Amythest was the first to reform. she awoke to a gory scene. dead on the floor, was the pink haired woman, who came here with pearl, who was being brought away from the grizzly sight in greg's van.
everyone swore she was holding a dagger before they all attacked her,
but it dissapeared.
amythest waited for steven to wake up and hey walked to their rooms togeteher. lapis left with peridot, and garnet along with bismuth helped poor pearl. lapis came back soon after, alone, with a local saphire. lapis moved water indoors to begin cleanup while the saphire looked on, contemplating.
-one week later-
The answer was clear.
This woman had a power that could be more destructive than gems.
They knew more were coming.
But not how many, or how strong, or when.
Bismuth was gung-ho, yet somehow cautious for once.
she said new weapons were needed. not in number, but in quality.
she said that her plan was to go and learn mastery of metalworking, all over the earth, or even the galaxy to build skill.
Garnet and the other witness saphire agreed. they believed that training was needed for everyone, Including bismuth.
So it had been decided. Pearl, Peridot and steven guarded the main base.
Lapis left for The desert. she needed to know how to fight without water.
jasper, now friendly, joined her.
garnet departed foreastern aisa. she wanted to learn new grappling techniques in the form of martial arts.
amythest lefto wander. she realized everyone knew what was wrong with them,
and she did'nt even remember what was right. a journey of self rediscovery.
All narrowly escaped an unfortunate end.
In the scorching desert, not far from where jasper was formed, two scandalous gems were at it. they succesfuly fonvinced everyone that they were there to train.
they were really alone together to have a little fun...
but it was cut short. they found a large cave near their " training " spot.
it was perfect. directly facing towards the sunset. Jasper remarked on the romantic nature before it all kicked off.
one chilly evening, a strange puddle was seen in the sand.
an anomaly. the twoof them thankfully knew what that meant. it could be one of the strong human's powers.
It was.
A blind man and a very largee man sat next to another.
the ladder in a luxury tent, plenty of supplies and very comfortable.
the former sat cross-legged with an ornate cane resting against his left temple.
These were the first two challengers. A man who could harness the power of the sun, ( only while immobile )
and a man who had 100% control over water
lapis had an equal opponent.
jasper had an easy target, but was vulnerable to the water.
A fight ensued, over the course of 60 seconds.
at the end, lapis actually wanted to train now,
and jasper was poofed.
It was eleven at night when jasper reformed and got a bit of a gift for her hard work...
Garnet Fought.
And Fought.
And fought.
The first person to beat her was to teach her their ways
The homestead was lucky, because it took too long.
like, the wrong amount of time.
garnet was so into the process that people came to her to fight, when she finally lost, it was to a suspicious man. an energy eminated from him.
he was flambuoyant, bold, and seemingly overconfident.
And won.
she fufilled her promise. he taught. incredibly well.
especially since he was an enemy in disguise.
one day, he approached garnet. she adressed him as sir, he treated her like a pet.
and he brought out his stand.
"Diver Down!"
"Dive!"
and it launched itself towards garnet's abdomen, which began to stretch every second paired with a matching yip out of garnet. this was pain.
As garnet recalled, she was somehow imprisoned by the enemy and was saved by amythest.
That was miles away from the truth.
...but to explain, you must know what wnt on with amythest...
amythest ate,
and fought,
and cried,
and read books,
and watched li'l butler.
and didn't feel.
she felt empty. so she stepped on the warp and went to a random place. and walked, and talked, and never rested, unless she just had sex. she became more acurate with her whip by casually using it every day. she amassed a following of many people for no reason. among them was a fly. unassuming. but this was under the control of a powerful human. it could rip your head off in one clean tear.
and amythest was so much better than it that she splatted it on the floor on her first try.
so she continued. she would walk.
if there was an ocean, she's walk on the seafloor. somehow, japan was her last destination.
in a rural town, she looked into a window of an odd american style house, and saw something horrific.
garnet was taking it behind from some jackass. she effortlessly snapped her wrist forward and the window shattered.
That night, amythest somehow was the mature one. garnet insisted she was just imprisoned, but everyone could tell that she loved that man unnatrually
the best force of fighters was born. pearl, now voluntarily retired from fighting, made the plan. the house was to be fortified.
bismuth had made large steel beams to hold up the new armored frontside, and gem cannons were mounted on the roof.
a single woman had changed the gems forever.
The end of their simple gem feud was at hand. The reformed crystal gems, with pearl at it's center, was brutal. the house changes attracted news crews, and clips of them quickly went viral.
A final push was made. a dangerously strong human sneaked in. they were weilding a sword that did't apply to the laws of physics. it was better than anything a bismuth could ever make, and it did't dissapear when the user died.
the fight was caught llive all over the world. intense media coverage fueled an insane crowd of reporters to crystal gem castle.
And pearl did what she did best.
she said a speech.
Suppose that you were sitting down at a table. The napkins are in front of you, which napkin would you take? The one on your left ? Or the one on your right ? The one on your left side? Or the one on your right side? Usually you would take the one on your left side. That is correct too. But in a larger sense on society, that is wrong. Perhaps I could even substitute society with the Universe . The correct answer is that It is determined by the one who takes his or her own napkin first. Yes? If the first one takes the napkin to their right, then there s no choice but for others to also take the right napkin. The same goes for the left. Everyone else will take the napkin to their left, because they have no other option. This is society Who are the ones that determine the price of land first? There must have been someone who determined the value of money, first. The size of the rails on a train track? The magnitude of electricity? Laws and Regulations? Who was the first to determine these things? Did we all do it, because this is a Republic? Or was it Arbitrary? NO! The one who took the napkin first determined all of these things! The rules of this world are determined by that same principle of right or left? ! In a Society like this table, a state of equilibrium, once one makes the first move, everyone must follow! In every era, this World has been operating by this napkin principle. And the one who takes the napkin first must be someone who is respected by all. It s not that anyone can fulfill this role Those that are despotic or unworthy will be scorned. And those are the losers . In the case of this table, the eldest or the Master of the party will take the napkin first Because everyone respects those individuals.
The Crystal gems will now be excepting people joining our grand army. i encourage enlisting.
Any questions?
