The flight to earth was quite at first, everyone was expecting that they would be followed and killed but nothing, one they were far enough away they as calmed down a little. "So, why are we all here" Tiger's Eye says, only to be answered with silence "Well I'm here because I was never allowed freedom, back there, I was forced into this strict schedule, not that I followed it anyway, but on earth I can do whatever I want". There was more silence for a few seconds before Aquamarine then spoke up "I'm coming to earth to get away from it all, the diamonds I mean, plus I want to see the planet that managed to fend away the homeworld control". Bloodstone was next, "I just don't feel I belong, simple as". "Well I disagree with homeworld and how they deal with things, It's just not right" Diopside says, giving Diamond a quick glance as she does so. Then emerald speaks up "I was afraid that they would kill me one day", everyone knew what she meant when she said they, some glancing at diamond quickly. "Well I left because I hated it, all of it, the Diamond authority, the lack of freedom, everything, and I knew I couldn't be the only one who felt that way, so that's why I organized this escape, to get away and help others not able to get an escape pod also flee". Everyone nodded upon hearing this, a few even cracking a smile. Aquamarine then checked there position, "We're going to enter earths atmosphere very soon, so be ready and strap in" she said. Everyone went to one of the many seats on the walls of the pod and strap themselves in, preparing for impact.
"I still can't believe you convinced garnet to let Soren stay here, I mean he just appeared one day, he could be a homeworld spy or an assassin. We have no reason to trust him" Pearl says to Amethyst. Steven, Garnet and Soren were all away on a tour of beach city for Soren. "Chill out pearl, he's really cool, plus I trust him" Amethyst says. "I'm with pearl on this one, have you forgotten I called Yellow diamond a clod, she could have sent him to get me" Peridot says, fear obvious in her voice. Amethyst just gives them a dismissive wave and leans back on her chair "You worry too much p-dot" Amethyst says. Peridot blushes slightly at the name, "I told you don't call me that". Just then they hear a crash and feel a vibration from the ground, causing amethysts chair to fall "What was that" she says, getting up from the ground". "I think it came from outside" Pearl replies. They all run outside and see a black smoking object half buried in sand. "What is that?"Pearl says, she then see's peridot looking incredibly nervous, "It's an escape pod, that's it, there finally after me" Peridot says, cowering behind pearl. The pod then opens, the crystal gems then summon their respective weapons.
The homeworld gems exit, the first 2 being diopside and bloodstone, who summon there weapons upon seeing the crystal gems with their summoned weapons. "There's no need for that" Says Diamond as she walks calmly towards the armed crystal gems. Both homeworld gems then retreat there weapons, albeit hesitantly, "So, your part of the famous crystal gems, we are a group of gems from homeworld who have ran from homeworld for various reasons, we would be honored to fight alongside your army for defending earth" She says with a bow, "speaking of which, where is the rest of the army?". Pearl and Amethyst both retreat their weapons and look at each other for a second before amethyst bursts out laughing and pearl looks embarrassed, a slight blush on her face. Peridot then takes that moment to come out from behind pearl, "I fear you have made a terrible misjudgement fellow gems, there is no army in the crystal gems, there is only 5 members, maybe 6 if Soren joins, and if you include garnet as 2 gems then it would be 7 but that is it" She says rather matter of factly. Diamonds mouth hangs open,"Th-there's only 7 of you?", "Correct" Peridot replies. "Who are the members then" Aquamarine asks, emerging form the escape pod with the others. "Well there's us 3, Garnet, maybe Soren and Steven", What about the legendary rose quartz?" Diamond asks, trying to regain the respect of her fellow escapists, she was the one that told them there would be an army. "Well she gave up her form to create Steven, he's a half human, half gem, the first of his kind" Pearl says. "So I've led a bunch of gems away from homeworld with a false promise and all we get is 6 gems and a hybrid" Diamond mutters to herself. "Well were here now and we can't exactly go back, so we might as well make the most of it" Emerald says with confidence, "Where are the others?". "There away around the city, but I guess they'll be back soon, so follow us back to the house, we'll need them to help understand what to do with you" Pearl says as they all head back to the house.
A/N
Ok, so I've finally done chapter 2, it only took a year, right? (I'm not even going to bore you with excuses). But I've finally done it and it is longer than chapter 1, not by much but still, I'm making progress. Chapter 3 might not come out for a while though since I've got exams and have to study (Yay for school) but they'll be over after 2 weeks so I should have it done after then. Regardless, I hope you enjoyed and remember you can still submit OC's.
