The Crystal Skull's Pocket Dimension
[Steven vs Mini Crystal Skulls]
Teleporting from left to right, up and down and all around, Steven found it nearly impossible to fight inside of the crystal skull's pocket dimension located within itself. Never mind trying to create a portal for all of his friends and mentor to escape, fighting was the only thing keeping the miniature crystal skulls at bay. And there were many, in fact ten million of them in total, and they were all around steven and his team mates. The pocket dimension was as wide, if not more expansive than the dimension inside of Lion's mane. It was like a small universe, a universe of multi-colors and lights and populated by powerful miniature crystal skulls.
Steven's punches, elbow strikes, knee strikes and kicks were powerful, crushing and devastating. All of his attacks produced crackling, thundering sonic booms. Not one attack faltered in destroying it's target. But as much damage and enemies Steven was giving and taking out, he was not without a challenge. in fact, Steven endured sharp ice attacks, bone crushing torrents of water, bone charring fire attacks, and having different limbs broken from earth based attacks, only for it to heal itself and endure more of the same.
There was absolutely no end to the miniature crystal skulls barrage of attacks, an hour could have passed, yet that could have meant an eternity or worse, Time finally came to end and the fabric of creation eroded away in a slow death. All Steven knew was that this endless fighting wasn't coming to an end, and he was beginning to lose strength.
[Carlos vs Mini Crystal Skulls]
Wielding a sword made of fast rotating air in his right hand and a shield of impenetrable air, Carlos Montoya slashed and sliced one miniature crystal skull after another. He raised his shield to block and repel physical attacks such as punches, kicks, elbow strikes. But it also to block elemental attacks like steam based attacks, large thorn covered brambles shaped like weapons and balled up fists, and more. Carlos, like Steven and the rest wondered if this would go on forever, there was just no end in sight and he too was beginning to lose stamina and the energy to go on.
"I know exactly why the crystal skull brought us here everyone! It wasn't to kill us, it was to weaken us to the point when and if we ever came out! We wouldn't have enough strength to pose a threat to it!" Carlos shouted to his friends.
One miniature crystal skull found an opening, and shot a punch across carlos's face that caused his sword and shield to vanish. the mini crystal skull then took the opportunity to land a gut busting uppercut when Carlos staggered.
"AAWGGHH!" Carlos groaned from the pain, but brushed it aside and allowed his anger and determination to lead his actions.
[Carlos]
"Carlos and Admiral Bells listen up! I know it's hard, but help me create a center for Steven just long enough for him to be able to create a portal to get back to earth!"
"What exactly did you have in mind Commander!?" Admiral Bells asked while fighting off his fair share of mini crystal skulls.
"I want all of us to produce one powerful attack that spans a wide area, think of this as Borromean Rings, three rings interlocked together with a small opening in the middle. Carlos, I want you to start, then Admiral you'll go second, leave the third and final ring for me. Ok? Ready, set...GO!"
Forbidden Air Method: Planet Eater, Hypercane!
Carlos crossed an 'x' on his forehead and in the middle of his palms and clasped his hands together. he closed his eyes and cocked his head back, clenching his teeth. Steven stood close by his mentor and spiritual older brother and watched his shirt shred away. but perhaps the most terrifying drawback to this forbidden air method was the skin on Carlo's face, and hands and forearms ripping away in small shreds. His blood leaked out and swirled around him along with his shredded skin and clothing.
"Carlos..." Steven said his name, sounding pained.
Admiral bells flew outwards to get away from the growing and expanding wall of rotating black air which cut like a wall of several million spinning serrated saw blades. Hurricanes on earth could get as big as an American state or a medium sized country, but a Hypercane could grow as big as a Continent, like North America.
"Ok Steven...i've made the center big enough to...aagh!...give you space...don't waste any...TIME! AAWGGHH!" Carlos shouted from profound pain.
Steven got right to work and traced a radial shape on his forehead with the tip of his right thumb and recited the words, "Magick Method: Magic Map!"
Steven's eyes lost their white sclera and dark pupils and began to glitter with a different array of colors, as did the areas around his eyes and entire forehead. He sat down on his calves and took a look at a large map with glowing dots and glittering words levitating in place in front of him. He needed to find earth on this map filled with words that were neither written in English or in any earth language for that matter. when he found the earth after much looking around in this cluster of many worlds, he needed to unlock a holo lock via magic for the portal to travel back to earth could open.
[Admiral Bells]
Second in line to form the protective second ring in this Borromean ring, Admiral Bells went as far as he could without killing himself, and created a very large physic dome barrier that was not as big or wide as Carlos's hypercane, but just wide enough and tough enough to provide a defense for both carlos and Steven. To show how much telekinetic power the martian was putting out, his eyes began to well up with blood which streamed down his black furry face and collected on his chin and dripped from there.
[Commander Soren Spessartite]
As the last link of the borromean ring, Commander Soren produced the last and most powerful protective ring for the admiral, Carlos and Steven. The black armor that covered his torso, back, arms and hands were all shattered when he took a core shattering punch from the crystal skull. But the armor on his legs and feet were not shattered or gone, that left his entire orange torso and arms exposed. But even without his trusted armor, Soren's body was tough and near unbreakable.
Punching his orange fists together, Soren recited loudly and proudly "Guardians at The Volcanic Gates! Warhammers and Swords!" A wall of royal blue fire formed around Admiral Bells, Carlos and Steven. This wall of royal blue fire was segmented by rising black volcanoes that let out non-stop plumes of thick black smoke.
In front of the blue walls of fire and billowing volcanoes, arose from nothingness a second wall of red and black armored large fanged ogres who stood with war hammers and giant swords raised up in front of their faces, hidden behind their helms. Based on Soren's heavy 'breathing' and taking a rest on one knee, the scale of the fire method level was well beyond advance, it was in a league of its own.
The mini crystal skulls that dared to fly through the walls of raging blue fire were turned to ashes, and those foolish enough to tackle on any of the armored ogres were swiftly cut down to pieces or shattered from either great swords or war hammers.
"The Wall is formidable Steven! But it's not going to stand forever, sometime today with that portal back home would be inspiring news!" Soren shouted as he fought and destroyed a multitude of mini skulls who came towards his walls.
Steven's hands ignited in magical purple colored fire when he started unlocking the numerous magical locks. He turned holo lavender levitating knobs of different shapes, pulled handles of varying sizes and unlocked small little 'mouse doors' with keys forged from magic. He had to turn, pull and unlock everything in a perfect synchronizing order. It didn't mean he had to do all of it at the same time, it just had to be done right, quick and without stopping until the portal to earth was opened.
"I almost got it opened Soren! Just give me a few more minutes guys. I didn't have a lot of time to practice unlocking inter and outer dimensional portals, partly because it is so confusing and requires a lot of focus."
"Then shut up and focus Steven!" Admiral Bells shouted at Steven.
"yes sir Cookie cat sir! Can I have another!" Steven Replied.
For as powerful and gargantuan in size Soren's Fire method was, this was still The Crystal Skull's dimension, and no matter how many of it's miniature replicas fell, there was just too many of them. Halting their combined attacks for a moment to gather together to form a giant size replica of it's main body. Bringing their giant combined opened hands closely together without closing, the multi million combined miniature crystal skulls generated dark blue energy that changed into a sphere of water.
"Oh my sweet Goddess, Steven!...the crystal skull is generating a lot of water , enough to breach my wall!"
"just one more minute, I swear I almost got it!" Steven promised Soren.
Pushing it's opened hands outwards in front of itself, The giant crystal skull fired a torrent of bone chilling water with the size and quantity of five oceans at Soren's wall of fire and ogre soldiers. Soren flew to get behind his wall and pressed his hands on the wall of fire. With a proud prolonged shout from deep within his inner core, Soren invigorated his fire method so its wall of blue fire turned spiteful black.
The rushing torrent of super cold water crashed against the wall of black raging fire. All of the armored ogre soldiers were blown away from the collision, vanishing into nothingness. Soren's wall was more than formidable for the endless rush of water crashing into it. but just like the with the mini crystal skulls, their was an unlimited supply of water and the wall which was being powered and reinforced by a commander, who have seemingly unlimited supply of energy,was starting to crack. No magic, no matter how powerful, could make Fire resist water for very long.
"AAAAAAHHHHH! YOU'RE GOING TO NEED MORE WATER IF YOU'RE GOING TO PUT THIS WALL OF FIRE OUT!" Soren howled defiantly, challenging the combined million of mini crystal skulls.
"I've Got it!" Steven scream out excitedly. Four lines of four different glowing colors emerged. Their colors were red, blue, green and yellow.
The lines all formed a seven foot vertical door with a knob. "Carlos and Bells, you can undo your defenses now, the portal's opened!" Steven told them.
first carlos undid his self destructive air method that absolutely punished his body. His natural healing ability regenerated the torn skin he had lost, while he jumped through the opened portal. Secondly was the admiral who ran on all four and jumped into the portal. The only one left was Soren who was still trying to keep his wall from being breached.
"Commander! Soren let's go!"
"Go without me Steven! I'm going to put a stop to all of these little annoying bastards! In case we get transported back here again, at least there won't be none anymore!"
"Soren pl-"
"It's okay Steven! you've got another fine commander outside who's got your back one hundred percent, you're going to need her help far more than she's going to need yours. I'll be fine, trust me. Now GO Damnit!"
Steven begrudgingly followed Soren's order and jumped into the portal, closing and locking the magical door behind him. Soren grinned and turned back to his crumbling wall. His chiseled glowing chest began to glow brightly with an inner fire that radiated from within him. From afar, an explosion several hundred times more powerful than a nuclear explosion filled the pocket dimension. Soren's fate was unclear.
Earth, Russia
5:30 [Morning]
Punching the crystal skull across its face back and forth with all of her might and power behind her, Connie Maheswaran was as relentless as the crystal skull, if not more. But as powerful as her 'Zirconium form' was, and it was powerful enough to give Connie a sizable advantage over the crystal skull for a while. The crystal skull's elemental attacks and defenses was still proving to be an obstacle for her.
As Soren told the rest of his comrades, Connie was able to by pass or circumvent the crystal skull's magic absorbing power and gem transformation negation ability by ascending past the need to generate and manipulate everything Earth related via through magic. Instead, she had trained and practiced for so long with the long dead commander Smoky's gemstone, she could use magic or her own will interchangeably to power her gemstone. A feat not even Steven or Carlos had mastered, but that was only because neither of them had the gemstone of a commander or was mentored by one to begin with.
A large purple door appeared in the sky, facing downward. The magical door opened up and Steven fell out first, with Admiral bells following behind him and Carlos who fell last. Connie felt the spike of magical energy coming from somewhere and turned to the direction where she felt that spike come from.
She looked around saw her team mates, and they did not look good at all. "My god, you guys look terrib-AGGHH!"
The crystal skull punched Connie, catching her off guard and sending her flying back to her friends who landed in the ocean. The crystal skull after all the fighting with Connie, looked like a stick with fists half the size it started out with. Connie had chipped away at his body with a flurry of attacks so much, it nearly met it's end at her hands.
With Connie distracted and a fair distance away from him, the crystal skull began to regrow all of the damaged areas of its body. Basically reconstituting itself.
With it's body one hundred percent reconstituted, the crystal skull knew Connie didn't have much left in her nor the stamina to go on, if she did...
The crystal skull turned its attention back to the land it was on and raised it's arms, Central Russia burned in a sea of fire created by the crystal skull which rippled across the country in rippling concentric rows.
The Indian Ocean
"We were gone for three hours Connie, please forgive us for not being here to help you fight against the crystal skull. But you stood your ground, or rather, your position high up in the sky against the crystal skull for three hours without any help. You truly are an exceptional student of an exceptional commander Connie, I'm impressed" Carlos told her.
"Don't try to flatter me Carlos, because that doesn't change the fact that all of you have been gone for three damn hours." Connie told Carlos and by extension both Steven and Bells.
"Hey give us a break Connie, that big bully transported all of us into some separate dimension inside of himself. You should have seen it Connie, there were like millions and millions of little crystal skulls. We were almost toast for sure."
"I have to agree with young Steven, every moment was spent trying to fend off either three enemies, ten enemies or," Admirals shivered thinking about his next statement, "one hundred enemies at the same time...uughh...it was just awful."
Connie stood up and undid her zirconium form, when she did, she staggered back and fell down on one knee. She grabbed her upper arms with both her hands and shook in pain, she hung her head low so her hair covered how much pain she was expressing. But, she fought through the pain that clung to her bones, burning her muscles, had jacked up her nervous system and causing her lungs to feel like she was breathing in ammonia.
"Where's...where's Commander Soren, why isn't he here with all of you?"
"Soren...was kind of...left behind" Steven replied.
"What!?...Ow!...You left Soren behind!?" Connie said, loudly and surprised.
"I didn't leave him behind Connie! Don't make it sound like I abandoned him. he told me to go because he said we needed you more than you needed us."
"So how's he going to get back? Because right now...i don't think there's much I can do for you guys. If Soren was here, we could have ended this before it dragged on this long. Right now, if I try to push my self into going into my next form...i'm going to die."
"Then don't Connie, you've done more than enough for us in our absence," Carlos spoke up, "Right now there's something me, steven and the admiral can do. Steven, do you remember "Stelos?"
Steven's head perked up and he blinked nervously. "Yeaahh...why?" he answered, sounding worried an nervous.
"I had fusion in mind. Stelos as we already know is kind of a...cold, calculating...psychopath. I figured that in order to wash out all of the negative aspects of Stelos, we could fuse with Admiral Bells. Admiral, you seem calm and stable, i'm sure that would balance out whoever we become."
"Wait a second carlos. Steven, you and and Carlos fused? When?"
"It was back in the place where Carlos was helping me grow and training me, it was my idea first. Turns out Stelos is dangerous and uncaring and has trouble written all over him."
"Why? You two don't seem like bad people, steven i've known you for a long time now and you've never displayed anything I consider evil."
"The problem isn't Steven, connie, it's me. You see back when I was living in the time of the Aztecs, war and human sacrifice had made me indifferent to killing, murder and other acts of evil. There was so much of that around me, I suppose that part of me which existed so long ago comes up to the surface when i'm fused with Steven. I'm not 'there' to suppress that side, so that explains why that fusion is dangerous."
"Cookie cat, what do you say? Want to fuse with me and Carlos?"
"Its not that I don't mind fusing young steven, I'm intrigued really. But the commander said the crystal skull's ability to undo fusions is still there, what about that matter?" Bells reminded his team.
"Maybe it can undo pure gem fusions, and maybe It can negate our abilities to manifest our gem auras, but we're still flesh and blood creatures, all of us. With the exception of Connie who has a commander's gemstone fused to her, the four of us have everything to lose if we don't try."
"Let's pick a spot and decide how we're going to do this" Admiral bells put in.
"Why? We're fine right where we are. The last and only time me and Carlos fused, we danced thirty feet apart from each other. With cookie cat here, maybe we should take up three spots, like the corners of a triangle."
"I think I get what young Steven is trying to say, we need to be equidistant from each other and slowly converge into one point or..." Admiral Bells trialed off, looking to Carlos who finished his statement.
"one body" Carlos said, "Okay boys, before we start, we need to dance in a manner that's comfortable or meaningful to each of us. Before we converge, we need to place our hands on top of one another. And then...we'll see who's born."
To the north Carlos stood, to the southwest bells stood on all four, and to the southeast Steven stood, nervous but ready. Connie rested on a stone pillar she raised from the ocean bedrock below. She sat cross legged, taking time to heal herself while she watched the dance of two hybrids and one martian.
Steven may have had no partner with him, but that didn't stop him from dancing true Rock'nRoll or what was known today as Boogie Woogie, by himself. Carlos took a more traditional Mexican dance style called Zapateado, which was akin to tap dance. And the Admiral, he danced on all four, sometimes raising his feet and hands one at a time.
Steven moved to an unheard rhythm playing in his head, Carlos tapped his feet wildly and quickly with his hands resting behind his lower back. And Bells hopped around in geometric shapes like squares, rectangles, triangles etc. Connie placed a hand over her mouth to stifle laughter from watching the admiral, but when the three of them got closer to one another, Connie's giggles subsided.
"Here it comes...here it comes..." Connie repeated anxiously the closer the three of them got within each other.
The moment came when Carlos, Steven and Bells placed one hand over the other. Carlos's gemstone began to glow in sync with Steven's while a small dot of light glowed from bell's forehead. Pink and olive green mixed with white joining in the mix. The three were pressed against one another almost by unseen hands.
Connie stood up from her pillar and stepped backwards from the shock of what she was seeing. Her friend and ex boyfriend Steven had vanished, as did Carlos and Bells. Instead, a seven foot all clear transparent body appeared. It was shrouded in a full body brilliant brown light that let out faint echoes, echoes which sounded like Carlos, steven and Bells speaking.
In this transparent body she saw a skeleton form, then muscle, tissue and all the major systems that made up a biological being. In this beautiful yet macabre display of hybrids fusing, Connie saw the gemstone of steven appear on the navel of this new being. Carlos's gemstone appeared on the same location as on Carlos's own body, and this new being's brain was aglow. Slowly the transparency began to fade, and so did the light.
Connie stared at the new being with mouth agape and eyes that couldn't believe who she was seeing.
Crystal Temple, Beach City
6:30 [Morning]
lying back on the couch running a hand over her stomach, Pearl could do nothing in her state except hear her friends fighting a hard fight outside of the temple. She could hear the heavy crashing of water, the snapping and cracking of ice shards or spikes, and the crackling of lightning. But perhaps the loudest noise she heard was that of Peridot's robot. It's steps were heavy and caused the ground to shake.
"their all fighting hard outside, a gem mother and her son, lapis lazuli, peridot, sugilite. Steven and everyone else is fighting the crystal skull, and all the while this beautiful planet you once saved Rose, is burning, it's dying. And the longer that walking abomination is still around, the less there will be to save in the end. Why oh why did I plan on getting pregnant so soon. No, it's not my fault nor is it Carlos's, neither of us could have known this was going to happen."
Sugilite punched, smashed, constricted and eviscerated the the water soldiers created by the crystal skull who created them to deal with the last of the old rebels, while it was away dealing with the five, now down to four man squad of steven, Carlos, bells and Connie.
'Panthera amarillo in cooperation with lapis lazuli, formed several walls of rushing water and electricity that disrupted and undid the forms of the water soldiers that were surrounding the temple and by greater extent, beach city. Gathering a large amount of water above her, Lapis formed a giant globe of water mixed with electricity from panthera amarillo.
Raising the globe of electrical water high above the city, Lapis began to rain down large heavy drops of electrical water down on the horde of water soldiers that still kept coming for them and starting to come on land. The falling large drops of electrical rain expanded and exploded with the force of a hundred exploding water balloons with a spread of a electricity that killed any living creature or cause damage to surrounding property.
Peridot's four armed robot served for more than just stomping, kicking and punching water soldiers that took her on or surrounded her. From the palms of her robot hands, Peridot fired a blast of super heated air that when she pointed it at a horde of water soldiers, they boiled rapidly and evaporated instantaneously. The passing blowing winds took the steam up into the sky where it vanished.
Russia
The once proud and superpower that went under a different name at a different time, Russia as being been plagued by floods that destroyed farmland and crops east of Moscow. Droughts turned the normal icy north coast into dry and cracked wastelands, despite the cold climate and icy waters washing up on its shores having no visible effect. To the west of moscow and over moscow, a perpetual blizzard buried the suburbs and the red city under ten feet of snow.
The World
Raising it's mighty hands high above its head, the crystal skull pooled together all of it's destructive power into a multi-colored sphere bigger than itself, smaller than the earth and just slightly more smaller than the moon itself. From this sphere of destructive energy, the crystal skull expanded it until it burst into a million energy beams that rained down on every nation of the world. It was a genocidal attack that was meant to wipe out all life on earth in one sweep.
Death and destruction came in the way of many forms and faces. In The United States, Large fissures cracked the continent and sent plumes of underground smoke, ash and magma rose to the surface. On the west coast of the united states, earthquakes ravaged the three western states, causing irreperable damage to land, cities and raising the death toll exponentially.
In Mexico, supernatural thunder clouds blanketed the whole country, rain with the same weight as metal fell, penetrating through cars, homes, businesses. Those unlucky enough to get caught in the path of this rain, which millions did, fell flat dead on the ground when the rain impacted their bodies a hundred times like bullets.
In the great white north, Canada, the country of maples and syrups and beavers, was facing a polar vortex unlike any in modern history. The temperatures dropped below zero and continued to drop. It got so cold, power plants died, cutting off power to cities and towns. The lakes and rivers and streams froze, families froze to death in their homes despite lighting large fires to resist the cold. Millions froze to death. Forests turned into frigid popsicles.
South american and central american countries experienced a flurry of plagues and disasters. El salvador's water supply was turned to blue lethal slime. Guatemala faced a disease that slowly turned it's people and creatures into stone. Argentina was covered in darkness with monsters that manifested from the darkness and killed and hunted people and pets, cattles and destroyed wildlife. Brazil's amazon forest, the lungs of the world, a different name brazil went by, began to die. Large mudslides and landslides affected Chile and gravity increased in venezuela, colombia and peru.
In europe, plagues of disease, frogs and swarms of flies and mosqitoes that darkened the skies ravaged several european nations. Africa was already suffering after the crystal skull's emergence. Asia saw firestorms and typhoons, golems made of stone and crystal form come to life where they overran cities and killed people by the scores. Like the rest of the world, asia was burning to the ground.
Looking pleased with it's work, the crystal skull's entire skull and body began to turn black with glowing red and orange veins branching around its body. It planned to melt into the earth where it would freeze the core of the earth, which meant there would no longer be any uplift or land or subduction and recycling of ocean sediments. Eventually, all of the mountains and islands would erode and be deposited on the seafloor, leaving nothing but a dead water world.
"Hey Asshole!" the crystal skull heard a voice that echoed with three voices from behind it. It halted transforming it's body to turn and see who was acknowledging it.
The crystal skull turned and saw with it's own eyes that this new person levitating only two hundred yards away from it's face gave off a powerful yet invisible aura which it itself could no see but only feel. There was also something off about this new person who the crystal skull never noticed or knew about until now. No matter how much it tried, the crystal skull was unable to separate this fusion, who only seconds after seeing him, pinpointed two distinct gem signatures coming from this being and some heavy psychic power from it's head.
"If you're wondering why i'm not unfusing, it's probably because i'm keeping these boys's unified by keeping the signals your body let's off like bad BO with my brain. It's not really my brain, it's the big walking talking cat guy's brain. Your signals are like radio waves, with gems acting as antennas, which become radio frequencies while the gem or hybrid's gemstones act as capacitors for the modulated radio frequencies that emerge as sounds. these sounds are commands that a fusion hears in it's head, which make then unfuse involuntarily. Oh shit, we're are my fucking manners heh heh, my name is Bones if you were wondering"
Bones appearance was strange but unique. He was a seven foot tall man with the appearance of a man in his late twenties. His skin tone was light brown. bones wore no shirt but had on black cargo pants. His feet were not human. They were big, with large claws and covered in black fur on the top.
His body was as hard as a rock and sculpted like a roman warrior of old. His hands were large and his fingers clawed with sharp claws. On the top of his hands were tufts of black fur and on his elbows as well. He sported a long black furry tail, much like a lion's, except the tuft of hair at the end was a mid bright burning ball of brown fire; brown symbolizing the mixing of pink and olive.
bones's eye color was a light shade of pink. a confident grin with one sharp fang visible plastered his face, which was soft, yet mature and hiding something with the confidence of an assassin. As for hair, Bone's hair color was jet black, long and spiky that reached down to his butt. Fuzzy black hair framed the sides of his face, his ears were not round nor small; but long and sharp with tufts of black hair on the top sides.
lastly on his bare back, bones had a black tattoo of a figure with a feminine shape with long flowing green hair, while holding on to a pink colored rose with a black center and a white dot between her brows.
"First and last warning, one punch. that's all that's going to take to finish you. This punch will have have enough mass to shatter you and turn you into dust."
one moment Bones was visible, and then he appeared to 'glitch' for a millisecond, and then...
BATHOOOOOMMMM!
a thundering boom several hundred times more louder than anything before it, rang across the entire northern hemisphere. then a planetary level blast of air howled forward from behind bones. the speed of All of the world's winds forced in one direction occulted the light of the sun in the entire eastern hemisphere, turning visibility to zero for both man and creature. It was like being in a hurricane, but on a planetary scale.
The crust of the earth undulated around once, rocking burning cities across the globe and razing them to the ground. The worlds oceans too undulated, creating hundred foot tall tsunamis that washed away coastal cities and extending deep into the seven continents, Antarctica included. Earthquakes came and went, storms popped up across the world sporadically. Bones's right hand which he used to land the planet changing punch, was burned to his very bones, and the bones which made up his hand were blackened.
Slowly, new tissue, muscle and tendons grew back around Bone's now healed bony white hand. Bones took a look around at him, using magic, he was able to see the worldwide destruction he had only added on with one punch.
"Dios perdoname, but I wasn't about to let this drag on and further and kill your beautiful planet. But that one punch, it was enough...wasn't it?" he questioned himself.
He looked in front of him, checking to see if the crystal skull had survived that planet changing punch. there was a thick layer of smoke in front of him. The source from multiple places, but most of it came from the crystal skull itself. Bones blew the smoke away by just waving his hand to the side. Bones saw the crystal skull slightly bent, with its arms crossed in front of itself to act as a shield. Its entire body let off a bright orange glow, similar to when a diamond has been super heated.
The crystal skull uncrossed it's arms and lowered them below its face. It's body glowed incredibly bright, but it was still able to move. In fact, it walked over to Bones, slowly.
"It's strange, I thought I would end up having to use 'Super earth mass punch' against yellow diamond, whenever her yellow ass got here. But you..."
the closer the crystal skull got to Bones, the first signs of not just damage, but it's end started to show. White glowing veins appeared all over it's body. Fracture lines branched out from the lines that covered it's legs, arms, torso and head.
"...But you're actually going to stick around for a few more mintues. Before you finally die, let me share something with you, and I hope your leader is listening. You succeeded in killing much of the earth. But it's still here, and there will be more death and destruction to come, but as long as gems and humans, even martians work together, we will repel any and all attacks posed against us, our friends and family and planets! Yellow diamond, when you get here, I got another punch waiting for you. The Jupiter Mass Punch. And if you truly are a goddess, and manage to survive that, there's always the last punch."
The crystal skull's arms began to turn to dust, those went first, and then it's torso, thirdly it's legs and finally it's head which let out a rage filled cry before exploding into a million little sparks of light.
"I wonder if Soren is...no, he'll be...he'll be...Ungh! Aaagghhh!" Bones cried out in agony, wrapping his arms across his body. He coughed up blood. blood ran down his nostrils and eyes. His heart beat increased to dangerous levels.
"Can...cel...FUSION!" Bones yelled out desperately.
The bodies of carlos and admiral bells began to seperate from steven in a grotesque manner. Flesh tore away from flesh, and blood ran down from all of their bodies. But in the end, the three were separated, unconscious and falling back down to the ground.
Luckily for them, Connie rode on top of a large piece of earth big enough to catch and carry all three of her friends. "Steven you dummy! did you know what I had to do to keep the east coast from being washed away! Our parents and friends live there you know."
"I'm so sorry...Connie...next time-"
"Next time you take this to space, our planet can't take more, not after everything that...that bitch from homeworld put it through."
"Hey...i was just...going to say... that...too." steven said softly before his words slurred and trailed off.
Connie took her friends back to the united states, whose eastern coast was protected by a long one thousand foot wall of rock. From maine down to florida, the wall held up against the crashing tides of several tsunamis created from bones's punch. There were only just a few holes and areas of damage that showed.
The sun was peeking over the western horizon, signaling a new day. But it was a day which billions wondered if it was still living for.
