One Day I'll Save You

All That I Know

Peridot had moved to Lapis to see if she got hurt. Luckily, not much damage was done to her while she fought Tanzenite. Steven stomped his foot on the ground.
"Well!" Tanzenite took a breath and closed her eyes. Her gem bagan to glow a bright pinkish purple. Steven suddenly found himself surrounded by an enormous hologram. She stood in the middle. A motion played through of her breaking through the walls of the beta kindergarten, and her meeting Jasper. She showed them fighting in the war. She made a point to not look at the figure of Jasper. She woukd cover her eyes if she absolutely had to.
She told of them going to homeworld and an ominous blurry figure looming over her, she did not dare to look at this figure either. It was like she was trying to remember differently.
Steven focused on the dance like rythm of the trail of memories she was pouring out in front of him, Amethyst, who looked like she was going to be sick, lapis, who had her mouth covered by her hand in shock, and Peridot who was watching amazed that she could make a projection this big.

Tanzenite leveled the hologram and she acted like she was pushed to the ground
A giant hand lifts her head and she stares angrily at it with closed eyes. She slaps the hand away and hides in a projection of Jasper who is looking behind her at the huge figure.
The hologram changes again. Jasper is kneeling to the huge figure. Tanzenite is facing away. A tiny earth floats in front of her. She holds it, smiling.
A graphic of glass shattering and Tanzenite, her surround, and Earth all shatter. She turns and there are many hands pointing at her. She looks small compared to numerous amounts of hands. She covers her eyes and acts like she's screaming. The hands point to a dissapointed looking Jasper, who turns her back to her and heads to ship doors.
A final hologram shone and it was of her landing on earth, her face looked pained as she looked around, explosions and shattered Gem holograms flew in every direction. She spins and silently screams she looks at her hands and falls. Suddenly a figure appears, holding out her hand, she was large, and God like, her hair was enormous and she bore a gentle expression. Rose Quartz, she took her hand and she vanished. The hologram disappears and Tanzenite is left in a reaching out position. She looks down to the ground and finally opens her eyes and looks at them all.
Each one has a different emotion on their face.
Steven looked concerned and confused, Lapis looked like she wantes to hit her, Peridot looked like she was about to cry, and Amethyst was hiding her face from Tanzenite. She held her arm and looked away from them.

"Thats... who I am..."
"Could you repeat that, I think I'm lost." Steven said. Tanzenite blushed.
"Steven, I'm a glorified war hound, I was forced away from my home, earth, and then..." she balled up her fists. "I was saposed to keep her safe... and I did, but now, now I don't even know where she IS." She pointed to Lapis, who looked like she had reverted back to her monomooded self.
"You're the one she was fused with, you must have some idea!" Lapis frowned.
"Look, I was barely able to think about anything other than holding her in that fusion. I blacked out when we were seperated, I only know that she would shout something everytime she got close to over take me, then all together." Lapis looked down to Peridot, who gave her a reassuring touch of her hand.
"sorry..." Tanzenite said suddenly. Lapis looked up. Tanzenite was holding her hand out.
"I.. could have really hurt you, I should have thought about that and I didn't, and I'm sorry." Lapis shook her hand awkwardly.
"I'm still confused, warhound? What?" Steven asked.
"She was like pearl but was made for fighting." Interjected Peridot rapidly. Steven looked at her.
Peridot looked between them all. Amethyst had moved closer to Tanzenite and held her hand. She gave her a timid smile in return.

"Tanzenite's are made as squires for strong soldiers, they carry weapons, belongings, medical supplies if they're needed.." Peridot took a breath as Steven listened intently.
"Abilities can be added and taken away since Tanzenite's are such maliable gems, potentially coming in different colors, shapes and sizes, but that's true of most Gems." She added at the end with a little hand wave.
"What I wonder about our Tanzenite here, is that she is wearing gloves that isn't a part of her normal attire. She won't let anyone touch her, what did Jasper do to you?" She asked leaning in. Everyone seemed interested in this topic. Tanzenite let go of amethyst and removed her right glove and showed her her arms.
Running from her fingers to her shoulders were glowing cracks. They looked like veins running up her arm, only shiny and very visible. They all looked at them closley. Peridot reached out to touch them but Tanzenite pulled away.
"You'll get hurt if you touch me." She said regloving her arm.
"Why?" Asked Steven. Tanzenite sighed.
"One of the few things I could never forget... actually." She smiled. "A while after me and Jasper had proved worked well together, higher ranking Gems wanted to test us. They only made Jasper do a few, and it was mostly sparring. With me, they wanted to see how far I could go, hoe far until I broke and asked for more. It didn't take long. Jasper set it up." She clenched her fists towards the sky.
"She had me enhanced so if any Gem touched my bare skin their form would be destroyed, I was made into a weapon." She said it as if it was the only choice at the time. She smiled. "She also made it so if we were ever seperated I could always sense her general location..... for some reason... it isn't working anymore." She sighed and smiled.
"Well Steven! Wasn't this an eventful day!?" She said with a huge grin, stance wide and her hands on her hips. Steven laughed nervously.
"I guess."
