He couldn't move. Black Diamond's hands were bound behind his back and locked with a special device that sent a powerful shock through him whenever he thrashed around too hard. The pain wasn't the problem; the problem was that if he got shocked too badly, he'd be forced back into his gem. And the device would bubble him until he could reconstitute. Once he came back, it'd go back to the handcuffs. It was a frustratingly ingenious design to keep even powerful gems such as Diamonds from escaping.<br/><br/>And here he was, bound for who knew where, locked up like a criminal and thrown away. All because he understand the concepts of love, justice, compassion. In all truth, maybe this was for the best? A gem like him had no place on Homeworld, much less in the Authority. Maybe if he was dead, things would be better for everyone? No. Him dying would only make it easier for Yellow and the other Diamonds falling in line behind her to continue their foul, corruptive, oppressive ways. He needed to survive if only to be the last fly in their soup.<br/><br/>His resolve and conviction meant nothing though if he couldn't free himself. But he'd been locked in the deepest, darkest, most secure part of the ship. If you didn't have high enough security clearance, you wouldn't even know he was there. So no help was coming. Things started to feel even more hopeless when he felt impacts that could only be an attack from another ship. Something was wrong. Why would anyone attack a prison transport? The rebels had no one left to pull a stunt like this, so homeworld had to be behind it. Did the rebels get on the ship?! If so he maybe had a chance.  He couldn't respond, but when what sounded like a Topaz came over the intercom, telling them to hang out, he braced himself and waited for impact. Then he was suddenly flung hard against a wall.<br/><br/>Hard enough to short out his cuffs. He quickly freed himself and weathered the rest of the crash in a corner. Once he was sure they'd stopped, he forced his way out of his cell with a terrible shriek of metal. His footsteps were soft, but he wasn't trying to hide and they echoed from the darkness as he made his way through the ruins of the ship. He took in the carnage and destruction around him; not just of the ship, but of the gems scattered about on the floor. Finally he stopped and looked to what he assumed was the Topaz who'd sent the message earlier.<strong>"Hmmm. It seems we're on Earth. I haven't been here in some time."</strong>After looking out at the beautiful landscape, he looked back to her.<strong>"How many didn't make it? Do you know?"</strong>
