Fusion Redemption: An SU fanfic

Chapter Three: Fluorite

Amethyst and Peridot had the nightly shift on the Barn. Ever since the EMP Cannon backfired and was all but destroyed, Peridot and Pearl have been trying to repair it using supplies at the Barn. The only problem was that the creatures that were unleashed in the Burning Room had taken to roaming around the Barn, so Peridot and Pearl have been taking shifts to watch the Barn with the help of Lapis, Garnet and Amethyst.

Peridot had activated her gemstones Photokinesis, allowing her the triangular gemstone on her forehead to emit a beam of green light to help search for lurking gemstone monsters. She didn't see anything, but was sure that monsters were in the area. Amethyst interrupted her train of thought.

"So, Peridot, I've heard from Steven that you and Garnet fused last night."

Peridot deactivated her Photokinesis so as to not distract Amethyst while they talked. She turned to her and "grinned like a geek" as Amethyst called it. "Yeah, I shared my envy of Lazuli and Pearl's companionship, which itself had been strengthened by the presence of Moonstone, and Garnet offered to fuse with me. We already had tried some time ago, but this was the first successful fusion."

"So what was it like?" asked Amethyst while leaning her back against the barn wall. Peridot's homemade limb-enhancers had almost all the properties of her old ones, but they didn't add much height, so when Peridot sat down on the stack of hay next to Amethyst, Peridot still had to look up at her.

Peridot sighed and explained it to Amethyst. "Oh it was wonderful Amethyst. I wish you could've been there to see Jade. It felt great to be so powerful, a-and so courageous a-and so...fearless."

Amethyst assumed Jade was the fusion of Garnet and Peridot that she was referring to, and pondered what Jade must have looked like and what her weapon was.

Of course, Amethyst knew what it was like to fuse with Garnet, but in a less fortunate way. She looked at the sky and pondered about the subject. Their fusion, Sugilite, was so hard to control that when she was first introduced to Steven, she had gone berserk. Despite this, she could feel how brave Garnet was and how strong it felt to be her. It seems that Garnet has that effect on all gems; Amethyst overheard Pearl tell Garnet that when they fused to make Sardonyx, Pearl could also feel the confidence and power in being Garnet.

"So, P, what was Jade's weapon? And what did she look like?" asked Amethyst whilst sitting down next to her. "Well, Jades weapon was a combination of my limb-enhancers with Garnet's gauntlets. It was two pairs of gauntlets, one for each of her four hands, which had mechanical upgrades on them that allowed Jade to potentially fire a variety of projectiles, such as bladed discs and laser bolts."

Amethyst pondered the gauntlets when Peridot continued on. "Jade dressed in a dark green outfit, similar in shape to Garnet's, but it had metallic plates and streaks on their similar to my outfit, and her outfit also had black and light green highlights all across it."

Considering this, it came as no surprise to Amethyst as to why Steven was so excited about another "Giant Woman"; Jade sounded magnificent. Amethyst was viciously yanked of her train of thought when Peridot screeched, "Amethyst, look!!"

Amethyst turned her head from the sky to the trail in front of her, and saw a massive, bird-like corrupted gem hovering in the sky. It briefly landed on the ground before using it as a launching pad. The bird jumped off the ground, soaring 15 feet in the air in the process, and extended its wings, flying above the barn.

Peridot looked at what it was with wide eyes, each filled with fear. But Amethyst grinned. This was a perfect time to stretch their legs. Amethyst stood up and held out her hand to Peridot, who looked at it confused. "What are you doing," she said in an annoyed voice.

Amethyst voice was filled with determination as she spoke, "Let's fuse." Peridot looked enthusiastically at Amethyst, then at her hand, then at the monster in the sky, before taking Amethysts hand. Amethyst pulled Peridot on her feet, and had the first motion: she twirled Peridot, let go of her so Peridot walked backwards, and sidestepped towards her. Peridot excitedly grabbed Amethysts hand and allowed Amethyst to dip her.

A pillar of light emerged from where they were standing. Lapis, Pearl and Garnet ran out to investigate, to find an entirely new fusion...

She had roughly the same muscular build as Sugilite, and she was taller than Rainbow Quartz, but not as tall as Sardonyx. Her voice spoke of excitement and action: "I am Fluorite."

Fluorite dressed in a purple and yellow outfit with green highlights. Her back was lined with stripes of all three colors, and a large yellow star was on her chest, with a smaller, green star inside of it. Two of the tips of the yellow star extended outwards and along her arms. She had a light green rectangular visor. She had two purple and green metallic gloves on her hands. Fluorite summoned her weapons: two whips made of energy and electricity that extended from her knuckles.

Fluorite turned her attention to the gem monster in the sky. She flicked her wrists in a circular motion, causing her the two whips to wrap around her gloves. "Time to catch me a monster," said Fluorite with confidence as she stretched her arms over her head. As Garnet, Pearl and Lapis watched in awe, Fluorite charged at the corrupted gem.

The monster turned around to find Fluorite right behind her. Fluorite, with a large grin on her face, flicked her right wrist, and the energy whip became undone from her arm. Fluorite whipped the energy cord at the monsters legs and pulled her back. Fluorite grabbed the monsters neck, jumped in the air, and slammed the corrupted gem into the ground and the monsters body instantly degenerated.

Garnet, Lapis and Pearl ran over to examine the damage, only to find Fluorite towering over the gem monster. Fluorite unfused in a puff of smoke, and Peridot was left standing there, holding Amethyst in a dancing position. Peridot's face was consumed with a wide grin, and she hugged Amethyst. Amethyst lifted Peridot up, and the two of the started spinning around. Amethyst finally looked at Peridot and pulled her into a big hug.

Peridot slipped out of Amethysts hug and held up the dark orange gem of the corrupted gem monster they just defeated, which she then bubbled. Once more, a grin came across Peridot's face as she said, "You know Amethyst, fusing with Garnet is fun and all...but I think I enjoyed this more."

"I think so too," said Amethyst with a smile on her face. Garnet appeared behind them and stated "I heard that." All three gems broke into laughter. Today had truly been a great day...
