Shattered III- Home World (A Steven Universe Fanfic)

Jasper

THREE GIRLS laughed at a young Rose Quartz outside the mess hall of Region Yellow's training grounds 4500 years ago. The pink-skinned girl with a number tattooed on her neck like the others knelt on the ground desperately trying to pick up torn pieces of paper before her, trying and failing to hold back her tears.

"Why do you keep your head in books all day, huh? This's a military camp, not a library." A blue gem among the three said.

"I bet she thinks she's smarter than the rest of us." A big-bodied gem said.

"Yeah, she probably tells herself that since she's such a pathetic fighter."

Rose reached for a paper on the ground and the blue gem fired an energy blast at it before she could get to it, laughing at her as Rose started crying even more. The three girls continued to mock Rose as she scrambled to stop the fire that started when an orange blur swooped into the area and knocked the blue gem down with a powerful force that sent her flying through a wall!

Rising to her feet, a tall orange gem looked at the two girls that harassed Rose and turned to the blue girl sticking out of the wall across from her, enjoying her own handiwork.

"Oh, shit, it's 717." The big-bodied gem said in surprise as she saw Jasper's number, frightened as Jasper turned to Rose.

"I can't leave you alone for a second, now can I?" Jasper said to Rose.

"Look, 717, we were just playing around - we didn't hurt her, we swear!" The big gem said in a panic.

"You were playing, huh?" Jasper clenched her fist, turning to the remaining two gems with a vicious grin. "Mind if I join in then?"

"You bitch!" The blue gem growled as she pulled herself out of the wall. "Who do you think you are!?" She yelled out in rage and blasted a barrage of energy balls at Jasper from her palm.

"I'm the daughter of a White Commander, and you are an insect." Jasper replied blankly.

Moving nonchalantly, Jasper held out her hand as the blasts came her way, huffing then completely absorbing them into her palm! The blue gem recoiled in shock and in a swift motion, Jasper clenched her fist and flicked a finger at her, firing the energy back at her in a volley ten times larger than before!

The blue girl panicked and tried to get out of the way, but was swallowed by the wave of plasma that engulfed her and destroyed the entire mess hall along with her! Jasper watched as the building went up in flames and the other girls ran off in terror, leaving Rose behind.

"Huh, guess I over did it." Jasper blinked and looked at her hand, failing to notice a Commander rush into the area and witness the fire in horror.

"Wha-what the hell is this?!" He exclaimed.

"Ah, shit." Jasper huffed.

A YELLOW skinned gem, 517, with long flowing pink hair paced around the foyer of her home in Region Yellow's suburbs outside the inner city. She muttered to herself as she tried to piece things together then jolted up as she saw a tall red gem come through the door.

"700, I heard what happened -are Rose and Jasper alright?" 517 walked up to her husband.

"They're more than alright! Jasper got into a fight; blew up the whole mess hall!" 700 replied excitedly.

"Jasper!" 517 scolded. "Rose was being picked on again, what was I supposed to do?" Jasper replied with a shrug.

"It's good that you're looking out for your little sister, but you shouldn't be fighting all the time." 517 moved up to Rose and checked on her. "Are you okay, honey?" Rose smiled to her. "I'm fine, mom; they just messed up my books, that's all."
