Kirby: The Great Super Kirby Clash Fight! Chapter ☆10: Go! Super Team Kirby!

...and then:

“HEY, KIRBY!”

An innocent voice echoed.

Kirby couldn’t believe what he was hearing.

Running in from the edge of the wasteland was Bandana Waddle Dee.

“W-Waddle Dee?!”

Kirby strained his eyes, wondering if he was hallucinating. However, it was not a hallucination. It was definitely Bandana Waddle Dee.

Moreover, he didn’t come alone. Behind him, many of the villagers came following.

“Everyone!?!”

Kirby was surprised. The Aeon Hero noticed the approaching crowd. Kirby promptly spread his arms out wide and shouted:

“It’s too dangerous!! Everyone, get out of here!!”

Bandana Waddle Dee and the others kept approaching, as if they couldn’t hear him.

“Please!! Leave!!!”

“Kirby, use these!!!” Bandana Waddle Dee shouted.

He quickly threw several sparkling objects, one after another.

Seeing the two objects that had fallen at his feet, Kirby was astonished:

“Wh-What’re these? So pretty...”

The times were a sword and a helmet, both of which glittered like the stars in a night sky.

“What are these things?...”

Kirby was in awe. Bandana Waddle Dee shouted:

“I’ll explain later! Kirby, take the gear and fight!”

“Wha-?!”

Kirby was at a loss for words at the suddenness of it all.

At that moment, the Aeon Hero started to attack.

He payed no attention to Bandana Waddle Dee and the others. He had his sights set solely on Kirby.

“Ahh!!”

Kirby ducked down and dodged the attack, then took off the current helmet he was wearing. He jumped at the beautiful helmet Bandana Waddle Dee had thrown him and quickly put it on. Then, he replaced his sword too.

Just as he did so, he could feel the power surging through him, as if the energy had been poured straight into his previously fatigued body.

Not just his body, but even his soul, which had been overwhelmed with despair, had its courage revived.

“Huh?! How-???”

Kirby held his sword up over his head. He felt as if he were dreaming.

A glimmer like a starry night sky lit up the battlefield. Kirby had a glimmer in his eye.

“So cool... this gear is amazing!”

The Aeon Hero, realizing Kirby had regained his strength, picked up the pace on his attacks. Moving so fast he could not be seen, he let out a series of slashes, one after another,

Kirby quickly jumped about, dodging each and every attack.

“Time to fight back!!”

With a resounding shout, Kirby kicked himself off the ground and jumped at the Hero.

“Here it comes, TWISTER SLASH!!!!!”

Kirby’s sword grazed the Hero’s wings. However, it did almost no damage. He truly didn’t have a chance against the Hero. He perfectly dodged Kirby’s attacks, conversely waiting for an opening. Kirby was out of breath.

The new gear had given him strength, but it still wasn’t enough.

In order to defeat such a formidable foe- he called out to his fallen allies in his mind.

(Everyone... please, get up!... I... can’t do this alone!...)

However, his three knocked-out companions didn’t move even slightly.

Then...

A loud, carefree voice echoed throughout the tense battlefield.

“Rise and shine, Team Kirby Z! It’s breakfast time!~”

It was Chef Kawasaki.

He had raised his voice from behind Bandana Waddle Dee. Chef Kawasaki, while still shouting, started to throw several things at them.

“Look, it’s Chef Kawasaki’s specialty rice balls! Pollock roe, salmon, okaka, tuna mayo, chicken soboro! All of your favorites! The irresistible smell of soy sauce, we have an extra extra large serving of grilled rice balls!~”

Then-

One by one, the three Kirbys, who should’ve been completely unconscious, got up on their feet.

“Did someone say pollock roe????” Hammer shouted, looking around restlessly. “Pollock roe rice balls are my favorite!”

Beam also jumped up, his eyes lit up.

“Tuna mayo! I call dibs on the tuna mayo rice balls! They’re all MINE!”

“In my professional medical opinion, the grilled rice balls belong to me! Everyone, hands off!”

“Hey Doctor, don’t hog them all to yourself!”

“I want some grilled rice balls too!”

The three chowed down on the rice balls ravenously. Kirby was dumbfounded.

“H-Hey... everyone...!”

With all his energy, Kirby rushed over to the others and screamed:

“Wait!! I want some too!! I’m starving!!!!”

Team Kirby Z happily scarfed down any and all of the rice balls they could get their hands on.

“They’re so delicious! Eating rice balls makes me happier than anything else!”

“This, this flavor! Chef Kawasaki’s rice balls! They taste so good I’m gonna cry!”

“What should I have next? There’s so many, I can't decide!~”

“Tea please, I need tea!”

All of a sudden a rice ball party had started right in the middle of the battlefield.

“.........”

The Hero, who had been standing still and speechless, suddenly resumed attacking.

Gripping his sword with both hands, he thrusted it into the ground! The resulting shock wave rushed at the four Kirbys like a tornado!

The Kirbys, too distracted by the rice balls, were swept up in the winds and slammed against the ground.

“Ow... owie...!”

“What did he do... to my... rice balls...!?”

“Ugh... wha...? Where...?”

The Kirbys, upon looking around, were hit with the realization:

“Oh yeah! We were supposed to be fighting!”

“Oh, oh no oh no oh no! My weapon! Where’s my weapon?!”

Suddenly, there was an astonished-sounding voice:

“Good grief, you were really alright with those things?”

It was Meta Knight. He handed each of them the new weapons and armor.

“Now, use these!”

Hammer, Beam and Doctor all stared in amazement.

“What’s this? What a pretty hammer...”

“Am I really allowed to use this staff?...”

“What a wonderful flask. The sparkles! What is it made of?”

While the three were bewildered, the Hero came rushing in to attack.

He was about to chop them into pieces in one terrifying blow!

However, Kirby quickly put up the Hero Shield, protecting his three friends.

The shock from the reflected attack took the Hero aback. The Hero Shield was much stronger than it had been at any point before.

“Everyone, equip the weapons and armor! This gear’s really powerful!”

“Ok...?”

With confused looks on their faces, the three took off their old armor and equipped their new gear.

Then, suddenly- the three were covered in sparkles, as if they were wearing the night sky.

“Woah?!”

“This gear feels great!”

“Wow... I can feel the power rushing through me!”

Each of the Kirbys readied their weapons and faced toward the Aeon Hero. The Hero raised his sword. Light spears came down at the four Kirbys!

The four easily maneuvered their way around the attacks, and then exchanged looks with each other.

Team Kirby Z, having regained their strength thanks to Bandana Waddle Dee and the others’ assistance, were now way, way, way more powerful than before!

The four, thinking the same thing, struck a pose.

“Let’s go!!! We are...”

In unison, they shouted:

“SUPER TEAM KIRBY!!!”

“We’ve got full stomachs and we’re full of energy!” Kirby shouted. “And we don’t plan on losing!”

“Of course,” Doctor said, looking satisfied. “Everyone gave us their energy. Now we’re way more powerful than ever before! Sword, you know what to do!”

Kirby nodded his head and started jumping about.

“Leave it to me! Let’s go, ENERGY ATTACK!!! HIYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!”

Slashing hectically, he was messing with the Aeon Hero.

Beam, flourishing his staff, continuously fired out shooting-star like beams of light.

“Take this! TIME BEAM!!! And another one! And this, and this, and this!!!”

Doctor healed his companions’ injuries while throwing explosives at the Hero.

Then there was Hammer, who readied his large hammer, glittering like the stars, saving up his power.

Big cheers were sent Super Team Kirby’s way.

“Hang in there, Kirby! Kirby! Kirby! Kirby! Go, GO!!”

At the head of the cheering was Bandana Waddle Dee. Behind him, the Port Villagers all clapped their hands, stomped their feet and raised their voices:

“Woooah! Keep going, Super Team Kirby!”

“If you win, we’ll throw a party to celebrate!~ I’ll make all your favorite meals for you. On the house, of course!~”

Hearing the cheers of the crowd, the Kirbys gradually grew stronger and stronger!

And then, the Aeon Hero stopped moving.

“Alrighty, we stopped the clock!”

“Now’s our chance! Let’s go!~”

Hammier, having stored up his power, let out an attack with all his might.

“HAMMER FLIP!!!”

Beam made the light beam bend like a whip and smacked the Hero with it.

“BEAM WHIP!!!”

Doctor shook his flask and a tower of flame fired out.

“SCIENCE LAB!!!”

And then Kirby jumped up in the air, spun around once, and made a sudden nosedive!

“FINAL SWORD!!!!!!”

All of the attacks hit the Aeon Hero at full force.

Game, set and match.

The moment time started up again, the Aeon Hero was left without any power to fight back.

Above the defeated and dejected Hero, the sky split open, revealing the infinite void of space.

The Kirbys were watching with bated breath...

The unconscious Hero was sucked into the hole in space and disappeared.

The wasteland returned to absolute silence. It made it seem unbelievable that, up until just now, there was a fierce battle raging, one that would determine the fate of the Dream Kingdom.

“You...”

The first to break the silence was Bandana Waddle Dee.

“YOU DID IT! You won! You really won, Kirby!”

Bandana Waddle Dee jumped onto Kirby. The villagers simultaneously cheered:

“Amazing! Way to go, Super Team Kirby!”

“How could you take down such a terrifying foe!”

Crowded around by everyone, the Kirbys shouted:

“Woah! Wait, wait a sec!”

“We can't talk comfortably here!”

“Let’s go back to the village. We have a party to throw!”

“Alright!”

Led by Super Team Kirby, everyone started walking straight back to the village, clamoring all along the way.

@elwing tagged me to share 5 books I’ve read since September that I’ve loved!

1. Eileen by Ottessa Moshfegh. This fall I kind of bingeread most of her books and this was my favorite by her I think, I really connected with the dreary and dysfunctional mid-century Massachusetts setting, it felt very realistic in a way I could sense, and the plot was a very interesting slow burn that picks up in a very shocking way. I’m interested about the movie that will have Thomasin Mackenzie and Anne Hathaway in it.

2. Loving to Survive by Dee L. R. Graham... no notes just a fascinating and very worthwhile and still timely and relevant maybe more so than ever study of abuse and misogyny.

3. The Devil All The Time by Donald Ray Pollock. I actually saw the movie (which I liked a lot and you may remember it because this scene got memed on here a lot) a few years ago and didn’t know it was a book until later. Got around to reading it and I really liked the writing style and how all the stories were intertwined, I read it pretty quickly too. Moral Orel mutuals check it out

4. Ma and Me by Putsata Reang. The memoir of a Cambodian refugee who grew up in America, and also the story of her and her mother’s often difficult relationship. It’s a very important story that you should just read. A lot of the reviews/blurbs don’t necessarily do it justice.

5. listing these under one slot because they all go together, and because idgaf, the American Girl: Caroline series by Kathleen Ernst. I’ve been getting back into AG and I had never read the Caroline books (I was a Josefina+Kaya kid, they are still my favs) but I was really taken in by them, they’re very well crafted and engaging historical fiction.

Re-watched Street Fighter II: the Movie ! It was the greatest movie of all time

-- Ryu and Ken were in it

-- Unlike the live-action movie, there was also a lot of Street Fighting in it !

-- Ryu, unlike Ken, doesn’t seem to have much of a life beyond Street Fighting. I wonder if he’d like a cool wife or something someday....I wonder if he gets along with Eliza

-- The DLC characters, Fei Long and Thunder Hawk, are used to showcase Ryu and Ken’s power. And as for Dee Jay....he should be careful walking around that broken glass without shoes

-- It didn’t seem like Guile really knows Ken here [?]; I wonder if they become brothers-in-law after this

-- I thought Bison’s scientist was [the voice of] Mike Pollock, but I guess not

-- It’s kind of the opposite of the live-action movie in that Guile is the only guy who doesn’t get a real one-on-one fight [where he defeats the opponent]

-- Though, he declares ownership of Bison’s butt in both movies. That’s his most famous trait

-- Oh, they showed boobies and said the F word sometimes. That’s kinda weird because Street Fighter II wasn’t really a M-rated game

-- Guile causes a car crash in response to Chun Li / the hospital’s hilarious prank; I guess they want to put more people in the hospital. Must be a slow day

SAG > Oscars Different Winners

I saw some comments on the last post that wondered on the frequency of occurrence. Didn't want to hijack that post, but below is a breakdown of when the winner of the SAG Award was different than won the Oscar (list was put together quickly, and different submissions made things difficult)

I tabulated that a POC winning a SAG but not receiving the Oscar happened 30%* when there was different winner. (*Sometimes people were nominated in different categories, but I still counted it). Unsurprisingly, it happens much more frequently than the opposite (10%).

Best Actor List SAG > Oscar

· Chadwick Boseman > Anthony Hopkins

· Denzel Washington > Casey Affleck

· Johnny Depp > Sean Penn

· Benicio del Toro > Russell Crowe*

*Del Toro’s role in Traffic nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the Oscars which he won

Best Actress SAG > Oscar

· Lily Gladstone > Emma Stone

· Viola Davis > Frances McDormand

· Viola Davis > Meryl Streep

· Meryl Streep > Kate Winslet*

*Kate Winslet’s nomination for the SAG was Best Actress for Revolutionary Road, and Best Supporting Actress for The Reader. For the Oscars Kate Winslet was nominated Best Actress for the Reader, no acting nomination for her role in Revolutionary Road

· Julie Christie > Marion Cotillard

· Renee Zellweger > Nicole Kidman

· Annette Bening > Hilary Swank

· Jodie Foster > Jessica Lange

Best Supporting Actor SAG > Oscar

· Idris Elba* > Mark Rylance

*Elba not nominated for the Oscars

· Tommy Lee Jones > Christoph Waltz*

*Waltz not nominated for SAG.

· Eddie Murphy > Alan Arkin

· Paul Giamatti > George Clooney

· Ed Harris > Kevin Spacey

Best Supporting Actress SAG à Oscar

· Emily Blunt* > Regina King*

*Blunt not nominated for and Oscar. King not nominated for a SAG

· Kate Winslet* > Penelope Cruz

*Same year mentioned above where Winslets role in The Reader was in different categories for the awards

· Ruby Dee >Tilda Swinton

· Helen Mirren > Jennifer Connelly*

*Connelly’s role in A Beautiful Mind was up for Best Actress for the SAG, but Best Supporting Actress at the Oscars

· Judi Dench > Marcia Gay Harden*

*Harden’s role in Pollock not nominated for a SAG

· Kathy Bates > Judi Dench

· Kim Basinger & Gloria Stuart* > Kim Basinger

*There was a tie at the SAG awards

AN: As there are now only four chapters left till we reach the end Alternate Future, I just want to say right now that all the support means the world to me. 30 reviews, almost 15,000 views across the world as I write this, one fan on Tumblr wanting to make a webcomic adaptation, I don't think any of my other stories received this much attention before! But anyways, enough with the tears of joy, let's get on to some regular tears of sadness.

Featuring Tim Curry as General Lloyd Waller

Steven Ogg as J. Edgar Hoover

Mike Pollock as Harry S. Truman

Avi Roque as Cinnabar

With Alex Hirsch as Lawrence Abrams

And Keith Olbermann as Kent Whitman

"Good afternoon America." Newscaster Kent Whitman greeted his viewers before getting onto the hot topic of the day. "Just a few hours ago, a message to the world by a being calling herself Black Rutile called for the apprehension of a group of alien rebels known as the Crystal Gems, causing uproar across many countries for their relation to the disappearance of the ocean and more recently, the appearance of a strange pink monster that has emerged in the Delmarva town of Beach City."

"-It's because of her that this monstrosity plaguing the Earth at this moment is running amok and the Crystal Gems have done nothing to stop it, or her for that matter." Black Rutile's message was played again.

"According to this Rutile character, the Crystal Gems are in league with another Gem known as Pink Diamond, whom she claims is the source of the monster problem." Kent stated. "And on that note, we now go live to Lawrence Abrams, reporting from the Crystal Gems' current location at Area 42. Lawrence, what can you gather from there?"

"Thank you, Kent." Lawrence thanked the anchor at the studio while standing in front of a military base far outside Las Diego. "This is Lawrence Abrams reporting live, with special clearance, in front of Area 42, where the US government is rumored to keep some rather suspicious lifeforms. And here come some now!"

A military van soon pulled up to the base and Wade Grant hopped out the front seat before opening the backdoors. "Okay ladies, let's get a move on! Single file, all of you!"

"As I speak, these extraterrestrial criminals are here to be tried for repeated offenses against the planet Earth." Lawrence continued narrating as his cameraman got a good look at each of them. Some of the Gems looked resigned or ashamed, namely Garnet, Lapis, Peridot & Jasper, others were less than enthused about being branded as criminals like Pearl, Amethyst & Bismuth, and Volleyball was left completely stunned at what just happened. "Let's try and get an interview with the Major General." Abrams muttered before racing up to Wade and putting the microphone to his face. "Excuse me, sir, what tipped you off about these creatures in the first place?"

"You all might've seen it, but allow me to repeat for those just tuning in," Wade answered. "These lifeforms have been living among us since the dawn of man, and we're only now learning of their existence thanks to a helpful tip from one Black Rutile."

"Helpful my butt!" Amethyst yelled. "Black Rutile's a total psycho, she probably might kill you all!"

"That's enough outta you!" Private Eric growled and shoved his rifle in Amethyst's face.

"Joke's on you Patton, your bullets can't hurt me!" Amethyst bragged before she was prodded into continuing following the line.

"There you have it, folks. The Crystal Gems: threat or menace?" Lawrence asked. "Back to you Kent."

"Thank you, Larry." Kent organized the papers in his hands with a grin. "Coming up next, the ten cutest little animals who you wouldn't expect to be some of the deadliest predators in the world! More on this at 4."

Inside Area 42, Eduardo Suarez shut off the TV and pinched the bridge of his nose in shame. "Lo siento mi amigos, but my country comes first." Ed said to himself. "And I especially need a word with Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl."

"Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl, eh, el presidente?" a curly-haired man in military garb announced his presence by driving his wheelchair into the same room as the president with a smarmy grin. "Why, I haven't heard those names in ages, my boy!"

"Ah, General Lloyd Waller!" Eduardo yelped as the semi-retired general made himself known. "I thought you were off vacationing in Cancun? What brings you back to the States?"

"After watching that Black Rutile's message go viral, I just felt the need to see this for myself." Lloyd grinned cheekily. "Besides, not the first time I've run into Gems either."

"Wait, are you serious?" the Latin-American President asked.

"Si, my friend!" Waller grinned. "Why, I think it was back in the Truman days."

"So it is now written." J. Edgar Hoover stated while he stood around a table with Rose Quartz and then-president Harry S. Truman. "With the signing of these Quartz Accords, the Crystal Gems shall no longer interfere in government affairs, and vice versa."

"I'm happy we were able to seal the deal." Rose smiled softly. "After World War II, I don't think I'm in the mood for any more wars."

"So after this, you're just going to stand by and watch so many lives be ended without a second thought?!" a younger Lloyd Waller, then a young trainee on one of his first big assignments, accused Rose. "I thought your whole thing was about peace for everyone!"

"Waller, behave yourself!" Harry S. Truman shouted. "She just doesn't want to fight any more battles, you should know that."

"You want to go back to push-ups, kid?" Hoover threatened Waller. "I'll do it, just try me."

"No sir, I'll be good." Waller said before turning to Rose. "And I'm sorry for talking back to you Ms. Quartz."

"It's alright Lloyd." Rose chuckled and patted Lloyd on the head. "I think you have a bright future ahead of you."

"And wouldn't you know it, I did!" Lloyd grinned nostalgically. "Well, up until the stroke a few years back, but I'm staying alive."

"Dios mio, I don't think you ever told me this," Eduardo said with stars in his eyes before shaking his head and his face became more serious. "But regardless, we need to have a word with them, to settle things once and for all."

"Just a little bit more now. All I need is one last adjustment and victory will finally be mine." Black Rutile snickered to herself in her cavernous lair while making some last modifications to her shattering weapon while White Topaz & Aquamarine stood guarding the mastermind's captives, with Spinel being tied up around the Diamonds & Lemon Jade and Steven being held by Aquamarine's wand.

"So, what is your plan this time Black Rutile?" White Diamond scowled at her traitorous subordinate before the Rutile stepped out of the cave and presented her newest invention.

"Behold, my Breaking Point 2.0!" Black Rutile declared bombastically. "Unlike the one that Bismuth created for the Rebellion; I don't need no spikes to break Gems. One zap and a Gem is left completely disintegrated, not even any shards will be left to put them back together!"

"And I suppose you'll be planning to use them on us?" Yellow asked.

"Quit reading my mind." Black Rutile answered. "Then, I'll film a dire cry for help telling everyone that Steven has killed you all and must be stopped!" After fake-sobbing for an uncomfortably long amount of time, Black Rutile composed herself enough to give the Diamonds an ultimatum. "However, we can let bygones be bygones and I won't obliterate you all if you are filmed by me abolishing Era 3 and naming me the supreme ruler of the Gem race in my Era 4. Are we clear?"

"We will never!" Blue argued hotly. "After all we've done, after all we've been through the past two and a half years, you think we'll render all that meaningless to satisfy your ego?"

"Enough, "my Diamond"!" Aquamarine derisively shut up her former superior. "You shattered Gems regularly back in the day, and yet the only time you draw the line is when you're threatened with being shattered yourself? Unbelievable!"

"It wasn't on a regular basis!" Blue defended herself. "Though it was a bit of an unhealthy habit of mine."

"Enough prattling out of you." Black Rutile scowled. "Allow me to demonstrate how destructive my Breaking Point is." With a few taps of the controls on the Breaking Point 2.0, a holographic reticle popped out that allowed Black Rutile to point the laser at a tree Eyeball was practicing her flame chisel on and fired, destroying the tree and making it look like a tree was never planted there, to begin with, giving Eyeball a spook.

"Is that what you'll do to us?" White nervously asked.

"I'm giving you one hour to decide." Black Rutile stated as she marched back into the cave. "Topaz, continue keeping watch. Aquamarine, I'm going to need your help."

"Right away my Rutile." Aquamarine obliged and fluttered over to her master's side while giving White Topaz a disdainful glare. "Don't ruin this like you always do."

"Roger." White Topaz looked down at the ground before gazing up at the Diamonds. "So, any last words before my Rutile kills you all, or whatever?"

"I got one." Spinel said. "Why do you keep hanging with that creep? You know she's a total sociopathic jerk who doesn't care about anyone but herself!"

"Yeah, but so is Pink!" White Topaz tried to justify herself. "Black Rutile really does want what's best for Homeworld, and she'll do anything to get her way!"

"Well frankly, you just have a bad taste in friends." Lemon Jade said, making the Topaz standing guard think about what she just said. "Sure, a good portion of every problem we faced can all be traced back to Pink Diamond, but she just didn't know any better!"

"And she didn't know any better because of how we treated her." Yellow mused dourly. "And because of that, we're all soon going to die."

"Remember how she always begged and pleaded us for a colony until she was given Earth to make her happy?" Blue chuckled mirthlessly. "And then she started loving it to the point of faking her death and turning against us?"

"Again, because of how we treated her." Yellow added.

"Y'know, this kinda reminds me of a story about one of the times Black Rutile watched over Pink." White Topaz said as she began to have a flashback. "You see, it all began on the planet Zembilla. Remember that place?"

Thousands of years ago on the jungle planet of Zembilla, the orange-furred inhabitants were in danger of extinction. While many of the bandicoot and weasel-like fauna of the planet managed to flee, some weren't as lucky and were cut down by Black Rutile's sword as the invading Gem laughed evilly.

"That's right you furry fools, run while you still can, but I'll always find you!" Black Rutile yelled sadistically, ending the lives of more Zembillan critters by her sword while White Topaz excitedly clapped for her master and Pink Diamond had a wary expression on her face.

"Whoo, get 'em my Rutile, you go girl!" White Topaz cheered before Black Rutile returned to the two other Gems, wiping her face in exhaustion.

"Causing extinction on your own is quite a workout." Black Rutile let out a sigh, snapping her fingers for a Robonoid to turn into a chair for her to sit on. "C'mon Pinky, why don't you give it a shot?"

"I don't think I want to." Pink stated her reluctance, much to her Rutile caretaker's shock and anger. "Just look at these creatures, they're scared of us!"

"And they should be." Black Rutile casually said. "The Gems are among the most powerful empires in the universe right alongside Universal Lords such as King Serpentes and Velhallen Beo. And it's our duty to ensure we remain feared."

"But I don't want to spread fear!" Pink argued like an angry child. "If you think staying in power means bullying others to get our way, then I don't want any part in this."

"Oh, here we go again." Black Rutile rolled her eyes as she got up from her chair. "We have had this discussion tons of times before. You are a Diamond, yet you always act like you aren't ready! You're selfish, bad-tempered, and more importantly, there are far better Gems who are more deserving to lead."

"I wouldn't make her mad if I were you, my Rutile." White Topaz said to her boss. "Remember how one tantrum alone broke her Pearl?"

"That Pearl was easily replaced anyways, what do I care?" Black Rutile said to her bodyguard before turning back to her larger ward. "As much as I hate to say it, I'm basically the only one who can take care of you without losing my mind!"

"Probably because you love being such a big bully." Pink pouted. "You constantly brag about how a mere Rutile like you was so dedicated and hard-working that White Diamond noticed and gave you such a high seat on her court, but you let it go to your head."

Enraged at the insult, Black Rutile jumped up and slapped the Diamond in the face. "Oh really, kinda like how you expect everything to go your way just because you're a Diamond?" Black Rutile argued back. "Newsflash you accursed pebble, crying and whining won't get you everything you want! If you want respect from the other Diamonds, you must earn it! Keyword being earn!" At that final word, she let out a loud sigh, showing reluctance to deal with Pink any longer. "All forces fall back; this invasion is a bust."

"Well, I guess you got what you wanted." White Topaz said to the Diamond.

"But don't think this is over." Black Rutile added with a scowl. "Once we return to Homeworld, I will inform the Diamonds of how we failed because of you. Are we clear?"

"Yes, Black Rutile." Pink said sadly while walking back to her leg ship with the Rutile & Topaz following her.

"Oh yes, we heard about what happened on Zembilla." White nodded in realization. "But Black outright slapping Pink?! We may have been hard on her, but at least we never went that low!"

"You think that's bad, you should've seen how she reacted to Pink getting shattered." White Topaz responded.

"My subordinates, I have the most horrifying of news." Black Rutile sobbed dramatically to her army in the immediate aftermath of Pink Diamond's presumed death. "Our dearest Pink Diamond is no more, struck down where she stood by an insurgent Rose Quartz!" However, her crying soon turned into maniacal laughter now that she was finally free of the Diamond she loathed so much. "At long last, freedom! Pink Diamond is dead, she finally got what she deserves for being such a brat! ALL HAIL BLACK RUTILE!"

"ALL HAIL BLACK RUTILE!" the Rutile's forces began chanting before their leader suddenly donned a black-on-white pinstripe suit with a matching fedora and a white tie and started dancing like a smooth criminal. "ALL HAIL BLACK RUTILE! ALL HAIL BLACK RUTILE!"

"Did that actually happen?" Lemon Jade asked White Topaz, who looked rather nervous.

"Sorry, my imagination tends to get a little vivid." White Topaz replied. "Blame watching too many Earth music videos."

"Well, that's another indication you're in with the wrong crowd." Spinel quipped. "What business do you have running with a sociopathic revolutionist and many other insurgent Gems?"

"Like I said, I thought Black Rutile truly wanted what was best for Homeworld." White Topaz continued. "Plus, I thought she was my friend, but recent events kept proving me wrong."

"My Rutile, your guests should be arriving here any minute." Cinnabar, a crimson-skinned Gem with a military buzzcut and wearing a matching jacket with orange trimming, said to her commander. "The Rubies, Emerald, Aquamarine, Holly Blue Agate, Emerald, and Morganite should be arriving any moment now."

"Very good Cinnabar." Black Rutile purred as she played Steven's message to Gems across the galaxy on loop. "I've waited too long to put this plan into action, and he doesn't know a thing about it."

Just then, Black Rutile heard a door open and a childish voice storm in. "Hopefully this isn't another excuse to sling insults my way just because I threatened that stupid Steven's life!"

"You think being a pariah for endangering Pink Diamond's brat is bad, try being powerless to stop a bunch of unruly Quartzes from ruining everything you worked so hard to get into order!"

"Or a blasted human being allowed to get away with stealing your property!"

"I don't really care what you all say, at least I can still do what I do best."

"Perfect." Black Rutile grinned before she took an elevator to greet her guests. "Greetings to you all. I suppose you all know why you're here."

"What I want to know is what are these Rubies doing here?" Aquamarine asked while pointing to Eyeball and Navy.

"Hey, I nearly killed Steven, y'know!" Eyeball argued with the short blue Gem. "Show some respect!"

"Relax Ruby, don't want to make her uncomfortable here." Navy stuck herself between the pair.

"So, Black Rutile, what brings the Striking Shadow of the Rebellion here?" Holly Blue asked Black Rutile.

"Oh no Holly, you don't understand." Black Rutile corrected the Agate. "I'm the one who brought you altogether because your lives were all ruined by Pink Diamond! Or as everyone insists he be called, Steven Universe." She then began pointing to each of her visitors.

"Aquamarine, you were among Blue Diamond's finest and successfully captured Steven to put him on trial for his mother's heinous deeds."

"Rubies, you attempted to capture him twice and even nearly killed him once!"

"Holly Blue, you ruled the Human Zoo with an iron fist before the Crystal Gems played you like a fool. I mean, the Pearl didn't even bother to hide her star."

"Emerald, your Sun Incinerator was pilfered by a human of all creatures and a bunch of Off-Color Gems."

"And Morganite, you can no longer toss out any Gems that dare break your rules."

"That is very true." Morganite nodded. "So in other words, you wish to become like Rose Quartz and fight back against tyranny?"

"Yes, in a way." Black Rutile answered. "As the supreme commander of what I dub the Rutile Rebels, together we shall punish the Crystal Gems for oppressing against the hard-working Gems who were only doing what they were made to do, before abolishing Era 3 and establishing myself as the ruler of all Gems in the Diamonds' place."

"YEAH!" the new rebellion cheered and pumped their fists at the thought of revenge on Steven.

"Now then, here's what you all need to do." Black Rutile declared as she began laying out her plans on a hologram from her visor.

"Holly Blue, you shall remain at the Human Zoo, but you shall also serve as my eyes and ears on the Quartzes and human slaves residing there."

"Emerald, continue hunting down the so-called Lars of the Stars with assistance from my accomplice Cinnabar, who I've assigned to help reclaim lost colonies."

"Morganite, your assignment is like Holly Blue's, keep spying on your fellow Gems and relay what important information you gather to me."

"And finally, Ruby, or Navy as you've been called, a Yellow Zircon is running for democratic leader of Homeworld. With your expertise in manipulation, you can squeeze in as her campaign manager and make her the perfect mouthpiece for my insurgency. Are we clear?"

"Understood." The Gems obliged, except for Eyeball and Aquamarine, who Black Rutile didn't mention.

"Hey, what about us?!" Eyeball yelled.

"Don't tell me I have to partner up with her." Aquamarine groaned.

"Oh, you'll learn your places in my plot in time." Black Rutile answered. "But in the meantime, I have another spy to attend to. Good day."

As the small Gems walked away, Black Rutile turned her back to them as she keyed up a screen showing Volleyball. "Pink Pearl, report."

Even further back in time, not too long after being freed by Steven from White Diamond's control, Pink Pearl wandered around a Homeworld far different from the one she had last seen. Last she remembers, White Diamond had taken her in after Pink Diamond accidentally broke her eye and now it seems like thousands of years have passed in the blink of an eye since then.

"What even is this place?" Pink Pearl muttered fretfully. "Everything's just so different. I mean, where was Pink this whole time?"

"She's gone." Black Rutile's voice rang out, scaring the Pearl as the Rutile emerged from a shadowy alleyway. "Ah, the replaceable servant, long time no see."

"Black Rutile, you're still here?!" Pink Pearl yelled.

"Yeah, and me too!" White Topaz responded while popping up from behind her boss. "Hiya Pinky, how's the eye treating you?"

"What happened here?" Pink Pearl asked. "I mean, Homeworld looks so different from when White Diamond used her powers on me, and now everyone's talking about these Crystal Gem whatevers. Could you please get me up to speed, Black Rutile?"

"It's quite simple really." Black Rutile placed a hand on the Pearl's shoulder as she began explaining. "All of this is Pink's fault. The little brat just couldn't help causing a scene to get her way, so she faked her death and caused a war that ended so many lives. When I participated in that war, I knew deep down something was wrong with the Rose Quartz identity she created and sought to investigate."

"And that's how you found out Pink Diamond was Rose Quartz, right?" Pink Pearl realized.

"Yeah, took a lot of work too, but it made revealing what we found to White Diamond all the more worth it!" White Topaz answered.

"Hundreds of years' worth even." Black Rutile added. "All to learn that this was merely a little game she was playing, and you were but one of her many playmates she cast aside."

"Are you serious?" Pink Pearl continued.

"Why yes!" Black Rutile exclaimed joyfully while circling the Pearl. "All of this was just one big thousands years-long tantrum simply because she couldn't get the Diamonds to listen, and now she's made them waste all their resources and manpower too while doing nothing but cry. But now, we can make a change. If you spy on that Steven boy for me and report back with your findings, I promise you shall finally get payback for what Pink did to you."

"Wait, spy on Steven?" Pink Pearl wondered aloud. "I barely know him, but he seems like such a nice boy."

"Yeah, a nice boy that used the Diamonds to essentially take over." Black Rutile said. "All it took was one stupid joke to bring freaking White Diamond to her knees! You know how ridiculous that is, right?!"

"Okay, that does seem a bit ridiculous." Pink Pearl agreed reluctantly before Black Rutile offered a handshake.

"Now then, do we have a deal?" the Rutile asked with an award-winning smile. Pink Pearl gazed at her gloved hand and back at Black Rutile before she let out a huff and shook.

"Fine, I'll do what you want." Pink Diamond's Pearl accepted the offer. "But you won't do anything to harm him, understand?"

"Cross my nonexistent heart." Black Rutile complied, making an X-shape with her free hand over the diamond symbol on her chest before crossing her fingers behind her back.

"So, that's how she started putting everything together?" Lemon Jade wondered.

"Sometimes I wonder who's more at fault, her or us?" Yellow bowed her head in shame.

"All of us were to blame." White stated. "We mistreated Pink, then she started the Rebellion and led to Black Rutile gaining power."

"It's all our fault!" Blue yelled and emitted a forcefield that compelled the other Gems to start crying just like she was.

"Can you all keep it down?!" Eyeball yelled while swiping her flame chisel against another tree and shedding a few tears. "I'm trying to practice here!"

"Has she been here this whole time?" White Topaz asked as she wiped her tears. "But anyways, I don't think it's all your fault. Pink wasn't just an annoying baby. She just wanted to be seen, she just had some really bad ways of getting attention."

"Alright bluey, talk." A soldier at Area 42 said to Lapis when she was locked in an interrogation room. "What's your deal with the Crystal Gems?"

"My deal?" Lapis asked. "Okay, it all started when I was sent to terraform Earth-"

"I don't need your life story babe, just tell me everything important that happened between 2014 and now!" The soldier commanded the terraformer.

"Alright." Lapis complied. "I was stuck in a mirror for thousands of years until Steven let me out and I stole the ocean to try and get home. When I succeeded, it instead got me roped into a mission to invade Earth which ended when I fused with Jasper, and we used each other as our personal punching bags."

"So, is it true that you were the reason behind the disappearance of the ocean?" the soldier continued. "Killing 550 people across three third-world countries, nearly driving thousands of fishing villages out of business and endangering dozens of species of aquatic life?"

"Yeah, pretty much." Lapis declared in defeat.

"Miss Peridot was it?" another soldier began interrogating Peridot. "You might remember when you hijacked America's television broadcast signals to deliver a message to this Yellow Diamond, correct?"

"Yes." Peridot confirmed. "My original purpose was to check up on the current progress of a superweapon buried beneath the Earth that will destroy the entire planet once it awakens. However, the Crystal Gems informed me that what I was doing was bad for their home, and had no choice but to enlist my help in stopping the beast. Afterwards, I lived comfortably on Earth watching trashy TV shows."

"Like Camp Pining Hearts?" the soldier asked the green Gem.

"You watch that show too?!" Peridot squealed in excitement. "I may be imprisoned for crimes against humanity, but we can both agree that reboot is trash, right?"

"It's so bad, I found myself laughing like crazy!" the soldier replied.

"Jasper, Jasper, Jasper." A soldier tutted while seated across from Jasper. "What can you tell us about the monster situation?"

"Other than it was my fault?" Jasper cowered while covering her face in shame. "He just shattered me and went insane!"

"Who shattered you?" the soldier kept egging Jasper on for more answers. "And what is shattering exactly?"

"Don't talk to me, I'll just ruin your life just like I did his." Jasper groaned and curled up underneath the table.

"Okay you little one-eyed monster, either give us what we want, or you and your friends are gonna end up like that little freak over there." A soldier that was confronting Volleyball threatened before turning on a light, revealing a dissected Watermelon Steven laying on an operating table while a pair of scientists ate its remains. "Okay, to be honest, I'm not sure if you can be dissected, but it doesn't hurt to try."

"How much do you want out of me?" Volleyball asked.

"Just some basics for discrepancy, miss." The soldier continued. "Like for example, what's with the eye? I've seen some ocular damage in my line of work, but nothing like this."

"This, it was an accident by Pink Diamond." Volleyball answered while gesturing to her broken eye. "I'm sure you're just as tired of her being demonized so much, but it was an accident."

"Accident how?" the soldier kept interviewing.

"Bismuth, Bismuth, Bismuth." The last Gem to be interrogated was, of course, Bismuth. "Before we start, I must ask, bismuths are supposed to be metals, so what business do you have being a Gem?"

"Does it look like I care?" Bismuth asked. "But what I do care about is saving Steven. He's been letting all this pain and suffering he's endured for years build up inside of him and now he's let it turn him into a big monster! And if we don't act soon, he's gonna stay that way!"

"My word, is this true?" the soldier gasped.

"You bet." Bismuth replied confidently. "Look, I know we don't see eye to eye right now, but we need all the help we can get to save him and Earth from Black Rutile. You wouldn't dare let a child suffer this much, right?"

The soldier got up and paced around for a bit before he came to a decision. Though these Gems were supposed to be their enemies, he didn't want to harm an innocent, traumatized young man either. As he sat down, Bismuth put on a small smile.

"I'll talk to the president and see what I can do." The soldier said.

"Thanks sir." Bismuth nodded. "Any little bit of help means the universe to us."

"Mr. President, Vice President, General Waller, we reached a breakthrough." The soldier declared as he stepped into a room where Eduardo, Theresa, and Lloyd were talking with Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl. "It seems this monster was once their ward and he has changed into this form through years of childhood trauma combined with a bit of borderline personality disorder."

"I see." Lloyd nodded before turning to the three Gems. "And you just let this happen? Makes me wonder who the real monster is!"

"Yes, I get it, it's all our fault!" Pearl broke down crying. "Go ahead, lock us up, execute us, just anything to rid Steven of us!"

"Pearl, calm down." Garnet soothed the ex-servant. "We may have been partially to blame here, but it's not entirely our fault. Steven just has very unhealthy ways of coping, and now his stress has built up to toxic levels. So please, we're begging you, we need your help."

"Ditto." Amethyst responded. "We gotta save Steven before it's too late. Plus, it's just as much our fault as it is that Black Rutile jerk's! She's been stringing everyone along all this time, and you guys are all no different! Seriously, did humans get THIS dumb over the past thousands of years?"

"Dang kid, you got fire." Theresa chuckled. "I like that. What say when this is all over, we have a little spar? I am proficient in krav maga from studying abroad, after all."

"Oh, you're on!" Amethyst declared while shaking the vice president's hand.

"Well, I see now that you Gems haven't changed a bit." Eduardo stated while taking Garnet's hand. "If there's anything you need, we're here to help." Suddenly, an alarm began going off. "Ay caramba, what now?!"

"Mr. President, we have a break-in!" an elderly man in a black suit yelled as he and his African American partner burst into the interrogation room. "A middle-aged man and an Indian girl suddenly came out of a portal riding on a pink lion!"

"Wait, what?!" Eduardo yelled just as Connie, Greg, and Lion burst into the room ready to rescue the Gems. "Everyone, please remain calm!"

"Don't worry guys, we're here to save you!" Connie exclaimed while drawing her sword and pointing it at General Waller. "You let the Gems go, the world needs them!"

However, as the dust began to settle, the two human allies began to realize that not everything was pretty okay, as Greg looked around the room and asked "What did we miss?" while Lion let out a purr.

Back in the woods, the Diamonds seemed to have reached an understanding with White Topaz, with Black Rutile seemingly none the wiser. However, that would all soon change.

"So, do you agree that Steven is better than Black Rutile passes him off as now?" Yellow Diamond said.

"Yeah, I've met him before, so I'm speaking from experience here." White Topaz answered, unaware of her master angrily watching from the cave. "Steven really is that nice of a guy. Sure, he's still got a few flaws like breathing down everyone's neck and thinking the universe can't move without him being the center of everything, but his heart is in the right place and has changed everyone around him. Unlike some Gems I know."

"So that's how it is." Black Rutile angrily declared as she stormed out of her cave with Aquamarine in tow. "After all you've done for me, after all we've been through together, all it takes is just words to turn on me?! Are you so stupid that you don't even know you're being brainwashed?!"

"We aren't brainwashing her Rutile." White Diamond declared while slowly wriggling free from her Spinel-made restraints. "We're just showing her that she has bad taste in friends and you must be stopped!"

"Well, have it your way." Black Rutile snapped her fingers, cuing Aquamarine to take back her wand and release Steven from the forcefield. "Steven, destroy your tormentors now!"

Unfortunately for Black Rutile, Steven was too confused to even listen and bashed his head against the mountainside, causing a cave-in that destroyed her lair and a rockslide to nearly crush her before he began running away.

"Steven!" the Diamonds yelled as one and began chasing Steven back to Beach City as the pink monster began leaving a trail of destruction in his wake.

In Little Homeworld, the Gems living & studying there were going about a seemingly normal day when the monster stampeded into town, destroying much of the village in its path and causing multiple Gems to run & hide in fear.

"Hey guys, wait for me!" Spinel cried before Lemon Jade grabbed her by the arm.

"No Spinel, we have to stop Black Rutile!" the Jade fusion bravely declared before twirling Spinel around like an Olympic hammer to toss at the mastermind.

"Ah Spinel, almost forgot about you, just like Pink did." Black Rutile said while heaving Spinel off her. "You remember how I gave you the Rejuvenator and the Injector, didn't you?"

"Yeah, that was you." Spinel answered.

"You may not know it Spinel, but this garden contains secrets even you didn't know." Black Rutile explained to the abandoned playmate not too long ago, soon after running into her while testing the Warp Pads. "I helped build this atrocious locale, so naturally I'm the only one who knows these secrets."

"But other Gems helped you, how come they didn't know?" Spinel asked.

"Save all questions until after you finish the job." Black Rutile answered before she turned on some lights, revealing a secret room beneath the garden housing a massive Injector Spinel would soon use on Earth. "Now then, your job is to go down to Earth, inject this pink bio-poison that will slowly kill all organic life, and take down anyone that stands in your way with this." The Rutile then presented the Rejuvenator to Spinel. "Should you fail, you will pay the price when the time comes. Are we clear?"

With a sadistic grin, Spinel took the Rejuvenator from Black Rutile. "Crystal."

"And as for you," Black Rutile yelled after tossing Spinel to the ground and storming towards White Topaz. "how dare you betray your only friend?!"

"You're a bad friend!" White Topaz argued back as she summoned her brass knuckles and punched Black Rutile in the face, while Aquamarine & Eyeball contended with Spinel & Lemon Jade. "You always treated me like garbage because I was too nice for you and never showed remorse for it, among all the other horrible things you did like manipulating, gaslighting, and even murder!"

"Oh please, we Gems were natural sociopaths before Steven came along, we never showed remorse for anything!" Black Rutile said while readying her Breaking Point 2.0.

"You were only using Steven's own trauma to your advantage so you can use him for galactic domination!" White Topaz yelled, causing her now-former boss to let out a hoarse, sarcastic laugh.

"You know something Topaz?" Black Rutile asked as she aimed her shattering device. "You're right. I do deserve better minions, hence why Aquamarine and Eyeball have stuck by my side throughout all of this. So in other words, consider yourself replaced."

"TARGET CONFIRMED." The Breaking Point 2.0 declared in a mechanical monotone while Black Rutile aimed it straight at her Topaz. "COMMENCE SHATTERING IN FIVE. FOUR. THREE. TWO. O-"

Without a moment's hesitation, Spinel ripped the Breaking Point 2.0 from Black Rutile's arm and smashed it to the ground before shoving Black Rutile into a tree before taking White Topaz & Lemon Jade by the hand. "Come on, Steven's waiting for us!"

As the three Gems raced off after Steven, Black Rutile was helped up by her two remaining minions, who were worried for their boss's safety.

"My Rutile, are you alright?" Aquamarine asked worriedly.

"What happened to this?" Eyeball wondered while picking up the damaged remains of the Breaking Point 2.0.

Black Rutile did not answer as she stepped towards the clearing where she attempted to shatter White Topaz and shakily took off her green visor with a warm, but creepy smile. Suddenly, the Rutile snapped the visor in two with her bare hands, furious that everything had been falling apart. And now, she only had one boy to blame.

"STEEEEE-VEEEEEN UNIVEEEEEEERSE!"

Ooh, she's pissed! Even with the government and the Diamonds on their side, is it too late for Steven to be saved from both himself and Black Rutile? How many more suggestions from devoted readers can I insert at the last minute like Connie and Greg's attempted Area 42 raid? Join us for the next chapter where we finally see Steven again, but things will be way different on his end. Be seeing you. Also, special credit to TheCurryAstute for letting me mention his character Velhallen Beo.

Background

Weapons training: Dawn typically uses her magic in a fight but in cases where magic isn't practical she has extensive battle training from the Order, the Gum Gums, and the Trollhunters/Gunmars Resistance. She can use just about any weapon but her magic split blades are her favorite and what she's most comfortable with. One is named after herself and the other her sister (Dawn and Dusk) as they are twin blades that are split.

Dawn watched the Round Table train and learned how to weild a sword that way. She is also proficient in knife/dagger throwing. Can weild an axe and throw a spear with great aim. She can also use a bow and arrow though she doesn't like them as much. Anything around her can be technically be used as a weapon but that doesn't mean it's an effective one.

Abilities

- Dawn is a powerful mage who learned magic during Camelots golden age. Merlins books and teachings helped her but sneaking out from the castle and exploring the woods around Camelots walls allowed her to truly learn magic for herself and what it means too her as a mage. She is most powerful with elemental spells as she learned from the woods and not a proper teacher. She has trouble with things like teleportation, telekinesis, and transmutation spells/hexes unless the spell she uses is connected to elemental magic.

- Her elemental magic attracts animals. She is good at calming stressed/angry animals as they can sense her magic and trust her. She can not speak directly to animals but she has an understanding of what their saying/feeling when they talk to her. If she listens closey enough plants also emit feelings and tell stories.

- Knows many different languages as after Camelots fall she took the time to explore the world. Has a slight accent but does a good job in sounding like a local. Strickler also taught her several codes like morse and tap that they use to have conversations during boring meetings.

- She is very knowledgeable on subjects like math, science, history, psychology, philosophy, biology, art history, anthropology, sociology, and many other subjects. She loves learning and often reads for hours at a time in her freetime. She absorbs knowledge like a sponge and one of her favorite past times is to listen to someone tell stories of their culture/past. Listening to others inspires her own creativity. She could sit and listen to Nomura, Strickler, and Otto's stories all day.

- Very empathetic and kind she just wants everyone to win. Whether she's a GumGum, an Order Spy, a freelance agent, or part of the Trollhunters she knows everyone and has seen their better side. She wants to believe everyone can be redeamed. Dawn wants to bring peace and when peace isn't an option she's hesitant to kill and perfers to injure or incapacitate instead. By nature she is a loving person and this has been used against her but she refuses to let herself see kindess as a weakness even if it has hurt her.

- Dawn is very adaptable when it comes to her environment or status. It's why when she's taken into the Order she rises quickly in the Changeling ranks and becomes a spy. Throughout her long life she has lived as a princess, a noble, a hand maiden, a pauper, and for a time a servant. Going through these various statuses she has learned a lot about herself and the world. She tries to treat everyone with respect and decency depsite status.

- During the GumGum war she became an amazing strategist and spy. Her skills to shift into any form allow her easy infiltration into an enimies camp. She uses her spy skills to watch how someone fights before devising a plan to counter their style and bring them down. She's best at making her enimies fall by finding their weaknesses and using it against them.

- Borne before electronics were around, Dawn often turned to the arts for entertainment. Hundreds of years of practice makes her a talented artist and story teller/song writer. She loves drawing and writing and has made hundreds of journals over the centuries. She has met great artists who have changed history over her life. Some being William Shakespeare, Leonardo Di Vinci, Michelangelo, Donetello, Raphael, Vincent Van Gogh, Charles Dickens, Virgina Wolfe, Pablo Picasso, Jackson Pollock, and Frida.

Weaknesses

- Dawn usually thinks things out and takes a calculated graceful approach to her fighting but when it comes to her close friends or family she can be very impulsive. She sometimes rushes into dangerous situations head first. She's also very stubborn and often gets in trouble for her sharp tongue.

- She is very protective of her friends and family. Dawn will do anything to keep them safe and has struggled with a savior complex ever since the fall of Camelot. She deals with severe self worth problems from unaddressed feelings and this causes her to think everyone is above her and their life is worth more than hers. Dawn has gotten hurt many times because she fears loosing those closest to her.

- Dawn has severe memory probelms from trauma and magical accidents/incidents. This leaves her vunerable to manipulation and can make her gullible at times. She is not naive and is often able to figure out who is her true ally and who is not but it can be hard to realise what's happening if she feels she's surrounded by friends/family. The Order especially her designated guardian or mentor Strickler have made it hard for her know what's right and what's wrong.

- Since she has been hurt and manipulated most of her life Dawna struggles with sharing things. Secrets are a common occurence and this can cause tension in a group setting. She keeps much of her past hidden and feels guilty about the secrets she hides but feels her friends/family would abandon her if they knew how she really felt and what she's been through.

- When she's hurt she often ignores it and lets the problem get worse because she doesn't want to address it. Her friends often have to drag her to a healer for treatment. This causes a lot of problems. She struggles with opening up so if she admits she's hurt or lets you bandage/heal her it means she trusts you far more than she'll admit.

- As a shapeshifter Dawn can shapeshift into anyone. After joining the Order her powers are put to use for infiltration/spying. Wanting to impress her higher ups Dawn often took her assignments too seriously and forgets who she is. She has identity problems and this can cause her great distress. However she has found ways to cope with this and Otto helped her master her powers so she'd control them and they wouldn't control her.

- After the Fall of Camelot, growing up in the Order Dawn has suffered many punishments for messing up an assignment/job. Strickler and Otto shielded her from the worst of it and sometimes Nomura would take the blame for Dawn but she has a lot of unresolved trauma that is buried deep within her. She will always feel indebted to Strickler and the other changelings but she also knows the Order is not a good place for her. The only good thing that came from all the punishments she's endured is she now has a high pain tolerance and she knows how the Order works.

- Dawn's maturity often fluctuates. She goes from being a young teen to an older adult yet she's always in the body of someone inbetween. Dawn could change her shape but mentally she's still that teenager who watched Camelot fall and wasn't able to save her family before they destroyed eachother.
