet smiled and kissed her, earning a moan of surprise from her.
"You know..." He said, gently pushing her on the bed. "I still feel like I owe you something."
"Yeah?" Amethyst said, looking at him in anticipation. "What do you have in mind?"
"Well." Jet said, smiling at her. "I have way more stamina now, so I'd figured we can have a go at it." Amethyst blushed and nodded her head.
"Fine." She said in a mocking tone. "Have it your way."
"I intend to." Jet said, kissing her once more.
