The shadow assassin (steven universe reader-insert)

Chapter 44.

Rose: Arrow don't be stupid! If I kill you, I basically kill the leader of the fallen!

Arrow: Then let Emilia be the next emperor if I die fighting you!

Arrow couldn't take it anymore. Arrow jump at rose while rose just dodge it throwing arrow to a tree.

Rose: Arrow, there is no way for you to beat me. Humans just don't have the strength and toughness to do it.

Rose explained to arrow why arrow wouldn't accept it. Rose walked to arrow and arrow looked at her with a struggling face.

Arrow:..(whispering*) Shut it and fight me like an enemy rose...

Rose: I won't. Because you are not as strong as me and you never will.

Arrow felt pure anger, hatred, vengeance, and determination running through his veins when rose said that. His eyes quickly turn into blood red and he feel much more stronger than usual. Rose wondering why he became quiet all of a sudden, started worrying because she thinks she just hurt his feelings.

Rose: (approach arrow*) Are you okay? (she's starting to get scared*) I didn't mean it you know...

Rose was about to touch arrow but arrow grabs her hand, rose was shocked as arrow tightens his grip and rose couldn't get out. Rose actually didn't mean what she said, she just said it so she can calm arrow down but what she did was the opposite.

Arrow: (with red eyes*) What did you say rose? "Because you are not as strong as me and you never will"? (gets up*) Well.

Arrow looked up at rose with her blood red eyes and rose look at him terrified.

Arrow: Let's just see about that.

Arrow punch rose but rose block it with her shield. The shield released some sort of wave from the crash.

Garnet: Whoa.

Pearl: Holy shit!!

Rose: (struggling*) Arrow stop this this instant!

Arrow: Or what? (grabs his sword from the word*) You're gonna kill me? Good! That's exactly what I want you to do.

Arrow slash his sword and the sword breaks. Rose looked at him with a terrified look witnessing what she just watched. Garnet and pearl seems to be shock as well

Pearl: Did arrow's sword just break?!

Garnet: Yup.

Arrow keep fighting with rage until he eventually disarmed rose. Rose being surprised with such power arrow has, she called garnet and pearl to help her out. Garnet and pearl jumped and started to restrain arrow while rose is catching her breath.

Rose: (panting*) Since when did arrow had an incredible strength like that?!

Pearl: (restraining arrow*) I don't know, arrow how did you became powerful all of a sudden?

Emily then enters with a few soldiers at her side because there is an important news.

Emily: My emperor, you need to see this important message-

Emily is shocked to see the three restraining arrow.

Emily: What are you doing to the emperor?! Guards ready your weapons!

The guards ready their swords and emily unsheathed her sword as well ready to attack the gems. Emilia and the soldiers misunderstood the whole situation. Arrow noticed it and decided to finally stop.

Arrow: (struggling to speak*) Emilia, put down your swords!

Emily: (confused*) Aren't they attacking you my emperor?
