SU; Homecoming Chapter 6: David and Goliath

True master pieces sometimes take a while to originate. Topazolite and Yellow Diamond knew that. Everybody who know them knew that. Homeworld knew that.

"Yellow are you sure you are okay with this? If anyone finds out about this illegal fusion then-"

"You won't be shattered Topazolite. I will make sure they won't lay a single hand on you." Yellow Diamond promised the gem who sat next to her on her throne. She pats his arm and stood up. "If anything happens to you, I will shatter everyone in this palace before myself."

Topazolite stands up with her, his head made it to her waist, and shakes his head. "You are the most difficult gem I have ever had an honor of seeing." He says before eyeing the small bump on Yellow's stomach. "and being fused with."

Indeed, it was fusion that created Tiger Eye in the first place. He was a hybrid between a diamond and a Topazolite. The life they created was not going to be accepted into Homeworld's life, but they didn't care. They were young.

A thousand years later, Tiger Eye appeared and Topazolite vanished. Yellow was devasted and was almost banished from the diamond authority for her illegal fusion. The order wanted Tiger shattered, but Blue overturned it in hopes for Yellow to know her mistake.

"Yellow wants to see you Tiger Eye A Cut X1Z in her room." Yellow Pearl voice calls from inside the cell they had Tiger locked in. "She is very impatient."

Tiger Eye never said anything. He doesn't know anything. He only knows his name but no words in the Homeworld Dictionary. His rusty hair was down to his waist and his yellow uniform was dirty with debris. He follows the pearl like he was told.

"Tiger Eye, we have much to discuss about your future." Bloodstone says as she watches the fight between Garnet and Pearl and Bismuth and Peridot. They had head phones in so they couldn't hear the terrifying music. "Come sit, youngling. I won't kill you…yet."

Tiger was not listening to her. She hurt Steven, Connie and Amethyst. Swatted them off like flies. His anger bubbles inside him like steam on a train.

"No." He says and dodges a swipe from Bismuth's scythe.

"Better yet, sit with your mother." The goddess says snarling as she picks up Yellow Diamond's gem and let her reform. She, like Peridot and Bismuth, was red. Bloodstone had full control of them.

Yellow Diamond stood staring at Tiger Eye for a second. The rusty haired boy doesn't move or says anything. He is silent. Then the diamond sits in the sand.

"What did you do to them!" Tiger Eye screams running to his creator and puts a hand on her boot.

Bloodstone cackles as she puts a hand on Yellow Diamond's shoulder. "You still don't get it do you, youngling. You're this tyrants mistake. The whole earth is in danger because of you. That other hybrid and the runt called Amethyst are hurt because of you."

Tiger Eye felt something heat up inside him; a power that hasn't been activated in eons. He closes his eyes. "No Bloodstone, you're really wrong. I could care less what you think of me. Your words don't matter."

Garnet and Pearl had an opening and fused to form Sardonyx. She spins towards Bloodstone with her hammer and BAM! The goddess was taken back by the hit but wasn't done with them yet.

Tiger Eye opens his eyes. He spreads his arms wide and his arms turn orange and fills the area with light. He dodges Peridot and Bismuth's attacks with ease. He then slams his hands back with a might clap. The air went still as his gem glows a brighter shade of orange.

"Unleash the Diamonds you lousy little witch." A powerful voice comes as the light dims.

Sardonyx gasps and claps her hands. "Oh, my what a surprise! An ally has joined the party!"

His hair was a dirty brown, his eyes were orange, but his body was completely different. His head was like Tiger Eye's but aged. His outfit has a business suit, but his arms were ripped. His back had a jet back attached to him. His pants were Tiger Eye's also. There were marks across his arms and face; possibly from battles long ago.

Tiger Eye was laying on the ground and had his eyes open. His gem was glowing brightly. He sat up and watched as the new gem turns his head and faces him.

"Your friends did a hell of a job fighting but its time for me to end it." He says giving him a thumbs up turning himself around to face a frozen Bloodstone. He cracks his knuckles and summons a bow from his gem. "You going to just stand there or say your apologies old lady?"

"Topazolite," Bloodstone cracks a faint smile. "what a surprise you came back to see the diamonds fate."

"I had enough time to prepare for this fight. Besides, I am just here to distract you."

Bloodstone opens her mouth to speak but cries in pain as a head slams into her side at full force. She was able to keep herself on her feet for a short time to look at her attacker. Topazolite grabs her by her legs and tosses her out to sea. Sardonyx unfuses for a brief moment as Bismuth, Peridot and Yellow Diamond turn back to their original colors. Jasper lands on the shore next to the new gem and dusts herself off.

"JASPER!" Tiger screams and tackles her to the ground causing Topazolite to chuckle.

Jasper cracks a smile ruffling his hair a bit but looks up as Yellow Diamond and the others begin to wake up.

Amethyst wasn't sure what happened. They were hit and then she was in her gem. She has already reformed and had no idea where the others were. Are they alright? The gems heart was already heavy with anxiety as her eyes adjust to the new surroundings.

She was underwater in a cave. The walls around her were covered in beautiful crystals that glowed a soft light blue. The ground was not so pretty; mostly covered in muck and salt water. Her boots were soaked with the ocean water and it contaminates.

Amethyst, her mind turning to Steven and Connie, instantly started investigating the cave in case they were injured or lost. She didn't want to have to tell either Garnet or Pearl or even Greg that Steven's gem got cracked or worse. Same thing with Connie, her mother wouldn't let her go on any missions if she got seriously injured.

The gem walks a few feet as she uses her gem as a flashlight. She scans the walls for clues feeling guilty again for the sixth time that day. She thought their human slingshot would work. But instead it threw them into an ocean possibly filled with unknown gem monsters that haven't been rescued yet. Garnet couldn't have known that would happen, could she? Amethyst would ask her afterword's. After she finds Steven and Connie. No ifs, she tells herself.

"Steveeeeen, Connieeeeeee, are you guys here!" She cups her hands over her mouth and yells for them while walking deeper into the cave. More insult to injury, she came to a dead end. "Darn it!"

She begins to turn around when she spots a sandal next to a wall that she had scanned earlier. Steven's sandal. Amethyst quickly walks over to it and kneels. Her hands shaking a bit, she picks it up and looks around for more clues that they were here. The sandal brought a little hope to Amethyst. She continues looking around the wall with her gem shining brightly.

Her fears were holding her confidence back. Steven was her little brother. If anything would've happened to him and Connie, she would probably shatter herself. Connie was going to be her sister in law someday. She knows it when she sees Steven's eyes looking at her. Amethyst needs to find them and quick before time runs out.

"Oh man its getting hot in here. Better find them quick."

Little does she know, that the cave that she is in is directly above a volcano. The mountain was set to explode soon.

Back at the beach, Bloodstone had recovered fully. She was weak, Yellow could see it from her posture, and not full of their energy anymore.

"You haven't won yet." The goddess mutters before dropping on all fours and rushing towards Yellow Diamond but Topazolite beat her to it. He held her head with both his hands and growls.

"Again," He smirks, "you lose."

He pushes her back into the rocky wall. Yellow Diamond frees Blue and White from her armor.

Garnet, Pearl, Peridot, Bismuth and Tiger Eye watch as the diamonds reform back with a large thump that sent a small earthquake into the city. Topazolite was still holding onto her as Bloodstone reaches for her flute.

"Oh no you don't!" Yellow cries as she slams into the goddess making her drop the evil flute in the process.

"DON'T LET IT HIT THE GROUND!" Bloodstone screams as Blue and White desperately tries to catch it.

Tiger Eye dives for it only to come up short of an inch.

At first nothing happened, but then a dark entity appears before them. Bloodstone's grey face turns ghostly white as the entity looks at her.

"YOU HAVE FAILED ME!"

"M-master I swear I would never-"

"YOU SHALL BE PUNISHED!" the entity shouted as it grabs Bloodstone's gem by the hand and clentches its fist. The gem was broken instantly, and the goddess was no more.

The crystal gems, the diamonds, and Topazolite were all stunned by this. They didn't know this being. Not the diamonds. Not even Topazolite. This entity had no gem, so this was a demon.

"Hey you clod!" A small voice piped up. "Who the heck are you?"

Ah Peridot, there are times you shouldn't open your mouth. This is one of those times. Yellow Diamond thought bitterly as the entity turns to look at them.

"MY NAME IS ZERO! YOU GREEN PICKLE ARE GOING TO BE MY MEAL!" the demon yells and pulls his hand up. Peridot squeaks as she was raised up.

"N-no," Lapis who was just reformed with a cracked gem croaks out with Bismuth holding her up. "Hands off of her!"

"YOU DON'T SPEAK TO YOUR KING LIKE THAT! BEGON!" Zero shouted while forming a wall between them and Peridot.

Topazolite was silent while this was going on. This demon was the exact same size as him, if he was able to knock him out? Maybe they will have a chance. He activates his jetpacks and summons his arrows.

"Oh no you don't!" Yellow Diamond shouted while pulling out a sparking staff from her gem. She breaks through the wall.

"Yellow!" Blue and White shouted running after her. Topazolite growls and charges at Zero.

"YOU TWO ARE PESTS. GET AWAY!" the demon cries out as he shocks Topazolite in the stomach. The gem was tossed into the wall and was dazed. Yellow Diamond slams her staff at Zero making him airborne and jumping up after him.

"No, Dad." Tiger Eye cries as he runs towards his dizzy father. Topazolite gets back up and smashes his bow right into the demons back. A bright light forms and then the gem vanished. The demon smiles sicken and shows them all his gem that was attached to his belt. "NOOOO!" He yells moving towards them, but Jasper held him back.

"HE WAS DELISOUS."

"Enough chatting, fight!" Yellow Diamond screams as she charges at him. The demon growls and does the same.

"EVERYBODY FIND COVER!" Garnet yells as she pulls Pearl, Bismuth, Lapis, and Peridot to her.

"St-Steven, C-Connie please come out come out wherever you are?" Amethyst calls as she puts her hands on the walls for any clues. The air was getting heavy with heat. Soon it would be too hot for a human to travel through. That means if Steven and Connie are still here-

A pink glow bounced off the walls to Amethyst's left. Her eyes caught it just in time as it retreated to the right. Her eyes widen as she would soon discover a secret entrance to another set of caves.

Note: I got nothing to say but please review so I can know what you guys think. I really want to know if I should continue or not. That cliffhanger was my idea ^^'
