Aqua had made a grave mistake. She had assumed that with the alarm, Marry would have already shut down and locked the wrap pads before she even had time to exit her room but obviously from the sound of [i]that[/i] gem's voice....it had not been the case. Her face was as calm as ever, no surprise to be held and her position not changing from its previous stance. In the eyes of anyone watching, they might have assumed she knew he would be there and that she had been waiting for him to arrive. Inside, her heart jumped into her throat with a feeling of surprise as well as other unwanted feelings before hot spirals of anger clawed at her just for a moment before being pushed away. Anger had no place here. She needed to keep cool and have her head about her since this would be her only saving grace. She could go toe to toe with Blood, hold her own longer than any other and she was sure that would still be the case. However, Blood always won in the end and Aqua understood that she wasn't the only one that had gotten stronger since their time absent from one another. A battle against him would be unwise since she didn't know what he had up his sleeve anymore which would make for a destructive battle, full of difficult obstacles. 

[color=7bcdc8]"Why, Bloodstone, I am flattered that you would take the time to memorize such outdated information on me."[/color]Aquamarine stated calmly, keeping her eyes locked in his and holding her ground even as he stood before her. A small smile graced her lips before she continued her words,[color=7bcdc8]"Unfortunately, I must be going."[/color] A sudden dense flood of clouds and fog filled the area, making it almost a think soup of moisture that was difficult to even see just in front of your view. She used this moment to turn, her first step making a path of ice to the Temple before she jumped to the ground and slid into the small opening of the closing Temple doors. The clouds would not be a long distraction for the red gem, maybe the bots but not Blood so she needed to act fast. She moved to Marry's control panel, locking the wrap pads first before turning on as many defenses as she could in the short time. That in place, she walked to the portal waiting for her and stepped through to what could only be called an awkward and tense situation. Ebony eyes gazed over all of the newborns, it was obvious some had already chosen HomeWorld's side but then again many gems had too strong of a pull to what was programmed. 

Clinohumite....it was easy to see why the Newborn would instantly choose HomeWorld but she looked to this gem with sadness. Aqua would never be the one to tell her the truth about her sisters before her and honestly, she prayed the gem never found out. 
Indicolite, not one to take lightly even with their appearances and behaviors...Aqua had related to them and Lapis types the most but it seemed that this gem had made her choice since she was very much near HomeWorld's spider. 
Cymophane, another gem standing near HomeWorld's side and a Howlite too. She had not been around many Cymophane's in the past but she wished to know more but probably would not be able too. 
It was difficult to look at Howlite as her past memories of another caused pain. Every Howlite would be different but they looked so very similar and it had been her failure for not being strong enough. Howlite....her Howlite....had pushed her to be a better leader but that was long ago
Seraphinite, she wished she had been here for her. If she had stepped through the portal to yelling then it was probably not the first time. It would have been horrible and nerve wracking for one such as her. Blind and having no answers, plus so many voices. Aqua was not sure why the other was on the ground but it could not be good. This was the one gem she spent extra time looking at so that she could try to calm her a bit through her mind.[i][color=7bcdc8]Seraphinite, calm yourself. Focus only my voice and take deep breaths. I don't know what has happened to you since your beginning but now that I am here, I promise that you will be protected. If you are hurt then I will heal the damage done by careless hands. If no harm has come to you and you are on the ground do to too much noise, relax and try to focus on one sound at a time while picturing the sound dimming down. You will need to learn to adjust to heightened senses when you can't use your wings.[/color][/i]

It brought happiness to know they were alive. That all the work to keep them safe from humans and corruption had not been for nothing. They had been her world for a long time now but it seemed more were willing to leave her from first glance than not. She would never get to know some of them and would probably find herself against them more than not in the future. This had not been how she had wished this day to be. In the end, Aqua would always choose their happiness even if it wasn't with her.[color=7bcdc8]"I see I was not the only one with a pleasant greeting."[/color]Aqua stated before turning her attention to Tugtupite. Why did it have to a Tugtupite? She could handle the gem fine but it would be a hassle and Blood would not be far behind plus she had to make sure none of the Newborns were hurt during an exchange. [color=7bcdc8]"I do not wish to start a fight as this could harm the Newborns as I am sure you don't either. It is the Newborns choice to what they wish their lives to be like and so far, all I see is that you are pushing them in whatever way you want. It is disgraceful that you would say that we could have any that don't go with you. You would leave them lost and alone should what you call an enemy just leaves. War is war...but you lack compassion as you only look at the past. HomeWorld killed just as many Newborns and your Diamonds might I add, did the most horrible thing you could do to a gem other than shattering and to their own soldiers no less instead of just leaving Earth alone which was to corrupt them into beasts. Instead of just letting some of us gems be different and live in peace. If the Newborns wish to follow in the lines they were made and never look outside their blinders, I will not stop them. I will let them leave with you as all I wish is for their happiness as I have protected them till this day just so they could live however they choose. However, have you even given them any of these facts? Did you plan to leave them feeling deceived after they had decided to come and had second thoughts upon these facts? How many has your precious Bloodstone crushed before you arrived so that you could be in his service? Have you looked into your Diamonds face as they ordered you to be shattered with no ounce of remorse even for doing nothing wrong? I have....the Diamond make gems to own them. The worlds and everything they create are their playthings. If something doesn't line up, deemed defective or has no use any longer....they destroy it but I am sure you would not see it that way. Loyalty...so different for everyone. I am not just a medic. I am not just a gem that leads Newborns to their place. I am not just a protector. I am much more then that. I was not born to be a gem that fights but now I am just as strong as any Quartz and even stronger then some of those. Gems can choose to be more than just their potential and the box you lay out for them."[/color]
