"It's time." A stern voice said in anger and a hint of importance.
"I know it's time, but could you please give her one more chance?!" A voice recognized to be Lapis Lazuli's cried.
"Why should I? It's about time she died..." The voice wondered off.
"Let me just... talk to her. Just one last time." Lapis begged. She looked up at the orange gem known as Jasper.
"Fine. Five minutes." Jasper replied.
Lapis ran down to the dungeon. She ran to the cell which held her best friend. The orange gem sat there. You could see burns and cuts on her from training.
"Pazzy?" Lapis got closer to the cell. She didn't want to touch it.
"L-lapis?" Topaz turned around. "What are you doing here? It's soon time for me to end." She got closer to Lapis.
"Jasper said I could come down for five minutes. The question is: What are you doing here?" Lapis asked.
"I lost the training battle to Quartz. It proves I'm weak. So weak gems get destroyed. I belong here anyway." Topaz sighed.
"This doesn't sound like the Topaz I know! I'm getting you out of here!" Lapis started forming her wings. She balled them up into fists.
"Lappy! You'll get hurt!" Topaz cried.
Lapis made her water fists hit the cell. They bounced off. "Maybe... Wait! You can teleport. Try using your teleportation powers." Lapis suggested. She stared at her best friend with hope in her eyes.
"My powers won't work..." Topaz said depressed.
"Just try it!" Lapis urged.
"Fine." Topaz stood up. She tried teleporting. There was a bright flash of light. Topaz still stood in her cell. "Told ya."
"Hmmm." Lapis was thinking of ideas. Then she got one. "Fusion! We could fuse!"
"There isn't enough room for dancing though." Topaz pointed out.
"Yeah right... Maybe we could dance our own little dances and touch so we can fuse! Let's try it!" Lapis smiled at Topaz.
"Alright..." Topaz smiled weakly back at her friend.
Topaz started spinning slowly and weakly. Since her cell is small, there wasn't that much room. Her gem began glowing.
Lapis spun faster than Topaz. She did a bunch of twirls. Her gem lit up.
"Touch... NOW!" Lapis yelled. Topaz stuck her finger out through one of the holes. Lapis touched it with her finger. They did a pinky swear and they began to fuse.
Lapis and Topaz somehow managed to fuse. It was a miracle.
Before the fusion could even figure out what she was called, she started splitting. Lapis and Topaz went flying.
"I'm out! It worked Lappy!" Topaz cheered.
"Told ya, Paz. What were we even called?" Lapis asked.
They both said it in unison. "Diamond."
"Lets get out of here." Topaz said. She summoned her nunchucks and made a hole in the wall.
"Agreed." Lapis made her water wings and grabbed Topaz. They flew out the hole into the city.
Jasper, who heard the noise, came running down. She forgot about Lapis and Topaz. When she seen the hole, she was mad. But when she seen that Topaz was missing, she was furious.
"Agh! No!" Jasper yelled down into her communicator. "This is Jasper. I just heard a loud bang. Topaz Gem- 3,689 has escaped with a Lapis Lazuli Gem-243. I need backup immediately. There should be notices up and around so other Gem Guards can see that they are on the lose." Jasper hung up.
Backup was going to be there any minute. "Yellow Diamond is going to be so mad at me..." Jasper muttered to herself.
