A/N: Hey guys! This is basically a side-story following a new Gem. I hope to bring this Gem into the main plot, but for now, they'll have their own little storyline. Hopefully this makes up for the lack of chapters recently. Well, anyways, enjoy!

Chapter One: The Raid

The exact time was unknown, but sometime around midday for those on Earth, a special Gem had emerged. This Gem, whose name shall remain unknown for now (for certain reasons), would go on to change their fate – and the fate of those around them. This Gem was the only one (of its kind) created.

"Shh..."

The Gem put a finger to their mouth, shushing the Amethyst soldiers accompanying them. "They're close by. Citrine, confirm the location."

Citrine's gem started to glow. "Location Identified. Scanning..."

There was a beeping sound. "Location Confirmed. List of Gems Nearby Loading..."

There was a slight pause.

"Amethyst x10 Identified. Citrine x10 Identified. Ruby x3 Identified. Black Opal x2 Identified. Cavansite x1 Identified."

"Initiate Shut Off Order."

"Shutting Off..."

The Citrine poofed. The Gem put it in a bubble, dismissing it.

"Amethyst 8XJ, lead them in. Pretend that all of you are Amethyst scouts sent out to check the area. Cavansite's stupid; she'll never find out."

"Right!"

The Amethysts just casually strolled into the cave. There were other Amethysts huddled around a campfire. Quite a few Citrines sat in a corner together, many staring down at chunks of wood. Three Rubies guarded two Black Opals, who were standing near one Gem. That Gem was looking at a monitor, trying to get in touch with a Diamond.

"Stupid Earth tech! Why can't they just send more modern technology?! Ugh!"

"Uh... hey." The Amethyst sent in by the other Gem spoke. Everyone turned to her.

"We're back from, the, uh... Scout... Mission."

"It's about time! You Amethysts took too long! I'm applying for Jaspers next time!"

The Gem turned back to the monitor. "I don't care if the perfect one's reserved, I just need Jaspers..."

The Amethyst summoned a whip, lashing at another Amethyst. Another Amethyst on the ally side poofed a Citrine.

Nine Amethysts, nine Citrines.

The Gem at the monitor – Cavansite – turned around, glaring at the Amethysts and Citrines. "Fuse, you clods! Don't let them out with their sorry gems shining!"

The nine Amethysts and nine Citrines fused, creating nine Ametrines. They all summoned whips, but some summoned the chunks of wood their other halves were holding. The ones with these created maces.

The other Gem – the leader of the ally Amethysts – ran in quickly, slashing their ax at the Ametrines. The Rubies had fused as well – these were quickly disposed of by the Amethysts. Cavansite huddled in the corner.

"I'm reporting you to the Diamonds!"

She then realized that to file a report she'd need names. She raised an eyebrow. "...What's your name?"

The Gem smiled. "Paraiba Tourmaline."

Paraiba raised the sword above her head, bringing it down hard onto her gem, poofing her upon contact.

Paraiba put the gem in a bubble quickly. "Good job, Amethysts... Crud."

All that was left was rubble, a fire pit full of ashes, Gem shards, and a monitor that successfully linked to the Diamond line.

A voice echoed throughout what was left of the cave.

"Cavansite, give us your report."
