Acceptance

Agate is huddled up, deep inside of a cave. Not one of his five eyes aren't crying..

He starts grumbling and grunting to himself, as if.. As if he was trying to say something. Suddenly, he heard the sounds of footsteps, and they echo through the cave. He quickly presses himself closer to the nearest wall of the cave. He notices something, though..

He finally sees what made those sounds and to his surprise it was his Corrupted Gem friends running by the cave. Cyan stops and takes a peek inside the cave. Almost as if blind, Cyan couldn't see Agate. Cyan looks back at the others and runs after them.

Agate lets out a sigh of  relief..

Flashing thirty-two days later, Agate wanders the cave. He ventures deeper and deeper inside of the cave. The cave has been his home for almost a month, and he couldn't let himself go out of it. That is, until he heard more footsteps.

Agate quickly runs into the cave, and it starts to get darker and darker.. He is barely able to see until he rams his face straight into a stone wall. As he almost blacks out, the footsteps come closer. He starts to see a light in the distance, a faint greyish blueish tint of a glow.

One of his eyes close. Then another. The third closes. Then the fourth. Finally, his fifth eye closes and he sees nothing. No sounds can be heard, no footsteps. No light.. Just darkness.

He feels as if he has been in this darkness for years until he finally opens one if his eyes..

He sees Quartz and Bloodstone, kneeling over him, talking but he couldn't understand what. Out of shock, Agate jumps up, knocking over Quartz and Bloodstone in the process. He sees them on the ground, in pain. He starts crying again, and he can't help but start running away.

Bloodstone quickly dashes up and chases down Agate as Quartz slowly gets up and wipes the dust off her dress.

Agate jumps out of the cave and is blinded by the sudden brightness. He falls over and starts tumbling down a hill the cave is located on. After minutes of the tumbling, he crashes against a tree. He looks up to see Bloodstone sliding down the hill on his boots, without trouble. Agate gets up and climbs up the tree, and sits on a limb. Bloodstone stares up at him from the ground.

Bloodstone: Agate, please.. Come down. Let us talk about what happened!

Agate: ROUGHAH! ROUAHGORAH! AHHRGROBARA!

Bloodstone: Oh.. Okay. I see. Uhhh.. Dang, I don't know how to translate that..

Agate: ROUGAHRAGAH! ROUGAHAHHHA!

Bloodstone: Agate, please.. Calm down. We can get through this.. You can understand me, right? Please, Agate.. If know what I am saying just please think about this...

Agate sits in the tree, and opens his mouth as wide as he can.

Bloodstone: Uh, okay..

Agate's mouth lights up and is englufed with flame. The flame is shot out of his mouth directly at Bloodstone, like a ball of flame.

Bloodstone: Not the sign I was looking for!

Agate opens his mouth wide open again shoots out a wave of flame at Bloodstone.

As Agate does this, Quartz flies through the air, out of the cave. She summons her halberd and slices through the tree Agate sits in. Agate falls down head first and yells in anger.

As he stares at Bloodstone and Quartz he falls back to the ground, screaming in terror and pain.. He starts to grow another eye, splitting out of another. Four more spikes break through his flesh, one on his back, another on his right leg, and two more on his left arm. His skins grows more colors and his pupils of his six eyes do too. Finally, his fingers turn to razor sharp blades for fingers and Agate stops the screaming.

As his transformation ends, he stares back at Quartz and Bloodstone. Without warning, he leaps for Bloodstone and pounces on him. He digs his claws into Bloodstone's stomach and travels down his legs. He then starts scratching all around Bloodstone's head.

As Quartz watches in horror, she summons her halberd and attempts to strike Agate, but he grabs her blade and throws it aside. He takes her by the arm and throws her against a tree where he pins her by the neck. He then stabs her right in the collar bone. His fingers travels along her chest and down to her stomach. As Quartz screams in terror, Bloodstone gets up and tries to hit Agate, but instead he drops Quartz and opens his mouth as wide as he can, and roars open rock melting flame out like a flame thrower. The power was so strong, Bloodstone was knocked down.

As he closes his razor sharp mouth, he feels a cold electric shot in his chest. He looks down to see a halberd sliced right in the center. He smiles and reaches his hand to the tip and crushes it. He merely walks out of the blade and turns around. He flies his hand through the air, and his claws scratch Quartz's face.

Bloodstone looks at what happened and falls to the ground, too weak to even stand up. Kneeing, he finds eyes with Quartz. She nods and Bloodstone does as well.

Bloodstone weakily stands up and looks at Agate.

Bloodstone: Hey, Agate..

Agate quickly turns his head around and looks at Bloodstone.

Bloodstone: Catch this!

Bloodstone then summons his scythe and and throws it at Agate. Agate catches it, as if proud that Bloodstone would try something so stupid. But, with Agate's arms in the air, Bloodstone spin dashes towards Agate, and under his legs to Quartz. Upon impact, Bloodstone and Quartz fuse together.

Watermelon Tourmaline forms together and looks down at Agate. As speechless as can be, Tourmaline summons their halberd and scythe and forms the circular halberd. They attempt an overhead strike at Agate, but Agate runs up the staff and jumps up and punches Tourmaline straight in the face. Still in mid-air, Agate spin dashes and forcefully pushes Tourmaline and they're sent flying through the air. Agate spin dashes towards where they land and starts scratching their face all around. He finally opens his mouth and spits out flame at their face.

Tourmaline quickly defuses.

Bloodstone and Quartz fall down and crash against the ground. They both attempt to get up when, suddenly, Agate's Gem flashes a bright color. The color grows and grows until anyone in a five mile radius will be temporarily blind. Agate uses this time and vanishes, leaving Quartz and Bloodstone hurt, confused, and unable to even move.
