Citrine walked into the room with her chin up. Greg stayed in the hall and listened.
"Excuse me, but have you happened to see a small Sapphire gem? I'm looking for her. She got the wrong orders."
The gem turned to Citrine and had a worried look on her face. "I just treated a small Sapphire. Was I not supposed to? I'm sorry!"
The gem looked down awaiting a response.
"well, where is she now?", Citrine wanted to just take what they had and leave but the others wouldn't like that.
"I'll get her gem back. Excuse me a moment."
The large gem put her hand on the wall and a panel lit up. A loud noise came through the wall and four dark blue pieces came out through a slot.
"I'm so sorry I had no idea that she had the wrong orders. Is there anything else I can do? I can't fix her. I wish that I could"
"No, that will be all, thankyou",said Citrine sharply. She liked bossing around this big gem.
She walked out into the hall and showed Greg the pieces. They kept walking. Citrine was taking Greg to yellows special punishment room.
They walked past a few guards on the way but Greg was getting better at hiding.
At last Citrine stopped at a door in the wall, a panel glowed next to it. She placed her hand on it and it opened the door. Once inside, they saw multiple chairs, all of them occupied by a beaten Crystal gem.
Everyone was there. Pearl was slumped over and had pieces of her hair missing. Her clothes were dirty and burnt. She seemed to be fine. She was sleeping. All of them were in that same condition even Ruby and Amethyst. Greg went to Pearl because she was the closest. He poked her shoulder and she screamed and woke up looking scared.
"Pearl, calm down! it's me. were busting you out!"
"Greg?",She was dazed.
Greg and Citrine have gathered all three gems and had Sapphires shards. They started on there way. Greg got out his phone and called Steven. He told them what happened and Steven said they would meet them in the ship.
The group was making there way to the elevators. If a guard showed up. They couldn't make up another story. they would have to take them out. They were very lucky and made it into the elevators without a single glance.
When they arrived at the bottom level where all the ships were, they backed against the wall and tried not to be seen by the gem that watched the ships. She saw them.
"Hey! excuse me! I didn't give you clearance to board. Stop!"
Citrine ran up the the gem and punched her in her stomach. The "prase" gem Yelped as she poofed. Citrine threw her gem to Pearl.
Pearl bubbled her and sent her off. It was kind of mean but oh well. Bigger issues are at stake here.
They all boarded the ship and discovered that Steven, Connie and Turquoise were already in the ship. They managed to get past ship security.
