A/N: Hello everyone, I am back with chapter thirty three of this story. Here, we have the climatic battle with Aquamarine and Emerald.
Disclaimer: I don't own Steven Universe
Steven, Amethyst and Ruby where trapped. They had fallen right into it and now they where trapped by Aquamarine while Emerald held Sapphire at bay.
"You three are so pitiful!" laughed Aquamarine.
"I knew they'd fall for the trap." said Emerald.
"Actually, it was my idea." said Aquamarine annoyed.
"I'm pretty sure it was fine, but whatever." shrugged Emerald.
Aquamarine let out an annoyed growl.
"Now that we have you three, we have to wait for the others." said Emerald.
Aquamarine quickly composed herself.
"Correct. Then we will shatter the dullard and return with Rose Quartz." said Aquamarine.
While Steven and Ruby did their best to stay firm, Amethyst got an idea.
"How do you know there here?" asked Amethyst.
A look of shock came to Emerald.
'What do you mean?" asked Emerald concerned.
"It could be the three of us acting alone." answered Amethyst.
"Oh my stars." said Emerald worried.
Emerald turned to a smug looking Aquamarine.
"You're plan better work." said Emerald.
"I was scouting out the entrance to this place and saw all of them." revealed Aquamarine.
"See! My brilliant plan worked!" declared Emerald.
"It's not your plan." stated Aquamarine angrily.
"Fine...our plan." sighed Emerald.
Emerald turned back to the trio.
"Look at you trapped fools." cooed Emerald.
"What are those furry squeaky thing you humans call vermin? You you someone is trapped like them?" asked Aquamarine.
"Rats?" asked Steven.
"Yes. You're trapped like rats." answered Aquamarine.
"She's been here this long and she doesn't remember what those things are called." muttered Emerald.
"I don't like being here and you probably didn't know what they where either." said Aquamarine.
"Um, I have a question." said Steven.
"Not now!" snapped Aquamarine.
"I just wanted to know who'd get credit for this." said Steven.
"We both will." said Emerald.
"But, Aquamarine failed and Emerald had to bail her out." noted Steven.
"That is true." mused Emerald.
"No it isn't!" declared Aquamarine.
Amethyst quickly caught on.
"That's what I'd call it." said Amethyst.
"I was betrayed by that clod Topaz!" screamed Aquamarine.
"Make all the excuses you want." said Emerald.
"You wouldn't have done this without my knowledge!" cried Aquamarine.
"Of course I would have! I am an Emerald!" declared Emerald.
Emerald rubbed her chin.
"Come to think of it, I don't see why I should share credit with a failure like you." cooed Emerald.
'You bastard!" screamed Aquamarine.
Aquamarine and Emerald got into each others faces as they loudly traded insults.
"Do you think this will work?" asked Amethyst softly.
Steven heard faint noise from nearby.
"I think it has." answered Steven.
Before she could say another word, Aquamarine spotted something in the corner of her eye. Aquamarine was nicked by a flying shopping cart that caused her to drop the wand. This freed Steve, Amethyst and Ruby.
"Imbecile!" snapped Emerald.
Emerald heard a whistle and turned only to get creek water thrown into her face.
"Backup is here!" declared Bismuth.
"How did you find us?" asked Emerald angrily.
"It wasn't hard with all the yelling." answered Lapis.
"You could probably hear you two fighting on Homeworld." added Peridot.
"Look at what you did!" exclaimed Aquamarine.
"This is your fault!" declared Emerald.
Aquamarine looked at the trio.
"It's a shame that traitor Topaz isn't here." mused Aquamarine.
"We don't need all of them here when they outnumber us already." replied Emerald.
On cue; Connie, Pearl and Topaz arrived.
"Found you!" declared Connie.
Connie drew her sword.
"All of that yelling it made is easy." said Pearl, drawing her spear.
"Look at what you did! You had to open your mouth!" cried Emerald.
"Don't blame this on me!" cried Aquamarine.
The two returned to fighting as the Crystal Gems grouped together.
"How long have they been like this?" asked Pearl surprised.
"That's how we found them." answered Bismuth.
"Steven got them fighting so they'd given their location away." revealed Amethyst proudly.
"Oh Steven that was brilliant." cooed Pearl impressed.
"With Aquamarine, I'm not surprised it worked." mused Topaz.
The two turned their attention back to the Crystal Gems.
"Okay, we'll take on all of you." said Aquamarine calmly.
Emerald put her free hand around the chin of Sapphire.
"Besides, we have...insurance." said Emerald.
"Don't touch her!" demanded Ruby angrily.
The area around Ruby began to smolder.
"Ruby, you have to stay calm." warned Steven.
Aquamarine and Emerald laughed over how easily Ruby was angered.
"Now then." said Aquamarine.
Aquamarine used her wand to lift a large boulder.
"Time to squash these bugs once and for all!" declared Aquamarine.
Aquamarine hurled the boulder at the Crystal Gems who ducked.
"You can't run forever." said Aquamarine.
Aquamarine tossed another boulder and the Crystal Gems again ducked.
"We need to fan out." said Pearl.
The Crystal Gems quickly spread out as far as they could.
"Fine by me." said Aquamarine.
Aquamarine spotted something out of the corner of her eyes.
"This will be nice." said Aquamarine.
Aquamarine picked up the shopping cart and tossed it at Peridot.
"I have metal powers!" declared Peridot.
Peridot tried using her metal powers, but was hit by the flying shopping cart.
"Are you okay?" asked Lapis worried.
"Fine." answered Peridot.
"Your silly powers are no match for mine." said Aquamarine smugly.
"How about mine." said Amethyst.
Amethyst grabbed the leg of the cart with her whip.
"Oh no you don't!" declared Aquamarine.
Pearl threw her spear, but Aquamarine dodged.
"Nice try!" laughed Aquamarine.
Steven tossed his shield like a frisbee. He clipped the left wing of Aquamarine allowing Amethyst to take control of the shopping cart.
"It's your Bismuth!" declared Amethyst.
Amethyst whipped the shopping cart at Bismuth and crushed it with one of her hammer hands.
"Once this is over, I can salvage what's left of the metal." mused Bismuth.
"I thought you had this under control." noted Emerald.
"Shut up!" barked Aquamarine.
"Hey Steven, ya ready?" asked Amethyst.
Amethyst held out her hand.
"Yeah." answered Steven.
Steven took her hand and they fused.
"What is that disgusting thing?!" asked Aquamarine.
"Smoky Quartz, at your service." answered Smoky.
Smoky pulled out her yo - yos.
"Oh, it's a fight you want." said Aquamarine.
Aquamarine grabbed a boulder with her rock.
"Fine by me!" declared Aquamarine.
Aquamarine hurled the boulder, but Smoky broke it into pieces with her yo - yo.
"Damn!" snapped Aquamarine.
"Don't that freak beat you!" called Emerald.
Emerald heard a throat clearing.
"Oh no." whispered Emerald.
Emerald turned to see Pearl, Connie, Topaz, Bismuth, Peridot and Lapis had approached while Emerald and Aquamarine where distracted by Smoky.
"Hello there." said Emerald weakly.
Emerald aimed her de - stabilizer at the group.
"Stay back!" ordered Emerald.
"Or what?" asked Bismuth confident.
"There's more of us than there are of you." added Lapis.
Connie stepped forward.
"And as a human that wouldn't have any effect of me." said Connie.
"Don't forget I have a hostage." said Emerald, a bit more confident.
Emerald heard kissing and turned around to see Sapphire and Ruby kissing.
"Oh damn." sighed Emerald flatly.
"I'm so glad you're okay." said Ruby, holding back tears.
"I knew you would save me." said Sapphire.
They continued to kiss and reformed Garnet.
"Garnet!" cried the Crystal Gems in relief.
"Nice to see you." said Garnet.
Garnet dropped her visor and turned to Emerald.
"And as for you wedding crashers..." said Garnet.
Emerald gulped as she saw her reflection in Garnet's visor.
'Stay back!" declared Emerald.
Emerald held out her de - stabilizer.
"I'm warning you!" cried Emerald.
"I'm not afraid of your little toy." noted Garnet.
"This is bad." thought Aquamarine.
Emerald turned toward her.
"Help me!" demanded Emerald.
"I think it's time I drop dead weight." said Aquamarine.
Aquamarine flew off.
"Toodles!" called Aquamarine.
"You damn coward!" screamed Emerald angrily.
Emerald was now alone.
"Stay back!" demanded Emerald.
"Garnet!" called Smoky.
Smoky used her yo - yo to Emerald and knock the de - stabilizer out of her hands. Thanks to Future Vision, garnet was at the exact spot to catch it.
"Give me that back!" demanded Emerald.
"You're in no position to make demands." said Garnet.
Like she did in her fight with Jasper, garnet snapped the de - stabilizer in half with ease.
'I'm sure we can work something out." said Emerald scared.
Emerald was now completely encircled.
"Garnet, I think you should do the honors." said Smoky.
Garnet punched Emerald in the stomach with a right uppercut that destroyed her physical form. Garnet bubbled her stone and sent it off to the Burning Room.
"I was so worried!" declared Pearl emotionally.
"We all where." added Bismuth relieved.
Smoky Quarts split back into Steven and Amethyst.
"Sapphire saw all of this coming." said Garnet.
"Speaking of, I noticed your right hand is the one that poofed her." noted Connie.
"They crashed her special day." shrugged Garnet.
"I'm just glad this is over." sighed Steven.
"Aquamarine got away." replied Topaz worried.
"Do you think she'll be back?" asked Peridot concerned.
"I'm sure she will." answered Lapis flatly.
"For now, let's relax." said Garnet.
A/N: That's where we'll end this chapter. So, Aquamarine escape, but Garnet is back together and Emerald has been caught. That's one less thing to worry about. Next time, we deal with the aftermath and begin wrapping things up. Please review.
