Chapter 1: The Meeting

"Dammit Lapis let me go!" Jasper roared, tugging against the liquid chains as hard as she could.

The blue gem hissed, pulling Jasper back roughly. "I told you no! Stop fighting against me!"

Malachite thrashed about wildly on the seabed, gripping its hair and screaming at the top of its lungs. They'd done this for weeks, months even. Every day was the same, every day was a battle which was soon becoming more difficult to win. Lapis's legs shook underneath the sheer pressure of the ocean. She was strong, incredibly more so than most but this was beginning to become too much for the water gem. It didn't help that Jasper was resisting very violently 24/7

"For the last time stop!" she shrieked, almost playing tug of war with the large gem. Jasper growled viciously, she was weakening but she knew she wasn't the only one.

"Don't play stupid with me, you and I both know this will end badly if we stay here" Jasper spat out, pulling on the chains once more.

Lapis stumbled forwards before regaining her balance. She hated to admit it but Jasper was right. Malachite was unstable. It wouldn't be long before they lost themselves. She still resisted to Jasper's pleas and shouts.

"We're staying here" Lapis said stubbornly even as Malachites body began to glow.

Jasper gasped out when she rose to the surface breathing heavily she forced herself to a standing position. Dragging her huge body through the water she looked back at the vast ocean, it was official she and Lapis were not good for each other in any way. They'd soon split and Jasper forced herself to swim as far away as she could from the water gem. Unfortunately from what she could see, she was still in the area she'd first landed in. Squinting slightly she could see a figure walking across the beach towards her, was it a human? She didn't know since she'd collapsed onto the wet sand.

(Ten minutes ago.)

He charged at them, his clawed hands swiping wildly at the leader the girl retaliating with her revolver. The bullets bounced off his skin barley doing any damage he made to leap at her only to grunt in pain as something uppercutted him before a sniper round embedded itself in his stomach sending him into a wall. He was than bombarded with rapid punches keeping from recovering, growling he simply stuck out his hand catching the speedster mid run. Picking her up he grinned maliciously as he brought her up and open his mouth sharp teeth gleaming as he brought them down on her arm before jerking his head to the right.

"NO!" Jack yelled as he woke up from his nightmare.

He coughed heavily as his Jade gem began to pulse painfully the veins near the gem becoming visible. This happened every time he had a nightmare, no, these weren't nightmares these were…fragments, or at least that's what Kate had described them as he didn't remembering doing a third of the things he did in his dreams until he had actually dreamt them. They were never pleasant almost always they were of him doing acts of cruelty or of him in the battlefield during the war, but this one…Jack didn't think he could hate himself more than he already did.

'Did I really do that?' Jack thought as he got out of his bed. 'According to Kate everything I've described in my dreams for the last five thousand years has been accurate but if that's the case…'

Jack frowned as he morphed on his casual clothing and walked out of his bedroom. If he had fought his friends all those years ago than why hadn't they told them and if they couldn't trust him with something as important as that than what else where they keeping from him. He growled to himself as he jog down the steps leading to the living room/kitchen hybrid of their house, his head still pounding from the pain his gem had put him through earlier. Damn diamonds, damn Rose Quartz if it wasn't for them he could have lived a relatively normal life instead he was a semi immortal half corrupted rock thing forced to wander the Earth for eternity. So caught up in his own thought and frustrations he failed to notice a certain brown haired girl watching him as she drank from her coffee mug. Said girl watched in slight worry as she watched her best friend leave the house with an angry look on his face.

Jack had always been an easily angered person even before they had been kidnapped by the diamonds. Albeit he was able to control that part of his personality at times it still didn't' take that much to push him over the edge even to this day, it was especially more dangerous no more than ever as that same anger worked as a trigger for that corrupted form of his. While he had gotten somewhat of a handle he could still only manage to control himself for twenty minutes before he went berserk…and they didn't want a repeat of what happened during the war.

Kate shivered slightly and absentmindly grabbed her stomach before heading towards her room deciding that her friend would be fine.

(Now.)

Our protagonist walked down the beach, the night sky and the sounds of the ocean soothing him as he closed did. He let out a content sigh as he stretched his arms, he had always loved the beach his parents would take him and his little brother and sister there every summer no matter the situation. He would have continued his walk unhindered if not for tripping over something and falling face first into the sand.

"Son of a bitch!" Jack yelled getting up and glaring at the thing that had tripped him only for his eyes to widen in shock as he saw what, or rather who, had caused his fall.

It was a woman, one with long thick white hair along with tangerine skin with reddish markings along her body. Turning her over Jack was able to see she had a muscular body, plump lips and wore a sleeveless bodysuit with a dark mahogany V-neck collar with a yellow diamond in the center, the torso of the bodysuit was maroon while the legs were a dark mahogany. She also wore red boots with dark red toe caps. Jack blushed as his eyes ran over the womans body, he had to admit she was pretty hot he didn't usually go for muscle girls but something told that this girl was something special.

That something was answered when Jack noticed the jasper gem in the middle of her face.

"Shit." Jack thought as he jumped his hand going to his gem to draw his weapon.

Only to stop when Jaspers body flickered twice before disappearing into her gem. Jack slowly inched towards the gem hand still poised to summon his weapon, poking at it with his feet the dark skinned man jumped back when the gem started to crack in multiple places.

"Shitshitshitshitshitshit!" Jack yelled scooping up the gem in his hands and running back towards the house.

He may hate the diamonds but that doesn't mean he wanted the people under them to die.

(With Peridot.)

The green skinned gem was happy she was free, finally free of that clod Yellow Diamond the same gem that had forced her to fight against her friend, the gem who had forced her and Jasper to work under her in the hope that she would restore Charcoal. The same gem that treated them like nothing more than tools.

She was free!

Peridot jumped in the air in victory laughing all the way as she did until she felt something stir within her. It wasn't pleasant and at the same time it wasn't hurtful either, it was more like…what did the humans call it? Premonition? Yes that's it! It felt like a premonition, like something neither bad nor good was about to happen and she couldn't help but feel it would have something to do with her missing friend. Thinking about Jasper instantly put a damper on her mood, she had asked the Crystal Gems if they had captured her companion only to be shocked when she found out that the muscular gem had fused with Lapis who had then dragged and imprisoned her under the sea. This had of course devastated Peri, the thought of never seeing her best friend again bringing tears to her eyes.

Her friends had noticed this and had tried to ask her what was wrong but she managed to convince them that everything was fine, although Garnet and Amethyst seemed to have doubts.

Speaking of which.

"You okay Peridot?" Amethyst asked walking up to the green skinned gem

"I'm fine Amethyst, just wondering how they're doing." Peridot said pushing her knees up to her chest wrapping her arms around them.

Amethyst sighed as she patted her friends back. "Ah, don't let it get to you. It sucks about what happened to lapis but at least Jasper can't hurt anyone right?"

"…Right." Peridot said as a lone tear made its way down her face.

(With Jasper.)

When she reformed Jasper was instantly put on guard as a gun was aimed at her gem. Looking up at her attacker the brute like gem stared into the angry eyes of Kate as the woman growled at her.

"What the fuck were you thinking bringing her back here?!" Kate yelled looking towards Jack demanding an explanation.

"She was lying in the sand with her gem starting to crack the hell was I supposed to do leave her there to die!" Jack said giving Kate a glare of his own.

Jasper reached up and gently touched her gem, instead of feeling the hardness of it she instead felt something rough wrapped around it. She winced seconds later as her form flickered for a second. She held a hand to her head clutching her hair as she realized what this meant, the diamonds wouldn't want a cracked gem who would hinder their empire. Cracked gems would eventually shatter if nothing was keeping them together coupled with the fact that the gems abilities and strengths were weakened didn't improve their survival rate either. As far as she knew Peridot had perished in the crash, or worse had been captured by the remnants of Roses army. A lone tear made its way down her face as the brute continued her negative thoughts as her captors continued to argue.

"WILL BOTH OF YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP!" A third voice yelled startling the three as a blur came into the room.

"I can't sleep if you two are arguing like a married couple!" Ashe said as she started to butt heads with Kat and Jack.

As this was going on Ben made his way into the kitchen he took one look at his arguing friends and sister and another at Jasper.

"…Welcome to the family want some coffee?"
