Natsu's POV
What the hell is taking the ice princess so damn long? I wondered to myself while sitting at a table with the rest of the team. I let Gray pick a job for us to take when I heard a little voice in the back of my head,
'you should be looking for Amythyst, not sitting here being nice nice with these chums.' It said. It always said the same thing, and every time I ignore it, Although it is right, I should be looking for Amythyst. So why aren't I? I layed my head down on the table and clutched the upper part of my chest, where I knew a large Topaz Gem sat. I'm just thankful that the scarf igneel gave me covered it. Who knew a sentient gem could learn magic? Well apparently I can. I lifted my head as Gray was making his way back to the table, the jib he picked was just a simple monster erradication which wouldn't take all to long. Three days at most, I got up and took the flyer from him,
"Seems Simple Enough. Alright let's do it." I said and the rest of team Natsu got up. We walked to the doors where Mira waved bye to us and then we were off to the job,
What a stupid Idea that was.
It had taken us a day at least to reach the small town where the job was hosted, a town named Beach City. We were in our hotel room and the team minus me were discussing how to go about doing the job. I was in the corner of the room fingering my gem under my scarf. I couldn't help but get the nagging feeling that this job wasn't normal. Sure enough I heard a loud roar outside and we went out to investigate. It was a giant monster with many mismatched limbs along with lots of other smaller monsters. Immediately we all got into battle stances. It was then that I noticed the Gem in the middle of the large monsters being, I stood straight and walked in front of my friends and took off my muffler,
"Let me handle this brute." I said darkly as I summoned my gem weapons, two longswords and pointed one at the monster, "I'll never forgive what homeworld has done. They took me from Amythyst. Sooooo." I started as I started to run towards it,
"Let's see what you've got!" I yelled at it as I ran, cutting down the smaller monsters as fast as they came at me. I jumped once I was close enough to the monster and plunged my swords into the place where it's head should be, at least that's what I tried to do. It knocked me away and sent me flying away. I recovered and twisted my body so my feet hit the ground to stop me from going any farther. I ran towards it again and this time I used my magic to give me the little boost I needed to get the jump on it and plunge my swords into it's body. Slicing it clean in half using a little magic as another boost. It poofed and I looked at the gem that now laid on the ground, before taking one sword and shattering it. Making sure that it wouldn't reform. I quickly made work of the smaller minions. Making sure all Gems were shattered before walking back over to m friends. My swords disappearing along the way, Lucy looked at me,
"Natsu, what was that thing, and where did the swords come from?" She asked. I smiled,
"I'm sorry I kept this from you for so long, but my name isn't Natsu. My birth name is Topaz, and I'm a gem from a galaxy named Homeworld. I was made in a place called a kindergarten, where Homeworld made new gems in order to basically destroy the earth. I didn't want that to happen so I was to join a rebellion under the leader of what's known as the crystal gems, along with my best friend and love of my life Amythyst. However before we reached the hideout of the Crystal Gems I was captured and Amythyst and I got seperated. I've been looking for her ever since. As for the monster I just fought, that was a gross attempt at fusion by Homeworld, forcing two or more gems together against their will, it's sick, the swords came from my gem." I explained to the stunned team Natsu. Then Gray spoke up,
"So was the backstory you told us all a lie?" He asked, I shook my head,
"No what I told you is true. After I was captured, when I refused to give any information despite how much they tortured me I was thrown out onto the earth. Then Igneel found me and taught me magic, It takes a while for Gems to really age. I've been alive for almost 3000 years now. Again, I'm sorry I kept this from you for so long." I said as I grabbed my scarf off of the ground and brushed it off.
"I'm gonna go on ahead back to the guild, you can split the rewards amongst yourselves." I said as I walked by them and towards the train station.
*Time Skip brought to you by sentient rocks*
I arrived back in Magnolia ahead of eveyone else and when I got off the train I immediatly felt like someone smacked me in the face. I recovered and shook it off, then strated walking to the guild. However the longer I walked the more I wanted to run, like there was just something that I had to see at guild. I ended up giving to the feeling and I started running through the streets of Magnolia. I stopped at the large double doors of the guild hall and threw them open,
"Is Amythyst here?!" I yelled and asked. Hoping to any diety that was listening that the answer is yes.
