Remember To Check On Her

Chapter Sixteen - Escort To Home

Jasper's gem started to glow from a distance. Wrapping chains around the orange gem barely kept it down. The ocean became green as the water filled with the glow.

Lapis created a platform so it was easy to stand on and control, and she attached chains to her own hands.

The forms of Jasper flashed through the water. "You are too late, Jasper!" Lapis screamed in victory. The buff girl growled. "Lapis... Lazuli?!" She huffed. "Yeah." Lapis sniffed. "I didn't get a chance to..." Jasper huffed. "Re...form..." Her clothes broke, a light spinning around and enclosing her in her old attire. "Good!" Lapis tugged on the chains.

Jasper gasped as she started to sink. "Come on Lapis... You wouldn't do this to the gem that can take you home...?" Lapis stopped dead in her tracks. "You can take me home...?" "Of course I can."

Lapis, on Earth so long, forgot the path. She's been wanting to go back...

The yellow lights buzzed from the green homes in the city. Lapis looked at the doors and leaned her back against a giant hand hole in the center. Her gem glued to he wall as she was propelled up, passing by each room.

Gems took showers, some asleep, som eating, and some watching Homeworld Network. "New reports of..." She whizzed by. "Pink..." "A.K.A. Rose..." "On Earth..."

How could Pink Diamond be on Earth? She died after Yellow Diamond killed her in the Secret Battle of the Crystal Temple. At least that's what Yellow Diamond told Homeworld.

She stopped, surprisingly not getting whiplash, in front of a door about ten feet away. A panel slid back and forth from her to the door. She stepped on it as the door opened. "Peridot?" She called. "Not here I guess." She sighed. Why did she even care...?

She flashed into her black and grey pajamas, hopping onto the cough and turning on the TV. "Yellow Diamond reported lying to all of Homeworld. I can't believe it! Can you Spinel?" The announcer asked the red gem. "I don't know Emerald. Is it even true?" "Let's go to our field reporter Citrine and find out."

"Hello Homeworld! This is Citrine reporting live from the Temple of the Diamonds. As you know, Panel 4 keeps up with Pink Diamond. For the past thousand years we've been wondering what's happened. It's reported she's-" the TV shut off to a cartoon channel. "What the..." Lapis muttered.

' "It's Yellow Diamond." Peridot's voice echoed through the room. "She doesn't want her citizens to know she's been lying to them." "She's lying to us?" Lapis gasped. Peridot's pale face became paler. "Umm- no. I mean- I'm not qualified to give out that information." "Oh."

"Have they found my weapon in the debree?" Lapis asked hopefully. "No! I mean... Almost?" Peridot mumbled. "They're not looking are they? All those gems- all those gems you!" "Silence, Lapis Lazuli!" Peridot used her formal voice.

"Peridot..." Peridot took a mirror in her fingers and showed a hole in the center a gem-shaped hole. "Yellow Diamond wants you gone. You're wondering too much." Peridot held the mirror closer to Lapis, and she felt Pearls grab her from behind and bang her gem. "Stop! Stop it! Please! Peridot...!" She screamed in pain and anguish. '

"Lapis, stop screaming." Peridot said and shook Lapis' shoulders. "Oh I... I must have been daydreaming. "I said its Yellow Diamond. There was an accident and she thought it was more important than a stupid news conspiracy." "Got it... Did they... Find my weapon...?" "No, Lapis. How can I say... You weren't very important in the war anyways." "What?" "Yeah. Anyways. Yellow Diamond said she wanted to see you..." Peridot murmured.

"Something about a mirror..."

Lapis' wings flew out of her back as she connected her gem to the panel. She pressed the balcony button. "Lapis-" Peridot growled in anger, watching her go up. "Our mission has been compromised." She said into her fingers.

Meanwhile, Lapis twirled up and shot into the night sky of Homeworld. The green building overpowered the rest, wether they were yellow or white or blue. "I wonder if they can still create Green Diamond." Lapis saw hovercopters flying towards her in the sky. Something hit her in the back, hard. She dropped to the ground, poofing.

"Finally." Peridot sighed and put her friend into the mirror. "I'm sorry." She whispered.

"No Jasper. I had too many nightmares there. Everyone thinks that Pink Diamond..." Lapis growled and tugged the chains. "Goodbye old friend. Now you're my new old prisoner." She smiled as she tugged and Jasper went fully under. "Don't worry. There are air pockets down there. Somewhere...

"Lapis... Stay... Reasonable about this. You don't need to be a villain to catch a villain. Gah! Do this! For! Steven..." She screamed and huffed.

I may start a new book. Basically a diary. Would you guys like me to post it?
