Stevens training pt.2

Garnet summoned her gauntlets and started walking twords Zircon determined. "Give it your all Garnet." Zircon moved her head side to side effectively moving out of her powerful hits. "Faster." She moved one more time then punched her in the stomach making her fly up a bit. "Oh no, she got Garnet." Zircon grabbed Garnets fist in the air and slammed her down on the sand. She stood up and quietly walked over to the others. "Pearl." "I don't think its a good idea to do this." "Nonsense, I think you both need it." Pearl looked at Garnet then walked out onto the field summoning her spear.

    "They get to use weapons?" "Uh Garnet...I don't think this is going to be a friendly fight.." Zircon summoned her scythe and pointed it at Pearl putting her helmet back on. "Zircon-!" She slashed through her spear when she tried blocking her attack making her back away. "You've done so much to me Pearl." She started walking up to her spinning her scythe around hitting the sand. "You deserved most of it." Pearl quickly summoned a spear slashing Zircons chest, she looked at it still walking twords her and grabbed her head looking into her eyes behind the helmet. "I could shatter you right now Pearl."
    "But you won't, because you're to soft to do it." Zircons grip slightly got tighter as she sat there quietly. "I told you so..weak." Zircon strongly pushed back her making her skid over the sand and quickly ran after her dropping her scyhte. "I'm not the one who decided to betray their own-" pearl stuck her helmet cutting through, showing the anger in her eye. "Don't you dare!" She picked Pearl up and looked her in the eyes with her eye. "You left me for Rose Quartz, the one that ended up hurting you anyway!" She punched her making her fall into the crater she caused earlier. "Rose Quartz did not hurt me like you did!" Zircon struck her scythe next to her head making her look at her in slight panic. "WHAT DID I DO TO MAKE YOU LEAVE ME!?" Pearl felt something wet drop on her face and stopped frowning at her.
    "Are you crying..?" Zircon dropped to her knees with her head down and her hand still on her scythe. "Zircon.." Pearl took her helmet off and saw the tears rolling down her cheek as she lifted her head up. "You never gave me a real reason as to why you left me Pearl.." Pearl stood her up as she slowly got up and hugged her tightly. "Because I didn't want to keep getting you in trouble. I can't see you so stressed and worried about keeping me safe Zircon, I know that's why you ended up being on earth you decided to go against your own sister to keep all of us safe...especially Steven." Zircon held onto Pearl still crying.
    "I'm sorry Zircon, I've never realized how much I hurt you just by leaving." Zircon wiped her face and looked up at the sky as it got darker and darker. "Something isn't right.." "What do you mean?" She quickly moved Pearl when she saw a large sword strike the ground looking at her reflection. "You guys...that's a really big sword." "Steven, inside." He nodded at Garnet and took the others inside to safety looking out of the window. "You guys get inside now." She let Pearl go and led her twords the house. "We won't leave you in battle!" Garnet grabbed Pearl and ran off to the house. "Garnet!?" "I'll go help Zircon Pearl, you stay here I need you right now." Garnet put her hand on Pearls shoulder and smiled at her.

   "You did the right thing." She left them all in the house as the ground shook harder and harder. "Garnet!" She stopped by Zircon and looked up at the cracked sky. "She sent clones...she cloned me.." "I know its hard to know that your own sister cloned you like that but there is nothing you can do about it right now." Zircon took her helmet off and summoned her scythe. "They're going to fuse to make a bigger one. Help me take it down please." Garnet held her hand out and smiled at Zircon. "I can't fuse with you, you know how we get." "Its ok. We're here to help you Zircon enemy or not." Zircon grabbed Garnets hand and pulled her closer. "I refuse to let anything happen to you or the others." She put her helmet back on and pushed Garnet back paralyzing her as she crashed into the rocks. "I'll only fuse if its really needed!"

    Zircon threw her scythe at the on coming clones trying to break them down before they all fuse. "What is she doing!?" Steven looked up at Pearl then back at Zircon thinking of a way to relieve her stress and worry. "She can't fight them alone can she?" Greg looked out the window amused by Zircons attacks then back at the others looking for Steven. "Steven!?" He looked back out of the window and saw Steven running down towards Zircon. "Steven no!!" Zircon pulled her scythe out of an enemy and saw Steven running twords her. "Steven?" She started slicing through the black and Grey figures and picked Steven up. "What do you think you're doing?" "Helping!" "Its to dangerous." "You don't seem mad about it." "I might not be able to see in the future but I saw this coming." She threw Steven up cutting through more clones and caught him as he fell down. Steven threw his shield knocking some over and celebrated as they turned into smoke. Zircon backed up when she saw a line infront of her.
    "I'll save you Steven!" Greg plowed through the line of enemies and stopped when he hit them all. "Boy, I came at the wrong time." She fist bumped Steven and held onto him tightly. "Shield." "On it!" She set him down and let him throw his pink sheild slicing up enemies. "There we go Steven!" She smiled at him and gave him a thumbs up before she got picked up by a blue hand. "Steven! Get your dad and go inside!" "Zircon!!" Steven looked up at the source of the booming voice and dropped his shield. "Blue Diamond.." "This is the traitor?" He saw a bright yellow figure standing next to Blue Diamond and slowly backed away. "Yellow Diamond." Pearl grabbed Steven and Greg jumping back to the house. "We need to go!" Garnet got everyone on the warp pad and warped them near the barn.
   "Go get them now!" Amethyst and Pearl nodded their heads as they darted twords the barn. "Steven, take them somewhere safe. I'm going back to help Zircon." "Right." She stepped on the pad and rubbed his head as she started teleporting away. "I'm counting on you warp master." She warped back and looked at the destroyed ceiling. "We won't make it." "Don't say that, we will our fate is not over. We will go through this together." She stepped on the porch and looked at Blue Diaomond and Yellow Diamond.
