Chapter 18: The Mission
Heavy metal footsteps echoed throughout the long hallway, she ran as fast as her legs could carry her, she took short breaths running towards two large crystal doors. She entered the room bursting through the large doors. She lost her balance going through, falling to the ground but she did not get up, she stayed on her knees and lowered her head to the ground her gem touched the cold room was very large and made of crystals. There was a large window opposite to the door. In its view you could see homeworld. In the center of the room laid a throne. On the throne a thin person who wore Dark clothes with a long yellow cape. She had long straight hair and eyes that could pierce your soul. . She sat cross-legged tapping the arm rest of the throne.
"Please forgive me for my intrusion, your highness. I have news of planet Earth that you should see." She waited for a response from the figure that sat on the throne. "Peridot, If this is a waste of my time- ", "I assure you-" she stopped, Peridot realised she had interrupted Yellow Diamond. She froze silent, shaking in fear. She listened as heels clicked on the floor getting louder and louder. Every second. She stared at the floor unable to move, the ground grew dark as Yellow Diamond overshadowed her. She felt a hand caress her cheek lifting her head slowly. Her eyes made contact with Yellow Diamonds she spoke calmly "If you ever interrupt me again..." she grasped Peridots gem between her index and thumb. She squeezed the gem causing pain to shoot through Peridots body; She cried in reaction. Yellow Diamond squeezed harder causing the gem to crack, it started with one thin line forming down the middle then branching out in multiple directions "Stop please, have mercy on me!" Peridot shouted.
"If you interrupt me again, I will personally make sure, you cease to exist...". She let go of the green gem. As she got up and strolled back to her throne. "Now, tell me, what was so important that you came barging into my throne room.", " T-the colossus that was sent to Earth has been destroyed-", "And this concerns me why?" Yellow Diamond responded sitting on her throne. "By g-gems..." Peridot stated. Yellow Diamond raised an eyebrow. "Show me footage..." she commanded.
Peridot rose and her gem glowed despite being on the verge of breaking. A large hologram screen appeared and a video played. Through the colossus point of view they saw Alexandrite being tossed around the desert viciously, until the gem unused revealing Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl. They laid on the ground. As the colossus continued on its mission. The video cut to black at another footage was shown. It approached a large hill with lights beaming from below on a beach. Once it reached the hill a shield formed stopping its attack. "That symbol..." Yellow Diamonds eyes grew thin as she watched. The battle continued as It attacked a pink bubble repeatedly, time passed as it was defeated by a large green creature and the same fusion from before.
The footage cut once again. And another started, "This is what I wanted to show you." She said playing a footage.
The colossus towered over a gem inside a crater. Suddenly its vision was raised upward, with a large figure crashing into its gem before cutting to black. "What was I supposed to see..." she said sounding annoyed. "This..." Peridot said. The footage rewinded slowly to the point where the colossus head was pulled zoomed in and enhanced the image. An orange gem standing behind a small human was shown in the distance. A gem laid where his left eye was. "So... it's still alive? Even after all this time... is this all you wanted to show me? How goes the search for the Sergemtes?" Yellow Diamond asked seeming to forget about the previous problem."...The Sergemtes fused itself in that small human..." Peridot stated.
Yellow Diamond eyed the small human, "This…Human has the Onyx gem...". Peridot watched her lord become anger. She turned her gaze to Peridot, She swore she could feel her gem crack even more. "I want you to head to Earth and retrieve this Human and Rose Quartz, by the looks of those videos, it seems there are a few soldiers from her army still alive, and on top of that Project Mineral has been restarted." Yellow Diamond tapped on the armrest again only this time a see-through pillar rose from the ground, Inside contained a orange crystal. "Take it." She commanded. Peridot did as she was told inspecting the new crystal, she asked "What it this?"
"It's a Transmitter and Amber is the receiver... I'll provide you with an escort, get the job done. Do I make myself clear?" She said giving Peridot a death stare. "Y-yes." She managed to mutter. she raced out of the throne room and closed the door behind her. She had her hands placed on the door as she caught her breath, her whole body was shaking and would not stop. She took a deep breath before running down the hallway to the docking bay to meet her escort, and start her mission. She saw a single ship in the shape of a hand parked. Someone one was next to the ship, Peridot approached the ship distinguishing the person's features.
An orange gem was located on her nose with red stripes on her skin and large white hair, she was leaning against the ship with her eyes closed. Peridot approached the rather large gem. "Are you my escort?" she asked still shaking from her encounter with Yellow Diamond. The tall gem responded "I'm Jasper, and yes I am your escort." She examined the green gem, "Pathetic…" she muttered before entering the ship, Peridot followed behind. The door closed and the ship drove off into space.
