A/N: Hopefully this chapter will be a little longer then last time ^_^ Enjoy!
Peridot scrambled behind the tree she was sitting against, hoping they wouldn't see her.
They saw her alright.
The tree was ripped out of the ground and thrown aside to reveal the one who called herself garnet. Peridot fell back and stared hopelessly at her enraged face.
"Ehehe.." Was all that would come out of her mouth. Before she could activate her helicopter fingers, Garnet had grabbed her and slammed her against another tree.
Peridot coughed a few times, unable to move from the impact. The purple gem used her whip to grab her, and again the weak gem was slammed against something, this time the ground.
Her visor fell off and shattered on the ground, and she was already covered in scratches and grazes. Peridot started breathing heavily and she held her side where a large tear in her uniform was present.
Garnet walked up to her again. Peridot scrambled backwards to try and get away but she tripped over and immediately she could feel tears start to dwell in her eyes. She had never been this tortured before, not even at homeworld where usually gems walked around with huge injuries.
The green gem pointed her arm cannon at her attacker but Garnet just punched it away. The impact tore Peridot's lower arm right off and only leaving the small upper half attached to her body.
Tears came down her face as she held the remaining portion of her arm in pain. It would never hurt just amputating it herself but forcing it off was a whole different story.
Either they didn't notice her crying or they just didn't care. Garnet whacked her again sending her flying into the tree next to Pearl and creating a cloud of dust. The three present Crystal gems all heard a particularly loud electronic buzz coming from Peridot. Once the dust cleared they walked up to her. It was a surprise she hadn't poofed, Seems she's weak but super resistant. Unlike the corrupted gems they fight, which are strong but poof when damaged this much.
They noticed small shocks going through her body, and her glowing gem which soon faded on cue with her tear-strained eyes fluttering open. The three earth gems held their weapons tightly waiting for Peridot to make her next move. Instead, she looked confused at what had happened but she was still crying, probably from the pain.
The warp pad illuminated again and a young boy ran up to the crowd.
"Did you find Peri- Oh.."
The boy was shocked at the drastic change in the gem he was particularly familiar with. She had one less arm, lots of injuries and worst of all tears were still coming down her cheeks.
"What happened here?" Steven questioned all three of them.
Peridot was still confused.
A/N: I'm trying to get as many of these chapters out as I can before tomorrow, So for now enjoy this slightly longer chapter :)
