~~~ TIMESKIP ~~~

     We were outside on the Porch. Blue was holding Steven in her hands. Everyone was crying  from Blue's tears of joy.

Blue: "Oh Pink. I can't believe it. You've been here all along."

Garnet: "We can't just hand Steven over to Blue Diamond, she's a shatterer."

Bismuth: "She's not gonna hurt him, look at her. She really thinks she's one of them."

Amethyst: "Aaaghhh, somebody make, Blue Diamond stop."

Connie: "Are you guys okay?"

Pearl: "It's just *sniffle* Blue Diamond's power. She's obviously relieved that Pink Diamond wasn't shattered after all."

     Yellow tried to command her ship into rising, but ended up breaking it's finger.

Yellow: "How could you do this to us Pink, why did you let us think you were shattered? Why the strange disguise? Why are you doing a voice? Why didn't you say something at the trial? And Blue, can you please stop crying? I can't see."

Blue: "Sorry."

     She dried off her tears and let Steven down. 

Steven: "My mom kept it secret from everyone, almost everyone. "

     Yellow leaned down and looked closer at Steven.

Yellow: "What are you talking about?"

Steven: "Well, apparently mom, oh geez you don't know what a mom is. Okay, Pink Diamond took the form of Rose Quartz permanently after faking her shattering. Then Rose Quartz gave up that form to create a new life with my dad, me. Rose passed her gem and some of her powers onto me, but that's all. I don't have any of Pink's or Rose's memories. Sorry."

Yellow: "I'm sure your memories are in there somewhere Pink. I mean if (Y/N) can remember, then it must be a matter of time for you."

Steven: "Actually, I go by Steven."

Blue: "Oh stars. How did you even survive? We blasted the planet and obliterated every gem on it's surface."

Steven: "They weren't exactly, obliterated."

     We warped to a strange ship looking place. Steven opened a door and a centipede gem of some sort crawled out.

Yellow: "What, am I looking at?"

     The creature's jaw dropped.

Yellow: "No one should have survived our attack."

Steven: "Centipedle's mind is broken. I tried to heal her but it didn't stick."

Yellow: "Heal her?"

Steven: "But maybe you two can help her. You're so much stronger than me, and I got close."

Blue: "Well, it's not something we normally do."

Yellow: "This is completely unprecedented."

Steven: "But you did this to her. You have to help her, all of them."

Yellow: "Hm, very well. I can try but I make no promises."

     She squatted down, rubbed her hands like a defibrillator and pressed her fingers against the gem's head. She seemed to go back to her original form,  

Yellow: "There, good as new."

     The gem proceeded to squeal, lazily  flailing her arms.

Yellow: "She may be too far gone."

Blue: "Gently, Yellow."

     Blue put her hand to her chest, creating a glow, and then bringing her hand to the gem's head as well. 

Blue: "There we are."

???: "No please no, no we're all gonna be. No please no, no we're all gonna be. No please no, no we're all gonna be. "

     Steven saw that it was close. He licked his hand and put it on the gem's back. 

Steven: "Centi, it's okay, it's okay."

     The gem looked up at the diamond's and blinked. She then straightened and saluted. 

Nephrite: "Nephrite, 413 Kavishron 12."

Amethyst: "What?"

Garnet: "Unbelievable."

Nephrite: "I'm sorry for my failure to head my Hessonite's evacuation orders. My team and I tried our best to make it out before the attack, but you're here, it must have worked. You finally avenged Pink Diamond. You destroyed Rose Quartz."

     After that statement Yellow and Blue reeled back, their hands leaving Nephrite, who proceeded to return to her corrupted form.

Yellow: "Ugh, Pink, how many perfectly adequate gems did you have us ruin?"

Blue: "Shh, Yellow. Pink's been punished enough. She's been trapped here on this awful planet with these, creatures."

Steven: "Do it again, it was working."

Yellow: "How long do you expect us to hold her together?"

Steven: "I don't know, forever. You did this, so you have to do something."

Yellow: "We can only do so much, if it was the four of us..."

Blue: "Oh no. We can't let her see this."

Steven: "Who? Who do we need?"

Yellow: "What do you mean who? White."

Pearl: "White Diamond?"

Amethyst: "What?!"

Pearl: "Steven, White Diamond isn't like us. She isn't even like them. You have no idea what she's capable of."

Steven: "I just wanna talk."

Blue: "I don't think you'll have much luck with that. White hasn't left Homeworld in eons."

Steven: "Then we're going to Homeworld."

Yellow: "In what? You and your friends destroyed both our ships."

Blue: "Unless, you don't still have yours do you?"

     We went to a desert. The sun shone brightly. The sand sand gave a nice satisfying crunch with each step. We had made it to what seemed like 2 knees protruding from the sand.

Steven: "This place is filled with mom's junk so there's a good chance it's buried around here. We can split up the area like a grid and divide the search. It's just past these pink pyramids!"

     Yellow and Blue looked down on Steven, expectantly, and disappointed.

Steven: "We've got a lot of desert to cover, it may take a while and be really super hot, but if we don't give up, I know we can find it."

     Steven had put his hand on one of the two 'pyramids' causing a panel to glow, and activate.

Bismuth: "Uh, Steven."

     Steven looked at the glow in shock and stepped back. We all got in the ship and had made it to the beach. Connie's parents were giving her a farewell for now. Pearl was with Connie. Amethyst was getting things packed. Steven was saying goodbye to Greg. Garnet was holding her cat as Lion licked his paws. I waited by the ship with Yellow and Blue.

(Y/N): "So. Nice to be on good terms again?"

     Yellow looked down at me with a glare.

(Y/N): "Fair enough. Fair enough."

Yellow: "How could you not tell us the truth?"

(Y/N): "Well first of all, I only learned the whole truth during the trial, and second, even if I knew the whole truth before, there was bound to be resistance. The person who you hated most, for five thousand years, was actually your beloved Pink? I mean, yes you had the right to know, but I do not want to receive back lash from telling the truth because someone doesn't want to hear it. I mean, Steven told you before you just kicked him down, he told you the truth, right then and there. Yes, it was coming from the person you hated, but still, if I had said the same thing before hand, would you not have labeled me a traitor?"

Yellow: "Of course I wouldn't have, I would have taken your word for it."

     I looked up at her, stared her in the eyes and laughed.

(Y/N): "Ha! That's a lie and you know it. Someone of your strength and mind, you are stubborn. I still remember how you didn't believe Blue when she said that I was connect to Pink somehow, and then there was that day you just burst into the room and blasted me. I don't know what set you off, but it could not have been something as bad as having your entire world turned upside down."

     Yellow looked away, crossing her arms. Blue stood there awkwardly.

          ~~~ TIMESKIP ~~~

     We were on the ship. Steven stepped onto the controlling pad. It projected holographic pink pants around him. 

Blue: "Oh, it's been so long since we've been together in Pink's ship."

Yellow: "Please, Blue, if we could continue."

     Blue wiped away her tears.

Blue: "Yes, of course."

     Pearl walked up to Steven.

Pearl: "For launching, just get a running start."

     He awkwardly waddled and flailed leg after leg.

Steven: "Hold on, I'm taking off."

     He then jumped, causing the ship to launch into the skies.

Steven: "I bet when mom took off it was pretty graceful, huh?"

Pearl: "No, Not really."

Steven: "Should I have brought a gift for White Diamond? We are dropping in unexpectedly, and I want to make a good first impression. Her help will mean everything for the corrupted gems."

Pearl: "Steven-"

Yellow: "Hm, good impression? We'll be lucky if she even speaks to us after this"

Steven: "But-"

Blue: "The thing is, White, can be difficult."

Yellow: "When we show up in this ship it will be irrefutable that the last six thousand years are gonna be the biggest galactic embarrassment that's ever happened. And we're the ones to blame. If you don't want to be in a bubble for the next few millennia I suggest you let me do the talking."

Pearl: "We're here."

     The ship landed as everyone got up.

Yellow: "Everyone wait here. Blue and I will return for you, once White's temper has cooled."

Blue: "Which might take a while."

Steven: "But-"

Garnet: "Wait, that sound."

     We got out of the ship, there was cheering from a large diamond platform, thousands if not millions of colored gems were arranged to create the diamond symbol perfectly. 

Steven: "Whoa, maybe things won't be so bad."

     The cheering stopped as a white bubble landed next to us. The bubble disappeared as a white pearl with a cracked eye stood beside us.

Blue: "It's White's pearl."

White Pearl: "Pink Diamond, your presence is required."

Yellow Diamond: "Come on Blue."

White Pearl: "Only Pink Diamond's presence is necessary."

(Y/N): "You are not taking him without me, I am telling you that."

White Pearl: "Only Pink Diamond's presence is necessary."

Steven: "I am not going without (Y/N)."

White Pearl: "Only Pink Diamond's presence is necessary."

Steven: "Uh, maybe we could-"

     She glided over and bubbled Steven with her. The bubble went over to the giant white head.

Yellow: "Well? Aren't you going to teleport to him?"

(Y/N): "Hell no! I am not confident in my abilities enough to teleport to a place I have never seen. Yes, I might be able to use Steven as an anchor, but it is still risky. He is short, what if I teleport halfway into the floor? Or if there is a object in the way? What if the bubble isn't down yet? I cannot be sure of any of that, and therefor I find it safer, to stay here."

          ~~~ TIMESKIP ~~~

     I was in my room, stretching and getting ready to do some more aura training, as I felt it was my best tool, and weapon. Maybe I can practice teleporting, maybe I could make it more instantaneous if I can skip the void all together. Imagine a destination, and know that the truth is, there is where I exist. Hm, I don't know if that will work. But maybe, I could also work on training myself to activate my aura faster, more of an instinct after hearing a sound. A snap maybe? Well, it can't just be sound alone. The feeling of my finger sliding off my thumb and hitting my palm? Maybe. Yeah, have my aura focus on the point on my hand that my finger hits, and have my aura imitate the sound waves and radiate from that point. I guess that imagery would work, and after practice, it would allow for a quick and easy activation for my power. I start walking to the arena.

     When I arrived I started with practicing my aura expansion and retraction, focusing on snapping, and drawing out my aura the moment I hear and feel the snap. I started to snap faster. On, off, on, off, on, off. Using the snap as a toggle, I try to keep the image in my mind. I felt like I was getting the hang of it, when I head footsteps. I looked at the entrance and saw Yellow.

Yellow: "(Y/N), we need to discuss a few things."

(Y/N): "Okay."

Yellow: "A ball is going to be thrown, like Pink used to do. So far I have been saying that you are in my court, and with all that is going on White would not appreciate me going around talking about a new Diamond, so for now you are going to have to go with that story. When the party is thrown, I will have you enter with the guard. Being able to negate all weapons, teleport, and the ability to imitate Blue's pathokinesis, you are perfect for disarming, incapacitating and catching up with rogue gems."

(Y/N): "I see. I may remember Pink's parties, but it is vague, what customs do I adhere to?"

Yellow: "Finally, someone with some sense. You just have to stay with the guard. Look out for any odd behavior. If you spot something that you believe is odd, report it to the other guards, either they will tell you to dismiss it, or they will help you investigate further. It is unlikely anything is going to happen, but still, it is important we do not take risks and show we are strong and always ready for anything."

(Y/N): "Okay. Stay aware of everything that goes on in the party, look out for odd or rogue behavior, and report. I got it."

Yellow: "Perfect. The ball will be starting soon, get ready. And do try to keep your aura subtle. You know what, just don't activate your aura. I would hate to have to explain to White what is going on."

     I nodded and started to exit the arena with Yellow.

          ~~~ TIMESKIP ~~~

     Yellow had entered the throne room, sitting on her chair next to Blue and Steven. I was waiting with the Rubies and Quartz soldiers. I had entered and stayed at the foot of Yellow's throne, my eyes scanning the room. White Pearl entered the room and spoke.

White Pearl: "To those in attendance of the Era Three ball, White Diamond, has more important things to attend to. Therefore..."

     She entered a bubble and went down, almost immediately she was on the throne of White Diamond. That is one smooth movement, if she wanted too, she could totally pretend to have a delayed teleportation.

White Pearl: "I will be here to observe in her place. Welcome to Era Three."

     I watched as the gems danced, and sung. I saw Steven and Connie talking out of the corner of my eye. I felt as though something was off. I went to Yellow Pearl.

(Y/N): "Steven, or Pink Diamond, might be up to something."

     Yellow Pearl saw Steven and Connie jump off the throne and lightly bound down the steps. She alerted Yellow to this. Some gems stopped dancing and stared as Steven and Connie were on the dance floor. They started to swirl and dance as White Pearl frowned, Yellow grew furious. Connie and Steven fused. I could tell this was not going to be good. Yellow stood up, and said through clenched teeth.

Yellow: "Pink, what are you doing?"

Stevonnie: "I was just dancing."

Blue: "Pink, this is completely unacceptable. Unfuse or I'll make you."

     I saw Ruby and Sapphire there, I spotted their rings as they looked at each other. I mumbled to Yellow.

(Y/N): "We are about to have another problem, I have a feeling chaos will ensue in 5...4...3...2...1."

     Ruby and Sapphire fused.

Garnet: "You'll have to go through me."

Pearl: "And me."

     She jumped down  to Amethyst as they fused into Opal, joining Garnet and Stevonnie. A random pair of gems fused.

???: "And me. I knew it, I knew I can't be the only one."

      She was immediately destabilized by Yellow. Then Opal, then Garnet. Yellow stood up, putting her foot down next to Stevonnie.

Yellow: "Pink you've gone too far, even for you." 

     Yellow grabbed them and left.

          ~~~ TIMESKIP ~~~

     Yellow, Blue, and I were in the now empty throne room.

Yellow: "(Y/N), how did you know that was going to end so horribly?"

(Y/N): "Well, there was common sense, or maybe the Sapphire in me. Who knows."

Yellow: "The what?"

(Y/N): "Oh yeah, I never did tell you about the theory did I?"

Yellow: "No, you did not."

(Y/N): "Well, based on my abilities, and the weapons I can summon, our theory, that does have some solid ground, is that my gem is somehow a physical gem created by Obsidian, the fusion of Pearl, Ruby, Sapphire, Amethyst, and Pink Diamond."

Yellow: "Wait, so you mean to tell me you are a fusion?"

(Y/N): "I don't actually think that would be accurate. A fusion is two gems together, my gem is clearly singular, though it has the properties of the other gems. My gem might have been created through fusion, according to the theory, but I do not think that it is and of itself a fusion, merely a gem with the combined force and power of that fusion."

Yellow: "This is a disaster."

Blue: "I agree."

Yellow: "So, that would explain the multitude of abilities you have."

(Y/N): "Yes, and my variety of weapons, my main problem in that area is I do not know how to use most of my options. I can use a whip, a karambit, and I can improvise with other things, but that is about it. So, I would say my best ability is my hand to hand combat while forcing my opponents to do the same."

Yellow: "Hmm, interesting tactic. But if you are caught in combat against someone stronger and greater than you who also stays in hand to hand combat, you will need to fall back on your weapon variety to knock them off balance and take back the upper hand. Nam every weapon you can use."

(Y/N): "Well, for the bases, I have Amethyst's whip, Steven's shield, Pearl's spear, Garnet's gauntlets, and my karambits. But I also have the ability to combine them into a larger arsenal, making a hammer, a bow, a chained morningstar of sorts. And more but I don't know what."

Yellow: "And of those, you say you can use the whip and karambit?"

(Y/N): "I mean, I also have a little bit of experience with the bow, but not much, I usually stick with my default karambits."

Yellow: "Of course. Well, someone needs to help you with training."

I quickly spoke up, remembering Holly Green and the Ruby.

(Y/N): "Not necessarily. I mean, as long as I have some sort of target, I can practice the feel of the weapon and see how to optimize it's use in combat. It isn't hard to imagine. I am not the strongest, so for the hammer, I will probably need to use a lot of swinging moves to help maximize and direct momentum for maximum force. The main problem is I just need to get used to handling the weapon until each swing, each adjustment of grip is one fluid motion. Or with the bow, accuracy and draw speed are the most important of course. The chained morningstar, similar to the hammer, is going to be a lot of swinging, but this time I have a more flexible handle. See? It's easy to get understand the efficiency and use of a weapon, as long as you have the movement and handling in check."

     Yellow glared at me.

Yellow: "Fine, then go practice."

     I nodded and left, making my way to the arena. I heard footsteps, and I knew who they were. The very gems I was trying to avoid.

(Y/N): "Hey there Holly Green, Ruby. How are you today?"
