The shadow assassin (steven universe reader-insert)

Chapter 37.

Pearl: Who knows what sort of destruction an unstable fusion like Malachite could cause?

Garnet: Alright, Gems. Pearl, Amethyst, and I will warp to Mask Island. Y/N, Steven, it's too dangerous for you both. You two stay here and watch after the drill with Peridot and Iron. Let's go, Gems! To the nearest warp pad!

Amethyst & Pearl: To the nearest warp pad!

You: Hold on!!

You yelled at the crystal gems and you stand up with your diamond eyes. Everyone is shocked from your form.

You: I'll coming with you.

Garnet: Y/N it's dangerous down there, you can get seriously hurt.

Amethyst: Yeah dude! It's best for you to stay here with steven and iron, right?

You: No! That's not right! I promised to myself I will save lapis and shatter jasper myself. And besides, I have black diamond's gem, the strongest gem in existence, with my powers I can help you guys on taking down malachite easily.

Pearl: I really hate to say it but amethyst is right for once y/n. Your gem is a diamond. And the diamonds are the most powerful gems out there, we still don't know what it is capable of. Heck, what if you you loose your mind and attack us? It will do more harm than good.

Iron: I suggest you let y/n go with you.

Pearl: What?! Iron, y/n has a diamond on his chest! If y/n gets angry he'll do more harm than good to us.

Iron: Do you even have faith or trust on him? If you do, let him go with you and let him save that lapis lazuli.

Iron: (raises an eyebrow*) Well?

The crystal gems looked at each other then looked at you. Garnet nodded, and Amethyst and Pearl sighs in defeat.

Garnet: Very well. Y/N, you can come with us.

You light up a little and smiled.

You, Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl then run off, panting, and warp away on a warp pad out-of-view. As soon as they are gone, another tremor occurs.

Time Skip*

Iron, Steven and Peridot are sitting and discussing on the mattress.

Peridot: So... Lazuli has Jasper trapped in a fusion? You're joking me.

Steven: It's true! But Lapis must be getting tired from fighting Jasper for so long.

Peridot: Just being on a ship with Jasper made me tired, but it doesn't explain it to me why a lapis lazuli can hold on to a jasper in the first place?

Iron: Unless, she's an era 1 lapis lazuli.

Steven: Era 1? what does lapis and era 1 have to do with this?

Peridot: I don't know, Ask her. (peridot points at iron*)

Iron: Well, era 1 lapis lazuli's are very valuable back at the time.

Steven: Why?

Iron: It was estimated that one era 1 lapis lazuli with it's full power can terraform a planet, but most era 1 lapis lazuli can terraform that is earth like size planets.

Steven: Yeah, but why are they valuable exactly?

Iron: Because they are really hard to make. They are mostly created on a planet that is 80% water.

Another tremor occurs, and Steven stands up with concerns.

Steven: Ah! I gotta help them! But they told me it was too dangerous.
