Chapter 2 : Left Behind.
Amethyst was still running, until a roar was heard, freezing her in place. At this moment, she closed her eyes, hands on her head, her legs betraying her, as she fall down, on her knee. First, tears flowed one by one, then she sob...and suddenly she let a scream out, and as she cry, she felt a hand resting on her right shoulder, "I believe you came here to talk aren't you ?" ask a voice she would recognize every time she hear it. "Greg…" She whispered, pain on her voice. "Come inside, it would be warmer, at least for me."
Grimlock was watching the fire consuming the car. He then take his sword and cut the car in half, carefully taking Doug on his hand, Jasper was attentive of Grimlock's behavior. "He's dying, what do we do ?" asked Grimlock, "Bah, it's just a human, I don't care for…" Grimlock transformed and let a powerful roar, he lowered his head, letting Doug slid out of his maw. As his head touch the ground, the man awaken, screaming at the sight of Grimlock. "Please….don't...my wife, Connie, please…" "I will help you." the Dinobot said as he transform back on his bipedal form. Grimlock put his hand on the ground, Jasper climb on it, Doug on her arms, Grimlock then take back his sword and run... Before doing a U turn and redirecting himself. "Guide us Doug." said Jasper "...Guide us to your medical unit." finished Grimlock. A few minutes later, they reach the city, but Doug was becoming weaker at each seconds. "Come on, stay awake Doug, you have to." encouraged Grimlock, Jasper was perplexed, seeing the powerful and intimidating Dinobot, who just beat the crap out of her, kidnap her, trying to have a civilized conversation with her, taking her back by force….just to be scared like a 'kid' knowing this Doug was injured ? "I don't understand you….I mean you…" "Every life on the universe are valuable." he said, as a matter of fact. "Ok so explain why…" "I will listen to your questions later, for now I need to save Doug." "Here...this is the medical unit…." Doug closed his eyes, unconscious. "Prepare yourself Jasper." Grimlock said, he then throw Jasper towards the hospital entrance, as she used that momentum to glide, entering the hospital. She bumped on the reception desk, stopping her gliding, she quickly recomposed herself, screaming "I need help." A certain known doctor came, annoyed by the situation, "Here, I'm Dr Maheswaran….DOUG !" she run to her husband side, placing him on a medical bed, and running toward an urgency room. "What happened ?" she asked, tears already falling.
Fire erupted on the sky, Ronaldo was watching through his telescope as always, but this time, it would change his life. "Wait, there, that's unusual, and it's growing...or no, it's coming this way ! It's approaching." He look upward, seeing a black and purple jet, that wasn't terrestrial. "It seems to try to correct it's position, but..Shit !" Ronaldo jump on his left, avoiding de jet, as it crashed. Ronaldo stand up quickly and run toward it. The space jet then, transformed, forming a seeker. "Wait, it's a robot, yeah it's massive, nonetheless, just a robot…" "I'm not 'just a robot'...I'M SKYWARP !" He tried to stand, but just manage to rest on one knee. " Wait, maybe you...you need energie or something ?" "I…" And Skywarp fall, being on stasis lock. "Ok Ronaldo, this is your chance." And he run, knowing exactly where to go.
Amethyst make herself comfortable on Greg's van. They had just entered in the car wash to take a few cables, and to use the electricity of the place to use a tv and a radiator. Greg put a duvet around himself. "Ames ?" "I don't know if I can keep up with the situation anymore." she said, shyly. "What situation ? Is it about that Huge space robot ?" "How are…" "Steven came by, it was the first time I saw him afraid." "Well, yes, I mean it's so difficult to be a Crystal Gem for me, I was, not feeling at home, not strong enough to be a part of it. And just when I finally find a semblance of sense, a semblance of importance being a former Crystal Gem,...Those creeps, Jasper and Peridot came, then after a rude moment on space and a crash, that Grimlock 'joined' us, destroying Malachite like it was nothing. And disappear with Jasper's gem. Just like this." the chubby Gem hugs her knee, resting her head on Gred. "What am I supposed to do, supposed to think it ? What am I supposed to think about me now ?I wasn't strong enough before to really have an impact on our missions, but now with that Dinobot…" "You think you don't deserve a place with them anymore right ? I know that feeling, somehow." "You mean, with the whole 'Rose is my girl' business ?" "Yes ! It was easy being with Rose, we just had that mutual understanding and, you know, all that love. But after she gave birth to schtu-ball, I doesn't feel like it was right for me to be around you three anymore, besides, you and Steven are the only ones who have always open arms for me." Amethyst blushed at the confession of Greg, "Well...I like to hang with you, you're the only 'normal' and relaxing thing I have in my life." "Come here, girl." And Greg take her on gentle hug.
Grimlock was sitting on the parking, in front of the door. His visor wasn't glowing. The eyes of this 'Doug' while he was struggling for his life, remind the ancient cybertronian of his brothers in arm. That look when Doug was calling for his wife, that 'Connie', Grimlock know to well what those looks mean. The first time he had seen it, was back at Cybertron when he had saw Arcee dying, when he had to tell Optimus that Ariel was dead. "To many deaths. That's why I attacked you back on this place full of sand, for me, it looks like you were about to kill those weaker being, just like the Decepticons. I wasn't only a warrior, I know about all the myths you have on Homeworld, about me being the Chief of the Legendaries warriors." Grimlock stand, head lock on the night sky. "You know, at the End of Cybertron, while I was watching the Ark launching itself, reaching for the unknown, I thought that it was wrong. We, Cybertrionian, Autobots or Decepticons it doesn't matter, we didn't and do not deserve to be outer space." explain the Dinobot as he sit down. "Why ?" asked Jasper sitting after him. "Space was the only frontier remaining between our killing spree and a peaceful existence. Between my guilt, our guilt, and redemption, one that wasn't for us. A redemption that we're not worthy to have. That I don't deserve and never will. You know, I wasn't really protecting that Steven, I thought that you would have been strong enough to kill me, ending my life as a lonely and insane
shadow of war." As Grimlock finished, Priyanka stood there, eyes wide open. "Oh my…"
Sapphire awaken with Steven on her arms, seeing him snoring softly, sleeping peacefully, Sapphire smiled. As she stroke his curly hair, Steven open one eye, "Mom…"he said. Sapphire was taken aback but blushed, her smile filled with love. "Shh, sleep tight sweetheart." And she kissed his forehead. Ruby was watching silently, touched by what she saw. "I'm going to prepare breakfast for him, he will be starving, he didn't eat last night." Said Ruby as she leave a kiss on her cheek. Sapphire didn't respond, as she hold steven tightly. Ruby make sure to not make any loud noise while reaching the kitchen. Lapis was already up, staring at the fridge, open. "What 'ya doin' ?" asked Ruby, smiling. "Well, I wanted to make something for Steven, I heard you talk about 'breakfast', but I have no idea what to do, with what." Lapis confessed. "Here, let me show you." And the two prepared the breakfast, laughing.
Pearl was just behind her door, not sure what to do. "No, I can be around them without talking about Grimlock." And she entered the house.
Steven open one eye, then the other one, blinked a few time and was surprised to be on a warm hug with Sapphire. And everything came back on his mind. "Hi Steven." she said. "Sorry for calling…" "It's okay cutie pie." Sapphire get off bed, "Come on, Breakfast's ready." And they joined Ruby and Lapis Lazuli.
"Calm down, human." said Jasper. "B-but th-there's a.." "I'm a Cybertronian, my name's Grimlock, leader of the Dinobots." "Okay...but, hum, why are you here ?" Priyanka asked, confident now. "Well, I'm waiting for 'Doug'." said quickly Grimlock. "What ?! How do you know my husband ?" "Husband ?" asked Jasper, her left eyebrow raised. "Oh, y-yeah, you're a Gem." realised Priyanka. "Well, how do I explain that, hum, me and Doug, are engage, for life sort of. Anyway, that engagement is taken when two people care and love each other deeply, well, they get married, a marriage being a ritual who, embody that union." Grimlock was speechless, scratching his head. Jasper was looking back-and-forth to Grimlock and Priyanka. "So, you just give yourself, to be united with the one you care for, and this marriage is the result of love ? Weird…" "Doug is special to you."said finally Grimlock "Yes ! Now, explain me how you get to know my husband, and why he his currently in the hospital ?"the doctor said, raising her voice a bit, annoyed by the situation. "Don't you dare talk to me like that, human." replied Jasper, graping Priyanka by the collar, annoyed. Grimlock react immediately, standing and making a thud with his right foot. "Enough Jasper, but she's right Doug's human, don't raise your voice at us." "I-I'm sorry." "And as for Doug's presence here, his vehicle crash on my blade, then ignited. So I took him and he guide us here." "O-okay, I, I got to go back at his side." and she run in the hospital. Jasper look up to Grimlock. "What do we do, we can't wait here forever." Grimlock just turn around and begin to walk away. "Well…" Jasper take her chance and walk at the opposite direction. "Jasper." said simply Grimlock, Jasper let an annoyed sight out and run to his side, Grimlock transformed and lay down, allowing Jasper to climb on his head. Grimlock stand up and walk.
Ronaldo was walking, still pondering about a source of energie for Skywarp, well, more about how to find energon. "Skywarp told me it was blue, it can be glowing, and it's sticky. Come on, think Ronal...WHAAAA." He saw Jasper riding Grimlock. "A Gem, and another robot….Ronaldo, you're a genius !" and he run to his house, at the moment he closed his door, he take his board, erasing and throwing away all files about 'sneople'. "So, Gems are made of resources and, as Steven explained, their body are mainly made of light, solid light. And light is form of energy, and as I saw on the street earlier, Gems and "Transformers" are linked. What if… Ronaldo run to a chest, and take two deactivated Flask Robonoids. He then throw them on the floor and collected all the goo. Placing the goo on a big tray, the he had water and plug-in an extension cable, putting the other end of it on the water, creating an electrocution. "Well first I will use this, then as soon as possible, I will try with a real Gem." And he run, the tray on a luggage trolley. When he arrived at Skywarp location he just laughed. "What's so funny ?" "I think I had find something for you." he gives the tray to Skywarp, who drinked the mixture. "Yes...yes...YES !" Skywarp stood, his strength back. "Thank you." "And the best is that if I collect more of those-" He show a flask robonoid to Skywarp. "- I will be able to create more energon 2.0 for you !" "Well, you're more efficient than our scientist back at Cybertron. Well ok, I'm in." "Great and will be easier if we get that dinosaur robot to work with us !" Skywarp stop on his track. "What ?" "Yeah I saw that huge T-Rex made of metal, red eyes, red glowing circles…" "Grimlock…" said Skywarp, uneasy. "What, are you ok Sky ?" "Yeah...it's just that, this cybertronian is called Grimlock." "Oh yeah, now I remember, a Grimlock attacked Steven at the beach." 'Here, play it well Sky'.' the Seeker thought. "Well, Grimlock is a Dinobot, a legendary warrior. He's violent and spread death whenever a battle is near." "We must stop it Skywarp !" "Yeah, but I can't fight him alone." "Oh I know, let's form an alliance with the Crystal Gem and Steven !" Skywarp transform and open his cockpit, as soon as Ronaldo climb inside, Skywarp take flight, direction the Temple. Unaware that a certain Dinobot had saw him. "He's flying toward the beach." noticed Grimlock "He's probably going to the Temple, that's not a good thing.." said Jasper, "Why ?" asked Grimlock " Because they will hunt us, they were and still are rebels, just like the Decepticon, their leader, Rose Quartz, shattered, killed , Pink Diamond, My Diamond,the only 'queen' who was kind with us, with me." "So, those Crystal Gems are your kind of Decepticon ?" deduce the Dinobot "Yes ! Maybe less cruel, nonetheless yes." "To battle !" shout Grimlock, running to Temple.
Connie was playing on the beach with Steven and Amethyst, Pearl was watching them, smiling. Garnet was talking to Greg, whom gives a wave at Amethyst sometimes. Then, something caught his attention, it was Skywarp, preparing a landing. As his turbines were cooling down, Ronaldo jump on the sand, running to Steven. "Steven, I need your help !" and he begin to relate his story with Skywarp, and negotiating, even with Connie, for an alliance. Meanwhile, Grimlock appeared on the boardwalk. "Here's my chance." and Skywarp transformed "We're under attack ! Grimlock his here !" And Pearl react, fear make her act, throwing her spear at Grimlock "I told you, they can't be trusted !" shout Jasper "ROSE !" And Grimlock charge breathing fire at Skywarp, Greg and Ronaldo run, hiding on the house, Connie and Steven fused, taking on Jasper with the help of Lapis Lazuli , while Garnet, Pearl and Amethyst fused to Alexandrite, helping Skywarp against Grimlock, who had the advantage, he block a punch, and taking Skywarp by his left arm, lifted him and throw him on the ocean. Alexandrite run to Grimlock, summoning her gantelet, she prepared a powerful punch, but Grimlock summon his shield, and, kneeling, give a powerful blow on the jaw of Alexandrite with his shield. But it wasn't finished, Skywarp goes out of the water on his alt-mode, transforming mid air, summoning a sword while falling.
Jasper give a kick on Stevonnie's chest, making the fusion fall, losing her sword. "How ironic-" Jasper picked up the pink sword "- I will shattered you with your own sword." Stevonnie blocked the sword with her shield, only to get punched on the face. Unfusing, Connie didn't take well the blow, as a result, she stayed on the sand, while Steven was resting on one knee. Lapis flew at his side, giving a powerful blow on Jasper face, using a fist made of water. Then she quickly take Connie on her arms, Steven calling Lion, he joined Lapis at the house.
Grimlock had rolled on his left side, avoiding the blade of Skywarp, but the Seekers spin around, throwing his sword at Grimlock, it scratched the Dinobot on the right shoulder, leaving a deep cut on it. Grimlock summon his sword and run to Skywarp, but the Decepticon fired with his arms blasters, hitting Grimlock, scratching his chest. But that didn't stop the Dinobot, Grimlock spin round, changing his right hand on a black two barrels blaster . He fired, not missing the left arm and leg, but Alexandrite, who had taken Skywarp's sword, attacked Grimlock, launching herself at his back. Jasper gather all her strength remaining, and throw the sword of Grimlock at the fusion's head, not missing. As the Crystal Gems unfused, Skywarp fired at Jasper, but he only managed to puff her, hitting her in her head. Grimlock take back his sword and trusted it on the lower chest, under the spark, of Skywarp, then he grab Jasper's Gem and run after saying, "I will come back, I will avenge Jasper." then he transformed and run. Skywarp watched and was about to chase the Dinobot, but Ronaldo called him, "It's not worth, you will just get yourself killed."
"Connie ! Ronaldo, please, help me !" shout Steven, worried for Connie. "Don't worry, she's just exhausted." Ronaldo picked up the girl, and joined Greg at the beach house. Steven turn around, looking into the distance, before catching up Ronaldo.
Skywarp walk slowly toward the house, deep in though. Never, oh never another Decepticon had care for him. For each other. True, he had been assign to rescue missions, but, the passion that Ronaldo had put on his search and work for energon 2.0, the treatment this human gives him, all on one Skywarp was confused. Is this what the Autobots called friendship ? Well, as the sun was slowly hiding under the sea, Skywarp smiled, "I've got a friend." "Happy to see we're on the same page buddy." said Ronaldo, a can of soda in his right hand. "You know, it's weird, I had to travel the whole galaxy to finally find a 'friend'." "Weird ? Well, weird is my normalcy." "Yeah, I think I get the point." Even though he was smiling, Skywarp was more confused, He was a Decepticon after all ! But, this new bond that he was creating with Ronaldo was something that he already like. It was decided, first, he will avenge Acid Storm by killing Grimlock, then waited to see if Starscream send Thundercracker on a rescue mission, but normally, it will not happened so as soon as the Dinobot was dead, he will be free to live with Ronaldo. If he somehow succeed on repairing himself. "It's ok buddy, energon 2.0 already on preparation. You can rest." assured Ronaldo.
Grimlock didn't know where he was going. He reached a forest, and at the moment he thought he was safe, he carefully put Jasper's gemstone on the ground. After a while, Jasper regenerate herself. "Fuck, they get away ag...Grimlock !" she shout. She get worried, seeing the wound in his chest. "It's okay, I will not die." Jasper smiled, but quickly turn around, ashamed. "What ? are you ok ?" asked Grimlock. What was wrong with her, since when she would think, care about another one. "If your annoyed by your...puffing, don't you worry, I will avenge your honor !" He said, rising, sword pointed at the sky. "No warrior such as yourself should be ever defeated." "You care for me...how, how weak !" "It's not a weakness, it's why us Dinobot became legendary, because we always look for each other. Plus, you didn't try to flee since the accident, I thought it was because you accepted to be with me." "BE WITH YOU ?" "Yes, being my partner." Oh, yeah partner. Everything was going so fast, her feelings and behavior was to fast. Jasper felt something totally new, a warm on her chest. "It's an honor to be your partner, Grimlock." "It's an honor to be your partner Jasper. Next time, we'll crush those-" "-Crystals Gems." "We will crush the Crystal Gems." Grimlock take Jasper and put her on his shoulder, "For our glory !" "FOR OUR GLORY !" They shout. Not aware that an Amethyst was spying on them.
Connie awak slowly. Steven was by her side, hugging her. "Steven." "Connie ! How are you feelin' ?" "Still a little tired, but right now I'm so hungry that I would…" Steven kissed her. It was magical, sweet, short but strong enough to be eternal on her mind. "I was so scared. Scared that I might-" Connie return the kiss, being more gentle and making it longer. "I was worried to you know." "Connie, it's becoming to dangerous. you could have died !" "Steven." "And, I don't know, I can't afford to lose you-" "Steven !" "And what if-" "STEVEN !" "What ?" " I love you, please, don't put me aside of this. I want to be by your side. No matter what's happening. I love you so much." "I love you too Connie." And they hug each other, kissing smoothly, and Stevonnie was sitting on the bed, hugging herself.
"Well, that's interesting." said Garnet.
Amethyst was with Greg, they were talking, laughing, having pleasure to be together. Then, Amethyst put on a song of Greg, Comet.
Some... say I have no direction, that I'm a light-speed distraction, that's a knee-jerk reaction.
Still this is the final frontier, everything is so clear, to my destiny I steer
Greg take Amethyst by her waist and make her spin round.
This life in the stars is all I've ever known,
Stars and stardust in infinite space is my only home
But the moment that I hit the stage, thousands of voices are calling my name
And I know in my heart it's been worth it all of the while
And as my albums fly off of the shelves, handing out autographed pics of myself,
This life I chose isn't easy but sure is one heck of a ride
Amethyst put her arms around Greg's neck.
At the moment that I hit the stage, I hear the universe calling my name
And I know deep down in my heart I have nothing to fear
Their faces were approaching.
And as the solar wind blows through my hair, knowing I have so much more left to share
A wandering spirit who's tearing its way through the cold atmosphere
And they kiss.
I'll fly like a comet
Soar like a comet
Crash like a comet
I'm just a comet
I hope you liked this, feel free to rewiews ! See ya !
