Okay so been looking through the gem AU's on this and noticed there's a few anime ones but, not a lot..so I figured might as well write one down cause why not. Will also be the first one in gem AU's.
Elizabeth is a half breed star sapphire who's been living on earth for many years now. Her mother died having her and her father wanted nothing to do with her. So she got adopted and has two humans sisters. Yet, she has been locked up in her house out of fear that someone will take and experiment on her. Thus why they live far out of a town and have a forest around their home, so no one can get to them easily. Yet, she sneaks out with two of her sisters on her 17th birthday.
While exploring they find a destroyed gem temple. Margert is a little on edge during the whole thing while her two other sisters are just running around looking at every bit of the temple just wondering what happened. Then they find a huge pink bubble with a green gem in it. Even though Margert tries to convince her sisters to leave, Elizabeth pops the bubble, releasing a gem.
That gem would be Meliodas who is green Quartz (secretly green dimaond), who is rather calm for someone who has been kicked away in a bubble for thousands of years. His gem stone is in the same place is tatto is in the anime and manga He buddies up to Elizabeth and Veronica quickly. Enough that they want to take him home so that he has a place to stay.
So he now lives on Margert's closet mainly because she doesn't trust him around her sisters and yet he has no where else to go. The three girls get closer to Meliodas over time, Elizabeth liking him as a crush, Veronica as a weird friend and Margert still is on edge about having an alien live in her house that is not her sister.
One day when their dad is out of town Elizabeth and Veronica sneak Meliodas out of the house so he can experience the new human world for himself. Just so he knows what earth is like.
They stop at a yard sale where Meliodas just kinda freezes in his spot looking at a necklace with a bright orange gem on it. He randomly just starts begging for them to buy it saying that he'll do anything. It makes them a bit curious as to why their friend is begging for a necklace even though he's male but, they figure he must like how it looks or it has something to do with what everyone back home did. So they buy it for him without really questioning it.
Once they get home Margert is waiting, ready to scream at them when she finds out about the necklace. She starts questioning them about it and demands to know why they would buy something without thinking. For all they know it could be a weapon from his home planet or something.
While they argue the neklcace falls to the ground, gem popping out of it. Everyone falls silent before Meliodas grabs the gem stone and rushes outside to their back yard. The girls follow thinking they've done something to upset him. Yet, as soon as they get to the middle of the forest they see why he dropped the gemstone, there's a giant gem reforming.
Soon infront of them stands Diane, the tallest orange jade on homeworld (gem in the same place as the manga as well) She shape shifts to make herself smaller as she introduces herself. Elizabeth instantly befriends her. So guess who else moves into Margert's closet for safety. As time progresses they learn more about homewolrd and what left the gems here while in turn the two gems learn about human culture. The gems fleed their destruction at the hand of a rogue gem who has started a bloody rebellion back home. Meliodas and his friends took a stand against the rebellion leader but, next thing he knew he woke up from being trapped in a bubble for many years. As for Diane, she remembers is battling someone with a friend, then she just woke up from being trapped in a necklace.
So neither of them know what happened, just that they all got separated. So Elizabeth make sthem a promise, that she will help them find the rest of their friends. Veronica offers to do the same. Margert meanwhile just wants a drink.
~~~~~~~~~~~
While all this has been going on Margert has been working at a bakery in town with a boy she goes to collage with named Gil-Thunder (Gil for short). They have been awkward friends for years but, both are to scared to admit their feelings for one another. Yet, they are still for one another no matter what.
While trying to find more gems, Margret turns up back home from work with the stomach flu. While her two sisters are out doing something and her father is at work, Meliodas and Diane start to take care of her the best they can. This leads to Margret trusting gems a bit more... that is until Gil calls to see if she's okay which no one planned for. Needless to say it's nerve wracking. Especially since Margret is to busy being sick in the bathroom to answer and Meliodas doesn't know what to say. He answers thinking it was Elizabeth and panics hearing a male voice. So he just freezes up and Diane has to answer the phone. She panics a bit and tells Gil that Margret is dying from the plague befroe hanging up in a big nervous mess.
Needless to say Margret is mortified and calls her boss soon after telling them the truth. Yet, she can't get a hold of Gil. The gems assure her it's nothing to worry about and Diane takes her back to bed. After Margert has slept for an hour however she hears someone knocking on the door. She tells Meliodas to go answer it, assuming it's her sisters.
Instead it's Gilthunder, who starts screaming swing a green male with seemingly glowing eyes standing in the door way of his crush's house while a taller female one is cleaning up a mess. The gems in turn start screaming because they have no idea who this is and are scared this is a government official here to experiment on them like in ET (which veronica made them watch). Margert runs out into the hall hearing all the screaming and soon finds her self sitting Gil down and explaining everything. And by everything I mean everything. Including her sister possibly being the same species of alien as the gems. Gil is freaked out but, none the less agrees to help the gems just so Margert can get a break. So another person is add to the gem squad as Veronica calls it. And the search gets more funds backing it up.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The search however is put on hold during the town's Halloween celebration. Afterall it's the one time Meliodas and Diane can go out without getting weird looks or questions about why they're displaying. Plus they get to wear costumes which Diane finds super fun. Diane goes a cute pumpkin dress she found and even gets to try on makeup. Veronica goes as an alien for fun. Elizabeth goes as a princes while Meliodas goes as her knight. Menawhile Margert dresses up in all red pretending to be a vampire just to stand out. She soon gets a text from Gil during the celebration to come meet him up.
The whole group meets up at this old abandoned house where Gil is, also dressed up as a vampire. He tries to explain why they're all there when a glowing light can be seen from the top window and a blurry figure. Gil cuts the story down explaining that he believes is a gem in there. And then Meliodas practically drags everyone into the house.
Once in they hear echoing screams. As well as other creepy noises. There's lose floor boards and the lights flicker. Veronica loves it all since she's always wanted to be the hero in a horror movie like this. Meanwhile her sisters hate it since they get really scared during a lot of horror movies. Diane is fine, until she sees a bug. Same with Gil who screams like a little when he sees something move, which ended up to be a spider.
They're all ready to leave when they see a gem stone shinning in a light. Without thinking much Meliodas calls out one of his friend's names getting closer to it, only to get attacked by a corrupt gem. The gem looks like it's limos have all been stretched out and has the body of a ckeleton with no eyes and mouth down shut. As the humans run, Meliodas summons a sword. Diane leads the others out befroe returning to her friend with a hammer.
The humans are left sitting outside looking terrified. Soon the two gems walk out, corrupt gem stuck in a bubble. Once Margert finds her voice and asks what that was, Diane just breaks down in tears crying while Meliodas has to explain that somehow it's a gem that's form has been shifted into something monstrous. A form that is so painful that it made the gem lose it's mind and become a wild animal which is most likely what happened to the rest of their friends.
The night ends with the bubble locked in Elizabeth's basement and everyone eating comfort food as they watch a child friendly movie upstairs in their living room. All while Meliodas wonders if this is truely the fate of all of his friends.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
A few days later to try and cheer them up, Veronica takes the gems out for some ice cream. Elizabeth demands to come as well which no one complains about. While hanging out and trying to cheer up the two gems, the girls are doing all they can. Yet, as you can guess they can't cover up the fact that their friends might have been turned into insane creatures that are in constant pain that by for death by attacking whatever they can.
The whole day is a bust. Nothing works at all. So Veronica pulls out the big guns. She drives all the way up to a waterfall they have that empties into a tiny broke everyone goes swimming in, just so the gems can be amazed by scenerary or go have fun swimming for once. Yet both Meliodas and Diane refuse to go swimming. That is until Elizabeth pushes Meliodas in. He freezes before laughing and dragging Elizabeth in by the wrist. Veronica and Diane gladly join in afterwards.
They spend two hours swimming and laughing, just all around having fun. Then Meliodas decides he's gonna jump off the water fall. He starts trying to climb it while everyone says to be careful and not jump. Yet, Diane seems oddly calming talking about he'll learn his lesson when he poofs. As she tries to explain it to the two girls, she hears a yelp. And next thing anyone knows Meliodas falls back onto the water holding something in his hand. Elizabeth screams assuming he's hurt and dunks under, grabbing him and dragging him to land. She starts doing CPR. He soon pushes her off and started to cough up water. Yet, soon he holds up a red stone in a ring. Diane freezes as Meliodas breaks out in a smile and just says, "guess who found Ban."
The rest of the night it storms while Meliodas sits close to Ban's gem whic Gil came over and took out of the ring for him. He just sits there hoping to god he's right and his best friend ever isn't dead while gem is resting on a red pillow, blanket over it, Meliodas sitting on one side of the couch waiting for his friend to reform while Diane sits on the other side so nervous that she's chewing her hair. Elizabeth keeps being over snacks and other things but, she's turned down each time. Veronica keeps trying to keep the gems calm which also fails. So the night is just everyone sitting around this gem on the couch, watching films on Netflix. No one dares say a word as it turns to five hours of waiting for Ban to reform when Meliodas sighs trying to find the words to say he was wrong and it's not his best friend when the gem starts to glow. Diane squeals in excitement as a red morganite reforms on the couch. He slowly looks around before seeing his friend and casually asking how long he was out. Instead of getting an answer, Ban just gets held in a tight hug by both gems and soon the humans join in to.
He just lets the hug happen, enjoying it a bit which he would never admit before he acts like his normal grumpy stuff which makes the two other gems laugh. Then he's setttled into a guest room downstairs which he will now be sharing with his friends, something Margret is thankful for, yet, the second the gems are alone they start talking about the dmiaonds and just wondering if they're coming for them for disobeying orders of coming home if they lived. It has them tiredfied enough to stop talking for a long time, while their minds scramble wondering if their friends were shattered of corrupted...yet, only time would tell at this point.
