A/N: Final chapter! Yay! Didn't expect this to go so quickly, it's rare when this happens... Anyways enjoy!
Chapter 28: There's Always Hope
The Stealth Ship arrived back at Beach City. The Crystal Gems and Conversion Gems were let off the Stealth Ship.
The three under Maxixe decided to say their good byes.
"Look I know we're enemies but I hope you can go back to your planets." Said Eudialyte blushing a little.
"What? Really?" asked Erza.
"Look I'd rather your guild get destroyed and stuff like! You guys are awesome." Said Eudialyte.
"Also the Leaf Village shouldn't be destroyed, if that happens then really, really stuff will happen… and I don't see that." Said Amazonite.
"Cocoyashi has suffered enoguh… I believe it is better to leave them alone." Said Danburite.
"Thank you…" said Nami unsure how to react.
"How it is not our call to make." Said Danburite, "I think you should man someone at the console… just in case she contacts you again."
Pearl nodded knowing what she meant.
With that the three disappeared in the ship and it disappeared, hopefully from their lives as well.
"Lapis…" said Mirajane, "Can you do us a favor."
In space, Danburite popped the bubble. And Maxixe regenerated, although she now wore a less form fitting dress, her ponytail was looser and she was a little paler.
"What happened…" she muttered.
"You're form was desorbed however I had to negotiate for your life. "said Danburite, "I remand taking our loss gracefully and accept that it all failed."
Maxixe sighed.
She got up and went to her office.
"Great I am so dreading this call." Said Maxixe whoever she got an idea of something could ask the top.
In the Forest Fairy in each of their rooms the Conversion gems were sleeping, after all it was a stressful day.
In the control room Lapis was siting at the chair, however in order to make it less boring she did ask Steven to play a game with her.
However there was only one game they could play with them far away.
"B7." Said Steven who in the hallway.
"Miss." Said Lapis, "H5."
"Hit." Said Steven.
Lapis turned to Pearl who was also in the control room.
"You know you don't have to be here." Said Lapis.
"I should be." Said Pearl.
"Why, did something happen during the fighting?" asked Steven.
Pearl sighed.
"I'll explain later." Said Pearl.
In the sitting room Amethyst and Garnet were waiting I just in case they did get a call form Maxixe.
"Do you think they'll be able to go back home?" asked Amethyst.
"I don't know." Said Garnet.
"If they do, it's going to be so quiet…" said Amethyst.
"I'm not getting cooking lesions from Mirajane." Said Garnet.
"Rats…" said Amethyst.
Back on the stealth ship Maxixe thanked her boss and ended the call. Her three subordinates looked in the office.
"Looks like Project Conversion is over." Said Maxixe, "But at least I got permission to continue that…"
The three had no expression.
"We saw." Answered Danburite.
"Time to tell them…" said Maxixe, "You have to so sorry for them…"
In the Forest Fairy, there was an alert that there was a call. Lapis knew she had to answer it.
"Oh so it's you two…" said Maxixe, "Get them in here… I need tell them something important."
Lapis sighed and went to the microphone.
"Maxixe has made contact, please come right away." Said Lapis.
After a few minutes they all arrived.
"I will admit you bested me completely and utterly… and that I will no longer go after you." Said Maxixe.
The 9 Conversion Gem breathed a sigh of relief.
"However… I have obtained permission from the Diamonds to destroy the locations should you try to return to your home planets." Said Maxixe with an evil smirk.
"What? Why?" asked Mirajane.
"Project Conversion was a failure… however those three planets are way too valuable to just abandoned.' Said Maxixe, "Oh yes I should point out that Alabasta will be desorbed should Aquamarine choose opt return… and I mean the whole kingdom."
Vivi began to cry.
However Nami was looking at Robin.
"Maybe…" she thought.
"Oh and if you two decide to be selfless and send Siberite alone then we'll destroy both islands." Said Maxixe.
Robin gritted her teeth.
"After all to keep things fair, sure her home island was destroyed years ago but that doesn't mean she can return to your home planet." Said Maxixe with an evil smirk.
"How do we know you're not lying!" yelled Steven form the hallway.
"Oh the Hybrid… cute…" said Maxixe, "Are any of you willing to take that chance… really… are you…"
None of them responded.
"Well good bye forever.. .they're sending us to take care some Psychopath named Fire Opal before we come up for new plans to take your planets… so I doubt we'll see other ever again… bye bye!" she said.
And then the signal went dead.
It was deathly silent in the room, all of them looked like they were about of cry.
That was when there was another message.
"It's Danburite." Said Pearl.
They all looked at Pearl who took control of the control to allow the message.
"Hello." Said Danburite, "I am sure that Pearl has not told you about our conversation."
"No." answered Nami.
"We had a rather interesting conversion." Said Pearl blushing a little.
"First I will bare the bad news, Maxixe did get permission to make sure none of you do get to your home planets ever again." Sighed Danburite, "She did not lie…"
They were silent.
"Do not give up hope just yet." Said Danburite "I have learned many things and that when the chips are down something will happen that will charge the course… I have watched all of the Straw Pirates adventures, to be honest they were my favorite pirate crew."
"Why were you watching our adventures?" asked Nami.
"Monkey D. Luffy has been considered a top threat to the Gems since he ate his Devil Fruit…" explained Danburite, "He was considered low before then due to his linage…"
Robin tried not to chuckle while Nami just gave an exasperated sigh.
"In those adventures… I have witnessed many amazing things… From taking down Buggy the Clown to going against the World government at Enies Lobby… you survived explosions, falling form the sky, getting eaten by a whale and other amazing things." Said Danburite giving a genuine smile, "And I've seen when things look their worse something will happen that will turn it around…"
The three were quiet.
"Do not give up just yet, something will happen I am sure of it all three have been through satiations that seemed like nothing will ever go right and you have pulled through before and you can you again." Said Danburite, "Sorry I do not know much about the other planets."
"It's all right." said Mirajane.
"Mira." Sighed Sakura.
"Now the thing I discussed with Pearl." Said Danburite, "I will be your mole."
"What?" asked Nami.
"Indeed I will your spy within Homeworld." Said Danburite, "I know it is a dangerous job, but I do not care. Humans are unique beings… and any of their planets should be protected from the gems. Including Earth. Should I get any information about any and all attacks on earth as well as any one your home plant set, I will inform you immediately."
"But that's extremely dangerous!" said Lapis having first hand experience.
"I am well aware…" said Danburite, "But I am prepared… I can let any more planets with such wonder life fall."
"Thank you so much Danburite." Said Pearl.
"You are quite welcome." Said Danburite, "I wish I was created before the war… I know which side I would have chosen..."
Steven looked at Danburite from the hall way and saw her smile, something told him she was telling the truth.
"Now one more thing before I go… I do have a plan to take down the Gems… unfortunately I probably won't be able to start for many decades…" said Danburite, "Also the plan will result a massive amount of loss of life."
"A war with the world government?" asked Robin.
"It is an overly complicated plan but that is the just of it." Said Danburite, "I despise the world government… however as I said it will probably take decades to enact and you want to get there soon rather than later."
None of them knew how to respond to that.
"I hope that I do not have to speak to you soon… good luck to everyone… and I really do absolutely wish all of you can go home." Said Danburite.
With that the transmission ended.
"Can we trust her?" asked Garnet.
:"I don't know… I doubt she's acting…" said Pearl, "But I think for now we should except her help."
Steven hovered near the door.
Mirajane looked at him and smiled.
"I think we should have that party." Said Mirajane.
"What?" asked Sakura.
"We do have something to celebrate." Said Nami, "We'll all alive, we're not brainwashed, Maxixe is going to leave us alone."
"We might not be able to get home but I agree…" said Hinata .
Sakura sighed.
"Remember you six missed three years." Said Garnet, "To you it's hasn't been that long. But to them…"
"Thank you Garnet." Said Nami.
"Hey I'm up for it." Said Vivi.
"Me too." Said Lisanna.
"All right then!." Said Steven.
"One little change." Said Mirajane, "Greatest party…"
Steven's eyes started sparkling.
"I have so many ideas." Said Steven who ran away to come up with ideas.
"Wait!" called out Nami, "Second greatest for me! Second greatest for me!"
"We should to make sure he spends less than a million dollars." Said Robin.
"Are you sure about this?" asked Pearl.
"Danburite's right… we shouldn't give up hope just yes." Said Hinata, "Some thing will come up…"
Over the course of the next couple days, they planed out of the party with Lapis getting ideas for water slide designs, Steven choosing the menu, Mirajane taking some shifts at Fish Stew Pizza (much to Jenny's jealously) and Steven Greg loaning some of his stuff.
Of course the whole town was invited.
And soon the greatest party (second greatest for Nami and Robin) began!
The town loved it. Mirajane took the strange and sung.
However it earned this response from Jenny.
"She can sing and play guitar too! Seriously!"
However Ronaldo turning the party decided to try to once again break into the forest fairy.
"Ahem…" said Nami showing up behind with the broom.
"Oh come on!" yelled Ronaldo.
Nami of course began to chase him around.
Amethyst meanwhile was pigging out on food.
"Enjoying the party?" asked Tenten.
"Oh year… but I don't know… it feels like I'm missing something." Said Amethyst.
"What?" asked Tenten.
"Like I would have mentioned Uncle Grandpa to Pearl recently but couldn't fit it in." said Amethyst.
"What?" asked Tenten.
Nearby Steven was trying to get Lapis to go on a water slide.
"Come on it will be fun!" said Steven.
"Okay if you say so…" said Lapis nervously.
Mirajane on stage.
"All right! IS everyone ready for the next song?" asked Mirajane.
Much of the crowd cheered.
Overall it was a really good party.
However in space, Jasper was talking to Maxixe on screen.
"What seriously! All of my research?" asked Maxixe.
"You're the one who's keeping them on earth." Said Jasper.
"It's their choice to say on earth." Said Maxixe.
Jasper glared at Maxixe.
Maxixe sighed while thinking "Please don't turn what I said to her around, please don't turn what I said to her around."
Maxixe began to send all of the data she had.
Japer smirked when she got the data.
"Look… I have a lot of work to do involving Fire Opal… so good bye." Said Maxixe ending the transmission.
Peridot entered the room when she saw Jasper scowl.
"What you had a good line?" asked Peridot.
"Of course not." Lied Jasper, but she was going to turn around the whole "water with brains" comment that Maxixe made to her earlier.
"SO what do you want to do with the data?" asked Peridot.
"I have a plan to one up her." Said Jasper with an evil grin.
"What?" asked Peridot with her eye twitching.
Oh this little plan is going to be good." Said Jasper.
Peridot gave an exasperated sigh, "This isn't going to end well." Peridot thought to herself.
However Jasper's plan would not come to fruition for quite a while… however for now the Crystal Gems and the Conversion Gems could live in peace…
Although for now… all they could do is hope… that one day they can go home again…
The End… For Now…
