The rowan-like gem crossed her arms. "How dare you speak to me that way?" She ranted on, but the other Gem didn't seem to be listening to a word she was saying. The gem she had proudly captured herself, Carnelian simply sat with her back turned. The Gems' attire was ripped and dirty, but she didn't seem to care. Her outfit consisted of a white and peach-like color along with some tiny accents of a deeper shade of orange. A large star had been etched into a large section of the baggy tank top she was wearing, the rest of it obviously being white. Her hair was messy, and she had a large portion of light orange bangs, the rest of it forming a tiny point on her neck. Her Gem shifted oddly, seeming to twist awkwardly. She was also wearing dark orange shorts and tiny white sneakers. It it only took Onyx a few minutes to realize she was staring, and a deep shade of orange colored her cheeks. She leaned forward, checking for signs of Peridot of Jasper. "I would like an explanation. Why are you being so uncooperative and... Venomous?" Carnelian turned around, a scowl appearing on her face. "Do you even know how it would feel, to get snatched away from your home and your friends? How it would feel to have your life ripped away in one single action? All of those important memories... Wiped clean away? I hate this place. I just want to get back the Earth. I don't want to get shattered at the place I hate. I'd rather die on Earth than at Homeworld." Onyx blinked in surprise. She suddenly felt bad, to have just... Taken her like an object. "I... I can get you back." The other Gems' expression softened, but then retorted back into anger. "Why? So you can kill me on Earth? Go ahead." She growled. "No. I'm sorry that you miss your home, but you can't just be rude at anyone that tries to help- including me." The gem sighed. "Fine.. I guess I'll trust you." Onyx pulled out the tool given to her, temporarily disabling the field. "Come on, before anyone sees us." Carnelian's eyes widened. "How are we going to leave the ship?" Onyx never actually planned this. "We'll use an... Um... An escape pod." Carnelian rolled her eyes. "And how, exactly, so you expect us to do that?" She sighed. "Uh..." She started, but she heard the pounding of footsteps that could only belong to one person- Jasper. "By running!" She exclaimed. They ran through the twisting hallways, until they reached the hall where pods were all lined up in case there was an emergency, but that was very unlikely. They darted into the first one and Onyx pressed a button. "Go.. Go, go, go!" She yelped. As soon as she pressed the button once more, the pod ejected from the ship and floated away. "Now we'll go to Earth..." She murmured. The orange gem looked over at her, saying softly, "Thank you... For helping me." Onyx nodded half-heartedly, mostly focusing on staying on the path she had thought up in her mind to use to get to Earth. "Y-yeah... No problem," The Gem said.
