Deep in the center of the Prime Kindergarten, inside a building meant to be kept hidden, a small pink shard floated in a batch of purple chemicals inside a chamber filled with teal liquid. Pink Diamond, one of the four matriarchs of the Diamond Authority; the youngest out of the four, and ruler of the future Earth Colony; gazed directly at the chamber with a hopeful expression.
"My Diamond," said an unknown voice
Pink turned to find an Era 1 peridot in a lab coat with a gem on her chest, long blonde hair that reached her hips, no limb enhancers, and she was about as tall as a pearl.
"After running a few scans results, show that with that shard you took from your gem acting as a catalyst, once the gem emerges she'll be able to use your powers without burning out her physical form," said the peridot
Pink Diamond gave a warm, friendly smile and stars appeared in her eyes.
"Splendid," she said with childlike excitement.
"But, since your shard is synchronizing both her diamond DNA and her quartz DNA she won't be able to tap into her diamond genes unless you unlock them for her using your telepathic powers," she added.
"Understandable, but when I unlock her diamond powers will I be able to turn them off?" asked Pink Diamond
No
"Good, because I want her to enjoy her powers without fear of having them taken away from her, I don't want her to feel like I'm using her as a weapon" she replied
"Oh, and um, my Diamond, permission to speak freely?" the peridot asked
Pink smiled at that.
Granted.
The peridot gave her an excited smile
"My Diamond, I just want to say that I'm happy to be apart this project and what we're doing here is gonna go down in Gem history," she said as stars appear in her eyes.
"I mean this is just truly exciting, we are creating a quartz soldier that has your DNA and your powers. "Oh, I can only imagine her potential," she said tingling with excitement.
Pink reaches down and pats the peridot on the head.
I couldn't imagine doing this without my first peridot, Ivy.
The peridots face turned a darker shade of green at the mention of her nickname. Pink Diamond had given it to her on the day she emerged. Pink thought it was necessary to honor her first peridot to have ever emerged.
At that moment, the purple chemicals surrounding the pink shard began to shrink around it until a purple gemstone formed around the shard, sealing it inside.
The process is complete, my Diamond! exclaimed Ivy excitedly
The gem was an amethyst with a hexagonal facet.
"Excellent, prepare the Injector, I'll be with you in a minute," said Pink
As Ivy headed out to the Kindergarten, Pink opened the chamber and picked up the amethyst gem and looked at it.
She then smiled and placed a kiss on it
"I believe you will be something amazing . . . 8XM," said Pink
