TB: Hark! What is this? Another original Disney style story from yours truly, the TKD. Bros.?!
KKD: Surprise! Been a while since we cooked one up.
TB: But after the cool idea of a Japanese Princess story set in Ancient Japan, where do we go from there? Then it hit me. Do you like the 80s?
KKD: Depends on the reader, but-
TB: Of course you do! This story is set both in the late 80s and in a fantastical world.
KKD: You'll see what we mean by that. Still, we're both looking forward to this new addition to our own "Disney Universe", so to speak.
TB: I'm looking forward to this too. I was wondering how to make this work, and then it came to me… you'll also notice some, let's say, Steven Universe inspirations in this story.
KKD: We won't get too specific, but if you saw the title, it may or may not give you some clues. Though in hindsight, part of this feels like the DC Comic heroine Amethyst in a way.
TB: Also like that too. You'll see why in a bit. Shall we get started?
KKD: Ikuze. Disclaimers?
DISCLAIMERS: Neither TB nor KKD own anything related to Disney, the style the company uses, or any properties it owns that may or may not be mentioned. They also do not own anything but the original concepts, characters, and ideas seen within.
It starts on a backdrop of a night sky, but the land visible could be seen dotted with crystals and gems before it pans out, revealing a castle made of gemstones, the colors shining in the night. As we get a full view of the gem castle, a shimmer of light flew over in an arc as the word 'Disney' appeared below the castle. We now pan and zoom closer towards the gem castle, inside one of the windows to bear witness to a woman who had blonde hair, pure white colored irises with black outlines in her eyes and wore a white dress while barefoot. She was pacing back and forth while running her fingers through her hair.
"Our kingdom is in turmoil… nearing war…" she muttered, trying to keep her cool while looking out her window on the numerous different villages connected by the roads leading to the castle, "What would my sister do?"
She sighed, looking towards a statue of a warrior holding a special broadsword as she held her hands together.
"I just pray that someone will come and help us."
It is now the morning, and a young woman was yawning as she got out of bed, her amber hair shimmering in the sunlight while partially covering up her cyan eyes. She got her hair out of her eyes and looked at her clock.
"Whew… gotta get ready," she sighed, getting out of bed and getting dressed.
As she did, she moved her hair to reveal a white diamond shaped tattoo on the back of her neck.
After a while, she was now dressed in a denim vest jacket over a white t-shirt with neon pink sleeves, camo cargo shorts, no socks, and yellow sneakers. After she finished up her morning toast, she was getting ready to leave for school.
"Jessica, before you go, how about a hug and a kiss?" she heard her mother call out, making her sigh before approaching the older woman doing just that, "Have a good day at school."
"Thanks, Mom," Jessica bid as she managed to show a little smile.
"I love you."
"...Love you too."
She grabbed her skateboard and placed it down on the sidewalk. She set her orange headphones in her ears, and hit the play button on her Walkman to start some music in her ears. Jess smiled to herself before jumping on her skateboard and beginning to skate down the sidewalk.
Walt Disney Pictures Presents
Gemtropolis
New York City, 1988
Jessica rode her skateboard across the busy streets and sidewalks, grinding on rails and avoiding any people passing by. With Cyndi Lauper's Girls Just Wanna Have Fun blasting in her ears, she went on the street and grabbed the rear bumper of a car, holding onto it as she wheeled right behind it. She waved to the driver when he looked back before she let go and held onto the back of a pick-up truck going down the route her school's in. She continued down the gray and black streets, spotting several people in many bright neon colors and waving before she let go of the truck and continued wheeling through the streets before going into Times Square. She looked around at all the signs while bobbing her head to the song, smiling as she rode along the street.
Eventually, she managed to make it to the school after passing some more buildings, hopping onto the sidewalk and picking her skateboard up. She gripped her board tightly as she walked up to the campus door, soon spotting two girls, one black and the other hispanic.
"Hey Rose, Tasha!" Jessica called out.
"Chica! Glad you could make it," the hispanic, Rose responded as the two girls embraced before they walked inside.
"Let me guess, are we getting the usual hazing of freshmen from the seniors?"
"Oh no way, we bailin' 'fo they can even try and notice us. And if they do try and do somethin', they'll know not to mess with us," Tasha answered, smiling while cracking her fists as Jessica giggled in response.
"You really think so?" they heard a male voice ask from behind them, "Heh. You girls are like the female Three Musketeers here."
"Not now, Mac. We aren't even gonna face incessant hazing from you," Jessica shrugged off, trying to ignore the seniors advances and troublemaking.
"Incessant is the best kind of hazing, though."
"I don't think you even know what 'incessant' means, idiota," Rose scoffed.
"Ignore 'im, Jess. We got our own classes to get to," Tasha insisted.
"When you're done I have a serious question to ask! For real, it's about your futures!" Mac hollered out above the crowd, as the three walked off.
"Not interested, dude," Jessica called back, continued to walk away.
Later, Jessica was sitting on a mat in the gym waiting for her turn on the balancing beam while powdering her hands and feet.
'Help us,' Jessica heard whisper and echo in her mind, making her look confused for a moment, 'We are in danger. We need help before it gets worse'
'What?' she thought before she heard a high ringing and started scratching at the diamond tattoo on her neck.
"DiMartino, you're up!" Jessica heard the coach said, snapping out of her stupor and letting her go up on the balance beam.
"Here goes…" she muttered as she got ready.
She managed to stay on the beam, balanced with skill, effortlessly on one foot before managing to flip sideways, forwards, and backwards, sticking the landing every time, getting an applause from her classmates before she used a flip to jump off the beam and land on the mat safely.
"Good job, DiMartino. Good job. Next!" the coach complimented and called out as Jessica walked over to grab her towel and sit down.
"That was really well done, Jessica," one of the girls complimented.
"Thanks." she smiled, wiping the sweat from her forehead.
That afternoon, Jessica was setting up a red electric guitar to the speaker on a stage as she prepared for a school dance audition.
"You're the next one to audition for lead guitarist for the band playing at the school dance?" the judge inquired of Jessica.
"Yep. I hope that I can rock your socks off," she answered.
"...Alright. Show us what you Can do."
After tuning her guitar, Jessica gave a countdown for herself before starting to play the main riff of Back in Black by AC/DC. She strummed with confidence and even strutted and danced a bit while playing as the judge watched her with interest. She then did her own little solo as the judge soon looked like he heard enough.
"Okay, stop, stop, you can stop now," the judge responded, making Jessica stop and look at him, "I'm afraid you're just too loud. I'm sorry, you played great, but for this year's theme, we can't go that extreme. Next please."
This left her a bit down as she unplugged the guitar and left.
"I'm not kidding, he said I was too loud. What a wussy," Jessica told her friends after school, clearly upset about the matter.
"I getcha, girl. So what if they think you're music is too loud, ya tried and that's all that matters," Tasha assured as Jessica sighed for a moment.
"I guess you're right."
"By the way, what do you wanna do? Be a guitarist or dancer?" Rose checked.
"Why not both? It feels natural to do both. When I'm not playing guitar, I'll dance. When I'm not dancing, I'll rock that axe like no one's business. It's that simple," Jessica shrugged off.
"That kinda does sound cool," they heard a voice note, turning to see the young man they met before.
"You again?" Tasha groaned.
"Okay, you had a question to ask, right Mac? What is it?" Jessica sighed.
"It sounds really cool that you wanna do both of those things. But… seeing how parents help their children towards their goals… don't you think it'll be hard to do things without a dad to help you?"
Jessica could only stare at him, looking like she would choke up.
"Mac, you've got no taste. You know Jessica is very touchy about the subject," Rose nearly scolded.
"I'm just saying it sounds like a lot on her mom's plate, being single and not knowing about who the father is?" Mac defended himself, raising his hands as Jessica wiped some tears out of her eyes.
"I gotta go," Jessica responded quickly as she bolted, jumping on her skateboard and zipped down the road.
"Real smooth, Mac," Tasha sighed.
"What? Was it something I said?" Mac asked, genuinely confused.
Meanwhile, Jessica's mother was doing some cleaning around the living room as the door opened.
"Oh, Jessica, you're home," she gasped, pleasantly surprised as she gave her a hug.
"Hey, Mom," Jessica waves before returning the hug.
"How was school?"
"Not so good. I auditioned for the school band to be the guitarist for the dance, but they said that I was 'too loud' and 'didn't fit with the theme they were going for'," Jessica complained as her mom put her broom away.
"Oh Jess, honey… I'm sorry to hear that. I do enjoy listening to the music you play."
"Thanks… I'm going to make some spaghetti for dinner tonight."
"I would like that."
Her mom nodded as she left for the kitchen.
While Jessica waited, she took the tape out of her Walkman and placed it into her radio, turning it on to play Billie Jean by Michael Jackson. She smiled, tapping her feet to the beat before breaking out her dance moves, moving smoothly to the music, her hips and legs swaying left and right as she took each step while doing it. Jessica even kicked her shoes off so her soles can feel the carpet floor while she dances, letting her moves become more fluent. She was even lip syncing the lyrics while doing so.
Just as she was enjoying her dance, a glimmer shone from her close, which caught her eye and made her stop.
"Huh?" she uttered, turning her music off and walking closer to the door.
She reached for the door and opened it. Once she did, she saw it was just her normal closet. Clothes, small dresser, hangars, all there. The only thing odd was a diamond in the middle of the floor inside. She was about to grab ahold of it.
"Jessica, dinner's ready!" she heard her mother calling out to her, letting her take a sigh before she closed the closet door.
As she left, the diamond inside seemed to fade with the darkness as it disappeared.
Soon, the two were having dinner together, Jessica simply poking her fork at her spaghetti, making her mom look at her all concerned.
"What's troubling you, Jessica?" the mother asked, making the teen look up at her.
"Nothing. I don't want you to worry," she tried to assure.
"You can still tell me. I'll try my best to help you."
Jessica looked away for a moment before letting out a breath and putting her fork down.
"How come you won't tell me about my father?" Jessica asked, leaving her mom to shift her eyes a bit.
"It's… complicated," the mother answered, giving a slightly nervous or sheepish tone to it.
"You always say that. How complicated is it to tell me what happened to my father or who he is?"
"I'll tell you when you're old enough."
"Mom, I'm 15."
"Okay, well when you're ready."
"I think I can handle it fine, Mom. Whatever it is, I'll accept it."
"I don't even know if you would accept it, or even believe me!"
"Just quit beating around the bush and tell me!"
"I can't!" the mother yelled, leaving Jessica looking very disappointed, "I just can't tell you!"
"...You can't or you won't…" Jessica checked, seeing her mother was trying to avoid the subject all together.
"It's just a touchy subject for me, and you know that. I cannot tell you what happened to your father right now."
"You know a dude named Mac asked how am I going to prepare for a future with no dad around here to help… it's gotta be hard for you to raise me on your own."
"I've done pretty good so far."
"But do you know how troubling it is for me when some ask me 'Where's your dad, kid?' and I don't have an answer?"
"It's not just you who is having trouble with that. I can't even bring it up around my friends or where I work or else they'll never stop asking me!" the mother retorted as she stood up, Jessica sighing, "We're not having this conversation right now."
Jessica looked down in defeat, not having gotten any real answers about her father.
"It's hard for both of us, okay? I just want you to know that there will be a time to know."
"...It's just now isn't the time, right?" Jessica asked, sniffling a bit as she even started to cry, "You always say that."
"Come here."
Jessica caved in and hugged her mother, which she comfortingly returned, patting Jessica on the head.
"I'm sorry, Jessica. I really am sorry," the mother apologized.
"Am I really that hard to raise on your own? Do I give you a hard time?" Jessica whimpered, not sure how else to react.
"Never say that. I already said that I've done a pretty good job raising you so far. That Mac kid was just being insensitive, so don't let his question get to you," the mother comforted as Jessica rubbed her face on her mother's shoulders, "Look. When you're done with school tomorrow, I'll make it up to you. We can watch a movie together."
"...Sounds good, I guess."
"As for when I'll tell you… you just need to give me more time. I need to build up some more courage to tell you the truth, since this is a difficult thing to discuss for both of us."
"If you say so… I'm gonna go to bed now."
"You haven't finished eating though."
"That argument made me lose my appetite," Jessica admitted, the two looking very upset that, even though it didn't end badly, there's still a lot to unpack between the two.
"Ok… Thanks for at least trying to understand," the mother smiled as Jessica looked back a little bit and giving a small smile of her own before walking back to her room, leaving her to clean up.
Later that night, Jessica was already sleeping quietly, rolling in her sleep as she rubbed her face. The glow behind her closet door happened again, a soft music being heard echoing through the room, Jessica groaning as the diamond tattoo on her neck started glowing and she started scratching it. It was almost as if the tattoo was itching and irritating her as the door creaked open, a black claw with orange crystalline nails creaking in.
Jessica's mother was sleeping soundly in her own room, tossing and turning in her slumber, unaware of a dark shadow creeping over the room itself before hovering over her form, growling larger and more menacingly until the room went completely black.
The next morning, Jessica was already dressed and ready for school, having some buttered toast and grabbing her skateboard.
"Mom, I'm heading out!" she called out, but didn't get an immediate answer, "...Mom? *still no answer* That's weird, usually she's still home around this time. Maybe she went to work early today."
She shrugged a bit before going out and riding her skateboard, turning her Walkman on in the process. Jessica scratched where her tattoo was yet again, but she shrugged it off.
At school, Jessica was in her music class, focusing on what was being taught and playing her guitar, making sure to do her best, but as she hit the notes, one played so loud that she went out of tune.
"Mac!" the teacher called out in annoyance after that surprise, the senior from before holding a tuba.
"Sorry. Got a little too excited there," he chuckled nervously before clearing his throat.
"Let's try this again, everyone."
With a count, the teacher got the class back on track, Jessica playing her guitar to keep up with the others while tapping her foot in a way that helped her.
After class was over, she put her guitar in the case and sighed a bit before standing up.
"Hey, Jess!" she heard Mac call out, trying to get her attention.
"Not now. I'm not in the mood, Mac. I need to get to my next class," Jessica uttered as she started to leave.
"It's quick, I swear. I wanted to say I'm sorry for what I said yesterday. Your friends told me how touchy of a subject the whole father thing is. I admit that I'm not very smart, but I never wanted to hurt your feelings in any way. I am very sorry."
Jessica looked at Mac with a gaze that conveyed that she could feel he was telling the truth, allowing her to sigh a bit before smiling.
"It's cool, Mac. Now you know not to bring it up again, alright?" she checked.
"Totally," Mac nodded and smiled.
"I'm at least thankful that Mom needs some time before she tells me about it."
"Yeah. So, I was wondering… do you wanna go out with me some time? I don't know when, but maybe at some point it would be nice."
"...Let me think about that. I'll let you know when," Jessica requested as she walked out, leaving Mac to think a bit before he walked out of the classroom as well.
"Dude, I asked her and she said she'll think about it," she heard Mac tell someone before turning around to see him talking with another guy.
"Don't get your hopes up too high, Mac. It wasn't a yes," the guy pointed out.
"It wasn't a no, either."
The two dudes seemed to chuckle a bit before the man pinched Mac's cheek.
"C'mon, let's go get some burgers, my treat," Mac offered before they were gripping hands in a way that made Jessica widened her eyes.
"Oh my God, he's gay… A gay just asked me out…" Jessica muttered to herself in shock, slowly turning around while scratching the back of her neck again.
"Que?" Rose gawked as the three were walking outside the school.
"You heard right, Mac asked me out after apologizing for yesterday, and then I turn to see him holding hands with another guy. He's straight up into dudes!" Jessica shouted.
"No, no, if he was gay, it would be only dudes. He asked you out right?" Tasha pointed out, Jessica nodding in response, "Then he's bi."
"Meaning…"
"He likes both chicks and dudes. There's a big difference."
Jessica rolled her eyes and sighed while gripping the bridge of her nose.
"Still, it's great that you got a date with Mac," Rose smiled.
"I told him I would think about it. It's not a yes or a no… still, it's going to be really weird if we got this three person date going on. I mean, two's company, three's a crowd, amiright?" Jessica responded.
"Are you going to treat him differently just because he's bi?" Tasha sighed, "I know that he's dumb sometimes, but he genuinely seems like a nice guy and maybe having a girlfriend along with a boyfriend would be great for him."
"*sighs* No, I'm not going to treat him any differently than how we normally act around him. Still, it's new… very bizarre territory. I ain't gonna judge, but I still need to sit on it."
"We ain't rushin' you, chica," Rose assured as Jessica skateboarded away, waving to them.
She groaned as that tattoo glowed a little again, making her scratch it once more.
"Mom, I'm home!" she called out as she walked in, but there was no answer, "The car's been here since this morning. What's going on?"
She started to look around the house for her mother, finding no signs of her being there, even in her most frequented spots, until she noticed the bedroom door. Most specifically, the lack of a knob as it was on the floor, as if someone broke in and tore it off.
"Mom?" Jessica nervously asked, opening the door.
She then gasped in horror, falling back after seeing the room itself was shredded, curtains torn, sheets and blankets in tatters, feathers out of the pillows, the mirror broken as if it was punched, and it was just a mess. Jessica was hyperventilating as she tried to locate her mother.
"Mom! Mom! Where are you?!" she panicked, calling out and researching every spot, no matter how silly, but she had no luck, making her scream in fear and frustration, "WHERE ARE YOU?!"
Later, there were some police officers searching the torn bedroom while Jessica was sitting on her bed looking very panicked, running her fingers through her hair while making fists with her toes on the carpet. She tried to take deep breaths, but was really worried for her mom. An officer walked in to see Jessica, the young girl looking up.
"Well?" she checked.
"There's no sign of her anywhere in the house. We can safely say there's no signs of any form of death, but there's also no obvious signs of kidnapping or anything else. Until further notice, this will be ruled as a missing person's case," the officer informed.
"Please look for my mom. She's the only known family I have; I have no idea where or who my dad is, and she and I have been living together ever since I was born. I know we fight sometimes, but… she means alot to me. Please find her."
As Jessica pleaded, tears streamed down her eyes, trying to compose herself, the officer placed his hand on her shoulder.
"We'll do our best, I promise you. Do you want to accompany us to the station?" the officer asked as Jessica took a deep breath and stood up.
"No thank you. I can take care of myself in here," Jessica assured as the officers nodded and left yellow and black 'Do Not Cross' tape in front of the damaged bedroom.
The young girl sighed as she returned to her room, pacing while running her fingers through her hair. As she did so, her tattoo glowed, making her groan and scratch the mark again.
"Ugh, what is with this itching?"
She winced before noticing something out the corner of her eye, turning to see it come from her closet.
"Again?" Jessica sighed, walking into her closet and opening the doors, this time finding the diamond in the center of the floor once again.
She had a curious expression on her face as she reached out for the gemstone and touched it. It glowed as she examined it, her tattoo glowing as well, but it didn't make her scratch it this time. She covered her eyes as the light from the gemstone intensified before a pillar of light appeared around her. Jessica gasped as she was whisked up into the air, the pillar disappearing from her home, leaving behind a scorched diamond symbol in the middle of the floor.
As Jessica was rocketed skyward, she screamed while soaring through a rainbow vortex, trying to see where she was going and keep herself from falling out of control. She was able to see past the rainbow to witness the vacuum of space before she found herself sailing over a grassy field, dropping to the ground and tumbling out until she rolled into the garden of a nearby palace. She groaned, trying to get herself back up.
"Man, I didn't even get to put my sneakers on…" she muttered, rubbing her head as she wobbly got up to her feet, using a post to help her regain balance, "Where am I?"
"Welcome to the Diamond Gardens, I've been expecting you," she heard a voice speak up, making her shriek in panic, turning to see a woman with amber eyes and straight black hair, wearing a white sleeveless V neck top, matching blouse, and was barefoot.
"Wh-Who're you? Where am I? How did I get here?!"
"Relax, relax, my child. Everything is going to be fine. Come with me."
Jessica was hesitant, but still followed to try and make sense out of all of this. This took her inside a palace which appeared to be decorated like a medieval castle, but with small gemstones embedded into some of the walls and to make it look nice and shiny.
"This place is very pretty," she admitted as she admired the architecture of the building.
"This is the Diamond Palace. It is home to the Diamond Kingdom, one of the Eight Gem Homes. This kingdom overlooks all the other lands," the woman explained, showing her the balcony leading to an overall view of the land, "This is Gemtropolis… welcome."
From the balcony, Jessica could see the many colorful lands of this strange world, all connected by a bridge that branches out from the Diamond Kingdom to various lands of different colors, of which she could see reds, blues, greens, whites, and purples.
"Wow…" Jessica gawked as she looked out in amazement, "It all looks so beautiful."
"Indeed, this sight always astounds me, as well. Now you are wondering how and why you're here now," the woman replied, "First, introductions. My name is Diane. You must be Jessica DiMartino, the young daughter of Lucy DiMartino."
"...How do you know the my name and my mother's?"
"Surely she must've told you stories about this place?"
"Well… come to think of it, I do remember her telling me stories about a beautiful world of gems when I was a little girl… *giggles* it always made me excited because I loved those stories. Mom seemed especially happy to tell them to me as well. Wait, does that mean my mom's actually been here before?"
"Maybe… maybe not. I cannot say right now," Diane shrugged, "What I will say now is that right now the Diamond Queen and your mother are in great danger."
"They are?! Wait, how do you know that?"
"I was able to sense a rogue Corrupted Gem escape and find its way into your room. I couldn't send any assistance in time to save her, though; she was captured by the Gem and brought here somewhere"
"So THAT was why Mom's room was all torn and messed up! That thing took her! Oh please tell me she's okay!"
"I could sense her, and Lucy is indeed fine, however, I cannot seem to detect her whereabouts. As for the Diamond Queen… my sister Selene... she's disappeared as well."
"She has?"
"Yes… worse yet, all the Gem Homes are getting dangerously close to a civil war over who is holding Selene. Each is attempting to figure out where the Queen is and who may have her," Diane explained, leaving Jessica stunned.
"How does any of this involve me?" she asked.
"Your mother may not have told you this, but she and the Queen were close friends and well beloved throughout Gemtropolis. I was told if anyone could possibly help reunite the people to find the queen, and Lucy, it would be you. You bear the mark of the Diamond Kingdom on your neck."
"Is THAT what that thing was? I thought it was some sort of weird tattoo."
"At a certain age, it was given to you without you realizing it. You, Jessica DiMartino have been chosen as the Diamond Warrior, the one to reunite the Gem Warriors and find your mother and my sister," Diane explained, Jessica managing to nod as she was talking.
"I don't get any of this, but I think I understand what to do. Make sure these warriors you talk about are friends again, then I'll find my mom and this queen. I'll do anything to help my mom… she's my only family," Jessica assured, placing a hand on her chest as wiped a single tear from her eye.
"Then it is done. *claps hands together* First, you'll need a companion and mode of transportation."
Diane then whistled a sort of song, as a bird resembling a white swan with feathers that glistened with a rainbow reflection flew from the sky and onto Diane's arm. The swan let out a caw before looking to Jessica.
"This is my sister's pet, Gemma. She is a beautiful and magnificent Diamond Swan. She can get you where you need to go," Diane explained and assured, the swan shaking her head.
"Wow… I never seen a swan up close before, especially not one like that," Jessica admitted, amazed by how it looks before Gemma extended her neck out.
"She wants you to pet her."
Jessica was a bit hesitant, slowly reaching out to the swan who simply came closer to her until Gemma's head came into contact with Jessica's hand, the swan letting out a gentle chirping sound.
"Aw~, she's so cute," Jessica couldn't help but giggle as the swan let out another gentle chirp, flying up to her arm and shoulder, "*giggle* I'm gonna like you."
"Glad to know you've warmed up so quickly. For now, you should be off to your first destination… the Emerald Fields," Diane smiled before informing, "There, you will meet with the young chosen warrior of that home, Sara. She should be the easiest to win over, given her… demeanor."
"What do you mean?"
"You'll understand once you meet her. To get to where she's stationed, you can ride Gemma over to the bridge and enter the Emerald Fields."
"Wait, ride Gemma? No offense, but she isn't exactly the right size to fly on."
"That can be fixed."
Gemma then hopped to the ground before spreading her wings, the glow from her body causing the swan to grow outside the balcony.
"Wow! That is so cool!" Jessica gawked in amazement.
"You can admire her splendor in the air. Go on now," Diane ushered Jessica.
The young girl stepped over the balcony, nervously trying to get on top of Gemma's back without wobbling off.
"Gently please," Jessica requested as Gemma chirped, spreading her wings and soaring through the sky, the girl holding onto dear life.
"Have a safe trip!" Diane waved, as Gemma flew out of sight, heading for the Emerald Fields.
KKD: This was quite the fun tale to spin.
TB: Oh yes it was. In the first chapter, we've established the settings, the characters, their personalities, the conflict, and all that.
KKD: We did stick around in NYC for a while, but it does help establish Jessica's state of normalcy before answering the call to adventure, so to speak.
TB: And yes, we are including the subject of bisexuality here and there like we did with Mac earlier, but we are handling it in a tasteful and respectful manner.
KKD: Hopefully the execution turns out well enough.
TB: We're gonna spend a lot of time in Gemtropolis to get to know the Gem Warriors, so stay tuned for that. As for favorite part?
KKD: Hmmm… I'd have to say the scene where we first see Gemtropolis, or really, anything we've seen of it so far. You?
TB: I'd say first time we see Gemtropolis, as well as the moments between Jessica and her mother Lucy.
KKD: Yea. All of those are really sweet moments.
TB: What else is there in store for this story? You'll just have to wait and see to find out. Until then, you know who we are…
KKD: Ore wa za Crossover King, KKD Silver!
TB: And the Lone Rider, TokuBrony… signing off.
KKD: *salutes* Jaa ne.
TB: SEIYAA!
