Arrival
“Ugh my head…” A teen said as he got up and looked around in the dense forest. This was Marcus. And he is now a half human and half gem hybrid. He then noticed white eyes peering at him in close proximity to his hair. He backed up before the thing showed itself.
“What are you?! Stay back!” The things eyes stopped glowing an what appeared to be a lion. This lion had round ears, pink fur, black eyes, a soft light pink star-shaped mane, and a dark brownish-magenta heart-shaped nose. It yawned and just licked its paw. He pets the lion, out of fear or instinct he did so. The pink lion recuperates with lifting Marcus’ shirt, revealing a pink gem in place of his belly button.
“Wha?! What is this?” he pulled it as it hurt to pull it off, but a jolt of pain made him stop “And why won’t it come off?!” It hit him “Do I have… The pink diamond gem?” Lion then lifted Marcus up onto its back with it’s head. Lion then roared, causing a warp to appear. Lion jumps into the warp, shocking Marcus… and also a lot of ponyville folk as the lion warped there. Then, a yellow pegasus came up to the pair. That was Fluttershy.
“We are not gonna hurt you two, ok?” She said as the lion just yawned and Marcus got off and petted his companion/pet.
“Hello. I didn’t know you guys could speak. I’m Marcus, a gem and human hybrid. This here is my companion and pet Lion.” she was surprised when he talked. Marcus then looked at the lion.
“Lion do you have Rose’s sword? Blink once if you do.” Lion blinked as Marcus touched his mane. It glowed as he reached into the mane. He pulled out the sword as most ponies gasped and whispered. The sword had a slightly dark pink with a hint of red pommel resembling a rosebud with rose quartz embedded in it. The guard and knuckle bow of the sword were pink with the guard having an image of a four-petaled white flower in the middle. The grip was a dark pink, and the grip, guard, and knuckle bow were inscribed with a twirling thorn design. The sword's cupped hilt and broad blade with its tantō tip were reminiscent of a 17th-century military cutlass. This bright pink blade emitted a white aura when it was pulled from Lion's head. At the base of the blade, the rain guard was shaped like a pink rose with the two outer petals being dark pink. It was still in its sheath as Marcus strapped it onto his back. A velvet mare ran to Marcus and Lion.
“WOW! What type of magic is that?! And what is with that sword?” He shrugged as he petted the lion. This was Twilight.
“Well it used to belong to someone, but she… is gone.” His face dropped a bit and she looked concerned. He then asked where he was as she told him he was in equestria. He then sighed as many other ponies gathered around. Turned out, those ponies were the elements of harmony. He then was thrown a party. Why? Why not! And off the bat, Twilight could tell Marcus wasn’t just a normal human… well used to.
“I am normal! I swear!” He said as he got a look from two mares. They were Applejack And Rainbow Dash.
“Oh really? We can tell that your lying. What are you truly?” Rainbow dash asked as he sighed in defeat.
“I’m a hybrid. A Human and a Gem.” Everyone was confused. A gem?
“Darling, do you mean that in a literal sense?” Rarity asked. He nods to confirm.
“Yup. Gems are an extraterrestrial species of "magical", roughly humanoid beings. 5,750 years ago, the Gem Homeworld maintained several outposts on Earth, with plans to completely colonize the planet, but were driven off by Rose Quartz's rebellion, leaving the Crystal Gems (and various Corrupted Gems) as the only remaining Gems on the planet. Earth is where humans live.” He lifts up his shirt, revealing his gem “Believe me now? This isn't some sort of accessory, but my gem. I’m not sure if… hold up.” He closed his eyes. He then stuck out his tongue and it glowed a pink hue. It started to stretch unnaturally. And he wiggled it around, not knowing it was in front of Rarity’s face. She like the forever drama queen, fainted. It then shrunk back to normal size.
“HOLY CRAP! HOW ARE YOU ABLE TO DO THAT?!” He looked smugly as Fluttershy was distracted by giving Lion a belly rub.
“I’m half alien.” Rainbow gave him a middle finger. He laughed until he noticed its sundown.
“Uhh that reminds me: Me and lion need a place to stay.”
“You can stay here!” Twilight exclaimed.
“Ok, but no experimenting.” she nods.
Over the past few days Marcus had been in equestria, it's been more peaceful than his existence on earth. Albeit uneventful, it did have its perks of staying in a castle. He met Spike which in his words: is the miniature version of steven. All but without the gemstone for a belly button… cause he doesnt have one. Today was the day where Marcus was going to meet Twilight’s big brother and his daughter. He was just in Lion’s pocket dimension (how? He learned how to bubble his head so he could breath) when he heard Twilight's voice.
“They’re here!” She shouted as he hopped out of Lion's mane, startling the pink fluff. He hopped onto Lion, as he pointed forward, Lion roared, opening a warp. Twilight was shocked when he came in with Lion.
“Sup.” He said casually.
“So you're that human Twilight told me about.” he looked up to see a unicorn “Hi kid, the name is Shining Armor. Yours?” He extends his hand.
“My name is Marcus... uhhh…” His last name was kinda boring so he came up with “Quartz. Marcus Quartz.” He chuckles. As Lion just yawns, then flops onto the floor.
“That must be your pet. What's his name?” He just shrugged.
“Neve came up with one, so I just call him Lion. That reminds me.” He walked over to Lion and went into his mane, shocking Shining Armor.
“Wha? How?!”
He didn’t have his sword, and he wanted to show it off. He came back out with Rose’s sword. Shining observed it.
“This is one fine sword. Who made it?” Shining asked as Marcus rubbed his chin.
“That would be Bismuth. Bismuth forged the sword for Rose Quartz to wield in battle. Bismuth described it as her "finest piece of work", able to easily destroy the physical form of a Gem, but unable to shatter the gemstone itself.”
“Who’s Rose?” Marcus smiled awkwardly.
“She’s… kinda like my mom in someway…”
