Homecoming Chapter 3: No Pearl's nightmare
I do not own SU. Just my OC's.
Garnet seen him coming back to Earth but not in the crash-landing type of way. Her future vision had so many outcomes of how he would return, that the one outcome she had pulled out before would be the one that happens. The possibility was in the negatives.
The giant blue arm of Blue Diamonds ship was severely damaged and the odds of making it out unscathed was one and two. The sky was turning darker and darker and then became night. The arm created a mighty wave of water when it crashed into the ocean. Its vibration created a power outage for almost all of Beach City to encounter.
Still, not knowing if Tiger was really on board or not was hurting Garnet. She was afraid that she would split up over the loss of a friend. The fusion hid herself away as soon as a bubble formed out of the arm.
"We need to go back for them!" Tiger's yell was heard coming from the ship. Two more figures arrived next to him.
"Not a chance. Our Diamonds specifically ordered that we take no for an answer to a request of going back to Homeworld." Yellow Pearl's voice was heard as she takes in the sight around her.
"We are staying until further notice." Blue Pearl says in a small yet calm voice.
Tiger Eye felt hopeless. He sees Yellow Diamond for not only an hour, and he was powerless to save her. Blue and White are probably the same as Yellow now. Trapped inside the terrifyingly awesome armor of Bloodstone, Goddess of Destruction. Unable to be reached. The boy felt powerless as Yellow gave him the order that could very well be her last as a diamond.
His tail was between his legs as he lands on the sand while trying to keep from crying again. The familiar breeze of the summer air brought him back to his kindergarten days. He could hear a small voice in his mind but dared not listen in fear that it may be Bloodstone's deadly flute.
"Tiger Eye!" Garnet's voice rings out as the young gem whips around.
"G-Garnet!" He cries as he rushes for her. He tackles her down with strength he never knew he had. "Something bad happened on Homeworld. A gem that calls herself the Goddess of Destruction k-killed Yellow."
The news sent a shock to the fusion and looks up to see the two Pearl's of Yellow and Blue Diamond giving her a hard look. Bloodstone took everything from Tiger and those two. How can a gem be so heartless?
"Tiger stay with the Pearl's. I am going to report this to Jasper and the others." Garnet calls as she places the boy down near Yellow Pearl. "You three come in the house where its safe."
"Jasper!" Steven screams excitedly in the battle arena. "He's back!"
The tall orange gem was still fighting at a holo-Pearl and gave no response to the fourteen-year-old. She couldn't tell rather he is just saying it to make her feel better or if he's here. Jasper would understand that he wouldn't have anything to do with her after everything that happened. She regrets a lot of stuff in her lifetime, but this was the true regret that she would do over again.
"Jasper, he needs to see you." Steven narrows his eyes. "Tiger has something to tell you."
"I don't care." Was her response and it hurt her from knowing that he was here.
"You do though. You care for him more than you think."
"Since you are a doctor at knowing things; why don't you do this for me!"
"I can't Jasper. You have to figure this out on your own." Steven says leaving to go back home.
The orange gem growls in frustration as she finishes her sparring match with the Holo-Pearl. She falls onto the ground and lays there for what seems like hours. She closes her eyes but all she could see was him. He was on her mind again. Why can't she just forget about him?
"Because you love me like a brother."
Jasper swirls around where Steven use to be, but at his spot was Tiger Eye. He had his hood up and hands in pockets. His tail was tucked between his legs. Her eyes narrowed remembering that he can hear her thoughts when he is close enough to her. She turns around as he walks towards her direction.
"You know my secret Jasper. You know that I am a hybrid. I know you haven't told Garnet and the others yet cause your scared that they will take your rights away." Tiger points at her accusingly. "You of all people deserve that!"
Jasper was shocked but was expecting that to come out of his mouth. He still hasn't forgiven her for taking him back to Homeworld. She wouldn't expect the forgiving part anytime soon. To him she is an unforgiving friend, but to her she is still his mentor.
"I do. Tiger I am so sorry." Jasper tries but the hybrid wasn't listening. Instead he sat on the edge of the sky arena.
He sighs and places his hand on his gem. He closes his eyes. "Did you know my father?"
"N-no Tiger."
"Yellow told me that Topazolite fused with her in order to make a unique Quartz, me. I am the only remaining Tiger Eye that was created by fusion." Tiger whispers trying to keep the anger under control.
Jasper wasn't the one who gets confused all the time. It was Amethyst who gets confused most of the time. But what the young gem told her about Yellow was putting her beyond confusion. She was stomped at what to say.
She walks towards Tiger and sits next to him on the edge. For a moment they didn't say anything to one another. They didn't need too. What was done is done for the time being.
"Jasper, I need to tell you what happened on Homeworld." He spoke, his voice breaking as he told her everything that happened. Everything from Bloodstone taking Yellow Diamond and poofing her with a musical instrument; to Tiger Eye and the Pearl's escaping on Blue Diamond's ship.
"Tell Garnet. I'll find Amethyst and the others." Jasper told Tiger as she stands up offering the child a hand also. "We will evacuate the city also!"
He nods at her and dashes off to the nearest warp pad to inform the fusion of his time on Homeworld. Jasper sighs making sure he was warped away before screaming her lungs out. She jumps off the edge of the arena.
Bloodstone watched as it all went on from her screen. Her laughter was loud as she plays with a yellow diamond attached to her shoulder pad. She uses a cloth to wipe her silver flute clean. Her red eyes fell to two diamonds on her sides; both of them blue and white.
"Soon this Earth will listen to real music." She cracks a smile and snaps her fingers.
A Black Pearl was by her side in minutes. Her form flickering at Bloodstone's digusted face.
"My little Pearl. How far we both have come since our days as Homeworld refugees." She mutters bending down to cuff the Pearl with chains around the wrists and legs. "You have served me well with one error. Do you know what that one error is?"
The Pearl, dark hair over her eyes and full black armor for a body, fails to speak. Her voice unable to comply. Bloodstone smirks at the poor Pearl who was shaking.
"Your willingness easily could get you shattered." The goddess smirks as she sees liquid form underneath the Pearl. "And the fact that you fear me is irradiating."
Bloodstone puts her mouth to the flute and plays the haunting tune. She enjoys the soundless scream of her enemies and traitors. Pearl struggles against her shackles as her eyes were shut. Bloodstone takes her head with her finger and kisses it before a pop was heard.
"Ugh I should've made you clean your mess up before I poofed you. Oh well." The goddess of destruction smirks at the white gem on the floor. She whistles as she looks around. She steps on it. "Oh well. Pearls are always replaceable."
Note: I am sorry for the long wait. Jasper will return. Sometime. Maybe.
That Bloodstone though *-*
