I'm so sorry I was silent for quite some time. Things have happened in my life and I needed to take care of them first...

But as promised, here is another chapter.

Hope you will enjoy it!

Some stuff I want to clear out:

1) Keep in mind that this story has Multiple Diamonds with same colors, meaning that there might be two Yellow Diamonds or Three Blue Diamonds. Same goes with Gems.

2) This Chapter was written before the trailer of "Diamond Days" showed up. I apologize for any mistakes.

3) This chapter might be confusing if you're not familiar with Warhammer 40k setting. But don't worry, this story does not set in Warhammer 40k Universe. It only reuses some stuff.

4) If you have any questions, any critics or anything. Let me know. I will provide the answers as soon as possible.

P.S: You can go to hell, Tumblr.


Chapter 1: The Shadows Of Ancient Foe

Episode 2: The Corruption Rising

Second Era, 99.991 Cycle, The eight-period of Mid Spark (Homeworld's Time Measure)

10, June 2017 AD, 12.15 AM (Earth's Time Measure)


I questioned myself how I would feel from seeing her alive...

"Happy that I finally met her since my birth?"

"Sad how it turned to be for her and me?

"Or Angry for every lie she gave to Me?

"I never had an answer to kind of answer, Children."

And yet...I rejoiced

The Crystal Gems rejoiced as well seeing their Diamond alive.

Even the Diamonds were happy...

But I was naive that her Return would not lead the problems the Homeworld never had since Black Corruption...

Even oldest the Enemies of Gemkind have learned her's return.

And everything went downhill from here...To the Point Of The Second War Of Black Corruption. - The Memories Of Fourth Pink Diamond


Milky Way Galaxy/The "Dark" Space Region/?

For many millennia, Homeworld colonized a lot of the Galaxy, reaching it's borders, dominating the southern and Eastern part of the Galaxy, with the exception of Far North Region and The West from Planet Earth

The West Region Of Milky Way Galaxy has always been off-radar for Homeworld's plan for colonization. Many Gems tried to explore this strange region and most of them didn't even return...

Those who returned however told the Homeworld something "feels off" when they ventured into the region...many Gems succumbed into Insanity, phobia of Darkness and strong paranoia that someone "watches" them from shadows.

The Diamond Authority, including The Council Of White Diamond's StarChildren, speculated it might be a hiding spot for the remnants of Corrupted Legions...

When it comes to mentioning these Traitorous Gem Legions...there is always some sort of atmosphere of fear and paranoia over it..as the past reminds the Nightmare the Black Corruption did on Homeworld.

When Gem Empire was just founded. The "Great Unification" Era after the establishment of Diamond Authority sparked the Rise Of Gem Empire as dominant power among other civilianizations.

And with the rise of the New Empire. The Diamonds of Forgotten Era led their newly created army of sentient Rocks: Nicknamed "Gems" after The Gemorian Sentient Technology for the first time on the battlefield.

They fought fiercely, reclaiming every planet Homeworld lost after the "The Great Armageddon". They Established the Great Mighty Nation who next Eras Of Gems will serve...

In the end, The Great Unification reached its peak. The Gem Empire nearly recovered all of its lost colonies, established a United Empire under the leadership of the Great Diamond Authority.

There was a Great Optimism for New Era, an Era where mistakes of the Past won't happen again for the sake of keeping the Gemkind and their Creators for the Greater Good.

They were wrong...

The Black Corruption occurred shortly after, The half of Diamond Authority with their Gem Legions turned against their sisters for their own beliefs and visions.

The Chaos erupted...The Empire was shattered like a Gem...

Even after the decisive victory at the Great Battle Of Homeworld against Legions Of Corruption, The Great Era Of Stagnation and Homeworld's crippling administration slowed the process of recovering.

And today the old marks of Black Corruption still erupts deep in Dark Void Of Unexplored Space, waiting for the opportunity to strike at Loyalist Gems and Their False Diamonds...

All In The Name Of Corruption

And so this Region was nicknamed as "The Dark Space" where any Sane Gem will go...and return as a worshipper of some strange nonexistent entities...

Yet It didn't stop Homeworld to create any plans to capture The Dark Region from the hands of Traitorous Legions. Just sometime before the Crystal Rebellion. Homeworld planned one day to Colonize the Dark Space and get rid of the Traitorous Gems.

Once The Third Pink Diamond would have colonized the first planet and later Connect her Newly Acquired Sector with Yellow Diamond's own. The Fourth Pink Diamond would, later on, have set his/her plans to expand the Gem Empire further into Dark Space, leading her/his Gems against the Fallen to Corruption Gems

It never happened and this Region remained as a mystery as is still today...

But not for all the Gems...


Milky Way Galaxy/The "Dark" Space/The Handship Of "Discovery"

Just right at this very moment where Steven finally saw his mom for the first time. There is a Single Handship slowly swimming in an Infinite sea of Dark Space.

The design and color clearly resemble how a long time ago this fine Handship once belonged to the Old Generation of Blue Diamonds...

But now not anymore...

This Handship was turned from the finest Vessel of Diamond Authority into a horrid nightmare. Like the once beautiful fingers who turned into sharp claws.

The insides of the Handship are not better. Every corridor and every sector of the handship turned into Cult like theme...

And What about the Gems themselves of this Handship?

Not even better than the ship itself.

Once the Proud Legion Of Second Blue Diamond during The Great Unification Era, They, alongside their Diamond have turned their backs on Golden Diamond and pursued their own ambitious goals across the Galaxy, searching for knowledge and secrets of the Universe.

And since The Black Corruption, The Legion changed radically. Everything that resembled the Blue Court in them is gone...

When Black Diamond doesn't hold a grudge over White Diamond and doesn't need their service. The Legion Of Blue Moon spends their free-time with studying everything they came across, from small draft notes to book of forbidden knowledge.

Each Gem of Blue Moon Legion believes in their own ambitious goals. Each one tries to gather the fast amount knowledge to gain upper hand over other fellow Sorceress Of Legion. Fortunately for the sake of keeping the Legion's number of "Black Corruption" veterans. All of them are united in a single goal that every Gem of Blue Moon Legion shares it.

To Destroy The False Diamond Authority once and for all.

In one particular Room for rituals. There is one Sapphire who gathered already a fast amount of knowledge for the Legion and prays to the altar for the guidance of some kind of warp entity...nicknamed "Tzeentch" by the Legion.

She expects for Lord Of Change to give the slightest hint for locations where they can find even more knowledge...

But Instead...

The Cultist Sapphire gained a vision...not a vision of the past or future...rather a vision of the present.

It showed her the Great Mountains Of Hope where the Keep of those "Parasites" is located...interestingly, "The Changer Of Ways" didn't show any plots, any schemes the Diamond Authority plan on their slaves...

However, she received a vision that happens at this very moment...where it seems that the Loyalist found the way to...return the Third Pink Diamond alive.

"Mom!" A Weird creature called out towards the Third Pink Diamond, Sapphire nearly her lost focus due to the share amount of weirdness she gained from seeing A HUMAN on Homeworld.

"We are finally together...Steven" Pink Diamond gently whispered, there was single tear drop before Sapphire lost her vision.

Sapphire slowly opened her eye, processing everything she just has seen. It felt...rather...interesting that they never found the found way to bring any Gem or Diamond back from the shattered...It would be a great contribution to their Long War against Loyalists.

"So the Child of Our Creator not only cheated death...but have off-spring now?" The Cultist Sapphire thought loudly as she rubbed her plated face slowly, feeling the good energy that comes from Pink's impressive set of plans to fool the White Diamond...

Once this Sapphire was the part of Blue Court, now she doesn't have anything that is common from her normal Gem Sisters from Homeworld.

This Sapphire wears the crystal made armor with the strict design of runes and strange symbols...

And top of all, her head covers the same runish helmet with a slight opening that barely makes her face visible...but it is just a pure darkness with Blue glowing eye that barely even moves at all...

No Sapphires from any Court never had a privilege to wear this "atrocious" outfit..and many of them would never even put them on for the sole purpose for their reputation in Courts.

But this Saphire is not a Fool who follows the False Diamonds and their lies...

"My Master might be interested in it." This was the only words the Cultist Blue Sapphire murmured

Sapphire put her hand to each side and cast spell. Her hands began to glow in full bright blue cast herself out of her room...

Next time, she warped herself into another room for rituals and studying. The differences with Sapphire's room however that this one filled with bookshelves who contain the infinite amount of knowledge of the Galaxy...and some of them were gifted by their God in exchange for "favors"

Blue Sapphire carefully walked closer to another Gem...and that Gems "floats" in the middle of the room...

A Pearl Gem to be more correct...if you can even call her "Pearl" anymore.

Much like Sapphire's appearance. The Pearl's form hides behind the armor with the only exception of the long leotard-made robe that covers her torso and legs.

Only her glowing blue eyes and her pointy plated nose are the only signs that she belonged to Blue Diamond...the rest is a now history.

Unfortunately for Sapphire's sake. This Pearl is busy with studying the book they recovered very recently from ruins of Planet Natakhara.

The Visions from "Changer Of Ways" have granted them a possible solution to destroy Loyalist Diamonds without even touching them. It pointed to the planet called Nakhara which is controlled by Gemorian Mandate. Apparently, it revealed them there are some ruins of Homeworld's Pre-Gem Era who might have the knowledge to destroy the Diamonds.

The question remains is how that book might have the answers.

Although, Sapphire already can guess it was "just as planned" trick created by their God due to the share amount how the Pearl Sorceress is already pissed off on the book. She either grumbles, turns the pages in an aggressive manner or growls in hatred.

Sapphire slowly made two steps forward and remained very quiet before she let herself speak.

"Master Sorceress? I have some news you might be interested to learn from me."

The sudden voice backfired at Pearl. She lost her focus and let herself collapse on the cold floor with a book casually felling down on her head.

"Oh, I'm sorry, my lady Pearl. I didn't mean to disturb you that much...although I believe our Lord Of Changed himself planned to make you fall miserably" The Cultist Sapphire walked even closer to Sorceress Blue Pearl. Her voice had a hint of a chuckle

And of course, The Sorceress didn't take that kindly of Sapphire's little game. So the Sorceress Pearl's left clawed hand glowed in dark blue energy before she was"warped" right into Sapphire's face. In the pure second she grabbed Sapphire's plated neck and brought closer to her own...now the three eyes of two cultists staring at each other as The Sorceress is about to the rant

"Not only you brought yourself without my acceptance, Sapphire! You DARE to come here and make a fun of ME!"

"I get it...You're upset with the results, my lady!" Sapphire groaned annoyingly.

"OF COURSE I'M UPSET, YOU SACK OF GEM DUST! I already wasted my time with this book to find the secrets of Diamonds...BUT NO! I WAS FOOLED AGAIN!" Pearl clenched Sapphire's neck even further. Even Pearl's sudden anger let her body release the psyching energy around the room.

"My lady! I understand your anger but please don't let yourself to commit towards the Blood God...you know what he does to the Psykers like us"

The Sorceress slowly lowered her head and didn't say a word. It's a good sign she at least heard Cultist Sapphire's word of wisdom.

"You're right, My Sapphire." Pearl Sorceress whispered calmly this time. Surprisingly, she let go of Sapphire's neck, making the short Gem Cultist collapse on her knees.

Sorceress Pearl then summoned her staff and growled at herself. She clenched her hand and imagined how she holds the shards of Loyalist Diamonds...ready to sacrifice in the name of Dark Gods...

"It was one of our Lord's great schemes of plans, isn't it?" The Cultist Sapphire added.

"indeed...this book doesn't contain what we have been promised..now I nearly searched the Galaxy for a vast amount of knowledge in order to destroy Diamonds once and for all...yet I failed and failed over again."

The Pearl Sorceress took a deep breath and let it go. Perhaps her Legion could provoke the Black Legion Of Corruption and Diamond Empire into another war.

"And this is where you're wrong, my Master. There is still a hope I have uncovered." Sapphire finally stand on her foot, breaking the silence between two cultists

"Oh really? Well, tell me how just a normal Follower Of "Changer Of Ways" might know the answers I searched for the MILLENIA! " The Pearl's demonic voice sounded very sarcastic...even adding the fuel of rage at the end.

Her response made Sapphire share a small quick laugh.

"My Lady. We have come the long way since our betrayal. And even today, I do consider you as our Greatest Champion among The Legion Of Blue Moon...but you must admit that you're not only one who wishes Diamond's Death. After all, I'm the one who gave you an idea to you to trap our Blue Diamond into the sarcophagus to keep her away from Lord's Of Decay's influence."

With Sapphire's mention. A Strange knock came out with loud female moaning...

"Oh, this is what we just needed" The Sorceress complained, slapping her plated forehead as it's about to begin.

"I'm can hear you over theeere!"

The Cultist Sapphire looked back where this voice came from and noticed their Diamond's Sarcophagus lying on the corner. Seems the Pearl performed some experiments on her Diamond.

"GO TO SLEEP, you pile of decaying carcass! " The Sorceress immediately summoned a lightning bolt towards the Blue Diamond's Sarcophagus. The explosion caused the Decaying Blue Diamond leaving out the cry of pain...The Blood God definitely enjoyed that moment of her suffering.

The Sorceress Pearl then shook her hand from the smoke coming from her clawed fingers.

"SOON YOU WILL PAY FOR YOUR TREACHEEERY, PEARL!" The Voice again came from the sarcophagus, this time even more in an angry voice.

The Sorceress only chuckled how her Diamond hopes for Pearl's failure...yet she didn't realize she only feeds Pearl's God...what a Foolish Diamond.

"Perhaps it is time to admit that your own "Defective" Pearl has "inherited" your own Legion, Blue Diamond...and I will enjoy taking your role while you rot for your own God..." The Sorceress then shared a quick quit laugh at her Diamond...

Yet unfortunately, there was no response came from Second Blue Diamond's sarcophagus...she lost her unconscious from Pearl's massive warp-blast.

Blue Pearl sighed in disappointment, wanting to further make her Diamond have misery...perhaps later then.

"Alright then, Sapphire. If you're so akin to be proud of that little "problem". What makes you think I will be interested?" The Sorceress turned back at her Servant

The Cultist Sapphire again step closer to begin explaining her vision "Well, my lady. I was doing my daily ritual towards our God...and apparently, I was blessed with the vision of the present."

"A Vision of Present?" Blue Pearl suspiciously repeats, narrowing her glowing eyes "Even that was a case of yours, Sapphire. What can your vision of Present give me to finally destroy Loyalist Gems and False Diamonds?"

Sapphire smirked by it..now that she finally has her attention.

"It will ruin our Lord's surprise, My Master. You have to see for yourself."

The Cultist Blue Sapphire walked to the center of the room and pictured these visions inside her corrupted Gemstone...Then she used her warp energy and cast a fireball that allows projecting her visions on her hands.

And just in front of Pearl's glowing eyes. Sapphire's spell showed her a frozen image of a Diamond...

The Third Pink Diamond to be exact...

The Sorceress Pearl was first surprised by it...though her surprise remained barely than 10 seconds as any Tzeentch follower should understand the great scheme their God does on them...

"So...A Third Pink Diamond returned from dead...impressive...Lord Tzeentch may or may not smile from your little scheme, Pink Diamond" Blue Pearl commented.

"And not only that, My Master. Apparently, She has an offspring too: A Human Boy named Steven Universe from the Loyalist Diamonds said in my vision."

"And now Diamonds use the Xenos for their own pleasure...how mighty they have fallen since Black Corruption" Pearl Sorcereress added.

"So I should not be telling what I have in my mind, My Master..." Blue Sapphire then extinguished her fireball, ending her visions for Sorceress

"Indeed, My Sapphire...you should not tell me all of this" The Sorceress slowly nodded, she is already picturing the results of her plan...and it makes her more ambitious.

The Sorceress Pearl unexpectedly gestured Sapphire to follower her as she began to leave the room and straight into the rest of their Chambers.

"Where you going, my Lady?" Sapphire rushed to her.

"We must prepare ourselves for the greatest Plan this Legion never performed, Sapphire." The Sorceress added

There was no reply from Sapphire, but eventually, as she follows her masters through the corridors. She finally broke her silence.

"Now that you know about Pink Diamond's Existence. What the greatest plan you come up with to destroy the Diamond Authority?"

The Sorceress Of Tzeentch at first didn't reply...which was a mystery for Sapphire for a short time.

Yet she unexpectedly stopped and turned back at Sapphire. With a single blink of her glowing eyes, she finally spoke.

"Perhaps we should start from the beginning, my Sapphire."

"All the way from the start, My Lady?"

"Yes, My Sapphire. All the way from the start..."

With a swift move. Her Hands glowed and the Sorceress warped both of them to the hangar. She immediately proceeded forward, Sapphire didn't hesitate to lose the tail and followed her Master.

"When I was just a Pearl for Blue Court, I heard the whispers of my Master."

"I answered his call and became The Patron Of Change."

"By his own wish, I Corrupted My Diamond for him."

"Then I corrupted Black Diamond for our Gods"

"With the power of our New Masters, Black Diamond led the greatest Crusade Against her White Counterpart"

"But Fell in the battle against her, leading into a long war with Homeworld"

"But Now as Millenia have passed..."

"Black Diamond's never-ending hatred to White Diamond still burns as Khorne demands it.

"The Gem Legions Of Corruption Undivided are stronger than ever was"

"With the Return Of Golden Diamond's Creation and her offspring. We finally may or may not have a chance to heal Black Diamond and corrupt them both..."

"And once Black and White will have the final confrontation against each other."

"They both will fall..."

As Sorceress finished telling her plan. Both Followers Of Change stopped in front of another Aspiring Sorcerer: Lapis Lazuli Of Blue Moon's Legion...and just like Sapphire and Blue Pearl...Lapis Lazuli is corrupted just like her fellow sorceress in this Legion.

"You seem to be in the positive mood, Champion Of Tzeentch...finally learned the secrets of Diamonds you have searched for the whole millennia?" Lapis Lazuli asked in none-caring voice.

"Even better for your own little schemes, Sorceress Lazuli. Inform our Rubric Gems to turn the handship towards the "Black Terror". We have to speak with Yellow Diamond: The Pillager...and Black Diamond herself just in case."

"Feeling Nostalgic of Good Old Days, Lady Pearl?" Lazuli smugged at her Master...if you would call it "smugging"

"Perhaps I can open sarcophagus of our Diamond to express my feeling of the "nostalgia", Aspiring Sorceress" The Sorceress Pearl hissed back at her less powerful colleague.

"There is no need for that, I assure you, Lady Pearl," Lazuli answered back very slowly.

"Then do as you were told to, Lazuli! Our Gods Demands no delays!" The Sorceress Pearl left it out on Lazuli.

"If the Gods Of Corruption wills it...very good then" Sorceresses Lazuli bowed to Pearl and teleported away.

Sapphire came closer, she did give one carefully look at Sorceress before saying what she wanted.

"And once The Diamonds will be destroyed...what are your plans for Gemkind, My Master?" Sapphire added.

"Without Diamonds...We shall be free from the chains they made for us at last...

"And then..."

"We can have..."

"The eternal peace."


Milky Way Galaxy/The "Dark" Space/The Handship Of "Discovery"

As Sorceress Lapis Lazuli promised. The Handship Of "Discovery" set it's a course to the "Black Terror" The Main Flagship of Black Legion's Navy.

There they warped to another system. And soon after, they head straight to the Black Legion's Fleet, stationed on the orbit of Tomb World...probably has been used Growing Corrupted Gems for the Black Legion.

The History of Blue Moon Legion with Black Legion is somewhat, disturbing to say at least...even if the Sorceeres Pearl follows the Warp Entity who represents the Chaos in it's purest form. The Blue Legion at least don't tend to be violent to their enemies...their only wish is to destroy the Diamond Authority's Tyranny and spread the word of Tzeentch's existence to Homeworld.

Unfortunately, The Black Legion's goals are the opposite of Blue Moon's...

Ever since the Legions of Corruption Undivided lost the Great Battle Of Homeworld and placed Black Diamond on life support. The Black Diamond's never-ending hatred towards White Diamond had grown into rapid rage towards anything that is "White colored", Her Legion intent to destroy everything that is loyal to White Diamond...from the White Court itself to innocent Gems who are not even is part of the White Court.

This kind of behavior made the Legion Of Blue Moon stay away from Black Legion as far as possible...yet the Blue Legion still supports Black Legion with "schemes" and "plots" if needed...for the sake of keeping the Sorceress's Own Legion away from Front Lines.

The Sorceress Pearl never wanted to ally with these Corrupted Black Gems in the first place. But her Diamond when she was in charge, ignored her warnings and still formed a mutual alliance with them against the Loyalist Diamond Authority...this is the point where the Sorceress Pearl felt their Diamond is slipping away from her logic...

Even before Pearl became the Patron Of Change for her God, she heavenly despised the Black Court and their atmosphere of negativity.

Due to how their Black Diamond was created. The Black Legion viewed the surroundings and the Galaxy in a rather pessimistic way.

From what The Sorceress remembers about Pre-Corruption Black Legion. The Black Gems never smiled, never expressed their emotions to everyone for the sake of keeping their Court and Legion strong. Their Diamond believed that her Legion must not fall in false beliefs of hope and for the greater good.

Eventually, It backfired them back severely. They were the first victims of Gem Corruption...not to add the Great Purge the Golden Diamond with White Diamond unleashed to them after learning they have been affected by newly disease.

And now, The Black Diamond swore vengeance on White Diamond for destroying nearly half of her Legion...even today.

When The Corrupted Handship Of Blue Moon Legion moved very close to the fleet. There was no message from of authorization came from the Fleet...seems they finally learned to understand between the Loyalist and Corrupted Ships.

The handship just stopped at the right side from the "Black Terror". The Ship Of Black Legion then extended the airlock ramp for Blue Moon Legion.

The Champion Sorceress Pearl alongside the newly promoted Acolyte Sapphire with Aspiring Sorceerees Lapis Lazuli are the only Gems who ventured into the Black Terror. The rest of Sorceress in Handship were ordered to stay inside.

"I regret every single second of my existence on this Tzeentch's forsaken ship!" The Sorceress Lazuli murmured to herself as she follows her Master through the long ramp airlock

"Patience, Lazuli. Our Visit here is only are part of a mutual partnership with them...I have no pleasure in dealing with them as well" The Sorceress Pearl rolled her glowing eyes.

"Still, we should just destroy the Diamond Authority from the inside. How can we rely on such foul beasts makes me shatter some Gems From Blood Legion."

"As I told you...I'm NOT going to put my Legion to the frontlines, Lazuli. Black Legion exists for these type of job."

"Very good then, My Master." The Sorceress Lazuli growled

As they reached the end of airlock hall. The Main Door Slide in and another three gems from Black Legion stepped in to greet three Cultists: Two Black Amethyst Warriors and One Black Peridot to be exact.

The Sorceress Lapis Lazuli would have vomited if she was an organic entity. Describing these three Gems is even worse for her...

The Two and One Peridot from Black Legion are corrupted...not corrupted into Corrupted Beast...by at the halted stage of it.

The Two Amethyst already corrupted to the point of the near in "beast" state. Nearly of their body are grown in spikes, marks, and et.c

As for Peridot. Her body corrupted that even her limb enhancers became a part of her...not to add how her entire body has been modified...to the point nearly been a turned into a cyborg...

"Greetings, The Warriors Of Her Dark Majesty. We have come to deliver a special news towards the Black Legion."

The Corrupted Peridot looked back at these corrupted Amethysts. One of them just shrugged while another did nothing...only breathing rapidly

"Where is your Diamond, Legion Of Blue Moon?" Peridot looked back at them.

"Let just say Our Diamond is...our of her post *chuckle*"

"And who are you then?" Corrupted Peridot added with the weird sense.

"I'm Blue Pearl of Blue Moon Legion: The Follower Of Change, The Greatest Sorcereress of Tzeentch. I'm the current leader of our Legion and we have come for a special message for your Dark Majesty...about the Loyalist Scum." The Sorceress Pearl hit her staff against the floor with a proud stance.

"Well then...The Dark Apostle with Yellow Diamond: The Pillager are here as well...If it's really that important. You may have an audience with our Diamond."

"Very good then, Peridot."

"Shall I guide you to the Command Bridge?"

"The Legion will handle it." The Sorceress immediately then performed the cast and all Blue Legion's Sorcereress present with her warped away, making the Black Peridot flinch back.

Next time, the three Cultists Of Change appeared on com room, just one room away from the bridge itself.

"I have a high opinion of you, My Master. But your constant flattery to the Black Legion makes me disgusted by you."

"Do you think I have pleasantries with them as well, Lazuli? I didn't cast a "Curse Of Dust" just for fun. You should thank me I saved you from the Corruption."

"Thank you!? For stripping the entire Blue Moon Legion from their Lighting Form?! ARE YOU SERIOUS?!" Lazuli growled

"It was necessary from keeping the Lord Of Decay away from us, Lazuli. Even if our forms are nothing but a pile of dust. We still are strong than never before." Sapphire Acolyte Added

"We shall see, Acolyte..if you will be right in the end," The Aspiring Sorceress Lazuli growled.

"Regardless of what you feel towards the Black Legion, Lazuli. Let me talk with them and sooner we have done, the sooner we will leave this ship." Pearl assured.

"Make it quick then..." The Sorceress released her agony from the non-existing mouth for the last time and became quiet.

Three Sorreceeres the entered the command bridge. Like the Corrupted Peridot mentioned to them. The Dark Apostle with Yellow Diamond: The Pillager are here as well.

Currently, they are having a brief talk with the orb that gently attached to the altar in the middle of the command bridge...but the inside of the orb. There is two pair of black colored and diamond-shaped pupil eyes, staring at the Dark Apostle very carefully from the shadows...

The Sorceress Pearl carefully walked closer to them. The Black Eyes were the first to change it's gaze at her, followed by Dark Apostle and then Corrupted Yellow Diamond who then left them to observe the passing Corrupted Ships Of Black Legion.

"Blue Pearl...what an unexpected surprise you come here." The Dark Apostle was the first to greet her.

The Term "Dark Apostle" might be misleading for other Legions of Corruption. But the Black Legion follows the strict doctrine that Black Diamond created for her plans for the Gemkind...And The Dark Apostle makes sure her Master's beliefs still chained on her Legion's mind.

When Black Diamond was put on the life support system. She needed someone to be her eyes and hears for the Legion. She was lucky that her pathetic sister bullies her Starchild White Diamonds to the point of desertion. Although The StarChildren of White Diamond rarely become renegades, unlike Gems...They easily can be succumbed to the other side if needed...

And that's where Dark Apostle comes in, Once The Fallen Starchild who deserted from White Diamond and joined Black Diamond...

They sometimes referred to as "Children Of Twilight" just to mock the Starchildren.

Pearl immediately kneeled to the altar, she raised her arms and extended them left and right. Like she is praying towards the Godlike Entity.

"My Black Diamond: The Greatest Diamond that ever exists on Homeworld. The Blue Legion have a great Honor to serve your Darkness in its entire glory. And in order to repay your gracious attitude. We have some information that might help you to recover."

"What a sellout" The Sorceress Lapis whispered..and her little comment made The Acolyte Sapphire elbowed her aggressively, reminding they are in front of the "Lady Of The Dark"

The Eyes of Black Diamond didn't even shifted, didn't blinked, and not even made a sudden move at Sorceress.

Only The Dark Apostle came closer to Pearl. She or He gazed at her "masters" two pairs of eyes inside the orb. Black Diamond replied with the same move.

"You may speak with us, Sorceress." The Dark Apostle replied.

"Speak...Blue Pearl"

The Sorceress Pearl already gained that kind of fear from hearing Black Diamond's chilling and calm yet dangerous voice...she heard the rumors how Black Diamond can destroy Gem with a single thought...if it's true like Black Legion says...the Sorceress prefers to let it be a mystery.

At least for now, of course...

"My Lady Of The Darkness. Since the Great Corruption. The Legion Of Blue Moon understands the great suffering you experiencing after you were nearly destroyed by-"

"Don't NOT mention her name!" The Dark Apostle warned, raising her own staff at the Sorceress.

"Listen to my servant's voice..."

"Yes, of course. As you wish, My Lady...but we finally found the possible solution to finally heal your wounds, My Shadow..."

"And what it will be?" The Dark Apostle made a little song from it.

"Yeeees..."

The Sorceress Pearl looked back at the Acolyte Sapphire and gestured with her head to show them. It's the time everyone has waited.

Sapphire nodded immediately and stood up. Without any delays, she cast a spell and on her hands and formed the frozen image she showed the Sorceress earlier.

"My Lady. Meet the Third Pink Diamond...the one who betrayed White Diamond for the sake of some filthy species." The Acolyte Sapphire added.

"Twilight... " The Black Diamond's eyes shifted its gaze at Pink Diamond...and that's it.

There was neither word or sound came after her little quiet word. Black Diamond keeps staring at the frozen image of Pink Diamond...She only blinked once from this entire conversation.

Even worse, The Corrupted Yellow Diamond: The Pillager even became interested in it. He came closer to and crossed his arms, observing the image without any word.

Meanwhile, Both Sapphire and Lazuli are just standing...waiting...for anything to happen.

"This is so awkward...like...that kind of "awkward" if you get my meaning, Acolyte." Lapis sighed,

"Like one time you found the notes about mating methods of Organic Species?" Sapphire whispered.

"Correct...and I don't want to be here anymore..." The Sorceress Lazuli shivered.

This Silence remained less than one minute before Black Diamond's shifted her gaze at Sorceress Pearl. Yet she is not one who will speak at her.

"Black Diamond thanks you for your news, The Sorceress Pearl. We would like you to remain while your Companions may return to your ship."

"With honor, Dark Apostle." The Sorceress Pearl turned her back and gestured her fellow Cultists to leave her for now. Both Acolyte Sapphire with Lapis Lazuli immediately warped away.

The Dark Apostle grabbed her Master's orb and walked closer to Pearl. He or She rotated the orb so that Black Diamond's eyes can directly stare at her.

"What...you brought...changes...everything"

"We sure hope so, my Lady. But there is also an interesting thing...have you noticed how "Twilight" looked at the small creature with deep emotions?"

"We did notice..." Black Diamond whispered.

"Well, Apparently that's her "son." from what My Acolyte said. She has a new off-spring...a Legacy Of Golden Diamond If I may add."

Black Diamond's pupil increased from Sorceress words, The Dark Apostle began to retreat back from Pearl.

"White Diamond...

Allows...

T hese...

Mutants...

TO EXIST!"

The sudden rage from Black Diamond made every Gem on command bridge to panic as their Diamond tantrums.

Her rage led the Orb to crack very quickly. But once it was completely broke into pieces. The entire bridge darkened and darkened before the Sorceress found herself in total darkness. The Sorceress turned around and flinched as Black Diamond's now fully formed figure stands right in front of her.

"SORCERESS..." Black Diamond extended her finger at Pearl.

BRING...

TWILIGHT...

TO...

US...

With the simple order. The Black Diamond's Shadow Figure then disappeared like a smoke thanks to the small breeze of air.

The Command Bridge immediately returned to the normal. Every Gem looking at everything in confusion.

"What just happened? Did I was poofed by Loyalist?" The Corrupted Ruby looks around on her chair.

"Magic of Our Diamond seems to be..." Another Peridot just shrugged and continued to work

The Dark Apostle came closer, putting her/his hands behind her/his back.

"I apologize for my master's little explanation but let me clear it out for you, Sorceress."

The Fallen Starchild gestured Sorceress to follow her to the window, where Yellow Diamond still patiently observes the fleets...since the meeting, This Corrupted Yellow Diamond never said a word.

"While our goals are to destroy the Diamond Authority and every Gem or Diamond who stands in our way. I heard your Legion tends to "Corrupt" them on our side."

"Indeed, Dark Apostle. Some Gems forgot that the Intelligence is the greatest weapon ever created and some wars can be won with the cunning set of mind." Pearl gently laughed.

"Which is why I give you the full responsibility to convert The Third Pink Diamond to our side, Sorceress."

"And the boy?"

"Take him to me as well...so that We could render his judgment..."

"Anything else?"

"Yes...there is one is an optional task I offer you. Yellow, give me the dossiers of those Diamonds we have..." The Dark Apostle turned to the Diamond.

The Corrupted Yellow Diamond without any word came back to them with three dossiers.

"We have three targets that have a great potential to be corrupted. The Two Diamonds: Current Yellow Diamond and Blue Diamond have been reported of drastic shift of loyalty towards our archnemesis. See what you can do to shift them to our side."

"And the third?"

"We have another possible candidate for Dark Apostle according to our spy on Homeworld. Her name is Grand Clarity White Diamond Of Axelon Dynasty." The Dark Apostle grabbed another dossier from Yellow Diamond's hands and handed it to Sorceress.

"Grand Clarity? So is this some kind of revenge for assuming your old title, Dark Apostle?" She chuckled

"I'm don't give a Clod of my False Tittle, Sorceress. This Starchild has been confirmed to doubt her Diamond a lot. So please, try to persuade her as well. Any questions?"

"No, Dark Apostle"

"Marvelous, Sorceress. Our Yellow Diamond also will join you. And we set our Black Legion on standby if your Legion will be in danger. Remember that direct conflict with Loyalist Gems might result...in another Long War."

"Yes, I will keep that in my mind."

"Then you're dismissed, Sorceress. May the Shadow of our Diamond guide you for glory.'

"I don't need her Glory, Apostle. My Knowledge is my great ally." The Sorceress Pearl left out the small chuckle before she unleashed the might of Tzeentch and warped herself with Yellow Diamond from command bridge.

The Dark Apostle tied his hands behind his back and returned for observing the fleet. he gave an admiring at the window, gazing at the stars looming.

"The Time Has Begun"

"The Army Darkness Are Ready Than Never Before."

And, so the Third Era Of Homeworld is approaching.

"An Era:"

"Of Second Black Corruption"
