Steven Universe Male Gem Story: Project Red Diamond (Oc X Lapis Lazuli)

Chapter 6: Rejection

(WARNING, THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS VERY SENSITIVE THEMES)

The assault was going perfectly, they managed to destroy the ships, and the warship was performing perfectly. Their attacks couldn't penetrate the fine metals.

Tal-Conq felt proud, knowing that under his command, the perfect warship was tested to be a success.

Back on the surface, it was chaos. Lapis tried to pull Ze-Ro away.

Lapis: Cmon! We have to go!

Lapis saw that Ze-Ro was crying. He also looked, happy.

Lapis: Ze-Ro?

Ze-Ro: They, came for me.

Lapis: What?

Ze-Ro: They do care!

Ze-Ro then ran off, waving his arms in the air.

Lapis: Come back!

Lapis used her wings to fly over and catch him, but he was going to fast and she couldn't avoid all the gunfire like Ze-Ro could, he was simply to amazing at avoiding friendly fire.

Back on the warship, Tal-Conq and Argent were consulting their next move.

Tal-Conq: Why can't we just destroy the whole town these gems have occupied.

Argent: Now now Tal, our Emperor is a man of empathy, only on the day of reckoning will the Hans have their final choice. If they still choose to ally with them, then we will have no choice.

Tal-Conq: Oh please. Any species dumb enough to ally with gems and NOT expect the rest of the Galaxy to wipe them out, are simply the mentally inferior.

Suddenly, a staff member caught something on the cameras.

Guard: Sir! Someone is running through the field.

Tal-Conq: What fool would do that while we're open firing?

Guard: I, can't believe it, sir, he's alive!

Tal-Conq: Who is? Dammit bring it up!

The big screen showed the feed. It was Ze-Ro, running and waving his arms.

Tal-Conq: Now way, Prototype is still alive?

Argent: How curious.

Tal-Conq: Tell me, procedures have already begun in making the next Red Diamond right?

Argent: Indeed, the next one will have more fire power, overall better strength, and complete and total subservience.

Tal-Conq then got an awful grin on his face.

Tal-Conq: Perfect, prepare the bridge, I'm going down.

Argent: Oh? And what do you plan to do general?

Tal-Conq: Well, we can't have the enemy have their hands on our secret weapon, even an inferior version of it.

Argent: Very well, I'll permit it. But don't take to long, unlike me, the Emperor has high hopes for you.

Tal-Conq glared, but he then went to the landing bridge.

Guard: Admiral Argent, if I may ask, why are you so hard on General Tal-Conq? He was the brightest in all the academy, he has been setting records on all tables and, well I'm not one to believe rumors but, it's said that he is under the wing of the Emperor to be next in line for the throne!

Argent: That is quite a list, but you missed one thing.

Guard: What's that Ma'am?

Argent: He's often to headstrong for his own good. Right now as we speak he is going down there alone, feeling like the king of the universe. This will certainly be a demerit for him.
