Chapter One: Plotting
Iolite panicked, her hands shaking frantically.
She grabbed onto the nearest falling rock and closed her eyes as she fell to the floor with a swift plop!, scrambling onto her feet when she landed.
Her gloves, which almost reached her elbows, had ripped, and her gem had cracked a bit.
She conjured an illusion of the Diamond Spire in an attempt to keep Homeworld Gems from panicking.
But one thing has changed.
As the most powerful Gem alive, she had rights.
She was the Queen of Homeworld.
The Crystal Temple, 9:48 A.M – Friday, Nov. 3
Steven woke up.
It had been a week since Yellow Diamond had been bubbled.
It was a happy week, too.
Connie had come over at least three times because she heard of the whole thing from Steven.
Word was that Iolite had been there during the fight, but she was either invisible or conjured an illusion shield.
Malachite knew she was there. He didn't want anyone to panic because, if they did, they'd unfuse, and it would take forever to take down Yellow Diamond if they couldn't fuse.
And had Iolite noticed Tourmaline's gem falling to the ground if she hadn't escaped in time?
She'd probably brainwash her.
And then, they'd be fighting an old friend.
One who has no idea what she's doing.
