Chapter Three: SPAR OF Shards
Blue Diamond was the kind of guy who didn't need to speak to send a message. He'd just cast a glare, and you knew right then he'd want you dead. He aimed for the most exposed gem on Calcite, the hand one that belonged to Tourmaline. He hit, and it cracked just a tiny bit, but Calcite didn't care. It didn't draw blood, if Gems even HAD blood. He decided he'd sprint behind him, then, if he tried to attack, he'd parry from behind. You could say Calcite could stop time and come up with a strategy. And he did just that: And he'd hit. Once. Twice. Three times in a row, he'd hit. The third one was on the shoulder with the gem, which made Blue Diamond yell in anger. How had the scientists not noticed the wreckage and inhuman screeches?
Calcite decided it'd be four more hits until he'd win the battle.
Blue Diamond immediately turned when he felt Calcite would strike again. But Calcite was in front of him before he turned, which made the blue Gem feel confused and dazed. Calcite brought out two scimitars, mashed them together, and made a double-sided blade, which spun quickly to imitate a shield. Then Blue Diamond turned and he shot. Right between on Calcite's collarbone. The gem cracked to where one more hit would make him return to his base Gems. And then the carbon grew into a diamond cluster, which would eventually crack the gem. Calcite took two more hits with both blades. And, right as Blue Diamond let out a cry, so did Calcite, and the white Gem unfused. Blue Diamond retreated to his Gem to regenerate, right as an unknown pink force bubbled his gem. Shards of calcite and diamond were spread across the floor, mimicking a spike field.
The Gems decided then.
They took a jump, Tiger's Eye and Onyx carrying the near-fractured Gems.
And they headed away from the lab.
Into the city.
The peninsula.
Beach City.
