Oh gee thanks for following!
Master of the Boot- Yes, please continue this
I love au stories and this has potential to vastly change this particular universe
Oki doki! Here you go! new chapter! And yeah, it will change this Universe drastically.
So without further ado!
When a golden flash crossed Blue diamond's screen, a foreign yellow flash tinting her skin green.
A melancholy smile crossed her face and she opened it, reading the forgotten gem's words.
"Mia Diana...?" She muttered, Yellow had never signed like that before. Perhaps it was a new code she was testing? Or some sort of typo? The more she dwelled on it the more worried she became, sending a report to Yellow's sector she sent a peridot and jasper to the coordinates of where the message originated.
What could it be that Yellow was hiding? This message was unlike her.
Mia drummed her fingers dully on the armrest of her throne as her Pearl reprimanded her for responding to a message from one of the Diamonds.
"-And the fact that you responded to a message from BLUE DIAMOND! Before you were completed with your training, or lessons shows a level of ineptitude that would boarder on the imbecilic! You can't just send her a message! She could track it and find you and have you KILLED for stars sake! You could be considered... off-color...! And she would destroy your physical human form reverting you back to your mother! -who would shatter me for sure if anything happened to you!- Of course, that's just a theory, your gemstone could reform idle! Then there'd be no Yellow Diamond!" She squawked, pacing and flailing her arms wildly as she continued to rant.
"As if she would harm a fellow diamond. Don't be such a silly pearl!" Mia scoffed, waving a dismissive hand. The very thought was ludicrous.
"But you're not pure Diamond! You're half human! She can be highly merciful, but that doesn't mean she'd do the same to you! She could see you as something deplorable! I can't believe you would do something so foolish!"
"Oh, will just shut up?! I get it! I screwed up! Thank you for reminding me that I will never be perfect or be able to fully take up my mother's colonies! Thank you for reminding me everyday of my existence that I was a mistake! And thanks for telling me every single day that I will never, ever measure up to what I'm supposed to be!" The blonde roared, standing over the pearl and letting her rage boil out in words rather than lightening.
Her heart hammered inside her chest painfully and her cheeks were flared red in anger. "I- my diamond..." Pearl tried to apologize but the teenager wouldn't hear it.
"Just don't say it if you don't mean it... I'll be on the palm playing basketball... Don't bother me." She girl huffed, turning and walking down the many halls.
The dribbling ball was rhythmic, and provided a calming sense to the agitated blonde.
Dribble, dribble, dribble, swish.
Dribble, dribble, dribble, swish.
Dribble, dribble, dribble, swish.
She was about to summon a hologram of herself and play a little one-on-one when the ground quaked, knocking her off her feet and causing the ball to roll off the palm of her ship till it fell to the distant ground.
Mia sighed and went after her ball, her magnetic energy allowing her to cling to the ship and slow her fall down my a few degrees. She was going to pick it up but the screech coming from the other side of beach was far more interesting.
She glanced at her ship, the Diamond should really tell her pearl where she was headed, since the pearl was her unofficial legal guardian, but she still didn't want to talk to the lesser gem at the moment.
Like a rocket Mia ran down the beach lightening trailing in her wake.
Reaching the temple, she saw the crystal gems bogged down by a much larger centipedal than earlier that day.
Then golden eyes caught site of something to turn her golden blood to ice in her very veins: Steven running down the beach with that stupid freezer strapped to his back full of that desert he enjoyed.
The boy tossed a pebble at the back of the head of the beast gaining it's attention. "Leave them alone!"
"Steven, no!" She cried in unison with the rebel band.
"COOKIE CAT CRYSTAL COMBO POWERS ACTIVATE!" He shouted in a weak battle cry, taking large bites of the ice cream treat.
"Om my stars he's such an idiot..." Mia muttered before taking off once again and blocking a well aimed shot of acid at the boy.
"Next time you want to battle pick on someone a bit more your own size, Steven!" She snapped coldly, the acid ball getting flung back by her sword.
"We need to save Steven!" The CG Pearl exclaimed, covering her head as the pincers of the creature took a bite of the hand they'd been hiding behind.
"Can we save ourselves first?!" The stout purple gem asked deadpan.
"Stop eating those! You're going to make yourself sick!" The diamond snapped, her sword holding the creature's maw open as it tried to eat her.
She gasped in surprise as the creature broke her sword and nearly bit her in half and rolled out of the way, Steven's freezer getting destroyed in the chaos, leaving the boy distraught.
Slowly the lyrics of the frozen treats theme song left his lips, as she picked up the freezer and chucked it at the monster with vengeance.
It was as if Mia herself had electrocuted the creature -she might have helped b super charging the power cord, causing it to poof, it's stone falling to the soft sand. "Now available... nowhere..."
A soft punch landed on the boys shoulder, and the gem princess gave him a proud smile, a small one, but the first smile he had ever seen on her face.
The fusion bubbled the round gem and sent it away, Steven burring the wrapper of the last cookie cat he'd eaten. "Sweet, sweet cookie cats. You were too good for this world." His stomach rumbled and he gently shushed his growling gut.
"Are you crying over Ice cream?" Mia asked deadpanned, that was ridiculous.
"Only a little!" The boy shouted.
"Well I guess your powers don't come from ice cream." The Amethyst shrugged.
"Of course they don't come from ice cream. Don't worry, Steven, I'm sure some day you'll figure out how to activate your gem." Pearl said gently, sitting on the ground next to the mourning boy.
"Yes, in your own Steven-y way." The fusion smiled.
"I'm ok guys... I just- ugh, I think I ate too many cookie cats..." He groaned.
The gems laughed and the diamond smiled softly as she walked back down the beach her part done.
Maybe Steven wasn't all that bad. Sort of like her younger brother's; annoying to a fault.
Once back to her ship, Mia soaked in a hot bath after such an unusual day, A message from her mother, traveling to the Rebel temple, seeing her first corrupted gems, getting a message from a fellow diamond, responding to said message, battling a gem monster, and maybe seeing the Crystal gems as ally's or something of the sort, but enough to trust them in her presence.
Summoning her instrument, something like a keytar, she played a few random notes as the foam covered waters exfoliated her from such a long day, there was no melody or beat to it when she played, she just played out a handful of sounds until she'd get a suitable rhythm and then she'd sing to herself, mainly about glorious battles fought for honor, wars won and all the gems crushed under her heel.
When that bored her, the bathing blonde brought forth her data pad and search for one particular key phrase that had persisted in her mind the entire day.
Who was Blue Diamond?
The data she received was typical, she was a diamond, yada, yada, she raised empires on colonized planets, blah, blah, blah, very merciful, etc. etc. Known for her elegance and beauty, same old, same old, has been in serve mourning since the shattering of Pink Diamond.
The reading material was duller than she had first warranted it to be, and her water was cold anyways.
Despite how late it was Mia wasn't hungry, skipping dinner tonight would hurt anything, all she would really end up eating is some miniscule meal meant to be rare and healthy, designed for people of higher stature, but it was never really filling or tasty.
Rest came easily to the girl, but it didn't last.
Even before the sun came up before sleep left the girl.
She climbed out a window and scaled the fore-arm of her ship up to the great palm where she would spend hours thinking, dreaming, or playing basketball.
Once in the heel of her mother's giant hand she rested on her back and watched the stars dance and move across the sky. She named all visible colonies, and planned out her future ones when she finally left her earthly tether behind hand roamed the stars like a true diamond.
The rosy fingers of dawn began to reach over the distant hill tops bathing her in an orange and pink glow. She'd reach up and cup the stars, the sparkling and fading stars.
One day she'd go there, and walk on their surfaces.
"My diamond...?" Her pearl spoke softly, resting on her knees a few feet away.
"What is it, pearl?" The words slipped past the chapped lips in a huff, a tired huff, not an angry one.
"I just received notice that an exploration crew, consisting of a peridot and jasper, is coming to earth from your court, sent by Blue Diamond. I can't call off the mission but I can't reach the command of the ship. They will be here in a matter of weeks to months." Pearl said, following her diamonds gaze to the dying light of the stars.
Mia sighed and sat up, resting her arms on her spread knees. "Well then... I suppose we should make my debut to my court something memorable." She gave a small half hearted smile to her servant, getting one in return.
The blonde knew what needed to be done, but stars she hadn't expected it to be so hard.
She barely had time off, in between studying the colonies and court etiquette, and Battle training and reading reports, her artwork and acquaintanceship's sat idle.
But finally a well deserved break was coming her way. Pearl had been very specific and very serious that she would only have two hours personal time and that she shouldn't waist it.
She wouldn't.
Normally she would be in her formal attire but today, today was different. A pair of jean shorts and a yellow flannel shirt is what she wore with a pair of sneakers.
The fawn skinned girl strolled down the streets of the suburbs between Empire city and Beach city, looking for somewhere specific.
She found it a few blocks in, her targets busy in the front yard kicking a soccer ball around. "Hey you guys!" The diamond called, picking up her pace.
The two jet haired boys turned around, and ran to her, crashing into her waist in a large hug. Now normally Mia wouldn't allow someone to touch her like this but they were the only exception.
"Mia! We missed you! You never ever come visit anymore!" The brown eyed boy said, bouncing up and down.
"Yeah!" The Green eyed one added. "Does dad know you're here?"
Her eyes shrunk and her heart stilled for a moment. "No... But that's ok." She said, ruffling their dark hair. "'sides, I thought I could take you guys out for dinner, Just go tell Sandy first."
Their eyes lit up and they ran inside, grabbing their ball on the way.
"Mia! Mia! Mia!" A six-year-old blonde girl beamed, running towards her, but the older blonde stepped out of the way of the tackle hug. Mia couldn't stand that horrid little abomination.
"Mom said we could go!" The brown eyed boy said, breathless.
"Go where?" The little girl asked, quirking a brow.
"Mia's gonna take us to dinner, Maria!" The green eyed boy breathed happily.
"Can I come too?" Maria asked, jumping up and down happily.
"No." Mia said, turning on heal away from the girl. "Go inside, We'll be back in an hour and a half. C'mon Aden, Zack."
The two brothers waved, and followed the Diamond girl to her Palanquin which was only a few blocks away.
As the Palanquin took off towards beach city, the two boys began talking with the older girl.
"You missed our birthday." Aden said, watching the panels light up gold to Mia's touch.
"I know." The blonde sighed heavily. "But you know how dad and I get along."
"Yeah... Still would be cool if you could hang out with us more." Zack muttered, watching the small tourist town grow bigger in the distance.
"I know, he's just so...-"
"Pushy, and a pervert, and positively pig like." The two brothers finished her sentence and her amber eyes eyed them with a glimmer of pride. A soft laugh parted her lips and a fraction of a smile tugged at it's corners.
"So, Fish stew Pizza or Beach city walk fries for dinner?" She asked, bringing her shuttle to rest on the soft white sand.
"Fries." They answered in unison.
"We had Pizza last time, remember? And Aden got sick because he ate a piece of shrimp." Zack said, his brown eyes reflecting the sunlight as the trio walked into the city.
"Ugh yeah... I think I've had a enough Fish Pizza for a while, besides didn't you say last time that they had a new item coming out? The grits or something?" Aden asked, his green eyes glancing up questioningly.
"The bits." She corrected. "Some kid who lives on the beach orders them, they just finally added it to the menu for real."
"is it any good?"
"I think so, but you know, why not." Mia shrugged.
Both boys did a fist pump as the elder blonde ordered three rounds of bits, the sky getting redder and redder as the sun slowly sank below the sea for the night.
"Sunset looks so cool from Beach city, sis, and it's even cooler from your ship!" Aden commented as they sat on a sea facing bench and ate their meal.
"Yeah! But what's with the second red sun?" Zach asked, mouthful.
Their older sister snorted, and then chocked on the fry bits in her mouth. "Second Sun?!" She hacked.
A strong gravitational pull began to tug at the city, too weak for ordinary humans to feel but Mia could feel it quite easily.
"Oh, Thank the stars! My diamond! We need to get into the ship! It's a Red eye and it will destroy the city!" Pearl screeched, running down the beach.
The blonde didn't think, she picked both her younger brothers up, one in each arm, and put them in her palanquin, locking it once she was sure they were safe. "Stay here and don't push any buttons." She ordered, and then added. "And in the event you get captured by Homeworld gems say. 'I'm part of Yellow diamond's menagerie.' and don't get killed, ok?"
It was getting hard for her to stay on the ground as her pearl lead her back to her ship, but to get back to her ship they had to pass in front of the gem temple.
She stopped, which wasn't smart considering time was of the essence, but she had to. She'd seen canons similar to that, in her mother's armada.
"Where did you get a light canon?!" The Diamond snapped, granules of sand scraping against her skin.
"It's Rose's!" The stout Amethyst shouted over the now howling wind.
"Please work. C'mon Activate! Go! Please! Everyone's counting on you, you can't just be useless." Steven whined, his fist pounding uselessly against the metal weapon.
Mia took a deep breath, not often did she help Crystal gems but the fact that her brother's lives were in danger but this in extreme circumstances.
"C'mon, if every porkchop were perfect, we wouldn't have hotdogs! I know you can do ah!" The canon unlocked, ready to fire but un-aimed.
Steven and his crystal gems struggled to hold up the weapon, and Mia ordered her diamond to aid in the battle. Lightening bubbled inside her form, and she was ready to send this Redeye back to Homeworld.
As a loud, almost deafening hum came from the pink canon, the daughter of Yellow diamond put her hands on the sides, readying the weapon to not only fire a burst of Rose's light, but some of her own. This was her planet, not technically, but still, she lived here, she had friends here, and maybe a bit of family, and she would protect it no matter the costs.
In a burst of peach toned light, the Redeye exploded to millions of tiny pieces, scattering into the ocean to the edges of the town.
She didn't stick around to wait for congratulations, The hybrid sprinted across the beach back to where her Palanquin lay lopsided. She pulled open the doors and looked at her younger brothers, a breathless question leaving her. "Are you guys ok?!"
They chuckled uneasily and both slowly crawled out. "Y-yeah... I think so anyways..." Aden said unsurely.
"That was p-pr-pretty cool!" Zack said shakily. His eyes of brown sparkling with adventure. Mia heaved a sigh of great relief and pushed her palanquin upright. She ruffled their ebony hair and guided them into the palanquin to take them home for the evening before she had to return to the grind of lessons.
"Why in the grand authority's name would Yellow Diamond shoot down one of the ships sent to find and rescue her?!" A Peridot yelled, pacing frantically at the helm of a hand ship.
"I don't know. She's a Diamond she can do what ever she wants." A burly Jasper replied, rolling her ember eyes at the frantic green stone.
The green gem with her stone instated on her forehead continued to panic and rant, but the tiger gem tuned her out and looked to the planet on their scanners. It was where she had fought titanic wars their all for the sole purpose of serving her Diamond. Maybe Yellow Diamond had found residual rebels and was taking her sweet time in destroying them. The orange gem knew that's what she would do, especially to Rose quartz.
Well, that uh took longer than expected...!
Frankly I did take a bit of a summer break to spend time with family and stuff.
So, Does Mia have a softer side? Why does she hate her father so? How does she have brothers? When will she meet the other diamonds? Oh, ho, ho, ho! So many questions so little answers!
Just you wait, a new chapter will be up (hopefully before next month or in the next two months) Soon!
