Chapter 1: A New Reality
Yellow Diamond paced quickly to lab 53, her boots making the only sound in the entire hallway. She was shaking in excitement, a report was sent from this lab to her not to long ago that could change everything! She entered the lab and saw what was before her. On the other side of the glass was a portal gate. Ever since the Era 2 began on Homeworld resources were getting scarce, if this lab succeeded in its assignment the resource crisis would be over! With new dimensions to explore, they would be able to have a limitless supply of resources and become the first inter-dimensional empire! She walked over to the lab manager, a Zircon. She was six feet tall and had short hair and was blue. She turned to Yellow Diamond and bowed "My Diamond, thank you for coming. We are just about to test the portal gate for the first time!"
Yellow nodded in acknowledgement "Let us begin then!" Zircon nodded and directed the other Gems to begin the procedure. Suddenly a blue glow appeared from the middle and began to expand, slowly. "Portal power at 10%." Zircon stated as the glow was growing brighter. "30%." Yellow clicked her heels together and a smile crept upon her face. She would be regarded as the Diamond who saved Gemkind, unlike Blue or White. "70%." Zircon continued, it was getting brighter and brighter. Suddenly it glowed red, and started to expand a brighten at an alarming rate! "Zircon what's happening!?" Yellow demanded "It's overcharging!" Zircon yelled "99%" she finished with. Suddenly it jumped to 111%! "It's going to blow! Everyone find cover!" Zircon ducked under her desk and the other Gems did the same. Unfortunately since Yellow Diamond was 30 feet tall, there wasn't a lot of places to hide. The portal frame exploded and Yellow was engulfed with red light and everything went dark.
Yellow woke with a start, she was laying on the ground looking up at a large yellow star. "Thats funny, Homeworld's star is red." she thought. She sat up and looked around, she was definitely not on Homeworld. All around her was desert, however running through it was a black path made of some strange material. She stood up and turned around, behind her was a sign. It was much more primitive than signs on Homeworld. For one thing, the message didn't move to follow the viewer's eye. The sign read "Interstate Fifteen." She walked up to it and put her hand on it to inspect it. She recoiled when she saw her hand, it was tan rather than yellow. Also it wasn't hard, rather it was kinda squishy. She looked down at herself, she was still wearing her clothing but one thing was noticeably missing. Her gem was gone, replaced by two squishy, things! She started to hyperventilate, then she stopped for a single moment. She needed to breath! Worry started to settle in as she knew what these were signs of! Finally she spotted a puddle of water close to the sign, she slowly walked over and saw her reflection. Her hair was the same, though not as vibrant. However she saw her face, it looked the same. Stunning as ever, but her eyes were brown and had round pupils. She knew what she was, "I'm Human!" she screamed!
