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.

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.&nbsp; 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>&nbsp;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>

				<strong>Name:</strong> Sard/Slake<br><strong>Location: Prison Room</strong> <br><strong>Tagging:</strong>Open, Black Diamond, Topaz<hr><br>The Sard known as Slake was frustrated indeed. Most gems typically had quite the tendency to avoid him and even as they did interact with him, they were smart enough to give him space and control or some other form of respect. He couldn't trust any other gem; what with their worthless little minds trying to fiddle with his plans. Slake had his plans nicely wrapped up, tidied, and precise to the very second he started them. Other gems didn't and when he heard the rebels begin their chaotic scuffle, Slake only felt his suspicions to be confirmed.<br><br>That was the price he paid to work with other gems.<br><br>How he had gotten the gems on the ship was another story as the rebels had very little hand in his perfect plan. All the rebels had to do was remaining still and shut up, something he was used to telling other gems. When they finally gathered in their supply boxes, he had them put on the ship like the unsuspecting prison warden he made himself out to be. As risky as it was not informing the rebels of his identity, he couldn't risk any information coming out and hurting him. If these rebels failed, then they would fail without ever knowing the very Sard that set the operation into motion.<br><br>Once the volume from the outside the prison room reached critical mass, Slake came up to the very door they were breaching and set several barriers up before turning back around to the far end. The moment he turned, the soldiers parted to give him a safe passage through the far end door. Slake made sure these gems knew their place around him, after all.<br><br>The fighting quickly spread upon his departure and all Slake had to do was remain in his bunker room while everything finished up. The shouts and screams did little to affect his work and before long, the fighting was slowing to a crawl. Now there was footsteps, hurried and confused movements that indicated unfamiliarity. The rebels had won and soon enough, they were at his door.<br><br>When he stood up, he moved for the bunker to open the door without a fight. Just as he did so, however, it seemed as though fate was looking to punish him in some petty manner. An explosion rocked the ship, originating from the engine. Being so close to the engines, Slake's room bucked him off his feet and had him slamming face first into the wall.<br><br>Blackness . . . <br><br>All until . . . actually, he couldn't determine how long it had been. Everything around him was in ruins, but a shard of reflective material showed a crack on his gem. He didn't even think twice before reached up for his face and within minutes, he had the crack disappear. The door was not looking to be cooperative, so he opened up the hull and stepped out. Sand met his feet, his gem gazing upon the strange sight before him. Then there was Black Diamond and a Topaz that probably came from the rebel force.<br><br>"What an odd sight," Slake asked looking towards the Topaz, "I haven't seen your gems in ages . . . well, aside from your corpses, that is."

				<strong>Name:</strong> Tourmaline<br><strong>Location:</strong> Ocean, but coming to the beach<br><strong>Tagging:</strong> Open<br><hr><br>Tourmaline was able to breathe the entire flight, just that she had to endure the cold vacuum of space clinging onto the side of a prison shuttle. She didn't even intend to be there; from where she was, an attack was going on, which she assumed was a bunch of rebels trying to engage in a battle with the Authority's forces. She could often look back to see a pursuing ship coming gradually closer to the one she on, but she wasn't certain if she would make the jump - she could have been shot down mistaken for a suicide attacker. It figured that she would be on a stolen ship... though she felt queasy with the thought of being one of the rebels. She was just doing her job! Certainly she would be let off the hook for trying to find shelter... right?<br><br>But then shots were fired, causing Tourmie to nearly lose her grip from the resulting rattle. Within agonizingly long moments the stolen ship started to take a dive towards a planet. Was that this Earth they were talking about? She didn't think she would be relocated in this fashion.<br><br>The ship was heating up to an extreme degree as it fell, a great temptation to just jump off the ship and let some more cold air through her. It wasn't until they were well into the Earth's sky, past the clouds that she finally made the jump. She fell a bit slower than the ship so she wasn't feeling the heat very much from there, but then she noticed a bunch of blue below her. A whole bunch of water.<br><br>She poofed into her gem as she crashed into the water, slowly sinking down to the sandy floor. Some time after the gem lied on the sand for a while, she returned to her normal self, though aching all over from the landing. She groaned, bubbles coming out of her mouth before she slowly got back up onto her feet, and sighed as she started to make the trip towards air.<br><br>Once she started coming out of the ocean's surface though, she immediately noticed the strange, blue little lights that were washed onto the sandy shore. She was almost mesmerised by the sight, but then she looked over towards some shapes that appeared from the large hole in the crashed ship. She sunk back into the water, the little lights starting to stick onto her hair. She then summoned her wrench-hammer and started to sneak up on the rebels, just in case they were to... do something.

				(http://i65.tinypic.com/2igdfmf.jpg)<br><br><strong>Name:</strong> Giana "Jade"<br><strong>Location:</strong>Prison Ship--&gt; Beach<br><strong>Tagging:</strong> Open<br><br>It had been far too long since Giada had heard any sort of sound much less anything that resembled anything living in her surrounding area, then again from what she gathered she was nothing but garbage and not in need to be acknowledged much less spoken to.The silent gem lay in heavy armory that hung from the wall, unlike more powerful gems Giada's own was more restricting in certain areas than her overall being. Rather the merciless "Jade" was hindered with hands and feet unable to be used, her deft and flexible tactics often resulting in many an shattered gem even without the need of her weaponry as she proved to still be quite the force to be reckoned with. The small space of her room was all but smothering, though Giada did not dare attempt to hide within her gem less it become all the more obvious just how fractured her state actually was. No the heavy walls that clung around herself like an suit of iron would have to do for the time being, even if every slight groan and footstep all but radiated around her head to cause some distraction of annoyance to the gem. The guard that had the privileged of watching the silent mercenary utterly useless with the slim of her arms high above her head nearly leaving her petite form hanging, the snarky loyalist muttering an few obscene comments though the one that gained an reaction from Giada above all was one single word.<br><br>Obsolete.<br><br>How dare they call her such when she had given her entire life to their cause? That with one mistake, one failing she was branded obsolete and to be destroyed&nbsp; as if she meant nothing for her honor, for her loyalty, for her very talents to be crushed. Oh how Giada found just how bittersweet the homeworld was to those who were no longer 'useful' in their eyes, that if they could create her they could very well end her without an thought. It would be the only time the gem would begin to question herself, to plead to her superiors in an effort to gain some mercy, to prove herself to still be an willful ally and yet they turned her away, even those who she had all but admired and looked up to turned an blind eye, disgusted with her broken gem. Within the prison ship Giada had all but time to ponder her choices in her so called life, of how many of those she had crushed without mercy only to now have the same done to herself; it was all but an tragic irony if there ever was one. Within the darkness of her voidless sight however the gem began to dream, to think of the old stories she had heard upon her first years within training, moonstone lights glimmering as they were surrounded by eager students as they listened to an world where there was no longer war, no fighting, only peace. Giada tried to think what they had called the world, it was an odd planet from what she could remember, something covered in water?<br><br>"Obsolete gem...just look at you...I bet it wouldn't take much to just break that-"The guard started, though what words there had once been all but came to an complete stop, chaos all but broke out and because of such the guard let her defenses down. It was enough for Giada to strike, mostly out of fury of being talked down to as she had been. Without warning the lithe gem lifted her slim legs high above the head of the guard, the thin chain that connected her ankles spreading just enough to allow Giada to wrap the metal around the neck of her oppressor as she grit her teeth. Although she yearned to see the look on the guard's face, those glassy eyes remained emotionless as Giada gave her legs an twist, all but reducing the guard to nothing but an pile of broken shards as she soon sighed.Well that took care of that....but more importantly...just what was going on around her?There truly was an uproar if she had ever heard one, it reminded Giada of the times on the battle field as she struck down many an rebel one by one.<br><br>Swinging her legs Giada used the tips of her bare feet to lightly climb the wall, perching herself nearly upside down as the long train of her deep teal hair lightly brushed across the floor as she focused. She could hear screaming, she could hear death..but most importantly she could hear the sound of an distress call.<br><br>“If there is anyone left on the ship, Crystal Gem or not, Hang on tight!”<br><br>Hang on? Wait what?<br><br><br>Giada had little time to actually think those words through as the sudden lunge of the ship all but nearly sent the gem flying if it hadn't been for her restraints she was certain she would have crashed to the floor in an broken heap much like the guard. Though the gem managed to hold on, using the volatile motion of the ship to break free from her shackles luckily just in time before the very walls that had been her shelter caved in. Ducking down Giada slid herself from the thin crack having been created, as what met her senses first was the taste of salty water rushing into her. Everything felt so damn heavy yet oddly weightless as well, it was an odd sort of sensation but one Giada did not wish to look into for much longer. Using her arms she swam through the darkness, her heightened senses having grown cloudy from the pressure of the ocean around her as she fought for the surface. Soon breaking the gem scrambled her way to the shore with gasping breath, although gems did not need to breathe really the feeling of water was not the most comfortable sensation in her stomach, Giada dropping to her knees as she doubled over with an pant trying to clear her senses.<br><br>The long train of her dark hair fell across her pallid features, no doubt looking all the more washed up compared to the wreckage behind her though she hardly cared really. She could hear others speaking around her, though Giada did not recognize their voices right away,whether they were friend or foe however there was no doubt in her mind they would recognize her.She was the mercenary of the Gem world, the jade death as so coined...so many rebels had fallen at her hand.

"A..A <em><strong>Diamond</strong></em>!?" She cried out in a mix of terror and surprise. Looking up at the massive sight of the other Gem, one much older than her. Some gems even thought that maybe Diamonds were the very first gems, but no one ever dared to ask. Now that she looked up at Black Diamond, the pieces began to click in her head. No wonder the ship was so heavily guarded, it made more sense to carry the only traitor Diamond on an inconspicuous ship rather than one that would bring in attention. Her arm enhancer for a moment swapped to its blaster function as it picked up on her fear, but turned back to the hand mode as her mind overid her emotions. If he was here then it was likely he didnt have any lolyalties to the DA.<br>&nbsp;<br>"I uh....uhh I don't know..i didn't see anyone else when I came here..i think their all gone..." &nbsp;She said, ignoring all the others who woke up from their imprisonment, especialy the creepy doctor, and focused soley on the diamond. <br><br>"Earth..."Topaz mumbled, so it was really true, they were on the world which started it all. "I uh....we need to..find other gems...I think..." She said, looking towards all the others and feeling on the spot she cleared her throat. <br><br>"No, first we need to get a head of the situation. All survivors sound off! Topaz, im a...engineer..I have some repair gell if anyone needs some." She tapped a finger against her arm enhancer to add in extra emphasis as she looked ot the ones who managed to wake up from their imprisonment. From the damage in the room it was hard to tell where the others might be, if their gems even survived the impact.<br>
