Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Perfect but Fractured. Enjoy the 2000-word chapter. I don't own Steven Universe, Rebecca Sugar and Cartoon Network do.
(Pink Diamond's Zoo. 'That will be all'.)
Silver turned to look at a grieving Blue, it had been 2 hours or so since the 3 Diamonds had started speaking. He has since donned his cloak and mask once again.
"Wait…"
Silver heard, he looked around, he heard tears, and not ones from Blue which he knew by heart by now.
They were Human tears, he looked around and spotted a flash of red up on a balcony.
"My Diamond?"
Silver Pearl asked as Silver looked up at the Balcony, Steven was here, he knew his tears.
"Shh… Go and ready the Iridescent…"
Silver ordered, Silver Pearl bowed and left, he looked up at the balcony and crossed his arms, he kept listening to Blue and Yellow.
Yellow arguing that Blue… And to a lesser extent, him, should put the Quartz Gems behind her and Earth.
Silver was annoyed, Earth… The Quartz Gems on Earth, they shouldn't have been forgotten... And if she truly wasn't around anymore, which Silver planned on finding out EVERY detail once he got home.
But if it was the case, he would never let her legacy, her collection and ownership of resources, be taken away for her.
"Blast it, Yellow, why can't you just let Blue grieve? If Pink is gone, then how is destroying her resources… Her legacy is something I will never let you destroy that legacy…"
Silver hissed at Yellow, she turned to face her, Blue was crying but looked in Silver in astonishment… And thankfulness.
"It will be too late, Silver, once the Cluster destroys Earth, there will be nothing left of her colony… And that just leaves the Rose Quartz Gems who failed to protect her… Who shattered her…."
Silver heard from Yellow, Silver was silent but grunted, he turned back to Blue.
"Blue… We have things to talk about when we get back to Homeworld… And Yellow, you will never understand suffering about Pink… At least about her legacy."
Silver said, he wiped a tear out of his eye as Blue turned back and started to cry, Silver heard Yellow tell her Pearl to start singing.
Silver signed in frustration, it wasn't fair, Pink… Was gone, it wasn't right….
Silver turned back to Blue and Yellow, Yellow and him had unfinished business that would have to be resolved by Homeworld.
Blue didn't know him, and he her… But the Diamond was growing on her… And he had heard a little from Pink about Blue.
He was determined to see if the rumors bore fruit.
"My Diamonds, I have a surprise for you, do you need anything else while I'm here though?"
Holly Blue asked, all three Diamonds turned to face her, Silver raised an eyebrow, a Sapphire was next to her.
Silver grunted in annoyance at how she kept chattering on, Agates weren't this annoying the last time he remembered them.
"Get to the point, Agate."
Silver heard from Yellow and he laughed at this, turning to face her.
"Yes, for once I agree with Yellow, get to the point… We don't have all day to be here and chat…"
Silver stated, he looked at the Sapphire, she seemed… Familiar, but Silver couldn't tell what memory he remembered her from.
"Yes, my deepest apologies, you will be pleased to hear your Sapphire has completed her Special Delivery…"
Holly Blue stated as Silver and Yellow shared a look before Silver heard Blue speak up.
"What Special Delivery?"
Silver heard from Blue, his Pearl returned around this time, Silver crossed his arms.
"Um, the special delivery you requested from Earth of course…"
Holly Blue stated, Silver crossed his arms tighter.
"I never asked any Sapphire to go to Earth…"
Blue hissed, Silver turned to make sure Steven was still around.
He was, and watching Silver and the others, Silver hummed at this.
"I… Um…"
Sapphire said as the ground started to freeze up, Silver's Citrine guards began to spread out, ready to defend their Diamonds if they were needed.
"My… Future Vision foresaw you, my diamond, desiring more Humans for the Zoo… So, I acted accordingly."
Sapphire stated, Silver raised an eyebrow, now he had a guess who the Sapphire was.
He wanted to test that theory.
"And why didn't you call in before then? Most Gems would report that to their Diamonds… And how did you know we were here?"
Silver asked, Ruby answered this time.
"Future vision, and a lucky guess, my Diamond…."
Silver heard, he hummed at this, Blue nodded.
"It's true… The window for preserving Earth Specimens is closing..."
Silver heard Blue put in, Silver hummed once more as Yellow cut in.
"Is that what you want? Sapphire, has the Cluster formed yet?"
Yellow asked, Silver knew the answer for that, if Jasper was left behind, it would be a political disaster for Yellow…
Make that WOULD HAVE been a political disaster.
"No, my Diamond."
Sapphire reported, Yellow nodded at this.
"Then there's still time, that will be all."
Yellow said with a clap of her hands, the trio bowed and left, Silver's guards stood down.
"I guess our business is concluded here, my Diamonds?"
Blue Pearl asked, Silver hummed once more.
"I will meet you at Homeworld, Blue… I want to check something… Pearl, make sure my ship is ready to travel…"
Silver ordered, he started walking towards the door the trio had left through, he motioned to his guards to come with him as he did so.
"Great talking to you both since then…. See you on Homeworld, Blue."
Silver said as he left through the door, Yellow had already left, Blue decided to stay for a few minutes.
"My Diamond?"
Silver heard, they heard sounds of Combat, Silver saw Holly Blue wrapped up in her own whip.
And a Roaming Eye, Pearl, Garnet, Steven, Greg and Amethyst climbing in.
"My Diamond!"
Holly Blue yelled but Silver ignored her, his Citrine Guards were Quartz Gems, like all soldier Gems for the most part.
But they were elite, Silver watched the Citrines charge the Roaming Eye.
"Their traitors, shatter them all!"
Silver heard as they pushed and knocked the cheering Amethysts out of the way, Pearl locked the door in their face but one of them knocked the ship to the ground.
"Rip it open, shatter them!"
Silver heard from one of his Citrines, he looked around, they would be dealing with everyone in the room, Holly Blue was still talking, he tuned her out.
"ENOUGH!"
Silver bellowed, they turned and walked off, Silver walked to the ship and bent down to look in through the glass.
"Their no threat…. Let them go."
Silver stated, Steven looked at him, he ignored Steven, he had things to do, he still cared for the boy.
But not even the Crystal Gems were more important then those plans… At least not in the moment.
"My Diamond!? But their traitors!"
Holly Blue yelled, Silver glared at her and lifted the ship with one hand, he turned away from Steven and the others.
"Should I even ask how you failed Blue Diamond… Ill forgive this failure if you listen to my words… I know those Humans, they aren't even a threat… The Cluster will destroy them, let them go to their deaths… Let them go…"
Silver ordered, one of his Gems let Holly Blue go, Silver turned and left the Crystal Gems, his Citrines bared their weapons in front of their Diamond as Silver walked into the throne room.
Silver didn't even watch the Roaming Eye leave, he crossed his arms and walked into the throne room.
"Pearl, let's get going, I'm done here… Pearl?"
Silver asked before he was cut off by a voice.
"Citrines, join your crew on your Diamond's ship."
Silver heard, Silver turned to see Blue Pearl walking towards them, the Citrines wanted to speak up but Silver nodded.
"I'll meet you on Homeworld, take the Iridescent and return to Homeworld… I will meet you there…"
Silver ordered, he crossed his arms, he didn't want to assume something… But he did, he knew why Blue Pearl was here.
"Does Blue… Want me to come with her?"
Silver asked, he crossed his arms, Blue seemed to take an interest in him… That surprised him, a lot more then he thought he should be.
"Yes…. She wanted to meet with you… And since you wanted to talk with her, she thought you may start your discussion on the Consular."
Blue Pearl explained, Silver hummed at this, he looked at the bubbled Gems around him before nodding.
"Let us speak… There is much to do, Pearl… And I wish to find out what I missed in all of the years I've been missing out on."
Silver stated.
(Roaming Eye.)
Steven and the others were silent, Pearl had worried that this would happen, but she was surprised it did.
"So… I guess Silver isn't part of team Crystal Gem anymore, huh?"
Greg asked, Garnet spoke up after that.
"It seems so… Silver has joined the other Diamonds… He doesn't seem to be on our side… Silver might be an ally still but he might be an enemy…"
Garnet put in, Steven was silent, Silver had known he was in the room, he had looked right at the boy, and then he had stopped his guards from killing them.
Steven couldn't tell if Silver was on their side or not, but he did know Silver still recognized them, he could have pointed them out to Blue and Yellow but he didn't.
That mattered to him and that counted for something in his mind.
(Blue Diamond's Flagship/Warship, Consular.)
Silver was getting accustomed to having to stand on Blue Diamond's hand, he had to do it when he had first met it, she had picked him up while on the Zoo and now he stood on her hand as the Consular sped towards Homeworld, carrying the two Diamonds aboard it.
"Silver?"
Blue asked, Silver turned from looking out the bridge window to turning to look at his fellow Diamond.
"Sorry, I was thinking, yes, Blue?"
Silver asked, his tone was always soft with her, he had no quarrel, no need to be angry towards her, Yellow had ruined plans of his, White…. Had taken much from him.
"Thank you for defending Pink…. Yellow still cares for her as you saw… But thank you for defending her."
Blue stated, Silver nodded, Yellow buried her feelings about everything she cared about, Silver knew Yellow like a Bismuth knew their building materials and weapons.
"Pink was…. A good friend of mine, I have known her for a while after she got Earth…. If she is gone like you said, then I will do whatever I can to make sure her legacy isn't destroyed…. Pink told me a lot about you…"
Silver stated, Silver wiped a tear from his eyes, Pink… Whoever had shattered her… If she had been shattered like he heard.
He wouldn't stop till he ripped them to pieces and destroyed them entirely, there would be nothing in the world able to stop him, nothing that could get in in his way would.
"You're a lot like she said… Though she said you were more ruthless a while ago… You're a lot kinder then Yellow… Yellow and Pink didn't tell you about me, did they?"
Silver asked, Silver was answered by a nod, Silver frowned at this.
"Ok… Ask away…. I want to know about you and you want to know about me…"
Author Notes
Phew, another chapter done! Yes, so Silver knew about Steven and let them get away… Also, Silver is growing fonder of Blue but neither know the other… As for why Silver let his guards attack Steven and them? He didn't want them to get away so he could find out if they were the Crystal Gems. Next chapter will be either Wednesday or Sunday. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
