Hey guys its been a while since I've attempted to write a story and I apologize in advance for any grammar mistakes I make.
The dark is something that all things fear, it hides the most dangerous of creatures and horrors that render all who witness it to nothing but a jabbering madman. Yet when one is forced to live in it you stop trying to make reason of what the noises you hear, the voices that whisper in your ear and the pain that the creatures induce.
Hanging in a room by shackled hands was a young man with black hair that reached past his thighs and was covered in a black substance and dirt, his eyes were covered by a yellow rag with a single black eye and on his face was a smile that stretched from ear to ear, his body was left bare revealing a muscled body covered in filth. He could hear them coming, steps echoed across the otherwise silent room. The room seem to come alive at the sound, moving like a being alive and yet the young man made no movement if anything his smile only grew.
It was time.
A door opened parallel to where he hung, the first to step in was a massive figure standing at a good 10 feet tall her body was covered in muscle, long white hair cascaded down her past her waist and her orange skin became apparent against the harsh light, orange eyes stared down the prisoner like the predator she was a feral smile was plastered on her face, the most peculiar thing about her was instead of a nose she had a orange gem a jasper to be exact. The second figure was shorter then the first first by a good 3 feet her yellow hair was shaped in a triangle and her green eyes were covered by a yellow visor matching that of her green skin, her body was much more lithe then the first with the addition of metal boots and gloves and in the center of her forehead she had a green peridot.
"Jasper. Peridot." the man spoke his voice was smooth and calming in contrast to the disturbing smile on his viasge, the two now named Jasper and Peridot approached him, Jasper approached him before she reeled her arm back and delivered a powerful blow to his exposed stomach. the male only let out a grunt that sounded closer to pleasure then pain, "Mark," she said as she reeled her arm back once more to strike again, "Jasper!" Peridot said causing her to stop "What is it Peridot?" Jasper said as she turned to look at Peridot causing her to flinch "Don't forget why we're here," Peridot said reluctantly in fear of turning Jasper's ferocity onto her. Jasper seemed reluctant before stepping back allowing Peridot to speak to Mark.
Despite having his eyes covered he could hear Peridot approaching her metallic steps getting closer, he said nothing as he stared into her eyes, he could feel it she was scared. That fear was justified considering who she was standing in front of, Mark sensing that fear and hesitation acted upon it "What's the matter peri?" he said leaning his head forward and for just a moment Peridot could have sworn she saw something moving behind that rag, ignoring the feeling of dread she steeled her nerves before continuing forward "Under the order of the diamond order you are to be brought to yellow diamond immediately," Jasper took that que to step forward and lifting Mark by his throat and threw him toward the ground breaking the chain that kept him suspended although the cuffs around his wrist .
Mark stood on shaky legs revealing he was roughly 6'4 standing shorter then both gems. He had a second to react before he was roughly shoved forward by Jasper, he stumbled forward before regaining his composure and started to take wobbly steps toward the door with Peridot leading and Jasper following just in case he decided to make a move to escape. Mark knew of his situation the voices had warned him of what was to come the reason as to why yellow diamond still needed him and why she hadn't killed him already, so making a decision he put his plan in action.
"Jasper," he said his smile never leaving his face, Jasper narrowed his eyes before roughly shoving him into one the crystal like walls of the hallway that lead to the courts of the diamond authority. Jasper stood in front of Mark her form towered over his yet he showed no fear and that annoying smile of his was still plastered on his face "What?" she asked though it sounded more like demanded. Moving decisively he grabbed the front of her uniform and brought her down to his height smashing his lips against hers, they were surprisingly soft he realized, her eyes widened as was her surprise and because of that moment of pause she failed to see the knee coming until it was too late.
The force behind the blow wasn't enough to do any real damage but was more then enough to stagger her, Mark quickly swept her feet from underneath her and bolted down the hall from which they came. He didn't dare turn around knowing that Jasper would recover quickly, Peridot herself wasn't much of fighter so he didn't worry about her attempting to take him down herself. He made it to the end of the hall before he heard a yell that was more reminiscent of a roar, Jasper had recovered and she was anything but happy.
The rag around his eyes did little to hinder his sense of direction as he swiftly weaved through the halls in a attempt to find a way to escape, thunderous footsteps grew louder and as much as he hated to admit it he had no idea how to get out. Thinking on his feet he entered a room that was to his left before quickly closing the door, the steps only grew louder before they passed by and quickly started to fade away. Releasing a sigh Mark slumped against the door taking a moment to recover, he let out a small moan as a wave of pain shot over his body.
Taking a moment to examine the room he was in and noticed that there were pods that littered the room but then the real problem made itself known, "Oh my!/Who are you?" Mark's head shot up at the voices and notice that there was two more figures in the room other then himself. The two figures looked as if they could have been related they looked exactly alike the only difference being the color of their skin and their hair. He knew exactly who these two were yellow and blue pearl assistants to the diamonds of their respective color, Marks smiled as a plan ran through his head if he allowed the two to leave they would inform the diamond order and there would be no chance of him escaping on the other hand if he went through with his plan in his current state there was a chance that he wouldn't live to escape.
Mark started to laugh hysterically causing the two gems to step back, 'if I live, this will be a big old fuck you to the diamonds,' slowly reaching up with his shackled hands the chains rattling ominously as the room suddenly darkened, and in that darkness, the two pearls moved together listening closely for the unknown intruder. What they failed to realize was that in that room was something far more dangerous then what they thought.
Had anyone been outside of the room they would have heard two screams of horror followed by silence and the sound of a pod being activated, it's current path.
Earth.
