Our story takes place years ago, the day that my life changed forever.

Cobalt opened her eyes, but immediately shielded them from the brightness of the sun above. She looked around, completely oblivious as to where she was.

I had just been made in a place that Amethyst calls the Kindergarten. At first I was totally unaware of who I was, what I was made for.

"Hmph. A Cobalt? Aren't they supposed to be scientists?" Jasper questioned.

"Not in this war Jasper. Sure, the Cobalts on Homeworld may be scientists, but this one has been specifically bred for battle." Obsidian said.

"So what is she supposed to do anyway?" Jasper asked.

"We're deploying her on the front lines with you." Obsidian said.

"What?!" Jasper asked, "You're putting me with a new Gem that's barely been alive. The Rebels will shatter her with no problem."

"We'll see Jasper, we'll see." Said Obsidian.

That's when I was trained. I was told that the Rebels were the enemies of Homeworld and that they needed to be shattered. But in the back of my mind, I knew that wasn't the case. But I still did what I was told. Then, the day came.

"You ready Cobalt?" Jasper asked.

"I was made ready." Cobalt said.

Jasper scoffed, "You may be stronger than Rose Quartz, but she's crafty." She said.

"So am I." Cobalt chuckled.

The ship they were on landed and the two gems got off. Just as it had been described, the battlefield was ready for battle.

"If we don't beat these Rebels, Pink Diamond will have our Gems, you better not mess up." Jasper said, as she summoned her helmet.

Cobalt scoffed, "You just try to keep up."

That's when they spotted them, the Crystal Gems, led by Rose Quartz.

Cobalt immediately set her sights on the main target. She moved fast and swiftly, easily bypassing the Pearl and the perma-fusion and leapt into the air. She brought her sword down, which was blocked with her shield.

'Defensive, just as I thought.' Cobalt thought. Rose sent her back and got into a fighting position.

"I hope you're ready to face justice for your crimes Rose Quartz!" Cobalt said. Lightning started to spark around her and she charged again. She swung her sword which caught Rose on her stomach, just above her Gem.

Rose countered with her own swing which only chopped off a few hairs as Cobalt ducked. She kicked her legs out from under her and planted her foot on her hand, effectively keeping her from raising her sword.

"Not bad, but not good enough. Geez, how could Homeworld have a problem with you?" Cobalt asked.

"Tell me...how long have you been on this planet?" Rose asked.

"Why should I tell you anything, traitor?" Cobalt snapped.

"Holy!" Jasper said, walking over to them.
"You really beat her, that's great." Jasper said.
