CHAPTER 4: Wonder Fusion
"We must unfuse!" said the Lazuli's dominant voice, while Jasper's one said "What is the problem? I feel powerful… Stronger… And… Logical!" "I'm feeling nervous… Fusion with different gem types are prohibited on Homeworld! We are going to be shattered!" "Not if We stay fused as long as We can!" said Brown Jasper for comfort the poor lazuli, that replied "Yeah… Maybe…" and then, with her voice stabilized, Malachite said "Yeah… I can stay… We can… Feel strong and smart together… The flaws of the one of us, fixed by the Abilities of the other one… We can finally be… Complete… I can be… Myself… I can be… Malachite!", the fusion accepted what She was, and she knew what she had to do.
And so, days have passed, Malachite, in all her glory, fought any kind of crystal gems, poofed many of them, and bubbled a good part of them… And with the days becoming months, she started to dig inside Brown Jasper's hole in order to make her own hideout, where she could deposit all the bubbled gems, and plan various attacks and strategies… And with the months becoming years, She developed Her own moves by combining the two gems weapons, She developed Her own strategies by combining the fighting styles of the two gems… She developed Her own identity and personality, by combining the two gems persona's… Malachite became Her own gem… She was no longer Lazuli or Brown Jasper… Because they were completely synchronized.
One day, thirty years later the first time she was formed, while flying over the desert, Malachite saw a platoon of crystal gems, and said while looking at it "Well well… What a nice platoon I'm looking at… It would be a shame if a comet would crash over their head!" She later summoned Her Helmet, and after a spin, she launched herself toward the enemies, screaming "MALACOMET!", the impact caused the mass poofing of the entire platoon, whose gems were all retrieved by the fusion, bubbled and sent to the hideout... later She said "Maybe it's time to redeem this clods! Let's head to home!" and by summoning her arm wings, she flew away toward the Beta Kindergarten.
At the hideout, Malachite was looking at all the one hundred and seventy four bubbled gems She collected in all those years, and said undecided "Which one should I redeem for first?!" She looked carefully, and then she choose the Blue Agate gem, that reformed in front of her eyes, and that immediately yelled "The Homeworld upper crust must be annihilat…. Oh…", the two starred to each other, until Malachite said "Hi!" "THE FUSION!" screamed the scared Agate, while the fusion replied "Don't be afraid of me! I'm friendly… Sort of… Is making you retreating in your gem for redeeming you considered a friendly act?!" "Stay away from me! You want me to come back to Homeworld's tyranny! I've been fighting for Rose Quartz in order to be Free, I would not let you do this to me!".
"Why not?! In the end, Homeworld want to keep the order! The diamonds want that We take all the resources of a planet in order to keep gems alive, and in order to produce more gems and expand our society and empire! You said that you are fighting for be "Free"… But do you at least know what really Rose quartz is fighting for?!" Malachite's question started to make the Agate's logic conflicting about what she usually believed in, and replied "Rose quartz… She… She… She's fighting for the life of earth… Not for the gems…".
"That's right… Rose Quartz is manipulating you for her deeds! Homeworld is straight about what we have to do… Rose?! She is a liar… In this years I had the possibility to hear various crystal gems stating various "motivations" about the rebellion itself… None of them were the same… She lied to you… Trust me, I would never lie to you…" Malachite was straight with Her idea, and so, the Agate started to think about it… And in the end, she decide "I… I can't do much if not agreeing with you…" "So… Welcome onboard… Welcome to the Diamond Gems Squad… formed right now by the way!" the two shakes their hands, and the team was officially funded.
Three days passed from that moment, among the one hundred and seventy three captured crystal gems that were bubbled, only the Dolomite and the Peridot were the only to be redeemed… The others were released because of the gentle persona of Malachite, derived from the Lazuli's one, with a little menacing advise from the derived persona of the Jasper…
"So, what is the premise of this little Unit composed by "Defective Components"?" Asked the Peridot, Whose Malachite's Answer was "We have one particular objective: Retrieve a good amount of Crystal Gems, in order to redeem them and stabilize Homeworld's society!" and Dolomite asked naively "Like you did with us?!" "Yep… Like I did with you!", then Peridot Asked "So… Why releasing the one that weren't "Redeemed"?" "Very simple my dear… They will go back to the battlefield… My words will shortly made them insecure of their belief, and once they'll realize that Rose Quartz Lied to them, KABOOM, Homeworld, Especialy us, will have a huge army to send to that Quartz… and with the victory by the Hands of us… We would be forgiven by our infractions, and most important… they are gonna give us our own Pearls!" replied Malachite with a creepy/Happy Grin on her face, to which Agate replied "I better do not accept any other Pearls for the rest of my Existence… Rose's Pearl was a terrifying fighter… I don't want to be shattered by my own Pearl… so... I will pass!" "Mmmmh… Understood… so… What do you think?!" asked in the end the fusion, to which the three Gems didn't gave a sure answer… before accepting to fight for that cause, much to Malachite's pleasure.
A four gems special squad was formed that day… a little assault squad of Homeworld, whose goal was fighting for the diamonds, despite being defects… A fusion of a defective Brown Jasper and a Fighting Lapis Lazuli and three former rebels… They were, the Diamond Gems.
