A/N This story is biased a a series of theories that have yet to be confirmed to be true for false yet and some of my own ideas for what may be the answers to some of the greater mysteries of the show. I was hoping to have this out before the summer of Steven started, I was worried that the large about of new episodes airing day after day might lead to more bombshell secrets being reveled, and seeing how I had a subplot for a Bismuth theory I heard a while back, an that leaked clip kind made it pointless, was kinda right.
Anyway, now that this is published any revels in the show will not change the story I've leaded out.
The theories used in the fic will include the true identity of Pink Diamond and relationships to Rose Quartz and the other Diamonds, as well as the origins of the Cluster, and the 'first war for Earth; as referenced by Jasper the 'The Return'.
Please Read and review

Chapter 1: The Moon Base
On the moon orbiting the planet Earth there stood only one structure amongst a landscape that was otherwise dominated by an endless terrain of craters and gray dust.
This structure was a great tower that showed the only sign of intelligent life anywhere in this system.
At the top of this tower was a large geodesic dome, and within this dome was large clean looking room, that apart from a hole in the floor the lead to the lower level, had only one discernible feature. A raised platform on top of which was a rectangular consol with four diamond shapes on its surface and a series of lights that made up the buttons of the consol that its user used to access the information logged inside it.
Behind this consol was a large chair clearly made for any being of impressive height, and a being of such height was sitting there.
Skin such a bright shade of pink that it didn't seem like it could accrue naturally, a tall slender body whose every angle seemed to be designed to be its most perfect optimal form, a face that seemed strong yet had a softness to it, like it was meant to show its power, not though intimation or the inspiration of fear, but thought a kinder show of authority, and hair that went out in fiver different directions, like the petals of a flower or the points of a star, and a pink sleeveless top, with a see throw material over her shoulders, and the fabric of the top going under her belt line in a skirt like way, cover pink pants and pink boots, and a pink diamond protruding out of her abdomen.
Floating above her chair was a small diamond shaped object that projected three colored rays of light in the colors of white, blue, and yellow. These rays projected three images in the shape of three overlapping diamonds each, and each image showed a figure similar to the one sitting in the chair.
All four figures were the same height, but each was a different color, were as the one in the chair was bright pink, each of the other beings were the color of the hologram they were shown in. Also while their faces were somewhat similar, there were some distinctions, as while with their hair style and clothing.
The Yellow one's face was more lined and expressed more discipline then the pink one's and her hair was more rigid and had two points and protruded out of the front of her hair, and she wore a kind of bright yellow coat that dipped beneath her belt line in a cape like way. And she had a yellow diamond sticking out of her chest.
The blue one looked most like pink in terms of their faces, but the blue one's, while just as calm, seemed to be less forgiving then the pink one's, also her hair flowed behind her head and down her back in a single long flowing braid, and she wore a long flowing blue cloak that covered her whole body and could cover her face if she wished it to. And her diamond was blue and in the same place as the yellow one's
And the white one looked more the yellow one, only her face was even more lined and looked to be the harshest of all four of them. Her hair went out in five directions like the pink one's, but all upward and in a series of spikes. And her clothes were much like the yellow one's, only she had an actual cape that flowed from the shoulders of her outfit. And her diamond was white and came out of her forehead.
The three beings in the holograms were all looking at the pink being sitting in the chair.
The pink one was pushing multiple buttons in a fast and deliberate manor, showing that she was very familiar with this kind of equipment.
As she finished her motions the holographic images projected above the consol sifted and were showing the simplified image of a kind of building made out of stone and columns, with lines drawn from certain points of the image to small boxes of words that showed information of the aspects of the structure the lines lead to, as well as a large caption under the image that explained to core propose of the structure shown.
"As you can see, the planning and production of the colony is going as anticipated." The pink figure spoke.
"That is good to hear Pink diamond, but are you sure that it couldn't be going any faster, this planet seems much like any other we have colonized, yet you seem to be taking a long time to plain and build the gem structures?" White diamond spoke to Pink diamond in a voice that suggested how odd she found this.
"The unique Eco systems of Earth have proven to be more temperamental then we once thought, it will require more care to terrorform it or we risk ruining the resources." Pink diamond explained.
"Is that true, from the reports I have read, earth is not much different from many other planets, I don't see why you should be having such trouble?" Blue Diamond asked.
"It appears either you have misread the reports, or you have not yet read the reports I've sent back most recently." Pink Diamond said to Blue Diamond.
Blue Diamond seemed to take some offence that she may have been ill-informed, but before she could say this Yellow Diamond spoke up.
"Is it really the Eco systems you are having trouble with, haven't there been a few reports that the dominant species of Earth has show violence towards Gems? If they are giving you trouble, you only need to say so and I will sand any troops you need to deal with them." Yellow Diamond told Pink Diamond in a voice that suggested that she thought Pink Diamond needing help with Earth's population said something bed about her abilities, and yellow diamond seemed to like that possibility.
"Now Yellow Diamond," White Diamond spoke up "the inhabitants of Earth have shown to be barely at a civilized level of intelligence. I'm sure that Pink Diamond isn't having any real trouble with these… Pink diamond, what are the inhabitants of Earth called again?"
Pink Diamond pushed a series of buttons and an image of a humanoid form appeared on the holographic screen.
"The Dominant species of Earth is called humans, they are the only life form on the planet to show any sign of tool using or language development, but they only live in small isolated communities over the six of the planet's seven meager land masses.
"And while they have shown potential of higher intelligence their main skills seem to be hunting other wild life, and gathering plaint life of sustenance. And their tools using is limited to using sharp or hard objects as weapons, using what materials are right at hand to make coverings for their overly sensitive bodies, and using primitive forms of combustion to make fires for warmth and light." Pink Diamond explained.
"Potential" Yellow diamond said like she thought the idea of the human's having potential wasn't worth motioning. "I thought we were all in agreement on the potential of organic life forms?"
"I was simply reading the reports." Pink diamond said.
"Pink Diamond was only informing you about the local life forms of the planet she is overseeing. I'm sure we wasn't implying that these humans are worth much interest, much less a possible threat, right Pink Diamond?" Spoke White Diamond in an attempt to insure that all four diamonds understood each other.
"Of course I wasn't, you asked about them so I informed you, that's all." Pink Diamond told Yellow Diamond.
"If you aren't threatened by them, then why have you set the majority of your structures up on the parts of the planets were there are the least humans?" Yellow Diamond asked.
"Humans are more of a nosiness the a threat, whenever we've tried to set up a operation near one of their communities they almost always find a way to interfere, I thought it would be most practical to avoid their larger habitats until the colony is more developed.
"But if you see them as a threat worth fearing, then you could come to Earth yourself and see for yourself." Pink Diamond said to Yellow Diamond. "If the humans have managed to invoke such fear from our Home world's greatest military leader, then maybe they are a threat after all?" Pink Diamond snidely said to Yellow Diamond.
"Are you accusing me of fearing such a lowly race of drooling apes!?" Yellow Diamond yelled at Pink Diamond.
"I am only interpreting your behavior as I see it, maybe you should be more careful about what you say when suggesting interfering with another diamond's dominion!?" Pink Diamond responded.
"At least I behave in a way fitting for a diamond!" Yellow Diamond said.
"Yellow Diamond, Pink Diamond enough, this meeting was not called to give you two another opportunity to bicker!" White Diamond spoke up, silencing her two arguing peers.
Pink Diamond and Yellow Diamond both took a moment to see that they were not doing anything productive in their auguring.
Yellow Diamond turned to the other three Diamonds and said. "I'm sorry, it is just that we have dealt with species like humans before and they can prove to be a problem when not dealt with right away."
"Yes that is true, but it is also true that the only races capable of opposing us were much more advanced then the human. The only times we've found a primitive species to be any kind of threat was when they were able to steal and use our technology. If these apes wore to get their hands on our machines, they would most like destroy themselves before they even learn what they were holding." Blue Diamond said condescendingly.
"Exactly, as annoying as these human are, Pink Diamond knows that if there is any large issue that she is too call upon one of us for aide, otherwise the Rubies, Amethysts, and other Quartzes under her command would suffice, not to mention her general." White Diamond said.
At the mention of Pink Diamond's general the mood of their conversation changed. Pink Diamond cracked a small smile, and even Yellow Diamond, and Blue Diamond seemed to fine this mention good.
"Ah yes, the frilly one." Yellow Diamond spoke more endearingly then condescendingly.
"Frilly or not, her Quartz General has become the envy of all of ours." Blue Diamond lightheartedly said.
"Well I guess that I did something right when order her created, but then again the growing of the more rare Gem types has proven to yield the occasional happy accident.
"Then again she is in her element among the plant life of Earth." Pink Diamond said proudly .
"As would be one of my lapis lazulis among its oceans, but it's more than just her powers that have earned her her reputation." Blue diamond told Pink Diamond.
Feeling they were digressing, Whit diamond spoke up. "As admirable as we find Pink Diamond's General, it is not what we are all here to discuss.
"Now that Pink Diamond has finished her report on the progress of the earth colony we have all reported on our respective projects, so unless one of us has anything else to add?"
"I have something I would like to ask of Pink Diamond before we disconnect." Yellow Diamond spoke.
"And what is that?" Pink Diamond answered.
"I would like to hear about your research, so far, into cross-gem-type-fusion." Yellow Diamond spoke with a commending tone, and even Blue Diamond and White Diamond seemed to see that was a question that Yellow Diamond could have asked with more care.
Pink Diamond paused for a moment then she answered back. "My research into that subject in still in its earlier stages, so I don't have much of anything new to report."
"Is that true?" Yellow Diamond asked.
"Yes, all that research is right now is a lone Peridot studying the theoretical aspects of contradicting Gem programming mashing together, like what has been reported in the few incidences we've heard of, in the smaller beta Kindergarten." Pink Diamond answered.
"The beta Kindergarten, why there?" Asked Yellow Diamond.
"It has the best equipment for the study of Gem programming."
"I only ask because how sensitive this matter is."
"And it is for that same reason that I'm progressing slowly with this research at this time. Much like your research into the residual consciousness of broken Gem shards, Yellow Diamond." Said Pink Diamond.
Yellow showed a stern concentrated face, but she seemed to accept Pink Diamond's reasons and chose to let it go for now.
"Very well then, I have nothing else to ask then." Said Yellow Diamond.
"Now that we have that taken care of, is there anything to discuss at this point?" White Diamond asked the other three. None of them said anything. "Good, then we shell break contact.
And with that for Diamonds began in end each of their ends of the communication.
"Pink Diamond out." Pink Diamond said as she reached up and switch off her communicator.
In the remaining connection between the other three Diamonds.
"Blue Diamond…" Blue Diamond was interrupted.
"Wait," Yellow Diamond said, "I would like to say something I didn't feel like I could say while Pink Diamond was listening."
Whit Diamond, and Blue Diamond didn't seem to want to listen to her, but they still felt they should.
Yellow Diamond Went on. "I am concerned about Pink Diamond's behavior as of late, she already has history of making dissensions that the rest of us know to be mistakes yet she still seems to have the same tendencies that lead to those wrong choices.
"From what I've heard about Earth, there is nothing unique about it that should hinder a colony like that and the cross-Gem- type-fusion incidences have show to be some of the most disastrous accidents to plague our empire."
"She says that it may be possible to use such fusions to optimize the functions of both Gem types involved, unlike the random accident we have seen so far." Whit diamond said. "And she has promised that if her research hit a dead end she will abandon it."
"Like she promised to abandon her research into the practical use of organic life forms!" Yellow Diamond spoke to White Diamond, feeling that she was not showing her concerns enough respect.
None of them spoke for a moment.
"We have already hard you concerns on this matter, and we have agreed to keep a close look on Pink Diamond, and we have agree on the kind action we should take it your fears are realized." White Diamond forcible spoke. "And now this commutation is over. White Diamond out."
"Blue Diamond out." Blue Diamond said, not having anything to say.
Yellow Diamond was felt staring at an empty hologram. After showing an irradiated face she angularly said. "Yellow diamond out."
Back at the Moon base.
Pink Diamond replaced to Diamond communicator in its slot in her chair. She slides a control on the right arm of the chair, moving back so that she could get up.
Walking away from and consol and toward the stairs, Pink Diamond is fallowed be her pearl who, like the pearls of the other Diamonds, had said nothing though out the Diamond's meeting with each other.
Pink Diamond's Pearl was just as pink as she was. Pink pearl looked like and other Pearl did, with the same high body shape and face of a normal Pearl. Pink Pearl's Gem was in the place as Pink Diamond's and her outfit was a Pink body suit with an almost see though material cover her arms and legs.
As Pink Diamond and her pearl descended the hovering, spiraling, pink tinted steps that lead from the top leave of the moon base to the bottom, Pink Pearl always staying a few steps behind her Diamond, Pink Diamond thought about the discussion she just had with her fellow Diamonds.
'They still don't trust me. Why do they see as so wrong just to think that maybe none Gem life can be of some value to us? All I was did back then was try and see if organic life forms had the potential of learn the same thing Gems had learned.
'And now I'm just trying to see what happen in the minds of Gems when they fuse with different types. The reports from the few incidents we know about suggest that the initial experience of it is bewildering and causes most who go though it to un-fuse almost right away, but the few who manage to maintain their fused forms have shown strange personality traits not from either gem involved, and even new abilities.
'If the nature of this strange phenomenon can be brought to a science it could mean endless possibilities." Pink Diamond thought as she and her Pearl reached the bottom level the base.
As they stepped off the hovering staircase it lowers itself back into the floor. Pink Diamond and her Pearl walked toward the door of the moon base, were Pink Pearl pushes the button to open the door.
Though the door Pink Diamond enters a ship that is attached to the front of the moon base, once inside this she is greeted by a party of Amethysts with pink diamond shapes on their uniforms that formed two neat rows on either side of the hallway. Once Pink Diamond reached the end of the hallway, at a door that lead to the ships control beige, she was greeted by the leader of this Amethyst group, an Amethyst with a cape over her shoulders and her gem in the middle of her chest, right in center of the Pink Diamond emblem on her uniform. Bowing with her right hand over her gem stone the Amethyst said. "Welcome back my Diamond, I trust that you meeting with the other Diamonds went well." Asked one of Pink Diamond's main Body guards."
As well as they ever go, Amethyst." Pink Diamond said, and the Amethyst chuckled a bit, feeling that her Diamond was trying to be funny.
The Amethyst opened to door for Pink Diamond, and she and her Pearl stepped on to the ships bridge.
Once on the bridge Pink Diamond sat in a large, chair clearly meant, that face directly out the window of the bridge. The Gems at the ships controls knew this meant it was time for them to take off and return to the surface of the Planet below.
As the ship took off Pink Diamond thought to herself. AS controversial as her fellow Diamonds saw she still invoked the same kind of loyalty I her Gems as any other Diamond did. She knew that the other diamonds didn't trust her like they used to, but she didn't trust much either. While they all believed that it was she would was slipping away from what they were supposed to be, she they were the one who had forgotten what their empire was once about.
Expanding was one thing, but other life form did have they own values to offer. While she hated the idea, she knew that she had all that she needed on Earth to show her peers that she was right in seeking use for thing outside the strict rules of their empire.
To Be Continued
A/N what do you thin? This is my first Fan-fiction about a cartoon, sorry it it seems rushed I wrote it up over the last Three days.
What do you think of my Idea of what Pink Diamond was like, and what do you think about how I did with the other Diamonds?
Until next time happy reading.
