There is a reason why White has no court. Has no army. They have all left. All the Court of White have left Homeworld. Left to fight a crusade against the greatest threat of Gemkind. The Snake People. The Sneeple. Defilers of Gem kind, and their leader Crotalus. Slayer of Black Diamond. Elder sister to White Diamond. Half the being callled Perfect Diamond. Mother of gemkind.

...

Far Away In Sector Twelve.

A lone Peridot arrives on a Warp Pad on a planet at the very edge of her colony. She is a first generation Peridot. Tall and regal filled with intelligence, unlike those third generation midget clods that had to be fitted with Limb Enhancers.

She hated looking at them. Imperfect versions of herself. She was glad that she was far from Homeworld now. At least she didn't have to deal with those midget clods.

She taps on her communicator in order to contact the Terraformers sent to this planet in order to prepare a new Kindergarten. It is a frozen wasteland of a planet covered in ice. But underneath it, there is a rich mineral sea of deposits. A perfect place for a Lapis Lazuli to work with. In fact there are already three Lapis sent to this planet to work on turning a certain patch into an ideal Kidnergarten site.

But strangely all contact has been lost with them since a month ago. Another Peridot, a second generation one had been sent here. She too had failed to report in. This perplexed and annoyed her superior, who decided to finally come here herself.

After a moment of trying to make contact with the gem base, all she got was static reply. The Peridot was furious.

"Stupid cold. She probably doesn't know how to operate the communication device. I can't believe she's a Peridot too. The Lapisses, I understand but a Peridot? Oh Stars what would generation 4 be like if this continues," the Peridot grumbled to herself.

Unable to contain her frustration, the Peridot decided to travel to the base. Surely it was a breach of protocol for a superior to go to a subordinate, but the Peridot has enough. Her second generation subordinate will be getting more than an earful when she was through with them. And she would report the incompetent Lapisses to Blue Diamond herself. They would be bubbled for a certain amount of time for sure.

Together with her Plug Robonoids she braved a blizzard that was heading her way.

She was supposed to be assigned to meet a group of gems, Terra formers to update her on the condition of the site which the Kindergarten was that be set up.

It was supposed to be a straight forward assignment. How could a couple of supposedly professional gems messed it up.

Peridot was preplexed and angry.

Her betector begun to beep wildly. They were nearing the station. In the midst of the blinding blizzard she noticed a dark spherical silhouette object in front of her.

"Must be a Boulder," she said to herself squinting.

But as she closed in about metre or so, the object came into her full visibility. She gave startled yelp. It was the remains of a huge Plug Robonoid, split at its sides.

"Stars! Those clumsy clods must have damaged the robonoid and left it in the cold," she muttered stepping into a puddle of green liquid flowing out of the robonoid.

Gritting her teeth in disgust, she took a few steps back trying to shake off the goo of her leg, wishing in that moment she wish she had limb enhancers.

But being a Gen one gem, she was tall as an agate, and her magnetic powers were as formidable and planet influencing as a Lapis had with water. So there were a few things in the known galaxy that would threaten her.

As jump around moving in a funny one legged kick dance sort of way, her leg caught on something potruding out of the snow, which made her tumble backwards into the cold sinking blanket of white.

"Bah!" she shouted, spitting out the snow from her mouth. She turned to the object that she had trip on and swore in Gem. Protruding our of the ground, like a tiny green skull was the broken form of a flask robonoid.

"Another one damaged? What are these clods doing ?" The Peridot fumed. She picture herself punishing the gems herself and it gave her a certain relaxed glee. Taking a deep breath, the corners of her lips turn upward into an unsettling smile, before muttering towards the gems that were at the station.

She was just a stone throw away from the entrance of the underground station. The thought of clobbering the incompetent gems with metal objects spurred her on. The blizzards blinding gust was shielded by the canopy set up at the main entrance of the station, so she could see the main hatch door clearly. And to her utter outrage the pile of strewn flask robonoids on the walkway. Peridot blew her gasket.

"Are you gems just just insane super clods?! These robonoids cost a significant amount of resources. More valuable them any of you super clods," she yelled into the communicator, caring not if they could hear.

The sound of static did not deter her from her angry rant.

As she slammed her fist hard in the doors control panel it open slowly to show a ransacked inside.

Too angry to realise the ransacked conditions of the base. That gems weren't the only ones inside.

It was then that the Peridot realised that perhaps the gems were not the only ones inside the base.

Drip, drip, drip.

Something gooey, slowly dripped from the ceiling of the lab onto the gem's.

"What in Homeworld is this," she said startled.

Wiping the goo off her visor, she realised it was some sort of mucus like substance.

There was a strange hissing coming from above her.

A hissing like sound, like hot gas escaping a crystal ship.

She slowly turned upwards to see what was causing this leakage.

A pair of slit like eyes stared back at her, connected to a reptilian like jaw that salivated as it eyed it's prey.

"Oh stars!" Peridot screeched as the beast lunged at her.

It was surprisingly strong for an organic creature, as it tried to snap at her gem.

This panicked the Peridot even more.

"It know my weakness, but how!" she thought to herself. With little effort the creature pinned her arms on the floor.

"What are you?" the Peridot cried.

The creature didn't answered and went straight for the gem. One snap of it's jaw and the Peridot felt a surge of pain course throughout her light construct body.

Those fangs weren't made of weak bone. They were built to crush gems.

"This is it! I'm going to be shattered," the Peridot cried out in alarm.

But the creature suddenly stopped and let go. It's face twisted in pain, a greenish substance flowed out of it's back. It was wounded, and the cause of it was a white gem dagger stuck in it's side.

Howling in pain, it pulled the dagger out, and turned to face the thrower.

Though in pain, the Peridot managed to catch of glimpsed of her rescuer.

A tall white gem, which was fully armoured. Her battle visor fully activated, covering her face. Unlike a Jasper's helmet, her helmet cover her entire face. In her hand, she had a intimidating, huge crescent like sabre.

The creature hissed at the new comer. The gem just stood there unmoved by the creatures advances. Then without warning it lunged at her. With fluid like motion, as graceful as a dancer but as deadly as a scorpion, the white gem delivered a coupe de gras slicing the creatures head off.

The Peridot took in deep breathes, trying to calm herself down. Trying to make sense of the situation.

The white gem walked towards her.

"Thank you for saving me," she said.

To her shock pointed the blade towards her.

"What are you doing? I'm on you're side!" the Peridot cried out.

"What did it do to you?" The white warrior asked. Her blade nearing to the Peridot's Gem.

"What do you mean?!"

The Peridot shouted in fear.

"Did it fuse with you?"

The warrior interrogated.

"Stars no!"

"Don't lie!"

"Don't worry, she's not compromised," another voice from the cavern said.

Another white gem appeared.

Are you all White Diamonds court?!n the Peridot said excitedly.

The legendary White Diamond Court.

She had rumours they had existed. But were sent off on a mission by White to curb a threat. A threat that were said to be just an urban legend. The Snekk.

"You just met one of them," the Quartz replied.
