Jade walks to the room still thinking about last night she gets to Emma's door, she takes a deep breath and enters the bedroom.

She quietly steps to the side of the bed seeing a peaceful sleeping Emma cuddling Mr Noddles while sucking her thumb.

Jade looked at her confused

She looks to be a preteen

Why is a twelve year old sucking her thumb?

She just shook the question out of head, she stretched out her hand "Princess it's time to wake up." She spoke softly lightly shaking her

"No five more minutes Raphie." Emma waves her arm around turning the other way.

Raphie?

Who's Raphie?

"Uh no your highness it's Jade you have to get up the Queen will be angry if you don't meet her in the royal dining room on time." Jade shakes her again

Emma sits up yawning stretching her arms over her head as her thick blond bed hair rested on her head. "Good Morning Jade!"

"Good morning your majesty." Jade smiled bowing "Its time to start the day."

"Ok." Emma hops out of bed walking to the closet "Uh Jade?"

"Yes princess?" Jade walks to the closet

"How do you work this closet?" Emma asked with a confused face standing in the middle of the massive closet.

"Oh that's alright!" Jade smiled going to the doorway typing on a hologram.

"Greets Princess!" A robotic voice chirps making Emma squeak in surprise. "W-Who are you?"

"I am Fashontastica!" The voice said happily "I am your personally stylist to help you be the fabulous and gracious princess you are!"

"Cool!" Emma's eyes sparkles she then see a pink dress "Ooh this dress is pretty!" She twirls holding the dress to see how she would look in it.

Suddenly the closet flashes bright red

"I'm sorry princess but that is violation of the royal dress code." A robot hand takes the dress away "No dress should be ankle length."
It takes a ruler measuring the dress

Emma thought for a moment "What do you think I should wear Jade?" She turns to her servant who looked at her surprise

"Me? O-Oh I don't think I have the authority to choose your wardrobe." Jade waves her arms shaking her head.

"Oh come it'll be fun!" Emma grabs her hand bring here into the closet.

Jade looks around at the different style until she came across a dress that caught her eye.

"Maybe this one?" She holds up the dress she picked

Emma's eyes sparkled as she grabs the dress running to the curtain to put it on, she walks out wearing the dress "I love it I love it I love it!" She twirls around giggling.

"Hey ya wanna do my hair?" Emma asked wiggling her eyebrows with a smile

Jade couldn't help but smile too

"Sure!"

......................................

"What would you like to do princess?" Jade asked holding a hair brush as Emma sat in front of her looking into the mirror.

"Whatever you wanna do Jade!" Emma sat patiently

Jade couldn't believe it

She was taught to follow orders and do as she was told

But Emma was giving her choice to do whatever she wanted

Jade started to brush Emma's and begins to style it, twisting and wrapping her hair.

She finished, taking a step back looking at her work "W-What do you think?"

Emma looks at her hair that was two space buns "Wow Jade this really good you should do hair more often."

"Thank you your highness!" Jade smiled taking a glance at the clock "Oh no we have to go we're gonna be late."

"Not on my watch!" Emma stands up from the chair "Hey wanna see a magic trick?"

"With all due respect Princess we don't have time for a magic trick." Jade looks at the clock scared

"No it's ok it'll help us." Emma nods "Just grab my hands." Jade does as she's told and grabs her hands

"And take a big deep breath."

Jade takes a deep breath

Emma blinks her eyes teleporting them to the front door of the dining hall. The two guards jump surprised that fact that the princess popped out of nowhere.

"Tada Magic!" Emma does jazz hands

"Incredible." Jade looked at her amazed

"Hey you can't use sorcery it's forbidden!" One of the soldiers went to grab Emma

"Hey boozo! Have you cracked your gem that's princess Emerald the Queens late sister's daughter." The other soldier looks at her partner scared looking at Emma

The soldier's face goes white "Ah I'm sorry your majesty! That was very disrespectful! If you have to punish me I understand!" The solider repeatedly bows, Emma's eyes bounce up and down with her motion before her eyes go to fast and gets dizzy.

"It's ok I'm not gonna punish you." Emma holds her head still to stop her eyes from bouncing.

The soldier suddenly stopped "Y-You're not?"

"No silly it was just a accident." Emma taps her arm making the soldier freeze up from her warm kind touch.

"Um princess?" Jade opens the door gesturing inside

"Oh right!" Emma rubs the back of head embarrassed walking in "It was nice meeting um ..."

"Jasper! .. uh Soldier Jasper your majesty." The soldier honorably salutes.

"Well have a good day Jasper!" Emma waves to the soldier before her and Jade go in.

"She wants me to have a good day?" Jasper stood at her post confused and then gets happy. "You just talked to royalty!" The soldier beside her cheers as they put their hands together, jumping up and down fangirling.

......................................

Jade bowed before standing at her post

Emma walks up to long extravagant table "Good Morning Aunt Onyx." Emma bows

"Good morning child." Onyx grateful sips from a Crystal glass "Sit" she gestures. A servant pulls out the chair for Emma as she sat down and pushes it in but she pushes it in too close to the table making Emma let a "oof."

Onyx opens an eye flashing the servant a look causing the girl to scoot the chair back and speed walk out of the room.

"I did some thinking last night." Onyx sets the glass down.

"Oh." Emma asked looking a little scared sipping her orange juice.

"I've come to realize that I might have been too harsh on you." Onyx looks at her "It slipped my mind that you are not use to your new environment, you have to understand that as princess you have to be aware of the rules and laws but you'll learn that soon enough after your coronation."

Emma's eye goes wide as she spits out the orange juice. She looks to see she spit it out on the servant standing right beside her "Oops s-sorry."

"No need to apologize it's an honor to be spit on by royalty." The servant bows before turning to clean himself up.

"Coronation?! You didn't say anything about a coronation!" Emma leans on the table

"Well it's very obvious that you can not be labeled officially without a coronation." Onyx shrugs her shoulders

"No way I'm not doing a coronation!" Emma stands up from her chair "Your rules aren't fair to anyone and they don't help the people of the kingdom."

"Well when you're queen you can make you're own rules but while I am in charge like it or not you will obey them!" Onyx stands up from her seat looking her eye to eye.

"Now I will be attending matters to your special day because you think the peasants are so important Obsidian will chaperone you with soldiers though out the village." Onyx starts to walk out of the room

"What?!" Obsidian breaks out of her trance "My Queen you can't possibly make me set foot in that filthy-" She stops her rant as soon as she saw Onyx standing over her with a angry raised eyebrow.

"Are you questioning me?" Onyx growled.

"N-N-No Your highness." Obsidian blushes taking a step back

Emma sits at the table with her mouth open

Onyx turns waking out of the room.

Obsidian groans annoyed "Ugh come along princess let's get this over with." Obsidian stomps towards the main doors as Emma and Jade followed her.

......................................

The three girls casually walk in the middle of the street of the village.

The village people were looking at her not knowing if they should offer gifts or even look at her.

Emma looks at a man who has a stand laying down fruit, Emma waves at the man giving him a kind smile but he just shakes in fear looking the other way.

"Ugh how much longer do you wish to stay down here princess? There's dirt getting all over my dress." Obsidian groans lifting her dress up so it wouldn't get more dirty.

"Oh come on Obsidian a little dirt never hurt anybody!" Emma smirks seeing a puddle and jumping in it slightly splashing Obsidian's dress.

"Your majesty that is very unladylike!"
Obsidian brushes off her dress, starting to lose patience with the young girl.

"Come on Obsidian lighten up." Emma puts her arm over her "I've got four older brothers you can't be ladylike 24/7 ya gotta be gross sometimes." Emma let's out a burp in her ear "As my brother Leo says 'better the attic and not the basement'" she pats her chest as Obsidian looks at her in disgust

Jade and Jasper couldn't help laugh a little

Emma was rebelling all of the rules and being unladylike and she didn't care.

"Haha I haven't had this much fun with royalty since the late Princess Amethyst!" Jasper laughs

"You knew my mom?!" Emma grabs her armor exited.

"Well sure before Queen Onyx was Queen princess Amethyst would always brighten up the day with her smile, or her kindness, or her singing."

"She use to sing?" Emma asked her eyes sparkled.

"Absolutely her singing was so beautiful it could melt the coldest heart." Jasper sighs remember her mother's singing.

"Queen Diamond was a good teacher and great leader ." Obsidian nods along.

"Really my Aunt Sapphire said that she was a dictator." Emma tilts her head

"That traitor doesn't know anything! Queen Diamond was fair and respected leader princess Amethyst was a troublemaker and her reckless behavior is what let her be shunned and banished." Obsidian huffs as she walks pass the three of them.

"Hey my mom wasn't-" Emma glared at her about to correct her until she heard what sound like music.

She turns the corner to see a band playing sad off beat music trying to earn money but people just walked by ignoring them.

"Hey guys how's it going?" Emma approach's the band

"Terrible!" The man leaning on the cello huffed "If we can't make some money soon we'll have to do grimmer work." He points a thumb at a man in dirty hammy downs scooping horse manure

"I'd rather be shattered than do that!" A woman holding a trumpet shook her head sticking her tongue out.

"Don't worry I'll help you." Emma smiles.

"You will?" A man holding a keyboard asked

"Absolutely Tootley!" Emma gave a thumbs up "Nothing that a Emmisc can't fix." Emma starts to get on the stage "ooo this is like karaoke!"

"Princess Emerald!"

"And right on cue miss killjoy." Emma rolled her eyes seeing Obsidian, Jade, and Jasper

"Get away from those peasants you don't know where they've been!" Obsidian marches over to them.

"They're not peasants they're musicians and they need my help." Emma grabs the microphone. "With the power of music!" She does jazz hands with glitter in her eyes.

"Ooo that sounds fun!" Jasper squeals

"No it does not! And You are forbidden to do any form of sorrier if Queen Onyx saw thing you will be in big trouble."

"But Aunt Onyx isn't here." Emma wiggles her eyebrows with a smirk "Beside I haven't been here for a long time but I can tell that it's been a while since anybody had any fun around here."

"I think it'll be a great experience." Jade smiles making Emma squeal that she was participating

"Don't you dare in courage this immaturity and ruthless behavior-" Obsidian got close in Jades face poking her chest but admittedly stopped talking Jade opens her eyes to see Obsidian tugging at her now zipper shut mouth

"Now that problem is taken care of, anybody got a song request?" Emma looks around people coming into a crowd.

Jasper thinks for a moment and gets a bright smile on her face "I think I do!"

"Well come on up here!" Emma gestured her to come up stage.

Jasper goes up to the band and whispers his request in his ear. The leader of group starts to grow a big smile on his face.

"The Gembalooza!" The leader yells in excitement looking at this band members

"We haven't played that in years!!" The dummer cheers with drumsticks in his hand

"What's the Gembalooza?" Emma asked confused

"You'll see." Jasper smirks jumping off the stage.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

The band starts to play an upbeat tune of music.

Emma listen to the beat, her body started to vibrate as her eyes suddenly turned purple and gets a smile on her face.

"Princess are you ok?" Jade put a hand on her shoulder.

2!

A woman's singing voice comes out of Emma's mouth as she takes a few steps towards the end of stage, doing front flip onto the ground.

Gems the world unite,
Strength in numbers, we can get it right,
One time!

Emma and Jasper chants together in harmony looking at each with joy. At the same time they stretch their arms out like their on a step team.

(We are a part of the rhythm nation)

The spectators in the village couldn't help but come together with them, it was the first time anyone had ever heard music in years.

With Music by my side,
To break the other line,

Emma starts to step into the middle of the crowd of people dancing.

Let's work together to improve our way of life, (Gems United)

Emma gestured the people of kingdoms to join her, she puts her hands in her hair and bows bring her head up as she unleashed her hair.

This is the test,
No struggle, no progress,

Emma points at one side as they joined in dancing and then the other side as they all started to dance.

Lend a hand
Help a another do their best

"How does she know this song?" Jasper raises an eyebrow, she hadn't heard this song in forever but somehow Emma knew ever word.

"It's best not to question it." Jade shrugs her shoulders, her knowing best not to question Emma's randomness. "Come on!" She grabs Jaspers hand pulling her into the party.

Obsidian looks at what's going on around her, she pulls at the zipper and finally get it open.

Groaning  in anger she takes out a black communicator opening it  "Get me Queen Diamond now!"

.........

"I will not hold I demand to speak to her!"

.................

"Ugh very well I'll hold!"

Obsidian stomps over to the gathered crowd with her communicator starting to record what's going on for proof, she pushes and elbows people to give her room.

(We are a part of the rhythm nation)
Oh, oh, oh, oh!

Obsidian looks though the crowd of people listening to the voice singing, She finally finds the source of the singing and what she saw made her drop the communicator in shock.

(ain't nobody) ain't no body!
(loves me better) loves me better
(makes me happy) makes me feel that way!

Emma was dancing in the middle of the split crowd but a figment of a blond woman was behind attached to her mimicking her movements.

It was her mother from a memory from her own coronation.

Emma looks at Obsidian with a smile gesturing her to join her.

"Absolutely not!" Obsidian crosses her arms looking away protesting. One man rolls his eyes and pushes her towards Emma who catches her in her chest.

"Come on!" Emma brings her with the crowd.

"Princess this is forbidden the queen will-"

"Obsidian just because you're her servant doesn't mean you have to follow everything she says, you're your own person, you're allowed to have fun." Emma looks deep in her eyes.

Obsidian softens her face soaking in her words

She was so use to not speaking her mind

Keeping her mouth shut

Was it time for her to have fun?

Could this be the day where she could be her own person?

"Now come on dance with me!!" Emma twirls her around.

Obsidian does a small two step, a little shy it was her first time dancing and she didn't know how to do it.

Emma saw she was having trouble and looks at the band, crossing her eyes and squishing her cheek as a signal to make the music sillier

The band smiles giving her a thumbs playing a silver beat

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom (Boom, boom, boom)

Emma sings in her voice to Obsidian as other people joined.

Bitty bitty boom, woo! (Bitty bitty boom, woo)

She blows a raspberry, the people copy her she couldn't help but giggle at her copycats.

Zippido, zippido, da, huh! (Zippido, zippido, da, huh!)

Emma twirls Obsidian around then brings her close, Obsidian give a smile for the first time in forever.

Boom bang boom bang bang (Boom bang boom bang bang)

Obsidian gets the upper hand, enjoying herself as they do a wild two step holding each other's hands

(Similar time the 1920s dancing)

......................................

Onyx looks over at different velvet carpet with a designer "Hmm this carpet could have more stitching around the sides I want ever to be perfect for my nieces coronation."

A servant comes into the room looking very scared as she holds a padded folder tip toeing towards the queen "Um y-you majesty?"

"Ugh please Spinel you know how much I hate your stuttering." Onyx rolls her eyes rubbing her head trying to massage her headache, not even looking at her.

"Y-Yes your h-highness b-but there is s-something you should s-see." Spinel holds out the pad for her to take "I-It's O-Obsidian she's asking f-for you."

"Ugh what trouble is Emerald causing her now." Onyx rolls her eyes holding her hand out as Spinel puts the tablet in her hand. She pulls up the hologram and enhances the live stream, she sees Emma dancing with the villagers having a good time.

She grows an annoyed face watching how immature and childish her niece is, suddenly Obsidian appears in the frame joining her in the dancing.

Onyx face quickly turns outraged slamming the tablet on the ground scaring her servant "Spinel." She growls though her teeth "Get the soldiers ready now."

"Yes Q-Queen Onyx." Spinel quickly bows leaving the room. Onyx takes a deep breath and walks out the room, stepping on top of the tablet breaking it.

Boom bang boom bang bang

The people standing in four lines like a square dance

Do your thing.... make my body sing

Everyone does a cart well in the air to the opposite side of themselves, Emma twirls Obsidian than being her close who just laughs.

We are apart of the rhythm nation...

D-Do your thing, (do your thing)

Boom boom boom, bang bang bang

Do your thing...wah, wah, wah, waahh...........

Everyone moonwalks and does their own version of a silly dance.

"What is happening to my face?!" Obsidian feels her face smiling, freaking out. "Is my face broken h-have I been shattered."

"No silly it's calls smiling." Emma laughs "It what happens when you're happy."

"I-I've never been h-happy before." Obsidian continues touching her face.

"Well maybe this is a start." Emma puts her hands down giving her a wink.

"Hey Servant girl!" Obsidian turns to see the band jamming out "Wanna grab at the mic?" The leader holds out the microphone.

Obsidian looks at Emma who smiled widely who nudges her.

Obsidian gets on stage and grabs the mic, she looks out at the crowd people having a good time laughing and dancing. She smiles again feeling a new feeling in her chest

It was happiness

I don't care what people say!

Obsidian sings into the mic, Emma's mouth slightly dropped she had never heard Obsidian sing and she was surprisingly very good.

Gonna do it my way
Gonna do it my way

People gathered around cheering her on, Obsidian could feel a spark in her chest as she continued to sing

Do my thing with a boom boom boom and bang bang bang

We are apart of rhythm nation

Obsidian jumps off stage and dances with the others the villagers join in singing together as everyone stomps their feet's in harmony.

Show me what your working with

Jasper takes Jades hand who squeaks in surprise spinning her around and dipping her while wiggling her eyebrows, Jade blushes bright red as she giggles.

Do your thing (let's dance, let's shout)

Emma felt like she similarly did back home having a good time as she danced with different people laughing and twirling around.

She looked to see Jasper and Jade dancing with each other and Obsidian dancing with a boy.

Do your thing
Make my body sing
Do your thing

Suddenly they here horses and soldiers coming towards, the people in the crowd spread out some even running away.

"Oh no." Emma looked wide eyed seeing her Aunt walking angrily yet gracefully with her hands behind her back.

The band grabbed their instruments trying to leave but two soldiers strike them with tasers design in a staff, the members started to twitch as they couldn't move.

That's when villagers started to run, not wanting to feel the Queens wrath. A little girl tried to run away but trips falling to the ground.

A solider pulls back her staff about to strike her but Emma slides in between them holding her hand out putting up a force field.

"Leave her alone!" Emma swings her leg towards the staff and grabs it, she twirls it like a staff and stabs it into the ground as she bends it doing cartwheel midair kicking the solider down.

The little girl in amazement looks at Emma who throws the staff to the side "Go! Go find your mommy Go!!" She instructs the girl who runs towards a woman, the woman holds her daughter and runs as fast as she could.

Emma looks towards her Aunt who has the soldiers stand beside Jasper, Jade, and Obsidian.

Emma takes a deep breath, knowing they were in trouble she walks towards the palace as Onyx looks at her niece in disgust as she starts to walk.

......................................

"I can't not believe you! Making a scene like that embarrassing yourself!" Onyx scowls her niece, Jade and Obsidian stand side by side afraid to speak without angering the Queen

"Making a scene? We were just having fun something that you wouldn't let people do!" Emma argued back, she had enough of her Aunt being so cruel to the people below her.

"Ugh you are even worse than your mother!" Onyx rubs her eye to relax it "You're both so immature and childish! If she would of stayed here and refill her duties instead of that filthy rock she would have been fine, but nooooooo instead she ran away from her problems and look where that got her married to a demon freak and having a half breed child!" She narrows her eyes coldly as she rants

Emma's eye twitches as she snarled her fangs, she had heard enough of her comments about her mother "You don't know anything about my mom I DIDN'T GET TO KNOW MY MOM!" Emma stomps her foot as she felt tears in her eyes

"But what I do know is that she was kind and caring and saw beauty in everything and everyone even in selfish, judgement, SELF OBSESSED PEOPLE LIKE YOU!!!!" A bright pink diamond glowed on her forehead, Emma eyes glowed pink with a veil boiling on her neck as her anger demonic echo scream shook the room, literally

Obsidian and Jade Gained their balance and looked at each other, they have never seen Emma anger or even aggressive for that matter.

Onyx stares at her angrily as Emma starts to stomp away "Emerald you stop this instant we are not finished!" Her gem started to glow.

"Well I am!" Emma stomps towards the door but the two soldiers block the exist "Hey let me out of here!"

The soldiers didn't say a word. Emma couldn't help but stare into their eyes, they just stared off into space, they didn't even blink it looked their eyes were almost .... lifeless.

"Emerald!" She turns to see her Aunt standing above her. "You are not going anywhere until apologizing for embarrassing yourself and associating with those lowlifes!"

Emma stood talk looking her dead in her eye

"No."

That response pushed Onyx over the edge as she grabbed Emma's arm and shoves the doors open walking down the hall "I've had just enough of your bratty behavior!" She goes up a flight of stairs while Emma struggles to loosen her grip

They finally make it to a rundown wooden door as she opens it throwing Emma inside as the little girl falls to the stone cold floor hard.

"You will stay in here until you learn to be obedient and respectful." Onyx slams the door then turns to Jade and Obsidian, she grabs Jade by her gem squeezing it as started to lightly crack.

Obsidian covers her mouth in horror as Jade stammers as if she were being choked.

"I am losing my patience with you girl." Onyx speaks low and unmercifully "You will keep the princess in line or I will shatter you both myself." She looks at Obsidian as well "do I make myself clear?"

"Y-Yes Yes ma'am." Jade squeaks trying to breath, Onyx let's go and walks away as Jade falls to the ground coughing.

"Obsidian!!" Obsidian tenses up as she turns to the queen "A word NOW!!" Onyx barks as Obsidian scrambled to follow her down the stairs.

......................................

Obsidian's heart pounds out of her chest as she follows the queen deep underneath the palace. The dark hallways and silent sound of the old creaking walls creeped her out.

"Obsidian." Onyx grabs her attention as she continues to walk "Tell me how long have I known you?"

"Uh Approximately eight years today from my mother death."

"Exactly before you your mother was my servant for many years until her passing, she did very well at her job." Onyx walked down the stairs "She helped me though the trauma of losing my sister and her.... Betrayal."

Obsidian looked at her confused as they reached a large two Crystal diamond door, Onyx placed a hand on it as her gem glowed opening it.

They stepped inside a beautiful dark temple onyx grabs her shoulder gently as they walk in

Obsidian looked around the room in wonder, she knew the palace inside and out but had been down here "W-What is this place?"

"Hundreds of years ago when the kingdom was first discovered Queen Morganite the ruler of this land she found it difficult to change her people from their savage ways." Onyx gestured to the paint of her late ancestor

"It was years ago I was roaming the hallways and happened to stumble on this very temple." Onyx places a hand on the old walls as she looks at the stone in that sits on the stance where it lays "This is Corpsesalatics moonstone." She gestured to the blue
and purple swirl stone

"Before she meet her end the queen created it." She steps in front of it placing something inside a little slot.

"W-Why did you bring me here?" Obsidian looked around a little scared

"You are my servant, and you threw away your trust as soon as you touched those dirty low lives" Onyx raised an eyebrow looking down at her servant.

"I-I was just dancing, Princess Emerald has taught me so much I-I actually felt ..... happy." Obsidian "With all due respect your majesty Princess Emerald has a point perhaps you should look at ruling from a different approach."

Onyx looked at her for a second before turning her back from her "Thank you Obsidian for your opinion." She walks away slightly

Obsidian smiles as she bowed, grateful she make her more angry

At least that's what she thought.

"Unfortunately that was not the answer I was looking for." Onyx frowned coldly as She slams her fist onto the machine starting it up glowing

Four separate beams shot at the stone from opposite sides of The stone as it absorbs and levitates off the ground and blasts Obsidian with a bright reflecting light.

The girl screams being pulling up by the energy as her body glows while her eyes roll to the back of her head.

"My mother ruled this kingdom with an iron fist and perfection and I intend to keep it that way." She looks on as Obsidian gem started to turn grey as she continues to scream of agony, since they were under the palace no one could hear her screams

"By any means necessary."

......................................

Emma with her arms folded buries her face into her arms as her sobs and sniffs are muffled, suddenly she perks up at the sound of choking breath, she opens the door and sees Jade laying on the floor motionless.

"Jade!" Emma shrugs for a minute but than finally gets her on the bed, she looks to see her gem slightly cracked like a mirror about to fall apart any second

And Emma remembers what happened to her mother

A cracked gem is like being close to death

"No No No No Jade I'm not losing you!" Emma refuse to lose her after they created a bond together

She had never done a healing spell but she was willing to give it a try

Sapphire always told her when creating or doing a spell for the first time do it from the heart

She places her hands over Jades gem and began the chant, closing her eyes

Flower, gleam and glow
Let your power shine
Make the clock reverse
Bring back what once was mine

Heal what has been hurt
Change the Fates' design
Save what has been lost
Bring back what once was mine
What once was mine

Emma's hands glow pink as she speaks the spell a pink reddish heart appears over Jade's injured gem seeking into the cracks, she peeks an eye, looking to see Jade gem was fully healed as she slowed opened her eyes

"Jade You're ok You're ok!" Emma hugged her tight with tears in her eyes.

Jade looks down at her gem seeing it heal she brushes her fingers making sure this wasn't a dream, she looks up at the girl in amazement.

"Magic!" Emma does jazz hands giggling.

"Princess thank you." Jade puts her hands on her shoulders very grateful

"Jade what happened?" Emma asked

"I-It was the Queen s-she squeezed my gem I-I couldn't breathe." Jade holds her neck still trying to steady her breathing.

Emma looked in horror

"S-She ... She almost shattered you?" Emma looked quite angry, Jade nods with tears in eyes still scared.

"First she threats my planet, takes me away from my family and then hurts my friends?" Emma process the information in disgust as she slides down the wall, her aunt has done so many horrible things to her and now she was taking her frustration on people.

"She took you away from your family?" Jade asked sitting with her "You weren't born here?"

Emma shakes her head "No I was born on Earth which is a bazillion miles away, I lived there with my family"

"I-I thought she was your family?"

"By blood yeah but before I came I lived with family, my aunts ... my big brothers .. my .......... my daddy." Tears came out of Emma's sad blue eyes as she thought about that night "She said that if I didn't go with her she would destroy my family and my planet."

Jade couldn't help but feel for the little girl as she could feel tears running down her face.

Emma realized what she was doing and wiped her tears "S-Sorry I just ... I really miss them." She hugs her legs to her chest. She reaches into her pocket pulling out the photo, handing it to Jade.

"This is your family?" Jade raised an eyebrow, looking at the photo. "But you look nothing alike."

"Just because we don't look alike doesn't mean we're not family." Emma explains.

Jade looks at the picture closer seeing Emma "You look so young."

"I'm actually six but I think the time zone makes me look like I'm older." Emma twiddles her thumbs

"Y-You're You're only a child." Jade looked at the picture thinking in disgust.

Jade looks like she was thinking and looks up at the young girl with narrow eyes as she stands up and grabs Emma's hand leading her out of the temple.

"W-Where are you taking me." Emma asked as they walked down the steps

"Back to your family!"

......................................

Jade and Emma walk down the long hallway, Jade still holding Emma's hand protectively as she walks with motivation. A servant girl stands in front of the door guarding.

"We need access to this room." Jade orders

"I can't do that no access after sunset." The servant shook her head.

"Please with all do respect we need access to this room." Jade was on a mission.

"But I can't-"

"Now" Jade looks her in the eyes feeling her eyes burn not noticing that her eyes were glowing green.

The servant looked scared as she slowly moved to the side.

The girls opens the door stepping into the temple where a large Crystal mirror stood at the end of the room hooked up onto different screens

"Is that it?" Jade asked the young girl holding her hand

"Mmm." Emma nods

Jade walks up to the monitors looking at the keyboard typing in the words 'earth' on the screen but the screen beeps

"Come on Come on." Jade tries everything but the screen continues to beep, she than looks down and sees an imprint for a hand

Of course the queen had this built

So of course she could be the only one to use it

Jade than realized

Hand

DNA

Blood!

"Emma put your hand right here." Jade motions to the girl to come to her.

Emma stands beside her, she carefully places her tiny hand on the imprint, a scanner scans her hand as the computer beeps green as a search bar appears

"Wow look at you miss smarty smart!" Emma smiles making Jade blush with a smile, she presses a button and a wormhole appears.

Emma stretches her hand out to touch the mirror  but they than hear the door open.

The girls turn around thinking it was Queen Onyx but the shadow revealing to be Obsidian walking towards them.

"Phew it's ok it's only Obsidian." Emma steps in front of Jade walking towards Obsidian "Obsidian we really need your help."

Obsidian didn't say a word with a zombie like face her eyes dull and motionless.

"Uh Obsidian?" Emma raises an eyebrow

In a split second Obsidian grabs Emma's wrist and starts to drag Emma out of the room "Ow Obsidian that hurts! Let go!"

"Obsidian let go you're hurting her!" Jade pulls on Obsidian arm grabbing Emma back.

Obsidian face doesn't fazed as she backhands Jade sending her to the ground.

"Obsidian what is wrong with you?!" Emma grabs her by her shoulders lightly shaking her.

"Help someone please help me!!!!"

She heard Obsidian screaming but her lips weren't moving. She looks up at her eyes seeing they were gray and lifeless.

Like the soldiers she saw earlier.

But then she looked closer making her eyes slightly glow as to enhance her sight

"Somebody please help me!!!" She saw in her pupil a tiny Obsidian knocking in her eye looking terrified. Like she trapped, trying to get out.

"Obsidian have you cracked your gem?!" Jade screamed in rage marching towards her but Emma stops her.

"Jade look at her eyes ya notice anything different?"

Jade looks into her eyes "Her eyes their colorless? H-How can that be?"

They suddenly hear a door open and grabs Jade and Obsidian's hand and teleports as soon as a guard pokes her head out.

"There is no one in this room." The guard turns to the servant girl with an annoyed glare making the servant girl shrink down shaking in fear

"It was the princess and her servant I swear!"

"It's too late in the night for the queen to handle you, take her to the general!" The guard gestures to the other two soldiers who nod grabbing the poor girls wrists and drags her away kicking and screaming fearfully

......................................

The girls reappear in the stoned temple as they lay Obsidian on the ground as she struggles hardly, searching for her gem until they finally find it on her left shoulder.

It was dull gray which was very unusual

"Jade try to use a spell."  Emma suggests

"M-Me?! I-I can't do a spell I can't!" Jade starts to freak out. "It's forbidden if the queen finds out!!-"

"We don't have a choice! We have to! You can do it, just take a deep breath and the spell will come to you!" Emma instructs her but she started to lose her grip

Jade scrambles as she places her hands over Obsidian gem her eyes start glowing  "Uh Um release the soul that has been trapped-" A spark burst from her hands scaring her slightly "Emma I can't do it!"

"Yes you can! Focus Jade you can do it!" Emma encourages her "Speak the spell from your heart!"

Jade takes a deep breath and nods back at her placing her hands back on Obsidian's gem

"Release the soul that has been trapped unleash the spell pull it back break the bond to make it crack!" Jades glow bright green as her gem glowed for the first time.

A bright light blasts from the tower as a glass form of Obsidian's body breaks and shatters like glass prison.

Obsidian then takes a deep breath looking around the room freaked out.

"Hey Hey it's ok your ok." Emma came by her side hugging her

Obsidian looks at Jade and Emma skeptical ripping Emma's hands off of her "Get off of me! W-What did you do to me?!" Obsidian looks at both girls in disgust shielding her gem

"We just saved your life! So I think what really need to be saving is thank you." Jade crossed her arms with a frown

"Thank You?! You used magic on me! Which is forbidden! You're lucky I don't report you to the queen and have you shattered!!" Obsidian points her finger in Jade's face, luckily Emma gets in between them both this turned into a physical fight.

"Hey Hey fighting isn't going to make things better." Emma looks at them both "Obsidian what happened?" Emma asked coming to her side.

"I-I I don't remember." Obsidian holds her head in pain from the headache she had.

"What do you remember?"

"Um." Obsidian closed her eyes, trying to remember.

"U-Um the Queen wanted me to follow her somewhere." Obsidian thinks back "She took me to a temple ... under the palace."

"Under the palace that is strange." Jade looked concern.

"We walked into a wore down temple and she grabbed my shoulder and felt a pull on the back of my head."

"She took a strand of your hair." Emma listens

"She went to a machine with some sort with a Crystal." Obsidian holds her head in pain "And then everything just went back, it felt I was stuck in a glass bottle and I couldn't get out."

Obsidian brushes a finger over her gem taking a sharp breath "It was my fault, I let you do those unladylike shenanigans. I deserved it."

"No!"

She looks at Emma who frowns at her looking her face to face "No one deserves to have that happen to them. You didn't do anything wrong she did."

Emma puts a hand on Obsidian shoulder as she looked at the young girl who trapped her in her big kind compassionate pink eyes Obsidian softens her face with tears in her eyes "I see what you see now, I finally see her for the coldhearted monster she is." Obsidian stroke her gem gently looking down in shame.

Emerald looked a little shocked

Obsidian

Her aunts servant who acted just like her

Was apologizing

Was crying

Was showing emotions

Obsidian takes a few step towards the balcony looking at the night sky, Jade and Emma look at each other before sitting beside her.

"Your mother was right to leave." Obsidian sighs not wanting to look Emma in the eye, ashamed on what she had done. "I was always told stories of how she was wild... ignorant, was an embarrassment and failure of the Royal family and kingdom.... But maybe this world was failing her."

"This was a mistake, we never had should of brought you here, princess." She takes Emma's hand holding it tight looking into her eyes "I promise I will help you get back to your family."

Emma couldn't help but smile a teary smile as she quickly brings her into a hug squeezing her tight, Obsidian looks down at her surprised she slowly smiles lightly as she awkwardly returned the gesture

"We were able to put the information for earth in the mirror." Jade explains but Obsidian cuts her off.

"Even if you did set it up it Emerald wouldn't be able to faze though it."

Emma sighs "She's right Aunt Onyx told me I couldn't go back to earth." Emma holds out her wrist showing Jade the symbol on her arm. "There's nothing we can do." Emma glowed blue

"Actually... there might be one way."

Jade and Emma looks at Obsidian

"T-There is?" Emma looked at her hopefully.

"A royal settlement can only be broken if the high rank removes it, Queen Onyx is currently one of the highest rank but not the first, the highest can only be consumed if the rant before it is banished or deceased.

"Which means?" Jade looked confused

"Only Queen Diamond can break the spell."
