She had seen Earth in the distance, wide-eyed in awe at how it appeared. It was much better than she could have imagined, but it lacked the design that a lot of homeworld colonies had. From what she could gather before leaving, along with discussing it with the other gems here, this used to be a colony, right? It made her question what went wrong, how a diamond could have been shattered here. And the one gem who did it, a 'Rose Quartz', were they still around? Ivy laughed a little to herself, shaking her head at such a question. Of course she wasn't, the Diamonds must have felt that this place wasn't worthy to be a gem colony, right? Or maybe that it was too much hassle. Regardless of why this planet was still around, and despite the appearance of it, Ivy shrugged at the possibilities, regenerating sand from her gem to create several small spheres before having them spin in a circle above her hand until it hit her. The entire reason they were there was because of the cluster, so obviously that was the answer as to why Earth existed still. It was then that the group entered the atmosphere and the ship began to malfunction in some manner, causing Ivory to instinctively generate enough sand to envelop her feet so that she stayed in place. Problems already? But they hadn't even touched down yet! She turned to their leader, who immediately shouted [color=darkgray]"E-everybody remember your training! Duck and cover!"[/color] before generating a shield, which was then followed by the moonstone assisting them. How smart! She wasn't sure if that'd be helpful, but it didn't seem like they had any other options at the moment. She shifted over to them, maintaining her supports on her feet when she arrived. If only there were more sand on the ship, she could have created something like a sand barrier or bubble to protect everyone in. But it seemed she'd have to rely on those designated to protect them for that. Not to say Ivory couldn't handle herself, she was a gem designed for traversing unknown planets and territory, but it was reassuring to know they'd be accompanied by gems made for protection. And if they crashed down and were alright, Ivy vowed she'd find the way to the Cluster...
