Disclaimer: I do not own anything, expect the OCs. This is just a story for fun.
On the Shard, Jasper was having a meeting with Aquamarine, Topaz, and Jack. The little group was discussing a plan to capture Lapis. Aquamarine was taking point and devising the plan based on what info Jasper had given her.
"Alright here is the plan. Will go down to the planet. Once were there Jack and Jasper will provide a distraction for the defenders, while Topaz and I shall locate Lapis and capture her. We know about her powers and the people Lapis cares about, so capturing her should be quit easy."
"And once I fuse with Lapis I'll be unstoppable! Atalanta and her forces will fall at my hands!" Declared Jasper with a clenched fist.
A little while later the group took Aquamarine's ship and headed down towards the Capitol. The ship landed in some woods outside the Capitol and the group got out. Jack went to work conjuring up a bunch of Creepers and made them attack the Capitol. Jasper and Jack joined in on the attack and Aquamarine and Topaz went about sneaking in the shadows looking for their prey. The defenders and the various heroes went about fighting the invaders and protection the Capitol. Jasper knocked down a group of Spartans with her crash helmet, when she came across Atalanta dressed in full battle armor. The two stared each other down.
"Ah if it ain't Queen Atalanta herself. Been a long time since, we last met and fought. You may have beaten me last time, but now I'm back for revenge. Beating you and conquering this planet is all I've thought about since I've broken out of the Citadel." Said Jasper.
"Jasper. I knew you would eventually make your way here to try and take revenge. My son also informed me about your little fight with him on Earth. Now your here and I will beat you and your allies for both his sake and my planet's sake." Said Atalanta pointing her sword at Jasper.
"Don't you dare look down on me! This time things are going to play out differently!" Declared Jasper as she leaped forward, shot her foot out, and kicked Atalanta's sword from her hand.
The sword flew a few yards away and clattered to the ground. Jasper then charged right at Atalanta with her crash helmet intending to smash her with it. Atalanta shot her hands up and grabbed the sides of the helmet with her hands stopping Jasper's charge. Jasper gritted her teeth in frustration as she pushed against Atalanta with all her might and actually managed to push the goddess a couple of feet before, she let out a grunt and tossed Jasper into the air. The villain let out a surprise angry yell as she flew high into the air. Atalanta leaped up into the air and delivered a punch to Jasper's gut sending her flying and smashing through the roof of a nearby building. Jasper let out an angry roar as she pulled herself from the wreckage of the building as a fiery aura surrounded her and she flew out at Atalanta with incredible speed. Atalanta managed to dodge Jasper's charge, though she did manage to lose a couple of hairs. Jasper twisted herself around and came back for another charge. Atalanta began to glow with a blue aura and she punched out at Jasper's crash helmet with her right fist. The blows met and there was a great shockwave that sent both fighters flying back a few yards. Both Atalanta and Jasper landed on their feet facing each other. Jasper had a few cracks on her helmet's visor and was breathing hard, while Atalanta seemed barely affected by all the fighting. This enraged Jasper greatly, who let out a angry yell as she charged at Atalanta and they continued fighting.
Elsewhere, Peridot, Lapis, Jeff, and Mimi were in the castle garden. They had been told to stay behind and that everyone else was dealing with the attack. Peridot was typing another log into her tablet, while Lapis used her powers on some water from a nearby fountain to put on a little show for Mimi and Jeff. Everything was well until a tiny shape flew down from the sky and hovered a few yards from the group. The newcomer was Aquamarine and she was sporting two tiny butterfly-like wings made of water.
"Found you Lapis." Said Aquamarine with a grin as she looked at Lapis.
"Um...who are you?" Asked Lapis.
"I'm Aquamarine and I'm here to capture you." Said Aquamarine.
"What for?" Asked Peridot.
"Oh a neutral acquaintances of ours wants you and your power." Said Aquamarine.
"Jasper." Said Peridot.
"Yes Jasper. She's very interested in acquiring Lapis, so she can fuse with her. I'm sure their fusion will be very interesting." Said Aquamarine.
"I'm not coming with you and I refuse to fuse with Jasper." Said Lapis with a glare.
"Oh your compliance isn't really going to an issue. You'll be coming with me no matter what." Said Aquamarine as she took her bow off and changed it into a wand.
Before Lapis and her friends could do anything, Aquamarine fired a couple beams of energy from her wand and zapped Mimi and Jeff freezing them in place. Topaz then jumped down from the castle wall and landed behind Peridot. The big gem picked Lapis up by her head and held her up.
"Let me go you clod!" Yelled Peridot as she waved her arms and legs in the aid helplessly.
"Peridot!" Yelled Lapis in fear at the sight of her captured friend.
"Now you see each of your little friends are out of the way and pose no threat to me or my large friend Topaz here. I could easily end them all in a matter of different ways, but I'm a reasonable being. Surrender yourself over to us and no harm will come to any of them. You have my word." Said Aquamarine.
Lapis studied Aquamarine and looked at each of her friends. They were helpless and their lives depended on her choice. There wasn't enough water for Lapis to use against Topaz and Aquamarine, so she had no choice, but to surrender.
"Alright I'll go with you." Said Lapis.
"Smart choice." Said Aquamarine.
Topaz dropped Peridot, walked over to Lapis, picked her up, and tucked her beneath her arm. Lapis gave Peridot a sad smile and Topaz began to scale the castle wall. Peridot screamed Lapis's name as she desperately looked for something metal to hurl at the villains, but there was nothing. Topaz reached the top of the wall and jumped off. Aquamarine gave a little wave before she flew off. Several minutes later Mimi and Jeff became unfrozen and were able to move, but by then Aquamarine and Topaz were too faraway to track.
Jasper was losing her fight with Atalanta and she knew it. No matter what kind of tactic or trick Jasper tried to play, Atalanta easily countered it with her great power. Jasper was starting to get angry and desperate, when Aquamarine flew onto the scene and gave Jasper a thumbs up signaling that Lapis had successfully been captured. Jasper grinned at the news as she faced Atalanta.
"I'll admit your strong Atalanta and your power surpasses mine, but soon I will become stronger then you can possibly imagine. The war between us is far from over!"
Jasper then picked up a large section of a fallen wall and threw it Atalanta. The goddess easily smashed the projectile to bits, but when she looked around Jasper was nowhere to be seen. Atalanta just clenched her fist before she went to help the other defenders deal with the Creepers.
On the outskirts of the Capitol, Jasper and Aquamarine were boarding Aquamarine's ship. Jack, Lapis, and Topaz were already on the ship. Topaz was at the controls and the ship took off. Jasper went over to Lapis, who had been thrown into a cell and grinned at her.
"You and I are going to have one hell of a time together."
Lapis just shivered at the words as the ship flew to Shard.
To be continued.
