A Horror Reborn
Ever since the war on Earth, Homeworld had tried everything in their power to reclaim Earth. The great Yellow Diamond would stop at nothing to either claim the world or destroy it. Mean while Blue Diamond calmed and inspired the gems under the Diamond Authority, ensuring that Earth would fall like the other worlds.
But White Diamond had been distant ever since the Cluster failed to destroy Earth. She'd been acting as if she could sense something dangerous, and I would be lying if I said I couldn't sense it as well. This feeling is something I hadn't sensed since Homeworld's greatest era. The era that forged the gem empire's greatness, signifying an event catastrophic if woken again. If my senses are right, then the once illustrious Diamonds could now be Homeworld's downfall.
-on Earth-
On a bright day, the Crystal Gems had gathered to celebrate the defeat of Jasper, as well as the Ruby squadron. Steven thought that the Crystal gems needed time to relax after such a bumpy few months, but little did they know that more trouble was right around the corner.
"Hey Steven! Over here!" Connie said, waving her hands in the air To catch the Frisbee Steven had thrown. As Steven tossed the Frisbee over to her though Amethyst intercepted it, her canine form easily catching the disk.
"Hey… No fair Amethyst!" Connie said jokingly, while Amethyst did a little dance in dog form as celebration of her victory.
"Well surprises do make everything better Connie." Steven said as Amethyst changed back to her normal form.
"Yea. Plus- You're both training to be warriors, you hafta' be ready for anything!" Amethyst said in a slightly condescending manner, not caring for all the training, "But we haven't seen head or tail of Homeworld, so I think they're just realizing how awesome we are~." While she was posing in confidence however, the light of a warp pad was seen in the distance.
"What was that?" Pearl said, looking towards Garnet with a worried expression.
"I'm not sure, but we should go check." Garnet replied, getting up.
When they arrived at the warp in location they saw a gem unlike anything they had seen before. The strange figure stood with a straight back as he fixed his visor. The strange figure looked in their direction, but despite the Crystal Gem's attempts at hiding, the gem still moved toward them.
"I can sense you." The figure said, just before the Crystal gems attempted to attack him. But they soon found themselves caught in a blue toned bubble. "So, you're the gems assigned to me? I understand that Yellow Diamond gets a kick out of scarring me but this is… peculiar. " He looked at the bubbled gems with a raised brow " Though with a more diverse team I might not be bashing my head into a wall. Usually I get stuck with a crowd of Rubies or a Quartz soldier." The tall gem unbubbled the Crystal Gems, unaware that they were rebels.
"Uh- Riiight." Amethyst winked at the others before stepping forward, " So, Boss, what-"
Before Amethyst could continue, the taller gem held up his hand in a stop motion. "Please- Just- Don't call me that… I'm… not uncomfortable with it. Just call me what I am- Topaz."
Pearl stepped forward "But… That can't be… You're too tall for a Topaz, and you're stature is wrong."
Pearl's interjection left Topaz with an expression of annoyance, "Oh really? I'm sorry I'm not perfect and symmetrical." Topaz' response to Pearl made her frown at him, as he continued to walk by them. "I hate titles like that. They make cringe at the idea I'm believed gem to be someone's superior."
He began looking around, "…Where's your ship?"
