The ship had just left Homeworld. Coordinates have been set andthe Mission has been logged.
"Pearl, how long will it take to reach Earth?"
"At our current state, it should take about 4 earth months to head there..."
"I never thought I would have to travel to this trash heap of a planet. I have better things to do outside of Blue. Yellow, and White's problems. I almost feel sorry that Blue constantly comes here to mourn for what happened to their dearest sister Pink..."
3 Quartz gems then walked in. An Agate, A Jasper, and a regular Quartz gem. A sapphire of some sort was there as well, on the other side."Well, My Diamond, I would honestly be surprised if White were to start caring. You know how 'fashionably late' she tends to get when Blue and Yellow are mourning together." The Agate nudged the other 2 quartz's and laughed. The Sapphire just stayed silent. The Diamond outside of the usual authority had let out a chuckle as well.
"That is a plausible thought, I'm curious as to why she didn't attend that Rose Quartz's trial," she crossed her legs. "Like before when Yellow apparently had to make her and Blue's pearl sing," The Agate said before throwing another laughing fit with the other two. "Star, tell me everything that's going to happen once we land on Earth." The Diamond asked.
Star Sapphire walked up to her. This almost unknown Diamond carried her with her palm and let her whisper. The unidentified Diamond just smirked. "Pearl, who are the two gems that are listed for trial and exile again?"
Tourmaline was sitting at the top of a department store building, waiting for Onyx to come back with the picnic stuff. Their definition of a picnic is a family size bag of Takis, a pack of Pitt Cola,(I miss Gravity Falls) and managing to snag a wireless TV, Nintendo Switch, and a copy of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
She tapped her fingers against the ledge of the roof where she was sitting. She looked back and peered at the vending machine right next to the stairway. Tourmaline got up and went over to it, pulling out 87 cents she found on the sidewalk earlier. The mint green gem peered over at the drinks and what she could afford. 'Onyx sure is taking a while, guess it's not too bad to get another drink...' she thought.
After 5 minutes of looking, all she could afford was a bottle of Disani. By the time she got her water, Onyx was back with the stuff, shapeshifted, so she was made bigger. "I got the stuff!" she said as she carefully laid their items down and shifted back to normal.
"I was getting worried you wouldn't come back!" The mint green gem said as she hugged her girlfriend. Onyx giggled. "I was only gone for like a couple minutes, and I actually paid for that Switch!"
"Really?"
"No!" The two laughed. "Okay, let's get this thing set up so we can start playing!" Tourmaline said as she walked over to the TV and turned it on. She popped open the CD of the game and easily slid it in their new console. Onyx opened their bag of spicy tortilla chips and cracked open their soda cans. They were in for a really long night with their new game. "I call Daisy!" Onyx said as she selected her. Tourmaline sipped on her soda, eating the pit that was left in the can. She then selected over onto Luigi. "He's better than Mario anyways..." The two spent a good 6 hours of gameplay on the roof of the department store. "Okay...I'm done here..." Onyx muttered as she rubbed her eyes. Her girlfriend nodded. She turned off the TV and the console. Onyx got up and stretched.
"Should we take the stuff home?" she asked. Tourmaline got up as well. "Yeah, sure..." Onyx shapeshifted and took their things in her shapeshifted wings. The mint green gem hopped onto her back and got a move on. "It's a lot colder at night..." she muttered as she rubbed her sleeves. "Yeah, I wonder how though...it was always cold back on Homeworld." Onyx replied.
"I mean at least we live in a treehouse now, I felt like if we just stayed with the Crystal Gems would just be kind of a hindrance on their missions, considering we're not even that skilled at fighting and such," she said. The sleek black gem looked down and saw their large treehouse. As soon as the two gems moved out of Steven's room, they immediately thought of fixing themselves a treehouse or rather, have Peridot and Lapis snag their materials to build it and have them to 50 percent of the job. "We're home!"
Onyx landed safely on the roof with Tourmaline and their bearings. They opened up the trap door and got back inside. The black gem set their stolen Switch along with their other stolen consoles under the TV. "Hey Onyx?" Tourmaline turned the lights on as she looked over at her girlfriend. Onyx looked over behind her. "Yeah? What is it?"
"What do you think is going on back on Homeworld? Since we left, I've been having a pretty bad feeling that something could end up happening to us..." The mint green gem responded. Her girlfriend stood up.
"Well, it's not like they have tracking devices on us or anything, and it's been a year since we've landed on Earth, it wouldn't have taken Homeworld this long to come find us!" she reassured. "And besides, I promised I wouldn't let anything happen to you and I meant it."
Tourmaline giggled. "Yeah...I'll always remember that," She tucked some bangs behind her ear and yawned. "Alright, I'm going to bed." she said as she went over to her room. Onyx nodded and stretched. "Yeah, me too." she said before refilling her water bottle and heading off to bed.
We now see this unknown Diamond resting in a pool of bubbled gems and stars, practically looking like she was bathing. Her Quartz walked up to her with her hands folded respectfully. "My Diamond," she greeted. The Diamond nodded."Is there something to inform, Sunrise?"
"I'm afraid not, My Diamond, it's rather just a question I have in mind," Sunrise Quartz said. Her Diamond raised her hand and waved it. "Ask away," she replied simply. The yellow and red gem exhaled nervously and nodded. She kept her hands at her sighed and balled them up into fists.
"My Diamond, As we are part of a more unknown side of Homeworld, and could possibly stay there forever, this question has been bothering me,"She started.
"What will bringing two gems from the most highest Diamond's court and have them be set on trial, and possibly be sent to the off colors' prison or shattered fulfill? I mean, this will only be known on our side of Homeworld unless we can manage to inform any of the Authority Diamonds," Sunrise Quartz breathed out.
Her Diamond raised her eyebrow. "I haven't told you? I have been able to let Yellow and Blue Diamond know that these two gems are from their sister's court. In fact, White Diamond had made me do this job." She then got up and started walking.
"Sunrise, whom are we trying to capture again?" she asked. Sunrise Quartz followed her. "Th-They are a Watermelon Tourmaline and an Onyx guard, My Diamond." The Diamond nodded. "Yes, I'll have you know that this Tourmaline specifically is rather important, you see, she was White Diamond's advisor, her right hand," she scoffed.
"If she had decided to not flee from Homeworld, she could have been a perfect temporary ambassador to White Diamonds' Division, such a shame, really." she cascaded through the long hallways of the ship. Sunrise Quartz had followed her through the whole way, her fellow Quartz's soon finding her and following her as well.
"What's going on?" The pink and white Jasper asked. Their Diamond then turned around and saw all three of them.
"Ah, Exotica and Polka Dot Agate, have you two rested well?" she asked. The two quartz soldiers nodded. "Yes, My Diamond!" Polka Dot Agate replied happily. Their Diamond then turned back and faced forward and started walking again. "I have another question for you, Sunrise, who am I?" she asked directly. The yellow and red gem gulped nervously.
"H-Heart..." She answered sheepishly.
"Answer fully,"
"Heart Of Eternity Diamond, is who you are." Sunrise Quartz answered. The dark blue Diamond nodded. "Heart of Eternity I shall be..." She cascaded through the halls. She then turned to face her three quartz soldiers. "Now listen up, you three are my best quartz soldiers, I also have brought along my best sapphire to be able to accompany us on our journey," she said.
"Our job is to capture those traitors and make them pay for their deeds afterwards, do you all understand?"
The three quartz soldiers immediately nodded and shifted their arms to make the diamond insignia."Yes, My Diamond." they said in unison.
"Very well, I ask that you three do not fail this for everyone in our guild. If you somehow do" she snickered. "Well, you won't be the only ones experiencing what kind of punishments are in store in Heart Of Eternity's Guild." The dark blue Diamond said, walking back to her chair.
The three nodded, walking back to their respective room in the spacious ship. They all breathed out anxiously. "OKAY, I AM NOT ABOUT TO GET SHATTERED, NO WAY, NO HOW," Polka Dot Agate exhaustively let out. "I will not be put inside that abandoned kindergarten with those off colors, I mean yeesh, we're the only ones who actually know about them, I could easily blurt out that they're off colors but then that would lead to me getting shattered!"
"Okay calm down, Polka Dot," Exotica Jasper held her shoulder. "We're the best quartz soldiers in our guild, we'll be just fine!" she tried reassuring her friend. "Anyways, we should probably get back to our cubbies, this trip's gonna be 4 months long, we need to get as much rest as we can for now." the pale pink quartz said. The two other gem nodded, eventually leaving off to their room.
…
Tourmaline tossed and turned in her new bed, quietly groaning as she tried to sleep. Sleep was still a bit of a new thing to these gems, as they have only been on earth for about a year now and struggling to learn the way humans live, despite knowing they don't always have to live a domestic human life. There was then a sudden knock on her door. The mint green gem hazily got up. "Yes?" she rubbed her eye and opened the door.
"You can't sleep either?" a tired Onyx asked, holding a blanket.
"Nah, wanna sleep together again?" Tourmaline asked. Her girlfriend nodded. They both headed off back to bed and laid comfortably together. Onyx crossed her arms as her head laid in her hands. "Sooooo...wanna talk until we fall asleep?" The mint green gem asked. Onyx looked over. She silently nodded and smiled back.
"I still have some questions on my mind about Homeworld..." The sleek black gem muttered. Tourmaline tossed over and faced Onyx. "Yeah, ask away," she responded.
"Didn't White Diamond offer you a pearl before?" Onyx asked. Tourmaline nodded. "Yeah, I had a pearl, a personal zircon lawyer, and a green sapphire. Since my pride was so huge, I never really wanted them around much after you came,"
"Wait, what would you need a zircon and a sapphire for?"
"For zircon, she would normally be needed to help with cases on trials and such, White Diamond was often too busy to handle trivial stuff like that so Yellow and Blue would have handled each trial, or send in me," The mint green gem answered. "As for Green Sapphire, you know what sapphires do, they predict your future and can pretty much predict my whole life...heh, I would often get freaked out because Green Sapphire was the first sapphire I met..." Tourmaline trailed off a bit.
"Green was a sweetheart, so were my zircon and pearl..."
"Huh...so what happened to them?" Her girlfriend asked. Tourmaline chuckled. "I met you, I felt I didn't need the others anymore when I heard you were coming. Or rather, I kinda scared them off…" she said, sounding like her mood changed. "Kinda feel bad about it now but," she shrugged.
"Nothing I can really do about it now..." She said. "Alright, I'm done being sappy. What about you? What was your life like before you met me?
Onyx's eyes lit up for a moment. "Oh, well uuh, it was pretty boring and mundane to be honest," she replied. "There were 2 gems in charge of the production of Era 2 Onyxes. Star Diopside and Clear Quartz. They were...pretty strict," she said.
Onyx shrugged. "Now thinking about it, they were just doing their job. So pretty much everyday we had to line up into groups, take our attendance, and then be free in this one room. It seemed pretty big, but for me it was like living in a cage," she said.
"I didn't really like most of the other Onyxes. They were pretty annoying. And the thing is, not that many gems really wanted off color Era 2 onyxes like us. So only like one or two of us would get picked to be a quartz guard; and I was lucky enough to be picked by White Diamond for you.~" Onyx said flirtatiously to Tourmaline.
She giggled. "Oh stop it," she curled up in the duvet. "Okay," Tourmaline nodded. "I'm getting sleepy now..." she yawned. Her girlfriend nodded as she threw her blanket over herself. "Alright...night Tourmy..." Onyx closed her eyes.
"Goodnight Onyx...I love you.." The mint green gem whispered, drifting off into a dreamless sleep.
(And there we go! All done! It's about time lmao. So here it is folks, the beginning of My Savior 2! This was a blast to write and I can't wait to continue on with this, especially now since my writing is less cringey. And now that there's also a lot more info on what Homeworld is like and how it functions, The Diamond's personalities, weaknesses, etc. It'll be easier to write this now that there's more info! This will also mean that some things will be different like how I portrayed Blue Diamond and all that jazz. And since I'm such a nice person, have a oneshot of Onyx and Tourmaline I wrote on Google Docs. Cya later!)
Just a Court Meeting
"Hey Tourmy, where you going?" Onyx said, almost running to her gem. The mint green gem looked back at her before opening her door.
"Hm? Oh, I'm just going off on a court meeting, nothing special." She said.
"A court meeting? What do you even do there?" Onyx asked. Tourmaline crossed her arms and leaned against the door.
"Okay, so a court meeting is where the highest ranking gems of the court gather up to discuss things like law, resource gathering, tech advancement, and all that jazz." She responded to her guard. "Am I able to go? I-I mean, since the highest ranking gems will be there, do they also bring along their pearls and such?" The jet black gem asked.
"Well, yeah we can. Eh, why the heck not? C'mon, I doubt you've been on one anyways," The mint green gem said. She opened the door and walked out along with Onyx.
Shortly, they were already in the meeting room of the court. "Alright, just act normal, if someone tries talking to you while Iris talks, just ignore em okay?" The aristocratic gem whispered close to Onyx. Her guard nodded.
"Wait, who's Iris?" she asked. Tourmaline and Onyx then took their seats at the large meeting table. Onyx sat next to her gem, assuming that's where she should be.
"Iris Agate! She's a high-ranked quartz here who's in charge of supervision and coordination for meetings like this," she then scoffed. "If I wasn't a part of this court, she could have been White Diamond's right hand.~"
The sleek black gem nodded. "So, she's your rival?"
"No, we don't fight to be White Diamond's right hand. Besides, she can't. I was made just 4 years before the dawn of Era 2, she was made during Era 2." Tourmaline said as she crossed her leg under the table.
Onyx nodded. She looked around. She didn't notice the room was vacant until now. "Oh wow, we're the only ones here?"
The mint green gem looked over. "Yeah, right now we are. Don't worry, everyone else should be here sometime later…" Just as she said that, the warp pad went off. A short, pink gem was on it. She wore a frilly pink dress and seemed to have little wings as she was floating up.
The pale pink gem looked over at Tourmaline with a smug expression as she floated over to to the seat across from the two gems. 'Oh great…' Tourmaline massaged her temple with her right hand.
"Is that your Onyx? Are sure she's not mistaken for an off color?~" The pale pink gem asked as she made her fairy like wings go away.
Tourmaline grunted. "Shut it, Morganite! She's just an Era 2!"
"You know how different Era 2s are compared to the Era 1's Onyxes.~" Two other gems then came out of the warp. A Zircon and a Sapphire whom were both white. The zircon pinched the bridge of her nose as she grunted. The sapphire just silently went to her respective seat.
"I SWEAR BY MY DIAMOND, I CANNOT STAND ANOTHER MINUTE OF BLUE AND YELLOW ZIRCON BICKERING!" White Zircon practically yelled, causing Onyx to flinch. "Yellow Zircon does absolutely nothing but be the smug piece of rock she is, and Blue is nothing but a nervous wreck all the time! It's like can she just get a grip already?!" White Zircon complained out loud as she went to her seat.
"Uuhhh," Onyx looked over at her.
"You know Blue and Yellow Zircon right? Some lawyer gems of their courts?" Tourmaline asked. Her guard nodded.
"Yeah, she over there is normally in the middle of their small fights." Tourmaline responded. "Oohhh…" Onyx nodded. The warp pad lit up again as soon as White Zircon took her seat. A white and pale gray quartz stood on it with her pearl. "Ya know who that is?" Onyx asked Tourmaline. She looked over.
"That's Snow Quartz, another quartz soldier of our court," The mint gem responded. "And not gonna lie, she's not one to mess with, she's nice and all but I do not recommend getting on her bad side. She can mess you up if she wanted to." she pointed out. Onyx exhaled and nodded.
Before Snow Quartz left for her seat, she talked to her Pearl for a bit. "I'll be fine, you can just head back to our room." she said calmly. The pale gray pearl gave a weary smile and nodded, standing back onto the warp pad and leaving. Snow Quartz sighed calmly and went to her seat, right next to Onyx. She looked over at Tourmaline.
"Hi," she greeted. The mint green gem looked over at her.
"Oh...hey," She greeted back sheepishly. "Oh, I forgot to mention, this is my Onyx guard. She's an Era 2..." Tourmaline said as she gestured at Onyx.
"Hello," Snow Quartz greeted calmly. Onyx immediately looked over at her and almost gasped, feeling a bit intimidated by this quartz. "O-Oh! Hi!" The sleek black gem greeted, trying to not be awkward or obvious. The light-colored gem gave a small smile at the numbed down quartz.
'She seems...composed...' Onyx thought.
"Ugh, Where the heck is Iris?! She's always late!" Tourmaline said as she looked over at the warp pad impatiently. It had already been several minutes since she and Onyx had first came in to the meeting room. Onyx leaned back in her chair and looked over at the other gems.
Morganite was talking with White Sapphire, who wasn't saying anything as the small pink gem was speaking. Is she listening? Onyx couldn't make out the sapphire's expression as they normally keep most of their face, mostly their eye covered by their hair.
White Zircon was twiddling with her thumbs impatiently in her seat as she was waiting for Iris Agate to just arrive already. The warp pad lit up, having everyone look over in anticipation. "Iris?" Tourmaline looked over, folding her hands up.
"Nope! It's me!" White Diamond's pearl called out from the warp pad.
"Pearl? What are you doing here, where's Iris?"Tourmaline asked as she looked over. Pearl walked over to the gems on the table. "Unfortunately, Iris is supervising Pink Diamond's human zoo along with Holly Blue. It was just assigned to her last minute, I'm terribly sorry.." White Pearl said.
Tourmaline's eye twitched. After a few silent moments she spoke up. "So when's the meeting gonna be rescheduled?" she said through grit teeth. Onyx wasn't paying attention much, as she was just fiddling with her sleeve.
Pearl stuttered. "B-By next week, your grace..!" she shakily said, barely carrying her reports together. At this point, most of them gems who were sitting in the room along with Onyx and Tourmaline had already left, either irritated that their coordinator hadn't shown or thankful it was over with quickly.
The mint green gem just sighed. "Alright then, come on Onyx, let's go," she said as she got up from her seat. Onyx looked up and nodded.
"Yeah, how bout next time you just stay in our room?"
(Yea, I have a lot of gem ocs. Most I don't really plan on using much but some others I'll actually use)
