The Black Diamond

Chapter 7: Something Entirely New

(Omega)"So from now on, whenever Black is using his 'serious face', his text will be in bold."

(The Sky Arena)

(Black)"And you are certain that none of you even considered joining her cause?"

(Quartzes)"Yes!"

(Black)"Then remember this. There are only two kinds of Gems! Ones that obey the Diamond Authority, and ones who don't, and they don't live very long. So what kind of Gems are you?"

(Quartzes)"We obey the Diamond Authority!"

(Black)"Good."

I dismissed them, and went back to the palanquin. For the past 4 months, I have received several reports of a pair of Gems causing trouble for my Earth colony. Destroying buildings, poofing Gems at random, damaging Warp Pads, it just won't stop!

(Black)"I had a feeling that I should've shattered that Rose then and there, now she's breaking everything!"

(Pearl)"My Diamond, perhaps you should bring a Sapphire here."

A Sapphire is a rare type of Gem to come across, and for a good reason. They have the special ability to see. Into the future, and for thousands of years, their predictions have never been wrong.

(Black)"That's a good idea, Blue did give me some of hers a few years back, send a message to Homeworld to have one of my Sapphires brought here, along with at least three Rubies, we have no idea what Rose may be planning."

(Pearl)"At once."

(26 Hours Later)

(Peridot)"My Diamond, we've received a message from Homeworld saying that the Eclipse Dreadnought has been completed."

(Black)"Oh good, a big pair of legs aren't the best thing to take into battle."

(Omega)"The Eclipse Dreadnought is a warship that Black had constructed for him 10 years ago for any and all big battles. It's basically the Eclipse-Class Star Destroyer from Star Wars, but more sleek. And if you don't know what that is, here's a picture."

(Omega)"Yeah, this thing is huge!"

(Peridot)"Also, the Sapphire you requested has arrived."

(Black)"Excellent, let her in at once."

She left the palanquin, and a small, blue Gem entered.
