For ages now all they had wanted was to go home. To see Homeworld with their own eyes. Well, they’d seen it now. All they were allowed to. The excitement of seeing their Diamonds was cutoff rather quickly, seeing how Blue seemed to simply lament their being in her presence, and Yellow was visibly furious over it. “How did one survive!?” There were hushed murmurs, fear laced in voices trying to explain the unexplainable.
“I did as I was made to do. I destroyed.” They had no idea they were fighting off Homeworld Gems. If it attacked them, they killed it. They were a weapon after all.
Yellow’s face screwed up into one of absolute malice. “YOU, PEARL!” She scanned the area for someone to carry out her will. “Escort this mistake to the holding cells immediately!” Two quartz guards flanked Black Opal - nearly two feet shorter than them - and held what they assumed were weapons at each of their gems.
Though threatened, they did not become angry. Instead, they were frightened and confused. What had they done wrong? They killed as instructed; they had managed to come home all on their own. Their handlers always praised their initiative hadn’t they? Blue Diamond refused to look upon them, and Yellow had already begun to leave.
