A/N:
Lessee... I said I'd still be making introductions to ya'll, right? Alright. Welp. I only came into this series after Chille Tid aired. Like seriously, I watched in order because I was curious about the series after seeing some artists I follow mention it, and then I get up to Chille Tid right after it airs, and life was unfortunate after that. XD I'm quite dedicated to the series even though I've been with it for a relatively short time though.
Alright then, story time. It occurred to me that I never described my gem babies' uniforms, didn't really have the chance while they were being held though, but now they're free! Depending on your definition of the word. You'll see what I mean in upcoming chapters. Anyway, sit back, R&R, and most importantly, ENJOY!
As the two carbon gems were transferred, Lonsdaleite finally had the chance to look at Graphite's new form for herself. Her sister's hair seemed longer, still as wild and feathery as when she first formed. She had taken a uniform of sorts, similar to those who had contained them, sans diamonds. A grey uniform covered her, a tight collar up her neck, and sleeves which made their way down to her wrists. Waist down was a little different though, taking on black down to her heels which were a silver stirrup, nearly matching her natural form.
Lonsdaleite herself had taken a new form, even without her injuries. She left her gem exposed as her collar reached down in a v-shape. She took on no sleeves, letting her arms stay exposed. The pattern over her waist was a rich bistre as were the boot forms she took, while her legs took a deep goldenrod to match her top.
The facility they had been contained in was still on-planet of the two gems' formation point. It was rather difficult for Lonsdaleite to tell where they had been transported anyway, seeing as how they were contained so suddenly. Every experience was alien to the two now, finally being able to take in their surroundings. That gem who had freed them, Lazulite, wasn't the only gem in the group after they had left the guards behind. Other gems which seemed to be in similar situations to the sisters also joined them as well.
They had been escorted to a warp pad large enough to accommodate the large group, receiving little-to-no explanation of what exactly they were freed for. The warp stream was a disorienting experience for the new gems. Graphite in particular hat trouble keeping her bearings, nearly spinning out of the stream on a few occasions. The older gems were unamused.
"Having some trouble there, shorty?" Lazulite teased, grabbing the young gem's arm to pull her back down and try steadying her.
"I-I'm not that short!" Graphite whined. Not nearly compared to some truly small gems, but she was still one of the smallest of the bunch at this moment. Meanwhile, Lonsdaleite towered over everyone, a little disoriented herself, but not willing to let it show. Graphite reached a hand behind her neck as she lightly brushed her hair back, resting her fingers upon the gemstone which rested there. "This is all just so new and… so amazing."
"Oh great." The black gem which had stayed by Lazulite's side, spoke out. She glowered down at the smaller gem. Her hair was cut short, brushed over to the left side of her head, her arms exposed with dark gloves that reached up to the mid forearm. Her uniform only a shade lighter than the rest of her body, and deep stone which stood exposed above the garb, over the center of her sternum. "You decided to recruit two hatchling gems along with all the others." She addressed the blue gem by her side. "Watch them get shattered since they probably don't know a thing about their weapons or abilities…"
"Obsidian," Lazulite started as the warp finished and they appeared at the planet's hub. Though the other gem was taller than herself, Lazulite pressed forth, making sure her authority was known. "Are you questioning my judgement?"
Obsidian's lip twitched in irritation. "You might be able to fight, but how can I not question your judgement when you keep returning with weak gems that never last."
Lonsdaleite fell down upon the obsidian gem, seeming to take the matter quite personally. She grabbed the gem's collar, lifting her up to her own great eye level. "I am not weak." She stated, letting the warrior drop.
Obsidian never flinched the whole time she was at Lonsdaleite's mercy. She'd seen much worse, or so she believed. When she was let go, all she did was brush off her shoulders, not at all concerned for the safety of her exposed gemstone. "Well, perhaps one good thing came out of this mess." She smirked before casting her gaze over the rest of the crowd, letting her expression fall once more. "One thing." She added while a look of disgust crossed her face as Graphite came into view, shuffling behind her barrier of Lonsdaleite and nervously wringing her hands.
"Well if you're done harassing my recruits…" Lazulite spoke up, breaking the tension as she made her trek over to one of the smaller warps. She looked longingly over at the great homeworld warp, sitting proudly above the others. "As much as I'd like to visit Homeworld again," She sighed, "We're not quite that lucky yet." She waved the other gems forth, though Obsidian was already at her side ahead of the others. "Unfortunately for all of you, that's a special privilege."
She briefly glanced to Obsidian, receiving a nod before the new warp activated, bringing back all those off-key feelings to the two young gems. "Just because I let you all out of those prisons," she addressed all the gems, "doesn't mean you can all just walk away. Me, Obsidian, Zircon, and you'll meet her soon enough, we were all in your position once."
The arrived at their destination. Metal sheets formed a path through a harsh desert environment. Sand blowing through gusts of wind, a lone settlement visible out in the distance by the way it reflected light from this world's sun as three small moons traveled their way across the yellow sky. "Welcome to your new home!" Lazulite beamed, already on her way down the dusty path with Obsidian following closely behind.
Lonsdaleite looked around at the other confused gems there with her and Graphite, her sister gem clinging to her arm at the current moment. She was still debating with herself fates worse than sitting around in those cells of theirs. Clearly, the other gems surrounding her had seen much worse, by the ways they took in their environment. She let out a small huff after making up her mind on this seeming fate of hers, dragging her smaller companion along with her as she made way after the gem that had given her this freedom. The others could run if they wished. Their fates had no effect on her own.
A/N:
Honestly, I have no idea what this planet is, I just wanted environments, sheesh. And I've always believed my strong points are dialogue, not description. Bleh... and I've been writing for 9 years. :P
Anywho! Things will pick up come next chapter. A lot more action for sure, and we might get to learn more about Graphite and Lonsdaleite's abilities? Hint hint. XD
Right, so once again (and I will ask this every chapter, even if I have gotten contact), if you want a gemsona featured in this fic, contact me. I'd love to learn about them, and I always need some extra characters to use in the story. It's difficult to come up with a giant cast all by yourself XD
Thank you for reading, be sure to leave a review, maybe follow/favorite if you really enjoyed it. An author always likes knowing what their readers think.
This is your tired (because I've pulled an all-nighter) Squish, wishing you all a lovely day!
