Outlook

Pearl took a breath as she exited the bunker for the fifth time in the night, and walked to the beachside. She stared out into the dead, pink, waters of the ocean, watched the reflection of herself in the waves. Pearl had been doing this for a few weeks now, she would go out and just....take it all in. It was still Incomprehensible to her, Bismuth, Garnet, Little Homeworld, life as she'd known it for those years.....erased.  She looked over to the shadow in the distance and grimaced behind her respirator. In the distance was the crystalized remains of the Cluster, the massive, half-formed amalgam. When it all happened, it was enough to wake the Cluster, It emerged in terror, and never moved again. Pearl hated seeing the beast in the distance, nothing but an old stone ruin of a gem now, not even a hivemind anymore, nothing at all. She turned around and saw the remains of the temple, even now it took her breath away. Even in recent years, it was a beauty, it's old, stones, shining like stars on the beachside. Now, most of it had been completely decayed, almost nothing but a corroded, charred wreck of stone. Her thoughts soon drifted to Steven, the boy she'd give it all for. She had known how scared and concerned he was for a while now, but he wouldn't talk to her about most of it since....Garnet. She breathed in and started to walk back to the bunker doors, trying started to think of any positive outcome, and drew into nothing. Her face hardened as she took off her respirator, and glanced at the same dreary tunnels and sighed.  "Here we are in the Future."

Last one Standing pt 2

      By sundown, Pearl had snapped out of her meddling and looked at the camp with a pair of binoculars. The men were sitting around the campfire talking and seemingly laughing over something. The women were probably in one of the tents.       Settling up her rifle, Pearl waited again. Once the men had their attention on a story that one of them told, she shot. 

Once.

Twice.

      There was panic and the three men scrambled for their weapons but the pale gem got another two easily. The fifth one quickly ran into the tent and moments later he ran out with the women. Another shot and the last one was down.

     She let the women run, they didn’t look like a threat. Pearl waited. It was quiet.

      Then she stood up and hauled her equipment onto her back, easily jumping across the river with her enhanced strength. She walked to the camp and looked at the dead men, killed as swiftly as possible with bullets.

       The raider camp didn’t have a lot of weapons surprisingly. Maybe they started raiding not too long ago... In a part of her mind, she pitied the men that she just shot but they were raiders that came too close to the crystal gem bunker for Pearl’s liking. A small thought ran through Pearl’s head. This was technically also raiding. But, she needed to do this. She needed to protect her family, she needed to keep Steven alive even if it meant stealing food from other humans.

      She packed the things she needed, food, water, medical supplies which were mostly for herself, some weapons, and other stuff that might be useful. She also found their half steel, half metal cart that she put the stuff into. Looking around, the sniper didn’t see anything else of interest and started walking home. Rose was gone for already over 16 years, Bismuth pleaded Pearl to shatter her and got her wish and Garnet was probably long gone in the mind of the corrupted creature.

She was the last original Crystal Gem, She was,

The Last One Standing.

Last one Standing pt1

      The air was heavy with dust, heat radiating off the ground like it was a heater. It was another lonely day in the wasteland that once was a place full of green. Pearl was on another lone mission, another "expedition" in search for food and wiping away some nearby "rodents". 

     She laid in the shadow, in a hole that was under two huge rock slabs. Around them was a poisonous river flowing almost harmlessly. The humans were setting up a camp, it was still afternoon but it was safer than building it at the come of sundown.

     The camp was about....five men and two women. While she waited, the pale gem began to think. How long has it been since this began? She couldn't remember. The days merged together as Pearl's most important goal every day became finding food and water for Steven, find Materials for a space ship, maybe find any sign of Connie and Greg. But her most important goal was to, defend. Her. Friends.

     She already lost Bismuth and....Garnet. Garnet was now a monster. Another crystal gem leader to go down. Now Pearl waited for her turn to meet an end in any way. Thinking of Garnet and Rose, Pearl realized something.

She was the last original Crystal gem

Peridot’s Logs 2

       Earth Date 07/08/2020 0600 hours, I have just finished the sleeping. The Steven insists we all get exactly eight hours of sleep; I think this is preposterous as my superior gem physiology sustains me without this “Sleep”. However not doing anything is kind of nice. I still have no memory from the day before I will playback the logs maybe that will help. The Morp exceeded parameters according to the radiation gauges built into the device, I guess I tested it then. The radiation zone apparently was much larger than initially expected, I included less enriched Uranium in the next micro explosion nodule. Perhaps this time…

      Earth Date 07/08/2020 0630 Lapis is Awake now, I suppose all of them are, the explosion was heard from the bunker. The radiation zone, however, was within acceptable parameters, with a much lower radiation signature on the surroundings. Additionally, the morp to be named a micro explosion nodule velocity infuser appears to be tracking slightly to the left when launched, which should quiet the tall one and her “save the earth” attitude. I need to check on Lapis to see if she remembers anything, the logs from yesterday make it hard for me to tell what happened

      Earth Date 07/08/2020 0700 Lapis is awake and in functional condition, she seems… less than amused to see me. Perhaps whatever happened hurt her yesterday, she said something about needing time to think. -sigh- she gets like that sometimes. I don’t know if I should find go find her or not. Maybe I will go speak to The Steven. The Tall one was, in fact, angry and stormed off toward my recent test sight, the clod always complaining about my morps, like she doesn’t use them…

      Earth Date 07/08/2020 0800 State your name Bzzzttt “Peridot? What is…?” Bzzzttt NO NO NO, My name is Peridot, your name is The Steven, Bzzzttt “Uh Okay, um Steven?” Bzzzttt , was that so hard, Anyways I am here with the Steven, he is making me watch a strange video, apparently, the animal on this planet named the Dogcopter, is capable of flight using rotor blades that emerge from its body. Bzzzttt “Peridot it's just a tv show it's not…” Bzzzttt SHHHH CLOSE YOUR NOISE FLAPS, I AM TRYING TO SEE HOW IT WORKS. NOTE: This warrants future research.

       Earth Date 07/09/2020 0030 I spent the day watching the Dogcopter, I have yet to locate a living version. More importantly, Lapis is still missing, the runt amethyst is also starting to worry. Normally Lapis is not gone this long. And just after we brought her back. The Steven told me to tell the box my feelings, I still don’t know why I should but… I guess it couldn’t hurt. I miss Lapis, I uh, she is a good lab partner and is good at figuring out the morps, and cutting the steel, and well… I guess… Nevermind, BLASTED BOX, WHY ARE YOU SUCH A CLOD. WHY AM I EVEN TALKING TO YOU… DON’T JUDGE ME…

        Earth Date 07/09/2020 0100 Looks like she still isn’t back, I would sleep, but doing nothing is hard when I can’t stop worrying, I guess I could work on the photon focusers that the tall one likes so much for her “solo” missions, we all know she is crazy, only a matter of time before the sickness gets her too. I hope Lapis comes back soon… NOT THAT I MISS THE CLOD, I JUST NEED SPARE PARTS AND DON’T WISH TO BE ALONE. Peridot Out… … … Okay, I think the blasted contraption is off. -sigh- where are you, you clod… I miss you… WAIT IS THIS THING STILL ON… BLASTED, HOW DO I DELETE THIS… Wait, I think I got it… CLICK…

Where is she...?

        "Where is she?!" Amethyst growled, pacing around the bunker. Pearl had disappeared last night and still didn't appear. As much as Amethyst wanted to go out and set something on fire with Lapis, it was Pearl's direct order to stay inside if she wasn't there. Since Garnet's......demise....and the cause of this whole situation, Pearl took the leadership of the group into her own hands.         The pale gem grew cold to the others and obviously tired. She may not show it directly but her eyes are heavy with tiredness and guilt. Lone missions became rare and in most of the cases, it was Pearl who went out, even if it risked getting her badly hurt. The bunker door slowly opened and the new leader-figure of the rests if the Crystal Gems slank in. "WHERE HAVE YOU-" Amethyst shouted only to be interrupted by Pearl throwing her backpack to the purple gem. "Group of raiders was nearby." Pearl simply replied and retreated somewhere, not listening to the yells of her fellow crystal gem.         She was tired. Her sides and chest still hurt from Garnet's attack and one of the humans got lucky and managed to shot a bullet at her before meeting his demise. She turned a couple of times in the hallways, slipping into the "depths" of the bunker. She walked into a room. The room she chose to rest in was dark and quiet making a more or less okay place to rest at. Taking off her mask and unneeded clothing, Pearl flopped down sighing on the slightly worn bed that was there. She was so tired but there were so many things that kept her from resting. Responsibilities as a leader, nightmares, her injuries and most of all, guilt. Guilt for not being strong enough to prevent this from happening. There was a soft knock on the door and it opened, a young blue-haired woman standing in the doorway with a Medical kit.         "Hello, Lapis. Do you need something?" Pearl asked in a tired tone and sat up, only slightly grimacing. "Amethyst told me you seem to hurt again, so I'm here to check you up since Peridot is busy with things." Lapis said in an almost monotone voice and walked in, turning on the lamp on the table before she closed the door behind herself Pearl would protest but Lapis would probably check up her wounds that Garnet left anyways and discover new ones. She didn't need her teammates more upset with her than they already were. As Pearl let Lapis patch her up more or less, she started to feel dizzy, coming in and out of a small sleep which would normally plague her and Lapis would tease her But surprisingly the Blue haired girl said: "Just sleep, I will manage to patch you up even with you out cold." At first, the new leader wanted to refuse but it quickly fell away when she felt the exhaustion fall onto her back with the weight of the earth. Making a small nod, Pearl closed her eyes and for the first time in months, she fell asleep peacefully, secure in the darkness and with Lapis' presence nearby to help with the loneliness. Finally, she slept.

Peridot’s Logs 1

    Earth date 7/7/2020 0600 hours, I am getting used to the weird system the Steven insists we use to “effectively communicate time” It has been three days since Lapis went missing, I would normally call her a lost cause by now, the gemtoxin should have brought the sickness… or worse. But Well I just couldn’t bring myself to write her off.

     Earth date 7/7/2020 0900 hours, I am currently following a trail leading from the bunker out into the desert, gravity connectors hurt, touch stubs are tingly, I want to help Lapis, but this is insane, the sun is bright I must make a note of it. A note the Steven gave me said I should say what I have brought with me. I have the morp I have been working on, my protective body cloth, some of what the tall one calls “bug spray” and of all things a food shaped satchel that the Steven demanded I bring with. I see a glinting in the distance, It could be her.

    Earth Date 7/7/2020 1200 hours, I found her. Say hi Lapis. BZZZT “Hi Lapis” BZZZT, NO I MEANT SAY HI TO THE BOX, BZZZT “Why would I say hi to the box” BZZZT UGH well she is being insufferable BZZZT “No your insufferable” BZZZT LAPIS IM TALKING TO THE BOX, anyways, now that Lapis and I are at a safe distance it is time to test the Morp, Time to give the humans a taste of their own gemtoxin…

    Earth Date 7/7/2020 1215 hours, BZZZZZTTTTTT Morp BZZZTTTTT BZZZZTTTTTT Better BZZZTTT BZZT Radiation BZZZTTTT Evacuating now. BZZZZTTT THE HELL BZZZT “GARNET” BZZZT BZZZZZZZZZZZTTTTT happened…

     Earth Date 7/7/2020 1815 Hours, returned to base, Lapis is hurt, I have no memory of why Did I do it? Did a human… did a gem? Either way, we have Lapis back, Brought the Steven some food, I don’t know why it likes this stuff back on the way, He fixed Lapis’ cracked Gem, mine was fine though, I just wish I could remember… Anyways… We are safe, in the bunker, protected… Peridot Out.

A New Leader in Town

    It all happened too fast to really register. First Garnet, or what once was Garnet, charged at Steven, the boy freezing up in fear. The next Garnet was stumbling back roaring in agony. Pearl had a shotgun in her hands and in Garnet's chest was a bullet wound. Pearl quickly commanded "Amethyst, Lapis, take Steven to the bunker. Get away from here. Peridot, you too." Her voice was cold as she starred down the beast that once was such a dear friend to her. The gem that she helped to learn how to walk. Garnet roared, it was a sound that resembled wild thunder and the gems and half-gem could feel it vibrating through their chests. "P, are you su-"      "GET OUT OF HERE ALL OF YOU!" Pearl barked out and lifted her gun once again at the corrupted gem in front of them. The burgundy gem was slowly getting back to its senses. Making an annoyed "tch" sound Lapis quickly grabbed Peridot and Steven, pulling them along as the four of the 5 crystal gems quickly disappeared behind some hill. Making an empty laugh, Pearl lifted up her gun. Her eyes which were hidden behind the visor turned slightly sorrowful. Garnet launched herself at Pearl before the slim gem could shoot again and threw her to the ground.     The clothing tore and the claws grazed her pale unreal flesh. Quickly lifting her shotgun with both arms, she blocked Garnet's huge mouth. Two powerful paws slammed on both sides of her, one of the claws piercing through her clothing and into her chest. Starring at the wild, corrupted eyes of Garnet, Pearl gritted her teeth. Everyone she loved, left her. Some more painfully than the others. Or maybe, this time it wouldn't be her, ending the life of a corrupted friend but the corrupted gem ontop of her who would destroy her or damage her gem for the poison to seep in. Still starring into those wild eyes the new leader, probably not for long now, of the crystal gems shed a tear. A sorrowful "I'm so sorry Garnet" leaving her mouth.

Hallow Eyes

The patrol was simple, Evaluate the land and see if the Earth was recovering at all to the destruction of this brutal war, Pearl refused to let Anyone leave the bunker when she was gone. She lost Garnet, someone who she fought alongside in the first war, she was now gone. She never got to see garnet, or what horrible beast they had transformed into. All she knew is that she was hurting, whatever was left of Garnet was just a memory at this point. Pearl slowly rose to her feet. The wind picking up as she stood near a cliff edge. her eyes scanning the landscape, She was close to her home, her bunker, where her family sat. Lapis had flown in the sky and gave a report of a small raid of men with weapons with the intent to kill. Amythest was foolish to let these men know where they lived. They were being hunted and now these men entered her domain.  Pearl narrowed her eyes as she pulled her dirty hoodie over her head. A  Barrett M95, a strong Sniper rifle was hanging off of Pearls back. She knew these men were coming and took her strongest gun she knew she had for the job. Out of everyone, Pearl was the one who could handle this type of mission. Her eyes lost the respect of humans when they killed so many of her friends and family. Amethyst would hesitate too long and get killed, Lapis had no idea how to use such a weapon. Lapis could drown the men, but that would be very painful. Pearl didn’t wish them to suffer, she wasn’t that cruel. The world was however cruel to them all. the sun blotted out with choking thick clouds.  Pearl slowly slid the rifle off of her back and lowered her self to the ground. Her breath slow and easy as he took aim, 5 people, 10 rounds. Each bullet was precious in this world. Ammo, gas, water, and food were vital for everyone in this hospitable world. Her voice barely a whisper as she began her count. “1..” *Bang!* -Down went the first man, Pearl reloaded her gun with a clicking sound letting the next bullet enter the chamber. Men now yelling looking side to side. Pearl huffed through her nose “2...” *Bang!* -Down went the second man, Soon the men grew violent shooting in random area’s they think the fires were coming from. Pearls eyes hallow, lack of light. But it needed to be done. “3...4...5″ *Bang!* -click- *Bang!* -Click- *Bang!* The barrel leaked smoke as the men were all down. Pearl was still like a statue, she was not dumb, she waited, and waited. Making udder most sure that there will be no more men arriving. Soon the gem rose to her feet blowing the tip of the barrel she hooked her gun to her back and gracefully jumped down from the cliffside. A harsh thud of the sand flew up when she landed. Walking to the bodies who were fresh. the smell of iron was strong, but her attention was on what they were carrying. they seemed to have raided other places before here. pearl made sure to check every bag, carefully opening each one to make sure they were not booby-trapped. With swift feet, she moved to head back to the bunker. Carrying the items she had received from the deed. They have now some more food and water for steven to eat and more ammo to add to the collection. Pearl grew numb to watching men die, but it never was easy the first initial shot.

Friend or Foe Pt 2

Pearl and Amethyst anxiously waited to hear some kind of news about Steven. One minute everyone was planning some kind of plan for the next time they went out, the next they see him stumbling into the bunker and collapsing right in front of them. Seeing as to where he was coming from, Pearl was horrified to see he was actually outside instead of the bunker where it was safe. Pearl and Amethyst gave anxious looks to each other as the minutes ticked by. About 10 minutes later, the door to where Steven was taken through opened and out stepped Peridot and Lapis. Immediately Pearl ran in front of them, anxious to hear the news. "How is he?!" The two gems looked at each other as Peridot stepped forward. "We believe that he fainted from exhaustion according to my readings. We couldn't find any source of the toxins getting into his system." "So in other words, he'll be ok when he gets enough rest," Lapis states. Both Pearl and Amethyst sighed in relief before Pearl thought of something else and glared at the remainder of the Crystal Gems. "Who let him out?" The others looked at Pearl confused. "What?" Amethyst asks. "Who was keeping an eye on him?! I thought we agreed we wouldn't let him out of the bunker out of any circumstances!" The silence came back for a few moments before Amethyst looked back at Pearl. "Garnet said she was taking him out. Even made sure he was equipped. I didn't question it because assuming she took him with her, he would be fine. She does have future vision." "Then why did he come back in that state and just where is Garnet, Amethyst?!" Pearl squawked out in frustration and panic. A sudden tension went through the group as the question left Pearl's mouth. Garnet and Steven left the bunker together, but only Steven returned. The tension thickened the more everyone thought about it. Steven returned....but Garnet did not. The gems had a horrible feeling of what could've possibly happened.

Friend or Foe

Running, running, running. Run faster, you have to run faster, his legs screamed. His shoes crunching on the gravel and rubble as he hastily tried climbing over broken buildings blown from the sky. His breathing labored as he took a chance and looked back. She was charging at him, making his stomach sink. He thought.. he thought.. the two were finally getting somewhere but... No, as he thought back, he realized he just found her in a state of calm, and the knife in his pocket scared her. He snapped back to reality as he jumped forward, tumbling down. His form bolting onwards as crashing thumps for footsteps neared. She's gaining on him and he can't run as fast as he used to, stress and anxiety bogging down his powers like a disease. He just wanted to heal her, fix her, fix Garnet... His hand gripped his arm, dripping with crimson. That was his price to pay, he would lie to Pearl about this later, just saying he tumbled down...  Steven shook his head as he swerved off to the left, watching her large form barrel past as he snuck into an alleyway. He kept moving, he had to keep moving, even though his lungs burned from the putrid air, and his legs shook from running. Once he was sure that she had gone, he snuck back out onto the main road, to the crumbling stores. Scanning the shelves for food that wasn't damaged or rotten, stowing cans in his rucksack, tugging the straps so the metal wouldn't jingle and alert the nearby human tribes. He had seen what they do to people with food and water... who did not 'share'... He shivered, still remembering Peedee's body. He had to keep moving though, for his own sake and the gems, swerving about rubble once more, before running a hand through his hair as he kept running, snatching his canteen and chugging it dry. The temple was in sight, right there in his grasp. His vision blurs as he stumbled on the doorsteps, before twisting open the bunker door and collapsing down. Hearing the muffled voices of the gems fade out...

Out in the Open

-The purple-pink haze drifted lazily over the ground, making the terrain seem alien, warped. Trees desiccated and skeletal stood like silent guardians of the small clearing. The sun was barely cresting the bluffs in the east. He was starving, they were short on supplies and it was all her fault. She wasn’t enough to keep him alive. Pearl stood, her black visor tinted to block the dazzling light of the sun, the bombs, and the gas had weakened the protective layers of atmosphere on the little dustball planet that was now her prison. With a grunt, pearl hoisted the iron-sighted rifle that she took with her everywhere nowadays. She didn’t dare summon her spear, such an act would be begging for the sickness to seep into her, to change her, to… “No, don’t think about that” Pearl shook her head. With a force of will, she pushed herself into moving again. Beach city was a difficult place to go, but well, there were the encampments, they always had some kind of food. Pearl walked for a few minutes, before seeing the telltale smoke pillar of an encampment, the sign that someone was living there.

She crept along a small river, almost a creek really, its banks barely more than a yard across as she snuck through what little cover there could be afforded here in this barren land. Barely five minutes had passed before she crested a small hill, to find nestled in between two cliff faces sat a small ramshackle village. It couldn’t have more than five houses, and what seemed like twenty people living in a small village. Reaching into her bag, she drew out a set of binoculars equipped with some stuff Peridot had constructed. She found what she was looking for with only a cursory glance at the structures. One of the buildings guarded by two men bedecked in obviously salvaged armor on either side of a door, had a sign outside reading “Storage” This was it she thought as she placed the binoculars back in her sack, saying in a detached, unfeeling tone, “500 meters.”. And then came a peal of thunder.

Fallout Corrupted Garnet, Not all corrupted gems will look like a deathclaw, but I thought it would be interesting. idk if I’ll have the time to draw Jasper tho OOF

[stevenuniverseanewchapter]

Fallout au?

So I had a really cool ass dream that I think would be an interesting au- I’m not gonna do too much with it but hear me out. After a devastating world war, with humans and gems, weapons of mass destruction make the world extremely hostile. Humans were able to find a way to make a liquid/ gas version bioweapon to corrupt and damage gemstones. the world is a wasteland and the remaining survivors from the CG’s are Pearl, amethyst, Lapis, and Peridot. Steven is there too but usually is sheltered and protected in a bunker-like building within the hill of the now-destroyed home. all of the Gemtech is completely destroyed- the warp pads are obliterated, they have nothing to easily build and fly off earth. besides that, steven doesn’t want to leave earth as his father is still missing, and refusing to leave without him and Connie. The gems think they are gone, but Unless steven sees there dead bodies, he won’t give up. when outside of the bunker, the gems have to wear hazmat masks, and try and dress to cover up as much skin as possible, to possibly trick other remaining human tribes so they are not killed right away, basic weapons are around and the humans still have the bioweapon in stock to still harm the other gems unable to use their gem weapons due to fear of becoming damaged by the toxic gas, they use human weapons. the gas slowly kills almost all wildlife tho, so the world is barren as well as nuclear fallout which came right after the bioweapon, as a last resort to finish the gem race off. the remaining Cg’s must keep their gemstones covered as much as possible to avoid the toxin to react and damage their gemstone. because of this, they can’t stay out for too long or else it gets extremely uncomfortable for them. the bunker is the only safe place for them to expose their gems and relax a little.

Pearl carries ranged weapons, such as a sniper rifle and a AKA-47, as well as smoke bombs- 

Lapis Can still use her kinesis powers as the gem does not have to be exposed to the air for the power/ weapon to work. she carries 2 containers, one full of water and one full of Gasoline when paired with Amethyst they can reak havoc on nearby enemies.

Amethyst is a Pyromaic, her fanny packs carry everything that could be used to start fires. 

Peridot helped create these special hazmat outfits and was the first to warn/ know the signs of an infected gem, though the gems themselves are not contagious, them being infected shows a high level of toxin in the air. They will need to be mindful of which areas are mot hostile than others. She was also able to figure out by using stevens essence they can last longer outside in “danger zones” without being affected.

Unable to leave the bunker, Steven is forced to try and keep spirits high. It becomes more and more difficult to do so, as food is running low, and unlike the gems who don’t need to eat, poor steven has to, it’s always a struggle to find food. The gems always seem to prevail and bring food back to the bunker, but he always feels horrible knowing they probably stole it from other starving humans like himself.

Their mission is simple. find enough supplies to build a ship to get off of the earth, and to head back to the homeworld, There, they can get more help from the diamonds and even have a better chance on fixing this dying earth. Song I found that seems very fitting for the au

-edit- someone already has starting writing fanfic for this au OML

-and it’s in pearls perspective, this is fucken amazing.
