AN: Amethyst Unleashed is back. Hopefully, it'll stay that way.

In a distant part of the galaxy, five billion light-years away from Earth, the Destiny Destroyer scoured the entire system in search of the Sun Incinerator. Meanwhile, in the cockpit, Emerald growled in utter frustration. She had recently been informed by the diamonds that they sent the team from the Earth mission to capture the off-colors in order to obtain info about the whereabouts of Rose Quartz. This did not sit well with the captain at all.

"This is unbelievable!!!" she said, slamming her fist down on the ship's console. "Just because they captured Rose Quartz one time, the diamonds think that an aquamarine and a topaz fusion are far more capable of dealing with those off-colors than I am."

"Uh, captain?" asked a peridot.

"What!?!" Emerald snarled, scaring the technician.

"P-Permission to speak?" she asked, nervously.

"Granted," Emerald replied.

"Wasn't that the point of us chasing after them?" the peridot inquired.

"Yes, and to get my Sun Incinerator back. But if those two get to them first, my Sun Incinerator will be confiscated as evidence or rewarded to those clods," she explained. "I will not let my most prized possession fall into the hands of that little blue pebble!"

"U-U-Understood, captain," said the peridot.

"I need to figure out a way to get one step ahead of them. But, how?" Emerald asked herself.

"Captain?" a green pearl called out.

"Yes, Pearl?" Emerald inquired.

"You're receiving an incoming transmission," she informed.

"Play it through," said Emerald.

At the press of a button, a holographic screen came into full view displaying an image of a well-known commander.

"Commander, Hessonite? For whom do I owe the occasion?" asked Emerald.

Hessonite stared at the green gem with a stoic expression. "Let's straight to the point. I usually don't work with others to complete my mission, but for now, I'm willing to make an exception."

The orange gem pulls up two holographic images: one showing a picture of the Famethyst and another showing a picture of the Off Colors.

"I heard you were having some trouble capturing a group of Off Colors," said Hessonite.

"Yes. Those rejects slip through my fingers every time," growled Emerald.

"So I've heard," said Hessonite, minimizing the image of the Off Colors and expanding a different image, this one of two human males, one significantly taller than the other and the image of the Famethyst.

"These are quartzes from Pink Diamond's old army. They were originally stationed at her human zoo," said Hessonite, referring to the Famethyst. "However, they recently went rogue and staged a surprisingly, well-organized revolt at the facility and escaped with one of Blue Diamond's agates. The security footage caught them talking about heading to Earth."

"And what about the other?" Emerald asked.

"Aquamarine already secured the human," said Hessonite

"Shards!!!" shouted Emerald, banging the armrest of her seat. "Then why are you showing me this thing, what importance does it serve?"

"According to her logs, she received testimony from one of the Off Colors that Rose has already escaped to Earth," said Hessonite, gesturing to 'Rose' in the picture. "Or as the human refers to her: Steven."
