Chapter 3 New Form

Miko's POV

It had been so long, maybe a week? A Month? A YEAR? I don't know, but it was a long time of them opening me up and closing me back up, tests that were painful, and just long lonely periods in my cell. It was too long, I needed to see the sky, the sun or a sun, I wanted to go home.

At this point had had gone numb to it, sure it was painful at points but I didn't resist it anymore. There were some points were I tried to escape but I'd just end up getting caught and tortured for my troubles. I had scars now from it, cuts, burns. But the worst was across my face, a deep claw like slash going diagonal and even blinding me in one eye. Not completely, but it was just colors now so I didn't focus on that eye.

I overheard Peridot not to long ago, saying soon they'd be ready to commence the main experiment. Whatever it is, I am going to hate it but I won't be able to stop it, no matter how hard I try. I sighed to myself, rubbing the top of shaved head, I felt the surgical scars from Moonstone and I only sighed.

I had no more in me to cry at this point.

The door opened and Peridot came in once more, I made no move nor said anything to her. She looked unfazed by it and commanded.

"Follow Me." I got up and with my head low I followed out. They knew I wasn't gonna try to escape, because they broke me and I know they have. My determination, my resolve is gone. I am simple a hollow shell.

We entered a new room, this one large with a great ship of blue made into the shape of hand floated there, with gems of all shapes, mostly blues, with some other colors going around. I stood amazed by the ship, it was like the size of the Nemesis or even bigger! Peridot continued on her way and stood on a platform, I stood behind her and the platform moved into the hand, phasing through the outer shell.

The rooms and halls were all blue tinted with pipes going everywhere, she kept pace in front of me heading with purpose to a deeper part of the ship to a large cargo hold I believe. It held a large machine with a drill bit on the end, standing on spider legs and a empty tube in the middle with a large crystal of red on top. Peridot scaled some stairs to reach the empty tube and opened a hatch on the side of it.

"In." She simple commanded, reluctantly I stepped in and she closed the hatch behind her. I watched as she descended from the platform and headed out the room. I was confused, what is this thing supposed to do? To say I was in there for a long time was the understatement of the year. I was so bored, nothing happened, but I could feel movement, must be the ship moving. But this was something that I knew was the calm before the storm.

A shaking is what woke me up this time, I was dazed before I focus my undamaged eye to see my surroundings changed. We stood on a planet I remember seeing from the pictures. It was Cybertron. I looked above to see the dead planet's moons in the vastness of space. I looked down to see Peridot along with others like her, as well as many others including the Diamonds themselves and Moonstone.

Peridot turned to the gathered gems, "As we all know, some time has passed and we all have been waiting for the main event. The true meaning behind Project Hybrid, to create a half gem half alien species breed. Since we know of a human and gem hybrid we will be doing something radically different. A three way hybrid of a gem, a human and a Cybertronian."

"Tell us Peridot, where is the Cybertronian?" Blue Diamond asked, her Pearl near her.

"Oh, since it is difficult to get a Cybertronian these days as they are all warriors that don't go down easily I took the liberty of gathering the genetic CNA from one of them back on Earth, which one I have no idea but it's place in the the drill bit to help the process." Peridot turned to a control panel with several other Peridot's manning it.

"Let us begin shall we, start the process." With that all of them began to pull levers and pushing buttons.

The gem began to glow on top and a blue glow came from below me, then a lightning bolt came down from the gem slamming into me and passing through me. I screamed in pain and agony as I felt myself liquify from the intensity, slowly I felt myself falling apart and soon the darkness took me.

No one's POV

The poor human girl, broken and defeated, melted into a liquid form with a small light in the center of it. The Gems looked on in fascination, it had been the equivalent of 5 earth months since they had captured the human and it was finally coming all together. Peridot nodded to her fellow colleges and one pushed a button and the drill started digging into the metallic surface of Cybertron. The drill met some resistance but it punched through and the combined material from all three sources seeped in the planet.

For a moment nothing happened, this moment turned into a minute, than two before five minutes were reached and Peridot became restless along with the others.

"You," She pointed to a Spinel, "Scan the depths, is the gem forming?"

She took out a device and scanned the area around them, "It isn't, it's dormant there is nothing."

Peridot began to sweat, Yellow Diamond spoke, "That means it will never form, this has failed Peridot."

Peridot turned to her diamond, "It's alright we can always try-"

"NO!" Yellow shouted making everyone cringe, "This has failed, obviously, and now this Project is shutdown. For your insolence in even suggesting this you will be shattered for wasting our time!"

"WHAT?! No my Diamond! Please give me another chance!" She was dragged away by the Citrine Guards and soon a distant shattering noise could be heard, the Diamonds headed back to there ships and headed back to Homeworld, leaving the injector where it stood.

Some Time Later…..(? POV)

I pushed and pushed before bursting out of my tomb, the let the air flow through me again. The cold winds whipped around me, I crawled out of the tomb I had been trapped in. The metallic surface was cold to the touch and as I stood I looked around me I could see a destroyed city in the distance.

I looked back to the shining metal beneath me to see my reflection.

I was a tall being, with grey skin and long black hair that reached just above my feet with a straight cut. My eyes were a deep red with one light pink due to the damage on my face, I wore a long black dress in a similar style of a black and white kimono that reached the ground and dragged a little.

And finally the most striking feature, the large black gem embed into my forehead that was diamond shaped.

I felt different thought, on the inside I could feel shifting gears and wires, I looked at my grey hand focusing on it before it shifted to reveal a blaster type weapon that when shot burst out a black bolt. I returned it to a hand before going over what I all had, it was amazing, I had the ability to shape shift into something without using my gem, which I have learned is a furious Japanese dragon or a human form.

There stupid experiment worked, I was reborn as I hybrid.

But what to call me? Oh that's it.

I am no longer Miko Nakadai or Subject-1 of the Hybrid Project.

I am Black Diamond.
