After a long hug, the Topaz and Bloodstone separated. "Well, it took 7,000 years, but I kept my word." Topaz said. "Thanks." Bloodstone said happily. He began to cry again. "I... I'm sorry. I caused so much pain. To all of you." Steven walked to Bloodstone and hugged him. "It's OK." The boy reassured. "Your Gem was cracked and you went insane. It's happened to others before, and they're OK now. We forgive you." "What will you do now?" Garnet asked the red Gem. "Good question." Bloodstone replied. "If I don't get back, Yellow Diamond will send more Gems. There really will be an invasion." Topaz suddenly had an idea. He walked to an orange crystal jutting out of the ground and smashed it. He handed the shards to Bloodstone. "Give these to Yellow Diamond. Say they're mine." Topaz explained. "OK. But how will I get back to Homeworld?" The two best friends looked at the ship wreckage, courtesy of Prism. They both got the same idea. "Amber?" Topaz asked. "Amber." Bloodstone confirmed.
After a pretty embarrassing fusion dance, Topaz and Bloodstone were gone, a large, dark orange man about four inches taller than Garnet in their place. Amber had four arms, four eyes, two light blue, two red, a head of long, messy burgundy hair, a dark orange rhombus-shaped Gem on his right shoulder, a round Gem of the same color on his back, and a sword scabbard on both sides of his waist. He walked to the smaller half of the ship, lifted it, and put it back into place. Pearl had gone to Steven's dad's car wash to grab a blowtorch during all of this. While she welded the ship together, Peridot repaired the computer systems and thrusters. Garnet helped Amber with all of the literal heavy lifting, while Steven and Amethyst had a lunch break, eating turkey sandwiches and watching the others work.
Once the ship was completely repaired, Amber unfused, becoming Topaz and Bloodstone once again. Bloodstone started to board the ship, but looked back. He stood silent, then waved at the others. "Crystal Gems," He said. "It was nice to meet you all. Especially you, Steven." "Will we see you again?" Topaz asked. "Anything's possible." Bloodstone said, and he boarded the ship and took off for Homeworld. Steven looked over at Topaz, who had a tear in his eye. He patted the swordsman on the shoulder. Topaz looked down at Steven and smiled. The Crystal Gems then returned to the temple to get some sleep. It was only then that everyone realized it was 7 a.m.
Meanwhile, on Homeworld...
Bloodstone entered Yellow Diamond's chamber. "The job has been done, my Diamond. Topaz is dead." Bloodstone said, presenting 'Topaz's' shards. Yellow Diamond looked closely at the pieces. "You have served your people well, Bloodstone. You may leave, now." Without a word, Bloodstone left. Did you really think that you could fool me with these fake shards, Topaz? Yellow Diamond thought to herself. Have your fun on your precious planet now, defect! The Cluster will not fail me as Bloodstone did.
And that's the end of 'The Gem Swordsman!' I would like to thank you all for reading this fanfiction and not writing hate comments about it, unlike those haters who commented on my Sword Art Online fic that I am currently rewriting. (It was a bit bad.) Anyways, thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy the next fanfic! Goodbye!
