Topaz walked out of Homeworld's Command Center. She glanced around. Everything had changed. Tall skyscrapers that once were good for seeing the city were now sliced in half and wrecked. The sidewalk, once white, and paved with Gems' names was now burnt from fire and destruction. The sky wasn't blue anymore, it was red with smoke. You could hear cries of help in the distance.
Topaz sighed. She had just came out of a meeting with Yellow Diamond. She was soon at that age where she was suppose to be trained to fight. The orange gem walked down the sidewalk. Everyone excepted her to be like Jasper. She didn't want to live up to that exceptation.
"Wonder where everyone is..." Topaz muttered to herself. She looked down at her wrist. The small gem had broken her watch tech earlier that day. It wasn't working correctly, so she broke it. "No way to keep in touch with Jasper. Good. No way to keep in touch with Lapis. Bad!" Topaz whispered.
Topaz walked to the battlefield. She liked going there. It was peaceful and nobody came here. Then there were the broken and shattered gems lying everywhere. That's one of the things Topaz didn't like about it. It hurts her to look at them, but she has to.
"Why? Why won't this stupid watch work?!" A voice whined.
"Is that.. Peridot? She's supposed to be getting trained to work the gemships. It better not be her." Topaz whispered.
Topaz got closer to the whining voice. "Stupid watch. It was obviously made by some clods! Ugh!" The voice got louder.
"Yup. It's Peridot." Topaz whispered. She got closer to The green gem.
"Hey... I think I got it to work! What?! Now it's completely broken!" Peridot yelled with rage.
"Hey Peridot." Topaz said.
"Who's there?!" Peridot turned around. "Oh,it's just you. You're Topaz Gem 3,689. What do you want?!"
"First off, nice to see you too. And don't call me Topaz Gem 3,689. Okay. Second, you should be with Yellow Diamond." Topaz cocked her hip.
"Whatever. And Yellow Diamond knows that I'm not working. She's actually really nice. You should be training anyway! We need more useless gems like you to fight..." Peridot muttered to herself.
"I just came out of Yellow Diamond's office. Why are you being such...a...CLOD? Huh?" Topaz shot back.
"I can't get my stupid watch to work..." Peridot said. She was still muttering.
"Oh, let me help you." Topaz said.
"Pfft. Yeah like you would know how to work one." Peridot glanced at both of Topaz's wrists. "And besides, you aren't wearing one. So you don't know how they work."
"I broke mine earlier. So I did have one. I do know how they work." Topaz got up on the rock beside Peridot.
"Get away from me!" Peridot shrieked.
Topaz grabbed Peridot's wrist and took off the watch tech. She flipped it over. Topaz sighed. Peridot turned the watch off. Topaz turned it on. It started making a starting up noise.
"Fixed it." Topaz said handing it back to Peridot. "You had it turned off..."
"Don't touch my stuff! And I knew it was off..." Peridot glared at Topaz. "I must leave to contact Yellow Diamond." Peridot then started shouting into her watch as she flew off with her helicopter hand propeller thingy.
"Wow. She's a piece of work!" Topaz laughed. "Finally peace and quiet."
"TOPAZ! COME ON!" A stubborn voice yelled into the distance.
"Jasper..." Topaz whispered. She stood up and walked towards Jasper. "Yes Jasper?"
"Yellow Diamond's Center now! You weren't training!" Jasper barked.
Topaz sighed once more. Now she was off to get yelled by the leader herself for not training. "On it." She replied.
