New Gem in Town
The Crystal Gems went near the crash site with the kids following behind. Everyone ducks near some rocks before something would happen.
"What could it be?" Steven asks.
"It could be another Homeworld Gem," Pearl says, "Peridot must have called for reinforcements."
"If she did, there would've been more of those crashes," Garnet replies.
"So, what should we do with it? Bust it up? Crush it into space dust? Or should we just throw it into the ocean and see if it hits Lapis and Jasper?" Amethyst kept asking.
"Um, guys? I know I'm new to this whole Gem thing, but should it be moving?" Connie looked at the crystal.
"Moving?" Garnet saw the crystal shaking.
Pearl got in front of Steven and Connie, "Steven, Connie, stay here."
"Aww, but we want to help," Steven protests.
"If whatever that thing beats me, then you can help," Garnet smiles. Steven and Connie smiles and nods as they hid behind the rock. The Crystal Gems got closer to the crystal as something smashes the top of it and a hand grabs the sides then lifted itself up. A boy emerges from inside and wipes off shards off his left arm. The Crystal Gems saw he had two gems on both of his hands.
"Did Homeworld send a Fusion Gem to attack Earth?" Pearl asks. The boy looked left and right and they got a good look at him. He was wearing black and red tennis shoes, black jeans with lightning decal near his knees, a red t-shirt with a lightning bolt across his shirt, a third gem on his heart judging by the gem shape his chest makes under his shirt as he wipes off the shards, black hair with bangs over his left eye, a single fang on his top left teeth, and ghost white skin.
"That's not a Fusion," Garnet says, "I don't know how, but I think that's a Gem." The boy jumps onto the beach and sticks his finger on his tongue. He then dips his finger in the sand then licks the finger.
"Oxygen levels are stable, water pH level is 7, and the sand contains the trail of at least five gem beings," the boy walks to the temple, "So, this is the home of Rose Quartz." Pearl blasts a laser at his feet.
"Who are you?! How do you know about Rose?!" Pearl demands.
"A mere traveler," the stranger bows, "And you must be the Crystal Gems, the three fearless Gems that stood by Rose Quartz in the war. Or should I say four, Ruby and Sapphire?"
Garnet gasps, "How did you…?"
"Enough talk! Fight now!" Amethyst charges.
Amethyst: Gem from a Kindergarten stationed on Earth. Weapon of Choice: Whip. Ambitious, acts before thinking, wants to prove to the other Gems she deserves to be on the team, the traveler thought as his eyes turn black with red iris, "Begin analysis." Amethyst does a roll attack as he steps to his right. She grabs her whip from her gem and tries to wrap the traveler up, but he grabs the whip and spins her till she let go. He kept the whip as she brought two more out. She tries to hit Jack but he kept moving like he was breakdancing rather than fighting.
"Analysis complete. Best weapons to use…" the traveler's eyes went back to normal as he brings out black claws with white edges with two lightning bolts making an "X" on the handles, "…claws." Amethyst wraps her whips around one of his claws and brings her whips up then down to do an energy surge attack. Before the the surge came, he rams the claws wrapped around into the sand and slashes the whips off with his other claw. He charges with one of the claws in the sand and made it come up to provide cover. He then grabs the cut ends of the whips then gets behind Amethyst. The surge struck back to her and was caught off-guard.
"Hey, that was not cool, dude!" Amethyst yells.
"How's this for cool?" the traveler deactivates his claws then places the whip he got from her between his three gems. The whip disappears and the traveler summons his claws again. This time, the claws were replaced with six whips. He spun both hands into circles until the six whips turned into two big ones, one on both handles. He uses one whip to grab her by the ankles and the other around her body. He spins around and threw her to a boulder with her still wrapped up.
She was struggling to get out as the traveler said, "I'll show you a real whiplash, Amethyst." He brings his hands up then down to unleash a black energy surge and knocks Amethyst unconscious as he calls his claws back to his hand gems.
"How dare you hurt her?!" Pearl charges with her spear.
Pearl: pure Gem from Gem Homeworld. Weapon of Choice: Spear. Organized of the highest quality, skilled in the ways of the blade, takes pride in protecting Rose Quartz's gem, the traveler's eyes went black again, "Begin analysis." Pearl charges and thrust forward as he flipped and lands behind her then sweep kicks behind her. She lands on her butt as she tried to get up. The traveler grabs Pearl and she thought he was going to throw her, but he got her back up while she was confused.
"An honorable warrior never attacks an opponent while he's down," the traveler backs up. Pearl swings her spear to him as he catches it under his arm then pulls it away to make it land on the sand. Pearl got two more spears and made ten Holo-Pearls.
"Analysis complete. Best weapons to use…" the traveler brings out two shields that had a red center, a black edge, and a white lightning bolt across them both, "…shields." He charges ahead and rams a few Holo-Pearls then lays the shields flat on his arms and spins to shred a few more. Pearl starts blasting her lasers from her spear as the traveler blocks them.
"Let me show you true firepower," he lowers his shields and grabbed the spear on the sand then places it in the center of his gems. He summoned his shields again and the edge of both shields had several of Pearl's spear tips. He threw one shield at Pearl as she ducks.
"Now that he missed…" Pearl charges as she saw the spear tips started to glow. She knew what came next and ducks as the lasers got past her.
"I knew you couldn't control my weapon," Pearl scoffs.
The traveler smirked, "Did you hear my shield crash or the lasers blast something?" Pearl realizes he was right. She looks behind her and the lasers went to the shield that was floating in the air.
"Let's see how you like it, Pearl," he pulls the shield he had on hand and the lasers that landed on the other shield came back and struck Pearl multiple times. She got on her knees and passes out as he lowers his shields into his hand gems.
"That's enough!" Garnet angrily charges with her gauntlets.
Garnet: Fusion Gem from Gem Homeworld. Weapons of Choice: Gauntlets. Calm and collected, incredible strength from both Gem, relies solely on Fusion to battle, the traveler went black eyes, "Begin analysis." Garnet just rapidly punch so she she can hit him, but he was moving left and right to avoid the attacks. She then punch the ground to grab a boulder and threw it up as she launches her gauntlets to make the boulder shatter above the traveler.
"Analysis complete. Best weapon to use…" the traveler's heart gem glows and covered him in a layered armor which the end of each layer looked like lightning, "…armor." The rocks came onto the armor but bounces of as if it was just rain.
"I don't know how you were able to stop that attack nor how you figured out I'm a fusion, but no one hurts my friends!" Garnet launches both of her fists to the traveler as he jumped and flip in the air and grabbed her left gauntlet.
"You should be more worried about this Weapon Fusion," the traveler lowered the hand part of the armor then places the gauntlet between the gems. Garnet tries to stop him, but he jumped on top of her and bounced off her head as the gauntlet disappears. The traveler reactivates the armor on his hands and they turned into gauntlets. Garnet charges again as the traveler stomps his feet. He kept stomping then charges with full speed. Garnet places her fist in front of her, but as they were about to collide, the traveler ducks down then struck at Garnet's face with the armored gauntlets. She was knocked down but got back up with her glasses off.
"That's it. No mercy," Garnet grabs her hands together and slams on the ground that caused a mini-earthquake. The traveler places the gauntlets on the ground then used the force to launch into the air, away from the quake.
"Look out below, Garnet," he dives towards Garnet then flip to make his foot hit Garnet's face. Garnet passes out from pain as he brings his armor to the heart gem.
"H-he even beat Garnet," Connie whimpers in fear.
"Well, now it's time we helped them," Steven walks to the traveler with Connie behind him.
"You think you can take me on after witnessing the defeat of these three Gems?" he asks.
"No," Steven tightens his fist, "But it's better than not trying at all." the traveler noticed a sense of determination in Steven.
"Very well. You and your human friend can try," he nods. Connie charges with her sword and starts slashing as the traveler blocks all the attacks with his shield on his left arm, and the traveler made his claws on his right hand then spun to strike. Steven got to the side to block with his shield, but Jack took the split second to replace the claws with part of his armor then sent Steven flipping over as he lands on his feet.
"Connie!" Steven charges with his shield ready to ram the traveler. He ran from Connie and clashes his shield with Steven's.
"Give it up. You know you can't beat me," the traveler said as they pushed each other by their shields.
Steven shook his head, "That might be true, but that doesn't mean I'm giving up." The traveler was admiring Steven's attitude as another laser blasted near his face.
"Get away from Steven, you monster!" Pearl yells as the Crystal Gems got up and ran to protect Steven.
"It's time to end this," the traveler jumps away from Steven and threw his shield up in the air. He then threw one claw in the air along with the energy from his heart gem that contained his armor and threw it with the other weapons. He raises his hand in the air then a thunderstorm forms and struck the weapons with lightning. The armor became a scabbard, the claws into a sword blade, and the shield became the guard and handle. The scabbard landed on Jack's left hand then he pulls the sword out as he charges at the Gems and ready to attack. Garnet punches as Jack used the scabbard to block then struck her stomach with the sword. Amethest tries to hit him with her whip, but he slashes it to pieces then struck her stomach. Pearl slashes with her spear and blocks her stomach, but Jack pulls the spear down with the scabbard then struck her chest. He slowly puts the sword in the scabbard, and when he places it in completely, the Crystal Gems went "POOF".
Steven ran to the gems and grabs in tears, "Garnet…Amethyst…Pearl…" The traveler came close to Steven as he backs away until he was against the rocks. He closes his eyes thinking the stranger was going to destroy Steven as well.
"Heal them," the traveler made his sword disappear.
Steven wipes his eyes, "What?"
"Use your healing power on the Gems, and I'll take care of the rest," the traveler moves his finger over his heart gem as if he was crossing his heart, "I promise no funny stuff."
Steven gulps, "It doesn't always work."
"To use your healing powers, you must feel happiness and sincerity. Remember that who you're helping is you family then feel the love you have for each of them and that you'd do anything for them," the traveler tells Steven. He was hesitant at first, but then Steven thinks about the times Garnet would stay with him when he was scared, when Amethyst would play with him when he wanted company, and when Pearl helps him when he gets hurt. He licks all four gems as the traveler held his hand out, and Steven gave him the gems. The traveler threw it up and made lightning strike on the gems, and Steven was worried about his friends. The lightning died and as the gems fell down, four bodies of light came down. Two smaller bodies came together and formed one bigger body. The light died down and Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl were healed as if they never even fought as they land on their feet.
"Guys! Are you okay?!" Steven ran to hug all the Gems.
"Don't worry, Steven. We're fine," Garnet replies.
"Yeah, dude. So stop being sad like that," Amethyst rubs her knuckles on his head.
"Now, let's deal with this…this…stranger," Pearl was ready to fight. The traveler kneels on one knee and crosses his right fist over his heart gem.
"You are stronger than I anticipated, son of Rose Quartz," he says as the Crystal Gems gasps, "Seek me after you are all healed if you wish to speak with me." He smells something in the air and his stomach growls. He activates his armor and charges into town.
"Who was that?" Steven got star eyed.
"Let's find out," Garnet grabs Steven and Connie as the Gems went after the mystery new Gem.
