Chapter 13: Can they be Reached?

The beach was eerily quiet. Everyone was getting ready to fight. Sakura placed her hands on her fore head then gloves appeared on her hands. Vivi place one of her ands by her gem as well when her weapon appeared. It was called a Peacock Slasher, basically a gem that she spun around her pinkie.

"Oh what's going to do?" asked Amethyst.

"You'll just have to wait and see." Said Vivi.

Amethyst aimed her whip at her, but Vivi managed to dodge and ran past Amethyst.

"Ow!" yelled Amethyst realized that Vivi hit her.

"This fight is only getting started." Said Vivi.

Nearby Sakura adjusted her gloved, she ran towards Garnet, but Garnet dodged however Sakura ended up sticking the near be cliff causing a huge crater in it.

Garnet realized that this fight was going to be much harder than expected.

Nearby Hinata and Tenten's fight was getting started.

"I'm surprised you're not the like the other two." Said Tenten.

"You know me better than that." Said Hinata.

Tenten reached at her Gem pulled out a scroll.

Hinata got ready as Tenten channel energy into the scroll creating a multitude of green weapon, Hinata began to dodge every single one of them.

Nearby, Robin just stood there and smirked.

That was when suddenly arms sprouted on Lapis' back and grabbed her arms.

"I guess my former crew mate didn't tell you about my Devil Fruit Powers." Said Robin.

"Devil Fruit powers?" asked Lapis having not been informed that much about Devil Fruits.

"That's right, when I was human child I ate the Flower Flower Fruit." Said Robin, "However it took away my ability to swim… which still effects me even though I'm no longer human."

"Wait…" said Lapis, "What happens if you fall into water?"

Robin's eye winded, that was when she remember what Lapis attacked with.

"Wait… can't you control…" said Robin.

"The water… yes." Said Lapis as a giant made of water emerged from the nearby ocean.

Lapis realized that this fight was going to be much easier than she realized.

Nearby Pearl and Erza were locked in the fight.

That was when Erza jumped back.

"Reuip!" said Erza switching out her sword for a spear.

"Let's fight on a little more equal terms." Said Erza.

The two continued to exchange blows.

Meanwhile Steven strengthened the bubble around him and Mirajane.

Lisanna began to attack the bubble fiercely.

"Stop this now Lisanna!" called out Steven.

"How do you know that name… oh Milky told you." Said Lisanna.

"Mira did tell me!" said Steven, "She told me all about how you and how she missed you so much!"

"If she misses me so much then she should give herself up!" said Lisanna, "Also my name isn't Lisanna any more it's Rock Quartz."

Lisanna jumped back a little.

"Animal Soul: Harpy!" she called out.

Her arms turned into wings and her legs turned into bird legs and began to swoop down at the bubble.

Danburite meanwhile was overseeing the fight between Steven and Lisanna.

"That' is interesting…" said Danburite.

"What is?" asked Amazonite.

"That boy… he is not Rose Quartz as Jasper thought…" said Danburite.

"Then what is he?" asked Eudialyte.

"I do not know what Rose Quartz did but that boy is a hybrid." Said Danburite, "He is half human."

"That's interesting." Said Maxixe.

"Wait… that means Rose Quartz…" said Amazonite, "Wait never mind I don't know how human reproduce."

"When should we tell her?" asked Eudialyte, "Because I even learned how humans reproduce."

"She doesn't need to know..." Said Maxixe.

"Or Sakura should tell her." Saied Danburite.

Both Maxixe and Eudialyte.

"What… she is not a Medical Nin?" asked Danburite.

With Sakura and Garnet's fight.

Sakura ran up to Garnet and tried to punch her, but Garnet blocked it with her own punch.

"You're very strong…" said Garnet.

"Tsunade taught me everything I know about Chakra Control." Said Sakura.

Garnet realized that Sakura's super strength had to do with Chakra.

Nearby with Amethyst and Vivi's fight, Amethyst managed to cut the Peacock slasher.

"That was easy." Said Amethyst, "That thing is so tiny too."

That was when Vivi put her hands by her jewel and that was when she created a much bigger version of her weapon.

"I should have started with this." Admitted Vivi.

Nearby Hinata was fighting with Tenten.

"Why aren't you like your new friends?" asked Tenten.

"I guess because I'm as close to you and Sakura as they are." Said Hinata.

"Seriously..." sighed Tenten who wasn't sure if she should be hurt by it.

"But also for another reason." Said Hinata, "I'm not going to run away and I won't ever go back on my word!"

Hinata tossed a kunai at her, then she ran towards. However Tenten dodged every attack that Hinata tried to do.

With Lapis and Robin, Robin dodged every watery attack form the giant.

There were even more water attacks as she dodged chains. That was when suddenly the giant dissolved.

Robin smirked.

"What's wrong?" asked Robin.

"I'm used to your fighting style now." said Lapis.

That was when Robin felt arms grabbed her. She was forced to turn around and saw a copy herself.

"He's really strong." Thought Robin.

With Steven and Mirajane eh couldn't to keep up the bubble.

"Mira! Please snap out of it!" said Steven.

Mirajane still didn't respond.

Back with Pearl and Erza fight. Erza once again jumped back.

"It's time to take the this seriously!" said Erza.

"You're not already?" asked Pearl.

"Reuip!" said Erza.

Instead of switching out her weapon this time her clothes changed, it switched to a different armor… the very same one she changed to into when they went to Rose's room. But with one major different, the one in Rose's room was silver, this one was red.

"You must be wondering about my armor." Said Erza, "I'm sure Milky told you enough."

"No she didn't." said Pearl, "But I have seen pictures."

This was a bit of a lie she wasn't going to tell about Rose's room after all.

"Oh see hen I converted I gained the ability to recreate all of my armors and weapons. Even if they were broken when I was converted… and they still have the same abilities."

"How many sets of armor do you have?" asked Pearl.

"I'm not going to tell you." Said Erza as more swords appeared.

Pearl summoned a second Spear. Her fight was much harder than she thought.

Back with Amethyst and Vivi's fight. The two weapons clashed.

That was when Vivi aimed an attack at Amethyst but missed.

"Sorry but…" said Amethyst but before she could gloat Vivi suddenly yelled out "Run Back!"

This of course hit Amethyst.

With Sakura and Garnet's fight, the two were exchanging super strong punches.

Not much to say about that one really.

With the fight between Tenten and Hinata.

"Give ups already Hinata!" said Tenten, "I know all abort the Gentle Fist from sparing with Neji!"

Hinata stared at Tenten.

"You know Neji's style." Said Hinata, "Not mine!"

"Is there a difference?" asked Tenten.

"There is!" said Hinata.

Tenten produced to all up a different scroll.

She sent out the weapons from it.

"Protecting Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms!" called out Hinata.

Tenten watched as Hinata used Chakra to block each and every weapon that was sent at her.

"How come Neji…" said Tenten.

"Because it's my own invention." Explained Hinata, "I never taught Neji."

Tenten's eyes winded.

Back with the fight between Lapis and Robin… well more like Robin and her water based duplicate.

Robin stood a breath and created many arms on out of the sand and used them to force the water clone into the ground and then used multiple hands to pound the clone into nothingness.

"Looks like it was easily defeated." Said Robin.

"I let it lose!" said Lapis.

"What?" asked Robin.

That was when she saw a pillar of water crashed down on her trapping her in it.

Nami numbly watched the fight going on, in-between Amethyst and Vivi and Lapis and Robin.

That was when she watched as Lapis summoned the pillar of water to trap. Robin.

This snapped Nami out of her BSOD.

"Robin!" shouted Nami.

She ran towards the fight before remembering as a Gem Robin didn't need to breathe anymore.

"Are you okay?" asked Lapis.

"I'm fine…" sighed Nami.

She watched as Robin struggle to move in the water. But it was clear she wasn't able to escape.

"Garnet knew about her Devil Fruit… didn't she?" asked Lapis.

Nami nodded, "Though she was more interested in Fairy Tail to be honest."

"I noticed." Sighed Lapis.

That was when Lapis awkwardly hugged Nami.

"Thanks…" said Nami.

"I'm not used to do this." Said Lapis.

"I noticed." Sighed Nami.

Maxixe sighed as she watched as Robin was trapped in the pillar of water.

"There was no way to removed the Devil Fruit's weakness." Said Danburite.

"I know…" muttered Maxixe, "They just had to recruit her…"

"They did get lucky." Said Amazonite.

Meanwhile Pearl managed to hit many of the swords away.

"You're a lot more skilled than I thought." Said Erza, "Reuip!"

That was when switched to another armor, this time with large bat like wings, also her hair was now in a ponytail.

She flew towards Pearl with her sword ready to attack, Pearl block the attack however she did find herself began pushed back a little.

"She's stronger than she was before." Thought Pearl.

Back with Steven protecting Mirajane. Lisanna decided to switch forms to that of a giant penguin and smashed into the bubble. IT sent the two flying and into a rock which shattered the bubble.

"Oh come on!" yelled Steven.

"Looks like you can't use your bubble too much longer." Said Lisanna as she switched back to the cat girl from. She was about to hit Mirajane but Steven got in-between them.

That was when she gem glowed and his shield appeared and it block Lisanna's attack.

The three ordinal Crystal Gems saw this. Of course none of them could acknowledge at the moments since they were in the middle of the fights.

However there were two that were able to.

"No way!" said Nami.

"What is it?" asked Lapis.

"Steven summoned his shield. He told me he can't do it." Said Nami.

"Looks like he was able to." Said Lapis.

Nami nodded.

Mirajane also came back to her senses she remembered hearing that while Steven had a shield, she couldn't easily summon it.

"Steven…" she whispered.

With the four Homeworld Gems.

"That is Rose Quartz's weapon… he must have inhibited." Explained Danburite.

"Really? That's interesting." Said Maxixe getting a look in her eye.

However Danburite was also interested in Steven but for a different reason.

Back with Steven protecting Mirajane. Lisanna began to attack the shield.

"Lisanna you have to stop this!" said Steven.

"My name is Rock Quartz!" yelled Lisanna.

Nami and Lapis realized something.

"We need to help Steven" said Lapis.

"Oh right!" said Nami.

Howsoever in a flash of light white a strange large humanoid robot blocked them.

"What is this thing?" asked Lapis.

"I don't know." Said Nami.

Nami summoned her staff and began to fight it.

The robot's arm turned to a sword. Which blocked Nami's staff.

Lapis realized that the Homeworld Gems sent the robot.

"Why did they do that?" thought Lapis.

Back with Steven he continued to black Lisanna's attacks and trying to talk her out.

"}Look what you're doing to her!" said Steven, "You have to stop this!"

"But she'll be so much happier when she accepts she's a gem!" said Lisanna.

She managed to push Steven back several feet that he went tumbling.

"Steven!" called out Mirajane.

He managed to get up though he stumbled for a bit. Steven held up his shield. He knew, he had to protect Mirajane.

"I'm sorry but you're getting in my way!" said Lisanna.

She was about to strike him.

"Stop this!" yelled Mirajane getting in between Lisanna and Steven. She held out arms wide, "Please stop this Lisanna!"

"Don't call me that!" yelled Lisanna.

"Lisanna… I know this will probably end up the last time we did something this… but I have to try." Said Mirajane as tears streamed down her tears.

Lisanna froze when she said that. Remembering what happened when Elfman worst control.

"Last time this happened… you got hurt… then you got sucked in the anima…" cried Mirajane, "I thought I lost you… then you came back and that was the happiest day in my life!"

Lisanna tried to move but she couldn't.

"Then I was taken by the Gems… and I because of Maxixe I couldn't go back home…" cried Mirajane, "And I thought I lost you a second time!"

That was when Lisanna suddenly changed out of her animal soul mode.

"How did that happen…" whispered Lisanna.

Maxixe saw what was going on.

"Danburite! What's going on?" asked Maxixe.

Danburite summoned a new screen that showed the data on Lisanna.

"The data does not know what is going on with Rock Quartz!" said Danburite.

"What!" yelled Maxixe.

Back with Mirajane.

"Lisanna… please… stop! I don't want to lose you a second time!" cried Mirajane.

"Mira…" whispered Lisanna.

That was when her gem started glowing black.

When this started the four Homeworld Gems started freaking.

"Danburite! What's going on!" yelled Maxixe knowing she was repeating herself.

Danburite's eyes winded.

"She is rejecting her programing!" explained Danburite.

"That's impossible!" yelled Maxixe, "How!"

"The data does not know!" said Danburite, "It does not know how she is able to break through it!"

The gem could countered to glow back until suddenly it shot out a black ball high into the air which soon disapparated.

The diamond on Lisanna's shirt disappeared replaced with the symbol of Fairy Tail. She then fell to the ground.

At the same time the robot completely vanished. So Nami was able to help.

"Lisanna!" cried Mirajane.

Both Steven and Nami ran towards Lisanna.

"Retreat now! That's an order!" yelled Maxixe, "And leave Rock Quartz behind! She is no longer one of us!"

Vivi, Tenten and Sakura all ran towards the foot ship. However Erza requiped in an armor that resembled a fish, she sliced through Lapis' water cage and managed to grabbed Robin.

When all of them were on the ship it vanished.

"That could have been a whole lot worse." Said Garnet breaking the tension.

"Couldn't you have least warned us!" yelled Nami, "You knew they did this! And you didn't warn us!"

"Stop!" yelled Hinata, "Now's not the time for this!"

"We should get Lisanna inside." Said Steven.

They brought Lisanna to Mirajane's room but she was still unconscious. Mirajane sat next to the bed looking like she was about to cry.

"We got a new some new future in one of the rooms." Said Nami.

"Let's go show you." Said Hinata.

They all left Mirajane's room expect for Steven and Garnet.

Garnet bent over and told Steven, "They need to be alone right now."

Steven nodded and the two left.

They went to the new room, which had a coffee table, a few chairs and a couch.

"This room is nice." Said Steven.

Nami and Hinata both sat down.

"Nami… Hinata are you alright?" asked Steven.

"There's a chance!" yelled Nami suddenly.

"What…" said Pearl.

"There's a chance we get reach them." Said Hinata knowing what Nami meant.

"If Lisanna could be reached then the others can too!" said Nami.

"Or it could be a fluke." Pointed out Garnet.

"Those tow are sisters who barley seen each other in like five years." Said Amethyst.

"Wait I thought you were only gone for three. Said Lapis.

"We were but two years before we were Lisanna "died"." Explained Nami using air quotes.

"It turns out she was just sent to another universe." Explained Steven.

"How did they get involve in another universe?" asked Pearl.

"something about an evil king trying to steal magic from this universe." Explained Steven.

"I see…" said Pearl.

Back in Mirajane's room, Lisanna finally woke up.

"What happened?" she asked.

That was when all of the memories came flooding back, of what she did.

Her eyes widened in shock.

She began to cry.

That was when Mirajane hugged her.

"Mira…" said Lisanna.

"It's okay… it's all Maxixe's fault!" said Mirajane, "You mustn't blame yourself… remember this isn't the first time something like this happened in our family."

The two sat in silence for a bit.

"Why didn't you go back home?" asked Lisanna.

"I guess Maxixe didn't tell you." Said Mirajane, "If I went back, Maxixe would destroy Magnolia… and I couldn't let that happen…"

Lisanna's eyes widened.

"It wasn't an easy choice." Sighed Mirajane.

"No I understand." Said Lisanna.

The two of them sat in silence.

"We left Elfman alone…" whispered Lisanna.

"I know…" said Mirajane.

"I can't believe it's been three years." Said Lisanna.

"They said you were in suspended animation." Said Mirajane.

Lisanna was quiet.

"What happened after I was taken?" asked Mirajane.

"After a couple days, Master announced her put the S-Class trials on hold until we could find you." Said Lisanna.

"I bet Natsu threw a fit didn't he?" asked Mirajane, "He was a shoe in for the trials that year."

"Surprisingly he didn't." said Lisanna, "He actually agreed with Master…"

She gave a bittersweet smile.

"Happy accused him of being an imposter." Laughed Lisanna, "The day after that we formed search parties, and while I was searching with Elfman… the next thing I remember was being under Maxixe's control."

Mirajane gave her another hug.

The two sat in silence.

"Mira… who is that boy who was protecting you?" asked Lisanna.

"His name is Steven and he's a half human half gem." Said Mirajane as she broke the hug, "I haven't known him long but he's one of those types of people."

Lisanna nodded knowing she meant.

"Nami started calling it The Luffy effect." Said Mirajane, "There's just something about him that you put all your trust and faith into him even though you haven't known him along."

Lisanna and nodded and both were silent for a few minutes. Once thing had calmed down.

"I should introduce you to everyone." Said Mirajane.

"Will they like me?" asked Lisanna.

"Of core they will." Said Mirajane.

Mirajane and Lisanna both went to the sitting room.

"Everyone, I'd like you meet my little sister Lisanna." Said Mirajane.

"It's nice to meet you." sad Lisanna.

"Nice to finally meet the real you!" said Steven, "And I don't' mean the brainwashed version."

"What?" asked Lisanna.

"We'll show you later." Said Steven.

"And hopefully it won't be another Happy glitch." Said Hinata.

"Although from what I heard you might end up liking the Happy glitch." Laughed Nami.

Lisanna looked confused but decided to go with it. Mirajane smiled at her younger sister then turned to Nami and Hinata.

"So girls you up for trying to reach the others?" asked Mirajane.

Nami and Hinata both nodded.

"All right I already came up with a plan to reach Erza!" said Mirajane, "As well as a Plan B. I just need strawberries."

"Why do you need strawberries?" asked Steven.

"You didn't snap did you?" asked Amethyst.

"Not all." Said Mirajane.

"IT makes sense if you knew certain things about Erza." Said Lisanna.

"But it's only a plan B." said Mirajane, "Do you think you can reach them too."

Hinata and Nami nodded.

"All right!" said Mirajane, "We will need everyone's help."

"All right! I know you guys can reach them!" said Steven.

"I'll help out." Said Amethyst, "Besides I want to fight the Princess again."

Garnet adjusted her sunglasses and nodded.

"I don't have much of a choice unless you guys want to push Robin into the ocean." Said Lapis.

"This is a really bad idea." Sighed Pearl.

"Oh come on what's the worse that can happen?" asked Steven.

"They'll get taken again and reprogramed." Said Pearl.

There was an awkward silence.

"Besides that." Said Steven.

"Don't worry it will be fine." Assured Lisanna, "I don't know the other girls very well, but I do know Erza and I know she can be reached too."

Pearl was going to say something, all she knew was that she heard from Mirajane.

"Fine… I'll help but at least be careful." Said Pearl, "For all we know they going to be able to straighten the programing."

Meanwhile on the Foot Ship Maximize and Danburite were talking in their control room.

"I am not able to strengthen their programing softly, if I do we risk their gemstones cracking." Explained Danburite.

"I see…" said Maxixe.

"Should we leave them alone?" asked Danburite.

"No way! I want my prototypes back as well as Rock Quartz!" said Maxixe.

"Very well." Said Danburite.

"Can you go get Amazonite and Eudialyte." Said Maxixe.

"I will." Said Danburite.

As Danburite left, she looked at her screens with data on Steven and Lisanna.

"She has proven my theory and he is an unexpected being…" said Danburite, she cracked a smirk, "I hope she is not the only one… if she is not I can finally prove my theory…"

With Lisanna no longer in Maxixe's control anything can happen now… but no one was truly if the other 5 can be reached. Of course that wasn't going to stop any of them for trying.

Next Time: They begin planning on trying to reach others. Meanwhile Maxixe's Team begins their own planning on trying different battle tactics. Which will work? Find out next time!
