I don't own Steven Universe. I'm just a kid with an imagination and a computer.
-Amethyst's POV-
Why did someone have to break into the temple at night? I mean seriously, I sleep at night! I'll admit I'm just as freaked out as the others, but I really don't want to search the entire east wing half of the temple right now. I mean I know this is a serious situation, but I am not a serious person. Especially not at ten p.m. Ugh, who did this intruder think they were?
Anyways, nothing in the record room. Metal shop is clear. Nothing in random weapon lockers 12-E to 18-E. I'll never admit this to Pearl but labeling the weapon lockers actually was a pretty good idea. Okay then, onto my room then that rock tunnel thing then those floating platforms and so on and so forth. This, was super boring. At least angst is a good cover for fear.
Okay then, I have about a million piles of stuff in here, better get started. Sock pile, empty. Shoe pile, empty. Shirt pile, nothing. Pants pile, nothing. Sort of okay machines, nope. Kinda okay machines, nope. Not that good machines, nope. Random parts of machines that are broken, nope. Stuff I "borrowed" from Pearl, snicker, no. Wrestling belts, no. Pieces of food, no.
'Rustle... tink... tink... tink... bononononong.'
I turned to see a pot that had fallen from a pile covered in random objects. Objects that were so random that they didn't even belong together. I carefully moved towards the pile and as I got closer I saw a faint rise and fall of objects. As I drew even closer I could hear some quiet breathing. So, this thing was asleep huh? Guess I don't have to call in back up. I'll just walk up to this thing, knock it out, and call the others so that they know that I beat this thing all by myself.
As I moved forward and prepared to draw my whip, a light yellow glowing started in the pile and I heard... what was that a faint beeping?
-Unknown POV-
I was trapped in that dreaded sap. I couldn't move. I couldn't call for help. I couldn't breath. I was drowning in syrup. I quickly created an air pocket to allow myself to breath, but I unconsciously caused the sap to harden rapidly. I had to escape. I had to reach daylight. I heard a voice calling out to me. Looking, searching, calling. Beep. Calling for me. Beep. Beep. Searching but to no avail. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep.
My nightmare quickly dissolved as my eyes flashed open and I reached out for my hour glass timer. After stowing it back into one of my belt pockets I stood up in the mess I'd hid out in and stretched. Okay then. Now I all I need to do is- 'Whoosh'
I turned quickly at the sound of a weapon being drawn. This person appears to have a gem, but I don't recognizance them as one of the Guardian Gems. This must be a temple intruder.
"Stand down." This girl had a bit of an attitude in her voice. She had long messy white hair, and light purple skin. She also appeared to be wearing a very short gray tunic, ripped black tights, and white boots. Whoever this person was, she was obviously both highly childish, perhaps impulsive, and perhaps a tad arrogant. Best case scenario is that she has yet to call for back up. Best use her impulsive nature to my advantage.
-Amethyst's POV-
"Make me." Sassy, and a girl. The cloaked girl proceeded to spread her hands apart as they began to glow bright white. In them appeared a set of twin kunai like daggers with light purple handle wraps and nearly transparent white blades. Daggers against a whip? HA! She is so going down.
"ROAR!" I ran forward and slapped my whip down to hit her on her cloaked head. She threw her daggers into the air. HAH! As if that would save her!
"Scutum tabulis!" The girl's voice took on a light echo as she spoke and swiped her hands across the space in front of her face and body. Her hands left a floating light purple panel across the area she'd moved her hands around. My whip hit and bounced off of the panel as she reached upwards and caught her spin falling daggers on the handles. I pulled my whip back for a second attempt. Suddenly the intruder leaped into the air and kicked the panel towards me. I ducked to the side just in time to avoid the attack.
As I turned to attack again two spinning blades flew by, the first one only just missed me. The other knocked my whip out of my hand. I turned to retrieve my weapon when a white and light purple blur streaked past my face and took my whip. I turned to face the intruder, only three feet away from me. I couldn't actually see her face too well under the hood and a long black bang, but I was sure she was wearing a smirk. I raised my hand to my chest and motioned to pull out another whip, but it didn't come. I'm really starting to regret not calling in back up.
-Unknown POV-
"Oh no! Whats the matter? Can't draw another whip?" I had dropped my voice to a sarcastic tone. I'd reabsorbed the energy from her whip, the only way she'd get it back was if I released the energy back into the weapon or if it broke. I made my one visible eye flash a bright white. An easy trick, but it was truly amusing to watch some of the color drain from my opponent's face.
As she began to draw back in fear, I noticed her eyes dart to the left at a red tube. It was probably a connective network that ran across this temple. My best case scenario must have been correct. She turned to run, but I was faster. I lunged forward and the whip wrapped around its creator's legs. She tripped and fell on her face. I whirled the whip around a few more times until my opponent was firmly trapped. As I walked up to her she glared up at me and growled. I threw a few quick punches around her back that left her immobilized and unconscious.
I freed her of the whip and dragged her limp body around the back of some piles of trash. She'd be out for a while. I leaned down and observed her for a few moments. Then I closed my eyes and concentrated on her features. When I reopened my eyes I was a near perfect copy of my attacker, I'd even adjusted my hair and clothing colors to look exactly like her own. The only actual difference between me and she were the fact that I didn't have a gem on my chest, but hopefully I'd be able to keep up the act long enough to keep anyone from noticing.
I turned from my fallen foe, and proceeded out of the messy room. No time to doddle. After all, I had business to attend to.
