Watermelon Tourmaline's Tale

It was era 2. The great gem war was raging on earth, between the powerful forces of homeworld and the defected crystal gems. Homeworld, struggling to churn out proper soldiers from the beta kindergarten, well aside from the absolute unit Jasper, began to create more soldiers on their own planet. Gems like Topaz, Rubies, and Watermelon Tourmalines were popping out of the ground left and right. One of these Watermelon Tourmalines emerged, her gem on the side of her head. She was immediately shoved into a ship and taken to earth to help fight. She didn't understand why the fighting had to happen. Homeworld was so much stronger, and yet somehow Rose Quartz was able to keep her forces alive. 

Years and years passed, and it never seemed like either side was going to win. Watermelon Tourmaline had stayed and fought, until news quickly spread of Pink Diamond's shattering. This crippled homeworld, causing their forces to fall back. Watermelon Tourmaline was left alone, and managed to find a place to hide, until she felt the stab of a spear through her back. She was poofed immediately, as the rebel Pearl picked her gem up. She looked at it in curiosity. "No Watermelon Tourmaline has survived this long.." She said softly. Perhaps this one was special. She didn't even seem like she wanted to fight very badly, as she was hiding at the time of her poofing. She was bubbled and sent to the temple, where she was able to survive the diamond blast. 

Shortly after the war passed, Rose Quartz was told about this gem, who didn't seem to be on anyone's side. She was unbubbled. As she reformed, the crystal gems watched, weapons ready. When the dual colored gem emerged from the light, she didn't have a single diamond insignia on her. "Ugh.. where am I..? What happened..?" She questioned, looking around. Once her gaze landed on Rose Quartz, she shrieked and stumbled back. "You! Why would you free me?!" She yelled. Rose just smiled. "Because on earth, nothing makes sense, and everyone can be whoever they want to be." She said with a soft voice. Watermelon Tourmaline looked around, puzzled. "What I want to do?" She asked, not really knowing anything besides fighting. She looked around at the three gems and then looked at her own hands. She chuckled and stood up. "That doesn't sound half bad but- where do I start?" The gem asked. Rose smiled and stood up. "Go find your real purpose." She said. 

Watermelon Tourmaline ran out of the temple and looked around. She smelled the ocean, felt the cool breeze, the soft sand under her feet. She just smiled and ran along the beach, laughing and jumping. Earth was her home now.
