This was it. The end.
What a horribly disrespectful way for an Agate to go!
As Holly Blue followed her massive leader to Pink's previous chamber, she wondered what her shattered remains would be harvested for.
Perhaps, she would become a weapon of some sort? At least she would be able to get her aggression out again- even if she was in constant pain and agony.
She really did hope her shards would be used for something significant. She rather not become a trivial object...like a power source or door opener...
"AGATE!" Blue Diamond's sudden booming voice made Holly jump in surprise!
They had arrived in Pink's room. Holly was so distracted with her own thoughts, she had failed to notice they had reached their destination.
As the Agate looked sadly up at her leader, she gave a Diamond salute and waited for her ultimate demise.
Blue Diamond glared daggers at her. The anticipation was almost worse than the conclusion itself-simply unbearable! Why didn't she just shatter her and get it over with already?!
The Diamond spoke: "NOW, there are only three conclusions I can assume with that horrendous, taboo, OBCENE sight I just witnessed- ONE: you are a traitorous rebel to the Diamond Authority; TWO: you have absolutely NO respect for Pink's legacy; or THREE..."
The leader calmed down a bit before continuing: "-you have lost control over my sister's Amethysts and Jaspers. I would like to ASSUME it's the third issue."
Holly Blue looked up at her leader, nodding in agreement- unnaturally silent.
"-that's what I thought." Blue Diamond sighed. "I wouldn't think you to do something so...OFFENSIVE after all your years of loyal service."
"Y-yes! Yes my Diamond! I'm glad you understand..."
"Indeed. A shame. You were always so excellent at keeping my sister's Zoo pristine too. I do hate to do this-"
Holly Blue squinted in anticipation...
...
...
...
...nothing happened. The Agate opened an eye to an incredibly confused Diamond.
The blue monolith inquired: "Are...you quite alright Agate? You have the most odd look about you..."
"Y-you're not going to shatter me?"
"SHATTER you! Goodness no! You're just being reassigned!"
Holly heaved a sigh of relief. Before relaxing a bit. "Do excuse me my Diamond! You gave me quite a fright!"
The Diamond gave a rare smile. "Not to worry. I do not have as big of a temper as Yellow. I always give Gems trial before shattering. No- I was merely suggesting sending you to a site with a less...AGGRESSIVE group of Gems."
"My Diamond?"
"Yes...perhaps you are loosing your luster a bit..." as the Diamond scratched her chin, Holly Blue winced slightly at the comment.
The leader continued: "Fortunately, we have a newly created set of platoons that could benefit from a grand Agate such as yourself!"
Blue Diamond smiled. "Yes, yes. I do believe you will thrive from this transfer Agate! I am re-assigning you to the R-L3 Kindergarten!"
Holly Blue's face contorted from relief into absolute horror.
