Chapter 6

An image projected in Stevens head, and showed him exactly where Moonstone had run off to."Hm, okay Moonstone , I'm coming." Steven muttered. He runs down the stairs and hops onto Lion. "Lion, I need you to take me to Beach City's beach." Lion roared which projected a bright pink portal and that teleported both Steven and Lion to the white sandy beach which Moonestone is located.

Once there, Steven called out Moonstone's name."Moon!" He yelled. "Moon, where are you?!""I'm over here Steven." Moonstone said gloomily. Steven looks around."I don't see you." He tried to walk forward, but ended up stepping on something firm."I'm behind energy wall that looks like a box ."suddenly the box disappeared "How does it look like a box ?" Steven asked."Oh it's easy, to explain it has a camouflage .""Oh...wait, I'm still confused." Steven said. Onyx sighed."Let me explain." He said. "I'm able to control light and lighting, not to mention blend in by creating enough mass and fooling them I mainly use the light for defensive maneuvers, and the lighting for offensive maneuvers."Oh...so that explains you're gem weapon.""Correctamundo a word I never used And may never will again ." Moonstone said. "Speaking of which, I'm sorry that I almost hit you with it.""That's kinda what I wanted to talk to you about." Steven said as he sat next to Moonstone . "Moonstone , why did you run away?" Moonestone remained quiet."It's just that...I could never live with myself knowing that I hurt you." Moonestone said. Stevens eyes lit up with emotion."You know what Moonestone ." Steven said. "You're a true friend." Moonstone stared at Stevens face. He took his hand and smiled "you know what Steven in 1,000 years I never met anyone who said anything to make me feel important"."Steven!" Pearl yelled. "Darn it, I told you not to be around this gem anymore!""Pearl! No!" The ground began to tremble and something rose up and towered over all of them

The creature resembled an emerald green centipede, but a centipede that towered over them only. It made it's move and aimed at Steven. Steven stared at the beast in trembling fear, Moonestone {on the other hand} activated his gem, as I glowed and created a sand barrier that encased Steven and shielded him from the attack."Garnet, Amethyst get ready!" Pearl said. "Moonestone , take Steven to a safe place." Pearl said."Right." Moonstone said, however, the emerald green centipede was fast on the attack. The barrier wore off, and Steven ran to Moonestone ."The Centipedle." Steven said."The Centipedle?" Moonstone asked, but the monster was attacking the other gems. Garnet had equipped herself with her two red gauntlets, and punching the monster. Amethyst on the other hand was trying to pull the Centipedle back with her gem studded whiplash. Pearl was blasting the monster with energy balls that we're being projected from her spear."STEVEN, Moonestone!" She said. "GO NOW!""No, you need our help." Steven said. Moonstone thought for a moment, then concocted an idea."Steven, fuse with me." Moonstone said."What?" He said."Trust me, all you need to do is follow my lead." Moonstone said. Moonestone got into position as his gem shined bright, Stevens gem did the same. Moonstone's began to dance freely and slowly so Steven could synchronizes his movements. Finally both of them took each others arms and fused. It wasn't Steven or Moonestone anymore, but fused together they became."cobalt."
