Revenge of Tektite Chap. 3
"WHAT!?" The trio shouted in unison.
"For what reason would you want to kill Rose!?" Pearl screamed.
"Oh she never mentioned me? What a shame. I was hoping you would at least have heard my name," he sighed disappointedly.
"And that would be?" Said a furious Garnet.
"Well, it's of no importance now, seeing as how you are all about to die anyway," the strange gem laughed.
Then…
Garnet snapped.
Lunging forward, she swung her gauntlets wildly at the mystery assailant, only for him to dodge every hit effortlessly.
"Honestly Garnet, you could at lease make me try," he said with a yawn.
This only made the gem warrior angrier as her hits became sloppy and erratic.
"Ok now I'm bored," he said with a smirk, "Now it's my turn."
With one swift punch to the jaw, Garnet went flying. She landed some yards away disoriented and with a headache. Not even Jasper had been able to hit her that hard.
The other gems just watched in horror as their leader struggled to stand.
"Now, who's next?" The stranger challenged.
As soon as the words left his mouth, a black and purple studded whip wrapped around his forearm. His eyes followed the length until his eyes met the shortest of the gems. With a chuckle he yanked his arm towards him, bringing the purple gem along with it. When she reached him he knocked her over with a powerful clothesline to the throat, knocking the wind out of her. Next was Pearl, thrusting her spear at him in an attempt to skewer him. Using the whip, still wrapped around his arm, he blocked the strike, and at the same time cutting the whip from his arm, freeing it. With two arms free he easily disarmed the bird-like gem and hit her across the face with her own weapon. He started to laugh maniacally, until a ruby gauntlet collided with his face, sending him flying. Standing there was a rather enraged fusion huffing and puffing as she tried to stand straight.
The stranger got up slowly, still shaking of the daze he acquired when the fist met his face.
"Agh that really smarts," he groaned, "Forgot all about you." He said with yet another chuckle. "Looks like I can't play around with you guys anymore, huh."
The other two gems, now recovered, stood behind their leader.
"Enough! You cannot beat us! Surrender while you can!" the fusion gem all but snarled.
"Why don't you? I'll admit I am impressed you made it this far," he slowly stood. "But you haven't seen anything yet." He reached for his gem, which was emitting a black light. The gems tensed, actually scared of this mysterious foe. From his gem he pulled a long black scythe. The scythe was about the same size as it's wielder with a sleek, black blade with silver trim. The shaft was black steel with a silver section about 4 inches long in the center. Twirling the weapon around he laughed.
"Awe man does it feel good to wield my blade after so long!" He sighed with relief.
Unknown to him though, the one of the gems recognized that blade.
'No no no no! It can't be him!' Pearl thought.
"W-who are you?" Pearl choked out fearfully.
"Well you did give me a nice little warm up before I go kill Rose, so I guess the least I could do is tell you," he said with a smirk. Reaching for his hood, he pulled it down revealing his face. "My name is Tektite."
Before anyone could even blink Tektite dashed to Garnet, and whispered in her ear, "But you can call me the Grim Reaper," and with one slash, he separated the left half of her body from her right. Before the halves could hit the ground they poofed out of existence and left two gems behind, a ruby and a sapphire. He then turns to Pearl. But as he is about to bring down his blade, he makes eye contact with the pale gem and freezes. His face then turns to a look of confusion. Lowering his blade, he backs up until he feels something hard under his boot. It's the ruby and sapphire.
Tektite picked up the two gems, and tossed one to each of the remaining gems.
"Take these back to Rose. I'm letting you two go because if I killed you now I wouldn't be able to have fun with you," he lied. The two gems were still standing there, dumbfounded. "Hurry up and go before I change my mind!
You didn't have to tell them twice as the two gems fled to the warp pad. However, one had a troubled mind.
"Tektite, what happened to you?" Pearl thought with tears in her eyes as they warped away.
Now alone, the dark gem pulled on his hood and went to the chamber he was imprisoned in. His head felt like it was about to split open. Fragments of memories flashed in his head. Memories of being on the Homeworld, running, killing, Rose Quartz smiling down at him, and lastly, a flood of memories about that gem named Pearl. Talking, laughing, and finally cryingFalling to his knees, he clutched his head in a futile attempt stop the searing pain.
"Who are you?"
