Location: Beach City Woods
Time: 3:39 PM

In the far outskirts of Beach City, a large forest that spanned up to miles upon miles of dense foliage sat in total peace. The sounds of insects crawling in the dirt, birds singing in the trees, and the fresh air breezing throughout the greenery is all that could be heard.
Everything seemed to be was at a state of total serenity. However, this peace wasn't going to last that long. Why you may ask?
"ₐₐₐₐₐaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH-"
TWHACK!
There was your answer.
Falling to the ground after hitting a large oak tree was a small blue humanoid creature with four legs and wings that appeared to be made out of water, two gemstones that were located on it's left eye and cheek respectively. It was also dressed in a long sleeved shirt that had a pattern of teal and red, along with a blue tie. The humanoid looked up, completely dizzy at first but it's facial features changed to that of pure terror as a large figure slowly approached it, calling out to it in a low sounding voice that would make even the bravest of souls soil their trousers.
"Pathetic little vermin, is that ALL you've got!?"The figure growled, slowly approaching the downed gem in a menacing manner. Bluebird Azurite's look of fear shifted to boiling anger before reaching for her eye, pulling out a cutlass made entirely out of ice.
"DIE!!!"was all that Bluebird shouted, right before swinging the sword in a swift motion as it created ice projectiles that targeted her attacker. The incoming icicles would change into blades in hopes of impaling whatever was after her, but the figure simply pulled out a weapon of his very own and with one clean swing...
CRAAAAAAACK!!!
The ice blades shattered upon impact as the figure dashed forward and right before Bluebird had a chance to react, she was punted against the tree once again. The Gem gave out a weak sigh of pain before her body was engulfed by a bright light, separating into two different beings. The duo consisted of A small pixie like gem with light blue skin and a red gem with a square-shaped afro and a gemstone replacing her left eye. Both of which took in large breath of air, trying to regain their thoughts but it didn't take long for a large shadow to loom over them. The two gems both looked up in total terror to see a closer look of their attacker, his height completely dwarfing them in size.
Standing above the gems was what only could be described as a monster, cladded in medieval armor, brown furry boots that were stained with a mix of mud and soot, a thick brown loincloth. This bizarre attacker held a large curved sword and had the appearance and massive physique of a well-built human, but his facial features were a totally different story. It had the face and brow of a gorilla, the jagged ears and razor sharp fangs of a wolf, spikey black hair, and demonic red eyes that peered into the gem's soul.
The abomination that stood before the two quivering gems was the infamous Apostle that has searched for a worthy opponent for three centuries, Nosferatu Zodd.
"How pitiful, you tried your best to win this fight but I've seen through your little pathetic façade. Now, it's time for both of you to die!" Zodd snarled, raising his sword over his head to finish off the two gems. Refusing to die like this, Eyeball steadily got up before unsheathing a red knife from her gemstone.
"DIE, FILTHY EARTH DWELLING TRASH!" The Ruby shouted, lunging towards the Apostle before jabbing the knife into his chest. However, Zodd only saw the incision as a mere scratch but it didn't stop Ruby from violently stabbing Zodd in the chest. Blood poured from the Apostles chest though he merely scoffed in annoying before slamming the Ruby into the ground with a quick blow to the head. Zodd proceeded to stomp onto her body before aiming his sword directly at Eyeball's gemstone. Despite this, Eyeball cocked her head towards the Apostle, looking him in the eyes with that same glare of hatred.
"G-go ahead.... go right ahead, kill me you twisted freak! I'M NOT AFRAID TO DIE!..." Eyeball grunted while Zodd pulled his sword back. With one thrust directly into Eyeball's gemstone, the impact of the sword decimated it. All that remained of Eyeball now were just shards while Aquamarine clung onto the tree, utterly mortified to what she had witnessed. Zodd turned his attention to the pixie-like gem, ripping his sword right out of the ground.
"You're next." Zood plainly said while approaching her, picking up speed after each step. Aquamarine, paralyzed with fear, had no other option but to watch as this... THING murders her in brutal fashion.
"ST-STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM ME, DISGUSTING BARBARIA-AUUUGH!!!" Aquamarine's cries were cut short when Zodd literally grabbed her by the head, proceeding to lift her small body in the air. The pixie-like gem kicked and screamed but it was all over when Zodd applied enough pressure to crush her head like an egg. Soon, shards of what was once Aquamarine sprinkled onto the ground while Zodd took a good look of the shards sprinkled onto the ground, feeling no remorse for his kill whatsoever.
"Hmmph, No blood. How disappointing..." The Apostle spat before leaving the scene. He had heard of these supposed "Gems" and figured that this inhuman race could possibly give him the fight he yearned for, but right now, he was immensely unimpressed. From what those two little bastards had to offer, why even bother if they can't even fight you without having to join forces in order to give you a good battle?
As the Apostle made his way down the trail, he noticed something from the corner of his eye. A wooden sign that was firmly planted in the dirt with big bold black letters that read out:
DO NOT PROCEED ANY FURTHER!
HOSTILE GEM UP AHEAD!
Zodd examined the sign and despite the warning that was clearly displayed, the Apostle continued forward without a second thought. Perhaps ths 'hostile' gem could be the challenge that he had been looking for...

Location: Further down the forest
Time: 3:49 PM

As the Apostle made it further down the trail, ignoring more warning signs, even smashing some into little bite-sized pieces. Zodd made it further and further down the greenery, being met with a patch of light on the end of the path. Upon reaching the point where the sunlight shone, Zodd was met with a large span of land that housed a gigantic cave with several boulders stacked up on each other
The Apostle's curiosity grew upon seeing this camp that was set in front of him. Zodd took a step further, but the moment the beast laid a toe on the dirt...
"HOLD IT."
The deep booming voice of a woman echoed through the area while Zodd stopped in his tracks. The Apostle looked up to see someone sitting on top of the mound of rocks, who concealed themselves beneath a cloak. Zodd only grunted before pointing his blade towards the hooded figure. "I already see you, show yourself to me now!" The Beastly Swordsman roared in a demanding tone of voice. The cloaked figure stood up and turned around, proceeding to rip off the hood to reveal their identity. Standing above Zodd was a large muscle bound woman with dressed in a orange-brown colored bodysuit with long white fluffy hair, orange skin with red markings, green and teal spots, and light green horns atop her head, and an orange gemstone that was in place of her nose. This bizarre looking lady jumped off of the small hill of rocks, now standing on equal ground with the Apostle. The woman that stood before Zodd was non other but the former Quartz General who had isolated herself out here in the woods, Jasper. And the Gem wasn't too pleased with Zodd intruding on her land...
"And just what do YOU want, Freak!?" Jasper growled at the Apostle, proceeding to cross her arms.
"I've heard about a supposed 'dangerous gem' resides here in these parts, and I assume that gem is you. Correct?" Zodd plainly asked while Jasper merely snorted at his question.
"And what if I am?..." Jasper responded, narrowing her eyes at the beastly man.
"If so, then I ask you... Please, give me a fight worth my time!" Zodd said, unsheathing both his axe and sword. Jasper cocked a brow at the Apostle's request as her lips crack into a small grin.
"Really now? An Earth-dwelling piece of garbage like you wants to battle me huh?..." The Quartz Soldier said with a chuckle.
"I'm no mere human, Gem. I've lived for hundreds of years, butchering down all who dare challenge me. It's all too pathetically easy I tell you! My whole life has been devoted to find a worthy opponent, and perhaps you could give me that fight I've long for." The Apostle said, taking a few steps closer while readying his axe and sword for battle.
"Is that it? A fight? Well who am I to deny it? I too want a good challenge, weaklings tell me that there's no one to fight anymore but I know that's not true! There's ALWAYS someone to fight and that time has come now..." Jasper said cracking her knuckles. Zodd grinned upon hearing Jasper's words, unlike that cowardly fusion he disposed of, this one is willing to battle him head on.
"I'm liking what I'm hearing... Before we battle, shall I hear your name?" Zodd questioned.
"Jasper, and you are?" The Former General responded, asking Zodd his name too.
"I go by many titles, but for my real name, it is Nosferatu Zodd… Jasper, you definitely have the spirit of a warrior and I hope you're worth my time..." Zodd said, readying himself for this gargantuan brawl.
"Well, Zodd, I can tell you this. I'm worth every god damn moment, so how about you just shut up and give it to me! LET'S GIVE OURSELVES THE FIGHT WE'VE DREAMED UP!" Jasper said while putting her dukes, a big smile forming on her face.
Zodd simply chuckled in response to the Quartz Soldier...
"Very well then..."
The two muscle bound brutes stood in combative poses, gazing into each other's eyes with malicious intent, ready to attack at any moment.
Soon, their eyes widened and their mouths formed into the most delightful of smiles...
And within a split second, the two warriors came charging towards each other...
IT'S A WARRIOR'S TEST!
LET THE CARNAGE BEGIN!
The moment that Zodd got up close with his new foe, he swung his sword down in attempt to cleave Jasper's face in only for the Gem to narrowly dodge right out of the blade's trajectory before slamming her fist right into The Apostle's cheek. The force of Jasper's punch was enough to knock the Apostle stumble back just a few feet before he retaliated by swinging his ax right into Jasper's abdomen. Unlike most of Zodd's opponents, they would've been easily torn in half, his axe merely formed a rip across The Quartz Soldier's body suit.
"Yeah, that's right!~" Jasper shouted, as her grin grew larger before she clasped her hands together. The gem proceeded to jump into the air, curling up into a ball and spinning in place. Jasper proceeded brought herself downward at high speeds with her fists raised over her head, slamming her two fists down in attempt to smash the Apostle's skull in. This forced Zodd to quickly block off the attack with his two weapons, as the impact of Jasper's fist nearly sent Zodd back as he struggled to keep the gem in place.
"COME ON ZODD, DON'T TELL ME YOU WE'RE JUST TALKING BIG!" The Quartz Soldier laughed, as Zodd pushed Japser back, forcing her back several feet.
"This is just the beginning, Jasper! I'M JUST GETTING READY TO CUT YOUR BODY INTO PIECES!"Zodd barked, making a mad dash towards her opponent while readying his ax. Jasper merely scoffed at the Apostle's response before summoning a brand new weapon, an orange hammer-like helmet with red horns protruding from the sides that was adorned on top of her head. Jasper proceeded to curl up into a ball, rolling towards Zodd at incredible speeds. Zodd swung his axe upon getting close enough to Jasper, striking her with enough force to stop in place while sparks flew as a result.
"HA! YOU THINK THAT LITTLE TRICK WILL WORK!?" The Apostle shouted as he reeled his foot back and with one mighty kick, he redirected the spinning ball into the mound of boulders in front of her hut. The moment Jasper came into contact large pile of rocks were reduced into small pebbles as Jasper's body laid on the ground.
"See, What did I just tell you? NOW PREPARE TO DIE!"The Beastly Swordsman growled, leaping forward as he brought both his sword and ax down onto Jasper's face. The Gem reacted quickly as she quickly caught Zodd by the wrist with his two blades dangerously close to her gemstone. With a burst of strength, Jasper pulled Zodd's arms apart from each other before launching him in the air with a boot to the stomach, an attack that caused The Apostle to drop his weapons. Before Zodd could try to react or do anything, The Quartz Soldier was able to get up just in time and with one quick motion, she struck The Apostle right smack in the face with a heavy left hook.
BAMMPH!
Zodd's big body rocketed backward, skidding across the dirt. The Apostle got himself back up, his nose now leaking blood. Jasper proceeded to perform another Spin Dash, homing towards the Apostle at highspeed. Realizing that he was without a weapon, Zodd made a mad dash towards Jasper as he proceeded to leap right over her. Despite his size, Zodd was able to perfectly jump right over the spinning ball, sticking the landing as well. Zodd then retrieved his weapons while Jasper redirected herself into Zodd's direction while the Apostle, who simply huffed in response as he awaited the Gem to get closer.
"Your tactic failed last time, WHAT FAVORS WILL IT DO FOR YOU NOW!?" Zodd barked at the top of his lungs. Upon reaching a close proximity, Zodd lifted his leg and proceeded to stop Jasper in place by stomping down on her. With her opponent stuck in place, Zodd's sadistic smile grew to a disturbingly wide length as he jabbed his sword downward only for Jasper to quickly grab onto his arm before slamming her helmet right into the Apostle's chest!
"GRAUUUGH!" The Apostle gagged, feeling as if a wrecking ball was dropped onto his chest. Jasper proceeded to deliver several heavy blows into Zodd's abdomen, before slipping grabbing a hold of his leg. The Quartz Soldier then lifted the Beastly Swordsman in the air before slamming him onto the ground.
"RUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA! HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT YOU BASTARD!?" Jasper hollered with sadistic laughter, as she repeated this process several times until Zodd broke free of her grip by kicking free, resulting in his body dropping to the dirty ground beneath him with an audible thud. The Apostle immediately threw himself into Jasper's direction, swinging his ax in a diagonal formation with one mighty swing as he shouted aloud for the whole entire forest to hear...
"DIE!"
SLASH!
"GRUUUUUUAGHHH!!!"
Jasper let out a growl of pain as the razor sharp blade of Zodd's ax scrapped across her torso before several more times before blocking off Zodd's next attack with her helmet. The two found themselves in a desperate struggle, like two Rhinos trying to overpower the other through sheer brute force.
"You think I'm gonna be overpowered by some earth-dwelling freak!? I DON'T THINK SO!" The Quartz Soldier boomed, pressing her head forward. Jasper was slowly but surly gaining the upper hand while Zodd, in an act of desperation, used his other free arm to stab Jasper in the gut with his sword. However, Jasper was able to snatch the blade just in time, with the sword's tip just a few centimeters away from piercing her abdomen. Jasper proceeded push back Zodd's other arm, forcing it back while preparing to deliver another bone-shattering headbutt.
"RRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUGGGGH!!!" Jasper gave out a spine-chilling war cry as she jabbed her helmet towards Zodd, who retaliated with a headbutt of his own. The two warrior's head came smashing into each other, with Jasper's breaking into pieces and Zodd's skull fracturing. The Apostle took a good step back and despite his injuries, he persisted on as he jabbed a knee directly into Jasper's chest before she a chance to react as her body fell onto the ground. The Apostle smirked as he leapt up in the air and brought his foot down onto Jasper's abdomen.
BAMPH!
Upon striking Jasper's belly, the Quartz Soldier gave out a heavy wheeze upon impact. The Beastly Swordsman proceeded to raise his ax in the air, swinging it down with full force with the blade aiming for her face. Jasper jerked her head right out of the way with a lock of hair hacked off instead.
"YES, THAT'S IT... KEEP ON SQUIRMING! IT MAKES THE KILL MUCH MORE ENJOYABLE THAN IT ALREADY IS!" The Apostle said with a laugh, continuing to attack the Quartz Soldier with an agressive barrage of ax swings to the head with his opponent forcibly moving out of harm's way. Jasper ultimately got Zodd off of her by quickly reforming her Crash Helmet and slamming it straight into The Apostle's chest with his ears being plagued by the sickening and uncomfortable sound of his ribs breaking, along side the the sharp pain of her horns inserting into his flesh.
CRUNNNNNCH!
A mighty wave of pain surged through the center of the Apostle's body as blood through his mouth and down his chin. No amount of swords, arrows, or spears stabbing right into his flesh could have prepared him for such a distressing experience. Zodd's stance grew lighter as soon as the Quartz Soldier struck his rib cage, Jasper threw Zodd off of her with another headbutt to the abdomen. Both Jasper and Zodd stood up on their feet in an instant, with the latter now completely fuming with anger for Jasper's little underhand tactic with veins visibly popping on his forehead. before making a mad dash to his opponent at speeds that shouldn't even be possible for a monster his size.
"I'LL MAKE SURE YOU SUFFER THE MOST AGONIZING AND PAINFUL DEATH EVER IMAGINABLE!" The Apostle continued as this in turned cued Jasper to charge back. Zodd pulled back his sword and swung it in a sideways formation, but much to his utter dismay, Jasper narrowly ducked underneath the blade as it barely grazed her chin.
"Nice try!" Jasper said before slamming her Crash Helmet directly into The Apostle's big schnoz. Sadly for the Quartz Soldier, her attack proved unsuccessful as Zodd quickly stopped her helmet from slamming into his face for a second time as he parried the bulk of her headbutt by bringing up his sword. However, while Zodd was fortunate enough to block Jasper's attack, he did notice small cracks forming on his blade. However, it didn't stomp from directly swinging his ax right into Jasper's side. The Quartz Soldier roared with pain as Zodd struck her with a mighty elbow to the cheek with enough force to knock her back. The Apostle proceeded zoom forward clashing both his sword and ax together in an attempt to crush Jasper's head.
"NOW DIE, JASPER!!!" The Apostle hollered as his two bladed-weapons clashed together with Jasper's helmet just barely able to stop the two blades from cutting into the sides of her head. Zodd forced his weapons further into Jasper's head but the Quartz Soldier quickly slammed her helmet right into Zodd's forehead. Unlike the many times she struck the Apostle, Zodd was able to swiftly duck down as Jasper tripped forward. Zodd saw this opportunity to attack by striking her directly in the stomach with his two feet. Jasper was sent careening forward across the battlefield, heading straight for her rock hut.
"DAMMIT, NO!" Jasper screamed before stopping herself against one of the large boulders that comprised her hut. It was a rough landing to say the least as a large spider-web of cracks was formed when Jasper came into impact, but she was able to stop herself from reducing her hut into tiny pieces of rubble. Jasper then re-positioned herself against the gigantic boulder, being met with Zodd barreling towards her with murderous intent, as she then spun in place before charging at Zodd at blinding speeds with a malicious smile plastered on her face.
"YOU'RE ALL MINE!!!" Jasper laughed while The Apostle furrowed his eyes, picking up more speed. The moment the distance between both warriors were closed, Zodd raised his two weapons over his head and downward with double the power against the tip of Jasper's helmet...
The product of the collision?...
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!!!
A mighty shock wave rang throughout the area the moment both fighter's weapons came into contact as specs of dirt and dust scattered all across the battlefield. Both Zodd and Jasper found themselves into another power struggle. However, Zodd's two weapons received heavy damage with cracks were visible on his blades.
"Looks like your little tools are giving up..." Jasper growled while Zodd applied more pressure to his attack.
"Just you wait, Jasper! I'm far more powerful without a blade..." Zodd hissed in an ominous tone of voice. After a good minute of trying to overpower her adversary grew tired and decided to deliver an uppercut from underneath the Beastly Swordsman' chin. The impact of the blow launched Zodd up into the air as Jasper lunged herself up to the Apostle level before performing another comet charge. Zodd was struck right in the face by Jasper's helmet as the two came careening deep into the forest.
"PREPARE TO BE BEATEN INTO THE GROUND, FREAK!" Jasper boomed at the top of her lungs as Zodd's body struck the Earth with enough force to generate a small tremor throughout the woods. Jasper proceeded to unleash a brutal beat down onto the Beastly Swordsman, pelting him with a unrelenting barrage of punches down onto his chest as she laughed like a maniac.
"AHAHAAHAHAHAHAAAA!!! YOU'RE AS GOOD AS DEAD NOW!" Jasper cackled befroe slamming her head down onto her beastly opponent. However, in a quick burst of speed, Zodd dropped his weapons before grabbing onto Jasper's neck with a tight grip. Jasper was stopped, clawing at Zodd's hand in attempt to free herself from the Apostle's clutches as he stood up. The Beastly Swordsman glared into his opponent's eyes with burning hatred with Jasper mirroring the exact same feelings, as the Apostle reeled his hand back before chucking Jasper like a softball. The Quartz Soldier's body was thrown with great force and velocity as she came hurtling right into a tree...
KKKKRRRRRRRRRAAAACCCCCKKKKKKK!!!
The moment Jasper's body struck said tree, it snapped like a twig and toppled over onto the ground. On the other side of the spectrum, Zodd proceeded to gather his weapons while Jasper took advantage of the environment around her by grabbing onto downed tree, proceeding to effortlessly lifting it right over her head. The Quartz Soldier swung her brand new weapon towards a charging Zodd like a baseball bat, forcing the Apostle to duck down with the tree merely grazing his spiky hair. Jasper furrowed her brow before slamming the tree down with an overhead swing, instead of bashing Zodd into the ground, the Apostle raised both his weapons upwards, stabbing into tree while keeping it lifted with a great display of strength.
"You seriously think that this little trick of yours was going to stop me to begin with!? THINK AGAIN..." The Beastly Swordsman remarked as he then made a mad dash to his The Quartz Soldier while dragging his blades across the tree. Jasper's eyes widened with surprise upon witnessing this incredible display of strength as she leaped right out of harm's way as Zodd successfully tore the tree in half. The Beastly Swordsman then pushed aside the two halves by flexing both of his arms.
"Try all you want, Gem! All your doing is preventing your inevitable demise!" Zodd shouted, slamming his ax down onto Jasper's shoulder with the blade making it's mark. Jasper growled with agony with the ax striking into her shoulder before Zodd unleashed another attack with his sword. This time however, Jasper caught the Apostle's sword by the blade with a firm grip of her hands before tightening it to a point where the sword's edge snapped right off with an audible CRACK.
"YOU'RE THE ONE WHO'S GOING TO DIE, FREAK!" Jasper retorted before grabbing Zodd by the wrist, proceeding to remove his ax out of her shoulder blade. She curled up into a ball and dashed right into Zodd's abdomen, running over the Apostle before he had a moment to block off the attack. Before the Apostle had a chance to even get up, Jasper started to blitz-attack him from almost every singular direction. No matter how The Beastly Swordsman tried to get up, he was constantly bombarded with Jasper literally steam-rolling him from every single angle. As he was attacked, he began to growl a few remarks to the Gem and her little tactic
"No-good, dirty, ROTTEN..." Zodd's temper grew ever-so shorter with every cheap blitz-attack to a point where he had just about enough of Jasper's quick-paced plows as he stood up and snatched Jasper before she could land another cheap blow as she was grabbed by the face, before finishing his sentence haunting roar...
"COOOOOOWAAAAAAAAAAAARD!!!"
Zodd proceeded to lift Jasper's body off of the ground before slamming it down into the dirt beneath him as he proceeded to drag her body across rough ground. Jasper gave out cries of discomfort and pain with her body being dragged across the solid ground before her body was thrown several feet in the air.
With a burst of surprising agility for a monster his size, Zodd leaped onto the branch of a near by tree as he proceeded to quickly scale up said tree. Upon reaching the top, Zodd pushed himself out of the branches, which snapped off from the force of his legs pushing off of them, as he came hurtling towards Jasper with his ax raised high up in the air as a murderous grin formed on his face. The Beastly Swordsman proceeded drove his ax in a downward motion, with the intent of finishing off his opponent. However, the Apostle should have thought twice as his opponent turned the tables on him by summoning her helmet just in the nick of time, blocking off the ax blade that was intended to split her face in half.
"DON'T THINK FOR A SINGLE MOMENT THAT YOU'RE ABLE TO WIN THIS FIGHT! YOU FILTHY, DISGUSTING, AND DOWNRIGHT PUTRID EARTH-DWELLING CREATURE!!!" Jasper shouted at the top of her lungs, as Zodd yanked his ax out of his opponent's helmet proceeding to swing his weapon down for a second time only for him to hit nothing but air. Jasper was able to slip right behind Zodd, grabbing The Beastly Apostle by the waist before pile-driving him straight down onto the hard ground beneath him.
BOOOMPH!
Zodd's head struck the ground with blood leaking from cracks that formed on his skull during the impact of his fall. Jasper didn't stop there however, she was merely getting warmed up as she stood up with a psychotic grin on her face while her opponent also got back up on his feet. Despite the pain through his head, he obviously wasn't going down without a fight as he prepared to swing his ax for umpteenth time as he staggered forward, in hopes of cleaving The Quartz Soldier's face in but like most of his attacks, Jasper easily evaded the attack before delivering a kick to Zodd's arm, as the sound of bones cracking filled the air along with a shriek of agony. Jasper's already sadistic grin grew ever-so bigger as a result while The Apostle dropped his weapon, now defenseless against The Gem as he struggled to bring himself up.
"Alright freak, you've made this quite a challenging fight but as of now, IT'S TIME TO END THIS!" Jasper boomed before she reeled her fist back, striking her fist forward while gathering speed and momentum along the way. Jasper's fist was jabbed directly into into The Apostle's torso as he gave out a loud gasp as he coughed out speckles of blood and phlegm. The Quartz Soldier applied more and more pressure to her attack before finally unleashing all her power with one more thrust...
BAAAAAAAAAAMMMM!!!
And just like that, Zodd disappeared within the blink of an eye as his body was sent careening into the air.
His screams echoed throughout the forest before going silent completely...
(Music Stops)
Jasper stared off into the distance, watching her opponent's lifeless body rag-doll into the far-out wilderness. The Former General laughed to herself, crossing her arms in victory. That bastard certainly put up one hell of a fight but as always she ultimately prevailed in her battle against that freakish earth-walking abomination.
"Damn shame that had to end so soon, it was actually starting to get interesting..." Jasper said to herself.
"Oh well, at least I FINALLY got a good fight out of it!" And with that being said, The Quartz Soldier turned her back to continue her daily training. But Jasper should've thought twice, for as soon as she made it just a couple of feet....
BOOOOOOOOMPH!
"FOOL! YOU DARE WALK AWAY FROM ME JUST WHEN THE TRUE FIGHT IS ABOUT TO BEGIN!?"
Jasper's head spun around much like an owl, only to see a gigantic paw slamming down on her. Acting fast, Jasper quickly caught the gigantic hand, struggling to keep it from caving her face in. However, a gigantic hoof slammed right into the Quartz General's gut, sending her flying across the forest with her body carving a path through the forest, with trees toppling over and boulders shattering into bite-size pieces. "W-WHAT WAS THAT!?" Jasper thought to herself, in shock of what she had just witnessed, as her body struck the dirt, Jasper struggled to get herself up as gigantic figure approaching her form the pathway she made when swatted across the woods. She knew for sure that it was Zodd, but the Apostle had decided to no longer hold back and show the true power he had been hiding. And let's just say, The Quartz Soldier was in utter shock of what she was seeing. "Look at me, Jasper." Zodd plainly said as a shiver ran up Jasper's spine, the Apostle's voice now even deeper than before. "Take a good long look at me..." The Apostle growled, standing just a few yards away from his opponent. Standing before the Quartz Gem was what could only be described as a monster, with what appeared to be a horrific amalgamation a Minotaur and a Panther complete with the wings of a dragon and the horn of a devil. "For today..." Zodd extended his arms out while wings spanned outwards, as the Apostle gave out a chilling roar to heavens... "YOU WILL FACE YOUR DEATH! A DEATH YOU CAN'T ESCAPE!" Jasper, not wanting to back down from the Apostle's threat, immediately attacking with a spin dash while Zodd merely stood in place, as he raised one of his grimy paws into the air. With one firm swipe, Jasper was snatched by Zodd's enormous claws mid-attack as his murderous red eyes glared into the Gem's soul. The Apostle proceeded to launch himself into the sky with Jasper still in his grasps, despite Quartz Soldier to her best to free herself from Zodd's clutches, The Apostle kept a firm grip on Jasper's neck. Now hovering above the whole forest, Zodd unhands Jasper which results in her plummeting down to the ground. Sadly for Jasper, that was only the beginning as Zodd clasped both of his hands together... "NOW DIE, JASPER!!!" Zodd boomed, bringing his two gigantic paws down together, sending Jasper careening right into the dirt bellow. As soon as the Gem's body crashed into ground, the whole forest shook completely as a large crater ripped across the forest grounds. Further damage was inflicted as Zodd came rocketing downward, viciously pummeling her defenseless opponent into the ground with unyielding ferocity. However, Zodd's fist somehow were stopped in mid-air as Jasper grabbed onto his wrists tightly to stop him from pummeling her into the ground any further. The Apostle snarled with scolding hot rage as he began to push his horrid paws down, pushing The Quartz Soldier's body into "THAT'S RIGHT, KEEP ON FIGHTING FOR YOUR LIFE JASPER! IT'LL MAKE THE FIGHT FAR MORE FUN BEFORE I CRUSH YOU INTO A THOUSAND PIECES!!!" Zodd bellowed at the top of his lungs, applying more pressure to a point where Jasper felt as though her whole body was sinking into the ground. The Quartz Soldier gritted her teeth before letting out a booming war cry as she jabbed a boot right into the stomach of the beast that was slowly crushing her. The kick did nothing but annoy the Apostle, as he slowly but surely began to put an end to this long fight. Throughout all of Jasper's years of combat and war, she was experiencing a feeling she would have never felt before. She was scared. Terrified. Fearful. Utterly mortified by this thing that looked down at her as if she was a helpless prey, struggling to escape the claws of a vicious predator. However, it didn't take long for Jasper's fears and terror to transform into that of burning rage. Did this beast really think he could topple the best of what the Great Diamond Authority could offer? Was this really going to be the way she bit the dust. Jasper's face went hard as she began to muster up all the strength within her body... "HRRRGGGGHHHHH...RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGH!!!" Letting out another ear-piercing shriek before pushing Zodd back with all her mighty, causing the beast to stumble back. Jasper proceeded to rocket straight upwards, delivering a hard blow right underneath the monster's chin with enough force to knock the beast backward, almost falling onto his backside while Jasper got right back up, more determined than ever to finish the monster off once and for all. "I'll admit, I admire your persistence..." Zodd growled under his breath while readying his claws for another attack. "BUT YOU'VE MADE IT FAR ENOUGH AS IT IS!" Zodd shouted at the top of his lungs before striking Jasper with one swift blow to the chest, but the Gem maintained her composure and summoned forth her helmet as she parried the bulk Zodd's attack. Without a moment of hesitation, Zodd began to violently attack Jasper with series of aggressive swipes and claws only for her to easily deflect each and every blow without one that launched her straight into her into her hut. The large cave collaped in on Jasper while Zodd stood in front of the mound of rocks, his fists clenched as he awaited Jasper to come out. This couldn't have been the end right? However, the answer was apparent The Apostle's ears picked up a rage-filled shout come from the mass of boulders... "YOU'RE NOT WINNING THIS FIGHT!"And just like that, Jasper came rocketing out of the mound of boulders with one of them lifted right over her head. The Quartz Soldier proceeded to thrust herself forward before driving one of the boulder straight down onto Zodd, who quickly brought up his fist to protect himself from the attack. Upon meeting contact with his wrist, the boulder easily shattered into a dozen pieces before Zodd threw Jasper back with a swipe of his claws. However, Jasper blocked off the razor sharp claws belonging to the monster with her helmet as the flesh-piercing tips of the claws broke off much to monster's disbelief. CRINKK! The Apostle snarled with a mixture of both pain and rage before Jasper struck down into the Apostle's chest, only for the beast to knock her back with an elbow to the abdomen as the Quartz Soldier was knocked back to the ground. Zodd made a mad dash towards his smaller adversary as she regained her footing. "LITTLE COCKY BASTARD... YOU DARE MAKE A DAMN FOOL OUT OF ME!?!" Zodd screamed at the top of his lungs, snatching one of the smaller rocks that came from the boulder mid-dash, as he lifted the hunk of rock over his head and slammed it down much like a hammer. Of course, Jasper easily repelled the attack with her helmet as it cracked into a dozen pieces much like an egg shell. Jasper proceeded to throw herself right into the monster's abdomen while striking her helmet directly into his stomach, an attack that proved successful as the hammer end of her helmet alongside the horns, that pierced the Apostle's skin with ease. Scowling with rage, Zodd grabbed Jasper and yanked the helmet's horns right of his now bleeding abdomen as he began throttle Jasper about as if she was a ragdoll. "YOU'RE NOTHING COMPARED TO ME!" The Apostle boomed as he attempted to crush Jasper's head in with one hand of his, but due to the gem's much greater speed, she was nimble enough to avoid having her head crushed in. Jasper began to run circles around the Apostle, with the monster trying to crush her only for her to quickly jab her helmet straight into the beast's eye.
"GRAUUUUUUUUGGGH!!!" Zodd gave out a low groan of pain as his body was knocked to the ground while Jasper jerked her head out of Zodd's bloodied eye. The Apostle tried to attack with another punch, only for Jasper to grab onto his wrists, almost breaking them in the process.
"If you really think that you can strike down a warrior as powerful as me..." Jasper growled before jerking Zodd's wrists to the opposite side...
SNAP!
"...THEN YOU'RE DEAD WRONG, YOU HEAR ME!"
Just like that, Zodd's wrists snapped like sticks which made the monster howl with immense pain. Jasper didn't stop right there as she grabbed the beast by the neck and proceeded to drag him across the arena before throwing the monster's body several feet across the woods. As Zodd's body skidded across the woods, he stopped himself by digging his claws into the ground. Upon making a complete stop, he jerked his head up with a clear expression of rage and confusion. Just how was this Quartz Soldier able to persist when he had her on the ropes!? Nothing about this didn't make any sense in the slightest! Jasper came zooming towards Zodd, performing a spin dash in the process.
"I'VE GROWN TIRED OF THIS PITIFUL STRUGGLE, YOU AGGRAVATING LITTLE PEST! YOU'VE GOTTEN ON MY DAMN NERVES FOR THE LAST TIME!!!" The enormous beast shouted upon picking himself up, slowly approaching the oncoming spinning gem.
"NOW DIE LIKE THE VERMIN YOU ARE!!!" Zodd continued to bellowed at the top of his lungs, as he ended up soaring towards his smaller fore at similar speeds. The Apostle lifted one of his hooves before stomping down on her, attempting to crush the spinning ball. However, Jasper quickly jerked herself out of harm's way while Zodd stomped onto the ground with enough force to get his hoof stuck in the dirt. This gave Jasper the perfect opportunity as she leaped up into air before slamming her knee directly into the beast's snout.
CRRRAKK!!!
Fortunately for the Quartz Soldier, the attack made it's mark resulting in Zodd's schnoz was caved right in. The monster's snout was further damaged when Jasper proceeded to slam her foot into the monster's face and ricochet right off of it. Zodd stumbled began as his face began to regenerate, but the pain was still immense with blood leaking from his face and mouth as he lunges up into the air, reeling back a fist in the process before he slammed his paw down for the umpteenth time.
"VERMIN! VERMIN! VERIIIIIIIIIIIIN!!!" Zodd screamed the barbarian that he was while Jasper landed directly onto the ground after having ricocheted herself off Zodd's face. The Quartz Soldier jerked her head up and prepared a punch of her very own to counter the Apostle's attack, as they both slammed into each other. Upon making contact, The Apostle and The Gem began to dash rapidly throughout the forest while carving a path in the woods at lightning-fast speeds while the land violently shook.
Boom!
BOOM!
BOOOOOM!
Soon, both Jasper and Zodd were in a standstill with the fury burning within them with their hands held tightly while their bodies were pushed together in a desperate struggle to overpower the other. Despite being dwarfed in size, Jasper was able to match the monster in sheer strength alone. However, Zodd grinned before snatching Jasper into a powerful embrace before sprouting his swings out. Before his opponent had a second to think, he took off into the skies with his foe in a tight embrace. Zodd began to dash through the forest, easily tearing through trees that stood in his way as a new path was carved throughout the woods. Jasper and Zodd struck tree after tree while the Apostle glared down at her with a sadistic grin forming onto his face.
"Still alive are you? WELL ALLOW ME TO FIX THAT FOR YOU!" Upon reaching the stratosphere, Zodd grabbed Jasper by the neck and raised her body high into the air, dropping down back into the forest rapid speeds as he proceeded to choke-slam the Gem directly into the ground, the impact resulting in a much more powerful quake that shook the trees and broke into the ground. However, Zodd wasn't done yet as he repeated the process once again, Jasper was able to jab her elbow directly into his chest which was enough to slightly weaken his grip around her body.
"GET...OFF...ME...EARTH TRASH!" Jasper said in between grunts, as the Qaurtz continued to wrestle free from The Apostle's grip. Jasper started exerting a good portion of her strength, breaking free from the Apostle's arms before slipping right behind Zodd and flipped him upside down in mid-air.
"YOUR TURN!" Jasper said with a cackle before pile-driving her oversized adversary into the exact same spot, the damage worsening with the crater growing larger as Jasper proceeded to lift the enormous Zodd into the air with both of her hands raising the monster over her head. The Qaurtz Soldier started spinning his body around before leaping out of the crater and comet charging right into Zodd's chest. Zodd felt his body thrust several through the woods with Jasper's helmet deep into his pecs, as the monster began to slam his fists down onto Jasper's back, trying to release himself. In attempt to free himself, Zodd struck The Quartz Soldier directly in the face with a mighty hoof with the right amount of force to loosen her grip. Soon, Zodd swung his fists once again but Jasper acted fast by swiftly jerking her body back in order to avoid Zodd's oncoming paw.
"DAMN BEAST, I WON'T STOP UNTIL YOU'RE A BLOODIED CORPSE!" Jasper growled before throwing a massive punch only to be blocked off by Zodd's larger fist. The two brutish warriors found themselves swiftly trading blows with each other while dashing through the forest as a swift demise befell deer and other forms of deciduous wildlife soon as they were immediately sliced into ribbons by the sheer speed that the two titans were moving at. Zodd and Jasper traded blows that generated shock-waves that blasted through trees and other critters, the two monsters almost having each other matched Zodd nailed Jasper in the abdomen with the right amount of speed and momentum, sending her bulky body crashing through the woods before landing right into a nearby lake, her body skipping right into the center before sinking into the large body of water.
SPLASH!
Upon witnessing his opponent's body plop into the lake, Zodd lets out a sinister chuckle before placing paws onto a tree. Digging his claws into the bark, it didn't take long for Zodd to rip the whole entire tree right from the ground. Zodd hoisted the tree over his head before soaring up into the air, hovering over the lake with the tree still wrapped in his clutches.
"NOW THEN, TO PUT AN END TO YOU PERMANENTLY!" And just like that, Zodd brought down the enormous tree as it came homing into the center of the lake. Beneath the waters, Jasper's eyes widened upon seeing the incoming tree approach her at the same velocity as a torpedo. Refusing to die in such an embarrassing way, Jasper spun in place as the water surrounding her was beginning to disperse. It didn't take long for Jasper to come shooting out of the lake while meeting the tree head on, literally to be percise, as her helmet easily cleaved right through the enormous conifer as if it were made out of paper. Zodd, now realizing that his plan had failed, only grew more angrier as he descended downward with murderous intent.
"I'LL KILL YOU! I'LL KILL YOU! DO YOU HEAR ME!? I'LL RIP YOU APART, GOD DAMMIT!!!" Zodd screamed once again, now losing all sense of rationality completely. He now wanted his opponent dead and he was going to make sure that she would suffer a painful demise by his paws. On the other side of the spectrum, Jasper's lips cracked into a wicked grin while Zodd lurched forward and attempted to crush his opponent's face in. However, The Apostle made a big mistake as Jasper jerked her body just a few inches back from his oncoming attack, which was just about enough to stay out of his reach.
It was then that Jasper's grin only grew bigger as she came hurtling towards Zodd's head...
"Now you're all mine..."
And right before the Apostle could react or even tell what was about to happen, Jasper's helmet came smashing right into his face at speeds that appeared invisible to the human eye. Zodd felt an excruciating pain strike him directly in the face as his hold entire vision was impaired by a bright orange while his world turned to total darkness as a result. The moment Jasper's hammerhead of a helmet conected into his face, he was struck with such tremendous force...
RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIPPPPPPP!!!!!
as Jasper speed right past his now-decapitated body of the Apostle, as it feel several feet bellow her. However, The Quartz Soldier didn't stop there, as she redirected herself into the trajectory of Zodd's falling corpse before spinning place and performing yet another comet charge, hurtling straight towards the Apostle's corpse. It didn't take long for another horrific sound tearing flesh to ring throughout the land...
RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIPPP!!!!!
Upon reaching the headless body, Jasper tore right through his body as it split into two bloody halves. Jasper proceeded to crash directly into the river along with the two halves of the Apostle's body with an audible splash while Zodd's head flew almost a dozen feet into the forest, never to be seen again. Soon, Jasper swam to the surface of the lake before letting out a gasp for air. After taking in several deep breaths of fresh air, The gem floated back onto shore with her helmet now covered in blood and entrails while her body was soaking wet.
Jasper stood up and gave booming scream of victory to the heavens.
After the long and hellacious battle, it was all over.
(Music Stops)
Upon ending her victorious cry, Jasper knew full well that nobody on this waste of space of a planet would ever match her sheer might alone.
The Quartz Soldier proceeded to leave the lake behind, ready to build herself a new base. Unbeknownst to her however, someone was watching her deep within the woods from a safe distance.
"How interesting..."
A low and cold voice chimed from the unseen viewer, exiting the shadows and stepping into further view. The hidden watcher appeared to be a skeleton-like creature decked in white armor who was perched atop a horse that bore similar armor platting to his rider.
"This woman's power is quite formidable. Perhaps I could pay her visit one day..."

Jasper is currently working on making a new base for herself to live in, tossing around large hunks of rock while the two halves Zodd's headless body sinks to the bottom of the lake. Meanwhile, Onion stumbles upon Zodd's decapitated and proceeds to rip off his one horn, swinging it around like a sword before walking off with it, tucking the horn into his new cheeseburger backpack.
--
UL: Ooooh yeah! We got to see some sheer brutality and my waifu won. That's the double the win here!
Mettaton: Figuring out a winner for this fight was way more difficult that we have anticipated but we ultimately came to the conclusion that Jasper was the definite winner and this isn't Nathaniel's libido speaking.
UL: HEY!
Mettaton: Now the reason as to why Jasper won was through several reasons. For starters, in terms of physicality Jasper had Zodd easily beat. While Zodd is capable of battling against tough-as-nails warriors such as Guts, being able to stomp and effortlessly lift his building-size brother Wyald, and even carving through a mountainside as well. However, Jasper had feats that were almost on par, if not superior, to Zodd such as being able to duke it out with Garnet, who was able to cause a gigantic mountainside to crumble into bits after striking a corrupted gem. A feat that's fairly above Zodd's best feats of strength.
UL: Durability and Speed also went to Jasper as well. Reason as to why is that both Zodd and Jasper are quite tough cookies as they can survive attacks from the strongest of foes and keep on trucking. Jasper can withstand attacks from Garnet while Zodd can endure blows from the likes of Guts Skull Knight, but as we stated before, Jasper being able to survive attacks that can cause avalanches are quite a few steps ahead of what Zodd can endure. Of course, Zodd still has healing factor and it can definitely help him keep on going but the Apostle can only endure so much and it's quite possible that Jasper can overtax Zodd's healing to a point where he'll be unable to regenerate at all.
Mettaton: Speed-wise, it seemed even at first. Jasper and Zodd should scale to their competitors, Garnet and Guts, both of which are able to perfectly deflect lightning point-blank. Problem is, Guts was more rather anticipating the attack as he was already positioned to protect himself from the attack while Garnet was able to perfectly deflect it without having to do much. True, Garnet may have used her future prediction to see the lightning, she still was able to still deflect it compared to how Guts approached the attack. Plus, doesn't help that Jasper can also scale to other gems such as Steven and Pearl, both of which are able to dodge lasers.
UL: The stat trinity wasn't the only assured victory for Jasper, as there were other factors that played into Jasper's victory. To start things off, let's being with experience and combat skills. Now, Zodd is anything but a stranger to fighting, I mean the dude has been fighting for his whole entire life and so has Jasper too but the difference here is that Zodd has been fighting and kill for three centuries. Now you'd that that doesn't sound like he's at any disadvantage until you realize that Jasper has been doing the same exact thing for a thousand or more-so years compared to the Apostle.
Mettaton: Up next is Combat Skills, while Zodd may have good combat skills in his own right, Jasper easily held the advantage in terms of hand to hand combat given her impressive skills she displayed, being able to once again match Garnet in strength alone. Meanwhile, Zodd is an impressive swords man as he's able to battle against the likes of Guts and Skull Knight, however, his swordsmanship wouldn't last that very long and you'll see why.
UL: Weaponry was also not much of a contest as well too. Zodd may have more practical tools, what with his sword and ax that are able to shatter stone and even compete against The Black Swordsman's Dragon Slayer but there was a problem with it. Zodd's sword and ax can withstand so much damage before breaking and knowing how powerful and tough Jasper is, it's likely that it wouldn't be long before Zodd ran out of weapons and was forced to partake in close-quarters combat, something that Jasper easily excels at. If that wasn't enough, Jasper's Crash Helmet was not only more effective in terms of damage output but it also was strong enough to withstand way more damage than Zodd's blades. As for intelligence, Zodd and Jasper are both barbaric brutes who do their best to tear down their opponent but Zodd only had the advantage due to being less arrogant but that's about it.
Mettaton: But there was one more thing to consider and that would Zodd's Apostle form. Given how dangerous he is in his true form, would that have been a total game-changer for The Apostle? Well... Not exactly. True, Zodd has the advantage in size and flight allowed him to stay out of Jasper's range but other than that, Zodd didn't have much going for him even in his Apostle form. Jasper still had the overwhelming advantage in stats and skill, plus battling giant monsters aren't something Jasper is a stranger too. With everything said and done, Jasper simply had superior stats, skill, a way better weapon, and a millenniums worth of experience that far excels Zodd's.
UL: Looks like Jasper was simply one step a-HEAD of her opponent!
Mettaton: The victor of this match-up is, JASPER!
