ENJOY! -ShadowFighter2

Homeworld was an impressive place to live, there was no doubt about it, but it could also be quite boring, especially when you were just a soldier, a pawn in a game of chess played by the terrifying ruler Yellow Diamond.

An orange gem sighed as he sat in front of a desk and filled out some boring paperwork that was long overdue.

"Homeworld is sooo boring" he groaned, running his hands through his spikey black hair.

"I know, right, there's nothing to do here" replied a green gem.

"Chrome Diopside. you are needed in the technician's lab" announced a Hematite.

"See ya, Zircon" yelled Chrome as he ran from the room.

"Yeah, bye" muttered Zircon as he continued with his papers.

Zzz…

"Zircon please report to Yellow Diamonds office immediately!" screamed the intercom loudly, causing Zircon to jolt out of his semi-stupor and fall backwards off his chair.

"Seriously?! Why? Ow!"

[YD's office]

"Your majesty!" said Zircon while bowing in front of the great leader of the Diamond Authority, conquer of worlds and — blah blah —just call her Yellow Diamond. "Zircon, I have a mission of utmost importance for you, so listen closely."

"Umm…okay hit me."

"It's kind of personal, so don't tell anyone, and if you, you will be publicly executed, got that?"

"Don't worry, nothing can face me."

"I need you to go to and retrieve Peridot. Not Jasper not Lapis, just Peridot."

"Why, don't you care about Jasper more than Peridot?"

"No! Peridot is extremely vital!"

"Why?"

"Because Peridot is my gemling."

Zircon's POV

Zircon felt like had just been hit on the head with a ten-pound club. Peridot… Yellow Diamonds gemling! Peridot and royalty were two words that did not go together!

"I know you must be shocked, but it's the truth" said Yellow Diamond coldly.

"But, but Peridot is so nerdy and, and she just doesn't seem like royalty" he said, grasping for words.

Sighing, she murmured "since you already know this much, I might as well tell you everything."

"Only me, Peridot, my sisters, and now you know. The whole nerdiness was just an act so no one would guess."

"Okay one question: where is Peridot? You told me I have to get her but where is she?"

"On earth."

(Flashback, Gem War) Zircon's POV

"Hey, Zircon check this out!" yelled Citrine over the roar of the battle. He back-flipped over a Crystal Gem and stabbed her in the gut, the rebel poofed and Citrine stomped on her Gem, crushing it to dust. "Nice, these Gems are so easy to beat, I mean come on, are they even trying?"

"I know, right!" I exclaimed.

Citrine ran towards an oncoming rebel and attempted to stab him, but the gem was too fast and slammed him into the ground. Citrine growled and tried to stand, but the other gem swiftly brought down his leg onto Citrine's midriff. I ran to him, but he roared "Leave me, this is my battle!"

The rebel gem grinned and said: "We're so easy to beat, huh?" and brought down his fist onto Citrine's gem, shattering it instantly.

Every muscle in my body froze as my brain replayed the scene again and again and again. Suddenly I just snapped, every part of my body told me to kill that rebel, to break him. All I felt was pure hatred.

"DIE!" I screamed before charging at him with my longsword, not noticing when he punched me; the only thing I felt was anger. Grabbing his hand as he punched again, I twisted it until I heard a crack. Smiling, I stabbed his gem with all the force I could. I felt his gem reduce into splinters, and I said: "Yes, you are easy to beat!"
