The Roaming Eye ship that carried Skinny and Carnelian arrived at Earth. The two runaway gems stared at the planet in awe and wonder. It was so much different from Homeworld and the various planets controlled by the Diamonds. This planet was whole. Skinny and Carnelian exchanged excited grins and Skinny set a course for the Beta Kindergarten. It seemed like the best place to land and explore.
The craft landed outside the Kindergarten and the gems got out and began to explore the place they originated from. They found the holes they had emerged from, which excited them a bit, but as they moved on they got a creeping feeling that something was up with Kindergarten. Skinny and Carnelian stumbled upon a few holes with bars slammed over them and inside them, were strange creatures that creeped them out.
"Hey Skinny...these things are kind of...in holding places...like the Zoo." Said Carnelian.
"Yeah...your right." Said Skinny.
It was at that moment Eyeball hopped out from behind a rock branching her chisel knife at the two gems.
"Intruders! Prepare to be shattered!" Yelled Eyeball.
Skinny and Carnelian jumped back in surprise and collided with something solid and fell to the ground. The two looked up to see a enormous quartz gem, they recognized. It was Jasper! Jasper looked down at the two gems and recognized them. She pointed a palm towards Eyeball telling her to lower her weapon.
"Well this is a surprise. I thought you two were stationed at the Zoo. Why are you two on Earth?" Said Jasper.
The two gems tried to come up with a good reason why they were on Earth, but Jasper silenced them with a raised hand.
"You know what I don't care. The fact is I'm building an army and you two are going to be a part of it." Said Jasper.
"An...army for what?" Asked Skinny.
"A army to crush what's left of the rebellion and take the Earth back for Homeworld." Said Jasper with a grin.
Skinny and Carnelian exchanged worried looks. They had escaped one bad life and a cruel master only to have them replaced with new ones. Things had taken a bad turn for the runaway gems.
To be continued.
