It feels good to be back on the keyboard! So, it was a close one, but Soren's side won. You guys must really like Soren, and I'm okay with that! Anyway, I do not own Steven Universe or its characters, ideals, ect. Please, leave a comment on my mistakes. And thus, here is chapter eleven. And chapter ten of Mass Effect: Awakening will come tomorrow. I'm sorry.

CHAPTER ELEVEN: Soren vs. Aquamarine
Soren had no idea what had happened in the first few seconds. He was swinging his sword at the female gem, whose armor was so undistinguished she could have been mistaken for a man. Aquamarine, meanwhile, was blocking the sword strikes quickly, her gauntlets hardening with every strike. Soren could only precisely count the number of swings she blocked. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Then, Aqua burst out her right hand, shoving the sword out of the way and opening up Soren's stance. She then leaped into the air and roundhouse kicked Soren in his solar plexus.
The allied gem went flying into a nearby tree, losing his sword, and making a crack in the bark. Soren was winded, shocked at the amount of force she just delivered. It was the collected amount of force he used swinging his sword. He looked at her angrily, and saw her coming in with a gem destabilizer active. Soren rushed forward, summoning two more blades. He deflected her destabilizer with his sword, trying to swipe at her wildly. She deflected each attack with her gauntlets, and seemed to be counting. After another eight hits, she dropped to the floor and thrust her foot out. The kick landed straight on Soren's stomach and he went flying into the air.
He was soaring high in the air until his back hit another tall tree. This time the tree was flown off its roots, tipping over and onto the ground. Soren realized his blades were gone again and summoned two more. Aqua appeared to also have a pistol now, and was aiming for Soren. She fired walking forward. Sore leaped to his feet, and walked forward, swinging his blades in circles so that the lasers were deflected off his blades. While walking, he knew that his attacks were placing force at one place at a time. He needs to be applying force in two places at once. They got close enough so that Soren could drop low and get up close.
He used his hilt to send the gun flying, and then braced for another attack. Aqua stepped forward and tried to thrust her destabilizer into Soren's chest. Soren stepped back and placed his blade in the area of the destabilizer where the yellow anti-gem energy ran through. With a flick of his wrist, he snapped the sword-like object in two. Aqua, clearly not expecting this, did not stop Soren from grabbing her arm and maneuvering behind her. He flexed her arm behind her back, applying pressure to the joint so the area snaps. The joint, in response, hardens. Soren then sticks his blade into an open area on the back, causing it to harden as well. "Aqua, I don't think your army will win," Soren says. "You've lost too much. You said you love me, you said you regretted not fusing with me! If you love me then you will help us!"
"I'd rather die than love you," Aqua snarled. "I never did love you! You're weak about me! So, just die!" Soren looks at her gauntlet. A bar is red, with a light beeping nearby. He narrowly dodges a kick, letting go of her. He stumbles backwards, sloppily had used reflexes to save himself. He backs into a tree and looks at Aqua. Her armor is producing white smoke, a desperate look in her eye. Soren grinned. There is only so much energy the armor can take until it overheats. Aqua then charges at Soren, her fist raised. She punches at him, but he dodges and she hits the tree instead. Soren follows this up with a brutal move. He trips her legs, leaving her in the air, then grabs her throat and slams her into the ground.
He follows this up with picking her up and throwing her a few meters away. Then, he leaps on top of her and throws a fire ball at her armor. He picks her up by the neck, a fierce grip. She holds onto his arm, her armor smoking profusely now. She then says "Do your worst."
Soren does just that. He shoots an enormous stream of fire at her armor for forty seconds, shrill screams blocked out by the roaring flame. Soren then drops her, and sees her struggling to get her armor off. It is now as hot as molten metal, which it basically is now. She rips herself out of the suit, leaving her in a skin tight body suit. Soren takes this advantage to summon his sword, come up behind her, and thrust into back. He looks over her shoulder to see her gem in pieces. Her body explodes in smoke, leaving only her shattered gem.
Soren takes a hard look at the pieces. The former gem of his lover. His ex-lover. "I chose the right side." He says, before spitting on the ground. He can hold in his remorse for a gem that never loved him the same way. Right now, there are probably to dozen soldiers wearing the same armor attacking Steven and his group of survivors. He makes his sword disappear and runs off to the sounds of screams and gunfire.
Chrono Trigger or Marching Band. Next weekend, I will make a fanfic of whichever you chose. For Chrono Trigger, probably something sappy between Crono and Marle. I can't help it. See you around.
