Soraoathkeeper: *is high off soda*
Mika: That was THE most awesome party ever!
009: OH YEAH!
Mika: ..!!! O_o
Opal: Mika doesn't own anything but the gem girls and Diamond.
009: Who're you?
Opal: I'll see you later in the story.
Sora: I have to go *hic* but thanks for the awesome party!
Mika and 009: any time!
Mika: You're welcome back!

Diamond was going through twenty million questions with Gilmore. She clung to her diamond pendant. Even when Joe asked to see it, she wouldn't give it to him. It contained her, pretty much.
"So you aren't a cyborg?" Gilmore asked. He was tired of this.
"No. I'm human, unless you feel like making me a cyborg." Diamond told him. The rebels looked at her in disgust. Aquamarine was just beginning to see who Black Ghost was.
"Can you possibly demonstrate how you make cyborgs?" Gilmore wondered.
"Sure." Diamond said, pulling the peridot out of the large diamond pendant. She placed it on the table in front of her and started to form the latest in her series.
~@~@~@~
"Perfect." Black Ghost spat. "Cyrea, I thought you told me that she was off to destroy them, not make allies with them."
"I did, sir. She was going to destroy them. I don't know what happened." Cyrea told Black Ghost.
"Well, no matter. Let's just get her creator in here and see how well she takes it. In no time, she'll think that the rebels did it. After that, it's just a matter of how long." Black Ghost had begun a plan. Get Diamond and turn her into a cyborg.
That was all that she needed.
~@~@~@~
"To you, I grant the power of invisibility and speed." Diamond said, eyes shut. The newly formed Peridot dropped onto the table, and the original gemstone returned to Diamond. "That's how." Gilmore looked like he'd been hit in the back of the head with a wet fish.
"Did that just really happen?" Jet rudely said, breaking the silence.
"Want another demo?"
"Sure as hell! I want to see that this isn't rigged." Jet yelled.
Diamond pulled the sapphire out of her pendant. This guy was seriously ticking her off. Placing the sapphire on the table and closing her eyes, it lifted five feet up and began to whirl incredibly fast.
"To you, I grant psychic powers. You are capable of everything but foretelling the future." Diamond said. Sapphire didn't even need to wake up. As soon as Diamond got the sapphire back, Sapphire sat up.
She had indigo hair and indigo eyes. Jet sat there, looking at her.
"What." Sapphire snapped, noticing Jet. "I'm not some circus freak." Then, Sapphire lifted Jet a clean three feet out of his chair into the air.
"Put me down NOW, child." Jet said furiously. "Or do you not understand the meaning of now?"
"DO NOT CALL ME CHILD!" Sapphire shouted, but her mouth didn't move.
She was projecting her thoughts aloud.
Sapphire lifted Jet up another five feet, then dropped him. "Ticking me off is NOT a good idea, 002. Leave me alone unless you have a GOOD reason to disrupt me. Not a reason like you need help moving things." Sapphire said, using her voice. "That goes for anyone else who decides to stare avidly at me."
"Kobanwa...." A sleepy voice said. "I'm Peridot."
"Sorry Peridot!" Emerald said, suddenly remembering. Emerald jumped up and helped Peridot to sit up.
"Sapphire? Uh, what are you doing?" Peridot asked Sapphire, who looked like she was having a staring contest with Ivan.
[We aren't doing anything.] Ivan told everyone.
[001 is much nicer than 002. I believe 001 and I will get along fine.] Sapphire said, grinning ever so slightly.
"Can we go to bed now?" Aquamarine asked, sounding exhausted. "I didn't know how much fighting took out of you."
"I agree," said Garnet. "Let's go to bed."
"But where will all of you sleep?" Francoise asked. "We don't have enough rooms."
"I believe I can take care of that, for the time being." Sapphire told Francoise. "I'll see if I can call some sleeping bags and pillows. From there, we can find some place to sleep."
"But doesn't someone have to pilot this thing?" Amethyst asked. "It's a sub, right?"
"I'll take care of it." Sapphire answered again.
~@~@~@~
"Good evening, Takegara. You understand your mission, I trust?" Black Ghost inquired. He had had enough of that fool of fools Cyrea.
"Yes, sir. Find Diamond and bring her back her. I should not attempt to destroy the others unless absolutely necessary." Takegara said.
"Very good. I'll see you in about two hours."
~@~@~@~
Sapphire had gotten about eight sleeping bags, which was the perfect amount. Jet had agreed to wake up at three in the morning to take control. But, as Amethyst saw, he just wanted to clear things up with Sapphire. He liked her.
But what didn't show up on the radar was a man following them. To be specific, Takegara. He didn't want to be executed.
~@~@~@~
Roughly, it was one in the morning. Takegara had successfully broken into the Dolphin. Now all he had to do was find Diamond.
"Now, if I was a diamond, where would I be?" Takegara whispered. "Found you." He whispered triumphantly. He placed her into a bubble-like container and hauled her out of the ship.
Success. This meant a promotion, Takegara thought merrily.
~@~@~@~
"Very good, Takegara. And within the time limit, too." Black Ghost said, surveying Diamond. It was a good thing Takegara hadn't taken her pillow. That was where she was storing the diamond pendant for the night.
"Thank you, sir." Takegara said proudly. He removed Diamond from the bubble.
"Bring her to the lab."
"Right away." Takegara replied, still in a good mood.
~@~@~@~
"WHERE'S DIAMOND!?" Sapphire bellowed. It was three in the morning. She and Jet had just swapped positions. He had even offered to let Sapphire sleep in his room. Sapphire had turned down the offer.
"How am I supposed to know?" a weary Pyunma asked. Waking up early had gone past him long ago.
Very slowly, everyone gathered in the control room. Sapphire was practically blowing flames at Jet. "He did it." Sapphire told everyone.
"Sapphire, calm down." Ruby said, rubbing sleep from her eyes. "Let's look for her. I'll go with Garnet, Amethyst, 007 and Aquamarine. 002, 003, 004, 005 and 006 can make a group. You, Peridot, Pearl, 008 and 009 are the other group. Got it everyone?"
They nodded. Ruby smiled. "Let's split up!" she said.
"So you're 009. It is a pleasure to meet you." Sapphire told Joe, extending a hand. Joe nervously shook it. Sapphire grinned. "You're 008." She said, facing Pyunma.
"It's nice to meet your aquantince." Pyunma said, shaking Sapphire's hand. Peridot looked. She wasn't in a bad mood, but she was sleepy. Like Pyunma, she did not like waking up before it was absolutely required.
~@~@~@~
After an hour of searching, no one found anything but Francoise. She had been looking to see if Diamond had left a clue to where she had gone. What she found was Diamond's pendant. Sapphire still thought that Jet did it; she had checked his room five times before admitting that he hadn't done it.
"So, where could she have gone?" Peridot asked. "We don't know when and why she left. So how do we find her?"
[I'll look with Ruby.] Sapphire thought, but let everyone hear. [We can hook up and see the past, present and future. Ruby can, at least. But with both of us, I bet everyone can see it and we can track her down.]
"Ok, sounds good to me," Albert said.
Ruby and Sapphire sat down on a couch next to each other. They joined hands, and as they did, a ruby and a sapphire light up inside their bodies.
"I see a guy...he's climbing in. He's looking around, and sees Diamond. He picks her up, then puts her in this bubble thing. Then he gets back out." Ruby said, frightened by what she was witnessing. Of course, she wasn't the only one. The entire group in the living room, including Gilmore and Ivan, were watching.
"He gets up onto a small island, then goes into a building." Sapphire said, but decided not to talk anymore. It was becoming evident what had happened: Black Ghost had kidnapped Diamond.
"I think we're looking into the future.." Sapphire said, but Ruby broke loose. This was going too far, she thought. It really was happening: Diamond was being made into a cyborg. Ruby wanted to cry. She wasn't the only one. All of the gem girls wanted to cry, excluding Sapphire. She seemed to be fighting against herself. Ivan could tell because objects were beginning to float around the room.
"I'm stuck. Why would they want Diamond?" Pearl asked, speaking up at last. "I mean, she has magic and all, but I don't know what other than that."
[Black Ghost wanted her to fool you guys into thinking that we did it,] said Ivan [They wanted you to destroy us. 009 and 003, do you remember those dreams you had? I believe that the dreams were talking about these girls.]
"That isn't possible, 001." Chang said. "If their dreams had meant something, Dr. Gilmore would have figured it out by now."
"Now would be a good time to tell about my dream, I guess. In my dream, I met Black Ghost. He told me you guys were awful people." Aquamarine said shakily.
"The only reason they don't like us is because we rebelled. If we hadn't, they'd have thought differently." Albert said.
"Well, he told me that you guys were wrecking havoc. I decided to get rid of you myself. That's how I wound up here." Aquamarine told him, finishing up her previous statement.
~@~@~@~
"Where on earth am I?" Diamond asked herself. "I've never been here before." She was in an all-white room, lying on an operating table. There were windows high up on the walls, but not looking outside. They showed corridors of endless lengths.
"Time to find a way out." Diamond stated. She rolled the sleeves up on her red shirt.
RED SHIRT!!?? She thought, panic-stricken. I was wearing pajamas, and they certainly weren't red. Now isn't the time, she scolded herself. Now' s the time to get out.
"Not so fast, 0017. We haven't even met yet." A man in a black cape and skull mask said. "My name is Black Ghost. Won't you sit down?"
Diamond nearly tore her hair out. Here was Black Ghost, and she could kill him. "I summon.."
"Now, now, it isn't time to do that. I want to see how you fare alone for a while. You'll be taking a little trip in a while. It is my personal hope that you have a good time, 0017." Black Ghost told Diamond smoothly.
"What? Vacation?" Diamond inquired. Sleep was staring to nag at her.
"Have a nice time on my personal island." Was the last thing Diamond heard before unconscious claimed her.
