Chapter Nine: A Display of Affection
Turquoise had liked Malachite since they first talked. And if he risked his life for her, he did too. And it was their turn to shine now. To set an example to the other Diamonds.
Turquoise let Malachite sweep her off the ground. They had started the dance. There was no turning back.
They danced a ball dance. And at the end, one of Turquoise's most precious moments happened.
Their first kiss.
They stood there embracing each other until they glowed. And what came out was like Rose Zircon to Blue Diamond.
Coesite.
He had amazing white hair with transparent tips. He was two feet taller than the tallest basketball player out there. His skin was a pale and blinding white, in some places transparent with no veins or anything showing, if he even had them. He wore one black earring, like Calcite, and wore ripped white jeans instead. His eyes were white as white can be.
Coesite's weapon acted like Turquoise's wrist blade except for the fact that the blades were longer and sharper, could shoot three of the blades and the other two could shoot energy.
He shot three of the largest blades right between Pink Diamond's eyes so that the ones on the left and right hit her eyes. They did, but it wasn't fatal. He shot a blast at her gem. A slight crack. Not much.
And so he summoned one more bladed gauntlet. Now he could shoot six blades and four blasts.
Pink Diamond evaded each of the attacks Coesite threw at her. And she did something no other Gem could.
She summoned a Warp Pad under all of the Gems.
As they warped, Pink Diamond just waved at them with a grim and evil smile on her face.
Gems have to unfuse while warping.
Malachite and Turquoise could've been vaporized if they didn't remember to in time.
They certainly knew then that they'd best play the last battle right.
If they wanted to be back at the Temple instead of the moon.
And they knew then.
They'd have to win the next one.
Or else.
