A red toned gem growls in anger as she looked around the room, seeing her fellow rubies sparing with one another. She understood that rubies were soldiers, they were fiery gems that refused to give up and always fought even if their gems got cracked they always got back up.
But why were they wasting their time with some desertor gems that wanted to stay on that planet and protect it along with the 'human' that inhabited the blue planet?
The red gem narrows her fiery red eyes as she watched her sparring partner fall to her knees clutching her side in agony from where Ruby had slammed her maroon colored glove into the other gem's side brutally over and over again.
She watched as the gem retreated into her gem, she must of broke her ribs.
With a sigh she allows her glove to vanish as she looked over at her commander, who was nodding in approval at her.
She snorts, knowing full well her commander consider her the strongest of the rubies but also knew that she was more easily angered which usually resulted in her becoming, literally, a flame pacing back and forth as she muttered under her breath angrily until she eventually burnt herself out.
Ruby snorts as her commander dismisses all of them, except her, to go back to their homes to rest.
Leaning against the wall, she watched her comrades slowly file out of the room chatting amongst themselves about things she did not even bother to listen to, she knew that some of them were going to be sent as a scouting to see if they could determine which part of Rose Quartz army was the weakest and what strategy they would use to attack.
With folded arms Ruby just stares down at her shoes, listening to the sounds of foot steps slowly grow quieter and quieter until the room was completely silent, only than does her bright red eyes look up at her commander.
Her commander was a bright red beryl gem, a gem that was higher than her in ranks but lower than the Diamonds.
Her commander only let few call her by her name, which was Berry. Ruby was one of them since they had become close friends since she started training, becoming an even stronger fighter.
Berry offers Ruby a light smile, "Do you know why I asked you to stay behind?"
The shorter red gem watched her commander closely, pushing her lips into a thin line "You want me go to Earth don't you."
It was more of a statement than a question, since she usually knew what her friend wanted from her most of the time but she was completely caught off guard at what her friend was about to say to her.
Berry laughed loudly as her red toned hand slapped onto her short friend's back, causing the ruby to cough out the unneeded air from her lungs, "OH! My dear friend, I don't want you to JUST go to Earth, I want you to be a spy and join the Crystal Gems!"
Ruby sighs as she agrees, unknown to either of them, this would change the outcome of the war as well as the lives of a certain blue gem named Sapphire.
