Chp 1
Disclaimer. ( i do not own Steven universe.)
Steven had kept it together for the gems, but now ruby and sapphire were married bismuth was back and the truth was out. But he was more lost then he had had ever been throughout his entire life.
Rose quartz was pink diamond, he was so tired of the web of lies his mother had crafted, ired of learning about the lives she had destroyed, lapis jasper bismuth centipeedle, blue diamond and hundreds of other corrupted gems.
He would need to fix this, the responsibility fell to him now that she was gone, he had the pink diamond gemstone and he knew what it would take to he just hoped he would have the resolve…
Lion and steven appear in the heart of the temple, "where is she"
He asks looking around.
He spots the gem he is looking for and jumps up grabbing it and floating down holding a familiar jasper gem he leads him out and quickly grabs his bear, connie's picture and his ukulele pushing them into lion's mane and climbs on his back. "Take me to connie's."
lion roars forming a portal jumping through it and they appear outside connie's house steven jumps off of lion floating in the air near connie's window knocking on it softly. He hears feet on the floor and hears the window open. "
Steven?" connie asks groggily rubbing her eyes. "Hey connie, im sorry its so late but this might be the only chance for me to talk to you for a while.."
Her eyes widen and she pulls him in. "steven whats wrong?"
"Mom was pink diamond!" He blurts out "What?!" she asks surprised
"Pearl knew but she couldn't tell me, I..I understand why. Mom ordered her to and she can't disobey a direct order but it still hurts." tears start to run down his cheeks. "Nothing i know is true connie, my entire life has been a lie, the woman i strived to be like never even existed connie." she pulls the crying boy ino a hug the tears falling on her shoulders.
"I..Im going to homeworld connie." He says after he calms down a little bit. "They deserve to know the truth."
"I..I understand steven, how..How long do you think you'll be gone for?" she asks afraid. "I'll come back as soon as i can connie, i promise you."
She pushes him away and slams her lips to his sloppily kissing him. His eyes widen and he starts to kiss her back when she pushes away from him both of them blushing. "Wait here." she runs out of the room and down the stairs returning with stevens mothers sword.
If though are to embark on a quest to right a wrong though will need your sword." he reaches for it his hand touching hers in the process "Thankith youith myith jam bud." He turns walking towards the window and she follows after him. He turns towards her. "Goodby connie."
He says stepping forward and kissing her again before turning and jumping out the window landing on lions back telling him to return to the temple and then climbing into his
Maine.
Captain lars sits in the captains seat on his ship, his head falls forward and he yelps as steven climbs out. "Steven?" he asks shaking his head.
"Its got to be the middle of the night back on earth what's up?" "Lars i need you to trust me." Steven says seriously
. "Of course steven. "Lars says "I need you to take me to a gem controlled planet and leave me there." "What!?" lars yells and panicking
" Steven man, that's got to be the stupidest idea ever!" "Lase please, i need your help." Lars stares at him. "Please help me. It's the only way." lars sighs. "F...fine steven, whatever it is you're doing i got your back, i owe you for all of the times you saved me anyways." lars presses a button. "All gems to the bridge." he says over an intercom
The offcolors emerge from off deck "Steven!" the rutles exclaimed happily rushing over and hugging him. "Hey guys." he says hugging them back "Hellooo Stteevveenn." the big fusion says poking her head up from below deck
"Steven?! Are we in danger?!" rhodonite exclaims.
"No rhodonite, you guys are fine, im here for a different matter. I need a favor from your captain. But it's always good to see you guys "Stevens here!" Padsperacha exclaims happily
"Hi padsperacha." steven says. "Rutile please set a course for the nearest gem controlled planet. "What?" thay exclaime. "Steven needs to be delivered to a gem controlled planet, and i know it seems crazy, and stupidly dangerous but we all owe him." they all look at each other before nodding taking their places. Course set captain, the nearest planet is four earth hours away." "Then let's go. "
"30 earth minutes until we arrive. Left rhodonite calls out. "So steven, what happened back home to make you want to go to a gem controlled world?" "I..I learned some new information about my mother and pink diamond and the diamonds deserve to know.."
"Steven knows something new about pink diamond." Padsperacha exclaims from besides them and all of the gems turn towards her. "Whhaat?!" Rhodonite asks" I..I don't want to talk about it now, ill tell you guys later, is that ok?" "Ooofff ccoouurrssee sstteevveenn."
The sun incinerator nears the ground when steven tells them to stop. "This is close enough, thank you guys it means a lot to me." lars and steven walk towards the ramp "Are you sure you want to do this?" he asks again
"No but it is something i have to do lars., as soon as i jump you guys need to go. " "we owe you so much steven, just promise me you'll be okay" "I will be, if this goes the way i hope everythings gonna change. Goodbye for now lars" he says opening the ramp and jumping..
Steven lands on the ground surrounded by gems. "Who are you?" she demands and steven grabs his shirt lifting it. "This is the gem of the rebel rose quartz, take me to the diamonds." The jasper grabs his arm along with a quartz. "We should take her to emerald, shell want to see to this personally." "Yea, we don't want to make her mad." The quartz agrees. And they carry steven towards a large green ship off in the distance.
Steven is thrown in front of the emerald after lars. "Your that person that was with lars!" She exclaimed standing up. "Why are you here, where's my ship?!" She demands. "This is the shatterer rose quartz. The quartz says to emerald who turns to her. "What?" She asks
Steven lifts his shirt. "You need to take me to the diamonds. They'll want to deal with me personally." Steven tells her and a dark grin forms on her face. "This'll make up for losing my ship, take her to a cell and stand guard." She turns to the peridot "Set a course for homeworld now!" "Jasper quartz! If she escapes the diamond will shatter me, but not before i shatter both of you!"
"Y..yes emerald." They say dragging steven off below deck and tossing him into a cell and closing the energy wall behind him. "Don't try anything." "Yea or well stop ya." the other one adds. ' I was ready for this.' steven says pulling his knees up to his chest.
Steven wakes up suddenly when his cell opens "We are here, our ship is docked at the diamonds high court directly." Emerald says
." We will take you directly to yellow diamond and blue diamond." she says grinning. "You will not attempt escape, do you understand?"
Steven nods and the door to the prison hall opens and two yellow gems walk in. "Don't be insulted that i don't believe you, but i brought insurance."
she steps back and gestures for the topazes to fuset hey step forward grabbing steven and fusing so that only his head and shoulders are outside. "The aquamarine i borrowed them from said you would recognize them, and that they new that they couldn't let you get away."
"Hello topaz." Steven says to the fusion earning a sad smile. "Let's get this open." She says sadly before walking forward towards the diamonds..
"Your not going to like how this turns out." Steven tells emerald. "Shut up traitor, the only one who will regret anything is lars after you are shattered and i retrieve my ship!" She yells stepping forward and putting her hand on a panel opening it to see the diamonds on their thrones and their pearls besides them taking notes.
"WHO DARES!" yellow demands standing up but pausing when they see who the topaz is holding. Her rage turning into a grin."Rose" blue says angrily "Congratulations emerald you have done well you will be rewarded for capturing rose."Yellow says" "She didn't capture me." Steven speaks up. "I surrendered."
"Why would you do that, you had escaped?" Yellow asks. "Did you feel remorse for shattering her!" blue demands her powers spreading throughout the room making tears form in everyone's eyes.
Steven closes his eyes. "Im sorry topaz. " He forms his bubble, blowing topaz apart and landing on the floor. "No i'm here to finally reveal what happened to pink diamond." "then tell us." Blue demands standing up her sorrow giving way to anger. "We've been waiting for thousands of years! So just tell us!" she commands using her diamond influence to try and force her to tell the truth.
"You wouldn't believe me." He says stealing himself "So poof me,dissipate my form and all your questions will be answered."
"I don't know what you're planing rose but do not think i will fall for it." Yellow says so steven turns to blue. "You want answers so do it! POOF ME!" he yells challengingly at blue while emerald and the topazes stare on in shock at the gem shouting at their diamond.
"Fine." Blue says coldly narrowing her eyes. "But you'll wish i had shattered you if this is a lie" she says darkly before throwing her hands out blue beams of energy flying at steven hitting him in the chest, his screams echo throughout the room for what seems to be forever until a bright light blinds everyone. "Blue i think you overdid it." yellow says rubbing her eyes, gasping as the smoke clears and she sees a very familiar pink gem stone, setting in the center of the room in a pile of ash.
