Freeman's Odyssey
Chapter: 114
Part.2 Log date: Ten thousand years
Universe Family Barn: Outside of Beach city
Steven is alone in the barn as the others are busy building the machine to stop the cluster in which he is looking at the diamond box in which he is pondering on his mother who he has never met before, but has seen photos and video footage. In many ways they are almost alike and he felt obligated to find out what had happened during the Gem/Combine war as there could be some mystery as in why the gems were corrupted at the end of the war.
He gathered up enough saliva and spat upon the palm of his hand as he rubbed it upon the diamond box. Then something magical happened as the same holographic display of the gem language is seen including gem-like video footage files as well that could uncover the mystery of an ancient war that had happened about ten thousand years ago and he had been told that his mother had been involved. He pressed one of the visual logs, and shows an image of his mother.
"If you found the diamond box" said Rose Quartz "I commend you for your efforts as there is something you should know." Pausing for a moment "The war started ten thousand years ago, how it was started. The assassination of the former empress of the gem home world Gray Diamond right in front of everyone and the ones responsible were the black gems who they were serving their masters."
"Whoa! Talk about wicked," said Steven
"At the time," said Rose "I was a general of 1st battalion of the gem army. Purple Diamond then became the new empress as we got reports of an army coming out of portals and attacking planets that were under our protection, including allies. They were ruthless and swift."
Log number two
He had pressed log two!
"They called themselves the Combine" said Rose "An empire bent on conquering other dimensions, with technology and forces that were unknown at the time according to a being that visited Purple Diamond empress. No one knew what this being was and I didn't trust him, something evil was about this being. The war for survival had begun,"
"Hey guys check this out," yelled Steven
The crystal gems had come running in along with peridot as they see what is transpiring and watch with great interest.
Video battle log: The battle Venus
It shows a full scale battle on screen with gems and forces of the combine that Steven could tell that are very scary.
"The war had lasted for twenty years and ravaged the universe itself "said Rose "Neither side giving up and other civilizations were in shambles or destroyed because of the war, Empress Purple Diamond ordered the gem home worlds ultimate weapon the Eradicator that would wipe out the entire combine forces in the universe and sealing the portals from once they came. I thought this was a wonderful idea…how wrong I was."
Video battle log: The final battle.
It shows massive armies of the gems and the combine in space or on the planet.
"I was there at the final battle," said Rose "The eradicator had been fired, whipping out the combine invasion forces. But before the final blow was struck they fired some sort of weapon of their own. I shielded myself and my unit, however at first I thought there was no change at all and the combine were merely sore losers. Only later to discover in secret, some sort of corruption of what I am not certain about"
"That's said," said Steven
Final log
"We won the war or did we," said Rose "As I fear a change is coming and I discovered Empress Purple diamond is not who she is or really is. All the black gems were executed after the war all but one. Black Diamond I reason to fear she is really Black Diamond! I plan to strike back when the time is right and I had sabotaged the Eradicator weapon. If I am no longer living or I am captured I implore you to stop this as I put the diamond box hidden in the old gem base on the moon. Good luck to you all."
End log!
Steven cried as the Crystal gems comforted him as peridot looked dumbfounded at this and knows everything she knew has been thrown right out of the gem world and wondered what to do now.
"Uh…what is that noise?" said Steven
An echo is heard outside and above their heads as all of them headed outside. They see four shooting stars, but something is different about these shooting stars in which these stars are heading into the direction of beach city.
"It looks like these stars are bleeding red" said Garnet
"Whoa talk about cool," said Amethyst
"It's very strange that shooting stars bleed," said Pearl "Unless this is something else,"
"You clods you don't understand," said Peridot "Were is serious trouble if it is them,"
"Who?" asked Steven,
"Blood diamonds," said Peridot
Beach City
Everything appeared to be normal at beach city as Steven's father and Connie are at the car wash in which they plan to visit Steven at his family's old farm. Suddenly a noise is heard in the background as for shooting stars shoot out from the sky and land in parts of the city, creating small craters in their wake. The people in the city looked rather surprised at first and then there is shock as four beings came out of where the shooting stars had landed. They looked rather odd and Connie takes out her phone, then dialed Steven's number.
"Steven," said Connie "I think the crystal gems need to be here, for freaky gems just showed up."
"Were on our way Connie," said Steven
Steven's place
Gordon Freeman had been tracking some type of strange energy source coming from this beach house near the ocean and at first glance it looked like a statue of a strange lady nearby a city. It would seem the locals don't seem concerned of it and noises are heard in the background as it sounded like rockets, he had found no Combine influence upon this dimension. Gordon went outside and spotted shooting stars crashing into the parts of the city, then screams echoed in the background as well and Gordon went to go investigate.
