Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Perfect but Fractured. Enjoy the 1100-word chapter. I don't own Steven Universe, Rebecca Sugar and Cartoon Network do.

(Homeworld, 'The Trial'.)

Silver sat on his throne between he and Yellow and Blue, it was official, Blue was his favorite of the Quartet of Diamonds.

"I want Rose Quartz captured, Jade…. I know your get the job."

Silver said over his communicator, he had picked Jade and her troops to capture Steven, Hessonite had been assigned to oversee security for the trial and Emerald was in charge of his fleet in orbit.

"I'll see it to the end, My Diamond."

Jade said, she was so much different then how she normally was, Silver nodded and cut the connection, returning the communicator to the chair of his throne.

"You sent a Nephrite to capture Rose Quartz? Out of all Gems?"

Yellow asked, Silver turned and looked at her with venom, their relationship was nothing like siblings… He disliked Yellow half as much as he did White.

"Well, I would have sent Jasper but… Oh, that's right… Earth…. You should never have sent troops to Earth if the Cluster was sent to Earth…"

Silver said, he took happiness in the fact that he had helped defeat Jasper… But Yellow didn't need to know that.

"I am sorry to ask this, Blue… But who is Aquamarine? I've categorized just about every gem… But Aquamarines are new to me…"

Silver said as he tapped his fingers together, he wished he could tell Steven… But that would give much away….

Just because Silver had returned to Homeworld didn't mean he had forgotten his friends.

But telling Steven would give away his former connection to them… And he couldn't risk that.

Besides, if one of them did destroy Pink… Silver wouldn't be happy.

"Why three Zircons?"

Blue asked, Silver turned, he would answer her question and she would answer his he hoped.

"Mine is supposed to be a Cross examiner… Any evidence we have, she's supposed to look over…"

Silver stated as Blue hummed and nodded, Blue Zircon, her Zircon, was in charge of defending Rose.

Silver revealed to her one of the Gems was named 'Steven Universe'… Interesting.

Yellow muttered something and Silver turned to her.

"Something to add, Yellow? I thought you'd handle security… I had to bring my Citrines as security for the trial…"

Silver stated, Blue looked at the stars above Homeworld.

"This will be a very important day in 2 days…."

Silver started to say, this court only determined which Gems would be dispatched to get Steven… It was up to them once Steven was here to talk to him.

"If all business is concluded, then this court is over… We have to reconvene in 2 days for the Trial."

Silver said, they would have to come back after their troops captured Steven and transported him to Homeworld…

Something that bothered him a bit, but he couldn't let Yellow know he had a connection or even cared much for Steven.

"There is still matters to discuss… Like the issue of new Gem Colonies…."

Yellow said as Silver crossed his arms, from what his Pearl had gathered, Rose Quartz had ruined their supplies with her war.

"And how do you plan to gain worlds for colonization? Last I heard, Homeworld was low on supplies…. And we haven't been able to acquire more planets for Colonization since the Rebellion."

Silver said as he tapped his fingers together, Yellow was up to something… And Silver wished to know what it was.

"Your resources have been untapped for 5000 years, and we have the equipment to replicate it…"

Silver heard from Yellow as she smirked, Silver grunted in annoyance at this.

Yellow had some gall if she dared what Silver thought she was trying.

"Those resources belong to me, Yellow…. You will not take them from me…. If Homeworld needs them, I will give them…. But I will not deign to let you command what I have…. You tried that already at the battle of the Asteroid belt of Colony X6…. Where you tried to command my fleet…."

Silver hissed, that was before he had Emerald created, Jade had been his second in command in that battle…

"Silver…"

Blue said and Silver huffed, he couldn't argue with Blue, not when she had been so nice and caring to him over the past few weeks… Or Month?

Time confused him, nevertheless, he couldn't argue with her.

"Fine, I'll give the resources to Homeworld… But only because we need them… And at Blue's urging… Not because I care about what you want, Yellow…. You're not getting anything out of me after our last team up…"

Silver stated as Blue smiled, Silver turned and hid his blush under his hood and mask before he turned to his Pearl.

"Pearl, go wait for Rose Quartz at the landing bay…. And Blue, I heard Aquamarine is quiet…. Arrogant, for a simple bounty hunter."

Silver said as Blue nodded, Aquamarine wasn't her favorite Gem, but in Gem hierarchy, they were usually high-ranking Gems.

And Aquamarine didn't fail her missions, she had a reason to be arrogant… Not that Blue liked that about her at all.

"Yes… Aquamarine is quite confident in herself…. It quite taxing to deal with her…. But she doesn't fail missions often…"

Blue said and Silver nodded, at the least Steven would be brought to Homeworld without incident.

If it was Jade in charge of the mission, they'd already be halfway to Homeworld by now…

"Yes, I know how arrogant some Gems can be…. I'm glad Jade isn't like that…. Out of all my soldiers, my Nephrite Commander doesn't fail her missions, she will not fail this time…."

Silver said as he tapped his fingers together once more, he hoped this would end without incident.

"Yes, but Crystal Gems might be on Earth… If they are there, the Cluster will deal with them soon enough…."

Yellow said as Silver rolled his eyes, they didn't even have the Cluster and even Yellow would have to know this.

"Yes…. Soon this will all be over…."

Blue said as Silver crossed his arms, he didn't wish to lie to Blue… But for now, he had to.

Author Notes

Phew, another chapter done! For those wondering why this chapter is shorter? It was just supposed to be a filler chapter before the trial… As for the trial, it will be much different than the Episode… Next chapter will probably be on Sunday and will show the trial with Silver, Blue and Yellow talking to Steven, until then, Lighting Wolf out!
