Chapter Twenty Two: Holograms
She sat back in her chair, smiling at her screen.
The holograms were in place, fully-functional, and had the proper AI.
Aventurine checked the other three – well, two – and sighed when the test ran through, a "READY" sign on the log.
She heard the door slide behind her.
"I suspect you've ran tests, checked their intelligence, and made sure they can summon their weapons..?"
Aventurine smiled at her. "Yes, ma'am."
"Good." With that, Yellow Diamond left the room, a satisfied look on her face.
…
She looked at her hands and spoke in a robotic voice.
"I am back. But what is this? I do not feel... real."
She summoned her weapon. "I do not recall any memories aside from the fact that I was defeated. ...Why? Why am I here?"
She swung it around, smashing into the wall.
"Oops," she said, as if her words were empty and meant nothing.
Of course, she'd have to practice before fighting these clods.
For a second time, that is.
And this time, she wouldn't fail.
She WILL crush them, all of them.
