- Wake up -

- "Where I am? I was supposed to be in my room until recently, did I die?... Hmmmmm, it certainly wouldn't be such a far-fetched idea, after all that energy was very unpredictable and difficult to handle, I don't know what the hell I was thinking when try to absorb it…"

- "Anyway, now what am I supposed to do, this place is not inside my gem... everything is dark and messy here" I thought as I wandered from one side to another. The place was almost totally black like a sea of ​​ink, the only thing that stood out was the grayish fog that made the ground, I wouldn't have noticed it if it wasn't for the fact that it emitted a faint glow. I walked for hours without finding anything, at least this time if I could feel my body, and I can safely say that now it is some kind of strange shapeless mass...

After an indefinite time, I got to the point of wanting to give up, that is until I perceived a strangely familiar sensation, it was like a little tug that pulled me from the chest and told me which way to go, so I listened to my senses and moved towards where I felt it more strongly. The further I advanced I could see a dim light in the distance, the closer I got it became stronger, until finally I reached the source of that beautiful light, which like a beacon dispelled the darkness in that dark endless abyss. It was like a small sun, golden and immaculate, just floating in the void, or so it seemed from afar, because when I got closer... It was a kind of... Ball of yarn?...

I know it will sound crazy, but when I got closer, I realized that it was indeed a ball of golden yarn about 30 cm in diameter, very tangled and with countless extremely fine and shiny threads like gold, threads, the which came out of it and intertwined in a beautiful fabric, for seconds later to sink into the thick fog that made up the ground of the place and disappear...

- "This is quite strange?", I don't know if that's the right word to describe it, but with everything that has happened to me so far, I guess it doesn't surprise me anymore... - "Well, what am I supposed to do? should I touch it?" At this point I didn't care about anything anymore, I mean, I had nothing to lose at that moment, I couldn't find a way out of that place, I didn't know if I had really died or not, and at that point I didn't care anymore, however, I felt that this place was trying to show me something I didn't understand, it was as if something was encouraging me to get hold of that little ball of yarn.

So, I touched it and absolutely nothing happened… - "Is that all? I WALKED FOR WHO KNOWS HOW LONG FOR NOTHING?!!!" I guess by this point I should be world-renowned for speaking ahead of time... Since about 20 seconds later, a very bright White light came out of my etheric body at the same time that I took on my true appearance for no apparent reason, that is, the shape that I chose in my gem before I emerged… The ball of yarn also shone brightly in gold and rose into the sky, if the black void above my head can be called that…

In short, hundreds of billions of countless threads came out of this until they were completely unraveled, there was no longer a ball of yarn, just a sea of ​​very messy golden threads that tried to invade my body as they could, I tried to resist, but to no avail, these were impregnated in me, my soul and my very essence were intertwined with the infinite sea of ​​threads that now existed within me.

From my body, millions of threads, now completely white and bright like the stars themselves, came out and were lost in the fog that gradually dissipated, revealing something that I did not expect. Underneath the fog, the threads that came out of my body intertwined to form a kind of giant network that apparently had no end, a golden network, which little by little was invaded by the threads of my body losing all its color until it was dressed in the purest and brightest white, a network of the which I was the center.

I couldn't understand what was happening at all, the space around me suddenly started to completely distort and everything around me started to shatter and fall apart, the world itself was shattering like mirror glass after receiving a strong blow. I couldn't finish turning the gears in my head when suddenly and without any warning I felt a strong pull on my chest that expelled me from the place and left me unconscious.

......

Meanwhile in the real world...

- "STOP RESISTING, YOU DAMN ORGANIC!" Pyropus claimed as he waved his hand fan, thus generating a strong storm of flames in the large control room of the ship.

- "DON'T THINK YOU CAN STOP ME WITH ONLY THIS!" Thor replied as he waved his hammer in the air generating immense blasts of energy that dissipated the fiery flame that threatened to hit him. And in a blink, he appeared in front of Piropo, being only one step away from breaking him.

However, just before achieving his goal, Demantoid raised the robotic arm of his suit and shot a powerful beam of light energy into his face that blinded him for a moment, giving Piropo enough time to gain distance and kick him hard in the face. the chest that sent him flying 50 meters, crashing into the crystallized alloy wall, stunning him for a couple of seconds.

- "ARE YOU WELL PYROPO!?" demantoid

- "Yes... just a little exhausted, I'm afraid that... we are not strong enough to eliminate that organic" answered Piropo with a seriously exhausted look. – "Yes… we have only fought with that thing for about 2 minutes and we were about to lose" Demantoid replied to his teammate.

- "You... How dare you... I WILL DESTROY YOU ALL!" In less than a second and without warning, Thor, who seconds ago was trapped in the wall, suddenly appeared enveloped in a dangerous sea of ​​blue lightning which hit both gems considerably weakening them, Thor came running and gave a strong blow with his hammer aimed at Demantoid who could not dodge in time being pierced in less than 2 seconds and breaking him, generating a small but powerful explosion that took Thor a couple of steps away from Piropo, who would be the next on the list.

- "NOOOOOOOO! HOW DARE YOU?, SUFFER MY WRATH!" at that moment, Piropo was enveloped in a great storm of crimson flames that threatened to disintegrate everything, the console, walls, floor and ceiling of the control room in the ship melted into liquid crystal that fell like volcanic lava in all directions, causing the ship to begin to plummet, passing through the planet's atmosphere in a few seconds like an asteroid that threatened to eliminate anyone who was close to the impact zone. This naturally alerted all the Gems and Asgardians on the planet, but it was too late, in the time it takes to breathe, the ship crashed into the research facility near the Beta Kindergarten, wreaking havoc and annihilating both Gems and Asgardians. Asgardians alike with the massive explosion that caught everyone off guard...

Just before these events, the sudden sea of ​​flames and descent of the ship, caught Thor completely off guard and he tried to escape without any success, all thanks to an angry Piropo that grabbed him by the feet at the last second, preventing his escape.

- "Hello honey, surprised? YOU SHOULD NOT BE HAHAHAHAHA! If I am going to be destroyed... You will come with me" Piropo said with a playful voice and an air from beyond the grave in the last sentence to Thor, who at that moment had a face stupidly surprised, although it was more out of anger than fear of dying, for seconds later, both of them were victims of the huge explosion.

Half an hour after the ship crashed, into a huge crater, in the midst of a storm of fire, debris, colored smoke, and ash falling from the sky like a gentle snowfall... a single, deep crimson gem knelt and with thick tears in her eyes, with the fragments of a green gem in her hand… – "Did I… win?" He asked the air, while looking at the now black sky because of the explosion. what he didn't expect was that half a second later a disheveled Thor would appear in front of him and then slice him in two with his hammer...

At that moment, thousands of memories flooded Pyrope's mind...

......

flash-back

- 'The darkness… feels… so empty'

- 'Where I am? Will I ever... know something more than this infinite loneliness?' a small gem wondered in a sea of ​​darkness 30 km underground... Seconds later, it would emerge, finding the light it so longed for...

- "HELLO WELCOME TO THE WORLD!"???

- "WOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" Pyrope yelled, surprised at the sudden cry of the stranger.

- "Ohh, I'm so sorry... It's the first time that another Garnet like me emerges on this planet, I guess I got too excited, sorry..." The green gem said a little embarrassed, which seconds later introduced itself as Demantoid AX3 001.

Weeks after that… the two formed a close relationship, becoming friends. During that time, their main hobby when they had free time was talking, they talked about many things… About their dreams, hopes, how much they wanted their Diamond to succeed and conquer the entire universe to imbue it with its beauty and brilliance…

A little later, they found themselves on top of one of the many buildings in the small town, the one with the most magnificent view of all...

- "Hey Pyrope... What is your dream?" Demantoid asked his inseparable co-worker and friend.

- "I... I want to protect this empire, my Diamond and... I want to protect you" He answered while they both held hands.

- "Friends?" demantoid

- "Friends" Pyrope

- "FRIENDS!" they both shouted happily in unison as they watched the sunset…

End of flash back

......

- "Forgive me for not being able to protect you... Demi" Pyrope said in a whisper as he was pierced and memories invaded his mind.

- "GLORY TO WHITE DIAMOND!" It was the last thing he managed to say just before losing consciousness.

- ¡PUFFFF! –

- "DAMN, I COULDN'T GET INFORMATION FROM YOU!" Thor claimed extremely annoyed by the previous events, however, a few meters from him a small green gem approached without his knowledge, which carried a lightsaber in its hands ready to kill him...

- Crack -

- "…"

......

Peridot's perspective

- 'I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'M GOING TO DIE!', were the thoughts of PERIDOT who was hidden behind one of the huge pillars of the ship's control room, waiting the right time to run away. He was horribly scared as the scene unfolded before his eyes, everything was wrong, his Diamond has not regenerated, they are in the midst of an alien invasion of highly evolved organics, and to top it off they risked the planet of their precious Diamond was taken by force... Demantoid had been destroyed and Pyrope had decided to use all his power to finish off the organic at the cost of destroying the ship...

- `This can't be happening; I HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE FAST! ` At that moment Peridot managed to sneak into the main corridor, heading towards one of the millions of escape capsules of the ship with the intention of leaving, however, at that moment explosions were heard throughout the ship when from one moment to another the It began to fall at full speed, generating a loud shrill noise, coming from the collapsing structure, so that a moment later, a strong shock wave sent Peridot flying, who by then was already inside the capsule, puffing it...

Minutes after the explosion, only smoke and debris could be seen and among these, there was Peridot who regenerated as fast as she could and was trying to get out. About 20 minutes later, he managed to see Pyropus crying in the distance with the Demantoid fragments in his hands... Pyropus was only about 15 meters in front of him... He was about to go to comfort him when suddenly and without warning he looked in horror as Piropo was puffed in front of his eyes leaving his gem at the feet of that horrible monster...

Himself, who was about to break the crimson gem that fell just a few centimeters from him... This ignited the fury in his non-existent heart and without thinking he summoned his weapon, which is not supposed to exist since he is a technical-type gem. and or administrative, even so, he slowly approached the organic, himself who was totally unprepared and about to break his partner's gem, Peridot with his spear in hand was just a few steps away and about to stick it in some vital point when he stepped on accidentally a shard of glass that made an audible - Crack - which alerted the organic to his presence...

The last thing he saw before being puffed was the indifferent face of that organic that hit him with his hammer right in the stomach, destabilizing his physical form and returning him to his gem...

......

A few minutes after that, Fandral entered the scene, while Thor deliberated whether to destroy the gems in his hands or wait for them to "Revive" to extract as much information as possible from them and even experiment with them.

- "Thor, this small civilization is very strong, although we have destroyed millions of them, they continue to come from who knows where, we don't know what to do anymore..." claimed Fandral who appeared on the scene full of destruction, rubble and colored flames...

- "I know, these damn things are difficult to kill, and very problematic too" Thor answered with an irritated face - "ALL I WANT IS TO END THIS QUICKLY TO GO TO MY PALACE AND HAVE A GOOD TIME WITH BEAUTIFUL WOMEN!" I emphasize with exasperation in his voice

- "THOR!" Sif called from a distance as she flew on a Pegasus until she was in front of Thor…

- "This city is about to fall, the explosion of the ship killed many of our enemies, fortunately, we were able to withdraw part of the army so we did not have many losses" He informed with regret in his voice.

- "That... it's fine, we couldn't do anything to avoid it, just make sure that we manage to completely take over this damn planet in a short time" Thor answered, from one moment to another, the discussion stopped abruptly, in less than a minute, all the revolt that was taking place around the planet stopped and not a single sound was heard other than the wind and the breathing of those who had the need to breathe in order to live... The Asgardians were surprised to see how all the gems in the planet dropped their weapons and knelt solemnly, all with their attention in the direction of the crater where the ship crashed, the same one that was once the place where the research center where White's gem was kept...

Seconds later, an enormous pressure was felt in the air that forced almost the entire Asgardian army to subconsciously hold their breath. Moments later, a resplendent light covered them like a warm blanket of comforting light, at least, it was for the gems, for the rest of the spectators... it felt as if death itself was pointing a sword at their necks...

Suddenly, that Light was focused in one place and a small translucent gem emerged from the rubble rising into the air a few hundred meters from Thor's group, in view of all those present, gems and Asgardians were showered with its light, which completely overshadowed the light of the star of that solar system, and when the light reached its brightest point, an enormous amorphous mass made of that same light, began to surround the little gem until it formed a giant body , this time more than 20 meters high...

- "GLORY TO WHITE, GLORY TO THE EMPIRE" at that moment all the gems on the planet acclaimed in chorus as one soul, fervently worshiping their creator and sole lord.

- "WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!?... that pressure is comparable to the mystical aura that Odin radiates... No, it's even stronger..." were the only words Sif could say...

While Thor on the other hand was stunned and stupidly standing in that spot as usual...

- "I guess that thing is the one we should defeat?" Thor asked nervously, surprising everyone, since in his voice you could feel something that no one had ever conceived, not even in their craziest nightmares, the true Terror...

A second later the light disappeared, allowing them to observe a being of absurd beauty who was like a god levitating in the air hundreds of meters high and looking at them with a look that radiated hatred and bloodlust that made them want to urinate. in his pants...

His figure was firm and solemn, with the dignity and bearing of a king, no... Of an emperor, beautiful white and immaculate robes, with a beauty that not even the finest silks made in Asgard by the goddesses of sewing could conceive. ... and a severity in his look that only the most worthy and powerful gods of Asgard possessed...

......….

White's perspective.

After regaining consciousness, I realized that I was inside my gem again, as if everything that had gone before had been a dream or a nightmare... But the proof that it was not so, is that under my feet, in the on the ground there were countless white threads that stretched infinitely into the distance, disappearing into the horizon of what was inside my gem...

Somehow, I felt a little different, a little smarter and... Strong? I guess something similar... At that moment I decided not to waste any more time and regenerate myself, I decided to keep the same appearance, only a little taller to look more intimidating in case of any invasion…

I've been gone for some time and my gems must be very worried about me right now... Besides, we're in a dangerous situation, we need to prepare for a possible alien invasion...

And without further ado the familiar feeling of weightlessness washed over me, and when I came to my senses and opened my eyes, I was shocked by the scene that loomed in front of me...

Millions of gems destroyed... The city that cost us so much to build completely destroyed, the kindergarten in ruins... and what looked like Vikings? Looking at me in awe with an expression of terror while my remaining gems were on their knees praising my return… a somewhat curious scene, but that does not take away from the fact that my precious gems and my planet were damaged… When I thought of the effort it took us to achieve everything what was now in ruins and in the gems that were destroyed... An uncontrollable anger completely invaded me, increasing my brightness and unknowingly distorting the space around me...

- "WHO WAS THE ONE THAT DID ALL THIS!?" I asked with a voice from beyond the grave, while my eyes traveled to all those present until I reached a huge crater where my research institute was once... And there, I could see something that I did not expect to find even in my craziest and most horrible nightmares... - 'WAS THAT THE FUCKING THORRRRRRR!!!!!?????'

Among the rubble a disheveled Thor with a slight expression of fear and horror was standing totally stiff and with a pair of red and green gems respectively resting in his hands... when I realized who the gems were that were prisoners in his hands. hands I didn't care anymore, - 'THAT SON OF A BITCH WILL PAY ME!' doesn't matter if it's a goddamn god of asgard or whatever, if you touch my gems…I WILL DESTROY YOU!!!
