For those who don't know. Fusion is when two gems, a fictional alien species, combine together to make one, more powerful gem. Most fusions are temporary and are used to get something done. Some fusions, such as Cornelian, are full-time and mean that the two people involved love each other enough to become one being with them.
Red Agate Facet 5E3M Cut 9LC was made in the middle of the gem war due to high demand for commanders to control all the quartz soldiers being pumped out. She, and the many others just like her, served under White Diamond. While it was an honor, the gem never truly saw her diamond, only paintings and other depictions. This was because, to put it simply, there were so many of her! Red Agate Facet 5E3M Cut 9LC was completely replaceable, and the lustrous, luminous diamonds had no time for common, replaceable gems. So, day to day, year to year, Red Agate Facet 5E3M Cut 9LC did her job as best as she could without expecting anything great. Every day she went on organizing soldiers, going over plans and strategies and then sending them off. Sometimes, if the attack was important, she would go with the soldiers to the battle field. When the war had been lost and was finally over, the diamonds found themselves with too many gems and began to put them to work any way they could. Red Agate Facet 5E3M Cut 9LC would still be a commander, but this time over a ship and a team of rubies.
And a Tiger Eye. Specifically, Tiger Eye Facet 5W0S Cut 5BD.
She was a navigator gem, flying the ships and scouting different planets to see if they would be of any used to Homeworld, spending thousands of years at a time cooped up in one ship. These gems were rare, but simply because they weren't needed very often and not because of social status. Tiger Eye Facet 5W0S Cut 5BD had been around long before the war, but during the war was used to comb the galaxy for traitors, spies, and places to plant new gems in kindergardens. The job had calmed down and gotten boring after the war ended, and Tiger Eye Facet 5W0S Cut 5BD and Red Agate Facet 5E3M Cut 9LC spent the years away, just talking and laughing. The rubies would play games with each other and sometimes sing, and for hundreds of years, nothing happened.
Until, one day, when nobody was paying attention, a foreign object crashed into the ship. In a rush to redirect the ship and check to see if everything was alright, one of the rubies pressed a button that opened the exit to the ship. The vacuum of space sent the rubies flying out, and Red Agate Facet 5E3M Cut 9LC would've followed suit, had Tiger Eye Facet 5W0S Cut 5BD not grabbed her to save her. In the adrenaline of the moment the the pure connection the two felt in that very moment, the two fused to form Cornelian. There was no time to get flustered and realize what happened. Using their newfound strength, Cornelian was able to get to the control panel and close the doors.
Bashful and embarrassed, the two unfused and began trying to contact Homeworld to report the incident, flustered and pretending nothing happened. Except, it wasn't working. The two realized half of the ship's controls weren't working and all communication was cut off. Both gems agreed that they would stop on the nearest planet to fix the ship and get back to Homeworld as soon as possible, and that nearest planet happened to be Earth. The two got off and looked around in shock at the most unfamiliar scene they'd ever come across. Earth was the opposite of Homework, it was filled with organic life. Tiger Eye started to wonder and Red Agate followed suit, not wanting to be left behind. In the back of their heads, they both knew they weren't coming back for the ship.
The two gems had been wondering for about three weeks. They both don't recall how, or when, it happened, but they were no longer Agate and Tiger. They were strong, tall, two gem, orange, four-eyed Cornelian. Perhaps they were walking with their tails intertwined, laughing at a joke when it happened. Or maybe Tiger tripped and Agate caught her, and then they just... fused. But, however it happened, whenever it happened, neither had tried to unfuse and it was an unspoken rule that the fusion wasn't friendly, but romantic. Cornelian felt like she'd been alive for years.
Cornelian had existed from about three days when she stumbled across the scene of floating islands. She smiled to herself, amazed at how marvelous and unique the scene was and how marvelous and unique Earth itself could be, if it wanted to. She understood why the diamonds would want a planet like this in their possession. Yet, despite the gem's wonder, there was a force in her, slight fear, that wouldn't let her get closer to the sight, despite an urge to explore. With a small sigh, she sat down, four kind eyes drinking in the scene in front of her from a slight distance.
