This is where we get into the meat of the story and some of the non-con material (nothing terribly descriptive).

Topaz

You've been selected.

It was the first time she'd ever heard those words since being approved for the breeding experiments. She could hardly contain her excitement, but no matter how she felt on the inside, she had to keep it together on the outside as she followed the technician to the medical area. She could only imagine the gemlings that would come of this. She thought of how it would feel to carry the eggs inside of her; how she wanted to be there when the geodes hatched. Maybe they'd split her and she'd have the gemlings with herself…oh, she could only hope.

She was lead to the medical area and ushered into a private room. The peridot technician began arranging vials and needles on a tray. "This won't hurt much."

Someone in a nearby room was screaming, which didn't put Topaz at ease. "Shouldn't I get undressed? You have to get the eggs ready, don't you?"

The technician made a screen appear with her floating fingers and double checked the information. "No, you're the sire in this coupling." She could see Topaz was a little let down. "Don't worry – that means you have the easy job. You're bigger anyway, so of course it would be that way."

"I've never done this before…" Not sex, no, she'd done that – mostly with herself.

"It's a simple combination of shape shifting and hormones. The first injection is the hormones that will put you in a state of heat within a couple of hours, the second to allow your shape shifting cells to form the necessary parts and the third to ensure you produce a good amount of seed." She administered the first injection.

"And my partner…who is she?"

"You'll find out in good time."

"Why don't you give that information?"

The technician's finger tapped against the second syringe coaxing the bubbles to the top. "Because if you know them, or don't like them, you won't back out. By the time you go in and see her, you'll be so riled up that just the scent of her will have you two mating before you can think." She poked the needle into Topaz's arm. "Just remember this is for Yellow Diamond and the Diamond Authority. We need more soldiers and we can't grow them like we used to."

Thousands of years ago, breeding was common, happening naturally, but when Homeworld had success making quality gems from the sediment of planetary colonies, they outlawed breeding and even sex in general, though it still happened especially with the older gems. Some gems were forbidden from love even, like lowly peridots and pearls – and it was frowned upon even for gems of other castes too. As she felt the third injection go in, Topaz wondered if the Era Two gems even had the necessary parts for sex or breeding.

"That's it. We'll have you wait here for the time being and whatever you do, don't touch yourself. If it becomes an issue, let us know and we'll restrain you."

How intense was this heat going to be? Sure, she'd been horny before but if it happened at an inopportune time, she could control it. This sounded like it would be animalistic and overpowering. Would they remember it? Would it hurt her partner? Would she even care at that point? The technician had her phase her uniform off and cover up with a gown. Topaz already felt the changes going on in her body starting with finding the technician slightly more beautiful than before and a definite bulge forming between her legs. "If this succeeds can you at least tell me what my gemlings will be?"

"If we're correct with this pairing, we'll get tiger's eye."

Topaz raised an eyebrow. Her partner was not another topaz. So, fusion between different types of gems was forbidden, but not mating? That made very little sense, but whoever her partner was, part of her was longing for her already. The technician left and a different one came back, holding something out to Topaz. It was a lock of hair – pale and soft. As if something else was controlling her, Topaz held it under her nose and inhaled deeply. She could smell the other gem's pheromones…she smelled red dirt and sandstone…

The technician cut a small lock of Topaz's hair and disappeared again.

She ran her fingers along the lock of hair. Hopefully the gemlings would have their carrier's hair. She imagined what it must look like and the bulge below grew larger taking form as a penis she'd only have temporarily for a few hours. Her hands shook; she twisted the hair around her finger. How long had it been since the injections? Half an hour? An hour? She could feel change taking place not only in her body but her mind. All her thoughts were of this gem she hadn't even seen. She sniffed the hair again. She could practically feel the hormones raging through her making her feel like she'd go mad if she didn't see this gem…touch her…

This WAS mad…she didn't even KNOW this gem. How could she be having these feelings only having a lock of her hair? How was this normal? It wasn't. She loved herself…but this wasn't about love. It was about the exchange of genetic material. The testicles she had shapeshifted felt heavy and her penis was getting hard. Damn it…it was going to be hard not to touch it and determined not to mess up all their hard work, she asked the technician to restrain her. Soft cuffs were placed around her wrists so her hands were behind her back. What had she been told? Two hours? She kept her eyes on the screen with the timer on it. She shifted, which didn't help as the gown she wore rubbed against her tip. She groaned.

"Soon, don't worry," the peridot said.

Damn it…she'd even fuck the technician at this point. She was still holding the lock of hair and rubbed it between her fingers. Soon…

Finally, when she felt like she might not be able to calm the burning feeling in her any longer, another technician entered and said: "She's ready."

Topaz was lead to the next room…the room she'd heard the screaming from. The door was opened before the technician undid Topaz's restraints and allowed her to enter. The other gem was laying on a table with her knees bent, draped with a sheet, so Topaz couldn't see her clearly. She took off her gown after she heard the closing of the door. She knew she had only a few moments of clarity in her mind before the hormones completely took over. She took a deep breath, noticing immediately something was off. The other gem was restrained – hands cuffed to the table and legs immobilized in that position. Topaz's breath caught in her throat. This wasn't right at all; this gem was a prisoner and likely had not agreed to this.

But…this was for the Diamond Authority…for her Diamond…and the hormones were making her unable to resist temptation. She approached the table and slowly removed the sheet. Stars, she was beautiful. Topaz climbed easily onto the table, on top of her. Don't look her in the eyes, she told herself. Just do it and be done with it.

Topaz allowed her hand to run through the other gem's mane of hair and she leaned in close hanging on to her mind by only threads at this point. She shuddered as she bent in close and got a whiff of that hair as she did so. She could feel the other gem's body trembling with fear. "Forgive me," she whispered. "I'm only following orders."

Her muscles stiffened and she needed this…wanted it…NOW! She couldn't hold off any longer. Don't look in her eyes.

But she did…just before the hormones enslaved her and she began an act she knew she'd regret…she looked up right into the terrified eyes of Yellow Diamond's highest general.

It had lasted an hour and she'd spent time after in shock at what she'd done. She knew she had hurt the other gem. She knew she had…she'd had little control even though she'd tried. Topaz had wanted to free her of her restraints, but she was afraid of the other gem's reaction. Even as the hormones took hold of her in an overpowering way, somewhere in the back of her mind, she knew this was all wrong. This should not be happening…to either of them. Breeding was supposed to be mutual. Both partners were supposed to agree to it. When it was over, Topaz had placed a gentle kiss on her partner's lips and whispered into her hair. "I'm sorry…I'm sorry…"

Topaz could tell herself all she wanted that she had no control over her actions, but maybe if she'd been stronger-willed she could have fought the spell the injections put her under. The feeling had waned but was still there and would be – along with her temporary parts – for a few more hours. She'd been instructed not to mate with any other gems at the risk of having gemlings that were defective.

And Topaz had wanted gemlings, but not like this. She'd wanted to be a carrier – to feel life growing inside her. Even being a sire she didn't think it would feel like that. Whatever they'd injected her with had turned her into a monster – it had made her hurt someone else…someone she knew…

Well, she honestly couldn't say she really knew her. They'd sat in the same room during strategy meetings, trained together, fought alongside each other, but the general was hardly chatty and they likely hadn't exchanged more than ten words to each other. She was strength and smarts; brawn and beauty. With her commanding presence, she should have been a sire for a weaker gem. So why had she been reduced to being a carrier?

Because she had done something, Topaz realized. Something that angered Yellow Diamond. And if Topaz hadn't followed through with this, she would have come under her Diamond's anger as well. How could her Diamond do this? How could she sentence someone to this kind of punishment?

That's a dangerous thought pattern, Topaz told herself. She could not question her Diamond; her Diamond was reasonable and whatever the general had done…well, she must've deserved it. Besides, it was not Yellow Diamond who had tied anyone up, had injected them with serums, had made Topaz do the unthinkable. No…it was the technicians who worked under her. The lowly technicians that Topaz would not get in trouble for hurting…the technicians she could take her anger out on without fear of retaliation from those higher up.

The peridots.

No one would care if one disappeared for a while…or permanently. And it did not matter if that particular one was involved in this or not. They randomly selected breeders…why not randomly select one of them for 'punishment'? It would send a message to the rest of them that, doing their job or not, hurting other gems was never okay.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw one ducking into a room and sliding the door closed. Topaz stood outside the door for a moment listening for sounds, but the only ones she heard were electronic, likely from a computer. She pressed her hand against the door pad gaining access to the room.

The peridot looked over at her in surprise as though it was unusual for her to be there. Well, it was, but this one was eyeing her a little too suspiciously. Topaz made sure the door was shut and punched in the code to lock it. Was she really going to do this? Then she remembered what she had been made to do under the influence of the serum…of the hormones still in her…administered by peridots. Yes, she was going to do this. She marched up to the smaller gem and grabbed her by the neck, shoving her against a wall. "You think you can play with others like toys? Use your science to make us do what you want? What the Diamonds want?"

"I-I don't know…" her nasal voice was strained; the floating fingers of her limb enhancers grabbed Topaz's wrist but the larger gem was too strong.

"Well, now I'm going to do what I want! Now you're going to feel what it's like to have no control!" Topaz dropped the green gem unceremoniously on the floor, her limb enhancers clanging. She gave her a swift kick to the chest.

"Please, I'm not…"

"Shut up! Disarm your defenses now!"

The technician pressed a few buttons on her limb enhancers so she no longer could put up much of a fight. "L-listen, we can talk about this…we can be logical about th-this."

Topaz picked her up again, holding her against the wall with a hand to her chest. "Is it logical to breed two gems against their will?"

"I'm not part of the breeding program. I'm a kindergartener."

"You are just like them."

"I am not! Now put me down you thick-headed clod!"

Topaz pressed against her harder. It would be easy to crush her chest…poof her. She focused on the gem in the peridot's forehead. "You do exactly as I say, or I'll shatter you."

She felt between the small gem's legs but found nothing. Just as she had suspected – Era Two gems were not even made with those parts. "You can't shape shift, can you?"

"Of course not. What kind of moronic question is that?"

She hit the green gem across the face. "You have quite a mouth on you, don't you?" Then she focused on it and traced those soft lips with her thumb. "You have a mouth."

Topaz pushed the peridot to the floor in a kneeling position and undid her pants. Yep, it was still there and looking into the small gem's fearful eyes only reminded her of what they'd made her do. She grabbed the technician by her pale yellow hair and forced herself inside that mouth. "You bite me and you're shattered, got it?"

She received a nod in response before pounding herself in that wet chasm…bumping against the soft back of the peridot's throat, feeling that tongue against her. Topaz seized either side of the other gem's head. It would be easy to crush it, to poof her…to shatter her. Maybe she would afterwards. Topaz grunted enjoying the feeling, both of dominance and of her tip grazing that soft, wet tissue. It wasn't long before she moved the peridot's head faster, ignoring her noises of protest and finally released. She shoved the ruined gem away leaving her coughing and gagging on the floor. "How does it feel?"

Before she could answer, there was a loud banging on the door, and then another that broke the door from its place and caused it to crash to the floor. Topaz took a step back as the gem before her surveyed the scene putting together what had happened. "What? I wasn't enough?"

She was staring into the rage-filled eyes of Yellow Diamond's general.
