~~~ (Y/N) POV ~~~

     I sat in my room on Homeworld, using my new meditation mat. I breathed in, held it, then breathed out. In, hold, out. I reflect on myself, and the void within me. There was a deafening silence as I sat, focusing. Then the room filled with noise as the doors opened.

Blue: "(Y/N), it's time to train. Come on."

     I got up and turned around. I followed Blue as she led me to the arena. White and Yellow sat on their thrones in the stands.

Yellow: "For this training, Blue has requested to train you on her own for this matter. Something about control."

White: "So, you will be exclusively trained by Blue for now."

Blue: "Now, for these exercises you are not allowed to use your weapons or aura, no matter what!"

     I looked up at her and blinked. She's not really the aggressive type. I wonder if she is okay. 

(Y/N): "Whatever you say Blue."

Blue: "Good, now come at me!"

     I started to rush at her. I reeled my fist back and jumped as I was about to punch her in the knee, when suddenly I felt an overwhelming crushing force, and I was buried into the ground. It was dark for a moment, till the force pushing me down lifted, and the light came in. I saw that the sudden force was Blue's fist.

Blue: "I said not to use your aura! You were enhancing your strength! Take your aura, and contain it! You can't use even a single bit of your aura during this."

     I blinked and slowly got up. I was a bit dazed and swayed a little. After tensing up and closing my eyes, I took a deep breath, and tried to push my aura into myself, into my void. I felt my strength leave me a bit, and suddenly, I felt very sore from the crushing attack. Every movement was uncomfortable. I stood there as I caught my breath but then quickly jumped back a bit as Blue performed a low, sweeping kick. Despite my attempt to dodge, I was still hit by the attack and I went flying into the side of the arena, without my aura to help give me extra defense, I screamed.

Blue: "The enemies won't wait for you to recover! Come at me!"

Yellow: "Blue, aren't you being a bit harsh? Go easy on them."

Blue: "I can't do that. Not now, they need to get strong, and they need to do it fast!"

     I slowly stood up. My body not happy.

Blue: "We don't know when they are going to attack, but if (Y/N) can't even compare to the strength of a Diamond without their aura, then they are no match for them!"

     I was tired, my body was hurt. And I was hungry, so hungry. Blue started walking over to me, but I was a bit occupied, as my vision started to tint orange.

Blue: "You can't just rest in the middle of a fight!"

     She raised her fist, and was about to bring it down. I let out a slight growl, and looked up at the oncoming object. I jumped toward it and tried to bite into whatever part of the hand I could. My mouth couldn't open wide enough, but despite being crushed by a fist, I still latched onto it as it raised. Blue quickly shook her hand and sent me flying off of it. She expanded her aura, creating a thick atmosphere of sadness all over the arena. I wasn't effected as I turned and ran toward Blue, a massive hunger consuming me. I slashed at Blue, who easily avoided my attack, and countered. I felt the force of a wall hit me as Blue kicked me again. I growled, getting more and more desperate, hungrier and hungrier.

          ~~~ Pride POV ~~~

    I was walking with the other Sins while looking for good places where crowds would be.

Lust: "Not that I am complaining or anything. But if you intend to recruit them, then why fight them? You seem to be aiming for an 'army to kill' kind of deal. Not a, play 'fight boost crowd'."

Pride: "Oh you know, a good fight between companions is healthy. Not to mention how you, Wrath, and Envy described them, they might have trouble with self control, so if take them down a few pegs, they should see their place and realize it will be worth it to listen to our offer."

Greed: "With that lack of control, any fight they get into would cause them a lot of trouble."

Envy: "Based on how fast I saw them progress, they must have at least discovered Gluttony's power of 'Glutton for Punishment'."

Wrath: "Even so, based on how you described them, even a hit from the Diamonds wouldn't be able to satisfy that hunger."

Pride: "Well now, just maybe Yellow, considering her damage output, but either way, the upcoming events are going to be vey interesting. Just remember, if you ever end up encountering them, keep your aura's withdrawn. Don't want them to be used against you now."

Lust: "Says you."

Pride: "And you, don't go trying to kill them. Unless Envy is with you, and even then, really do try to give them our offer first."

Lust: "Fine, but as soon as they turn it down, I am going to beat them up."

Wrath: "You could try."

     Pride and Wrath chuckle as Lust clenched their fist in anger.

          ~~~ (Y/N) POV ~~~

      I continued to rush at Blue as she kepted knocking me back, over and over again.

White: "Blue just stop them! You two have been at it for twenty minutes!"

Blue: "They just won't stop!"

Yellow: "That's it! I am joining in!"

Blue: "No, just stay out of this!"

Yellow: "Oh stop it Blue."

     Yellow jumped into the arena. She walked forward and held out her hand, blasting me with her lightning. I stopped rushing Blue as I felt something. Something, filling. I turned toward Yellow, and rushed them. She continued to blast me with lightning, and when I got too close, she kicked my through the wall of the arena. There was a lot of dust as Blue and Yellow paused, watching to see if I had gone down. I smiled and slowly crawled out of the hole in the wall, my bright, orange, glowing gem could be seen through the smoke.

(Y/N): "That was, delicious. Give me more!"

     I went into a full sprint toward Yellow. She blasted me with lightning, each second I was in the blast, I got slower and slower. Soon I was just walking toward Yellow, who was getting ready to strike me, when I fell down. My vision returning to normal.

(Y/N): "W-what. What was, that?"

     I fell down, unconscious.

          ~~~ TIMESKIP 2 hours (Y/N) POV ~~~

      I woke up in the palace bed. I grabbed my stomach.

(Y/N): "Uuuggghhh, it feels like I ate too much. Am I just sore?"

     I slowly got up. I made my way to the Diamond's room. The Diamonds turned their heads toward me as I entered.

White: "Already up are you?"

Yellow: "What happened out there?"

(Y/N): "I kind of wanted to ask you that. I feel so full right now, did we have a feast after the training or something?"

Blue: "What? You haven't eaten a thing."

(Y/N): "That's very weird, because I am painfully full."

White: "What is that supposed to mean?"

(Y/N): "Oh right, you guys don't eat. So, sometimes humans aren't the best at judging how much we need to eat, so we can tend to over do it. Especially when we eat during a celebration of some kind, it can cause us to have eaten too much, which creates pain in the stomach."

Yellow: "Humans truly are inefficient."

(Y/N): "Not just humans. Leave out a bag of food, or anything that can fit into the mouth, and most animals will try to eat it, sometimes animals will eat just to eat. It is very easy to over feed animals."

Yellow: "So, all organic life."

(Y/N): "Correct."

Blue: "Well, (Y/N), I wanted to talk to you as soon as you woke up."

(Y/N): "Yes?"

     I was slammed into the wall of the room as Blue had kicked me.

Blue: "You need to control yourself!"

Yellow: "What has gotten into you Blue?"

Blue: "You can't just keep going berserk and hoping it will get you out of trouble! Get ahold of yourself, and focus!"

Yellow: "Blue, you are out of line! Go easy on-"

     I got up, holding onto my side.

(Y/N): "No, no she's right..."

     I coughed a bit, then took a deep breath.

(Y/N): "So, these people have named themselves after the seven deadly sins, or maybe the sins were named after them, but either way they are very fitting. And in religious teachings, the point is to resist the urges of these sins. So, yeah, yeah I gotta get a hold of myself. I admit that, but still. That hurt."

     I had run out of my long breath, and so I took in another one and held it, before letting it go.

(Y/N): "Blue.... you got one hell, of a kick."

White: "(Y/N), are you okay? You're usually more resilient."

(Y/N): "I, forgot to activate my aura. And I really should keep it this way, for now because, I really need to stop relying on it."

     I finally regulated my breathing again.

(Y/N): "But please keep that in mind from now on."

          ~~~ TIMESKIP 5 minutes Yellow Diamond POV ~~~

     (Y/N) left to go to their room. White and I turned to Blue.

Yellow: "Why do you have to go so hard on them?"

Blue: "They need to get stronger fast, and I just don't want to see them become like those humans."

White: "What are you talking about Blue, (Y/N) is nothing like them."

Blue: "Yes, but those humans also were so different. They changed so much during the experiments, and as they gained those influential abilities, they started to want, and want, and we would, I would just give them what they wanted. It was for the experiment, rewarding their progress and efforts, but, what if, (Y/N) becomes like them? They already have some problems, and now, getting violent so easily, then what if they turn towards them?"

Yellow: "Blue...."
