a/n: So uh, the next main character is being introduced here..

Theyre all sarcastic little shits (well, besides Obsidian, I have different plans for her..)

.

The screen glowed a dark red color, the word 'error' popping up every second.

"No! No! No! This cant be right! It cant have failed when we've gotten so far! No!" The small gem gem ran around frantically, only a blur in the flashing red light.

The door the room opened, the bright yellow light nothing to the increasing redness.

"Peridot! Whats going on?!"

The green gem stopped running around, her green eyes wide from beneath her visor. "The experiment failed! Its-"
"What?"

Olivine raced over the the machine, frantically on the keyboard, teeth gritted.

"This cant be right!"
"I don't know whats going on! The system waves are irregular! It could kill someone! Not-"
"That's enough," Olivine stopped her typing, the words on the screen had changed from 'error' to 'Access Denied.' She gritted her teeth, slamming her fist against the keyboard, before turning around once more: "We have to contact Rose.. Maybe she knows how to fix this.."

Peridot nodded, her wide eyes full of fear. "O-okay! I'll get her-"

"Wait, no! If you can, get all of them!"

The Peridot squeaked, looking at her leader, before racing away.

Olivine sighed, wiping a hand over her sweaty light brown skin. "It wasn't a failure.. It was working.."

She didn't want to believe it, but it was reality.

Her Peridot assistant was new to this planet and to this work, so she couldn't blame her for not making the right call. But... She groaned, leaning her head against the wall.

"Someone has taken control of the machine.. And it isn't someone from our side.."
She looked up, red eyes wide, "This isn't going to be easy. Darkness has fallen opon us..."

.

A person leapt from side to side, sure to keep to the shadows,
Numerous gems passed its location, unaware of the gem under their feet.

The gem was surprised, she was bright orange in color, after all, a sharp contrast to the darkness and the dull colors around her.

Ha! Guess I'm better at stealth then those puny Homeworld soldiers!

She continued to leap through the shadows, a smirk etched on her face.

Almost there! Sooner the better!

She looked around quickly, before jumping into a secluded ditch, seeing as it was empty around that certain location. She quickly pulled out a screen, typing a passcode on it before setting it up.
"Topaz reporting to Rose Quartz.. I repeat, Topaz repor-"
"Shut up Topaz! We get it!"
The shadow, seemingly named Topaz, grinned, before speaking into her radio.
"Gee thanks, Crystal! Still being a little bi-"
"Topaz, I suggest you have some news of what's going on?"
She chuckled a bit as the all too familiar voice of Rose Quartz sounded, disrupting their usual banter.
"Not yet! The gems are the same as always.. Its unnerving.."
A sigh sounded from the other end, "Okay. But can you check the kindergartens? I want to see what gems they're making and to see if they would like to join.."
"You got it, Rose! I'll call back after!"
"Alright-"
"And Crystal?"
"What?" The louder, more obnoxious voice sounded from the other end, a sharp contrast to Roses soft, melodic one.
"The Crystals here can actually summon their weapon."
A screech sounded on the other end, before Topaz cut it off.
She loved toying with the other gem.
But that wasn't the point, she had a mission to accomplish!
She looked out at the streets of home world, grimancing at the dirty remains.
Gem shards littered the ground, being stomped on by the numerous quartzes that roamed the streets, their normal sneers on their faces.
Topaz sighed, before her face contorted to one of disgust.
This place was WAY different than earth.
She leapt away, keeping to the shadows once more.
Ah, stealth. Her specialty.

She passed a huge, brightly lit building. She narrowed her eyes, trying to rad the scribbles on the side

The stadium, huh? Thought it would be bigger..

No security guards, no lines, no smaller gems being reprimanded for not following orders..
The stadium was supposed to be well kept, with security and all.
Huh, topaz thought, surveying the empty front of the building. Must be a good match going on.
She shrugged. This matter didn't concern her
Now let's get this done so I can bother Crystal!
The door to the building opened, catching Topaz by surprise
Ah, shit-
A Citrine walked out, throwing a gemstone on the street. (obviously for a Quartz to smash, or any other gem)
"Worthless little rat.. Shouldn't have gotten her from the recycling hub.."
Topaz blinked in confusion as the Citrine turned heel and went back inside, leaving the gemstone on the street.
She ran over, grabbing it in her gloved hands.
..An Obsidian.
She touched the smooth surface, feeling around the rough edges.
Huh.. I wonder who you are., what you look like
She looked around quickly, surveying her surroundings, before quickly storing the gem in her front pocket.
She'll see what she may get out of this
Hey, its worth a try.

White. Thats all obsidian saw
She knew where she was. At this point, she was here every few weeks.
She had retreated into her gem.
How.. How am I not dead yet?
Citrine surely would've shattered me by now..
She could shrug, or move in any way. Not until she rebuilt her form.
She didn't care anymore, why should she? She was just a worthless gem in this little world?
..she didn't know, honestly.
But she didn't want to face the outside.
Time is referred to as nothing here, as there's nothing to stop you from staying there. Or actually telling you what time it was.
She liked being like this, it was quiet. And she was along to herself
..I wonder if Citrine will sell me?
It was likely, but there was also a high chance she'd be sent to the recycling factory..
She didn't want to think about that.
..but she was getting bored.
Why not start reforming?

Topaz sighed, thoroughly bored.
I forgot how boring this place was.
She leaned back against the rock in the kindergarten, closing her eyes
Doesn't anything else happen here?
Nope. Nothing.
May as well get to work..
"Topaz to Rose Quartz-"
"Topaz y-"
Rose quickly cut off Crystal, who was still pissed after their last chat.
"Did you find anything?"
Topaz shivered, feeling something not right around here.
Topaz nodded, "Ya, lots of gems are here-"
The feeling came again, it was like someone was watching her.
She looked around, scanning to make sure no one had heard their chat..
Only the shadows and rocks were accompanying her
She shrugged, before turning back to her conversation
"There's Carnelians, all kinds of Onyxs, Azurites, and Jets are the supervisors.. And I saw a Citrine, not here. Awhile ago."
She didnt tell Rose of the gem she had found, besides, she would probably appreciate another warrior for the rebellion anyway.
She fingered the gem in her pocket, it was still cold.
..still aren't reforming huh?
"I wonder what you look like.." She whispered..
It had been 3 days. Which was an eternity for Topaz. (She wasn't the most patient of gems. By FAR)
Homeworld was weird.
Pearls were held with their masters, obedient, mindless.
Unlike Roses pearl, who actually scared her. (Damn the stars, she had seen her poof 6 gems in under a minute?)
(But no one knew that she was scared of her, thank the stars)
"Good.. Thanks Topaz, you can come home now."
"No problem, Rose. Thanks."
She sighed as she turned the connection off, annoyed.
Now I have to being that long trek home..
She looked up, seeing the stars twinkling brightly in the night sky. She smiled softly.
So Vega's looking down on me tonight? The stars are so much prettier here than earth..
Too bad it was ruined by this madly run place.

It was nice, the quiet of this place (it was the abandoned side of the kindergarden, after all.)

She smiled slightly closing her orange eyes.
The air shifted beside her. Her eyes opened as she quickly jumped back, pulling out her weapon, a ninja star.

A medium sized grey gem stood beside her, blue diamond insignia on her 'projection'

The small gem looked up at her, gaze unwavering, her blue eyes narrowed.

"Who are you? And what are you doing here?"

A/n: This was supposed to be another characters intro.. but.. I had to rewrite the whole chapter
