"Wha-?" I asked myself, but it seemed Peri could understand me without even saying anything directly. It was like... the Ultimate connection.

"I..." Peridot started, "I...I don't know."

I soon became too aware of what we were. We were something that I would have looked at with disgust not too long ago. We were a fusion, no deigning it.

It is a weird feeling being a fusion. You don't feel alone, or like one gem, but at the same time, you do? I don't know how to really describe it, I'm not all that technical, that's Peridot's job.

I soon realized that Malachite was still there attacking us. I took control of F/N. I put my hand up to my gem, since Peridot's don't have physical weapons, just Ferrokinesis, and extracted it from it. I then assembled an entirely new weapon all together. I composed a/an W/N (Weapon Name)!

Jasper just, stared at me with surprise... and disgust. The very expression on her face infuriated me to no extent. I ran towards her with tears beginning to well up in my eyes. I slashed her with my weapon. Over, and over again. She didn't deserve to be here on Earth. I finally proofed her. Finally!

"The Mighty and Terrible Jasper had been defeated!" I shrieked in my victory! I took her gem and began to squeeze it tightly, hoping to shatter it, so she can never come back.

As I continued to squeeze, I felt Peridot tug on my arm! "No!" She began, "We can't shatter her!" She yelled through the fusion!

"Why not!"

"Because she's still a-"

I cut her off, I have a tendency to do that, "No Peridot! There is no change of redemption for her! Didn't you see the way she looked at us! She's evil! No one will morn her death! No one ever morns the wicked!" I screamed at Peridot.

After a few seconds of silence, I felt our body begin to break apart. We became single gems again. My heart seemed to shatter into thousands of tiny pieces when I saw the confused and hurt expression on Peridot's face. "Peridot, I'm sor-"

She just walked away. I watched in despair as continued to look at Jasper's gem, which I soon bubbled. I needed to go after her.

That feeling... of being together, I couldn't live without it. I needed it. I needed her.

I slowly walked up the hill to the barn, but just as I reached the door, I paused. She probably hates me. I tried to shatter a gem, even though I still think she deserved it, it really upset her. I should give her some space.

Peridot's POV

I watched her pick up the orange gem and squeeze it tightly in her hands. It took me a moment to realize that she was going to shatter jasper!

"No!" I yelled, not even thinking

She quested me about this. Why?! Does she really want to become a murderer! If she does... she is just as bad as jasper. I ran off, tears in my eyes. I didn't look back. I couldn't look at her.

I finally arrived at the barn, and sat down to think about what happened.

"Just when I thought she was different" I mumbled to myself. Everyone on homeworld thought it was just 'okay' to shatter gems, even if they did nothing wrong. I used to think that too. Then I came here. It wasn't even g/n, it was just the Earth as a whole. There is just something about this planet. Anyway, when I came to earth I realized shattering a gem was wrong, even if they as horrible as jasper. I thought she thought so too, but I guess... I was wrong.

I heard footsteps outside the barn and immediately hid. I didn't want to see her. No, not right now. The footsteps soon went away, and I slowly came out. I stood there, waiting. For what? I don't know. Just something. I think... deep inside I wanted her to come back. Maybe, I even wanted to talk to her?

Even though her actions were terrible, I can't deny that when we fused, I felt something. Something incredible. Something entirely new. I loved that feeling, but.. I don't like this feeling. I feel... Betrayed.

Also, if you guys did not notice, I changed the cover of this book! I hope you like it! It was made by yours truely. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this chapter!
