1Chapter 1-A Dark Experiment
Homeworld Alpha Kindergarden-Era 2
(Present Day)
The Alpha Kindergarten, birthplace of the most powerful gems in Homeworld's legions. Rumored birthplace of the Diamonds themselves, although noone could confirm this and none of them ever tried to find out. It had laid dormant for the last few millennia, considered barren and written off by the diamonds as they moved on to other kindergartens on far off worlds to grow their already vast forces.
This abandoned wasteland that reached deep within the planet, which for so long been disturbingly quiet and drowned in darkness, now rumbled and shook with a force that had not been felt by it's mighty walls in thousands of years. The rock crumbled and the injectors that had lay motionless now came crashing down to the deep floor of the kindergarten.
In a small control room that was abandoned save for a single peridot that was assigned to keep a watch on the, normally dead, kindergarten the alarms and sensors were going crazy. The peridot assigned to the room running around desperately trying to figure out what was happening, just before she could get on the communicator to report to the diamonds, she noticed that the emergence indicator was active on section RC1109-17.
"Emergence? Thats...impossible" she said, stunned at the sight of the indicator. She stepped on the warp pad and plugged the section serial number into the console. In an instant she was warped to the section. The rumbling was seriously intense here, but that wasn't what shook the peridot. The thing that shook her was the atmosphere, it felt...hot and extremely heavy..this feeling was unlike anything she had ever experienced. Even the most powerful gems she'd witnessed emerge had never created anything like this...it scared her.
Suddenly a glowing light began to shine out of a spot in the rock, the light formed into the shape of a humanoid figure. It was only as tall as a lapis but the light that glowed from it was black, this certainly was not a lapis. The peridot had no idea who this gem could be, or how long she had been laying dormant.
The light grew brighter and the rumbling intensified, it felt like homeworld would crack open at any moment from the stress on it's surface. The heat and pressure grew as the light did, the peridot shook with fear as she awaited the emergence of this new gem. All of a sudden the rock where the light was emerging split open and a fully formed gem came bursting from the hole.
As the gem landed in front of the peridot, she was able to finally see this unusual, impossible gem that had emerged from a dead kindergarten. She was tall, at least to peridot she was anyway, standing at around double her height. Her appearance modifiers took the form of a grey skirt and vest top with a white diamond at it's center, all of this covered by a long black trenchcoat which hung down to her ankles, completing the clothing with a set of black combat boots that came up halfway up her calfs.
The gem's hair was a deep black and flowed down to her lower back with a fringe covering her left eye, her right eye staring intensely down at the peridot below her. The peridot gulped before speaking "Report your gem type, use and modifications before reporting to your diamond" she said in a forced official tone, despite being scared out of her mind by the mere presence of this gem, it was as if she was standing in front of a diamond.
The gem looked around at where she had emerged and seemed to be scanning her surroundings before looking down towards the peridot. She lunged forward and gripped the peridot by the neck, lifting her up to meet the gem's gaze. The peridot, terrified, struggled but as soon as she locked eyes with the mystery gem she soon ceased her resistance.
The eyes, those were the most frightening thing, it was like staring into a void. A vast emptiness that contained nothing but despair, and yet they seemed to radiate with a power and urge to shatter that the peridot had never experienced from even the most violent of gems she'd seen. Just who was this gem, what was she for?
"Who are you?" the gem uttered to the peridot. Her voice was like silk and each syllable was smooth as it was spoken but projected a sense of darkness and impending doom when it entered the peridot's ears. It took her a few moments to find her voice, plus a little motivation as the mysterious gem gripped the peridot's neck tighter.
"I..I'm Peridot facet 6F2A cut 8WP, I'm the alpha kindergarten watchkeeper as appointed by White Diamond, If you harm me you'll have to answer to her!" the peridot threatened but the mysterious gem was unfazed by this threat and released her.
"Interesting, now...take me to White Diamond"
Gem Modification Lab-Designation: Vanguard
Era 1 (300 years before the Gem war)
Experiment log: 18-02
Scientist residing: Hematite Facet:1Q3M Cut:9LL
Subject: Onyx Facet: 4F2L Cut: 8PD
Experiment objective: Manufacture a gem type that can be used for exterminating malformed or disloyal gems
Experiment summary: The subject has responded well to modification, although it seems that the experiment is taking it's toll on the subject's mental state. When formed subject displays incredible capacity for violence and has already shattered 2 of my scientists and 3 quartz gems.
Recommend holly blue agate gems for future forming of Onyx. Considering experiment aims, the gem modifications are successful. Onyx now possesses weapons that can rapidly destroy the physical form and then shatter the target gem within a few moments, this has been tested up to a Lapis Lazuli, the Lapis fought well but was shattered within 5 minutes.
Speed and agility combat tests have also been successful, the subject fought off 10 ruby guards with incredible accuracy, when the remaining 4 rubies fused in desperation, the subject was unfazed and rapidly separated and shattered them with perfect precision.
Subject's gemstone has now been reduced to it's liquid form. A specially constructed injector will inject subject into the Alpha kindergarten to emerge in approx 50 years, this time spent in the surface should give the subject the additional necessary power to make the subject unstoppable, save for the diamonds themselves.
End Report
White Diamond Command Center-Homeworld
(Present day)
"Both of them running off to earth? They have colonies to manage and they both go to earth to avenge Pink?" White diamond was on her communicator, talking to a pearl who was nervously trying to explain why Yellow and Blue were unavailable.
"Well my diamond, Yellow diamond explained that they had business to settle with the remnants of the old Rose Quartz rebellion, designation: Crystal Gems, and that this would finally put an end to Blue diamond's thousands of years of grief" The pearl responded with a look of fear and nervousness on her face.
White diamond simply furrowed her brow and responded in a clearly annoyed tone "well you ensure that you inform yellow that I need her immediate report on the state of the new colony in the delta quadrant, Designation: Eternia, understood?". The pearl performed the diamond salute and simply responded "Yes my diamond" before White diamond cut off the communications.
The peridot nervously led the mysterious gem forward and into the grand chamber of White diamond. The mysterious gem was not fazed in the slightest by the grandeur that few gems got to see. She simply walked forward towards the podium where white diamond sat. White pearl greeted the two and asked them their business.
"Peridot Facet 6F2A Cut 8WP, Alpha Kindergarten watchkeeper, I...well" she stuttered, unsure of how to explain herself when White diamond's voice suddenly cut in.
"Get on with it peridot, I've not got all day here" she spoke, not looking away from her screen as she continued to read and swipe at information that came in a constant stream to her console. The peridot seized up and gave the diamond salute immediately "Yes my diamond, This gem has just unexpectedly emerged from the kindergarten, she refuses to speak to anyone but you my diamond".
White diamonds took her eyes away from the screen as she heard those words, she turned to face the black gem below her. The gem did not back down in the presence of the most surpreme and grand clarity in the entire gem empire. "Oh is that right?" White diamond said with a tone that sounded like she'd been insulted by the words she'd just heard.
"So, just who do you think you are gem? To come waltzing into my court and demanding things as if you own the place, explain why I shouldn't shatter you for your impudence!" White diamond's piecing glare bore down on the mysterious gem, who remained unfazed at the threat of shattering.
"I am Onyx Facet: 4F2L Cut: 8PD, I was designed as a weapon against rouge gems, Final orders before being placed into the kindergarten; To report to White diamond and receive mission brief on the shattering of a rebel gem, Designation: Rose Quartz." replied Onyx, her expression unchanging in the face of this gem that would intimidate any other being in the universe.
White diamond drew back "Hmmm I see, stay there a second" she spoke as she pulled up her screen and searched for the documentation on this gem. As she read her expression changed multiple times; Interest, Concern, worry, and then finally White diamond turned to face Onyx and spoke clearly.
"Very well, then your mission brief is as follows; you will be transported to Pink Diamond's former colony, Designation: Earth, you will then hunt down and destroy the remains of the crystal gem rebellion which is recorded to consist of a fusion, Designation: Garnet, A rebel pearl, a defective amethyst and Rose Quartz who has now taken the form of a earthling calling itself 'Steven', upon completion you are to wipe out any further gems on the planet and begin dealing with the organic life so that reconciliation can occur"
Onyx smiled sadistically and gave a diamond salute before saying in a twisted voice of pleasure and excitement "Yes my diamond, It will be done"
A/N: First chapter is kinda short but it's mainly a tester, let me know if you like it, it's mainly an idea i've been toying with but if you all like it I'll turn it into a full length fanfic :)
