Chapter 1: The Beginning

"Please my Diamonds," spoke a female gem; anxiety promonet in her voice "you can't terminate him for something so simple like this." she added " his control gear may have malfunctioned."

"Enough of this useless nonsense Granite!" commanded Yellow Diamond; rage very prominent in her voice. " This Obsidian is a criminal and must be treated as such."

" He has disobeyed orders, destroyed allied gems and attempted to rebel against the Diamond Authority, he must answer for is crimes." interjected White Diamond, backing up Yellow as the trial continued. All but Blue Diamond spoke, all she did was agree with what her sisters had said and had no additional words.

" I only disobeyed your orders because they were corrupt and unjust. I did what I had to do in order to save the innocents of that world." roared Obsidian as gem guards did their best to hold him back. " You're the one who must be answering for your crimes, you've only been using us to slaughter innocent life forms just for your own gain."

" Enough of this!" interrupted Yellow Diamond, causing all but Obsidian to shake in fear. " You're a traitor to your own kind, your fate has been decided, you will be shattered for your crimes!" she added as all gems frozen in fear, never seeing their leader act so furiously.

Then without any warning Granite had spoken out " Why must he be shattered for something so simple?" " Yes, while he may have went against your orders, But that doesn't give you proper reason to destroy him!" she shouted

" Then if you wish to defend this criminal, you will share in his fate as well, you will be shattered as well." said White diamond.

But then, without any sort of warning, Obsidian had broke from his restraints and charged towards the Diamonds and with a strong fist, delivered a solid uppercut to Yellow Diamond. As Yellow diamond had fallen to the ground and her sisters had went to her aid, Obsidian had grabbed Granites hand and ran and started to run towards the nearest ship they could find.

Once they had reached a ship, Obsidian had pulled Granite aside. "Do you think you can fly this thing?" he asked keeping an eye out for guards. But Granite just stood in shock, still trying to comprehend what had happened. " well can you?" he added as he starts to hear the guards marching towards them.

"Y-y-yea, I think I can" Granite said, finally spanning back to reality. " If I get to the control room then I might be able to get it going." she added.

" Well that's good enough for me, hurry up and get on board, I'll hold off the guards until we're ready." said Obsidian as he turned away from granite and face many Quartz soldiers, each drawing their weapons. But Obsidian stood strong and unfazed.

From what Obsidian had noticed, he counted about 200 Soldiers. But he charged at them nonetheless, no weapon, no armor, just a straight attack. The fight wasn't much for Obsidian, the gaps in their strength was evident. As he finished with the first wave, a second came and was double of the previous. But Obsidian had beaten them just the same.

The waves came one after another and each of them were taken down by Obsidian. Though as he fought his power and strength were slowly being drained; becoming weaker and weaker as each wave became larger and larger. Obsidian was hoping that Granite would start the ship soon because he didn't know how much longer he could hold out. Just was he was halfway through the wave of soldier, he heard the roar of the ship engines, feeling a side of relief. Just as he went to jump on the ship, a Quartz soldier had managed to land a strong slash across his chest, cutting deep.

" Punch it!" shouted Obsidian as Granite pushed the engines to full power. As the ship had began to leave the atmosphere, Yellow Diamond had ordered the ship to be shot down and an energy blast had been fired at the ship, crippling it causing it to lose altitude and destroying the manual controls. Scabbling to fix the ship, Granite was frantic to find a way to regain altitude. The only option she could find was the autopilot and the warp drive. Without thinking she she switched the autopilot and put in random coordinates to the warp drive and blasted off into unknown space. When she felt they were far enough from homeworld, she rushed down to the corridor, where Obsidian had been resting.

" Oh no Obsidian, are you alright?" asked Granite as she knelt down to see if he was okay. She wouldn't know how to feel if the one who tried so hard to protect her would die right before her eyes.

" Yeah I'm fine, I just need to rest." said Obsidian in a weak voice. As he sat there Granite moved his hands away from his wound, she was shocked at the sheer size of his wound. The thought that this never would have happened if he wasn't trying to protect her.

"I'm sorry… I'm so sorry Obsidian" cried Granite, she felt horrible for doing this to him. " If it wasn't for my mistake and slothfulness starting the ship, you wouldn't be so hurt." she added

" Don't say that, I got to caught up in the fight the i should've." said Obsidian with a slight chuckle.

"But I couldn't even save you at your trial and but you tried your best to protect me, even though you betrayed the diamonds, even though you're injured , you still wanted to protect me." she continued to cry. "...why…"

"It's because you wanted to protect me, you were the only one who ever showed me any compassion, I've always been treated like a freak or a weapon, but you… you wanted to protect me." Obsidian said as his voice began to weaken in tone. " so… thank … you." an with that Obsidian's body had burst into a cloud of dust and light, leaving a piece of obsidian fall into Granites hands. All granite could do is hold the stone close to her and cried as the ship flew through uncharted space. "Thank you Obsidian." she cried.
