A/N: Hello everyone, I am back with chapter twelve of this story. Here, the first group tries to reach the others before Emerald.
Disclaimer: I don't own Steven Universe
Frantic. That was the one word to best describe who the Crystal Gems felt. Steve, Connie, Lars, Amethyst, our Pearl, the two gems that made up Rhodonite and Padparadscha all made their way through Homeworld.
"I hope you know where they are?" asked Steven hopeful.
The three humans where hidden in the middle of the group to keep them as unseen as possible.
"Unfortunately not." answered Pearl.
The group tried staying calm while running.
"Guys, we've gotta pick up the pace." said Amethyst.
Amethyst had transformed into the size of a regular Amethyst,
"If we go too fast, we'll drawn unwanted attention." noted Connie.
"So, we run aimless around until we find something?" asked Lars surprised.
"Unfortunately." answered Pearl.
The group stopped.
"He has a point." said the other Ruby.
"What do we do?" asked the other Pearl anxiously.
The group stopped.
"That is a good point." admitted Pearl.
"We can't run around aimless!" declared Padparadscha.
The group saw a group of Amethyst run by.
"That could be a good hint." said Steven.
"Should we follow?" asked Lars.
The group shared looks.
"I'm going." answered Steven.
"Me too." said Connie.
"I thinks it's best we all go." said Pearl.
"Yeah!" declared Amethyst.
"Let's go." said Lars sweating.
Meanwhile, the second half of the group where still hiding. Our Ruby and Sapphire where talking with each other while the Rutile twins where conversing with the gems that made up Fluorite. They where growing bored, but knew they couldn't move. Finally, the group heard footsteps coming their way. They all stood up ready to go when the door was kicked open.
"Well, well, well..." began Emerald.
Emerald stepped forward.
"Found you." said Emerald.
The group of Crystal Gems gasped in horror.
"You avoided me longer than I thought." admitted Emerald.
Emerald smirked.
"But, there was no way you could escape." stated Emerald.
Emerald snapper her fingers and Amethysts stormed into the room.
"There is no way out." said Emerald.
"We'll never surrender to you!" declared our Ruby.
Emerald let out a laugh.
"Do you honestly believe that?" asked Emerald amused.
"Yes." answered Sapphire.
Sapphire and Ruby fused forming Garnet.
"Our love is stronger than you." said Garnet.
"What an abomination!" spat Emerald disgusted.
Garnet put on her visor.
"Let's go." said Garnet.
"You Amethyst, grab the others." ordered Emerald, "While I deal with..."
Emerald pointed at Garnet.
"This." spat Emerald.
Emerald walked toward Garnet and stabbed at Garnet with her de - stabilizer. Garnet easily avoided the attacks.
"Jasper has better aim." said Garnet.
Garnet punched Emerald in the face. Emerald staggered and made sure her gem wasn't cracked.
"Good." sighed Emerald.
"Let us go!" cried the Rutile twins.
Garnet saw the others had been captured by the Amethyst.
"Give up or your friends are shattered." said Emerald.
Garnet looked back the other captured gems.
"Keep fighting!" cried Right Rutile.
"Forget us!" cried Left Rutile.
Garnet was frozen.
"I want your answer...now." demanded Emerald.
Before Garnet could answer, our Amethyst spin dashed into one of the Homeworld Amethyst.
"What the stars?" asked Emerald confused.
Pearl charged in and stabbed the Homeworld Amethyst holding the Rutile twins. The Homeworld Amethyst was poofed and the Rutile twins freed.
"A Pearl?!" asked Emerald stunned.
Steven ran out from behind Pearl and slashed the Amethysts holding the gems that made up Fluorite. The Homeworld Amethysts where poofed and the gems that made up Fluorite where freed.
"Alright Emerald, you're outnumbered." said Connie.
Emerald looked at the group and laughed.
"Thanks for all coming here to me." said Emerald.
Emerald noticed not everyone was there.
"There should be more of you." noted Emerald.
Steven and Connie shared a glance.
"Where are they?" asked Emerald demanding.
"We aren't telling you." answered Connie defiantly.
Emerald snarled angrily.
"I hope Lars and the others are safe outside." thought Steven.
Emerald shook her head.
"I'll just take you and find them after." said Emerald.
Emerald turned her head to face the Homeworld Amethyst.
"Get them!" demanded Emerald.
"Yes ma'am!" cried the Homeworld Amethysts.
The Amethysts attacked.
"We'll hold them off! You help Garnet!" cried Pearl.
Amethyst pulled out her whip.
"Battle time." said Amethyst.
Amethyst cracked her whip holding the other Amethyst back.
"You call yourself an Amethyst?" asked one of the Homeworld Amethyst.
"Damn right." answered our Amethyst.
The Homeworld amethyst cracked her whip, but our Amethyst cracked her whip. The two hit each other.
"Help me!" demanded the Homeworld Amethyst.
The Homeworld Amethyst began closing in, but the gems that made up Fluorite jumped on them.
"Hey!" cried one of the Homeworld Amethyst.
"Get off me!" demanded another Homeworld Amethyst.
"Never!" declared the gems that made up Fluorite.
"Weaklings!" snapped the first Homeworld Amethyst.
A whip cracked at the feet of the Homeworld Amethyst getting her attention.
"Don't forget me." said our Amethyst.
Nearby, Pearl was using her spear to hold off another Homeworld Amethyst.
"You're a Pearl!" cried the Homeworld Amethyst.
"I know that." replied Pearl.
"You're a servant!" exclaimed the Homeworld Amethyst.
Pearl rolled her eyes.
"You're lower than me!" snapped the Homeworld Amethyst.
Pearl used her spear to trip the Homeworld Amethyst.
"What where you saying?" asked Pearl.
The Homeworld Amethyst angrily got back up.
"You...lowly Pearl." said the Homeworld Amethyst furious.
"Stop it!" cried another Homeworld Amethyst.
Rutile had jumped onto the back of the Homeworld Amethyst.
"Get off me right now!" cried the Homeworld Amethyst.
"No way." said Right Rutile.
"Keep fighting." said Left Rutile.
Nearby, Garnet, Connie and Steven where fighting Emerald.
"Do you really think two humans can stop me?" asked Emerald.
"We're not ordinary humans." answered Steven.
Emerald stabbed with her de - stabilizer, but Steven threw up his shield. The de - stabilizer destroyed the shield.
"Got you." said Emerald.
Connie and Garnet jumped into attack Emerald, but she jumped back and out of the way.
"Get back!" cried Garnet.
Garnet pushed Connie back and jumped as Emerald stabbed at her. Steven grabbed the de - stabilizer.
"What the...?" asked Emerald horrified.
Steven was holding the de - stabilizer, but he wasn't poofing.
"You're not going to hurt my friends." said Steven.
Emerald kicked Steven and staggered backward. The de - stabilizer hit the floor.
"What are you?" asked Emerald disturbed.
"Steven." answered Steven.
Emerald, Steven, Connie and Garnet all dove for the de - stabilizer.
"Give me that!" demanded Emerald.
"No!" cried Connie.
"Hold on." said Garnet.
Garnet jumped forward and punched Emerald knocking her back. Steven and Connie ended up with the de - stabilizer.
"My de - stabilizer!" cried out Emerald.
"You take it." said Connie.
Connie took her hand off the de - stabilizer giving it to Steven.
"I don't need it." said Steven.
Steven snapped the de - stabilizer over his knee.
"No!" screamed Emerald.
"It's over." said Garnet.
Emerald got back to her feet.
"If you didn't think I can't fight without my de - stabilizer then you're sadly mistaken." aid Emerald.
Emerald jumped forward and punched Steven, but Connie blocked it with her sword.
"Human." said Emerald angrily.
Garnet then punched Emerald several times.
"You freak." spat Emerald.
"Is that all you have?" asked Garnet.
"You'll be shattered." said Emerald.
Emerald punched with both hands, but Garnet blocked them with her gauntlets.
"The organic." thought Emerald.
Emerald jumped to her side avoiding being cut by Connie.
"Too slow!" cried Emerald.
Emerald kicked Connie knocking her on her side.
"Connie!" cried Steven.
Emerald quickly began jumped back dodging Garnet's punches.
"Connie!" cried Steven.
Steven ran over to Connie.
"Are you okay?" asked Steven.
Connie quickly got up.
"Yeah." answered Connie.
Steven re-summoned his shield.
"Let's go." said Connie.
"Yeah." agreed Steven.
The two charged in as Emerald was still dodging Garnet's attacks.
"Emerald!" cried out Steven.
This distraction worked and allowed Garnet to land several blows.
"Damn you!" cried out Emerald.
Connie dodged with her sword, but Emerald managed to dodge it. However, Steven hit her in the head with shield staggering her.
"Bull-eyes!" declared Steven.
Garnet then punched Emerald knocking her on rear.
"Give it up!" demanded Garnet.
Unfortunately, a large number of Topaz stormed in holding the two halves of Rhodonite, Padparadscha and Lars.
"We're about to be captured!" exclaimed Padparadscha.
Using this distraction, the Homeworld Amethyst captured Amethyst and Pearl.
"My, how the tables have turned." mused Emerald.
Emerald got back to her feet.
"Surrender or your friends met their demise." said Emerald.
Connie, Steven and Garnet shared worried glances.
"What do we do?" asked Connie worried.
Garnet took a moment.
"We have to surrender." said Garnet solemnly.
A/N: That is where we'll end things for now. So, just as it seemed the Crystal Gems where victorious the Homeworld forces seemed to have won. Next time, we pick up where we left off. Please review.
