The garden was silent, not a creature stirred for they were all long dead. Spinel sat by the crumbled projection monitor rubbing her forehead as she fought back a migraine, the event of the last few hours had taken there toll, she was conflicted about running away from it all, she yearned to see Steven again but every time she got close to him the world smacked her in the face with how terrible she is. That had to stop, either she stays here or she changes things but change them how? she thought being nice would be the way that she knew Steven would prefer but that go her absolutely nowhere, and lashing out got results but at the cost of her relationship, all paths seem to lead to her being even more upset and she hated it.
She perked up when the transporter to the garden beamed to working order but when the visitors exited the beam she went back to sulking, It was Connie, Lapis and Peridot and they looked pissed off.
"Hey Spinel! just poping in to make sure you dont hurt Steven I heard from Garnet you'll kill him if he keeps in contact and shes like never wrong about these things!" Connie Growled brandishing her sword. Spinel glanced over seeing it and a crooked smile formed on her face.
"Gonna Shatter me to save him then eh, and with Pinks sword no less you sure are a swell Girlfriend eheh, yeah... Murder, thats the answer to most problems in the universe..." Spinel shook her head as the three got closer.
"If you werent so stubbern I really wanted to help you back on earth Spinel, I didnt want this to happen..."Lapis would say as a ball of water materialized in her hand.
"This outcome Really is the sad one, But If we dont get rid of you we know Steven will try to meet with you, Garnets keeping him at bay for now, so you see our dilemma we know your running away from him but that is not enough to ensure his survival, you frankly Gotta go girl" Peridot would matter of factly say pulling out a gun that looked like old gem tech that was lethal a few thousand years ago.
Meanwhile back on earth Steven pleads with Garnet.
"How can this be your idea of a good future Garnet! They are going to shatter Spinel!" The halfbreed would say trying to push past her to the teleporter.
"Steven hunny that Spinel is not worth loseing you, Im sorry I just cant let you, Greg! help him understand he wont listen to me" Garnet says as she continues to block Stevens path.
"Stevo kiddo she's only looking out for you-" Greg gets cut off as Steven knocks Garnet aside with a bubble punch.
"Dad, You spent time with her, would she hurt us now? I doubt it" Steven says as he makes it a bit closer to the transporter, Greg though steps in front of him.
"It's way to risky, let Connie and the others do this... " Greg says although not convincingly it seems he wants things to end peacefully too but has to play the adult in this situation.
Back in the Garden.
A tree spits in half from a full powered swing of Connies blade that Spinel just barely dodges, The pink gem flings dirt in her attackers eyes.
"YOU ^*&() my eyes!"Connie rubs her eyes for a moment but that gives time for Spinel to deliver a spring loaded punch to her gut that sends her clear accross the garden, where Lapis catches her in mid air.
"You allright Connie?" The blue gem asks lowering her to the grassy floor.
"Yeah.. shes a slippery one though dont let your guard down." Connie says as she recomposes herself.
"I can go all day like this gals, so maybe giving up and leaving me alone would be a great idea?" Spinel says as she grabs Peridot and shakes the gun from her grasp.
"Not happening!" Connie yells charging Spinel and swinging rapidly this time connecting with her target a few times but not critically.
"A little closer and id have poofed, guess play times over..." Spinel pulls out her Scythe
"Well todays a good a day as any to poof dont you agree gals? I dont care if I win anymore..." She says while twirling the weapon around herself.
Connie makes the first move and immediately regrets it as the scythe rakes her right hand and a few fingers topple off it.
"AHHHHHHGHG!!!! YOULL PAY FOR THAT %&*(%(^" Connie cries, Lapis and Peridot gasp at Connies wound and then cautiously approach Spinel from behind, Lapis flinging spears of water and Peridot tossing rocks since her gun was now MIA.
Spinel staggerd a bit at the assult, her eyes fixating on Lapis as she tossed her Scythe at her clipping her water wings.
"Is this how the war felt? eheh... I duno why.. but it's kinda exciting me..." Spinel says and she springs in to some overgrown bushes.
The others lose sight of her in the brambles and frantically search.
"A Lil hide and poof sounds appropriate for this game, question is, whos gunna find me~" Spinel snickers her demeanor changing no longer depressed but meh mildly entertained by these fools trying to shatter her.
