The diamond embassy was quiet, the guards were making her rounds, and the three monarchs were overseeing homeworld. It seemed as though Homeworld's golden age was at its prime, thanks to a number of technological advances and a new air of harmony among the gems. but this air was going to become a smog in a mater of days. down below, in the dungeons, a sudden explosion shook the embassy. a flood of guards ran across the halls, seeing that all the gems were accounted for accept for one. they did not see any gem enter or leave the dungeons and they all stood there, confused and concerned about their safety if the captain were to find out. they did not bother to look above them, however, as a purple gem crawled along the cieling of the dungeon halls and found its way to the exit. when the gem stepped onto the ground it was greeted by a Blue Diamond guard.
"Halt! who goes there?"
The gem was obviously a novice, since no self-respecting guard would say that statement and the gem's armor and weapon were not being used properly. the purple gem stood there and stared at the guard with their face wrapped in scarves. the only thing the guard could see of the gem's face were two eyes, but instead of irises and pupils, they were glazed over with mirrors. the left was blue and the right was red. this deformity was common among gems whose gems were damaged, but this one's gems were both intact.
"What... are you?"
The purple gem did not intend to answer, but before it could, an all-too familiar voice was heard.
"Get back here you abomination!"
the gems both looked down a hall to see that the Yellow Diamond captain was charging through the halls with her headgear on. she then heaved forward and began to roll like a saw across the hall, on a collision course for the two gems. Jasper was about 100 feet away at this point. the purple gem was ready to get away, but noticed the Blue Diamond guard was paralyzed in fear, so the purple gem reached for the left side of their head where their gem was and pulled out a light blue broadsword, which the gem then angled onto the ground, making a ramp with it. jasper was about 50 feet away at this point. The gem saw Jasper getting closer and screamed in fear, worried she was going to be killed. Jasper was 10 feet away and getting closer with each passing millisecond. Suddenly the broadsword flashed a bright white and blue and widened into the shape of a tower shield which reached over the two gems and suddenly Jasper rolled on the shield and launched into the air, crashing into the wall. She struggled as her headgear was lodged into the stone and she was unable to get out. The Blue Diamond guard was shocked by what happened and stared at jasper as the captain of the Yellow Diamond Guards struggled to get her own headgear out of the stone.
"Th-thank you. What's your name-?"
when she turned around, she saw the balcony was open and the purple gem who saved her life was gone.
