"Hey, how do you even know the part where you weren't there for?" Amethyst asked with a dumb look on her face.
"Well if you don't rush with questions maybe I will be able to give answers," Jasper said faking an annoyed look on her face.
"OK, geez I guess I will just stop being nosey about it." The purple quartz said and then laughed at her joke.
"I kind of walked into that didn't I?" The perfect quartz said to which Amethyst nodded.
"Anyway, let us get back to the story."
Flashback resumed
The purple gem, now in the shape of a bird flew around the small town looking for her first victim. It wasn't too long until she found them, a married couple enjoying their day while sitting on a bench and eating some French fries.
"And then he was like what the fuck, I worked my ass off for that." The male said, his voice dripping with smugness and arrogance.
Amethyst quickly deduced that he was one of those arrogant stuck up humans who do not care about anything other than themselves.
"And you did that because?" the female asked, making Amethyst herself curious about the answer as well.
"Turns out the greedy bastard was planning on stealing the money from the old janitors, I have known Samson and Sherman for twenty years. I remember when I began working in the company long before I met you, I was flat broke when I got the job with no place to go when those two helped me out and got me an apartment in the building where you lived." The man said as he leaned against his wife, rubbing her arm affectionately.
"Oh, my big log has a heart of gold." The woman said as she gave the man a slight peck on the cheek.
"That is so sweet of you, and here I thought you were just being a jerk," Bird Amethyst said startling the couple.
"What? Who said that?" the man said, shocked at how sudden the voice was.
"Oops, I mean caw caw." Bird Amethyst said trying to rectify her failing prank, the quartz needed to think fast.
"Who goes there? Show yourself." The man said in a demanding yet nervous tone.
This was a golden opportunity for the quartz who thought her prank was going smoothly.
"Say the magic word." The gem said
"Please show yourself, I really do not like the idea of going crazy in front of my wife." The man said in a tone that made it he was beyond scared.
"Well, since you asked nicely," Amethyst said while descending
To their surprise, they saw a purple owl just flying in front them. Unable to utter a single word, Amethyst decided to break the ice.
"What? Haven't you seen a talking purple bird before?" The gem said, barely able to contain her laughter.
"Just what the hell are you?" he asked
Much to their shock, the purple bird shapeshifted into an exact clone of the man except the clone was purple.
"I'm you, boop." The clone said as it pressed the man's nose like a button and then ran away laughing like a maniac.
The human couple remained silent while watching the clone run away shocked at what just transpired in front of them.
"What the hell is wrong with this place?" the man asked.
"Let's just go home; I will make you your favorite snack." The woman said patting him on the back as they got up and began walking away from the bench.
Meanwhile, Amethyst was laughing hysterically. This was one of the best pranks she ever did and she can't wait to do another one.
"That was hilarious." The quartz said as she wiped a tear from her eye.
"Who will be my next victim?" She wondered as she shapeshifted back into a bird.
Unknown to Amethyst, there was someone else watching her. With a disgusted look on her face, she turned to her subordinate.
"Peridot, initiate the next part of the plan because it is time to hunt." She ordered only for the green colored gem to nod, the Peridot in question began typing commands on her homo pad and with a final press, the power core began humming indicating that the ship moved.
Meanwhile Amethyst resumed her flight, looking to repeat the hilarious prank she did on the humans. She flew for a couple of minutes until she bumped into something that nearly caused her to shapeshift back into her original form.
"Ok, show yourself." Bird Amethyst said only for some glowing red bird to appear out of thin air.
It startles her at first but then when she regained her composure the red bird seemed to glare at her. The glowing animal continued to glare at her for a couple of seconds and then took off.
"Oh no you don't, I'm going to teach you a lesson." The quartz said, feeling offended by the rude attitude displayed by the exotic bird.
She continued to chase the rude bird until she found herself flying above the beach; she looked around but saw nothing. She huffed and began flying toward the small town when she colored with something invisible.
"Oh come on! Give me a freaking break." She shouted.
"Not today Crystal scum." She heard a reply and then everything went dark for the purple gem.
Inside the invisible ship, a tall gem strode toward the control room, a purple quartz gemstone in one hand while having a gem destabilizer in the other. Upon entering the control room she threw the gemstone toward her Peridot who caught it in an energy field.
"Take that trash to the containment unit and do it quickly, we still have 6 more targets to capture." The tall gem said as she sat in the command chair.
"Now whom should I capture next? Oh, I just found the ideal target. I hope she put up a better fight." The tall gem said she looked at Pearl's picture displayed in front of her.
She typed few command on the holopad in front of her, when she finished a circular hole appeared next to her. Through the said hole floated a pyramid-shaped object until it rested on her palm.
"Soon, I will become perfect nothing will stop me." The mystery gem said, a malicious grin spreading across her face.
Inside her room, Pearl was organizing her sword collection when she suddenly felt a shiver run through her body. Ignoring the feeling, she resumed her task unaware of the gem scheming against her. Satisfied with her work she smiled went outside the temple when she found Garnet star gazing.
"Beautiful aren't they? Well, I hope one day we would be able to travel space again." The gem exclaimed earning a nod from the fusion.
"Let's wait for the other; we only have thirty minutes before the party starts." The fusion said
Time Skip
The gems minus Amethyst gathered in front of the temple, in a couple of minutes the rave would start and they were missing one last member.
"Ugh, what is she doing right now? The party is about to start and she is off to someplace doing something stupid." The pale skinny gem said, groaning.
"Oh come on Pearl, you know Amethyst loves doing pranks on clueless humans. Pretty funny actually, I remember one time she scared the living daylight out of those kid on Halloween."
"Simple, Pearl is boring and by trying to discipline Amethyst she is trying to prove that she is responsible to Rose." The Green gem said.
"Yeah that… Wait what did you call me?" Pearl said eyebrow twitching a bit at the direct insult Period gave.
She turned around, trying to see a reaction from the other and to her misfortune, she saw Jasper laughing and the fusion lips quivering and barely keeping herself from snickering.
She turned to Rose who at the time was indeed laughing as well.
"Oh come on, not you too Rose," Pearl whined.
"I'm sorry Pearl, but you kinda walked into that one calling them annoying earlier."
"I guess you're right about that," Pearl grumbled and began walking away.
"I will go look for her; you guys go ahead and have fun." She added
Walking away, the four gems considered Pearl and Amethyst relation. To them, it was like an overprotective big sister as they heard humans refer to the matter, but none the less it is nice to have someone look after your best interest.
Meanwhile, Pearl began looking around the city; in hopes of finding her purple friend she shapeshifted into a bird and took off into the sky for a better view of the small town.
"Where could she be, I swear that gem will drive me crazy one day." The gem thought as she passed another street without finding a single clue to her fellow gem whereabouts.
"I really don't like shapeshifting that much, what does Amethyst love so much about it?" she asked no one, her brow furrowed as frustration began getting to her.
Pearl turned back to her original form and began searching around on foot.
Pearl stopped abruptly, a shiver running through her being. She couldn't tell why but she could swear that someone was watching her.
"I better be careful, whoever is watching me is not good news." She thought as she looked around her with a suspicious look on her face.
The gem searched for one last time before she relented; maybe Amethyst went back to her room or something.
"Well, I better not keep Rose and the others waiting." She said and began walking toward the beach when suddenly a column of bright white colored light erupted in front of her.
When the light died down a serpentine-like creature appeared, three heads and each of them looked menacing.
"This is not how I thought I would spend my night," Pearl said as she summoned her weapon and readied herself for combat.
That is all my dudes; well to be honest I never thought that this flashback of Jasper's past would develop into a mini-arc. I thought I would put everything in like 2 or 3 chapters but guess I was wrong. I will keep the main villain unknown until you guess who she is and if you follow the show like I do you will know what I mean. Now regarding Jasper's arc in this story I have some news, it will end with Jasper and Lapis facing each other for the last time and be sorting everything at once, there will be however a second arc focused mainly on Steven as he grows up and develops all his powers. One last thing, there will be a crossover.
