Authors Note: Before I start, I just want to make people aware that I will be posting chapters infrequently but I will try to aim for each weekend. ~Azure

Homeworld. A gleaming metropolis created in the massive expanse of space, for the survival of Gems and its economy. The size of Homeworld is colossal, even rivalling the size of our very own star, the Sun. It isn't planet shaped, it wasn't formed like Earth. Homeworld is much more organised than Earth, almost perfect. Homeworld is split into different sections which is dictated by a different leader- like Earth, but different in a way. Since Gems don't eat or need to sleep, this planet is a burst of activity. At the moment, there is no way to classify which section of Homeworld is where, so Gems have used the colour of the ground to determine where they are.

However, this perfect paradise is not so perfect as you would've thought, because, just like humans, Gems have different sets of ethics. This caused a great war, gems were getting smashed because they heard about the plans to create artificial gems. The Kindergarten, they'd named it. In the Blue Section, where most of Homeworlds ships were being created, a group of rebels had managed to break from Homeworld's security.

"Rose! Watch out!"

The familliar shrill voice she'd heard so many times now alerted her that something was coming- fast. She readied her sword and shield prepared to defend the small amount of Gems that would leave Homeworld. A orange figure appeared through the smoke from the hangar. Jasper. "You have no place here, if you rebel here on homeworld. Afraid I can't let you leave, you already know too much about the project." Rose flinches. Pearl speaks out. "That Homeworld 'project' is inhumane! You can't set what a Gem looks like before they even come into existence!" She draws her spear and gets into a fighting stance. "Rose, go! Take the other Gems with you and don't look back!" Rose nodded in understanding. She knew Pearl had a plan and ran off to the ship.

Jasper ran headfirst into Pearl, taking her by surprise. Pearl only just managed to escape the force of being crushed into the hangar wall. The ship started taking off. Pearl flipped onto Jasper's back, still wielding her spear and stabbing Jasper clear in the back of the chest. It wasn't enough to make her retreat into her gem, she'd survived worse than that.

Pearl made 'the face' like she always makes when she knows she did something right. You know the one. Jasper growls and she attempts to charge at the already leaving ship. Pearl blocks her with her spear. "Focus, keep your eyes on me. I'm the one you need to worry about." Pearl was speaking with Jasper, taunting her. "Shut up and fight, gem!" She was worrying now; she didn't want to upset the Homeworld Authority. She summoned her helmet and turned around to face Pearl. "Let's finish this then." Pearl said, still taunting.

Rose sighed, she'd froze up again after hearing about the Kindergarten. She decided to check who was on the ship. She clicked a button which set the spaceship to autopilot and went to the main area of the ship. There was.. A very young pair of Gems that were coloured red and blue, a purple gem, and another blue gem. Minus Pearl. Her hair was in the way of her face, she brushed it away and turned to face one of the blue gems. "Everyone here, listen to me. We are on this ship for a reason: be it fate or accident, and now we flee from the place we grew up. We will trek through the unknown and beat the Homeworld to sense!" The blue gem called out: "And how are we going to prepare for the second part of the war?" Her answer was simple, needed no further explanation, and resonated through the entire ship.

"Earth."
