"He tried to kill us!!" Amethyst said in shock.
"He's really back....oh stars" Pearl said as she sat on her knees.
"He cracked White! He poofed Bismuth, Carbonite AND Stretch!" Peridot said as she and Lapis ran back into the throne room Stretch's gem in hand.
"He could have killed them" Connie said in realization. Looking down at Chip.
"EVERYONE JUST SHUT UP!!" Aurora yelled in anger. Her eyes and hair flaring a neon red.
"HE DIDN'T HAVE A SAY IN THE MATTER! DO YOU REALLY THINK CHIP WOULD BE CAPABLE OF KILLING SOMEONE?!" Aurora shouted in her link's defense. Damn near preparing to turn on her friends.
Her attention was caught by the sound of garbled and glitching laughter. It sounded Like a broken record. Repeating and skipping.
From the open doorway came a few weak metallic footsteps, a consistent *drag-thump* like sound accompanied by the second step.
"T-T-That bucket of b-bolts?" A deep voice asked as a withered metal human like form hobbled into the light.
A trail of dark glowing red blood followed the figure as it limped forward, it's reactor visibly sputtering.
"No, how would he?"
"He's no murderer. Unlike you lot" The figure said as it craned its disfigured head upward.
The gems remaining took a step backward in disgust, now being face to face with their assailant.
It was a fusion. Not of gems. But of Metamorin and gem technology.
There were peices of gem tech, holding it together. While the frame looked to be from various different Metamorin Carcasses.
It's face looked similar to Chip's as if it had been crudely shaped to look that way.
In it's right eyesocket a glowing red dot flickered weakly.
"Blood Diamond" Garnet said as she stood up, clenching her hands into fists.
"I-In the flesh"
"Well, not quite yet"
"I apologize f-for my appearance. But being dead does a n-number on you" Blood said with a glitched tone, a broken smile crossing his face.
"How are you alive?" Blue asked in shock, holding White's cracked gemstone in her hands.
"Well. Like I said. I hid away"
"My plan was to regain control over my body. But clearly there were c-complications" Blood explained, shakily looking to Chip's unconscious form.
"What do you want?! Haven't you caused enough trouble already?!" Yellow asked in fury, her old tendencies peaking through.
Blood let out a distorted cackle as his reactor flickered vibrantly.
