Stevens training pt 3

"You think you have what it takes to take me on?" Steven thew his sheild at Lëon hitting him in the head. "Why you little!" Zircon threw her chain wrapping around his arm and turned him around facing her. "I'm helping no matter what anyone says!" He ran next to Zircon and put up another shield. "You're a brave one aren't you?" Zircon put her scythe away and put her fist up. "Are you withdrawing?" "No way, I just don't want to hurt steven." "Once again, foolish. " she picked Steven up putting him on her shoulders and ran t words Lëon getting ready to punch him.
    "That's not gonna work on me anymore!" He slashed through the after image and quickly turned whipping at them. Steven jumped as Zircon ducked and threw another sheild hitting his face and landing back on her shoulders. "One more time Steven, but this time you have to get closer and bash his head up." "Right!" She took Steven off of her shoulders and slid him under Lëons face. "Now!" He put all his strength into his hit making his head fly up. "You can't take what's precious to me!!" She jumped up and punched him in the head making him crash down next to Steven.

    "Thanks for your help Steven I probably would've been doomed without you." She smiled and messed up his hair again. "Now go take everyone Far away from here and fast. They're sending more Council Members after me." "We can't leave you like this Zircon." Steven looked up at her with a Stern look and clenched his fist. "Listen to me Steven, if you guys aren't here then they can't fight me." "That's smart! They can't do anything to you because you don't have an army." Pearl walked up next to Steven uncrossing her arms. "If I leave you have to promise me you'll be back by our side!" "I promise you Steven." He gave her one more Stern look then went into the deep jungle with Pearl and the others.

    Zircon looked out to the sea and summoned her scythe again. "I can't fight with fist anymore.." she watched as the two large Diamonds headed her way and kept her guard up. "Where is your army? Wiped out already?" "Yea...Wiped out." Yellow Diamond crossed her arms and headed back. "You might've won this time Zircon but I guarantee you, you will not succeed." "Maybe you're right but it'll buy us some time to really get to you." Blue Diamond looked at her sister one last time before heading back. "You always were smart Zircon, especially when it comes to battle." Zircon put her scythe up and laid on the ground. "You can come out now! I'm just gonna be here..sleep."
Steven and the others came out looking around and sat down next to her. "It actually worked." Garnet picked Zircon up and looked down at the others. "Let's take her back home before we celebrate." Steven got up watched as the others followed Garnet to the warp pad. "I wonder..how long will it take to get even stronger for Zircon and the others..I will protect them." He snapped out of his day dream when he heard his father calling him. "Come on Steven!" "Im coming!" He said running off towards the pad. "Hopefully nothings destroyed!" He teleported everyone back inside of the house and looked around. "Everythings...fixed?" "How is that possible? No one came to fix it." Pearl said walking down looking around carefully. Amethyst looked up when she heard a banging noise on the roof.

   "Everyone to the rooms. Pearl take Steven and Lapis. Amethyst take Connie, Greg, and peridot." "How come you only have Zircon?" Garnet looked at Amethyst then back at Zircon. "Because she won't be happy when she wakes up. Now move." They all quickly went into the rooms locking the doors behind them. "Zircon, wake up." Garnet put her on the ground and crossed her arms as she watched Zircon get up. "Major Headache.." Garnet balled her first up and socked her in the face making her fall over again. "MAJOR HEADACHE!" "What we're you thinking!? You were never the type to be that brash and irrational!" "I did it to protect you all." "You have no reason too! I was worried about you and Pearl's safety." "Jeez Garnet you act like we're a couple." Garnet sighed a little bit and smiled.
     "Even when you're getting scolded at you still find humor." "It mellows everyone out you know?" Garnet nodded her head and sat down. "I have to agree with you on this one." Zircon sat next to her and heavily sighed. "Go ahead and let it out Zircon, it's better off you do it now and not in front of everyone." "Im scared to fight her Garnet, I'm scared to fight my own sister! If I do she just might win." "I can't tell you if you will win or not because I do not know but I'm pretty sure with your fierce personality you'll do completely fine." "Actions tend to speak way louder than words." She snapped her fingers creating a small hologram of her, Pearl, and Rose. "My words tend to speak louder sometimes Garnet.." she swayed her finger and watched as the two looked at each other arguing.

   "I told her to leave so I don't have to see her face anymore..just so she could be safe from me and Blue Diamond. She hated me so much for that because it was after we made Morganite together...after something special happened." "So this is what really happened between you two? A big argument?" Zircon sadly agreed and pointed twords the holograms. "You're useless to me now Pearl..leave me before I change my mind about letting you go." "How could you say something like that to me!?" "Because you are! Get out of my sight right now before I turn you into dust!!" The Pearl hologram clasped her mouth and ran past Rose with a face full of tears. "Thank you Zircon..I know it must've been hard to do it but-" "Rose..please take care of her with everything you have." "I will."
    Zircon sat on her throne and clenched the arms tightly. "Promise me." "I promise you." Rose left the room quietly disappearing in the dark. "Zircon...how come you didn't tell me?" "It was better off we never talked about what happened that day bringing back memories that need to be gone..if Blue Diamond were to catch me she'd make me hurt her all over again. Yea we argue sometimes but, we'll get over it fast and start talking again." Garnet looked down at the weeping hologram then back at Zircon. "We all need a talk."
