Steven universe – The tale of the lightning gem

Chapter 1 – Birth of the lightning gem

She lied on the bed. Her black hair lies across the pillow. She sweats and pants, having her last and final child. She groans and screams to the pain of birth. Her husband by her side, holding her hand, telling her she's strong and she can make it.

"Hold on my love…I know you can do this." He whispered to her, rubbing her hand.

"Izanagi…" she whispered, looking into her husband's eyes.

"Izanami…" he whispered to her.

"Your almost there madam…just keep pushing." Said the maid

Izanagi felt a strong and powerful presence. Even more powerful them himself, but he didn't know where it was coming from. All he knew is that it was close, very close to him and his wife.

"Just one last push madam, just one more!"

And then Izanami screamed, giving one last push.

The maid held the baby in her arms, smiling with happiness and tears in her eyes.

"It's a boy!" she smiled "I'm so happy for you madam and master…" the maid handed the baby boy over to Izanami. She held her new born baby in her arms. Tears fell down her cheek, staring at her healthy baby.

Izanagi wrapped his arms around Izanami, he smiled, staring at his son.

"He's beautiful..." Izanami whispered, rubbing her fingers over his black hair.

"My son…" Izanagi whispered "welcome to the world…" he said smiling.

"So…what will be his name?" asked the Maid.

"Hmm…I haven't thought of one…" Izanami said.

A flicker of electricity flashed in front of Izanami. Izanami quickly looked up "What?" she looked down at her baby boy. Static was flickering all around its body.

"W-what's happening?!" Said the maid scared.

The newly born baby hovered in the air. Electricity flared everywhere. Izanami watched in shock at her new born baby became nothing but pure electricity. He eyes filled with tears and it went down her cheeks.

"My baby…what's happening?!" she screamed and she reached out to him.

"This power…it's what I what I was sensing…" Said izanagi

"His power has awakened to early masters." Said the caretaker of the palace "there's absolutely no way he can control it…not as a new born…"

Izanagi looked at her wife. She saw the sorrow and shock across her face. He ran to their room. He grabbed a yellow crystal gem, and gripped it tightly. He didn't want to use it. But he had too. There was no other way.

Izanagi returned to scene. He used his own electricity fusing it around the gem. The gem started to glow and float into the air. The gem slowly went over to the baby who turned into pure electricity.

Izanagi held out his hand. For a minute he hesitated. But had no choice but to force his way through this whole ordeal. And then he shouted at the top of his lungs.

"SEAL!" he roared.

The baby that had turned into the pure electricity quickly was being sucked into the yellow crystal. And just like that, it was over. The yellow crystal glowed brightly and fell. Izanami caught the crystal, grapping it in her hand.

"My baby…." She whispered "My baby…"

"Izanami…I'm sorry…there was nothing else I could have done…" Izanagi said. "If I have let it continue…"

"Everything here would have been destroyed. A power even greater than that master, is highly dangerous." The caretaker said, looking over at Izanami.

Izanami was pale and sweating, and her breathing was getting worse.

Izanagi walked over to Izanami and held her close. He could fell her heart beat was slowing down and she was sweating more.

"Izanami?" Izanagi whispered.

"I can feel him…he wants to get out." She whispered. Tears were starting to fall from her eyes and sliding down her cheeks. "I want to hold my baby…"

The maid quickly ran over to Izanami and checked on her.

"She has a fever! And…she's going into shock!" said the maid in fear.

"Izanami!" Izanagi said looking at her, in fear in that he was going to lose the women he loved.

Izanami looked at Izanagi. Black bags were under her eyes and her face was looking even paler. "What…what are we going to do with our baby? I don't want to lose him."

Izanagi looked into her eyes. He held her hand gently, feeling the pulse of the gem that he sealed his son in.

"I'm sorry masters. But…if he releases from his gem…" The caretaker whispered.

Izanami was silent for a few seconds. She had enough energy to get to her feet.

"M-madam!" The maid the said frantically "you must seek attention."

She didn't listen. She stepped out to the palace, stepping on to the soft white clouds of the sky, looking down on the world below. Tears fell down her cheeks and she sobbed.

"I'm so sorry my son…I'm so sorry…." She whispered clutching the yellow crystal in her hands. And she let go.

The yellow crystal fell down into the world. Izanami then fell to her knees.

"Goodbye…my son." She said in sorrow. And with one last look at her sons gem that fell down to earth. Izanami fainted. She had stopped breathing and her heart had stopped beating. She was gone.

"IZANAMI!" screamed Izanagi, he ran over to her and picked her up and held her. "No…no…Izanami…"

The yellow gem had finally fallen to earth. It landed in a grass field. It glowed and pulsed violently. But then after awhile it stopped. And the gem had just laid there.

"What was that?" The women startled. She turns around and walks over to where the yellow crystal had fallen. She kneels down and picks it up.

"There's a gem all the way out here?"

"Jasper!" roared Yellow diamond, walking over to jasper. "What are you doing? What's that you have?"

"Mam! I found a crystal gem all the way out here! Mam!" Jasper said showing her yellow crystal.

Yellow diamond narrowed her eyes crystal gem. She looked deep within the gem. She could see the tremendous power that lied within.

"Interesting…" Yellow diamond whispered.

"So…what should we do with it?" Jasper asked.

"Bring it with us." Yellow diamond ordered and she turned around and walked away back to her ship.

"Yes Mam!" Jasper said nodding. She gave one last look at the crystal gem. And the gem itself gave one last strong pulse that made Jasper drop the gem in shock.

"What in the world was that?" she said shocked.

"Jasper quit lollygagging and come on!" Yellow diamond ordered.

"Yes Mam!" Jasper picked up the crystal gem and followed Yellow diamond back to the ship. And back to homeworld.
