Chapter 27: Hero Types

Chapter 27: Hero Types

~Liam POV~

Oh boy, this is going to be a good way to destroy the faith in the Crystal Gems.

And what else with the truth.

The complete and unbiased truth.

And with Lapis listening in to the whole thoughts of Garnet throughout our talks and her attempts to fight back I made it easier for her to sway her to my side.

Plus the exposure will make Lapis come to my side the easier.

Have to hand it though.

The Heroes are making this easy for me to do and I didn't do much, to begin with.

All of this is going to lead to mental breakdown…

Hard.

And it's all Pink Diamond's fault as well.

She certainly made it all very easy and how to destroy her creditability for good.

Profit from this downfall would be good for me.

Pink Diamond is NOT bad per se.

The movie was for proving that Pink Diamond is an absolute selfish, uncaring, and heartless diamond. People were all thinking that she made mistakes, she didn't have to do some horrible things or she had terrible behavior.

To which I can agree with as the signs showed it herself.

Prime victim number one.

Pink Pearl is the original victim.

She got her eye of her pearl cracked because of her.

The crack on her left eye was caused after Pink Diamond was very upset with the outcome and answer of her asking White Diamond to give her a colony, though the injury happened as she was standing near her when she screamed.

Spinel the forgotten Gem.

Pink Diamond abandoned Spinel because she found her grating and overwhelming and Pink... wanted to feel like she was moving forward. This Gem was given to her to placate her in a certain way, and she was ready to move on.

But at the cost of leaving her most loyal ally in the process of being selfish and not growing up.

Besides she's a fucking Diamond.

They are all fucking assholes that deserve to die.

I agree with Bismuth destroying them.

A most dramatic example of Pink Diamond's big, consistent problem of treating other intelligent beings as lesser-than and disposable. Beating up Pink Pearl, abandoning Spinel, and enslaving humans are different examples of her exhibiting the same pathology as the other Diamonds.

Actually, facing the consequences of her past sins was something she avoided, which caused constant trouble for her son Steven.

Fucking coward in that regard.

Whether or not redemption is possible, however, there is still the question of whether forgiveness is always achievable or deserved.

Even with Pink Pearl now dealing with her trauma, Pink Diamond's left scars that might not ever heal.

*Splash*

Garnet was now stuck with Lapis holding her down in the air as she struggled but not before I asked her a question first, "Before I go ahead and break the truth to you Garnet I'm willing to leave Steven be… for a deal."

Her eyes narrowed at me as Lapis held her on the spot as she grits her teeth at me as she spoke to me, "What deal. What is it do you want from me."

Smiling a bit at her I wish I could've done things differently but with Garnet here predicting the future that basically screws me over my initial plans.

Get the items I need and take Steven Gem to create a Diamond using the Injectors here on Earth on a wasteland planet version for it to plant a New Diamond that isn't disobedient.

But seeing how she saw the future changed things differently on how I should approach this problem.

Since I can still do it I better not do it just to ensure Garnet hands over her ability.

Future Vision.

Garnet can see multiple future outcomes and probabilities with her third eye.

This includes extremely unlikely and ridiculous outcomes, as a considerable amount of her available visions depict Steven's and possibly other individuals' demise at the hands of mundane tasks or objects regularly. Future vision must be used consciously and takes some time to use, as Garnet has been shown in a thinking position when activating it.

Garnet must also consciously seek out specific details and judge which possible futures are most probable, which means she can overlook some possibilities, such as Pearl deceiving her for one.

Still a good ability to have for me.

But also just as bad but it could help me out.

Getting closer to her and revealing what I wanted with Lapis making sure she doesn't leave I ask what I wanted, "Give me your ability to see to the future. I know you can transfer it. Don't bother even denying it. Do this and I promise that I won't harm your Steven. Hell, I will even give you a tip on the truth before I bring the rest."

She grits her teeth at me before hearing this wavering her options it seems before she finally replies to me, "No."

Damn it.

Oh well.

You win some and you lose some I suppose.

Shrugging at this I guess she's just bitter right now.

Shaking my head at this I guess there are times I won't get what I want as I glanced towards Lapis, "Sigh… very well then. Lapis can you hold her till I get the people to shed some light of the Crystal Gems."

She nodded at this as I open a portal here.

*Vroom*

Like that, I still need to get Lapis attacker that poofed her time to make a small visit here before Pearl.

…

…

*Vroom*

Exiting outside the portal I'm now inside the Pink Dimension.

The Pink Dimension is a pocket dimension only Pink Diamond has access to as I made sure to get everything I need from this place.

The Pink Dimension is a vast savannah with tall pink meadows that stretches to a tall pine taffy-colored tree that resembles an acacia tree, which is atop a grassy hill. Beneath and within the tree are Rose Quartz's most treasured possessions.

The Dimension has no apparent end and goes as far as the horizon.

While Gems are seen to be capable of traversing within the Dimension with no complication, there is no atmosphere in the Dimension, forcing organics such as Steven and Connie to hold their breath before entering the Dimension.

Using my Magic Compass, the first thing I did was find Bismuth as the compass did its magic as I didn't waste any time.

*Fwoosh*

Running at full speeds ahead I began to use my inhumane speeds running across the land as I use Telekinesis to pick up anything relevant here inside this dimension following the compass arrowhead.

Finding useless stuff I managed to find Rose's VHS tape for Steven, a treasure chest, a damaged flag with her symbol on it, a photo of Greg and Rose, and an XXL Mr. Universe Shirt.

All of these items are practically useless for me here because of the lack of things here but I continue onward holding my breath as I found an interesting weapon here.

Rose Sword.

The sword had a slightly dark pink with a hint of red pommel resembling a rosebud with rose quartz embedded in it. The guard and knuckle bow of the sword were pink with the guard having an image of a four-petaled white flower in the middle.

The grip was a dark pink, and the grip, guard, and knuckle bow were inscribed with a twirling thorn design. The sword's cupped hilt and broad blade with its tantō tip were reminiscent of a 17th-century military cutlass.

Hmm…

This could come in handy against elemental beings that use Light to stay in the physical realm.

Might come in handy.

I could search for its scabbard later.

Taking as my sidearm for the time being I managed to use my compass as it began to point to me where the item I desire is located at.

It pointed me towards the bubbled crystal Gem of Bismuth as I took it with me.

Now then…

Teleporting away from my spot I began to return to the entrance of the Pink Dimension where I first began next I open up my portal.

*Vroom*

Seeing the green portal I began to enter through again.

…

…

*Vroom*

Exiting outside the portal I revealed the Gem Bismuth to Lapis as her eyes shined a bit at it before I popped it open, "Here you go Lapis. Bismuth was the one that poof you. Have fun."

Just like that, the Gem began to form as Lapis waited patiently at the Gem to form.

Bismuth has a large, bulky body type with broad shoulders and a strong, flat chest that is wider than her lower body. She is very tall and her legs are noticeably shorter compared to her arms. Her hair is styled in several locks in a mixture of several bright tones, all held back by a lilac headband.

She wears a black apron-like outfit, resembling a blacksmith, with a single brownish attachment and a pinkish-red star-shaped belt around her waist. Her pants are a burgundy color, and she has dark brown boots.

She began to wake up to see us as she questions what was going on here Garnet saw in shock of her friend, "Ugh… what exactly happen? Is the Crystal Gem Rebellion still active? Are the rest of the Gems… what?"

Lapis glares at Bismuth as the large amounts of water began to focus at her as she commanded me to leave but also thanks, "Bismuth… I remember you all too clearly… you were the one who poof me during your stupid rebellion. Liam was it? Take your time I'll be sure to take mine with her."

Ohh…

Scary.

But not unreasonable really because she is out for blood.

Eh…

I guess out for photon lights that construct them, but I guess it's no real issue.

Bismuth wasn't one to understand that her very being is in danger as she saw Garnet trapped inside Lapis water construct, she readies herself with bravery, "Garnet! Well damn if I had to go against a Lapis Lazuli to save my friends then I guess I'm going to put up a great fight!"

Right, I forgot Lapis might be at a disadvantage here if she fought against the two.

Especially since one of them knows how to use Electro-kinesis.

*Zzzz*

And lo and behold as Garnet uses her gauntlets to release a stream of lightning evaporating the water trapping her as she frees herself, "Argh! No more games Liam! I won't let you and Lapis do as you please. And I won't let you go further towards Pearl, Amethyst, and Steven!"

Sigh…

Hero types.

Why do they have to make things so over-complicated for me?

Revealing Rose Sword as Bismuth and Garnet's eyes widen at this as I openly mock them, "Sigh. Why do you hero types are so annoying? Can't learn the meaning of defeat without trying first huh?"

Taking a swordsman stance as the two Crystal Gems are getting ready I see the probability of Amethyst and Pearl entering after such a commotion.

So, in the end, it will be 4 vs 2 if the fight is getting to be prolonged.

Such a drag.

But I won't have to hold back this time using my powers and abilities to the fullest.

Might as take it as an exercise to see how much the surgery did to my body.

Test trial one time to begin.

Quick Vote.

Do you want something painful to happen to Steven leaving his Gem intact?

Or

The MC goes all in taking the Gem from Steven to die.
