Steven opened his eyes, he was on a warp pad and ended up on a deserted island, he decided to explore. The island was thick with trees and a single path lined the center, no buildings or structures were in sight, only a wooden bridge over to another island, it was more tropical with a beach house in the front, Steven raced towards it, his sandles came across the sand hard, he looked inside to find a girl, no a gem. She had two gems on her shoulders and a black tank top with a over sized purple jacket, hanging down over her hands. She had black trousers and purple sneakers. Her skin was pale with a purple tinge to it and pony tails on either side of her head, her eyes were narrow and she wore glasses, she had a weapon that was crossed with a gun and a sword. She flinched at his arrival.
"H-hi, I'm Steven." He introduced to the strange female, she showed her face, with had strange marks on it, a thin stripe on either cheek, with three white dots over her eyes. her nose had a arrow on it and her eyes glowed a white light matching the marks.
"I am Jade." She introduced herself. She sat up and looked at him wearily. She let her weapon go back into her gems and nodded at an unknown question. She split into two forms, splitting herself apart into two gems, one a bluish greenish, the other a bright pinkish both wore the same attire, a dress coming down to their knees, with a little ribbon at the back. They both had hair going down to their shoulders, the same color as their attire, a lighter shade of their skin. They both had bright white pupils instead of black. They were twins obviously, one held a sword, the other a gun, the blue-green one holding the sword, the pink holding a gun. They stared at Steven. "Rhodochrosite." The pink one introduced, holding up a unfamiliar gem to Steven on the back of her left hand.
"Aquamarine." The blue-green one said, holding up a rather familiar gem to him, more familiar than whats-its-face over there. "You may call me Aqua though." She said kindly, and more shy, less blunt than her twin. "That's Rhoda, her shorter name that is, no one except her can pronounce her full name." She giggled, Rhoda gave her a look of disgust. She kept on smiling anyway. "Whats brings you here." Aqua asked.
"I was j-just, looking for somewhere to settle down and think about something, I didn't expect anyone else.." He lied, he knew he'd run into a homeworld gem. Speaking of which when the couple departed out of their fusion, bright yellow diamonds showed on the corners of their dresses. "A-are you from homeworld?" He asked.
"Used to be, before Peridot went insane with making everything her way." Rhoda complained. "She makes me sick."
Aqua let out a laugh, "She wasn't that bad.." She said shyly. "Don't mind her she can be blunt." Aqua said to Steven about her twin. Steven saw an opportunity to gather information.
"Do you know when the homeworld gems with be coming to Earth-"
"Their coming here?!" They both exclaimed frightfully. "No way.." Aqua said suddenly frightened. "Earth is doomed!" She said, the ripped at her bangs in stress. Steven gave up. These gems weren't any use to him.
"I should get going.." He said. Rhoda held him back.
"Tell us everything you know." She said intimidatingly. He struggled to tear away from her hands, she grinned. "We must bring Peridot down!" She said excitingly, "We won't lose again!" She insisted.
"B-but-" Steven was cut off as the warp pad activated. He looked out the window, seeing a shadow come out of the trees. It was obviously a gem, before he knew it, she lunged at the group with her weapon, still Steven couldn't determine her features. He jumped back from her attacks, dodging left, right, up, down, he attempted to pull away and ended up having her slash at his wrist. He doubled over in pain. Steven suddenly realized he was carrying something.. no.. someone, he squinted and watched in horror at who the figure was, he passed out. As the weapon hit his chest piercing him in two, he retreated too his gem.
Steven sat in the field of roses, admiring the petals in the air. He glanced at a figure. She was coming at him slowly. Steven looked up toward the sky, rose petals swarmed the air. The single figure stood in front of him. "Steven, take care of them okay?" The lady asked in a soft tone. The world swayed around him and turned dark. Her shadow turned white and looked as if it was reaching toward him. "Please... keep them safe." The figure said. She had pink hair in beautiful curls, Steven had sworn he'd seen her before, she wore a big white dress and a kind face. She had the same gem as him and he realized he was in his gem, that was the only way he'd be able to talk to his mother after all.
Sorry this was so short, I had a lot to do today, and wanted at least one chapter up today, I'm proud that I at least came up with this. Hope you enjoyed!
