Chapter 3: The Return of an Enemy
"I can't believe this!", said Connie. "A creature that can copy a person's ability."
"Yep Kirby is filled with all kinds of surprises! Isn't that right Kirby?", asked Bandana Dee. There was no response. "Uhh Kirby?"
"Where did he go?", asked Steven. Steven then heard a strange noise that sounded like a vacuum coming from the kitchen. "I think he's in the kitchen. I'll go check it out!" Steven headed into the kitchen only to find Kirby sucking up all the food from the fridge. "AHHH! Kirby noo!"
"Poyo!", said Kirby as he stopped.
"Whats going on here Stev….?", Connie was in shock on what happened to the kitchen.
"Yep that's Kirby for you he's got a big appetite!", stated Bandana Dee.
"I see. So anyways why are you guys here on Earth?", asked Connie. "Does it have to do with that black creature that possessed me?" Connie shook at the word possessed.
"I believe so, but I think Meta Knight might know the full story. Hey did you guys see where he went?"
"Now that you think of it I haven't seen him do you know where he went Kirby?", asked Steven. Kirby wasn't paying attention to Steven, and kept on eating a slice of pizza. "Is he always like?" But before Steven could finish his question Meta Knight came crashing through the window, with his mask cracked.
"Are you okay Meta Knight?", asked Steven. Meta Knight tried to speak but couldn't because Dark Matter had attacked him. "Dark Matter!" Steven put up his shield and got in front of Meta Knight, "Leave him alone!" Dark Matter ignored Steven and dashed right into a room.
"Steven isn't that the room where you keep all the corrupted gems at, what if it possesses one of them?!", asked Connie.
"Corrupted gems?", asked both Meta Knight and Bandana Dee.
"It's a long story, come on guys, you too Kirby!"
Kirby stopped munching on his pizza slice and followed Steven, Connie, Meta Knight, and Bandana Dee into the strange room.
"This room, it's impressive", said Meta Knight. "What is its purpose?"
"This is where me and the gems gather other gems that have been corrupted. The bubbles help contain them." Steven then saw Dark Matter near a bubble. "Oh No!"
"I'll handle this!" Meta Knight sprouted his wings and charged toward Dark Matter with full force. But missed and popped a bubble, causing a gem to fall on the ground. It was an orange yellowish looking gem.
"Oh no!", said Connie and Steven.
"Poyo?"
"What's wrong, is that thing dangerous?", asked Bandana Dee.
They all watched in fear as Dark Matter stared at the gem in curiosity. After Dark Matter finished inspecting the gem it entered inside the gem thus causing the gem to reform.
"OH NO!", said both Steven and Connie.
The gem turned into a freakish orange bluish beast. The beast also had spikes all over its body and as well as long white hair. And who could forget the sharp fangs it had (Also it was emitting dark aura).
"Jasper!", said a shocked Steven.
Jasper got up from her position and stared at Steven. "Garrrrrrggh!" Jasper rammed Steven into a nearby wall leaving a mark on his head.
"Steven!", yelled Connie and Bandana Dee.
"That's it! Time to silence this beast!", said Meta Knight. He swung his sword and hit Jasper with full power and knocked her outside the room and into the kitchen area. "Now time to finish you off!" But Before Meta Knight could deal the final blow, the whole house collapsed causing Meta Knight to miss.
"Oh my goodness! What happened here?!", said a voice.
"Poyo!"
"Dad!", yelled Steven. Steven, Connie, Bandana Dee, and Kirby then rushed toward Greg. "Dad, what are you doing here?"
"Well I came to see how you kids were doing and wait who's that touching me?" Greg felt Kirby touching him on his legs. "Uhh, is this a new gem champ?"
"I can explain later dad but we got a problem here!", he said.
"Uhh guys I think that Jasper thing is coming after us!", said Bandana Dee, while pointing to Jasper who was charging right for them.
"Wait that's Jasper?!", shouted Greg.
Kirby knew he had to do something so he started running toward Jasper.
"Kirby no!", said Meta Knight.
"Hiiiiiiiii!" Kirby was running toward Jasper with full speed and tired to suck up Jasper, however because Jasper was too heavy it was no use, Jasper used her teeth and grabbed Kirby and flunked him into a nearby wall. "Poy", said a bruised Kirby.
"Nooo! I won't let you hurt him!", yelled Steven. Steven ran up to Kirby while Jasper followed his every move. "Kirby, are you okay? Kirby? Kirby?" Jasper had knocked out Kirby.
"KIRBY!", screamed Meta Knight, Connie, and Bandana Dee.
Steven created a large shield that surrounded him and Kirby. "Go away Jasper, I'm not gonna hurt you!", he said. Jasper kept trying to break down the shield, but it was no use, however Steven was feeling weak. "Urrrgh"
"I'm going after Steven!", said Connie.
Greg pulled her back. "It's too dangerous Connie, you'll get hurt!", he said.
Each slash to the shield made Steven feel weaker. "I cant…" The shield disappeared allowing Jasper to finish him off. But before Jasper could land the final blow Kirby woke up and sucked Steven inside of him thus causing a huge explosion!
"Steven!", said Greg and Connie.
"Kirby!", said Meta Knight and Bandana Dee.
They were all scared that both Kirby and Steven had met a horrible fate, however when the smoke cleared something caught their attention!
"What!", asked Greg.
"The?!", asked Connie.
"Heck!", said Meta Knight.
"Is That?!", asked Bandana Dee.
The figure appeared to look like a more feminine version of Steven yet it was pink, and it had four arms two that looked like Stevens arms, and two arms that looked like Kirby's. It also had high heels that looked like Kirby's feet. The figure appeared to be wearing Steven's clothing too, and had long brown hair.
"Poyo everyone!", said the figure.
"What is that thing?", asked Meta Knight.
"Fusion, but how?", thought Connie.
"Wow this is awkward but I love it!", said the figure. "But what to call myself, I know Kirben!"
Jasper was looking at the new fusion which really pissed her off. "Arrgghh!" Jasper ran toward Kirben and was prepared to ram her into the wall.
"You know it's not nice to run at people sweetie.", she said. Kirben then took a deep breath and blew out strong air. The air was so strong that it blew Jasper right into a wall. "You need to respect people's privacy deary!"
"What is going on?", asked Meta Knight. "Did Steven and Kirby somehow manage to become one?"
"I think I know how. Since Kirby sucked up Steven he gained his gem powers so Kirby is technically part gem, which means he can fuse with Steven!"
"Makes sense now!", said Meta Knight.
Jasper got up from her position and grabbed a rock and tossed it toward Kirben.
"Tisk Tisk, Jasper you never learn!" Kirben opened up her mouth and started to inhale the rock chunks. Once she was finished she swallowed them, and began to transform. A small rock hat appeared on her head, with with tiny little devil horns. "Eat this you corrupted freak!" Kirben summoned two shields, but instead of them being pink they were rocky, and brown. She lifted her arms up and threw them at Jasper.
"Arrrrrghhh!", yelled Jasper.
"And time for the finale!", she said. She jumped high into the air and started to spin around in circles.
"What's she doing?", asked Greg.
"I have a feeling I know what's going to happen", said Meta Knight. "Look!" Meta Knight pointed at Stirby who was transforming into a giant stone statue of Steven and Kirby. The statue then dropped down at immense speed and landed on top of Jasper, thus causing another explosion.
"Kirben!", everyone yelled except for Meta Knight.
The sand dust cleared up, revealing a safe and sound Kirby and Steven along with Jasper's gem.
"Kirby that was amazing!", said Steven.
"Poyo!", said Kirby who was jumping up and down.
"Steven!", yelled Connie. "That was amazing you guys really pulled it off!" Connie ran up and hugged Steven.
"Yeah I was sure you guys would be done for!", said Greg. "But im confused… uhhhh why is her gem moving kiddo?"
Everyone turned around and saw Jasper's gem shaking and was turning a dark color.
"I think Dark Matter is trying to escape", said Meta Knight as he got out his sword. "Once it gets out I'll destroy it!" And with that Dark Matter escaped from Jaspers gem, however Dark Matter was not looking normal. It had spikes all over it's body and was no longer black but blue and Orange. "What the!" Meta Knight took a step back when Dark Matter started to enlarge in size. "Everyone run!"
Everyone obeyed Meta Knight's orders and hid behind a rock and watched Dark Matter explode.
"What the heck just happened!?", asked Greg.
"Somehow Dark matter must've gotten corrupted", said Steven. "But only gems can get corrupted."
"Dark matter is possibly the only other being that can get , what you call corrupted. You see since Dark Matter had full control of this Jasper person, he had access to her physical form, which mean it had all of her strength and abillit…" Meta Knight stopped his sentence and glanced at Jasper's gem which was starting to glow. "Huh?" The gem started to turn into a familiar figure to Steven, and Connie. Once the transformation was complete the figure then looked at the group.
"ROSE!", said the tall, bulky, striped, orange figure.
"Jasper, but how!", said Steven.
"So you thought you could beat me huh Rose, with your pathetic, fusion. You should be ashamed to even call yourself a Quartz!" Jasper slowly walked toward the group.
Steven then put up his shield. "Jasper, I don't want to hurt you, but if you don't calm down and let me explain, I will get Kirben!", he said trembling in fear.
"Kirben! So you're now fusing with these round abominations, this gives me more reasons to shatter your sorry ass!", she yelled. "You start a rebellion, you shatter Pink Diamond, you change that worthless Peridot, you fuse with humans, and now you fuse with what the hell even is that thing?!"
"I told you I didn't shatter anyone, shattering is wrong! I won't make the same mistake my mom did!", he yelled while shedding a tear.
Greg, Kirby, Meta Knight, and Bandana Dee all had confused looks on their faces.
"ENOUGH LIES ROSE QUARTZ!", she yelled. "I'M GOING TO FIRST, KILL THESE ROUND ABOMINATIONS, KILL YOUR LOVED ONES, AND SHATTER YOU, AND BRING YOUR REMAINS TO YELLOW DIAMOND!" Jasper ran head fast for Bandana Dee who had a scared look on his face.
"Oh no!", he said.
Kirby didn't want to see one of his friends get hurt, he jumped in front of bandana dee and started to inhale. However he made no progress on sucking up Jasper.
But as if it was a stroke of luck the ground started to shake, which caused Jasper to trip and fall down.
"What's going on?", asked Steven.
The ground continued to shake until a portal appeared, and out came a shiny piece of fruit. Kirby immediately took action and sucked up the fruit and turned multi colored.
"HYPERNOVA KIRBY!", yelled Meta Knight and Bandana Dee.
Greg, Connie, and Steven watched in shock as Kirby opened his mouth.
"What the!", yelled Jasper. Jasper was being pulled toward Kirby's mouth. "No I won't be defeated like this!" She grabbed the nearest boulder, and threw it at Kirby, but the boulder when inside his mouth. "Damn it Rooooooooosssssse!" Jasper flew right into the depths of Kirby's mouth, and everyone just stood there speechless except Meta Knight, and Bandana Dee.
Well a lot went down in this chapter, Jasper returned, a new fusion appeared and Hypernova Kirby! Sorry if this is a short chapter, anyways is Jasper gone forever or will she come back? Find out next time on the rule of darkness.
