Chapter 9: Demons and Fusion
They all stared at the very evil looking fusion. She was known as Malachite, but none of them knew that.
"So you have gotten three more to join you on this planet…" said Malachite, "Wait… I know you three you're those humans that Maxixe turned into Gems."
The three conversion gems stood in silence.
"That's right, two of you were able to fight off all of the guards stationed at that base… the Demon and Living Gem stabilizer is what they called you." Said Malachite, "I guess the third one is a weakling."
Nami began to shake.
Hinata grabbed her hand to steady her.
"This isn't like last time." Said Pearl.
"Yeah, we're no longer exhausted." Said Amethyst.
"Though I think it's a better idea if you two fuse." Said Garnet.
"You two are so different I doubt you even." Mocked Malachite.
"Oh yeah! I'll show you!" yelled Amethyst.
"That's not going to get us to fuse…" muttered Pearl.
"Have you ever fused?" asked Garnet.
"No, we haven't gotten the chance…" said Hinata.
"The key is dancing though, right?" asked Nami.
"That's right you need to be in perfect sync to be able to accomplish it." Said Garnet.
As Hinata was still her calming down.
"I guess we should try." Said Nami.
Hinata smiled and nodded.
The two began to hold hands while perform a rather short dance with Nami taking the lead.
There was a bright flash where the two were standing was now a very tall woman with pale orange skin, long orange hair, four arms, she wore a sleeves orange hoody and dark orange Capri pants. Around her neck was the leaf headband and on the hoody was the Straw Hats emblem. On her shoulder was an orange sunstone on of her shoulder as on her one of her left hands.
"Byakugan." Said the fusion.
She the eyes capacitated she wobbled a bit.
"Sorry…" she said, "I know… I need to get used to it."
"They got ion their first try." Said Pearl with her eye twitching.
"We have been living alone together for a good chunk of three years." Said Mirajane, "Plus all three of us get along better than you guys."
"Yeah, yeah…" muttered Amethyst.
"You two need to get your act together." Said Garnet.
"we know…" sighed Pearl.
" have a plan." Said the fusion between Nami and Hinata.
"What is it Hinami?" asked Garnet.
"Hinami?" asked the fusion.
"It's a combination of Hina and Nami…" said Mirajane figure it out.
"When you fusion with Hinata it's going to be hard to come up with a name." said Garnet.
"Hey…" said Amethyst.
"What?" asked Garnet.
"Why hasn't' she attack yet?" asked Amethyst.
They looked to see that Malachite seemed to be frozen, almost struggling to move.
"The other Gem is stopping her." said Hinami, I don't know how long it will take."
"So we have to work fast before she's able to move again." Said Garnet.
"You have to save her!" said Steven.
"Save who?" asked Mirajane.
"Lapis! She's the one holding Jasper back!" said Steven.
"Steven…" said Pearl.
"Come on! Remember she fused with Jasper to save us!" said Steven.
"I have a plan." Said Hinami.
She whispered the plan to both Garnet and Mirajane.
"You think you can do it." Said Garnet.
"I'm sure of it." Said Hinami.
That was when Malachite managed to regain control of her body. A large wave of water rose out.
"I thought I was done with the brat. I'll finish you off." Muttered Malachite, "Then deal with her.
Garnet looked at Mirajane.
"Are you sure…" said Garnet, she didn't know Mirajane for long, but figured she might need help.
"I've been holding back remember." Said Mirajane, "It's why Nami and Hinata were the ones who fusioned…"
That was when she was engulfed in a yellow light, a strange black circle appeared above her, then the yellow light turned black.
"Is she going to be okay?" asked Steven.
"She's fine." Said Hinami.
The light soon died down, Mirajane look compete different. Her normally sweet face was now cruel looking, on her hands were transformed into claws that very much looked like her weapon, her ears were much larger and pointed, her hair was standing up as well as her forehead tail being much longer. Not only that but she had a tail. She also a purple outfit resembling a one piece that partially exposed her cleavage and she when had matching thigh high boots.
"Don't worry…" said Mirajane who's voice was much deeper, "I have complete control over this."
"Oh wow." Said Steven.
"Steven, I know you want to help but make sure you're far away enough you won't get hurt." Said Garnet summoning much larger gauntlets.
"We'll make sure he's all right." Said Pearl.
"Are you going opt turn into Opal? "asked Steven.
"Probably." Said Amethyst.
"All right then!" said Mirajane.
She launched herself at Malachite however Malachite used the water to pull her out opt sea.
"Look like the demon was nothing!" said Malachite with a malicious laugh.
However a while pool appeared in the water and suddenly a good chunk of the water was sent flying at Malachite.
Malachite quickly recovered and grabbed at the site of Mirajane who now that large bat like wings.
"Why doesn't she used it all the time?" asked Amethyst.
"It drains her magic." Said Steven.
"Amethyst." Said Pearl.
Amethyst knew what it meant.
Back with the fight, Garnet ran over to Malachite and slammed into her, she jumped away to let Hinami.
That was when Hinami took a piece of her staff and began to spin it producing yellow bubbles.
"Bubbles seriously?" asked Malachite.
Malachite let the bubbles hit her, that was when she got a very powerful shock.
As Malachite recovered she was suddenly hit by an arrow made of energy.
She noticed that Opal had formed during the fight (with Steven starry eye now that he finally saw the dance).
Another fusion?" asked Malachite.
She raised her arm, however she found herself frozen once again.
Garnet took this chance to punch her in the face sending her reeling.
Once Garnet was out of the way Mirajane created a sphere out of darkness then sent out a beam.
Malachite managed to start moving again, but was once again as shot by Opal.
"I guess I have no choice." muttered Malachite.
That was when summoned her crash helmet.
"That's not going to work on me." Said Mirajane.
"Oh really demon?" asked Malachite.
Mirajane raised her hand that was when many arms made of Darkness shot out, they began to claw at Malachite, one of them grabbing the crash helmet and tossing it away.
"What are you!" yelled Malachite in shock.
"I'm a mage." Said Mirajane, "I'm a proud member of Fairy Tail!"
Malachite laughed, "I heard that you can't go back your home…" said Malachite, "What did Maxixe say she as going to do if any of you went back to your native planets, again?"
That was when suddenly Mirajane suddenly appeared in front of her.
She placed her hands on Malachite suddenly electrocuting her.
She flew back a bit.
"Are you all right?" asked Garnet.
"I'm fine…" said Mirajane a tears fell from her face.
"Don't let get to you…" said Garnet.
Mirajane blinked then realized something. "You talked to Makarov, didn't you?"
Garnet nodded.
Mirajane sighed.
"I guess technically I told you…" said Mirajane wiping away the tears.
Steven was watching the fight when he noticed something.
"IS something wrong?" asked Opal.
Then Opal noticed it too.
"I'm sure it's part of her plan." Said Opal.
As Malachite recovered, she gritted her teeth.
"I have to figure out a way to beat them." Said Malachite who then muttered.
When knew not the bring Maxixe again… but that was when she realized something was missing.
Malachite began to look at them. "We have Rose, the shameless display, the fusion between the runt and the defect, the demon…" she thought.
Both sets of eyes winded.
"Where's the fusion between the useless one and living gem destabilizer?" asked Malachite.
That was when Malachite felt a sharp pain her back, and suddenly she was defused.
She split back into Lapis Lazuli who was barely conchoids and Jasper who was on the ground but barely able to move.
"How…" said Jasper, "And where are you?"
That was when the air rippled and Hinami suddenly appeared.
"You were so focused on everyone else you compete forgot me. Sure I turned invisible while you didn't notice, but I would have thought you realized I was missing…" Said Hinami, "In other words… you miscounted the men."
Opal tried her best to stifle a giggle.
Steven ran towards Lapis.
"Lapis are you okay?" asked Steven.
She was still unconscious.
"Give up Jasper." Said Garnet, "You lost today."
Japer glared at all of them, she was outnumbered and out gunned.
Unless a miracle happened it was very unlikely she was going to get away.
"What's that thing!" said Hinami.
"What thing?" asked Opal.
That was when they noticed the Robonoids.
"Peridot's here too!" said Garnet.
That was when the Robonoids suddenly released a cloud of smoke that covered the whole beach.
Steven didn't know what was going on so he covered himself and Lapis in the bubble.
In less a minute later it suddenly started raining, which cleared away the smoke. However when it was clear Japer was gone.
Hinami scowled.
"She's gone." Said Hinami, "This is bad."
"Why, what's wrong?" asked Steven getting.
"That smoke blocked the Byakugan…" muttered Hinami, "Whoever created those things must have Maxixe's data!"
Mirajane sighed as she turned back to normal.
"Who's Maxixe?" asked Steven.
"We should get her inside." Said Mirajane.
Both Hinami and Opal defused.
"You're dodging the question." said Amethyst.
"No… we're not." said Mirajane, "Since you trust us now I think it's time we tell you about how we turned into Gems the first place…"
Elsewhere near Beach City a Plug Robonoid landed.
"Seriously?" muttered Jasper.
"You should be happy I was able to rescue you at all." Said Peridot, "Thanks to Maxixe's data I was able to cloud White Moonstone's eyes."
Peridot began to message a headache.
"What's you're problem." Muttered Jasper.
"I already managed to send a report to Homeworld… unfortunately Maxixe got word about this so their sending in her and her team so she can recapture the three."
"What you don't get along with her?" asked Jasper.
"No… I admire her, it's one of her underlings I despise." Said Peridot.
"Seriously?" asked Jasper.
"It doesn't mater right now we need to find a place to meet them far away from them." Said Peridot.
Jasper wanted to argue but found that she couldn't.
Peridot was surprised.
"The Demon and Living Gem Detailer earned their reputations." Muttered Jasper.
Peridot raised an eyebrow.
" I think you were fused for too long." Said Peridot.
"I could move right now you would pay foe that." Muttered Jasper.
While the fight was over, the war that just begun, and for now none of the Crystal or Conversion Gems knew but the worst had yet to come…
