Traversing through Twilight [Lapis]

Sounds of scampering and the bangs of a plasma blaster filled Traverse Town's second district. A dozen Heartless pursued after Peridot as the technician ran away while firing her blaster at them. She occasionally glanced forward to see where she was going, but usually just saw more of those black creatures rise up in front of her. Were these things just on a never-ending pursuit to shatter her?! It seemed like it.

Rounding a corner into an alley with her breath wearing thin, the gem ran smack-dab into a wall. Dead end. Great. Grumbling and rubbing her gem as she recovered from the brief impact, she found herself cornered as many of the Heartless rose from the ground, blocking her only exit. One even tried to attack her from behind by grabbing her head, but Peridot shocked the creature with a wave of electricity, then fired it into the air with her blaster. Before any others could lunge at her, Peridot ran straight towards the wall, using her Limb Enhancers to run directly up it. Stopping on the roof of the building she ran up, Peridot looked down at the bunch she ditched, trying to scale the wall futily. 

" Ha! Try to get me now you little freaks! " Peridot taunted, only to quickly have something hit her head again. Quickly recovering from the blow and rubbing her bruised head, Peridot turned around, irritated.
" Okay, what's the big idea... "
Many more Heartless were already surrounding her, but these ones had wings. Wings...
" Okay, so you can FLY NOW!? What next, teleportation?! "
Peridot shouted angrily, shaking her fist in the air. This was getting ridiculous! Why were these little black pests attacking her anyway?! She noted that some of the flying ones already seemed to have battle damage. Maybe these things were pursuing someone else also? Either way, it seemed like running wasn't an option. Killing these things would just be followed by more rising up in their place... She couldn't think of anything to do. Well, when in doubt, use violence. Charging her blaster and readying her aim at one of the Heartless, Peridot's expression of irritation and now almost anger was deadlocked onto them. She was not going to die yet.

I hope this suffices! I've had a little bit of writer's block lately, but I managed to pump this out.

stand in the rain, stand your ground, even when it's all crashing down

L

eave me alone!

That was the formost thought in the ocean gem's mind at the moment. She was just... just so tired of these things! They represented her failure, her horrible horrible mistake. They represented Jasper's freedom and the destruction of her only friend's home. They had gotten what they want, they tricked her and consumed a world, so why couldn't they just leave her to her grief? Away from Pearl for the moment all she wanted to was unload all her emotions, was she not even allowed that....? Probably not. The creatures in flight cared as much about her as the world they had consumed before. Despite how much water she forced upon them they simply came back again and again...

In an effort to be free of them she took to the sky on her watery wings, however the beats seemed perfectly capable of matching her speed across the air above the town. Oddly enough after a while they just seemed to stop. It only took a moment's attention to see why.

Peridot

The creatures tastes had shifted it seemed to the technician. That was fine... Lapis held no love for Peridot and even if she did she was no fighter-the marks upon those things proved as much. She began to turn and fly off when an overwhelming sense of guilt seemed to run through her.

Steven woudn't abandon her

It was probaly the time She spent with him, but the boys nature seemed to rub off on her-if oonly a little. Because of her hos whole world was gone.... she refused to let his ideals die to. So in response to the creatures Lapis focused her energy. Slowly two puddles of water would form around around Peridot. These puddles would take on the gem's own form and defend her from harm. That... That was really all she could do right now. Once the conflict was over Lapis lowered herself back to the ground and dispersed her wings before sitting down. There, she had done what she could to help Peridot but she still didn't have much desire to speak to her fellow Gem if she could help it.

After a short rest she stood back up and began walking again... only for her ankle to be grabbed by a Neo Shadow below, forcing her to the ground. As the creature swiftly brought it's fearsome claws down upon her, Lapis could only think of one thing. She couldn't defend herself quickly enough...but this way... at least she coudn't burden him or anyone else anymore....

♥Hope this is good for you!

" Whhhaaat. "
Peridot had began to fear her own doom, but not before two puddles appeared near her that soon took her own appearance and fended off the nearby Heartless. She could still hear the earthbound ones clawing away at the building's base, but her attention was currently on an all-too-familiar blue gem.

She was about to speak up after a little bit of awkward silence between the two, but a Heartless had arose to attack Lapis. This one was much more intimidating than the other small ones she faced. Well, there went the sudden reinforcement. More flying ones surrounded the two also, but not before an idea sparked in Peridot's head. She might be able to get this big one out of her way and knock most of the flying ones out with one go. Maybe... 

She extended her palm out as a neon green beam of light encased the shadow creature, stopping its movement. Spinning the encased creature around to strike down some of the flying Heartless, Peridot was about to finish off the encased creature with a close-range blast as she readied her canon. However, the Neo Shadow broke free of the tractor beam as she put more of her energy into her blaster and promptly tackled the technician. Peridot managed to fire her plasma blast just as it came on top of her, but the shock knocked both her and the shadow off the roof.

While she landed away from the swarm of heartless below, Peridot hit her head against the ground as a crack formed in her visor. Panic flowed through he ras she reached up to her gem, but was relieved to find the triangular peridot intact. Now was NOT the time to retreat into her gem. Some sparks flew from her blaster, but it was still operational. Another thing she had to fix now. But the numbers of Heartless were now much less. It seemed like they had stopped spawning out of the ground as much as they did earlier.
