A few days have passed since the incident with the turquoise stone, since then no one had seen Zircon. Chrysoberyl sighed thinking that she was just reassigned, Holly Blue not caring about her to see what happened, and Blue Diamond's court hadn't had much defiance since Zircon's last assignment. 

During her last assignment, upon the surrender of the rebels, she had them fight against each other. She had promised the winner would be allowed to go free, wanting this they all fought hard. A ruby with a gem on her lower back had won. She was forced to watch as Zircon shattered the other gems participating in this little 'rebellion', Zircon had a look on her face the terrified the ruby as she returned to her original position she went on to explain that look in much detail terrifying those who heard the story.

Zircon was currently on earth, fighting in hand to hand combat with a earth creature. It was big, had much fur, and actually started the fight with Zircon. She was only walking through some woods she stumbled upon after her little tantrum with the stone. She had found it again and just kept walking as she stared at it. She walked through the seeming endless plains and then wandered into the woods. She was interrupted when she heard a low growl like sound, upon looking up there was a creature nearly double her size.

"What?" She said in an irritated tone, she looked up at the creature it dropping down in front of her now level with her it let out a loud and smelly roar. Zircon stood there unfazed as the creature looked at her a moment after before swatting at her and making her fly into a tree. A loud thud echoed through the woods and birds fled from the nearby trees. Zircon pulled herself up, the tree having fell over when her body collided with it, the stone had slipped from her grasp and was near the woodland creature. "Listen Buddy, I am not in the mood.." She dusted herself off, looking rather menacingly at the creature. "So, " she quickly charged at the creature, kicking it in it's face, knocking it out as it moved a few inches from it's original position. "Screw off." She spat, looking down at it turning her attention to the stone between her feet. She bent down picking it up sighing as she popped off one of the rubies on her belt, and replacing it with the stone in her hand. She threw the ruby aside, it quickly manifesting as it looked to Zircon expecting order. 

A quite yet stern "Go" was all she got, it didn't take the ruby long to figure out to leave. She scurried off, leaving Zircon alone in the forest.

Chrysoberyl was waiting as the machines analyses the Earth samples, she sighed as she looked to her notes, full of new information. She groaned leaning back on her desk, straightened out her back. A small ding could be heard as the machine's previously red light was now green, signaling it completed it's task.  Standing and walking over to the results she sighed as it required a new way of thinking, causing her to create new thoughts.
