Of Diamonds and Quartzes

{Three} Fusions and Connies

"She's gone into the city!" Garnet shouted and the gems leaped into the air before falling to the ground, speeding towards the city. I tried jumping like them but I couldn't get more than three inches off the ground. I groaned loudly before running down the steps.

"Lion!" I shouted and he walked outside the temple, staring down at me tiredly.

"Lion, I need your help!" I explained and he simply blinked at me, uncaringly.

"The world could be in danger!" I tried and he yawned. Dang it, Lion.

"I'll make you two bagel sandwiches!" I persuaded and he launched down from the patio, landing gracefully on the sand. I jumped onto his back and he rushed off towards Beach City. As I road closer, I could tell that the Diamond gem was going to be a hard target to capture.

As I ran into the homely colony, I turned back to see the other gems hot on my tail. I groaned before taking a sharp left turn, and ducking under a transport vehicle that was designed like a pizza. I held my breath as I watched the fusion step onto the boardwalk along with her two cohorts.

"Fan out! Search everywhere!" She commanded and the Pearl ran to my far left while the Amethyst ran to my far right. The Garnet fusion walked up to the vehicle I was under and stared at it for quite some time before I heard the sound of her gauntlets being summoned. Uh oh. I rolled out from under the transportation vehicle as she jumped into the air, bringing her gauntlet down on the poorly designed vehicle, crushing it. As I came face to face with the angry fusion, I summoned my sword to defend myself as she seemed to grow tense. She stood up from the crushed transport vehicle, and slowly walked towards me. I glanced around for an escape but the only exit I could find was to either run, but she would probably catch me, or I could jump onto the sand just to be cornered by the ocean, I was trapped.

"What do you think you are doing? Is it national Destroy-a-Car day, or something?" an African man said coming out of a shop, with some kind of strange contraption inside his hair. The fusion glanced away giving me the perfect route of escape, I ran forward and kicked her in the chest, making her fall over as I continued running. I rushed past the destroyed car and sprinted towards a building with a round contraption on it. I think the humans call it a doughnut. As I did, I felt a whip wrap around my shoulders and held me back. I turned around to see the Amethyst gem holding me back and I rolled my eyes sending a golden eye beam at her, knocking her to the ground. I unwrapped the whip from around me just in time to be met with a spear to the side. I slid across the boardwalk, sword in hand. I glared harshly at the servant of the team as she stared me down.

"Pearl!" I heard the fusion shout from across the boardwalk as she ran towards us and the Pearl glanced over at her.

"Fuse with Amethyst! You can't beat her on your own!" Garnet commanded and the Pearl obeyed, of course. She ran towards the now standing Amethyst and they commenced their attempt at fusion. I smirked as they wasted their time and ran farther towards my destination. As I was running, a shimmering light beamed from behind me and soon a giant fusion was standing before me. How'd they get in front of me so fast?!

"Stop right there." The new fusion said and she summoned a spear. She swiped the blade at me and I gracefully dodged by bounding into the air, leaving me open for her punch that went straight into my gut. I groaned, falling to the ground before watching as the fusion calmly and gracefully walked towards me. She went to grab me but I reacted fast enough, grabbing her arms and pulling her towards me, making her fall. As she fell closer, I drove my foot into her chest and she slowly came apart, unfusing into Amethyst and Pearl. I scoffed at their poor attempt at capturing me before standing to my feet and dashing off, yet again.
