Chapter Twenty Seven: Void Chamber
Oh, how great it felt to set foot in the Void Chamber once more.
Yep, they were there.
Sitting on their thrones were the two Diamonds, fully decked out in pink and blue armor, respectively.
Blue Diamond had his flamethrower and Pink Diamond had her trident.
Pink Diamond hissed, trident next to her.
"You might have defeated me before Black Diamond raised the Spine… but now it won't be that easy!"
Blue Diamond nodded.
Pink Diamond let Blue Diamond take her hand.
He dipped her, then picked her back up, kissing her.
Their bodies glowed yellow before they slightly warped.
Orichalcum had armor covering their entire body, especially near their gems.
They summoned their weapons.
Malachite gave the Gems the sign.
"Gems! Now!"
He gave them each their own clouds to dance on.
Tourmaline twirled the hem of her dress;
Onyx spun, the cloak whirling around him;
Tiger's Eye twirled on one foot before setting both down, glaring behind her;
Turquoise jumped, freezing the soild cloud;
Altaite walked forward, one foot in front of the other, his body cloaked in shadows;
and finally, Malachite, who was in the middle, jumped, onto the roof, pushing off and landing on the cloud.
Their outlines started to glow, while their actual bodies were now transparent.
They floated to where Malachite was, fusing into the perfect fusion;
Two eyes;
Two arms;
Perfect.
This was Stishovite.
And this is the battle for the planet Earth.
Stishovite summoned all the weapons, forming them into a staff which was charged with electricity.
He also had a bladed glove which also protected him from the charge.
Orichalcum snarled.
"Oh, great, you're back. And you're fused again? Why? Fusion is a pathetic method to make weak Gems stronger! Quit humiliating yourselves! We've all seen what you really are!"
"Yes, you think you have. But you've been lied to."
Orichalcum striked with their trident out of pure anger.
Stishovite skillfully dodged it.
"You should just stop now..."
He grabbed Orichalcum's arm, twisting it with all his might.
"…Before I make you regret it."
Orichalcum shot a chunk of carbon at him.
He easily broke it in half with his staff.
"That all you've got?"
"No, try this!"
Orichalcum combined their weapons, forming a morning star. They slammed it into Stishovite, who seemed unscathed.
"Hmph, so be it."
He whacked Orichalcum over the head.
"I won't let you throw me around like a doll anymore! Not after you took our Orthoclase!"
Orichalcum retorted. "She was weak, pathetic! She was a waste of time!"
"No! YOU'RE a waste of time!"
Stishovite slammed the staff into Orichalcum, paralyzing them.
After the paralysis, he broke the back of Orichalcum's armor.
"Agh!"
The giant, unstable Gem fell back.
Stishovite used this to his advantage, breaking the shoulder armor.
Orichalcum yelled.
"NO!"
They made the floor disappear, revealing an abyss.
Stishovite had Nephrite's wings, though, and the only thing the uncovering of the void affected him was the pull.
The pull.
That was it!
If he could manage to knock Orichalcum into the abyss, the two would retreat into their gems and pop out!
Stishovite hit Blue Diamond's gem with his staff, making Orichalcum lose balance for a bit.
He hit the gem again, this time hitting Pink Diamond's as well.
Orichalcum staggered before falling into the abyss.
A few minutes afterwards, the two gems didn't pop up.
Instead, the walls rumbled and the roof collapsed into the void below.
Orichalcum rose again, this time seething with anger.
"YOU THOUGHT YOU'VE SEEN THE LAST OF US?! YOU HAVEN'T!"
They knocked Stishovite into the void, where his wings could barely hold him.
Orichalcum slammed the morning star into Stishovite, slightly cracking Tiger's Eye's and Altaite's gems.
Stishovite smashed the staff into Blue Diamond's gem, which was now nothing more than a cluster of shards.
Orichalcum screeched, attempting to slam Stishovite with one of their four arms.
Stishovite avoided the attack, aiming the staff for Pink Diamond's gem.
He noticed something.
Parts of Orichalcum's armor was falling off.
He'd just have to stall until all of it was off so that he could strike.
Orichalcum kept trying to slam their arms into him but to no avail.
Stishovite smashed into the breastplate, cracking it before it fell into nothing.
Suddenly, the shoulder part came off.
Stishovite dealt the final blow, destroying Pink Diamond's gem.
The two unfused immediately, but Stishovite caught it in a clear bubble.
The fight was over.
And now they can finally return home.
