Hi….. Enjoy.
LITTLE YELLOW MIRACLE
Prologue
Yellow Diamond had been utterly consumed by hatred, any gem with eyes could see that, but no gem could see this better than her pearl. Her pearl new better than any other gem in her court why her Diamond was enraged. Rose Quartz.
More specifically, what the former revolutionary was up to on Earth. Currently, the rebel leader was partaking in a human mating ritual called "dating". It's not that the activity itself really mattered to her Diamond. No. What angered Yellow Diamond was Rose Quartz's continued existence. She was angered by the fact that she had been out voted in by her sisters and was forbidden from engaging in any earthly affairs.
She didn't know how her sisters could be so naive. They both wanted nothing more than to forget the pain and humiliation that came with the colonization of that garbage planet. But she wanted to finish what they had started, instead of leaving that traitorous defect to her own devices.
Her Diamond tried and tried to sway her sisters, but they adamantly refused to involve themselves with Earth.
"Not this again, Yellow."
"Yellow, we've been through this."
The more her Diamond was ignored, the more obsessed she became. Soon, there wasn't a moment that wasn't spent trying to get the jump on Rose.
Despite her best efforts, her Diamond could never find a good enough reason for her sisters to let her act.
But what angered Yellow Diamond the most was the fact that Rose Quartz seemed none the wiser. Of course that was the point; it wouldn't do if the one you were spying on KNEW they were being spied on. Still, it was like the nail in the coffin for her Diamond.
Knowing that the gem that had shattered her sister and stolen her colony had all, but forgot about Homeworld and her past transgressions, was slowly driving the monarch mad.
"She should have been shattered and her shards tossed into the nearest star! Instead we just about gave her a PLANET!"
Was one of many things the monarch would gripe about whenever new information about the rebel came about.
Of course her pearl never gave her thoughts on the matter, only listened.
She knew that her Diamond was convinced that Rose Quartz was still planning something. Yellow Diamond was not content with letting Rose Quartz waste away on Earth like her sisters were.
But the others had voted, and unless she had concrete proof that Rose Quartz was up to no good, she could do nothing but sulk.
And her pearl would, as always, stand and listen.
She knew Rose Quartz would act sooner or later. The former soldier need only make a single mistake and Yellow Diamond would have all the proof she needed to apprehend the defect.
But... for nearly five millennia, the Gem rebel's activities were... tame. Not nonexistent . But tame.
She had thought she would finally get her chance two thousand years ago, when she had discovered that the rebel leader was trying to rehabilitate the gems that had been corrupted by the Diamonds song. She tried to reason with White and Blue. Warning them that if she were successful, she would be able to bring back her entire army. She had hope that even the possibility of another war would be enough for her sister to let her act, but it was not.
"She's cunning, but she is also weak! If we act now we can put an end to all of this." She had told them.
"All of this," White had chided in her cold calculated voice,"is already over Yellow. Please, try to forget all of this. The cluster will fix everything "
"But Rose Qua-" Yellow tried. But Blue had had enough.
"Rose Quartz, exists in exile." She spat. "And it is impossible to reverse the damage done by our song. Leave the rest to the cluster."
"But she is weak!" Yellow screamed.
"AND THE LAST TIME WE UNDERESTIMATED HER PINK WAS SHATTERED!"
Blue's outburst was enough to quell Yellow's rage, she could never stand to see Blue cry. No being could.
Pulling Blue into a rare embrace, White told Yellow firmly,"We will not be taking any action against Rose Quartz. The cluster will emerge and correct our mistakes."
To that, Yellow scoffed. White's gaze softened at this and she said,"Please Yellow, trust me I understand why this hurts you, but you have to let this die, or your rage will consume you. We wouldn't want you making any daft decisions."
"You two are the ones being daft."
"Yellow." White Diamond warned. But Yellow disregarded her warning.
"What if it doesn't work?"
"It will!" Blue sobbed,"It must."
"And IF it doesn't?"Yellow continued to push much to Whites ire.
"Then we will end it ourselves."White answered darkly/
That conversation was still fresh in Yellow's mind as were all the others. And try as she might, she could not let the matter 'die'.
She just needed something concrete. Something that was a guarantee that Rose Quartz was on the offensive. Or planning an offensive. Or doing anything!
All the pink gem did all day was travel around the earth or lounge around with the newest human whelp she found oh so interesting.
Honestly! How was she supposed to get leverage on the stupid pink clod if she never did anything.
She just needed something. Anything! Anything that might help her in her quest for revenge.
So when she had heard from one of her Peridots that the rebel leader was going to reproduce she jumped at the opportunity.
She had her pearl call her sisters immediately.
They were almost always apart. White spent every waking moment tending to her court on Homeworld.
Blue's time was spent either mourning Pink's death or maintaining her legacy.
Yellow Diamond herself had hunkered down just past Jupiter. She needed to be close to Earth, just in case Rose Quartz tried anything. She knew that the galaxy warp on Earth had been deactivated. So if the rebel leader wanted to leave the earth, she would need to do so by means of space.
Since they were so far apart, for their meeting usual meeting place, a gathering hall in Pink Diamonds human zoo, she used the private Diamond communication line instead of having her pearl schedule a meeting.
The first of her sisters faces to show up on the diamond themed holoscreen was Blue's.
"Yellow? You called?"she said in a slightly surprised voice. Upon seeing her sister's face it took all of her willpower not roll her eyes. Even a pearl could see that she had been crying.
"Blue... how are you feeling." Even with news as urgent as hers, Yellow could help but ask how her sister was feeling.
"I feeling fine Yellow." A blatant lie but one that let Yellow know not to pry,"Now why have you called?"
"Yes, Yellow," White Diamond asked having finally answered the call,"What is so important?"
Yellow paused before finally speaking,"It's about Rose Quartz."
"Stars, Yellow not this again." White sighed
"Yellow, plea-"Blue started.
"No! This is serious. She is trying to raise another army!"
"How could she possibly do that without a functioning Kindergarten."White Diamond asked.
"She is using the human reproductive process!" Yellow explained frantically.
Seeing the doubt on the faces of her sisters she continued,"The process would surely take years. But eventually they will have enough gems to resurrect her army and then they will come for Homeworld I'm sure of it!"
The other matriarchs were silent.
"She must have realized that there is no way to rehabilitate the gems corrupted by our song. She probably thinks she is clever, having found a way around that little obstacle, but the clod has no clue that we've been watching her every move! Now that we know, we MUST act, before it's too late!"
At this point, she was rambling and pacing around her throne, unaware of Blue's increasingly worried face and White's darkening expression.
After a full minute of listening to Yellow obsess over the rebel leader, White had finally reached her limit.
"Yellow, ENOUGH!"She yelled stopping Yellow in her tracks.
"White wh-"
"Enough. About Rose Quartz. About the EARTH. I am sick of you letting this control you."
"It is not-"Yellow started, but White cut her off again.
"You've had your ship stationed in the earth's solar system for the past 1000 years!"
"That doesn't mean I am letting this control me."
"Yellow, you have watched Rose Quartz for over five-thousand years", Blue stated, "This has turned into an obsession, Yellow."
"I am NOT obsessed with Rose Quartz. I'm just not as naive as the two of you!"
"Yellow, I refuse to keep indulging you with this ridiculous obsession. The cluster will emerge soon. Stay AWAY from Earth!" And with that White's video feed cut out.
"White! Ugh. How can she be so ignorant?" Yellow sighed turning to her other sister.
"Yellow... I must agree," Blue started in a soft, condescending tone, "You need to let this go..."
"Blue, she is planning something I swear!"
"No. No she is not. She is rotting away on a planet that is going to be destroyed. Soon, that rock will be wiped from our star maps and we can forget it ever existed."
"You said it yourself, Blue, we can't underestimate her! She could survive the planet's destruction!"
"Yellow you sound ridicul-" Blue was interrupted by one a member of her court, a Holly Blue Agate.
"Oh dear..." She said before turning back to Yellow,"I'm sorry Yellow, but I have to go now. I will see you at the next meeting."
"Wait! Blue, what abo-"
"And as for Rose Quartz, my thoughts on the matter are final. Please, Yellow, at least try to put this behind you," She said frantically, "And... take care of yourself sister. Goodbye."
And with that her sister hung up.
For a moment Yellow was silent. She raised a hand to her face. Then she slammed her fist down cracking the left arm of her throne. She heard a small yelp from the foot of the throne, that reminded her that her pearl was in the room.
Just then a Peridot rushed into the room,"My Diamond!" She screamed as she came to a clumsy stop and did sloppy rendition of the Homeworld salute.
"WHAT!" Yellow screamed as she stood. She was in a foul mood after having been ignored by her sisters AGAIN.
"Oh...my Diamond. I-I just came to give you more information about Rose Quartz..."
"Spit it out!"
"R-r-right her of-offspring will be half human..."
"Half human...You're sure?"
"Affirmative. I heard the Renegade Pearl telling the defective Amethyst."
Yellow's face scrunched briefly in disgust,"I still find it hard to believe that a PEARL was able to survive the war," that little detail was particularly upsetting considering the fact that her sister was not as lucky. Yellow turned and addressed her Peridot,"Good work."
"Oh. Yes, only the best for my Diamond." The Peridot said in a proud, albeit it flustered tone.
"Yes. Yes." Yellow replied offhandedly. "You are dismissed."
"Thank you, my Diamond."
Yellow stared absently into space. A half human gem...
What benefits could a gem hybrid have?
Yellow's eyes widened as she thought of one possibility . The gem could end up being resistant to gem technology. Then another. If they had a carbon based body like a human then they could potentially be incorruptible. Then more. Fusion. New abilities. Unparalleled power! The gem could be virtually unstoppable!
Of course, at the time Yellow wasn't in the best of mindsets. And she never stopped to think of what the negative side effects of a human gem hybrid would be. Not that it mattered of course.
No, what mattered was that Yellow had to act before it was too late! But she couldn't. Her sisters had forbidden it...
She would never be allowed to exact revenge on the cunning traitor. To Yellow this was unacceptable.
She had to do something!. She needed a plan. A loop hole. One that would allow her to strike Rose Quartz before she could strike back against Homeworld a second time...
And then it hit her. No gem in her court, herself included was allowed to attack the Earth or Rose Quartz... But... a human could...
No ordinary human of course. No this human would need to be strong... this human would need to be loyal... this human would need to be... a hybrid...
And what better a gem hybrid to destroy Rose Quartz, than that of Yellow Diamond herself.
Yellow quickly turned to her pearl,"Alert the crew. Tell them to set a course for Earth"
"Yes, my Diamond. "
Yellow smirked as she felt her ship turn almost immediately.
'Soon, Rose Quartz. Soon I will end your pathetic existence'
