This story will be updated very rarely. J,L,P&S is already more than enough to crowd my time, so chapters for this will only come out if A) I've got a writer's block for my main story or B) I'm feeling generous enough to give readers an update for each of my stories.

She saw a white light flash from under her closed eyes. Her form solidified and her limbs became definite. She felt her mind wake again, her emotions unlock and her thoughts run.

With her reformation, memories from her counterparts suddenly bombarded her. But she was used to this feeling. Everytime she formed she would experience through her counterparts what had happened while she was… away.

She had formed often in the past before, there weren't usually such long stretches of time in between. Dimly, she realized with a start it had been hundreds of years since she had last set foot on any sort of ground.

She opened her eyes and her objective kicked in. She was existing at this moment because she was needed. She felt a slight twinge of disappointment; she didn't have any time to see what had happened while she was away, or visit places or her friends.

She could see all of that through another pair of eyes, but it just wasn't the same.

Her reason for existing in the first place brought her back to reality. One of the gems who made her was tugging lightly at her conscience, urging her to do what she needed to do.

Her metaphorical self in the deep recesses of her mind nodded, and the tugging subsided. She knew exactly what she should do and how.

She easily closed the space between her and her foe in one leap. Keeping a tight grip on the monster's body was easy.

She drew back her fist and punched straight through the creature's stomach. She could hear the surprised screams inside the corrupted gem. Or it was the gem itself, considering she had just punched it through it's stomach. But she knew to trust her instincts.

Her hand felt around for anything, anyone. Nothing, but the screams, or the owners of the screams, were moving. She pinpointed their location.

She pulled her hand out of the monster and punched through with her other three in one fluid motion.

This time, she caught hold of something alive. Instantly she realized it wasn't who she was here for, but it was better to let it go when they were on the ground instead of a mile in the air.

Her hand found another living being. This was the one. She pulled the boy out, practically ripping another hole through the creature's body. As the body started to turn to light, she pushed off, landing with a powerful splash.

She let the other Earth creature leap free and straightened up. The boy in her grasp was awestruck. She was aware of him saying something, but she knew that, with the tension between the two gems that made her, almost anything could rip her apart.

The shards of the monster she had just defeated fell from the sky, but each one paused in midair, still rotating slowly. Each one formed into a new, smaller creature.

One of her hands instinctively reached over to carry the boy more securely. She didn't know why, but once again, a tug at her conscience.

Two tugs, in fact, from either side. They argued lightly, but a hard jerk from one prompted her into action. The creatures dove straight for her.

She felt her mind get a little invaded, but her body was already twisting out of the way. She landed on what was the roof of a spiral staircase, according to some recent memory her gems decided to share.

She slid down the slanted roof with a whole flock of the corrupted gem shards after her. A second flock rounded on the other side, but by then she was already in the air.

She crossed the humongous gap in one leap. Landing on her feet, she finally released the boy.

With a thrill masked by her calmness (which was essential for keeping herself together), she recreated her weapon. It had been a long while since she had held this grip.

A familiar hum of energy flowed from her gem. The mindless creatures kept coming, completely oblivious to their ominous fate.

The arrow pierced straight through the crowd, exploding itself at the center. The cries of the creatures echoed a hundredfold as their physical forms were destroyed.

She allowed herself a small smile. Monster defeated.

They appeared back in the Temple. She was proud of herself for staying together this long. Her control was getting frayed as the two gems trembled, but she was still together.

A familiar gem walked up to them. Oh, it's been so long! She thought. "The beetle." the gem said. With those words, whatever control she had left slipped away. How could she have forgotten the most important part of the mission?

She felt her form wobble and the two gems yell into her voice. With a burst of light, she was gone again.

Ok, if I was trying a 'Guess which gem I did' I failed miserably! And if I was trying to go for a better ending I also failed miserably! XD I'm so pessimistic about my work… Next chapter (whenever it comes out) will hopefully be more mysterious and less obvious.
