User:BejittoBlue/Allies to Humanity Fugitives to Homeworld: The Defective Gems

Steven Universe “Allies of Humanity, Fugitives of Homeworld: The Defective Gems” Chapter 1: The Beginning of the End “Is there anything worth more than peace and love in the planet earth?” Run. That’s all one sole Pearl wanted to do, just run, find a ship, hopefully has a pilot on board, she didn’t care what type of gem it was, and escape before a sudden fate worse than being shattered would bring. The Pearl herself was blue, her hair was triangular and sky blue, her eyes were light blue, as blue as the earth her nose was long and pointy. Her gem placement was on the chest, just below the neck it was a pearl with a blue sheen over it, her attire was simple but elegant and full of many shades of blue, she had a basic sleeveless top with the upper half being blue and the lower half being a lighter shade with a diamond in the center and wore a small blue skirt below with shorts underneath as well as long dark blue stockings and finally she had long light blue slip-on ballet flats. Finally she stumbled upon a small gem cruiser ship, a basic circular ship that was used to transport troops. She ran inside and saw a male-looking green Peridot its hair was pointed upward and it was pale chartreuse, its eyes were shaded emerald and wore a pair of aviator goggles, the gemstone is located on the chest and is shaped like an inverted triangle with flattened corners. “Hey! We gotta get out of here right now!” the Pearl ordered the Peridot. “Wait, what about the rest of my platoon?!” asked the Peridot, oddly enough it spoke with a voice of a male. “Listen there's no time to explain!” the blue Pearl yelled back, panic filling her voice, “You have to fly us out of here!” Seeing that the Peridot was even more confused, the Pearl took matters into her own hands, rushing forward, she ran up to the main console that controlled the ship, knocking down the limb-enhanced Peridot. In a matter of seconds of pushing buttons the ship took off from the battlefield and up into a planetary orbit. Suddenly a light flashed behind them but they were just out of reach from the light’s initial radius. The two nameless gems watched in shock as the light consumed the planet. When the light faded, the Peridot ran forward towards another console and pushed a button which brought up a holographic screen that showed what happened on earth. What he saw gave him a look of horror. All gems, both rebels and allies of homeworld turned into what looked like savage beasts ranging from four-legged beasts, to giant snake-like beings. “They're beyond our help now I don't think there's gonna be a way to save them,” the Pearl said her voice filled with sorrow, “Hey you know we just did desertion so that means we're traitors to homeworld” Pearl added. The male Peridot began to panic and replied back to the Pearl “Then what are we supposed to do now?!” Pearl not knowing that her future is now intertwined with this Peridot just stares at the floor and decides to strike up a small conversation, “ First thing’s first, what's your name? And I'm sorry about earlier! I just panicked and realized what was about to happen so I just ran to the nearest ship and well you know...” Looking at the Pearl for a minute in confusion before finally replying in a nonchalant tone “Well if it wasn’t obvious… I'm a Peridot but my platoon usually calls me ‘Clod’ or some other insult.” The Pearl looked at the male Peridot in confusion before deciding to let it slide...for now, and replied back, “Well I’m a Pearl! I know it all came so suddenly and I don't exactly feel too happy myself but hey I just saved our lives!” “Yea but in turn your sudden stunt fried the ships circuits, we’re stuck in orbit!” the male Peridot exclaimed in annoyance. The sudden sounds of ships flying by caught the two gems attention. Running to the nearest window in the giant cockpit, they saw the armada of Homeworld ships flee the planet, at a certain distance, it looked like space itself distorted around them as they suddenly sped off in an orb of light. Afterwards the entire home world fleet left the earth and the two gems were left behind floating aimlessly in orbit. A few hours had passed and the two were just sitting there inside the ship wondering what will they do. Pearl then stands up and says to Peridot, “ okay so I know we can't go back home and we're now considered fugitives, I think floating around here in space isn't safe so let's head to this planets moon.” The two gems head towards the moon and from there they notice a base. They investigate the base inside and are stunned to see the beautiful murals of each of the diamonds. The gems follow the stairs to the top and as they walk slowly to the command room Peridot talks to Pearl first, “ Hey um… Pearl right? I was just wondering why you haven't laughed at or chastised me yet because you see most other gems would have laughed at me and called me names for the way I looked, I mean don't get me wrong I'm use to all that nonsense but you haven't said anything yet.” Pearl looks at Peridot in confusion and replies saying “ Peridot I really don't get why other gems would say that stuff I mean you look completely perfectly fine! It doesn't matter what other gems about you on the outside what matters is who you are in the inside. I know, it must sound funny that me a Pearl, some gems property is giving you the pep talk but that's what I believe okay!” After that short exchange the two gems have come to respect each other and enter the command room. Peridot uses his limb enhancers on the keyboard and projects on the monitor what home world’s plan for earth was. “They were going to build so many colonies and kindergartens on this planet?” Pearl said, “ I don't understand why they would do that this planet is called earth and what really drives me crazy is why they tried corrupted all of us and our friends including their own gems…. That just tears me up!!” Pearl begins to get emotionally upset and out in frustration slams her hand over the room which leaves a dent on the wall. “We are all gems and we shouldn't deserve this! Nobody deserves this!” Pearl yelled out. Peridot tells Pearl to calm down and suggest they both go back to earth since they've got nowhere else to go. “Pearl! Calm down! Listen I know you got really torn upped about what homeworld did, but we can't just stand around here getting all messed up about it!” Pearl in silence replies back with tears in her eyes. “ I know what we're going to do. We're going to go back to earth and defend it because that planet doesn't deserve what homeworld will do it! Nothing deserves that!!” Finally after the two gems agree to align with humanity and disregard their allegiance with homeworld they exit the moon base and fly towards earth. This begins their incredible journey and new found lives on earth as “The Defective Gems” Chapter 2: The Intimidating Jasper “Fighting is my life, it's where I fight my heart out, it's what I was made for!!” It has been thousands of years since the end of the gem war and both Pearl and Peridot have chosen to remain on earth and keep it safe from any harm while remaining undetected from any humans that wish to interact with them. The two gems have learned a lot about this planet and are still learning something new everyday. Pearl sets outs on missions by herself or occasionally with Peridot to either contain monsters, retrieve artifacts, patrol the planet, or save citizens in danger. She has been doing these missions for thousands of years now and today in the present timeline, it was no different. Today's mission is to head towards the woods in a nearby small town where there has been corrupted gem activity lurking in the forest causing harm. “Alright!! Today's mission should be a piece of cake, okay so I just have to contain a corrupted gem so it doesn't do any harm to the humans that inhabit that area.” Pearl said to herself as excited as she was. She was about to head to a warp pad but before she did she then quickly wanted to check in on Peridot. “Hey Peri! I'm leaving for another mission but I'll be back, do you need anything?” “No, not really just be careful out there Pearl. Wouldn't want you to get poofed now would we?” Peridot says jokingly. “Heh, very funny Peri! I can handle myself out there after all…. I can always count my weapon!!” Pearl replied saying. She then summoned out her weapon through her glowing gem located on her chest. From Pearl’s gem came out a long staff with two diamonds located on the top and bottom of it, the top diamond on the staff then formed and manifested to a long curved shaped blade capable of cutting almost anything down to size. Her weapon, a long bright blue scythe. Pearl then let out some swings in the air cutting the wind in two just to prove a point. “Hah! You see Peri, I was just trying to prove a point cause after all I am the leader of our team The Defective Gems!! Okay then, I'm off.” Pearl said to Peridot in a serious tone. Pearl headed out to the warp pad and waved goodbye to her friend Peridot. The warp pad glowed and then zapped Pearl through a beam of light to her destination. Finally a beam of light came from the sky and shot down Pearl to the other warp pad located at a hill. She then got her thoughts together and looked around to find a giant field and a small town located towards the right along with the forest located towards the left. “Hmmm okay I'll just head towards the forest because that's where it's located. I have to be careful though, who knows what kind of corrupted gem it is, hope it's not too big.” Pearl said to herself and made way to the woods alone. A few hours had passed and Pearl was in the woods searching for the corrupted monster. “Where is that thing! I was sure it was around here somewhere!!” Pearl yelled out in the woods as her cry echoed through each tree. “Well I guess I can head back since it was a false alar-” Just then a ferocious wild wolf leaped out and pounced on Pearl slamming her to the ground. Pearl quickly summoned her weapon and blocked the wild beasts mouth from biting on to her face with the handle of her weapon. The animal was an abnormal sized wolf with blue fur and a gemstone on its forehead. The gemstone was shaped like a tear and was also blue. Pearl was struggling and began to lose her strength as the struggle was too much for her. She let her guard down and just before the wild corrupted gem could sink its sharp razor fangs into Pearl out of nowhere a fairly tall orange woman who was dressed in leather armor rammed the corrupted gem away from Pearl and slammed it towards a tree. Pearl in shock got back up and saw that the corrupted gem was dazed to where she looked at the orange lady and yelled at her saying “Hey!! What do you think you're doing!? Get out of here! It's not safe for a human like you to stay here!!” Said Pearl in a panicked voice, The orange prepared-for-battle lady quickly looked over to Pearl and rudely replied back saying “Yeah whatever, I saw you left yourself way too open so I’ll handle things from here.” Pearl with a very surprised looked at the lady in shock quickly saying “Excuse me!? Why the nerve!! Where are your manners!” Just then the corrupted gem regained its composure and saw Pearl arguing at a tall lady that had an annoyed look on her face. Then the mysterious girl ignored Pearl and looked over at the corrupted gem and summoned her weapons. They were two spiked wolverine like claws that appeared over both her arms. She was no human at all, Pearl realized! The two then charged forward and attacked the corrupted gem with both their sharp weapons. Pearl leaped back and saw the mysterious girl had jumped way too abnormally high for a human and then landed right on the corrupted gem with a fierce kick towards the body. It fell on the floor and then Pearl watched as the stranger gave a brutal beat down towards the monster incapacitating it with blow after blow after blow. The stranger finally finished things as she stabbed it with her claws leaving a fatal blow towards it, thus causing it to poof and loose its form becoming just a gem itself. She then looked a bit tense and was about to grab the gem off the floor but just before she could Pearl grabbed her arm. Pearl then said “That's enough! You were too violent with that corrupted gem and almost shattered it! Now I have some questions first! But before all that I'm going to send it home.” “Home?” The stranger replied Pearl then said to her “Just watch” she then carefully picked up the gem with both hands and formed a bubble around the gem. She made a bright sky blue bubble over the gem and then placed her hand on top of the bubble and sent it home as the bubble vanished. Pearl then looked at the stranger and asked her “Who are you? What's your name? How are you able to do all that stuff? Because to summon a weapon out of thin air…” The stranger replied saying “My name's Diana” Pearl with a confused look on her face looked at Diana and said “Hold the phone that can't be because that's just an earth name and frankly you don't look anything like a human! I mean you're super tall and your skin!” Pearl examined Diana and saw she was none other than a Jasper. Jasper was orange and red, her hair was very big and messy as it looked very long and little to no care was taken for her hair, it has a rather beige color to it as well, her eyes were yellow and had a vicious look to them, her nose was simple and small, it is hard to make out but her gem placement is located at her chest but more towards the center of her body, it was a jasper with red and orange clashing colors over it, her attire is rather rough and intimidating, she had shoulder pads on both sides and she was sleeveless with leather armor over the top half, she wore leather armored shorts as well all with scratches and torn damages over them as if its easily visible she has violent crude history behind her of many battles, she was bare foot with just some leather straps over the heels and towards her knee, she also wore sports tape wrapped all over her hands and wrist, her skin was orange with red stripes or slashes over her face, arms, legs, and stomach, her physical appearance is tall, thick, and mostly muscular, a true force of nature not to be reckoned with. Jasper is a jasper after all they're fierce warrior gems, they are quartz soldiers who fight in the front lines and live for battle which makes them ready for war. “Hmp!! What's your deal are you just gonna stare all day or what!!” Jasper said to Pearl all annoyed and then Pearl in utter shock made her eyes widen and then took a deep breath and said to jasper, “YOU’RE A GEM!?!?!?” Chapter 3: Come on and join Jasper! Pearl’s invitation to The Defective Gems. “You would do great in our team! There's not that many of us left…” Jasper and Pearl have settled things with the corrupted gem and now after Pearls accusation towards Jasper, Jasper looks at Pearl with a confused look on her face and then smirks at Pearl. “Oh so you think I'm a gem right? Heh, why thank you.” Jasper sarcastically replied “What?!?” Pearl said to Jasper with a most frustrating face. “It's supposed to be a compliment…” Jasper said to Pearl where she then immediately yelled back “I know what a compliment is!! You just don't seem to understand what a gem is!!” Pearl then sighed and looked at Jasper again “Okay I think we got off the wrong foot but listen to me! You're a gem there's no mistaking it! I mean just look at you! Your over six feet tall…. You have an abnormal skin color that no humans have… You can summon a weapon out of thin air!! I know a gem when I see one and you're a gem! I don't believe this, how can there be another gem out here??? Last I checked it was just myself and peri! Now here I am talking to another normal none corrupted gem!” As Pearl said this to Jasper, Jasper was just scratching her head in boredom and then she began to turn around and walk away from Pearl. “Hey! Where do you think your going missy!? The point I was getting to is would you like to join the Defective Gems? It consist of myself and Peri! So how about it? Don't you want to protect this planet and go out on missions protecting humanity from magic and monsters?” Jasper then looked at Pearl and replied to her saying “Yeah no thanks, not interested in your little club.” Jasper was continuing to head out of the woods but as she turned back she noticed Pearl still following her “ Get lost already! I work and fight alone so I don't need any help from the likes of you Pearl.” Pearl replied back to Jasper saying “ Yeah well I'm not leaving until you say yes! Besides as much as I wouldn't admit it you saved me back there! We also made a pretty great team so I'm going to convince you to join one way or another Jasper!” Jasper then continued to ignore Pearl and made her way home. “ All this gem stuff is none of my business so I could care a lot less. I don't care what happens to you or your little club. I just do what I want and what I think is right.” Pearl then watches Jasper walk away and then pulls out a walkie talkie. “ Hey Peri its Pearl over!” Peridot responds from the walkie talkie “ What's the matter Pearl? Over.” Pearl replies to say “ Well I think we've found a new addition to the team and I'm not heading back home until I convince our new friend to join!” Pearl said out loud to Jasper “Hmp.. you'll have to do a better job than that if you're going to convince me besides I already warned you Pearl… keep following me and I'll just throw you away.” Pearl hangs up from the walkie talkie and glares at Jasper “Ha! Make me then! And I already told you I'm not leaving until you join!” Jasper says to herself “Good grief.. just gimme a break already… I don't have time for this...” Jasper heads back to the small town as that is where she lives for who knows how long. Pearl however is still following Jasper into town and Jasper at this point ignores Pearl and pretends she is not there. All the people in town know Jasper however as she is easily recognizable and call her Diana. The people greet Jasper asking her if she took care of the trouble in the forest. “So Diana did you take care of the problem in the woods by any chance? It took you longer than expected..” Person A asked. Jasper replied “ Yeah I took care of it like I always do! Come on I'd never let anything bad happen to my home.” Pearl takes mental notes as she observes Jasper interacting with all these humans like it's no big deal for a gem talking to a human. “Hey Diana who's your friend over there?” Person B asked, “Huh? My friend?” Jasper questioned. Person B stated, “Well sure! I mean it looks like she's been following you since you got here.” Jasper looks behind herself to see Pearl standing around acting as if she's minding her business. “Oh… that's just umm nothing to worry about! She's probably lost or something! She's not my friend. Plus I don't know her and have never met her before.” Pearl then yells out at Jasper and at Person B “Hey!? She totally knows me! I helped her take out that corrupted gem and your welcome human!!” Person B then looks at Jasper “ What's she talking about? Also, what's a corrupted gem?” Jasper quickly responds by “ Don't worry about that! She doesn't know what she's talking about! “ As Jasper finishes her thought she then walked down the street some more and noticed Pearl was still on her tail. “So… what do you call this base of operations….?” Pearl asked Jasper, “ Uh base of operations? This is Lake City. I live here and always have.” Jasper said back. Pearl looked around at all the buildings and humans interacting in their daily lives and saw Jasper waving hello to most of them. “ This is just so unprecedented, how could a gem be living with all of these humans? I mean don't they know she is a gem? That she's not of this world? It's as if everyone is treating her like a human!” Pearl said to herself. The two Gems then heard out a cry from a human and saw multiple people running past them. They were both concerned and asked one of them what was going on. “Hey what's the matter? What's going on?” Jasper asked a human. “You gotta get somewhere safe! There's some kind of monster in the lake! It's destroying all the buildings around it and people are getting hurt! There was some kid throwing rocks in the lake and then he got attacked by it!” Jasper then with a worried face said “ What!? Dang don't tell me it was Pinich! That dumb kid has to stay out of trouble! Okay! I'm on my way!” Pearl stopped Jasper and quickly said “Hold it! That can't be no ordinary monster it's another corrupted gem. I'm going to help you Jasper and we're going to save that human as well. Whoever it is I can tell that human must be important to you so if we contain this corrupted gem and save him then you're going to join our team got it?” Jasper looks down and takes a deep breath to reply with uncertainty “ Alright fine… I'll do it! I'll join your stupid team if we can save Pinich!” Pearl then nods and both Jasper and Pearl run down the streets of Lake City to the Cities main lake. The two Gems both arrive and see a large storm over the lake with a child hanging on a tree. The child is trying to gain higher ground from the monster as it creates big waves across the lake. The corrupted gem is rather extra large with many tentacles and appears to be like a kraken of sorts. It has a rather jade like color with its gem located around the back of the creature. The child Pinich is crying out for help as the corrupted gem swims around it. Pinich cried out “Help!! Somebody!! Anybody!! I just saw that thing swimming around and thought it was hungry!! I...I want my mommy!” Jasper then yells out to Pinich “Hold on! We're going to get you out of there!” Pinich looks over and sees Jasper and Pearl on the shore. Pearl looks over to Jasper and quickly tells her “Okay you go get that human and I'll keep the corrupted gem busy!!” Jasper immediately replies to Pearl with “ Fine! Whatever! “ The two Gems spring into action as Pearl first summons out her scythe once again and leaps high into the air to get the corrupted gems attention. The corrupted gem sees Pearl and lets out a roar for intimidation and shoots out its long tentacles at Pear. Pearl quickly makes her fast doges in the air as she ducks underneath one tentacle then she dodges another one and slides over one more tentacle all while falling towards the lake trying to land on the corrupted gem. As this happens Jasper then leaps towards Pinich and crushes any falling debris in her way first with her hands and then with her claw like weapons. Jasper then caught up to Pinich and quickly grabbed him. “Hold on tight I have to get you safely away from the lake!” Pinich then with just tears in his eyes nods quickly and holds on to Jasper. Jasper looks over and sees Pearl handling herself with the creature. Pearl then sees where the gem is located on the creature and stabs her scythe on one of its tendrils to slide in towards the gem. “I'm not going to let you go easy! How dare you do this to the people of this planet!” Pearl said as she is sliding towards the corrupted gem. Jasper then landed back on the shore and dropped Pinich off “Alright we'll talk about this later right now just beat it and let me handle this!” Pinich then looked over at Jasper and said “O-okay! Thanks for saving me Diana!” Jasper then heads back into the lake and sees Pearl slashing the corrupted gem a few times on all parts of it. Jasper then grabbed the beast by the tentacles and held it down “ I don't know what your deal is but you can't go and just hurt innocent people!” Jasper yelled at the beast. Then the corrupted gem wrapped its tendrils around both Pearl and Jasper and threw them both up in the air along with piles of debri. Pearl with quick thinking yelled over at Jasper “ Jasper!! It's weakness is the gem!! We just have to strike it down on the gem!!” The two gems then crushed and chopped in half all the debri that was thrown at them and Jasper said to Pearl “ Shut up!” Jasper then was diving down at the corrupted gem with her fists and Pearl was letting out a kick and then both of the gems landed two heavy blows at the corrupted gem causing it to cry out in pain and then poof due to its physical form sustaining too much damage. A giant splash of water also preceded after this because of Jasper and Pearls heavy attack. As the lake begins to calm down Pearl holds up the gem of the corrupted monster and bubbles it to send it back home. “Ha. Wow I didn't expect there. To be two corrupted gems. In one day. That's just strange… why would there be so many corrupted gem activity… Something is off… But we'll deal with that later!” Pearl and Jasper both get to shore and Pearl clears her throat looking at Jasper. “Ahem! I think it's time for your part of the deal Jasper.” As Pearl lets her hand out to Jasper, Jasper then groans and says “Ugh alright... alright... I accept, I'll join your team…” Jasper reluctantly holds Pearls hand and shakes it. Pearl then smiles at Jasper with a grinning face “ Excellent!! I knew you'd come around Jasper! You are going to do great in our team! There really just isn't that many of us left.. But just wait until you meet Peridot he's great! He is super nice and super smart! So I think you'll like him! I just hope he doesn't mind I brought a new friend/member to the team…” Jasper then looks away and grunts “Hmp.. yeah whatever I'm sure it'll all be oh so dandy. Lets just head to my place first so I can get my stuff since I'm joining your team and I'll be staying at wherever you guys live....” Pearl then asks Jasper to lead the way. With a new member to the team Jasper will surely accomplish a lot with them. She did not know this yet but she is now forever going to be apart of their lives as they will to her. Jasper will now be intertwined to Pearl and Peridot. She does not know what joining the team will mean for her or for her future but now nothing will be the same for Jasper. Will she warm up to them? Or will Jasper drive them away and leave the team? Does she have any other ulterior motives? This is the newest member of The Defective Gems. Chapter 4: The intelligent and humble Gem, Peridot! “ Hello! It's a pleasure to meet you! Sorry about earlier, I hope I can learn something from you. “ Pearl and Jasper head to Jasper's place in Lake city where Jasper will pack her belongings as she will stay with Pearl and Peridot for an unspecified amount of time. Jasper then ask Pearl as they both head over to Jasper's place, “Hey so do you know how long am I staying? A day, a week, a month?” Pearl then laughs at Jasper and replied “ Ha! Oh lets say forever or at least until the earth is safe forever!!” Jasper then looked at Pearl and questioned her “ Wait seriously??” Then Pearl playfully punched Jasper's arm “I'm just teasing you Jasper! But definitely until we get the job done! So get what you need pretty much!” The two Gems then finally arrived at Jasper's place which was a simple small house full of all sorts of things. “So… this is your place… I mean it's pretty simple but it's just really messy!! You should really tighty up Jasper because a room says a lot about you!” Jasper then tells Pearl “Yeah yeah sure whatever you say Pearl, what are you my mom?” Pearl laughs and says back to Jasper “Oh come on you must know Gems don't have parents or anything like that! Honestly the type of gemstone that you are is a quartz so you just popped right off the ground and automatically knew what to do. Pearl looks around Jasper room and sees posters of various bands and musicians along with movies and even games. “Hey! Watch where you step! I would prefer that you don't go through my stuff! Some stuff here is very valuable to me!” Jasper told Pearl. “Well sorry! But goodness you're room sure is messy and what is any of this stuff?” Pearl notices on a drower she sees a picture of Jasper with three children. “Hm? Those children... I take it they hold a sentiment value to you?” Jasper then got her things in a big bag and said to Pearl, “ Leave that where it is! That picture is important to me and is priceless so don't touch it Pearl. Anyways I'm all packed so lets get going.” Pearl in confusion leaves the picture alone and says to herself in her head “ Why would a gem care so much for those humans? What history does she have with them? I never would have imagined a gem could befriend humans… I mean wouldn't their abilities get in the way??” Pearl then looks at Jasper and says “ Right, sorry! Lets go ahead and show you our base!” Pearl and Jasper leave the small house and make their way past the forest and to the top of the hill with the warp pad. Jasper is confused as she looks at the warp pad and asked Pearl what that is. “Hey what is this thing some kind of glass floor?” Pearl then replied to Jasper “Why this is a warp pad Jasper! There are hundreds of them scattered everywhere all of the earth! They pretty much just send you to where you need to go instantaneously. We get beamed up from our location and then teleported to the next! Very simple Jasper come on” Pearl steps on the warp pad and waits for Jasper to get on. “Come on! It's not gonna bite!” Pearl said to Jasper. “Uhh you sure? Cause I don't think I've ever seen those things before! Are you sure it's safe?” Jasper said to Pearl. “Listen Jasper I've used these things all the time nothing will happen to you, your body gets filled with light and then immediately gets beamed up to the next location now lets go!” Jasper groans and carefully steps aboard the warp pad and closes her eyes in fear as she has never been on a warp pad before. The gems then immediately were beamed up from the sky and warped to Pearl and Peridots place.
