Steven: "I, I've just been connecting with her. My powers they, they help me connect to others. I'm not her, I'm just feeling her feelings."
White: "Isn't it obvious? Even though you've embedded yourself within that human child, your light can't help shining through. You know you're in there. You've known it all along. Stop cowering inside your gem. You can hide from yourself but you can't hide from me, Pink."
Connie: "Don't listen to her Steven. She's just trying to mess with you."
White grabbed Steven, lifting him up.
White: "Now starlight. This has gone on long enough. It's time to come out, Pink."
She grabbed his gem with her nails. And she pulled it out. Steven was on the ground. His gem in White's hands. It started to glow, forming a light shape of Pink Diamond, then of Rose Quartz, and then Steven. He materialized, but he was lightly opaque. He was there, but he didn't have a complete form. Everyone stared. Steven tried to step towards his gem, but he was too weak on his own.
White: "What is this? Where is Pink?"
Pink Steven: "She's gone."
White: "What did you say? Answer me."
Pink Steven let out a terrible shout, cracking the very room.
Pink Steven: "She's GONE!"
Pink Steven started to move toward Steven. White looked at me, an idea coming in her mind.
White: "Oh, of course. You've deceived yourself to the point of rejecting who you are. What if we give you a friend?"
She reached down and grabbed my head to see that my gem was partially grey, partially black. The grey slowly being pushed away, speckle by speckle. I slow process that left me immobile. She grabbed my gem, and started to pull. I felt a migraine. The grey started to disappear faster as my face was being tugged at. As my gem returned to it's pure black color, a burst was released, knocking the desperate White back. I felt my mind start to split again, as the gems under White's control were slowly turning black. I felt like I did back on the beach, knives in my brain, my thoughts being scattered, all independent, but not. My body feeling so many things at once. I was standing, but sitting, my arms out, and to my side, and on the ground. I tried to stop it. But I couldn't focus, not enough. I couldn't shout, couldn't move, couldn't think. I slowly managed to bring out my hand, and I snapped. I felt my aura return, as it was spread through out all the gems. We all collapsed. Pearl, Amethyst, Garnet, Yellow, Blue, and White's Pearl.
~~~ Pearl POV ~~~
We all started to get up. Steven and Connie rushed to us. Steven hugged Garnet and I hugged Connie.
Pearl: "Are you okay?"
Amethyst: "Uh, what happened?"
Connie: "I think Steven got through to her."
Bismuth, Peridot, and Lapis came in through the eye chute. Ready for battle.
Bismuth: "Listen up you nail heads, the crystal gems are here to-"
Bismuth realized that White was turned away, Blue and Yellow were on their hands and knees in recovery, and Steven, Connie, and I were laughing.
Peridot: "Steven."
Bismuth: "Are you okay? Are you hurt? Oh look at White, she's shaking like a piece of chalk."
Steven made his way over to White, as we noticed (Y/N) on the ground, we rushed over and and checked on them. They were unconscious, but they seemed fine.
Pink Pearl: "W-what happened? Where am I?"
Steven: "Welcome back."
White: "What is this? I feel, ridiculous. Yellow, Blue."
Yellow and Blue reeled back.
Yellow: "She's off color."
White: "This can't be happening. I can't have a flaw. I'm supposed to be flawless. If I'm not perfect then, who am I? If you're not Pink then, who are you? Who is anyone?"
Steven: "You know, if you just let everyone be whoever they are, maybe you could let yourself be whoever you are too."
White: "But I'm not supposed to be like this. I'm supposed to know better. I'm supposed to be better. I'm supposed to make everything better."
Steven: "You can, but first, you're going to have to leave your own head."
~~~ TIMESKIP (Y/N) POV ~~~
I woke up as we were approaching Earth. We landing near the temple and got onto the hand. I saw that White didn't seem hostile anymore, and my splitting headache was slowly leaving. Greg ran toward us. Worried for Steven. There was some noise as a ship was landing on Earth. Another ship, that is. The doors to the ship opened to reveal Lars, the Rutile twins, Padparadscha, Fluorite, and Rhodonite.
Rhodonite: "We finally made it to Earth. No more running, no more hiding, no more Diamond Authority."
They all looked up to see the diamonds looking down in confusion, disgust, and shock.
Rhodonite: "Whelp, we're cracked."
Steven ran up to them
Steven: "Wait, wait. It's okay. I know what you're thinking but they're here to help. Off colors, meet the Diamonds, Diamond meet the off colors."
White: "Hello."
Padparadscha screamed in alarm after predicting the Diamonds would be there. Causing the Diamonds to reel back.
Lars: "Padparadscha it's okay."
Steven: "Hey Lars, remember Lion?"
I looked over at the group.
(Y/N): "Nice to see you guys again."
Sadie walked up to them, seeing Lars.
Sadie: "Lars? It's really you."
Lars: "Sadie?"
Sadie: "Lars, look at you. You're a, space pirate."
Lars: "Look at you. You're a rock star. I think it suits us."
Sadie: "Me too. Oh no, i gotta go back on stage."
Lars: "Oh no, I totally crashed your show."
Sadie: "You wish, that honor goes to Steven."
Steven: "Sorry, I'll make it up to you."
Sadie: "Hey, that's not a bad idea. He beach city, we're not done yet. I'd like to welcome my friend, and yours to the stage, Steven Universe."
Steven made his way onto the stage as I headed inside. My head ache was gone, but I was still exhausted, and there was this slight shadow of pain, like the pain wasn't there, but something was left, an unpleasant feeling.
Steven came back after helping the Diamonds uncorrupt the gems. When they got back, they hopped into their ships and flew away, leaving Steven's leg ship to stay.
