Chapter 2:
The next day after the events of yesterday after Edwards performance at his new job in " Fish Stew Pizza ".
Later at their house Edward was pacing around back and fourth in a panic muttering " oh no oh no oh no " I was expecting to see the Crystal Gems listening to my song last night. What should I do? He said to himself in a tone of voice.
Then Omni out of nowhere said " Edward snap out of it and calm down the Crystal Gems might have caught a small glimpse of us but don't worry im still right here beside you buddy. Look on the bright side we now know what they look like so we don't have to ask around town drawing attention to ourselves right? In a assuring tone of voice. " Yeah I guess your right I shouldn't be so nervous about it especially since I have you with me " After saying this from listening to Omni's argument Edward had finally decided to calm down.
Afterwards Edward said calmly " Im just a little worried about finally meeting and speaking to the Crystal Gems properly especially since we know next to nothing about them other then their appearance's. Don't worry Edward because " homies help homies always " Omni responded. Thanks Omni im really thankful I have you around with me buddy said Edward.
No problem said Omni but we should really make a trip into town to buy some tools to finish up repairs on the house and some other supplies like food, clothes, meds only the bare necessities like those and treating ourselves every now and then. And don't forget we really need to thank Kiki and Jenny's family for showing us there hospitality and what small money they were able to spare for us since we did that advertisement for them thing for them at there restaurant ( fish stew pizza ).
At the same time Steven, Connie Garnet , Amethyst, and Pearl had left the temple together to begin conducting a search for the mysterious stranger which they later learned his name was Edward D. Limelight after speaking to Kiki and Jenny Pizza also learning from their parents interview of him after his trail period they gave him after he applied for a job there. Which was playing that song and telling him they needed some time to think it over about hiring him but he should have high hopes for it.
They mentioned to Steven and the gems that it was a sort of audition for the job of being hired to advertise ( fish stew pizza ) with music/songs to lure in customers. Also they said that Edward told them if you want to get into contact with him you just have to go straight to his home right outside of ( Beach City ) surrounded by trees and wilderness as far as they can see. With this newfound information Steven, Connie, and the gems went to go see Steven's dad Greg Universe to ask him if he could drive them to the new location. Before they left they were surprised to hear that Steven's dad had actually met this mystery boy who he said asked if he had any job opening's available.
Greg said that " He seemed like a nice kid just like you Steven and there was something familiar about him and Steven ( he couldn't place it though ) anyway I let him know I would definitely keep it in mind though what caught me off guard as he was leaving was that I saw a gem on his chest where your heart would be the thing is I couldn't tell what kind it was ". ( This conversation happened as they drove to his supposed home ).
During this Edward and Omni had already bought all of the tools the needed finish the house repairs including the bare necessities such as meds, food, and some furniture like a bed, couch, small kitchen table which Omni had teleported into his own seemingly infinite personal inventory which also stored Edward's guitar until they made it back home by riding Edward's keyblade glider.
After they made it back and settled back down after walking through the front door. Edward decided to make himself a small snack before finishing up the house repairs with Omni's help. After he was done eating Edward and Omni unloaded the tools, food, meds, etcetera in there respective places they quickly finished up fixing up their home they finally congratulated each other on a job well done. As they were celebrating they heard a loud singular roar somewhere outside within the tree line as they looked out one of the window's of their average sized home.
It happened so suddenly and out of nowhere that it made Edward jump to his feet and summon his weapon ready to fight at a moment's notice while Omni followed it up by saying in a surprised tone " woah what in the world is that? He asked. Edward responded by in a calm demeanor stating " that my dear friend was a corrupted gem my dad told me about he said mom told him they are gems that were hit by my mom's sister's Yellow, Blue, White Diamond's attack on earth after Pink Diamond's supposed shattering ( which was faked pink Diamond pretended to shatter herself and become her Crystal gem leader persona alongside her pearl with the hopes of her other sister's leaving earth it failed of course but not after in a fit of rage they attacked the earth themselves in their retreat back to homeworld it was intended to annihilate every rebel gem and any other gem unlucky to not get off the planet's surface yet but it failed and the byproduct of it was instead was corruption.
Corruption is sort of like tearing the fabric of his/her mind it makes most gems hostile and dangerous and behave similarly to wild animal's and depending on the severity of the damage it will effect that gems physical form making it more beast like. Also many of them will exhibit behavior's such as feeding and predation, despite not requiring things like food and water. However, much like regular gems, when their bodies a severely damaged, they explode into smoke, or "poof," leaving their gemstone ( the center of their being ) behind ". Then we can safely contain them in a bubble preventing them from regenerating. Also he said that they don't seem to be able to use their basic powers. Like being unable to summon their weapon's or to use their one of many modes of transportation ( Warp pads ) which allow you to teleport long distances with ease but if the gem is corrupted then they cannot use or enter gem structures, such as a door to a spaceship.
Anyway that's everything now are you ready to help poof and bubble that corrupted gem? Our top priority is to keep it away from the populace to protect the townspeople and secondary objective is to keep away from home base got it? Waiting for a response from Omni who said enthusiastically " heck yeah my guy don't you remember ( homies help homies always ) so yep I've got your back let's show this corrupted gem who's boss " Right is what Edward said in confirmation and with that they both headed towards the front door to go outside opening it to go outside as the sun shines through the doorway and they are getting ready for the fight ahead.
*How about that? I think this chapter I made is pretty good how about you? Im progressively getting better at this but could still use a Some work here and there. Any helpful feedback for making this greater and any questions you have is greatly appreciated.
