Steven Universe: Topaz
Note: This was created BEFORE we met the actual Topaz
"Why Diamond?! Why are you siding with them?!" There weapons clashed and the sound of metal upon metal rang in the atmosphere. Diamonds sparkling knuckle knives holding there own over Topaz's Spatha sword. The two former friends staring into each others eyes seeing the pain they'd given one another emotionally. Diamond being stronger overpowered the weakened gem pushing her to the ground. Her orange hair became dirtier than it already was as it hung from over her face;lose curls bouncing in the tense air.
"I use to think that we were a kind race. That we'd never do something as evil as this."
"What choice do we have?!" Diamond gripped her weapons with tears in her eyes. Her lips quivered as she said, "Rose is defying Home World and now she and the rest of them are going down. I don't want that to happen to you."
"And what will happen to the life forms here? The humans? What are they going to do? They'll be under the thumb of Yellow Diamond unless someone like Rose stops it." Topaz stood with her weapon in fighting position saying, "You have a choice Diamond. Stand with Home World or stand with the Crystal Gems; it's not too late."
There was silence between the two as they gazed into each others pupils. A single tear fell from Diamond and rolled down her snow white face before she yelled, "You...you still don't get it!"
She charged with dust flying into the air. Fury was boiling in her usually calm and collected soul. With teeth clenched Diamond heavily attacked Topaz swinging her knuckle knives in every opening she could. Diamond was angry with Topaz, her most beloved friend, not understanding her plight; she was angry at the situation she was in. Diamond was angry with almost everything now and it showed in her swift attacks. The sound of there weapons colliding pierced both of there ears and would send shivers down anyone's spine. Topaz was barely keeping up with the attacks as they were thrown every which way. She could hear Diamond's heavy breathing as she tried her best to hit her in anyway.
"Why don't you understand! Yellow Diamond isn't just my commander!"
"What?!"
"He's my creator!" With that Diamond took her left foot and kicked Topaz's Spatha out of hand. All Topaz could was watch as it soared through the air and landed blade down in the soil. She didn't even have to chance to turn her head around to face the gem who cut her cheek with crystal clear weaponry. Her body might have been an illusion but the pain was real; physically and emotionally. Her face slammed the ground with a thud as the dirt hit her eyebrows and lashes. Her body focused on the pain while her mind focused on the words she'd heard.
"Diamond! The bombs!" Jaspers voice yelled from a distance, "Retreat!"
Diamond looked upon Topaz body with stone cold eyes that deep down wanted to say something else. She weapons faded away in her hands but her grip remained. Diamond couldn't help but whisper, "I hope to see you again." Diamond turned her back before running off the battlefield with the rest of her comrades. She looked straight ahead as the bombs sounded behind her. One by one the bombs exploded from the ground lifting the Earth and injuring the many. They shook the Earth and made the Crystal Gems tremble; the flames setting fire to the landscape.
Topaz laid there in a mix of emotions. The cries of her fellow team mates echoed in her ears just as the sound of Diamonds footsteps had. Her body shook from the shockwaves of the explosions. Two bombs near her went off and immediately the sound of falling rocks was heard. The ground of the island slipped from the bottom and cracked from the top. First slowly and then swiftly could Topaz see the Earth sliding and her body going with it. She fell just as fast as the chunk of land she was on; above her were even more chunks falling in behind her. She heard the ocean and it's crashing waves before whispering, "I've failed."
