Fusion Breakdown

Day 4 of Gemsona Week!

Fusion Friday writing prompt for Crystal Gem Rebels. Had a lot of fun doing this one. I’m kinda really late, but I haven’t written for my own enjoyment in a long time. Enjoy! 

Silence can be deafening when you're on a hunt. Especially when it's an awkward silence between your partner a few steps behind you. The green gem has spent the past few hours without making a single sound. It isn't completely out of place when compared with the past few days of her silence. Looking at Talc, her head is down in deep thought. The other gem turns her face back toward the path, breaking the silence between the two.

“I don't know what has gotten into you in these past few days.” Banded Carnelian pauses, “If you don't wanna talk that's fine but, we need to work together on this mission in order for it to be successful.”

Carnelian glances over to her to see if there's any reaction. Unfortunately, there's none. Just a blank face mindlessly stepping forward one by one. Sighing, she shakes her head and goes to face the path once again when a scream shakes the birds out of the trees. Perking up, Carnelian grabs Talc by the wrist and runs to the source of the sound. They barely manage to run 20 feet when they almost fall down a cliff. A scream echoes across the rift in the dirt and rock once again. Looking across the small canyon a man panics over a woman dangling from the edge, clinging onto a quickly breaking rope.

“The rope, it's weak in several places. Talc! We need to get over there now!” She points to the rope and holds her hand out. “I think Titanite can make the jump to the other side. We need to fuse,”

Talc grabs Banded Carnelian’s hand and is pulled into her. Immediately they begin to dissolve into light before it wavers and breaks apart.

Carnelian falls to the ground and whips around to see Talc shaking on her knees. Carnelian pauses and concern fills her mind for a split second. “What's wrong?”

“I-I-I'm not g-good enough for this!” Talc yells out in frustration, folding in on herself, “I wasn't made to go on rescue missions or fight others! I wasn't made to last this long! I was made for picking up the remnants of battle and gems!”

Banded Carnelian is stunned for a moment, before kicking it into gear, scrambling to hug her and comfort her as best as she can.

“Talc! You are strong and wonderful! Please believe me! We are not on Homeworld anymore. This is our home and it's our job to protect it. If you were bad at protecting and saving we wouldn't be here!”

“Y-you really think that?” Talc blinks away the tears and looks up.

“Yes! You're amazing with or without us. Now is the time to protect with us.”

“What if I mess it up again? What if the fusion falls apart mid-battle? What if-”

“Stop,” Carnelian puts a hand to Talc’s mouth, “This will turn out fine. As long as you stop worrying and just trust me. Do you trust me?”

No response was given. Just a hug back. Carnelian squeezes back harder in response and assurance. Not even a moment later white light fills the area. When it fades, the figure left behind stands up quickly and turns to face the rift in the ground.

“I know what I need to do now,” she says to herself as she steps back before taking a running leap over the deep crack. Mid-air she lets out a light hearted laugh and smile. She slides on the ground after landing and holds out her arms for balance. Swiftly, in one fluid motion, the fusion grabs the ropes and not a second too late before it completely snaps. Pulling the human up and into her arms, she gently sets the human down next to the other standby. The woman asks “Who are you?”

“I’m Titanite,”

“Wha-”, before the woman can finish her question Titanite hugs herself, turns and leaves them to their own devices, ready to go home in comfort of knowing her components are happy.

-----

When the fusion returns to the cave she collapses onto a couch laughing even more. Titanite breaks apart and the two gems hold each other, laughing in sync before falling asleep. After that emotionally exhausting act, they deserve to relax.

-----

Ulexite walks in at dusk to see the two gems curled up on the couch together. With a sigh and a smile, she covers them with blankets, but not before sitting down next to them and passing out herself.

Day 3 of Gemsona Week! 

Day of the Diamonds 2.0 gives us a prompt to create a diamond not shown yet. I really didn’t want to put my Pink Diamond ideas into art in fear of disappointment when PD actually shows up, but I did anyway! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (It looks better when enlarged, I promise.)

PS. She’s obviously not an OC gemsona of mine. I just designed the outfit. :)

Day 2 of gemsona week!

The second day brings us the Mother of Memes prompt. Here’s a “draw the squad meme”!

My digital drawing program kept crashing which is why this is fully traditional art. If it continues to crash, it will be the death of me to continue this week...

Day 1 of Gemsona Week!

Inspired by the Timeskip meme, here are the groups' outfits from their Homeworld days to now. I am so glad I can finally start this blog and put my gemsonas out there!
