"Yes," said the Yellow Diamond with majesty and calm.
Steven was delighted.
"As it turns out, the one responsible is not of Earth...or of Homeworld. But he has been a thorn in our side, even before he shattered Pink Diamond."
Then Steven took a turn for the curious.
"Who is it?" he asked.
"Our eyewitnesses call him...a doctor," the Blue Diamond said, amidst her sobbing.
"Yes," said the Yellow Diamond, dismayed, "Another goody two-shoes. He's been hopelessly defending the Earth for years, even long before we Gems came into existence."
Steven whistled with an impressed undertone. The Yellow Diamond looked down to the Pearls and Zircons.
"Rose Qu...I mean 'Steven' is cleared of all charges and may be dismissed...along with his human friend," she declared, "Will you please escort them to a ship?"
The smaller gems nodded in acceptance.
"WAIT!" said Steven, "Is it all right if I can pick up some friends on the way out?"
"Orders are orders," said the Yellow Zircon, "Now let's go."
"Well can't I at least stick around in case that...'doctor' shows up?"
The Blue Pearl began "That isn't likely..." before all were interrupted.
There was a noise-sort of an electronic whooshing sound-that spread all over the throne room. It got louder and louder, until the source of the noise appeared into view out of this air. It took the shape of...a blue English police telephone box! That only meant one thing: inside the box wasn't just a doctor...it was THE doctor! Brown hat, brown overcoat, overly-long rainbow scarf, curly brown hair, and pockets full of all sorts of thingamajigs...oh boy!
"Ah, hello everybody," he said in his trademark eccentric manner.
Suddenly, the Doctor found himself face to face with the Yellow Diamond's menacing glare.
"Doctor," she said, "We've been expecting you. Do you know of the penalty we have for shattering a diamond?"
The Blue Diamond's pupils shrank. 'What penalty?', she thought. But the Doctor had a suspicion that it had something to do with death.
"Oh come now. You know what you're thinking of can't work on me! If you kill me, I'll simply regenerate."
"Well then what's stopping me from attempting to kill you anyway?" asked the Yellow Diamond.
"Perhaps you want to know how I managed to do away with one of your leaders," said the Doctor.
He pulled out a small black bag from one of his pockets. "Jelly Baby?"
The Yellow Diamond was unamused, and with her gigantic hand, she flicked the bag away from the Doctor.
"Very well," said the Doctor, "If you must know, here it is."
From another pocket, he revealed his most prized weapon of choice, the sonic screwdriver. Steven and Lars looked in awe from afar.
"It has the capability to do almost anything I desire it to," he declared, "It has shattered a diamond before, and it's not afraid to do it again!"
In shock, the Yellow Diamond started to shout, quickly, "Pearls! Zircons! Send the Doctor to a prison at once!"
Before she could finish, the Doctor aimed the sonic screwdriver, and in a flash, the Yellow Diamond was gone...shattered...into little tiny pieces on the center of her throne.
The Blue Diamond looked at the neighboring throne, and then to the Doctor, her sobbing slowly fading.
"You...You shattered her," she said.
"Well you've gotta admit, she was getting a little cuckoo," the Doctor countered.
He turned to Steven, Lars, and the Pearls and Zircons, who all nodded in approval.
"Can I tell you something?" said the Blue Diamond, "She got on my nerves too. Always finding some silly excuse to do away with the zoo and all the humans...and often blaming Rose Quartz for everything."
"In that case, you're welcome."
"You have my thanks, Doctor, and you too 'Steven'. You and your friends are free to come and go as you wish."
Finally, it was Steven's turn to say something, "Is that it? Is the Homeworld gonna leave the Earth alone yet?"
The Blue Diamond stood up, took a bow, and disappeared. Steven didn't know what to think, but considering all that happened today, he hoped for the best.
Steven and Lars hitched a ride with the Doctor on the TARDIS, on its way back to Earth. The Doctor, being the clever Time Lord that he is, was fortunate to secure the Off-Color gems into the TARDIS before crashing the trial at the throne room. The TARDIS arrived on the East Coast, a few feet away from Downtown Beach City and the Crystal Gems' temple.
The first voice to be heard was "I predict we're being taken to a safer place!" Oh Padparadscha, you little rascal you.
Steven and Lars were happy that the whole ordeal was finally over, but their rejoicing was not to last. Several more creatures lined up along the Beach...and they've all come for the Doctor.
"EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!"
