Hello everyone, first off I would like to say I am very sorry for not being able to upload for a week straight but being sick and having to deal with catching up to school can be a pain in the ass. I can try to promise this won't happen again.
So with no further delays.
Chapter 4 True story begins
'Finally' steven thought as he quickly walked out of the hell people called school. He was still beyond pissed about the English paper he turned in but then again he should pay attention more 'she could have at least given me a little credit for writing that, I mean it was still pretty good. Now English wasn't his least favorite subject or anything, hell reading was one of his favorite past times other than playing video games and making music, it was just that teacher was so annoying and made it so boring.
He put his earbuds in from his phone listening to misery business from Paramore and started his way home walking down the street on his normal route home to walnut street where they live when all of a sudden the ground started shaking 'what the hell is going on he thought 'an earthquake in Philadelphia' he yelled out thinking that was what was going on. All of a sudden what looked like a monster burst out from the manhole in the middle of the street, his eyes widened immensely at seeing the monster, he knew what this beast was 'corrupted' he thought while looking at it. Even though he never really mastered his powers not seeing a reason to, Lapis had still told him stories of her travels and work as a homeworld gem so he knew a lot about gem culture and what happened when a gem was damaged and not healed.
'What is one of these things doing here, it must have just gotten into the sewer somehow because I don't think there's ever been one here before'. Another problem was he had no weapon to fight this thing with and there were people around that could get hurt, he had actually tried summoning his weapon before, a shield as he recalled but his powers were stubborn so he had just said screw it, after all he wasn't that excited to be gem anyway for obvious reasons.
'I'm going to have to just run up on it and distract it so it doesn't hurt anybody' he said as he started to run towards it and as he was he start looking more closely at it, the corrupted was if anything like a giant spider, it had six arms and eight eyes, though his own widened upon seeing a gem as one of them though he couldn't tell which one. Soon he was close enough to the beast to get its attention he yelled out 'HEY UGLY' and then the over grown insect turned to him and just stared at him for a few seconds as if contemplating something and then let out a hissing noise and then charged at him with one of its arms out, his guess was it was probably going to impale him that is if he hadn't have moved out of the way at the last second, but of course the beast was faster than him it had six arms and it used one of them to slap him aside like he was a pebble 'I bet I am to this thing' he thought, leaning back against a car he had just slammed into courtesy of the beast. Now it was gearing up for another charge and he honestly couldn't do anything about it his back felt horrible though he didn't think anything was broken.
'Oh my god' he thought 'l'm going to die from one of the ugliest creatures I have ever seen' just as the corrupted was about to impale him, really impale him when what sounded like a sharp gunshot fired and then before his eyes the beast's whole body racked, it suddenly stopped worrying about him and turned to where the shot had originated from and he did as well and his eyes widened at seeing this person, this person was what looked like about his age actually, was taller than him about three in a half inches taller, had short pink hair a short white dress, was skinny and had what looked to him like a bolt action rifle with a bayonet at the end it also had a pink skin on it with a red rose print on the side.
The girl quickly pulled the bolt and shot again this time severing a leg frim the gem looking at the spider now it seemed like it didn't know what to do as the girl once more pulled the bolt and was about to end its miserable existence when it suddenly jumped up through the air and it looked like it was trying to land on her, but she just calmly stood there and raised her rifle and shot this time it going straight to the middle of the corrupted's body making its physical form vanish as a green gem flew down towards the girl she caught it making her rifle vanish back into her own gem which he noticed was on her upper right arm, she looked at the gem in her hand impassively before crushing it in her hand. 'Damn' he thought 'she don't mess around' she looked at him and he noticed something lit in her eyes for a moment before she turned and started walking away, 'Hey' he called he didn't want her to leave so soon he had a lot of questions to ask, top one being what was another rose quartz doing here, but as he struggled up he noticed she was already gone.
He arrived home later walking up the stairs to the apartment and said hello to Lapis she was wondering why it had taken him a longer than usual to get home 'I stopped at the library to get a book for this history project my teacher gave me' he lied 'Oh okay do you just want me to call you down when dinner is done' lapis replied 'yeah I'd like that' he felt bad for lying to lapis he didn't think he had ever done that before but if he told her there were corrupted gems in the city (including a strong ass rose quartz) she'd probably want to go out and start looking for them and he didn't want her getting hurt or swept up into anything just because she wanted to protect him' he thought as he headed up the stairs, pepsi in hand and sat at his desk pondering what had just happened.
'wow what a freakin day'
So yeah its me and this was my idea from the start. I always wondered what it would be like if steven ever met another rose quartz different from his mother of course. The new cover photo will be what she looks like not drawn by me.
