The ship skyrocketed out of Homeworld. Because the ship was going so fast, Tourmaline and Onyx weren't able to say anything and had to brace for impact. The only thing Tourmaline felt right now was rage. She was angry that Onyx just put her in the ship and abruptly left, let alone leaving Charoite's body behind. 'I COULD'VE STILL FIXED HER!' She angrily thought. But the thing she was angry about the most was that she had taken her away from her home. She can't go back now; Those Quartz's could kill her. She didn't think Onyx would make her leave though; Onyx could've fought them off. She's her guard after all.
Tourmaline was too mad to even look at her.
The ship crashed and landed, leaving surprisingly not too much of an impact. Onyx and Tourmaline were knocked all over the place from the impact. The dark gem coughed and opened the doors, which dirt came pouring in. "We must've landed on earth…" Onyx breathed. Tourmaline didn't say anything, she didn't even look at her guard. "Ugh, There's gotta be a way out of this…" The dark colored gem groaned as she slushed some of the dirt out of the doorway. She grunted and shape shifted her hand larger, not even knowing what she's doing. It's not like she cared anyways, she just wanted her and her gem to get out.
Tourmaline was sitting in the corner of the ship, Not acknowledging the fact that Onyx was trying to get them out. "Are you gonna help me, Tourmaline?" She asked. The mint green gem just crossed her arms and looked away. Onyx brushed it off and kept pushing the dirt out of the way until all of it was gone. She shape shifted her hand back to normal afterwards.
"Okay…Okay I think I see an opening..!" Onyx said as she pointed to the whole from above. "Come on!" She called out as she looked back at Tourmaline. She huffed and stayed put. "Er..Come on!" Onyx said as she picked up Tourmaline by the waist and sprinted out of the ship.
"H-Hey! Let me go!" Tourmaline commanded as she struggled to get out of the dark colored gem's grasp. "I can jump super high you know!" She reminded. Onyx didn't listen. "I'm trying to get us out of here!" Onyx said as she jumped from each side of the walls. "You're leaving the ship behind?!" "Well how else are we gonna get it out?!"
"I don't know! Shape shift your hand?!"
"I can't pull it out! The dirt is too thick!" The two bickered as Onyx struggled to get them out of the hole. 'Ugh what is her problem? She's acting more passive aggressive than usual..' Onyx thought.
They soon reached the top. "I-I think we're here..!" Onyx said exhausted, but relieved. Tourmaline didn't respond. The guard grunted as she tried to pull herself and her gem out of the hole. 'I'll just get Tourmaline out first…' She thought. Her arms were getting sore so she gripped the patch of grass she managed to get a hold of and threw Tourmaline back onto the surface. "What the?!" The former Homeworld aristocrat winced as she dusted some dirt off of her long gown. Onyx then managed to pull herself onto the surface despite how tired her arms were.
"You got dirt on my dress!" Tourmaline yelled, more harsh sounding then usual.
"I'm sorry!"
"Shut up! Just shut up will you?! ARGH!" The mint green gem yelled as she dug her fingers in her hair.
"Okay what is your problem?! I got us out of there!" Onyx questioned. 'Why is she so mad all of a sudden? I saved her from those Quartz's! She could've been shattered for crying out loud!' She thought. Tourmaline swiftly turned to Onyx.
"My problem… My problem?!" I'll tell you what my problem is you moron! My problem is that YOU took me away from my home, YOU took me away from my friend, and YOU took me away from my Diamond!" She coldly responded.
"Are you serious?! Those Quartz's were going to shatter you! What else was I supposed to do?!"
"I don't break that easily you twit! You could've fought off all of those stupid Quartz's! You are my guard after all! Start working like one!"
"And why do you even listen to White Diamond?! She's full of crap!" Onyx yelled.
"Why wouldn't I listen to her!? She's MY Diamond you idiot! She did everything for me and the other Tourmaline gems ever since we broke free from this measly planet's crust! And she's YOUR Diamond too! And just what makes you think you have any right to oppose her like that you stupid, insignificant waste of space?!"
Onyx snapped.
"SHE'S BEEN A FRAUD TO YOU! THAT'S WHY! SHE'S BEEN MESSING AND TOYING WITH YOU EVER SINCE DAY ONE!" She exploded out.
Tourmaline took a step back, shocked. "Wh-What are you talking about..?"
"THAT'S RIGHT! THE DIAMONDS ARE A FLUKE! ESPECIALLY OURS! THAT PLATINUM GEM WAS THRASHED TO EARTH BECAUSE OF HER! SHE THRASHED HIM HERE! SHE'S THE ONE WHO TOOK HIM AWAY! SHE KNEW FROM THE BEGINNING THAT CHAROITE HAD BEEN A TRAITOR TO BLUE DIAMOND'S COURT! HER AND WHITE DIAMOND'S WHOLE PLAN WAS TO HAVE THEM NOWHERE NEAR YOU! BECAUSE YOU COULD'VE BEEN HOMEWORLD'S DESTRUCTIVE NUKE! WHITE DIAMOND NEVER CARED ABOUT YOU AT ALL!" Onyx panted.
She doesn't recall the last time she raised her voice. She doesn't remember if she had EVER raised her voice before. That's how soft spoken she was until now. Now, here she is pointing out her gem's supposed goddess's flaws as if she never had any.
"N-No!..that can't be true…" The mint green gem trembled. "Wh-White Diamond's perfect…she always loved me…she'd never ever do that to me.."
Onyx sighed, "Tourmaline, I heard all of it. She was talking to Blue Diamond through her log and I was right outside her room and I heard everything." She coldly replied.
"Shut up! No she's not! She didn't do those things! She never would!" Tourmaline denied as tears started to flow down her cheeks.
"I'm telling you the truth. You think I'd lie to you?!"
"No! No you're not telling the truth! You're just another stupid Onyx gem! What makes you think you know anything huh?! All you guards are just simpletons!" Tourmaline replied back aggressively.
"WELL I GUESS I KNOW MORE THAN YOU! YOU UNGRATEFUL, SELFISH TRAMP!"
She immediately regretted saying those things. What was she even doing? Why is she arguing with her? What's even the point of this argument? Tourmaline was taken back at what Onyx, her own guard said.
"T-Tourmaline I'm-
She was interrupted by Tourmaline slapping her across her cheek, right where her gem was. Onyx fell and landed onto the patch of grass from the impact. The pain from her slap stung. She weakly held her cheek and felt her gem, which was luckily not cracked. She looked at Tourmaline in fear. Tourmaline then frantically looked at her gem and realized what she had done. Onyx slowly got up but was feeling terrified.
She panted and ran off.
"O-Onyx wait..! I-I'm sorry! I didn't mean to!" Tourmaline cried. But it was no use. Her guard was terrified of her now. Onyx kept running and running, Tourmaline tried going after her but then thought about it.
'O-Onyx…' She thought. She fell to her knees at the thought of her. Up until now, She had realized how much Onyx had done for her. All of her bullshit and rudeness she put onto Onyx. Her selfishness, her rudeness, her attitude, everything. And yet, she went along with it. She cared about her just like any of her other friends would.
"Onyx…Onyx…" She sobbed.
"What if I never see her again..?"
Onyx kept running and running. Next thing she knew, She had no idea where she even was. She didn't care, She just kept running without even thinking. Onyx was about to look back, But she bumped into something.
She looked over to what she bumped into. "I-I'm sorry..! P-Please don't hurt me..!" She pleaded. "R-Relax relax..! I'm not gonna hurt you! Why don't I just help you up..?" A voice asked.
Whatever it was helped Onyx up. Onyx looked at the thing she bumped into. It didn't look anything like a gem but it had some sort of physical form like one although it was sort of smaller than her. She took a few steps back, still frightened. "Wh-What are you…?" She asked.
"What am I? W-Well uh…"
"I'm Steven."
