Chapter 10: The Metal General
(All art belongs to their respective owners.)
(Omega)"I forgot to mention. SE-2006 sounds like the 2003 version of General Grievous. And if you don't know what that sounds like, here's an example."
(Omega)"Also, if you want to know how big the Eclipse Dreadnought is compared to other Gem ships, here's one called the Destiny Destroyer."
(Omega)"Let's say it's the same size as a Star Destroyer, and with that..."
(Omega)"There you have it. Now on with the story!"
(On The Eclipse Dreadnought)
The flagship required over half a million Gems.
Crew: 5 Nephrites-250,000 Quartzes-150,000 Rubies-500 Peridots-100-Bismuths-Misc
Rooms: Control Room-Engine Room-Cargo Hold-Holding Cells
(SE-2006)"What is the current status of our ground troops?"
(Nephrite)"We've lost the cloud arena, but reclaimed the Sea Shrine. 2% of the rebel's army was destroyed with the firing of the main laser, and Yellow Diamond's reinforcements drove out the organic soldiers from the desert."
In order to bolster their ranks, Rose Quartz had convinced multiple tribes of Humans, the organic life native to Earth, to assist her. The desert tribe called "Egyptians" had been the easiest to wipe out, for they were suffering from multiple issues like sickness, destruction of crops, and their water supply was mysteriously changed into blood.
(Black)"Excellent, things are going well."
SE suddenly received a message on his screen.
(SE-2006)"Report."
(Ruby)"This is Ruby-1F4 Cut-4ND, we're being overwhelmed at the Communication Hub! We need reinforcements immediately! T he-!"
The message was abruptly cut off.
(Black)"Hm...we need the Communication Hub, but we're stretched out as it is already."
(SE-2006)"Black, I suggest you deploy me into battle."
(Black)"You?"
(SE-2006)"I have enough weaponry to fight off hundreds of Gems at once, and with my fast processor, I can calculate battle strategies in a matter of seconds. We have a few Cluster Gems, and if anything were to happen, there is a number of spare bodies."
(Black)"That's true...alright, you will take the 2 strongest Cluster Gems to the Communication Hub. Wipe out all the rebels in the area, and leave none in one piece."
(SE-2006)"At once, Black Diamond."
Along with checking the data of Gems, Black can also alter it to a certain extent. He used the shards of some Crystal Gem prisoners, and made them 100% obedient to all Homeworld Gems, at the cost of what's left of their broken minds.
They took one giant escape pod to the Communication Hub, which was in a vast desert, which plant life strangely resembling a Peridot's head.
(SE-2006's POV)
The number of Crystal Gems to Homeworld Gems was about 10 to 7, an easy fight.
(SE-2006)"Clusters, have at them."
The Fusion experiments charged forward, and tore some rebels to pieces. Using the tractor beam from my hands, I lifted a large stone, and flung it an enemy Demantoid, a Garnet general.
I detected something restrain my arms, turning my head 180 degrees, I could see that it was a Crystal Gem Agate. Agates are mainly used to be in charge of important installations, such as Black Diamond's Zoo.
(Agate)"Ha! I have you now!"
(SE-2006)"Correction: I have YOU now."
One of my fingers touched the whip, and sent an electric current through so intense, that it destabilized the Gem's body.
The experiments made short work of the rebels, only 2 left. An Amethyst, and a Pyrope, another type of Garnet.
They looked at eachother, and made physical contact. In a few moments, their bodies combined in a mass of light, and took on a new form. They now had 4 arms, 4 eyes, and were 30 feet tall.
(SE-2006)"Unknown Gem Type, who are you?"
The collosal Gem summoned a large mace and said,
(Sugilite)"We are Sugilite!"
With their size, they easily overpowered the Cluster Gems and destabilized them. They turned their attention to the Homeworld soldiers, and launched them back with a simple stomp alone.
(Sugilite)"You guys can't handle me!"
The Ruby who called for backup, her gemstone was were her left eye would be, summoned a small chisel knife, and jumped off the pillar, and stabbed the fusion's leg with determination.
She was one of the first Gems to be transferred to the Black Division. Although Rubies were not the smartest Gem, this one was a devoted soldier, and like those in Black's Inner Circle, the form of military commanders, she would never let the thought of going against her Diamond cross her mind. Not for fear of being shattered, but for her undying respect and admiration. Perhaps she might have a seat in the Inner Circle, if she survives today.
(Sugilite)"HAHAHA! How weak!"
(Ruby)"Weak, huh? Then...how about this!?"
This 'Sugilite' was definitely strong, but she clearly didn't think out the danger of a fusion so big. The Pyrope's gemstone was on her left hip, right were Ruby had latched onto. She thrust the chisel into the stone, taking a good chunk out of it.
Sugilite howled in pain as her body 'glitched' out, her arms fell limp and lifeless.
(SE-2006)"Good, now it is time to end the combat."
I found the largest stone in the area, and hurled it at full speed, reducing the gemstones to powder.
(SE-2006)"Mission accomplished."
(Meanwhile)
(Hematite)"So that's what will happen......yes, I understand...I will inform her...at once."
I heard footsteps behind me, just like he said.
(Rose Quartz)"Hematite, who were you speaking to?"
(Hematite)"I had just received a message, our attack on the Communication Hub was a disaster."
(Rose Quartz)"And...none survived?"
(Hematite)"Sadly, only a few scouts caught sight the chaos. But, I have some news. In a few more years, Black will come down from his ship. If we capture him, then the war's over!"
(Rose Quartz)"What? How did you know that?"
(Hematite)"Garnet was able to see far enough in the future."
(Rose Quartz)"Well then, we need to keep pushing Black until he decides to fight us!"
(Hematite)"Yes, we'll just have to fight harder..."
And then, when the time comes, I'll do what has to be done.
Get ready Black, I'll be ready for ya!
