I read your reviews and you guys just get so on point with the story i scream of excitement :D Huehuehue. Thank you everyone for reviewing, favoriteing, following and more!

20Last-Sparkle01- Thank you so much! I usually write 1k+ words in each chapter but I will try to make them longer! I don't know Portuguese myself so everything I wrote down was done using google translate! XP (I just put Papa! Ich bin zuhause!" in google translate and it turns out to be German! :C) I need to step up my game! XD As for the name, it is suppose to be Safira, another mistake on my part;or googles, but they say the English version of her name! Thank you for correcting my mistakes! C:

Gokartgirl- :D your a bit off but right on point with the rest!

RankPup8- Not exactly but Blue Diamond does have a big announcement!

!Warning! Sad, violent descriptions in this chapter. It went from like a K+-T real quick.

The moment they received the text message, they scooped up Garnet, grabbed a blanket, and ran down the stairs to turn on the TV. It was all over the news. Replays of horror, devastation, chaos, and down right gruesome things of what was happening in some parts of South America and U.S.

Blue Diamond was standing in the white house, flocked with news press, awaiting for the right time to speak. With her stood her secretary. Pearl B. Lazuli. Blue Diamond cleared her throat and spoke.

"Today, we are at war with a terrorists group names Home World," Blue Diamond stated. "We are not about to let these monsters take away the rights of ours. We've been at war with them for years. It is until now that Yellow Diamond, leader of Home World, has decided to take matters in to her own hands."

Blue Diamond shifted her hands and continued, "We are calling forth any soldier who are on active duty. Any willing to fight for us." Blue Diamond's gaze shifted toward the other side of the room.

"As I speak, troops are being deployed in many parts of South America, Parts of the U.S. and so on. A moment of silence is going out to those who are losing their lives today. Whether it be troops, innocent by standers or others on the other side. Foolish enough to fight for Yellow Diamond."

A video was shown in that moment of silence. Live footage of what is going on at that very moment. Screams and cries of pain, bodies of the fallen, bullets being fired. Heavy breathing of those who risked their lives recording.

Rohan and Rouge's eyes teared. Their reflex was to hug Garnet a bit tighter. What is to happen to Ruby? To Peridot? Surely they'd be called forward. It's what they were trained for. It's what they chose to do in life.

The brothers were silently weeping. Blue Diamond came back on to the screen. She had more to say on the matter. Much more.

"Rose," Pearl put her foot down. "I have to do this. I can't just sit here and watch as thousands, no, millions loose their lives". She had been successful in rocking Steven to sleep and placed him in their bed.

"I know, I know," Rose bit her lip. Stroking Stevens cheek with her free hand. Pearl looked to her and Rose's walk in closet. Walking towards it and bending down to open a small crawl space door. She pulled out a shoe box and opened it.

Inside the box was her old uniform. Her badges, ribbons, medals, and rank laid on the sides of the uniform. Her hand traced over the uniform. She never thought she would have to pull the uniform back out until now.

Rose's eyes went to Steven, watching him sleep peacefully. Unbeknownst to the little boy that his mom would be gone for a while. That his mother would be his guardian for now. Rose bent down and gave him a quick kiss on the forehead. A noise caught Rose's attention.

Her gaze went to the closet where Pearl stood. She had the box in hand along with a pair of boots, something draped over her shoulder. She set them down on the bed. Rose moved to the other side of the room and wrapped her hands around Pearl. They needed to discuss somethings before Pearl was to leave the safety of their home.

"b-but she was...they said she...oh stars!" Peridot mumbled. His arm went to touch his artificial one. Lapis rubbed circles on his back, doing her best to calm him down.

"What are we going to do Ruben!?" Peridot asked. Ruby's eyes shifted toward Peridot. Ruby hadn't heard Peridot call him his real name in a long time.

"There's nothing we can do to stop it" Ruby mumbled, pointing a finger to Peridot. "We have to go Peridot. We both chose to become soldiers and that's what were going to do" Ruby explained as Peridot nodded, hugging Lapis once more.

Peridot felt a twinge of pride leave him. He wasn't going to deny the Army's wishes and refuse to fight. He was just afraid of losing it;His one good arm. He had lost the other one in a land mine a few years back. His anger had gotten the best pushing everyone away from him, family, friends and Lapis.

Lapis had forgiven him and accepted him for who he was. Peridot. That's who she saw. She didn't see him any differently, even with an artificial limb. Unlike his parents.

Ruby's phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Are you and Peridot seeing this?" It was Amethyst. Peridot and Ruby met Amethyst back when they had first entered the Army. She was higher rank with them but they still managed to become friends, possibly even family.

"Yeah, have they called you yet?" Ruby questioned, whispering "It's Amethyst," to Peridot and Lapis.

A loud sign was heard through the phone, "Me and Jasper," A groan could be heard. "How's Perinerd taking it?" Amethyst asked.

"He's fine for the most part, eh, we're losing him a bit, but, he's not backing down" Ruby ran a hand through his hair.

"What about you, Ru?"

"My mind is cluttered on Garnet and Sapphire, I could always leave Garnet with Rouge and Rohan, but, that still leaves Sapphire" Ruby confessed. "I'm scared, Yellow Diamond and 'Home World' are taking over most parts of South America. That includes Brazil!" Ruby exclaimed, "She hasn't called me or anything! I'm getting a little worried now...that maybe she's..."

"Woah, Dude. Calm down! It's Sapphire! She can handle herself, I mean she handled you for two years!" Amethyst comforted.

Ruby sniffed, rubbing tears from his eyes, "Thanks, Amethyst. No doubt me and Peridot will get a call..." Ruby's eyes shifted back to Peridot. Him and Lapis were talking about something. "Should we meet up? Me and Peridot will have to go home and retrieve a few things, say goodbye to loved ones, the works." Ruby explained.

"No problem, dude. Me and Jasper could be at your place, are you heading out now?"

"We'll be heading home soon, we're at-, you remember Lapis, right? Yeah, we're at her sister's house at the moment. Lapis' sister's wife, Rose Quartz, was helping me try to get Sapphire a green card...That's gonna be put on hold, for now." Ruby signed.

"Me and Jasper need to get some things ready as well, we'll be at your house soon."

"Okay, yeah. See ya' there Ame. Bye." Ruby ended the call.

"Peridot, Lapis we got to go home. Amethyst and Jasper are meeting us," Ruby shoved his phone in to his pocket.

"Pearl, Rose! We'll be heading home, now!" Lapis called. A door could be heard opening and out stepped Pearl in her uniform.

"Mind if I tag along?" Pearl asked, adjusting her uniform.
