Chapter 22: Retrieval
Your POV
I am currently walking to White's room. A few days without mission is just so boring. Upon my arrival in her chamber, she turned around and smiled and walked towards me. I wonder what I'm gonna do.
White Diamond: Hello Painite. How are you?
Y/N: Well...I just fell from a ten story drop. And I just blew up. But if you have something for me to do. Then I'll do it right away just for you.
She just smiled and walked closer and knelt down.
Y/N: So what exactly do you want me to do?
White Diamond: I need you in my bed.
*beep*
Take 2
White Diamond: I need you to retrieve an artifact. It could be...dangerous if it is in the wrong hands.
Y/N: What does it do exactly?
White Diamond: Just like how the Prisms work but much, much more dangerous and violent. I cannot do anything unless someone activates it. You will need to take before something catastrophic happens.
Y/N: (*nods*) I'll go and soon as I find the artifact I'll come back.
White Diamond: You will be provided a ship and clearance to pass the guards in the area.
I then left her chambers and headed for a ship. I went to the docking area and went inside the ship. I typed in the location
Sector G-HF305. Then the ship launched and entered hyperspeed. Took a few minutes to reach my destination but I arrived nonetheless.
As the ship landed on the ground I walked out and found the cave guarded by a battalion of Citrine Guards. They all went into a fighting stance with their weapons out. And then three Citrines stepped out, must be the leaders.
Citrine General: State your business here.
Y/N: I am Painite. White Diamond sent me here to retrieve the artifact inside that cave. And I beleive that she gave me clearance. Correct?
Citrine Lieutenant: And why should we believe you? Maybe you're just trying to take the artifact for your own benefit.
Y/N: You do know that I'm not that type of gem. I don't disobey what the Diamonds say. If they give me an order, I do it.
Citrine Captain: If we couldn't do it, what makes you think you can? You are all alone and maybe you can't even get past one of the traps.
Y/N: And that, is the reason why I'm here. You couldn't do it and White Diamond decided to send me instead because she knew that it'll only take longer if she doesn't send someone who can do it.
The captain the clenched her fist and was about to punch me. I just sighed and caught her fist.
Y/N: I came here to retrieve an artifact. NOT...gem shards.
Some gems took a step back when they heard my voice becoming demonic.
Y/N: So if you don't want to be in pieces. Then motherfucker let me through.
Then they all looked at each other and all of them nodded and made a path for me. I let go of the captain's hand and helped her up. I just activated the light projection since the cave is pitch black. I walked in and kept looking at the painted cave walls.
A lot of strange symbols, glyphs, and statues. I accidentally stepped on a plate releasing blade pendulums. I jumped back and I ran forward and was almost hit by one of the blade luckily I stopped right on time.
I finally made it out of the swinging doom. I then entered a room where I have to find out the correct color. Then I read an engraving in one of the walls:
It must die, for the life to return
Then the floor slowly drops and I started searching for something that could make a color green.
I opened one of the compartments and found four of what seems to be colored glass. There's red, blue, yellow, and black.
I tried them all in the slot and nothing seems to work. I am running out of floor to step on just then I had an idea. I put the yellow glass inside the slot then thw blue glass. Then all the floor came back up and opened an entrance
I then entered another room and I almost got crushed and teared apart when I just entered by a spiked piston. I started running for my dear life and was about to get hit by another piston and luckily I made it out in time.
I took a second to catch my breath. God these traps are intense. Then I entered another room and saw that there were holes and spikes come out of it every two seconds. I then felt lazy as hell and decided to fly over it.
And finally I found the artifact.
Imagine that the ring around the artifact is a force field.
It's just sitting in the middle of the enormous room surrounded by a force field. I can touch it with my bare hands. It could instantly poof me.
I kept thinking of a way to get the artifact without poofing myslef. Then I decided to petrify my hand and grab the artifact. I slowly made my hand go through the force field. And it's working. It's actually working. I gently grabbed onto the artifact and slowly pulled carefully. Not damaging the artifact.
And finally the artifact is out. I removed the petrify effect in my arm. I examines the artifact and it is surprisingly just like the prism, but the three combined together. I finally knew why White needed me to retrieve this.
White needed to keep this from anyone using this against the gemkind. Good thing she did make me retrieve it. When I was about to leave with the artifact. It started to pulse energy and formed a large entity. A blinding light surrounded the enronous room and at the same process it made an explosion sending me flying to a wall.
I got my senses straight and looked up to see something...powerful and terrifying
Imagine that the artifact is at the middle of the golem and he's got the same voice like Samuel Hayden from Doom 2016. Yes he is a robotic bitch but I have to admit his voice is awesome.
???: For thousands and thousands of years many have come to this cave to attempt to have me as their tool. But never have I seen that you, only came here to keep others from using me as a weapon.
Y/N: I'm only doing what's right. I only want to keep others safe. And you have been treated like a weapon this whole time. You have been used for evil. You are a being, a being with it's own mind. You deserve to be free.
???: I have never thought that there are those who come here only want me to be a weapon. But you, actually want me to be free. I will serve under you, if you prove to be my time.
I then summoned my gauntlets and the entity's shoulder started to glow. Then I realized what it was doing. I ran and the light suddenly shot a ray light. Like a giant lazer. Then it attempted to crush me using it's hands and luckily I moved out of the way.
I jumped on it's back and started hitting it. My weapons are doing nothing. And then it summoned another lazer and this time it was in front of me and it fired faster. I just crossed my arms in front of me and I got lauched back when the lazer hit me. And the next thing I knew is that I was on the ground.
The entity then slowly approached me while I was immobilized. He's too strong for me alone.
???: Tell me. Who do you fight for?
Y/N: My friends and loved ones.
???: Why do you fight for them?
Y/N: Because they are the reason that for the very first time, I felt happy. I made an oath to protect them
???: Why do you still fight when even when everyone treats you badly?
Y/N: Because I want to protect everything and everyone I know. I don't need any gratitude. I only wanted to be treated as a real person
Then silence filled the room and the entity is just looking down at me.
???: You are worth the time after all. I have never seen such a noble soul, who only wants what is better for others and doesn't expect greatness. But only respect. You have earned my service.
I then stood up and streched. That blast got me good.
Y/N: Hey since you are now free. Mind telling me a name?
???: I have had one in mind for a long time.
Y/N: Let's hear it.
???: Bismarck. My name is Bismarck.
Y/N: Cool, just like the best battleship of the Kriegs Marine
We then walkes out of the cave and when we got out the Citrine toom their weapons out and took a stance.
Y/N: WOAH WOAH WOAH TAKE IT EASY!!! He's on my side!
Then the Citrine General spoke up.
Citrine General: What is it?
Y/N: "It" has a name. Tell them
Bismarck: Greetings, my name is Bismarck
Citrine Captain: IT SPEAKS?!?!
Y/N: Again "it" has a name. Now that he's free you can comeback to homeworld now that there's nothing to guard here.
After what I said some Citrines cheered and the three leaders thanked me. Good thing I had the Diamond Line with me. I contacted White and requested for a another ship.
After that all the Citrines boarded the ship that just arrived. I was about to board mine when I realize that Bismarck might be too big.
Y/N: How can you fit in here?
Bismarck: I could revert back to my artifact form and follow you.
I just nodded and he went back inside his artifact form and we both boarded the ship and set a course for Homeworld. The ship launched into space and went to hyper speed.
We arrived at Homeworld's docking area and we both went outside. Bismarck turned back to his original form and earned a few gazes from other gems. We both walked to the Diamond Throne Room while Bismarck was walking behind me.
I decided to suprise White. When I entered the room I saw White along with Yellow and Blue. I then saluted and gave White a sly smile.
White Diamond: Where's the artifact Painite?
Y/N: Oh right. Come in big guy!
The Bismarck entered suprsing the three Gem Matriarchs. White just smiled and walked towards it and examines it.
White Diamond: Well it certainly seems that he serves under you. You can have him as a friend and ally. This is your reward.
Y/N: Heard that Bismarck? We're gonna be friends.
Bismarck: I agree with the idea. Now if you'll excuse me, I'd like to have some rest.
He then reverted back to his artifact form and fell on my hands. I said goodbye to the Diamonds and headed for my chamber. It looks like I made a formidable ally and a great friend.
And Finished
It took me a while but I still did. It's midnight and I am tired as heck. But the fact that you guys enjoy my story, is already a good payment that an author of a book can ask for.
It reminds me of my time before I started doing wattpad. All I ever wanted back then is to be happy of what I make. I didn't expect that thousands more would like what I do. Even if I wasn't all happy of what I make and when I feel so tired.
You guys are just so understanding that you give me an opportunity to step back and come back to hit it harder than ever. If it wasn't for you I wouldn't have the motivation to keep making this. So from the bottom of my heart thank you all so much.
This is YoBoyMcFly and I will see you all in the next chapter.
Mcfly signing off.
