Sally, The Crystal Gem

Corruption

This was the closest picture I could find on what Sally looks like when she is fully corrupted, but she isn't yet. She is still in her old form, but the next time they see her, she will be transforming. Please enjoy this chapter, and vote, share and comment! Also, this is really stupid. I rushed it and it turned out to be horrible. I don't mind mean comments.

"We... have to... find her!" Pearl panted, as she came running back. She saw that Ruby and Sapphire had unfused, and Amethyst's jaw was dropped from everything that had just happened.

"We will find her. Tomorrow. We need to go check on Steven." Sapphire said.

"B-But Sally!" Pearl stammered, clearly worried.

"We'll find her tomorrow, Pearl. I know you're scared for her, but I promise we will find her." Sapphire said. Pearl sighed.

"Okay..."

The gems warped home. Steven whipped his head around from his spot on the bed and saw the three gems, Ruby and Sapphire fused so Steven didn't see.

"You're home! Wait... Where's Sally?" Steven asked. The gems looked at each other.

"Sally is... M-Missing..." Pearl stuttered, sitting on the couch and staring into the distance, zoning out.

"Pearl... We are going to find them... I promised..." Garnet said sitting next to her.

"Yeah, You don't need to worry." Amethyst said. Pearl sighed and looked over to the temple door.

"I'm gonna... Leave... For a while..." Pearl sighed.

Garnet called Pearl out of her room the next day. Pearl opened her and sighed.

"We're leaving now. Steven is out playing. We left everything he needs." Garnet said. Pearl looked around the dark temple. Amethyst sat on the sofa, frowning. Garnet led the gems to the Warp pad.

They warped to the fountain, and saw Sally standing in front of the star that they walked through to get to the fountain.

She turned and the gems gasped. Her eyes were glowing orange and her form was glitching out. She stared at them for a moment before mumbling something.

"Help me."

"Sally!" Pearl yelled, reaching her arm out to her. She attempted to run to her but Garnet stopped her.

"We can't poof her." She said. Pearl looked back at Sally, worried. Sally's glitched form glitched before screaming. She ran at the gems, growling. Pearl gasped and dodged Sally.

"We have to lure her to the fountain!" Garnet said, trying to dodge Sally.

Sally's form grew, orange spots growing worse. Fur began growing on her back.

"S-She's... Changing." Pearl mumbled, a hand over her mouth. "Sally, you have to fight it!"

Sally looked over at Pearl, and her eyes glitched back to normal for a minute.

"P-Pearl?!" Sally gasped. "N-No! I'm hurt! You... You need to leave!" Sally yelled.

"But.... I thought she knew we were here." Amethyst said.

"The corrupted part of her has a conscience..." Garnet said.

"Well, we still need to get her in that fountain!" Pearl said. She summoned her spear. "I will not risk losing Sally!" She yelled running towards Sally. She slashed at her, causing Sally to turn to her.

Pearl felt something in her, bursts of confidence, a feeling she hasn't felt in a long time since she lost Rose. She felt a connection to Sally, and she couldn't lose her.

Sally's form grew, and when she turned to Pearl, something snapped in her.

Sally had fully corrupted. Her face had changed from her sweet look to a face of terror. She was hurt, Pearl could see it, even if she was lost inside her mind.

"Garnet... We can't just let her... Be in pain..." Pearl mumbled, her fingers gripping her spear tighter. Her eyes showed fear for Sally.

"Don't do it, Pearl." Garnet said. Pearl turned to her.

"I'm sorry. I just... Can't stand to see her like this." Pearl mumbled. She pointed her spear at Sally. She shot a blast of energy, and it burnt straight through her form. There was a bright burst of orange before her gem clattered to the ground.

"Sally!" Garnet and Amethyst ran up to her gem. Pearl slowly walked behind them. "How could you do this, Pearl?! What if she can't reform?!" Garnet yelled.

"I just... Couldn't stand to see her hurt..." Pearl mumbled holding her arm tightly. Garnet scoffed and walked to the fountain. She placed the gem in the tears. It glowed faintly for a moment.

"Did it work?" Amethyst asked.

"It should. But I don't know. She got poofed." Garnet said looking down at Pearl. Pearl just sighed and walked away.

"I'm going home." She said. She stood on the Warp pad, looking at them before she warped away.
