A rogue gem's story

Chapter 2

It's been weeks since I was made. Obsidian and Howlite have been training me to fight fearlessly for the gem homeworld. From what I've heard, a group of gems have rebelled against Yellow Diamond and her empire. A war has started on a planet called Earth. I overheard Howlite and another mentor, Jasper, talking about sending me down there. "Jasper, I don't think she's ready to go into combat yet," Howite says. "Why not?! She was designed for combat, RIGHT? You made her the way Yellow Diamond wanted. So, she's ready to go!" Jasper booms. "But, I don't know if Yellow Diamond's design was even possible-" "YOU ALTERED HER?! YOU KNOW YELLOW DIAMOND WONT BE HAPPY ABOUT THIS!" Jasper yells frantically at Howlite. She sighs and turns, "I have to tell her about this..." she mumbles. "Please have mercy! She'll have my gem shattered for sure!" Howlite begs for her to keep who I am a secret. "Rules are rules, I'm telling her," Jasper says without emotion, then turns to leave. "Oh yeah, one more thing....She's going, end of story," She says before going to see Yellow Diamond. Tears fill Howlite's eyes. I start to walk away, but I am stopped by Onyx, a scout for our army. "Oh, Azurite. I was looking for you," she states. "Jade needed me to come get you. I has been confirmed that we are sending you into combat. Let's go." She leads me to sector 87: Our warp pads. Jade, a sergeant, is there waiting for me."Hello Azurite. You should know by now that the rebel group is very small, but very clever. A group of troops is waiting for your arrival. They will explain the rest. Do I make myself clear?" She says in an almost blunt tone. "Yes ma'am." I solute her and step on the warp pad. "Good luck, soldier." Both Onyx and Jade solute and step back as the warp pad sends me to Earth.  When I get there, I am greeted by a relatively large group of gems. One, with curly black hair and Timberwolf-grey skin shakes my hand and explains our plan. "So, Azurite. You are leading us into combat." He says. "Oh, by the way, my name is general Charcoal."
