Chapter 10: How it All Began
Lapis Lazuli shivered. For a while now she had fused with Jasper in order to protect Steven. She had thought she could protect Steven after what happened. After all the Crystal Gems were exhausted and injured and after spending all that time trapped in the mirror she was sure she had a stronger will than Jasper.
She thought wrong, Jasper managed to slowly but surely assert control. While she was able to stall her at times it wasn't enough.
But neither were expecting those three to be there. She was woos happy that the Crystal Gems had help.
That wash wen she opened her eyes, she realized she was on Steven's bed.
"Lapis!" said Steven who was sitting by her.
"Steven…" said Lapis weakly, she was fused too long with Jasper, she could barley move.
"Are you okay?" asked Mirajane approaching.
Lapis stared at the white gem in front of her.
"Is something wrong?" asked Steven.
"You're so different…" said Lapis Lazuli.
"Sorry for hurting you." Said Mirajane, "Steven mentioned you were friends."
"It's fine." Said Lapis Lazuli.
"Since she's awake, it's time to tell you." Said Mirajane.
"Right." Said Steven, "Will you be fine."
"We're just going downstairs." Said Mirajane.
"Oh right." Said Steven.
The two of them went downstairs where they were waiting.
"It happened about three years ago." Said Hinata.
"You know I've been wondering about that." Said Amethyst, "How can you even keep that in check."
"Computer clock." Said Nami.
"Oh right." Said Amethyst.
"Anyways…" said Hinata.
(Flashback)
Hinata's home planet…
Hinata was doing some training alone. She took a breath and looked up the sky.
"Any day now…" she thought to herself.
There was word that any day now Naruto would be returning from his training trip.
She took a breath, while today was her day off she knew she was going to go on a mission the next day.
That was when she heard some but before she could activate her Byakugan all she knew was blackness.
Mirajane's home planet…
Mirajane was running errands for the Guild Hall, usually she didn't but it was "Solo Season". AKA the time right before the S Class Trials. With the younger set (for the most part) doing solo jobs while the older set just rested and relaxed it was a good idea besides it was probably a good idea to leave Ki nana (a knew waitress with a tragic backstory) take over for a short time so she could learn the ropes.
Plus she knew Lisanna was taking it easy, so once she go back she could spend together.
That was when she sensed someone nearby.
"Who's there!" said Mirajane.
That was when all she knew was blackness.
Nami's home planet.
Nami couldn't stop crying… though considering her situation.
She was flying through the air.
Thanks to Bartholomew Kuma the Straw Hats were scattered, she knew everyone else was in the same situation flying to who knows where.
She opened her eyes and saw the air above her shimmer. Suddenly it was shape and resembled a foot.
"What…" said Nami.
That was when she suddenly found herself teleported and she was in a strange location.
"I thought you were going to get Nico Robin." Said a voice.
"I could not, if we had arrived sooner I would have been able to retrieve but with that pirate crew scattered like this we will have settle on out backup choice." Said a different voice.
"What?" asked Nami.
That was when she got a jolt and she black out.
That was when Nami came to.
"Where am." She said.
She noticed she was suddenly by plants life. She could also barely move however she moved some of the plants to see a window.
That was when she noticed in front of the window a women with her grey hair in a tight bun. On her forehead was a strange hexagonal shape ,she wore a grey dressed that sort of rambled something like a space suit.
"Oh you are awake." Said the woman, "That is a shame…"
At the same time, Mirajane came to and she was in a similar location at Nami, surrounded by plants.
She moved over to the window and saw a woman with red hair and dark skin, she wore baggy red pants and a brown tank top, on the space between her neck and chest was a red stone that was speckled and egg shaped.
"Oh man… you're awake." Said the woman, "Seriously… bad timing…"
Mirajane didn't know what was going on so she tried to do use Satan Soul, but suddenly she was electrocuted.
"What happened?" asked Mirajane.
"Sorry but if you tray to use any magic what so ever you get a shock, we can't have you escaping." Said the woman.
At the same time, Hinata woke up.
She got to the window as well and found a woman with light green skin, with green pigtails, she wore a short green tank top and a pair of green short shorts and on her stomached was a strange green pyramid.
"Oh man! You're awake! This is really, really bad!" said the woman.
Hinata wasn't sure what to do.
"Oh too bad, you're all awake…" said a voice.
Outsider of three chambers it was a single room.
In walked a woman with dark blue skin, wearing a skintight blue dress and her blue hair into a ponytail. On her left forearm, what a dark blue gem pentagon shaped gem.
"Sorry Maxixe." Said the green woman, "They woke up."
"It's all right…" said the blue woman named Maxixe, "I was hoping to spare them pain when they were converted, but it don't look like that will be."
"Get us out of here!" yelled Nami.
"Once you become our sisters you will" said Maxixe.
That was all three of them started to feel eminence pain as above the chambers strange liquid was pumped into it.
"It should be completed in five hours." Said the white woman.
"Good…" said Maxixe with a smirk, "Soon those planets will belong to the Gems."
Five hours later.
"Everything is complete." Said the white woman.
"Good open up the chambers." Said Maxixe.
The three chambers were opened, dust fell out of them revealing solid rock. Soon enough the rocks opened up and out of holes all three of them fell out.
Of three them were freaking out.
Nami looked at her skin, which was orange, and she noticed her tattoo was replaced by gem.
Mirajane was looking at her body as well .
Hinata stared at her hand, even though her body felt different she knew she could still use Chakra.
"Byakugan." she said wanting to see what she did.
She began to scream in shock.
Her body… she wasn't sure what it was… but it wasn't a real body that was for sure.
She deactivated the Byakugan and began to shake.
"What did you do to us?" asked Hinata.
"Sorry I could introduce myself sooner but my name is Maxixe." Said Maxixe, "This is my team, Danburite."
The white one nodded.
"Eudialyte." Said Maxixe.
The red one gave a small wave.
"And finally Amazonite." Said Maxixe.
"Oh you must have so many questions right now! But I'm so glad you can use the Byakugan! I mean that's like super important!" said the green one very quickly.
"She's new at this." Said Maxixe.
"That didn't answer her question!" said Mirajane managed to stand up, "What did you do to us."
"You three are the first subjects in Project Conversion." Said Maxixe.
"Project Conversion?" asked Mirajane.
"Yes that's right… thanks to it, Mirajane Strauss, Hinata Hyuga and Nami are all dead." Said Maxixe, "The dust that surrounds you what remains of your former selves."
"What?" asked Nami.
She found the clothes she was wearing earlier in the dust although it was brittle.
"Although that's not entirely true the dust also contains the plants the were in the chambers with you." Said Amazonite.
"You are now Milky Quartz, White Moonstone and Citrine." Said Maxixe, "And you are going to help us build Kindergartens on your home planets."
"What?" asked Nami.
"That is." Said Danburite, "While we can create more gems in chambers like this it take an enormous amount of life force…"
"Thousand of years ago we figure out that using this method we could turn humans and other sentient animals into Gems." Said Eudialyte.
"Come on join us sisters! The kindergarteners need to built! And your planets are perfect, you just have to help us weed out the riffraff." Maxixe
"What?" asked Nami.
"The three of you were chosen for your abilities of course had limits, they had to be female and in order to work at it's maximum, the subject must be between 15 and 30." Explained Maxixe.
"That only left so many candidates… but there were still quite a few." Said Eudialyte.
"White Moonstone, thanks to the Byakugan's capabilities you were chosen as your planets representative." explained Maxixe, "Out of all the Kekkai Genkai it's the best one we can get for this plan."
"I mean being able to see though walls and see really far away it was perfect!" said Amazonite.
"Milky Quartz, after deicing Fairy Tail should be the one, we were boringly going to choose Erza Scarlet, but then something wonderful happened. Freed tried to kill your former brother, you reawakened your Satan Soul and can call it upon on will. The Satan Soul is much more suitable to our goals than Reequip." Said Maxixe.
"And I think you might get a magic boost since your former sister "came back from the dead."" Said Eudialyte.
"And Citrine.…" said Maxixe, "Sorry to say but you were our secondary choice… we originally wanted your crewmate Nico Robin but thanks to you getting scattered we couldn't find her so we went with you instead, even though you don't have Devil Fruit powers you still lived thorough the buster call and that's the most important thing for us right now."
"I wish I made it sooner, you can still lead us against any and all Buster Calls…" said Danburite.
"The humans." Said Maxixe, "These planets have been labeled too dangerous to proceed at normal."
"So help us take out any ninjas, mages or any one from Citrine's planet that will try to stop us." Said Eudialyte.
"You think I'm just going to help you?" asked Mirajane.
"What?" asked Maxixe.
"You're trying to hurt the people I love!" said Mirajane.
"Why are you even fighting us?" asked Maxixe, "I mean we made you more, you're no longer filthy humans… you can live for millennia now… and you can…"
"SHUT UP!" yelled Nami standing up, "Just because my crew is enemies with the World Government dome's mean I'll help you."
"Reverse this now!" said Mirajane.
"Did you not understand your bodies were destroyed." sad Maxixe, "All of your memories and abilities were transferred to your gems… there's no going back!"
Mirajane gritted her teeth.
She was about to use Satan Soul.
"Danburite." Said Maxixe.
Danburite nodded, she projected a screen, she then pushed a button on the screen.
All three of them got a strange ethical charge that knocked them out.
"It looks like our new knock out weapon has been perfected so that's something to be proud of." Said Maxixe.
The three were placed into holding cells. Mirajane was the first to wake up. She noticed the strange energy hold her back that would hurt if she touched it. She tested by transforming into human self.
"So I use magic in here." Said Mirajane breathing a sigh of relief.
She began to knock on the wall.
"If only I knew what's on the other side." Said Mirajane.
When she was knocking on the wall Hinata had woken up.
"You want to see what's the others side?" asked Hinata.
"What?" asked Mirajane, "Wait didn't they say you can see through walls?"
"I can…" said Hinata, "You think you get us our of here?"
"Don't worry, I can." Said Mirajane.
"Byakugan!" said Hinata.
She looked t the other side of the wall.
"There's a hallway." said Hinata.
"All right!" said Mirajane.
"But she hasn't woken up yet." Said Hinata.
"Oh… okay…" said Mirajane.
"Wait… I'm up." Said Nami.
"Both of you need to duck." Said Mirajane.
Hinata and Nami both did in their respective cells.
That was when both of them felt an amazing power surging, following by a balk explosion.
"It's all clear." Said a voice that was very deep.
They got up to see Mirajane in her Satan Soul form.
"Don't worry." Said Mirajane with a smile, "I have compete control…"
Both Nami and Hinata nodded, right when the sirens started going on off.
"Looks like we have to run!" said Mirajane.
The three of them started running.
"Hinata…" said Mirajane.
"Yeah." Said Hinata.
"Nami…" said Mirajane.
"What?" asked Nami.
"Good we now know who is who." Said Mirajane.
"So you're Mirajane." Said Hinata.
Mirajane nodded.
"I don't think now's the best time to get to know each other." Said Nami.
That was when they were surrounded by an army of Gems.
"Looks like we have to fight our way our." Said Mirajane, "Can you do that?"
Hinata nodded and got into her stance.
"I don't know…" said Nami, "I use a weapon and I don't' have it on me."
"When you get the chance run." Said Mirajane.
"Fine…" sighed Nami.
"Hinata are you ready?" asked Mirajane.
Hinata nodded.
Nami tried to stay our of the way as Mirajane and Hinata ran to fight them.
Mirajane had it easy, using her Darkness Magic was something most of the Gems couldn't fight against.
Meanwhile Hinata was having a hard time fight them because they didn't' have Chakra network. However as she was, she realized something.
"I wonder if I hit that area." Said Hinata.
She slammed her palm against a Gem's hand where her gem was. That was when suddenly she retreated into her gem.
Hinata counted now aiming for the gems. The ones she were fighting were now getting worried.
"She's some kind of living Gem Destabilizer!" yelled one of the gems.
Nami noticed that the group Hinata was fighting was thinning out so she used this chance to run away.
"Thanks Hinata!" said Nami.
"Wait…" said Hinata.
However she was gone before.
"More are coming." Said Hinata.
"The Living Gem Destabilizer is distracted!" yelled a voice.
Meanwhile with Nami she continued to run soon enough she as being chased.
That was when a second group show up and blocked her path.
Nami froze.
"Oh no… I should have stayed with the others. "thought Nami, "If only I had the Clima-tact…"
That was when her Gem glowed and the pieces of her staff appeared.
"No way…" thought Nami.
"Oh just because you summoned your weapon doesn't mean you could beat us!" said one of the gems.
Nami sighed, realizing it wasn't the perfect Clima-tact.
}"Wait… this was created from me… maybe…"
She decided to do a test run, one of the poles had an electric ball on it, then began to spin it around.
She launched it at the group in front of her.
"Swing Arm!" she called out.
It hit one of them.
"So you have some moves! That won't stop all of us!" yelled one of the Gems.
"That was just a test." Said Nami.
Nami took a breath, "I don't know how much moisture there is, but it better work…"
She began to spin the poles creating the blue and red bubbles.
"What the heck are you doing!" yelled one of the gems.
However they didn't' notice the cloud forming.
She sent up Electric Ball, the large lighting storm took out many of the gems. She ran away once again as fast as she could. That was when she found a door and she hid in it.
The room she was in was an office or storage room of some kind. She saw a pile of wanted posters.
She looked through them.
"must be how they studied us." Said Nami.
She noticed a large piles of magazines.
She picked one up.
"Sorcerer's Weekly?" axed Nami confused.
She began to look through it she stopped when she got to the centerfold. It was of Mirajane.
"Wait… she's a swim suit model…" said Nami, her eyes twitched.
She looked through the other magazines, she even found Mirajane with a large group of people on the cover. Turns out there were short interviews with everyone on the cover.
Then she noticed the programs the Chunin exam, while she couldn't read it she recognized Hinata (even if her hair was darker as a human).
She looked around a bit more and saw a few magical items, books and other strange things including some gold coins.
"They stuff from out planets." Said Nami.
Among the things that were there was appeared to a big cloth, it was pretty but Nami realized what she could use it for. Who used it as something to carry all this stuff.
"Hopefully this will hold." Said Nami.
That was when she heard banging on the door. She readied her new clima-tact. She then opened the new door read to attack.
Thankfully it was Hinata and Mirajane.
"Sorry…" sad Nami.
"It's all right." sad Hinata.
They all left the room with Nami carrying make shift bag of everything she stole.
"What do you have?" asked Mirajane.
"Just some stuff I found." said Nami then she glared at her.
"What?" asked Mirajane.
"I'm not jealous at all." Said Nami.
"I have no idea what you're talking about." Said Mirajane.
They got to a room that had many strange contrast that resembled different body parts.
"What is this place?" asked Mirajane.
"I don't know." said Nami.
Hinata looked at them.
"I think they're ships." Said Hinata.
"Let's break in." said Nami.
"All right!" said Mirajane.
They defeated any and all guards to a ship shaped like a hand. They ran inside looking for any sort of helm. That was when they saw the control room.
"I think this might be their version of the helm." said Nami.
She took the seat.
"I'm a navigator so I'll handle this." Said Nami.
She place her hand in the control panel. Suddenly her eye became blurry and she entered a trance. Soon the ship started moving, busted out of the dock and sped off into space as fast as possible.
Once it was all done with Nami removed her hands.
"Oh okay?" asked Mirajane.
"Yeah, I'm fine… what a rush though." Said Nami, "I found out all sorts of information including the location of all of our planets… it will take a while, but I get to Hinata's first then yours Mirajane…"
"Thank you so much." Said Hinata.
Mirajane turned back to her… well humanism form and breathed a sigh of relief.
However their relief was short lived when Maxixe appeared on screen.
"Come back now!" yelled Maxixe, "Do you know how much I had to work on this! Project Conversion needs to be a success!"
"We don't care!" said Hinata.
"You tore us away from our homes! And we're going back!" said Nami.
Maxixe scrolled then started to laugh.
"Oh well… I can't have you going back to your home planet." Said Maxixe, "If I don't get a chance to reclaim you then there's a chance that they will start a wars on your planets."
"What?" asked Mirajane.
That was when three images appeared, one was the Village Hidden in the Leaves, one was Magnolia and the third was Cocoyashi Village, Nami's hometown.
"Mages, ninjas and pirates might be able to fend us off… but what about the civilians…" said Maxixe.
"What are you saying." Said Hinata.
"We will kill every single civilian in Magnolia, Leaf and all of Citrine's home island…" said Maxixe.
The three of them froze.
"We just need a good chunk of the planet alive… who cares about one city or in one case one island." Said Maxixe, "And if I get the okay I will find you… we have to just work out some of the kinks…"
With that Maxixe's message ended.
The three of them were sitting in silence as tears streamed down their face.
"I can't go back." Said Nami breaking the silence, "I worked to hard to save my hometown… I'm not going to let them die…"
Both Mirajane and Hinata were both quiet… neither one making their decision yet.
(End of Flashback)
The gems were shocked by this revelation… well Pearl, Amethyst and Steven, Garnet already knew.
"Myself and Hinata realized we couldn't let so many people die." Said Mirajane, "We decided to not to step foot on our planet until we knew it was safe."
"What did you did for three years?" asked Steven.
"We stayed a few steps ahead of Maxixe, she sent the message that she was going to reclaim us." Said Nami, "I learned a few things being the navigator to a notorious pirate so it helped. The only time when we left the Frost Fairy was when we stayed at Faunada for a few months."
"Faunada?" asked Steven realign it was that planet that Nami once mentioned.
"It's a Gem Controlled planet that's much more peaceful than most planets." Said Pearl.
"It's basically where the Gem Hippies live." Said Garnet.
"We only stayed there for a few months so that we can get things for the ship." Said Mirajane.
"Until we got here we haven't left the Frost Fairy since then." Said Nami.
"I really hope Maxixe doesn't get word we're here." Said Mirajane.
"If she does please help us fight." Said Hinata.
"Maybe we can get her to stop the threat." Said Steven, "That way you can go back home."
"Steven." Said Mirajane who began to ruffle his hair.
"Let's hope so." Said Nami.
Lapis had heard this of course and was staring at the celling contemplating their story.
"Also we need to talk about Lapis." Said Pearl.
"She need a place to stay, she can't go home remember." Said Steven.
"Yeah… but…" said Amethyst.
"She did lead Jasper and Peridot here." Said Pearl, "And drained the ocean."
"She drained the ocean?" asked Nami surprised.
"Long story." Said Steven.
"Since you're probably uncomfortable housing her she can live on the Forest Fairy." Said Mirajane.
Nami and Hinata both nodded in agreement.
"What? Seriously?" asked Pearl, "Didn't you hear what she said, she drained the ocean, that would have desorbed all life on earth!"
"We know." Said Nami.
The Crystal Gems were shocked, it was Amethyst who voiced her thoughts.
"Do you have any idea what's it's like to trust someone who tried to destroy your home." Said Amethyst.
There was an awkward silence.
"Hinata you should go first." Said Mirajane.
"Yeah, since they didn't join the Leaf." Said Nami.
"Okay…" said Hinata, "A few years my village was invaded by two enemy villages, the Village Hidden in the Sand and the Village Hidden in the Sound. Both of them desorbed a lot of the village. Three of them were the children if the Kazekage had a plan to destroy a much of it."
They all looked at Hinata.
"Something happen between them during the fight and after the invasion the Village Hidden in the Sand became close allies. They've helped out in our missions and we helped in theirs. In fact, three are very close to the Leaf Village." Said Hinata.
It was now Nami's turn.
"I never told you how Robin and Franky joined the crew." Said Nami, "You see we became enemas of a group called Baroque Works. Their goal was to take over the Kingdom of Alabasta…"
"Why would you care about a Kingdom?" asked Amethyst.
"We were asked the escort the Princess back home… long story." Said Nami, "Anyways they started a revolution, they caused so much destruction and misery. We managed to defeat them…"
"Robin or Franky was a member." Said Pearl, "Right?"
"Just Robin… and she wasn't just a member." Said Nami, "She was the second in command."
"What happened?" asked Steven.
"From what I heard, she tried to backstab her boss. He tired to kill her back Luffy saved her life. Because of that she joined." Said Nami.
"What about Franky?" asked Garnet who was interested in this.
"Well Franky was a leader of a gang." Said Nami, "we had recently came into some money, and his henchmen stole much of it, in the processes they beat up Usopp… Usopp tried to get back the money… but he was injured even worse. Because of that we became enemies of Franky."
"How did he join then?" asked Amethyst.
"Long story…" said Nami, "Let's just say he got into trouble with the law at the same time we did…"
It was now Mirajane's turn.
"We got into a war with the another guild called Phantom Lord, a member desorbed the guild hall and injured Team Shadow Gear. It was horrible and worst part it turned out to be a ploy, their true goal was kidnap Lucy. They did, but Natsu found out about and recued her." Said Mirajane, "After everything was done with Phantom Lord was disbanded and two of its member joined Fairy Tail."
"Jading from this order it's worse than Robin and Franky." Sighed Pearl.
"That's right." Laughed Mirajane then becoming serious, "Juvia was one of the two that kidnapped Lucy. And Gajeel… he was the one who disturbed the guild and injured Team Shadow Gear."
"What seriously!" yelled Amethyst.
"It's true." Said Mirajane, "Levy forgave him, in fact those two do seem to be attracted to each other… also both of them have proven themselves since they joined…"
Mirajane turned to Lapis.
"In fact Lapis reminds me a little of Juvia." Said Mirajane.
"Really?" asked Pearl.
"She has blue hair and controls water." Said Mirajane.
"Is that all right with you?" asked Hinata looking towards Steven's bed.
"It's fine." Sighed Lapis Lazuli.
"Although it's probably best if we let her rest here tonight." Said Nami.
Steven ran up to talk to Lapis Lazuli.
"You better be right about it." Said Pearl.
"I'm sure it will be fine." Said Mirajane.
Not only did they now their story, but Lapis Lazuli now had a new home.
But the truth was Maxixe was still out there hoping that she wouldn't come.
However she was coming… and she had plans that was something none of them would ever expect would happen… not for a long time…
Next Time: With Lapis Lazuli now living in the Forest Fairy they deiced to go shipping to make her room a home. Meanwhile Maxixe and her team arrives on earth to pick up Peridot and Jasper... what's their plan? Find out next time!
A/N: Okay... there is a theme to Maxixe and her team... I will give a cookie to whoever gets it! I'm sure at least one person will figure it out...
