The shackless cells were slowly being covered by dust as a gem warrior walks past them in a hurry. No one was there in the cell, but the gem was surely afraid of creature that the cell used to hold. No none has ever seen that beast before, and if they have? Well lets say your pretty damn lucky your living without any loss limb.
Terror, Fear, and then Death is what feeds this killer.
Gems that fought this beast never thought of surviving. They got crushed without even trying. Their shards left in the open to be found by their leaders in the morning.
It wasn't until a exposition to this gem temple that held this beast, that Yellow Diamond knew that this beast had to be tamed and eventually shattered if its a gem. That's why she sent out Pearl, General Rose, and Howlite to check if the soldiers that went out to seek supplies from a supply ship that sent the last known location of this beast.
No one heard from the team yet, but deep down Rose has a sickening feeling that the team had vanished. The feeling came back again as soon as they arrived up from the fifteen mile hike up the stairs and at the gigantic bronze doors of the temple.
Rose heard Howlite talk about the intended soldiers hopefully being still alive, the first gem being Moonstone, Pearls half sister and friend. They begged Moonstone not to sign up for this mission, and yet she did anyways. Pearl would be devastated if anything happens to her. In fact, she would ask Yellow Diamond to end her life, even if she is already defective.
The gems entered the temple with weapons drawn. Howlite with a saw, Pearl with her staff, and Rose with her shield and sword. With full control over her sword, Rose felt her shield disappearing without her doing. She lets go before it turns into shattered metal. Her heart was pounding harder than anything now, (she has a heart in this story. Don't bother telling me that. Okay.)
"Rose!" Pearl hissed in the darkness. "Why you dropped your shield?"
"Something or someone is making me loose control over my shield and there's no way I can get it back. But at least I can still summon my bubble." Rose whispered directly at Pearl. She felt an odd feeling that she wasn't Summoning her bubble. "Its making me stop receiving my powers. I don't like this, but we have to move on. Let's go."
"B-but..." Pearl was going to say but decided not to.
As the gems hurried through the halls which were now lit by candles unexpectedly, they came up to a dead end between two doors with locks on them. Howlite tried to cut through the silver chains. The gem did not notice that the sound was making loud noises.
"Its not sharp enough to cut through, Howlite. We have to find another-" Pearl started but stopped.
"What? Why are you staring at me like you are seeing a ghost." Howlite asks frowning a bit and looking over her shoulder. She then looked back at Pearl. "Dragon. It just has to be a dragon. RUN!" she screams and takes off in the direction of the dragon, nearly missing the giant paw that threatened to crush her.
Rose and Pearl ran after her with their weapons drawn and in a defense position. They heard Howlite's yelp and ran faster to see the dragon pinning her with its mighty claws. There's two dragons now or is that the same one? Rose and Pearl decided to not think of that, and ran to save their friend. Howlite tried to move but then the dragon somehow spun her around to see her gem on her nose.
"HEY!" Rose shouted and threw her sword at the monster as it raised its paws to crush Howlite's gem. The sword impaled it but didn't stop the dragon from crushing her gem. The painful crunch and the scream of agony from Howlite gave both Rose and Pearl fear that they could be next.
"NO! NONONO! HOWLITE! YOU DAMN MONSTER!" Pearl screamed and ran to the fallen gems aid as she too was in need of aid when the dragons wings slapped her away. She fell a couple feet away from Rose and poofs as she lands on her side. Her staff slipping from her hands.
Rose, with tears in her eyes, picks up the Pearl gem and ran away from the chaos while the dragons roars behind her. She runs out of the temple and nearly falls down the stairs. She then spots the ship, taking her back to Homeworld. She runs into the ship, made sure Pearl was safely in a seat when she regenerates, and finally went into the sink to puke.
Yellow Diamond needs to hear this.
