Though that became more difficult with every second that passed. Sparks flew from some compartments while others actually had hull breaches due to the fighting between the rebels and the loyalists. A small holographic display before Topaz showed an outline of the ship with several of the section flashing between green and red.<br/><br/>What had started out as a simple and easy raid had quickly gone wrong only minutes after the rebels popped out of their compartments, having stowed away in countless places, hidden in by a friendly agent while they were resting inside of their gems, allowing them to fit into tight spaces. The element of surprise had helped them get almost a full third of the ship under their control, to the point that the rebels were just about to spring the prisoners from the hold. But their intel had been wrong, the prison room was packed to the brim with guards, and the ensuing fighting killed off nearly all of the rebels and the guards. The fighting had been so intense that it even knocked out power and sensors to the prison wing, leaving the bubbled gems with barely anything keeping them locked in but a weak energy bubble.<br/><br/>While the fighting had gone on, a distress signal went out and a homeworld ship arrived in a manner of seconds. The officer aboard knew that the rebels could not be allowed to escape and bolster their numbers, especially with what was aboard that ship. So it had blasted them right on the engines before they entered warp, the damage threatening to take the ship out before it reached its destination, whatever it might be.<br/><br/>“Mayday,<strong>Mayday</strong>! Can anyone hear us?” Topaz shouted into a communicator while doing her best to keep the ship from exploding from within the shot up and badly damaged bridge of the prison ship. Paz didn’t know why she was even trying to call for help, the only ones who might come would be just more Authority ships.<br/><br/>With her captured Peridot hand she spread several fingers in front of her, bringing up a holo menu and trying to reroute power to ensure that they would make it to the set in coordinates. Many of the consoles were out, having been destroyed when a loyalist squad attacked her and the others trying to take the bridge, sadly only Topaz was left. If anyone else among the rebels was left alive she had no way of knowing. She didn’t even know where they were going. One of the now dead rebel gems had put in the coordinates but was killed before she could even tell the others.<br/><br/>“Come on, come on just alittle longer.” She pleaded with the machine, willing the ship to not blow to bits. By now several of the bubbles and containment fields were failing, releasing prisoners, just in time for the ship to come out of warp, right in the atmosphere of a planet. It didn’t take long for the entire viewing port to be filled with flames as they came in hot, breaking through the atmosphere and threatening to explode.<br/><br/>“If there is anyone left on the ship, Crystal Gem or not, Hang on tight!” She shouted once more into the shipwide communication. The power began to fail all over and the heat began to increase to the point even Topaz felt it in the relatively shielded cockpit.<br/><br/>What happened next was a big blur, for a moment Topaz was strapped into the chair on the ship, the next moment she was on the floor and feeling sparks land upon her. Alarms barked in her ears and she took a moment to get up. The cockpit glass was shattered into thousands of tiny bits, letting in the cool island air as she looked out upon something strange.<br/><br/><div align="center">(http://s3.perpetualexplorer.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/vieques.jpg)</div><br/>"Where am I?" She said, rubbing her sore physical form, until it dawned on her. How could she have been so stupid! Shed seen this world before form the moon, and again just a few moments ago. This was Earth! But that wasn't the only revalation she had, with the power out, Topaz realized that the bubbled gems would be waking up! Fast as she could, Topaz made her way through the ship, past the broken and shattered remains of other Gems, and the battle damage, some sections were completely open to the island air and gave Paz glimpses of the outside world.<br/><br/>Inside the cells, the entire floor was littered with the remains of both Rebel and Authority gems, so much so it was hard not to step on one. But she managed it and was there as the newly freed prisoners began to come out one by one.
