Trying to Smile Again Continued (Steven UniverseUniverse Fic)

Part Eight Chapter Three: White's Head

Garnet and Pearl:
They walked along carefully through the halls. They would here gems walking by, then quickly hide. There were many Obsidians still afoot. They stopped around a bend, peering around to check for gems. There were two Obsidians talking about something.

"Ok Pearl, we have to be quiet. We need to get past them, so we'll need to shapeshift," Garnet explained.

Pearl nodded, and was ready on cue... but then their communicator turned on and Amethyst and Spinel appeared.

"GUYS, WE KNOW WHERE IT IS," Spinel screamed.

The Obsidians quickly turned their heads to the source of the sound and ran over. Once they turned the bend, no one was in sight.

"I swear I heard something," the one said.

"I swear, you keep doing this! Are you overcooked or something," the other said as they walked off.

Garnet and Pearl sighed in relief. They had jumped up to the ceiling and perched there selves up there. Well, Garnet perched herself up there and held Pearl. She jumped down and put Pearl down too.

"Sorry," Spinel whispered.

"It's ok," Pearl sighed. "What is it?"

"We know where the bottle is. But... it's not in a great and easy spot."

Pearl and Garnet looked at each other, a worried expression on their faces. Of course it wasn't gonna be easy, but they hoped that it could've been. "Ok, where is it," Garnet asked.

"In White's ship," Amethyst told them. "We'll meet you there!"

They hung up and Garnet took the device and handed it to Pearl. She put it in her gem and then held her chin.

"How are we gonna go about this," Pearl wondered. "Maybe we could just waltz up there... but what if gems see us?"

Garnet crossed her arms and leaned against the nearest wall. She was thinking of a plan as well. Last time they did this, they caused a big ruckus. But, the Diamonds were present last time, and a part of that cause. Maybe they could get up there... slightly unnoticed.

"We need to be quick," Garnet said. "Spinel can stretch us up there, but it may take awhile. Once up there, we'll take it and leave."

Pearl nodded and thought a moment. "What if there's trouble?"

Garnet shifted her visor and smiled. "I don't see any possible struggle... I think."

Pearl nodded cautiously and followed Garnet. Once again they maneuvered carefully to the ship. They managed to get to the base of it, and waited for Amethyst and Spinel.

They arrived shortly after, but they seemed panicked. Spinel grabbed them both and hid them behind a rock.

"What are you-"

They both shushed Pearl and peeked above the rock. Garnet and Pearl followed their action and gasped quietly. Three Obsidians followed Spinel and Amethyst!

"Search the perimeter! Find them," the one that seemed in command ordered.

They started to look around. They broke stuff, basked stuff, and threw stuff... basically they destroyed shit! They looked all around, getting closer and closer to the gems.

"What do we do," Amethyst questioned.

Garnet frowned and looked above the rock. "We outnumber them, we could take em. Only problem is they're tough."

The Obsidians started to make their way to the rock. They looked around and nodded at one another. "They must be here."

The Obsidian was about to look, until...

"I have a plan," Garnet said.

A bright light was emanating from behind the rock. Then a figure started to appear. The fusion quickly gained three limbs on each side and roared out. The Obsidians gulped and looked up at the fusion. The fusion's form could finally be seen as the light subsided. It was Alexandrite!

"Haha, you guys are so screwed," Spinel mocked. (Anyone know the reference XD) The Obsidians glared at her and she yelped, retreating back to her rock.

The Obsidians moved closer to Spinel, but stopped when Alexandrite blew fire. The two Obsidians ran away quickly but their captain stayed. "Where are you pebbles going?!" The Obsidian snarled but then quivered when the ground shook. She saw the shadow of Alexandrite and turned around slowly. Alexandrite towered over her with a stern look. "Hehe... hey-"

Alexandrite stomped on the gem, easily poofing it. Alexandrite then turned to Spinel and lent down her hand. Spinel peeked over hesitantly, scared to see any more Obsidians. She smiled and hopped on, clinging on for the ride.

Alexandrite looked up at the ship and prepared to jump. She lunged in the air, and clung onto the ship. So much for quiet! She started climb, Spinel hanging on tight. Some gems notice the fusion and looked up, some didn't care.

Finally, Alexandrite reached the top. She let Spinel in first, then followed after her. Alexandrite unfused and the gems were back.

"You guys were great," Spinel cheered.

"Thanks," Pearl said. "But now we have to grab the bottle!"

They all looked up to White's throne and gasped. The bottle was there, but in the clutches of a gem! It was a gem they met before. The leader of all the Obsidians... Obsidian!

"Well, what do we have here," she grinned wide and wickedly. "I don't know why you'd come to me. It's weird, unexpected, and I know you would never be this dumb!" Obsidian tossed the bottle in the air, catching it as she did so.

Garnet stood up and glared at her, taking out her gauntlets. "Give is that bottle!"

Obsidian smirked, and clenched it tightly. "Or what?! Why do you need this!" She grew wide eyes and smirked. "Oh I see... yourself missing someone you know. The best member of your team." Obsidian was starting to connect the dots. "What are you gonna do without your little Steven? What would happen if he stayed corrupted?" She laughed and fell back in her chair.

Spinel growled and clenched her fists. "Hey bitch! Give us that or else!"

Obsidian raised a brow and stopped laughing. She peered down at the pink gem and growled. "What did you just say?!"

Spinel glared right back unfazed. "I called ya a bitch! Or are ya too deaf to hear that?!"

Obsidian frowned and muttered something. "Fine! You want it..." She snapped her fingers, and a horde of 50 or so Obsidian soldiers came out from everywhere! They were hiding, and waited for their cue. "Come and get it!"
