Three months of Earth time had passed since Pink Diamond was introduced to the one of a kind gems of Shard and Chromus. And every gem in her colony were curious about them, wanting to learn more about the new additions, now the question is, did Pink Diamond share this information with the other Diamonds or did she decided to keep it a secret from them?

She was tempted to tell them, especially after learning about all they could do. Not only were Shard and Chromus unique in appearance but in their gem powers as well! But she was afraid they would take them from her, she finally got her own colony after basically begging to the other Diamonds as if she was born yesterday. If her new gems were discovered they could say that she was not mature or experienced enough to deal with them and Pink Diamond could not let that slip. So, with some confidence from her confidant, Pearl, Pink kept Shard and Chromus a secret from the other diamonds and swore all of her other gems to secrecy about them.

'I'll show them how good I am on this by learning everything about them and have their jaws drop.' Pink thought while in her palanquin.

"Is something troubling you, my Diamond?" Her pearl asked her.

"No, Pearl. Just thinking about Shard and Chromus." Pink Diamond said with a smile.

"I'm sure they will be amazing addictions to your court." Her Pearl said with a similar smile.

"Me too." Pink Diamond said before putting a finger on her lip. "By the way, have you seen where they are?"

"I believe they are at the Sky Arena training together." Pearl said.

"Oh really now? And for how long have they been training?" Pink Diamond asked, already interested.

"I think the past few hours but I'm sure they are fine." Pearl said.

"Hmmm, still, let's go check on them." Pink Diamond said.

Shard changed his hand into a spiky maced weapon and started swinging around quickly but heavily too. One single blow enough to break a large boulder in millions of pieces.

It would be interesting to see exactly how they fight anyway. The more date, the merrier.

"Yes, my diamond." Pearl said with a nod.

Putting her current data pads away, Pink Diamond used the special hand pad for the palanquin and mentally commanded it to retract the legs to float in the air. It then quickly flew in direction to the Sky Arena, above the clouds where Gems would train and hone their abilities. Mostly for combat type gems, but Pink allowed every gem to come and test their skills as well as watch if they want to. Hopefully, not many gems would be around to watch them so she could observe them herself.

'I'm very curious to see what they have that other don't, it's like a mystery every day with them.' Pink thought.

Once they reached the sky arena, Pink Diamond and her Pearl walked off the palanquin before hearing the sounds of combat.

'Seems we caught them in the middle of a spar.' Pink thought.

Once they reached the top of the steps, the diamond and servant saw the two male gems right in the middle of combat and fighting with everything they have as Shard creates a sharp looking blade on his hand and jumps towards Chromus with a wide swing. Which the latter saw it coming and sidestepped to the right.

'His swings are wide, powerful but wide.' Chromus thought, dodging more of his attacks before jumping back and charging up a certain power in his body.

"You're strong but let's see how your speed is!" Chromus shouted before shooting the rainbow energy out of his hands!
