Chapter 2: The Birth of Gien Part 2

Earth 5,750 years ago

Pink Diamond demanded for her own colony. She was assigned to planet called Earth. Peridot XJ9 was assigned to set up the prime kindergarten, but still plotted on how to overthrow the diamonds. She was guiding two jaspers on placing the injectors to specific places.

Peridot XJ9: A little more to the left.

The two Jaspers carried the injector to their left.

Peridot XJ9: No, my left.

They move again to her left.

Peridot XJ9: Yes, there.

The injector is placed on the ground.

Peridot XJ9: Bring the rest of them, Pink Diamond expects us to get this done by the end of the day.

The two Jaspers leave to get another injector. Acha and Kocha enters.

Acha: My lord how goes the Kindergarten?

Peridot XJ9: It's been a bit slow, but nearly complete.

Acha: Very good, we came here to let you know your lab base is all set up.

Kocha: Everything is up and running.

Peridot XJ9: Excellent you two. That's the first good thing I've heard all day.

Acha: My lord, I'm just wondering but have you seen what the planet looks like? We haven't really taken a look at what the rest of the planet looks like.

Peridot XJ9: I have. I do have to say that out of all the planets, this one is actually somewhat appealing. Every other one I go to are always bleak and ugly.

Acha: I've also heard that this planet is inhabited by these creatures called whomans.

Kocha: ( correcting Acha) Humans.

Acha: What?

Kocha: They're called humans you twit.

Acha: Well excuese me, I wouldn't spell it like that.

Kocha: Well how would you spell it then?

Peridot XJ9: Enought you two, lets report this to Pink Diamond.

The three of them goes to her palaquine where Pink Diamond was along with her pearl. Peridot XJ9 enters saluting her.

Peridot XJ9: Pink Diamond, this is Peridot Facet-7F2L Cut XJ9 reporting. I am here to inform you that the Prime Kindergarten is complete and incubation has started.

Pink Diamond: That's great, oh I just can't wait to see the new gems emerge. Aren't you excited Pearl?

Pearl: I could be excited, if you'd like me to my Diamond.

Pink Diamond just sighs due to how Pearl has to act around her.

Peridot XJ9: Well if that is all I will leave now.

Pink Diamond: Wait, um if I remember correctly, your that same Peridot that presented those droids to us a few hundred years ago right.

Peridot XJ9 groans in frustration, but tries to act casual to her.

Peridot XJ9: Yes, I did. I know they were useless.

Pink Diamond: No I don't think they were.

Peridot XJ9 opens her eyes wide up and looks at her surprised.

Pink Diamond: I really thought the idea of creating artificial droids as warriors didn't sound bad, I mean maybe that soldier you made was a little too violent and did lack speech.

Peridot XJ9: ( stutters a bit as she talks) Well, um, I mean I intentionally didn't give them a voice and with it's aggression I just wanted to make it strong, to protect you.

Pink Diamond: And you, Acha was it? I thought you were talented and I liked your joke. I thought you were funny.

Acha: R-Really, well can I tell you one more then, if you like to hear it that is.

Pink Diamond: Please, tell me.

Kocha: Please don't use that Moonstone joke.

Acha: What do you call a bunch of Moonstones that move into your neighborhood?

Pink Diamond: What?

Acha: Gemtrification.

Pink Diamond starts laughing.

Pink Diamond: Good one, that really is a doozy.

Acha: Ya hear that Kocha, she thinks I'm hilarious.

Kocha: It wasn't that funny.

Acha: You're just jealous because she complimented me and not you.

Kocha: I am not!

Pink Diamond: And you Kocha.

Kocha looks at her.

Pink Diamond: I think you have some neat abilities of your own. You would be really useful keeping us out of danger. Plus I think your pretty cute.

Kocha: Oh why, thank you my Diamond. I don't really like to be called cute in general, but I will accept it from you.

Pink Diamond looks back at Peridot XJ9 and frowns a bit.

Pink Diamond: I'm really sorry that White, Yellow and Blue treated you like that.

Peridot XJ9: It's fine my Diamond.

Pink Diamond: It's not okay, they didn't even give you a chance. You have a gift that no other peridot has and they won't even atleast consider it. I know you just wanted to help for something we could come across one day. They are so stubborn especially Yellow. They didn't even let me say anything.

Peridot XJ9: But you're just as important as they are. You should also have the right to decide.

Pink Diamond: I know, but they still treat me like a child. That's why I wanted to start my own colony, to show them that I can do what they can and to treat me like a real Diamond.

Peridot XJ9: Well, I'm sure the colonization on this planet will be a success and you will impress them.

Pink Diamond: ( smiles at her) Thanks, and listen. Don't stop on what you want to do. Work hard and one day I will give the approval for your droids.

Peridot XJ9: ( smiles back at her) Thank you, my Diamond. I really appreciate your thoughts.

Pink Diamond: Your welcome XJ9. That will be all.

Peridot XJ9, Acha and Kocha leave.

Peridot XJ9: ( in her mind) I don't believe this. For a while, I've grown to hate the Diamonds, I think they're stupid and blind not realizing the power that I could bring, all but one of them saw that. Pink Diamond actually liked my ideas and she want's me to keep trying. Perhaps, not all Diamonds are foolish clods.

Acha taps on her shoulder.

Acha: My lord, are you feeling alright?

Peridot XJ9 snaps out of her trance.

Peridot XJ9: I'm fine Acha.

Acha: Do you still planning on taking down the Diamonds?

Peridot XJ9: Of course I do, but Pink will stay. For she is the only one will listen to me. One day I will make her proud.

250 years later

Gems were being created in the Kindergarten. While most of them did what they were told, there was one gem that didn't follow her orders of the Earth, a Rose Quartz. She saw the beauty of the Earth along with it's inhabitants. Unable to convince Pink Diamond to stop, she rebelled against her and gathered a following of her own, like a pearl that belonged to no one, a bismuth that made weapons for rebels instead of towers for tyrants and a fusion not formed from power, but from love. They were the Crystal Gems and they waged war against Homeworld for the fate of Earth.

Peridot XJ9's lab base

Acha: My lord, I have recieved news that an army of rebel gems called the Crystal Gems are rebelling against the Daimond Authority. They are lead by a Rose Quartz. War has brocken out and it is a battlefield out there.

Peridot XJ9: ( acting hardly amused) Is that so? Finally someone else agrees that the Diamonds are fools also. This would have been the perfect time to deploy the Gara Soldiers if the Diamonds did agree with it.

Acha: My lord, I'm just wondering but are you going to join these rebels to take down the Diamonds?

Peridot XJ9: Of course not.

Acha and Kocha look surprised.

Kocha: But why?

Peridot XJ9: Because war is not the way of taking down the enemy. You'll just make yourself a huge target and everyone would know who you are. You have to take them down from the inside. Besides, even if I wanted to, what would Pink Diamond think of me?

Acha: I had no idea you cared that much about her.

Peridot XJ9: I do, besides I'm currently working on my prototype of a Gara eliete.

Peridot XJ9 showed them what looked like a droid with a drill on its face, small antenas and drill hands.

Acha: Gara elite?

Peridot XJ9: These are also military class droids, but unlike the gara soldiers, these ones are less savage and will be able to speak. They will also be much stonger than the soldiers.

Kocha: Incredible.

Peridot XJ9: This is still a work in progress, but if this Rose Quartz fails on overthrowing the Diamonds, I will use this on them. But I will say that I don't care for what happens to Yellow, Blue or White, but Pink, I hope she just stays out of her way and stay safe.

1,000 years later

Peridot XJ9 continues with her experiments at her base. As time went on she was given shattered gem shards of crystal gems and experimented with them with fusing. With many failed and hideos prototype gem mutants stored away, she eventually succeded in creating what appeared to be a small seed, but when planted it would form into a geo-weapon called the cluster. She kept it for herself for future use. Meanwhile in the war, Homeworld was becoming too much for the Crystal Gems. With their numbers going down, Rose Quartz had to end it all by doing one thing.

Acha runs into the lab.

Acha: My lord! I have terrible news!

Peridot XJ9: Acha, what is it that could be so important that you have to interupt my work?

Acha: But my lord, it's Pink Diamond.

Peridot XJ9 finally looks at him, with worry in her eyes.

Peridot XJ9: What happened to Pink.

Kocha: She, well, she, she...

Peridot XJ9: What?!

Acha: She was shattered.

Peridot XJ9 eyes opened wide in shock with her mouth open. Apart of her just died hearing that. The one Diamond she actually liked was dead.

Peridot XJ9: No, this, this can't be true. How could this have happened?

Kocha: Rose Quartz shattered her, in front of everyone at her palaquine.

Peridot XJ9 started breathing heavily, she balled up her fists, then the pain and sadness turned into anger as she let out a wail with hot tears as she destroyed the experiments she was working on and slammed her fists onto her work station.

Peridot XJ9: NOOOOOOOOOO!

Then she sank onto the floor sobbing. Acha and Kocha come down to her level trying to comfort her.

Acha: ( placing his hands on her shoulders) My lord I am so sorry for your loss. I know how you admired her.

Peridot XJ9: ( continued sobbing) I should have been there, I failed her.

Kocha: No my lord, there was nothing you could have done. Not even her Quartz or Jaspers could have protected her.

Peridot XJ9: I'm not like them, I am unique. That's what she said to me. That's what she used to say to me.

Suddenly they heard an explosion at the bottom level. The turned on the monitors to see that the Crystal Gems have broken into the base and are there to set their captured friends who were to be experimented on free.

Acha: Oh no the rebels are here!

Kocha: We have to evacuate, hurry and get to the emergency exit!

Peridot XJ9 kept watching the monitor and saw that Rose Quartz was there. Her expression then turned into a vengeful one.

Peridot XJ9: ( sounding dead serious) Rose Quartz, she, she, she will die at my hands.

Acha and Kocha then look at her.

Acha: My lord your not saying...

Peridot XJ9: I'm sending down the Gara elite droid to attack. I will go down to control it.

Acha: My lord no it's too dangerous!

Kocha: She'll shatter you too, besides the Gara elite is a prototype, it might malfunction!

Peridot XJ9: I don't care! I will not let her just shatter my Diamond and get away with it! I will avenge her.

Peridot XJ9 takes her prototype with her and goes down to confront Rose.

Acha: My lord come back! Oh this is not good. This is not good at all!

Kocha: Get a few Gara Soldier Prototypes, we need back up.

At the bottom level at the base, Rose manged to save the prisoners, accompanied with her was Garnet, Pearl and Bismuth. But before they could leave Peridot XJ9 appears.

Peridot XJ9: Rose Quartz!

They turn around to see her and her the drill face Gara Elite droid.

Peridot XJ9: ( speaks in a deathly cold tone) This is as far as you go. Destroy them.

The Gara Elite droid nods and fires it's eye beams at them. Rose shields them all and once the droid stops firing it charges over to them. Pearl tries to stop it first. She used her spear to jab it. But the droid blocks it and swings it's drill arm and hits pearl and she is knocked to the wall. Bismuth formed her hands into hammers and tried to smash it, the droid blocks evey move and fires it's eye beams at her sending her flying to another wall. Then it attacked Rose. Firt it knocked the sword out of her hand and so she was forced to shield herself from it as it started banging hard on the shield, but before it could break it, Garnet punched it hard to the ground. It got back up trying to fight back. Trying to hit Garnet, she dodged its attacks and the last punch it tried to throw she grabbed it's arm and threw it across the room. Now it was malfunctioniong and XJ9 rushed to it trying to troubleshoot it. Garnet aimed her Gauntlest at them about to fire her rocket gauntlest. But Rose stops her.

Rose Quartz: Garnet wait. Don't kill them.

Garnet: ( looking at her) What?

Rose Quartz: Let me talk to her.

Garnet looks at her a bit confused. Peridot XJ9 gets the Gara Elite working again at it fires it's eyebeams. Rose doesn't see this, but Garnet saw it.

Garnet: Rose, look out!

Garnet pushes Rose aside, luckily she doges it too and immediately fires her rocket gauntlets at them. It destroys the Gara Elite causing it to explode and XJ9 is caught in the blast. Her lower body is crushed by large remains of the droid and notices she was glitching up, her gem was cracked. She saw a silouhette approaching her from the smoke, it was Rose Quarts, she let out her hand to her.

Rose Quartz: You poor thing, let me help you.

Peridot XJ9: ( slaps her hand away) Get away from me!

Rose Quartz: Please I want to help you.

Peridot XJ9: ( snarls at her) I don't want your help, not after what you've done.

Rose Quartz: Listen to me, I'm not who you think I am.

Peridot XJ9: I know who you are, you are the one who shattered Pink Diamond. You murderer, traitor and witch!

Rose Quartz: No thats not...

Pearl: Rose we have to go, reinforcements are on there way here.

Rose Quartz: No I can't leave you.

Peridot XJ9: Don't pity me!

Bismuth: She doesn't want our help Rose. Lets get out of hear!

Rose Quartz: No!

Bismuth grabs rose and they run out of the remains of the base. Rose looks back with tears in her eyes.

Rose Quartz: ( whispering) I'm so sorry.

Back in the base, Peridot XJ9 is still stuck, until Acha, Kocha and small group of Gara Soldier prototypes arrive.

Acha: My lord!

Acha and Kocha runs to her, finding her badly injured.

Kocha: She's still alive, but her gem.

Acha: Get her out of there, bring her to the upper level.

The Gara soldiers remove the remains of the droid off of her and they carry her back up. They place her on an operating table, but they did not have anything to heal her gem.

Acha: Oh no, we don't have the resourses to heal her gem.

Kocha: No, we can't let her die. Isn't here anyway to save her.

Peridot XJ9: ( sounding weak) The suit.

Acha and Kocha looks back and notices the robotic suit XJ9 made for the presentation.

Acha: I don't know if we should do that my lord.

Kocha: It hasn't been tested yet, how do we know if it works?

Peridot XJ9: ( sounding weak) Poof my gem and place it in the chest. If I don't awaken in ten seconds, it doesnt work.

Acha: Are you sure you want to go through with this?

Peridot XJ9: ( sounding weak) Do it.

Kocha: It seems we don't have much of a choice.

Acha opens his chest and takes out a gem destablizer taser.

Acha: This is for you my lord.

Acha uses the weapon on XJ9 and poofs. He carefully takes the gem and presses the button on the chest that opens the spot for the gem. He gently places the gem inside it and the chest shuts tight.

In ten seconds they see the arms move a little as the eyes lite up. The eyes were still squinted ,but were white. The suit finally moves and walks up to Acha and Kocha.

Acha: My lord, is that you.

The robotic suit began to speak, but it sounded more like a male, but with a slight high pitch on the voice.

Robotic suit: Yes Acha, I am here.

Acha: ( Exclaims happily) Haha, it worked! My lord, your experiment worked!

Kocha: That's our master, the great Peridot XJ9.

Robotic suit: Peridot XJ9 is dead Kocha.

Acha and Kocha then look at him a bit puzzled.

Robotic suit: I am no longer a gem. I am more machine now. The Peridot you know is no longer what she used to be. You will now call me, Gien.

Acha and Kocha look at each other, but shrugged and went with it.

Acha: Of course, my lord. We are still with you to the end.

Kocha: Long live Master Gien.

Gien: Excellent.

Suddenly the alarm goes on.

Kocha: I am receiving a message from Yellow Diamond.

Kocha projects a hologram of Yellow.

Yellow Diamond: Attention all gems, the final attack on Earth is about to commence. Evacuate the Earth immediatly. This is not a drill, I repeat this is not a drill.

Acha: Final attack?

Kocha: What does that mean?

Gien: Nevermind that, get to the ship.

The three of them along with the living prototypes make it to the ship, but not without the cluster seed. Outside of there ship, Gien shoots the ground with his limb enhancer hand. This creates a deep hole into the ground and drops the seed into it. They get onto the ship and make it up into space, they see numerous ships flying out of their and see's Blue, Yellow, and White's ships in front of the planet. They emerge from there ships and put their hands together.

Acha: What are they doing?

Gien: Using there last resort. Obliterating the remaining gems on the planet.

A bright light blasted out of their hands as it hit the Earth, it was so bright that Gien, Acha and Kocha had to shield there eyes. Soon the light went away and they looked back.

Acha: What just happened?

Kocha: The war is over, Rose Quartz and the Crystal Gems have all been destroyed.

Gien: But at the cost of my Diamond. But now that Rose Quartz has been taken care of, the Diamonds are next on my list. Now the Earth is no longer fit for a colony and I just planted the seed right before we left. So lets see what the Cluster can do. It might take a few thousand years, but it will be worth the wait.

Gien's face then changes his expression to a more surprised and expressive face. His mouth opens wide as his jaw drops and his eyes are now wide open and turn red as he starts laughing maniacally.

Kocha: ( whispering to Acha) I think he might have a screw loose.

Acha: ( whispering back) We saved our Master, only to turn her into a psychopath.

To be continued...

Author's Note: That's it for this chapter. In case you can't tell, Gien's voice is supposed to be based off Chris Latta's portrayals as Starscream and Cobra Commander. And special thanks to Lady Shadow92 for getting me started on this and for adding some new ideas on Pink Diamond you will see soon. Please read and review. Thank You.
