A/N: This is my very first story, I'm very passionate with my creativity and I truly do have so many ideas for this story and hopefully more to come! So please do review, give me some constructive criticism, I would absolutely love to grow as a writer to entertain a potential audience! So, enjoy!

Prologue

Here… On this vast planet lived beings that owned the goal of spreading their empire all throughout the universe that they knew. They used the natural resources of every planet to grow their civilization from the ground up. Those resources grew the population that did everything to please their rulers.

The Great Diamond Authority.

The Great Diamond Authority ruled with their superior forms and power, they claimed planets and threw the organic life that once lived there to extinction so that they could grow their colonies, and thrive from the success that came from every bit of their hard work and dedication.

This powerful society was filled with creatures considered "Gems." Gems' forms are made of light with mass that is projected from, as one would correctly guess, from their gem. Gems are created from a magical substance that is infused with naturally created rocks, they are polished, cut, then sent into the ground to suck the planet dry of its organic life to obtain a powerful energy that lets the gem live. Gems are programmed with all the knowledge they need to honor the Diamonds as their rulers, and carry out the tasks they were grown to do.

One of these gem types, is Tourmaline. Tourmalines were one of the first gems ever made, and only four have ever existed. Each one made for their respective Diamond. These few gems were made to advise and keep the Diamonds focused. These were the only other types of gems the Diamond's had respect for. The Diamonds were fond of their companions that went with them everywhere and stood as highly respected beings. Their gems where shaped like stars with only four arms and the color corresponded with their court. These gems were extremely powerful, and radiated pride that gems respected and followed. These gems are given tasks to follow through with, and never disappoint.

Chapter 1

It was so quiet. The ride to Blue Diamond's ship was always quiet. There was never anything to speak of. Blue Diamond always wore her hood, Blue Pearl always stood off to the left side awkwardly. While Blue Tourmaline sat at her pedestal on Blue's right. Tapping away at a few monitors, doing one of her many tasks. They rose into the sky with a gentle ascent from a planet that glows with light as smaller gems scurry below, trying their best to please their Diamond. It was a simple visit to check on Blue Diamond's 7th colony. Make sure everything was in working order, check on progression of new gems in the kindergarten, speak with a few of the Elite gems that took residence there for any strange sightings. Blue Tourmaline heard the fingers of Blue Diamond's very large ship close around the Palanquin, and with a flash of light they were walking through one of the many corridors to Blue's personal quarters so that she could decompress.

Blue Tourmaline was a tall, slender gem. She had long flowing hair that cascaded down her back and almost represented a quartz' mane. Although much neater. She had deep midnight blue skin and icy blue iris' with pupils the shape of her gem. No one could see them due to the bangs that hung over her eyes like Blue Pearl's. She wore deep grey leggings that went down to a capris length. Along with a light blue long sleeved shirt that remained skin tight until her wrists, to where the soft fabric extended and flowed. Along with long ribbons that were knotted neatly and danced with the slightest flick of her wrist. Her shoes were white heeled boots with no laces or buckles the went up to where her capris seemed to end.

Pearl hurried to open the door for her Diamond. Tourmaline stepped aside as her Diamond walked in. She waited to see if she had approval to follow her into her most private sanctums as she had many times before.

Blue's voice slightly echoes as she utters, "Pearl. Close the door."

Blue Tourmaline didn't react. She wasn't allowed to display she was disappointed at the Diamond's shunning. She projected a holo-monitor and began typing as she walked away from her Diamond's quarters to her own. Her room was simple. A chair to work in, a few screens on the walls to display readings, and a bed for when she finished all her work, which was unfortunately rare. She read a few articles that were sent to her about occurrences in the past decade, when suddenly, her screen illuminated. Revealing an attempt to contact her from colony 15. She answered it.

"Yes?" Her tone was monotone. No feeling or emotion present. Her screen showed a group of three peridots. One of which, was Blue Diamond's most trusted.

"Your clarity… I am Peridot Facet-856F Cut-6GH. We are having a problem at the Kindergarten. The gems that are emerging are reacting ridiculous! We can barely hold them off! Can you please come and assist us!?"

Blue Tourmaline had a look of disgust on her face. "Why is it that you three capable gems and all of your extra supplied Jaspers unable to handle 400 newly emerged gems?"

Blue Tourmaline's tone made the peridot stutter and shake in fear at how she didn't even ask correctly and used a panicked tone to one of the most elite gems that ever faced the universe. "I-I-I-I'm sorry, I-Its just- "Blue Tourmaline interrupted impatiently, "Quit your stuttering and tell me why it's so important that you interrupt my work to help a very capable group of trained soldiers?"

Peridot squeaked, "Half of the soldiers have been shattered! These newly emerged Amethysts are going straight for the gem with their blows!" Blue Tourmaline frowned at this unfortunate information. She spoke again, "Fine. I'll be there as soon as possible." She stood and ended the call promptly. She left her quarters and called for her own pearl, which was only used when she wasn't with her Diamond. Her pearl summoned Tourmaline's mane ship, which was in the shape of a deep blue hand. Tourmaline sighed as she boarded and was taken to her very own control room. She rarely used the ship, so it was as spotless as it was when it was first built many eons ago.

The ship had a crew that was ready to get her to the destination desired. Happy to finally do something for the gem they were made to serve for. Even if Blue Diamond was their Diamond, they were made for driving Tourmaline's ship. She sighed as she sat in her own throne while her pearl, stood and was reading a few things for Tourmaline.

Her pearl was simple. It had her skin tone and hair color. Her hair was flowy and short. It curtained her face and her eyes barely showed. She wore a basic leotard that was grey and blue. Her gem was on her chest.

They felt the ship land softly on Blue's colony. Tourmaline hoped that her Diamond wouldn't call for her while she dealt with these defective Amethysts. Blue would shatter whoever called her there… It was considered criminal for one in her court to call to her most trusted companion for something like this. Even with how crazy the situation truly was.

Tourmaline stepped outside of the ship. 10 Jaspers and the Peridot that called her there were waiting for the arrival. Pearl stepped in front and spoke in a proud but serious tone, "I present, the grand Blue Tourmaline."

They all saluted and led her to the kindergarten. Gems spoke behind them of Tourmaline's presence without Blue Diamond. It was a very strange sight, Tourmaline was always at Blue's side. Waiting to help her solve a complicated issue in her court, advise her decisions, or comfort her in need. It's common knowledge that they were very close gems. Blue trusted her with all her colonies.

As they walked throughout the complex maze of spires and buildings that recurred throughout the colony, they finally made it to the kindergarten. They could hear clashing and yelling from so far away. Chaos must have ensued with all the noise.

The moment the group of gems had all set foot into the canyon the battle ceased as they all stared at the sight before them. Tourmaline stepped forward in front of every single gem. She raised an eyebrow at the strange amethysts. They appeared normal but the stood on all fours and had their teeth bared like ruthless animals. She'd never seen anything like this before and certainly didn't feel like stopping it herself.

Suddenly, one of the amethysts sprang to life. Running towards the group and seemed to be staring hungrily at the Tourmaline's gem. Before it could get remotely close her gem glowed and she summoned a whip that flared with freezing blue flame. She cracked the whip once. It struck the amethyst in the chest and its' form ceased.

Tourmaline suddenly spoke in her formal tone, that still had character. "Bubble the gem. I want this sent to the prime kindergarten on Colony 1 this instant. It must be examined to see the cause of this. Jaspers, Control these amethysts immediately." That was all she said.

The moment the Tourmaline stepped out the battle continued. Except that Jaspers sent to escort the elite were much more successful in containing them. They were escorted back by only the peridot. The walk was awkward and silent. The moment they got to the ship the peridot quickly said her farewells and she walked away as fast as her limb enhancements could carry her.

A/N: Ok so, I really hope you enjoyed it! I know it's short, but I want to see how this goes. If I get positive reviews I will continue and make longer chapters! By the way, I'm not an author that just abandons stories. I will update as frequently as possible.
