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.
(Caros, takes place between 'Tiger Philanthropist' and 'Room for Ruby'.)
Silver wasn't joking when he meant that his court could be too energetic, Blue knew that now.
The moment she and her court arrived in system via the Consular and the fleet of warships and dropships she processed, she was already being celebrated.
Silver and a squad of Citrine guards and both his Pearl, his Sapphires and a squad of Nephrites.
Blue Diamond looked around, there were pretty much every Gem in Homeworld's history.
Bismuths, Lapis Lazuli, a few Hessonites, an Emerald, Peridots, dozens of Quartz and Rubies, a few Agates, a Zircon and a few other gems.
"Told you this would happen."
Silver said with a smirk under his mask and cloak, Blue and her Pearl walked past the cheering Gems before Silver held up his hand.
"Ok, that's enough, just because 2 Diamonds are here doesn't mean you should worship the ground we walk on…. Actually, don't do that in general…."
Silver said as Blue and her Pearl made their way to Silver as all of Silver's Gems made the Diamond salute, Silver wondered how many Gems he would have if the Era 2 state of Homeworld had reached his colonies…
Silver wondered if all the Gems under his rule were still present… Hed have Emerald check that out.
"Silver…. The Moonbase?"
Blue asked as Silver nodded, he snapped his fingers and the signal to one of his Hessonites and her group of Peridots were given.
"Thank you."
Silver said to his Gems, he smiled and they bowed before moving to do their Diamond's work.
"I am not a forceful Diamond… Nor am I a controlling Diamond…"
Silver said as the Warp Pad was powered up, instead of the usual 'That will be all', Silver smiled at the Hessonite and her Peridots.
"Thank you kindly for your work, Andradite… And you too, Chrysolite, your team never lets me down."
Silver said and the Gems smiled and bowed before moving out of the way as the two Diamonds and their Pearls steppe don the pad.
"You know them?"
Blue asked, Silver smiled once more and nodded at this as they were transported to the Moonbase.
"I memorize any Gem Names or nicknames my Gems have, Blue…. Chrysolite is the top Peridot in my court and in charge of most other Peridots and engineering in my Court… Unless its… I forgot what Chrysolite called the head Bismuth…. Blast it."
Silver said as they reached the Moonbase, there was an Agate awaiting them, Silver cocked his head to the side in confusion.
He had left a Nephrite… His most trusted Nephrite, Jade to watch the Moonbase.
"Agate, where is Jade?"
Silver asked, he grunted in annoyance at using their Gem type and not their Name but he was curious.
"Nephrite Faucet 267- Geho 14 left to Homeworld aboard the Supernova 1 hour ago, my Diamond."
The Agate said and Silver huffed at this.
"Always doing something without me… And she's supposed to be in charge of Caros along with Trapiche and her staff... Ok, is the viewing oculus and the command deck ready?"
Silver asked, one of his Inner Circle wasn't here when he needed her and he was left to handle things himself.
Then again, he always had to at times.
"Yes, my Diamond, she made she it was prepared before she left…."
The Agate said as Silver nodded and they walked past the Gem, Silver was a bit annoyed by how the Agate announced Jade's name… Jade was higher in rank then the Agate….
"Jade?"
Blue Pearl asked as they boarded a lift, Silver Pearl decided to answer for her Diamond.
"Silver Diamond's naval commander… Before Emerald, she was in charge of the naval forces for his fleet… And she was the commander of the Supernova, the Warship that led the dropships here… the Same warship Silver Diamond himself used to get here… She was placed in charge of the Moonbase before Silver left for Homeworld over 5000 years ago."
Silver Pearl explained while Silver grunted as the lift opened.
"Least she could have done is told me…. Then again, the Iridescent is so new she probably didn't even know about it… Anyway, this is the viewing oculus… Just like with Pink…. I can see everything throughout the galaxy from here…"
Silver said, unlike the Moonbase with Pink, this one looked like it was made of metal and stone.
"My Diamond…. Yellow Diamond is calling."
Silver Pearl said, there was a bite to her voice as if she despised Yellow as much as her Diamond did.
"Please get it, Pearl…. Blue, I looked through the oculus prior to your arrival…. I've… seen things on Earth…"
Silver said, he wanted Blue to look through the oculus as well, he had brought them up here to talk.
"What did you see?"
Blue asked, Silver raised an eyebrow, he had thought Blue would want to look first.
"There are still Crystal Gems on Earth…. Though I guess Yellow didn't tell you…. Only a handful…. As for Pink…. I don't know much yet… But I don't think we should just point out conclusions yet."
Silver said before Blue picked him up, Silver put his hands on hers and looked into her eyes.
"Blue… Be calm."
Silver said as his visor vanished and he pulled back his hood before looking back at her and returning his hands to her.
"I am not saying Rose didn't shatter Pink…. I'm saying I want to know wat happened to her… And that means another trip to Earth…"
Silver said as Blue nodded, Silver was dropped and he turned back to the window.
"One of my Sapphires predicted much…. What they saw… Bothers me…"
Silver said as Blue raised an eyebrow at Silver, he was about to speak when Silver Pearl came into the room with a Diamond communicator.
"And why are you answering, if this call was to Silver Diamond, then he should be answering himself."
Yellow Pearl said, Silver grunted and ripped the communicator out of Silver Pearl's hands while giving her an apologetic look.
"I'm right here, Pearl…. And you have no right to be barking protocol to my Pearl if you're doing the same thing…. Your just like Yellow."
Silver hissed, the Yellow Pearl yipped and turned the channel to Yellow Diamond.
"Blue, where are you, you were supposed to be here an hour ago!"
Yellow yelled, Silver smirked and chuckled.
"You never said how she had to be there, Yellow… And cutting me out of a Diamond meeting? I'm hurt…."
Silver stated, Yellow's fury was priceless as she scowled at Silver while Blue raised him to her face so they could all talk.
"Silver… I should have known you'd do this… Where is Blue Diamond?"
Yellow asked as Silver merely tilted the communicator so she could see her.
"My Moonbase…"
Silver said as Blue sighed, they were arguing again… Or competing.
"I wanted to talk about Rose Quartz…. I don't think she's dead, the Cluster hasn't formed yet… And I've lost contact with Jasper."
Silver heard from Yellow, he smirked at this.
"So… There's still time?"
Blue asked, Silver nodded and turned to Yellow.
"So, another mess I have to clean up from you, Yellow…. If that's the case, then I call for an Imperial Trial, Rose should face us for her crimes on Earth."
Silver said as Yellow smirked, she could outmaneuver Silver here.
"You can't call for Imperial Trial without the vote of the Diamonds… Without other votes."
Yellow said as Silver was about to answer before Blue spoke up.
"I wish to call for trial as well…"
Blue said as Yellow was shocked at this, without Blue's support….
"Why? We should just destroy Earth again and be done with it!"
Silver heard from Yellow before Blue spoke up, her voice held power to it under the sadness.
"If Rose Quartz still isn't shattered, then she should face us… As Overseer of Diplomatic services on Homeworld and throughout the Gem Empire…. I call for it, as much as I wish to shatter Rose Quartz myself, she should at least be held on trial…."
Blue said as Silver smirked, Yellow had just lost an argument to him and Blue, it wouldn't make her look good in front of her subjects.
"That's 2 to 1, Yellow… Majority vote, Rose Quartz will stand trial for her actions first…"
Silver said with a smirk, Yellow seethed at this, Silver would pay, she wouldn't allow him to get away with this.
"Your pay for this, Silver…"
She hissed as Silver yawned and looked at his Pearl.
"The only thing that is paying is my time, Yellow… Now, me and Blue have business to handle… If you would like to send more Gem soldiers to Earth to go rouge and have to explain this at court… Be my guest… Good day."
Silver said, as he closed the connection, Yellow smashed something… Something important sounding.
"Arrogant…. Always a pleasure to talk to her."
Silver said with a smirk as he tossed the Communicator to Silver Pearl who took the communicator away.
"Was that part of Sapphire's vision?"
Blue asked, Silver nodded and walked to the window of the Moonbase.
"A few things… One was the trial… They didn't foresee the ending of the trial…. Next was the idea to go to Earth…. Which you and Yellow did…."
Silver started to explain, he didn't want to reveal the last thing but he knew he should.
"The last?"
Blue asked, Silver nodded and sighed and looked down.
"White… Something about White…"
Silver said and both Diamonds were silent, they knew White could kill them both if she wanted to, she was the first Diamond, the oldest.
The strongest… the Empress of Homeworld and the Gem Empire.
"There is a lot I don't want to talk about… But all of it is about White… I don't want to find out about her…"
Silver said and frowned, he didn't want to talk about White and frowned in annoyance.
"We should talk more on Homeworld… We have to prepare for the trial, that means we have to talk about coming to Earth…."
Silver stated, he wanted to be annoyed, but he wasn't… Things were just off… Something he had to check on, Yellow would send a Gem to retrieve Steven, Blue would do the same… That meant Silver should find his own Gem to get Steven.
Three came to mind, Emerald, Andradite… Or Jade…. He somehow knew which one he would pick.
Silver made a motion with his hand and the Iridescent rose until it docked with the Moonbase, the Consular did the same at Blue's command.
"Pearl… Make sure to bring the entire court to the capital… Its where I will be when we reach Homeworld."
Silver said, he hadn't visited the capital in eons… he would be surprised to find out how it had been when he returned.
"See you on Homeworld, Blue."
Silver said, he and his Pearl boarded the Iridescent and the Warship was gone a second later as it vanished.
"My Diamond, he's right… We have to prepare for the trial…. We should depart…"
Blue Pearl said before Blue nodded and she smiled and boarded the Consular as the Warship vanished.
If Blue had stayed a minute longer, she would have noticed the mass exodus of Warships and Dropships leaving Homeworld.
Many things would be coming to Homeworld… Many changes.
