Defenders of the Universe Chapter 21: Beginnings, a Steven Universe + Voltron: Legendary Defender Crossover fanfic

It was a time long before the rise of the Galra Empire, back when it was known as the Empire of Daibazaal. It was one of the five most powerful factions in the known universe; alongside the Kingdoms of Altea, the Dalterion Dominion, the Mer Kingdoms of Nalquod, and the Rygnirathian Tribes. All were ruled by their respected rulers; Emperor Zarkon, King Alfor, Empress Trigel, King Blaytz, and Chieftain Gyrgan. A young King Alfor had sought to unite these factions together so they may prosper in harmony; defending not only their home galaxies but the entire universe from whatever may threaten it. This alliance lasted for many years, but it would all change on one fateful day.

[Clang!] [Clang!] [Clang!] [Clang!] [Clang!] [Clang!] [Clang!] [CLANG!] [SCHLINGK!]

"The Beasts of Mutradd are worthy of holding the title for the most feared creature in the universe." A young Alfor stated as he slew two more of the invading creatures with his broadsword. "But not even they are a match for our combined strengths."

Zarkon had called for the aid of his allies when the Mutraddi attacked one of his planets. The Mutraddi are large, four-legged creatures with six eyes that come in a diversity of shapes and sizes. Due to their simplistic, animal-like nature, most species believe them to just be "dumb animals," when in fact, they are smarter than they appear; discovering a way to traverse the stars and land on other planets without the need for a spaceship.

"Do not get cocky, Alfor." A young Zarkon told his ally as he slammed his mace on one of the Mutraddi's heads. "There are still more of them to deal with!"

"Well I say, BRING IT ON!" Gyrgan shouted as he swung his large, two-handed ax across the battlefield. Gyrgan was a large, humanoid bear-like creature that towered over Zarkon and Alfor and was garbed in tribal attire. "In the name of Willow, you shall fall!"

"Still overdramatic as ever; aren't you Gyrgan." Blaytz overconfidently stated as the merman smacked his spear against the heads of two beasts at once. While the mer-people of Nalquod choose to remain in the water; they can transform their fins into legs and walk around the surface. He had blue skin wore bright orange clothes that heavily contrasted it. But as the merman continued to brag; he was utterly unaware of the large Mutraddi that was about to crush him behind. Or, it would've it Trigel hadn't incapacitated it.

"And that's the seventh time I've saved your overconfident rear." Trigel politely, yet sarcastically said to Blaytz; who blushed in embarrassment. He hates it when she keeps track. Trigel was a tall, slender Dalterion; a subspecies of Olkari. She had all the similar features to a female Olkari with some slight differences around the head; like horns. Trigel was a pacifist and refused to use a weapon no matter the situation; but she makes up for it with her knowledge of pressure point combat, which instantly cripples an enemy.

"Stay focused everyone, and the battle will be ours!" Zarkon ordered as he leads the final charge against the invading Mutraddi.

After several more grueling hours of combat, the Beasts of Mutraddi were finally subdued. Under Alfor's request, the creatures where taken back to their home planet by Altean cruisers; where they'll hopefully stay away from the Alliance's space from now on.

"A toast, to our victory! And to our alliance!" Zarkon proudly shouted in the dining room of Castle Doom.

"Here, here!" All five Alliance leaders proudly shouted as they stood from their chairs to clink their wine glasses together with respect.

"And to our long-lasting friendship!" Alfor added in.

"Here, here!" The others said in unison as they all drank from their glasses.

Zarkon sat at the far end of the table; looking at his allies with glee. To the left of him was Alfor, who was sitting next to wife, Fala, his brother, Raimon, and his ever-loyal servant, Coran. Fala was a beautiful young woman with flowing silver hair and dressed in an elegant Altean dress. Raimon looked a lot like Alfor, though his skin tone was slightly lighter and was a bit shorter than his older brother.

Next to the Altean royal family was Gyrgan; who, after guzzling down his wine, proceeded to devour all the meat that was present on the table. A few years ago, Alfor, his family and Zarkon would be pointing out how much of a slob the Rygnirathian Chieftain was; but they don't seem to mind his eating habits anymore.

To the right of the Emperor of Daibazaal were Trigel and Blaytz. The Dalterion Olkari was cutting up her food with a fork and knife; eating the Galran cuisine slowly and respectfully. Blaytz, however, ignored his food completely and instead was flirting with the help; both male and female.

"Blaytz." Zarkon began. "Would you kindly not flirt with my servants; they have their discipline to uphold."

"Come now, Zarkon." Alfor spoke up. "Let Blaytz have his fun. And it wouldn't kill you to loosen up every now and then."

"The day I loosen up will be the same day you stop charging headfirst into battle," Zarkon replied with a chuckle.

"To be fair, I was handling the Mutraddi before you all arrive," Alfor said in his defense; only to get quiet snickers from everyone else at the table.

"I'm sure you did, Alfor." Trigel added in; taking a sip of wine before turning to Zarkon "But he does have a point, it's a celebration."

"I agree," Raimon added in, giving the Dalterion a flirtatious wink; one she just ignores.

Before the Galran Emperor could respond, the entire castle began to shake as a bright light zooms past the window. The dinner guests all stand up from their seats and rush to the window; spotting a comet heading directly towards the planet Daibazaal and crashing into its surface. "NO!" Zarkon cried out in fear for his people; before turning to two of his servants. "Prepare my shuttle; I am heading down to the surface!"

"Vrepit Sa!" The servants replied as they carried out their task.

"We'll go with you to make sure no one was injured." Alfor said as he along with the others follow Zarkon to the hangar.

The shuttle landed near where the comet crashed on the planet as Zarkon and the others stepped out. Some of the Galran Emperor's worries were put at ease since he knew this part Daibazaal was not inhabited by his people or wildlife. Waiting for him on the surface was a high-ranking Galran soldier and his squad, Zarkon recognized him amongst his Elite Guard; Commander Kolivan. "My Emperor!" The soldiers respectfully shouted with salutes.

"At ease," Zarkon told his troopers. "What is the situation?"

"The comet that crashed is a large one," Kolivan answered. "Larger than anything I've ever seen, my Emperor. It is also glowing, and it caused a similar glow to erupt from the ground."

"Take me to it," Zarkon ordered.

"With all due respect, my liege." Kolivan began. "I would advise against that; for all we know, the glow could be radioactive. Bringing you close to it could be dangerous. I suggest we wait for some scientists to arrive and…"

"I will see how dangerous it is for myself, Commander," Zarkon responded. "I'm ordering you to take me to it!"

"Yes, sir!" Kolivan replied as he and the other soldiers banged their chests; leading Zarkon to the comet. Trigel, Gyrgan, Blaytz, and Alfor; who requested that his family stay behind, follow Zarkon and his Galran soldier. Zarkon would prefer if his allies stayed behind for their safety, but he knew better than that would do so; if one of them is willing to put themselves in danger, they are all willing to put themselves in danger.

Upon drawing closer to the crater, all five galactic rulers looked down and saw the surprisingly mesmerizing comet. "By Willow," Gyrgan uttered.

"It's beautiful," Blaytz added in.

But that's not all they found to be excitingly thought-provoking; just being this near to the mysterious meteor made them all feel younger and stronger. Further research was now required; as this, in Alfor's own words, "may be the greatest scientific and magical discovery in millennia."

Time was not wasted in the study of the meteorite. The colossal space rock was moved off Daibazaal to a planet within the center of the five galaxies; where it can be reasonably examined by all the races of the Alliance. Two of the top scientist from each race was chosen for separate tasks; one group of five would investigate meteor, while the other group would study the strange cracks that it left on the surface of the Galran homeworld. Within a few short phoebs, a fully functioning research center was built around the crater.

"Is all of this security really necessary, Zarkon?" Alfor questioned his friend as two of them walked around the inside of the compound.

"You said it yourself Alfor, and I quote 'this may be the greatest scientific and magical discovery in millennia.'" Zarkon responded in a teasing impersonation of the Altean. "So, I feel it should be protected."

"Yes, yes, I know what I said." Alfor bashfully admitted. "I'm just concerned that having the camp set up as a quarantine zone may discourage the wonderful people who've volunteered for this project."

"This 'quarantine' is for the safety of my people," Zarkon stated. "After all these phoebs of having the comet, very little has been learned about it; where it came from, or how it created this energy that's leaking from my planet. If it poses a threat to Daibazaal, I must take the proper precautions to… AH, WHAT IS THAT THING!" Zarkon screamed in surprise as a furry, black creature with blue ears and orange stripes rubbed its back against the Galran Emperor's legs; letting out a happy purr while doing so.

[Meow.]

"How did this rodent get in here?" Zarkon questioned as he backed away from it; while Alfor chuckled with amusement.

"Kova, come here." A third voice ordered as the creature called Kova ran over to its owner; a young Altean woman. She had dark skin with ash-colored hair with red markings on her cheeks and golden eyes that appeared to glisten; she was garbed from neck to toe in scientific equipment and… and was the most beautiful thing Zarkon had ever seen in his life.

"I apologize, Emperor Zarkon." The woman sincerely said as she picked up Kova, holding the small creature in her arms. "Kova is very friendly; that was just his way of greeting you."

[Meow.]

"Oh… um… no worries… then." A flustered Zarkon said as he tried to cover up his embarrassment with a tough attitude. "I… I… don't think we've met."

"Then allow me to introduce you." Alfor stepped in. "This is one of Altea's best and brightest minds, Honerva of the Altean Science and Alchemy Guild."

"I look forward to working on this project." Honerva began, offering her hand out to the Galran Emperor. "I promise you, you shall gain favorable results."

"Well, I'm sure you will do well," Zarkon responded; shaking the woman's hand while trying to hide his blush. "If you'll excuse me, I have some… duties… yes, duties to take care of. Until next time." With that, Zarkon left the room; leaving a slightly confused Honerva and a smugly satisfied Alfor behind.

"He isn't very social, is he. Your grace." Honerva respectfully said her King.

"He may not look like it, but Zarkon is a good man," Alfor stated. "One of the best that I've had the privilege to know. I'm sure you'll get along just fine."

[Meow.]

"Yes, even with you too, Kova," Alfor told space cat.

Many deca-phoebs have passed since then, and further discoveries of the meteorite's origins were brought to light. The external radiation given off by the comet has life restoring potential; not only affect plant life but sentient races as well. Miracle energy that can rejuvenate those past their prime to their youth; returning the great strength they once held. A name needed to be given to it, and after several debates and votes; they chose the name, Quintessence.

With the new data from the breakthrough with the comet; all new, all different research was being applied to the crater, with a small amount of the space rock being taken to Daibazaal. Alfor, with permission from the rest of the alliance, transferred the rest of the meteor back to Altea; wishing to conduct an experiment that he believes can bring a new form of hope to the universe.

With the latest information and the small amount of meteorite, they were able to work with; Honerva and the other scientists and alchemists discovered that the comet came from another dimension. The cracks on the surface, are a part of a rift that was opened upon impact; a rift to where the comet originated from. Fitting with the energy the meteor gave off, this realm was dubbed, the Quintessence Field.

But scientific and magical discoveries that can change the entire fate of the universe was not the only thing that happened during those years. Whenever Honerva had an opportunity to leave the labs, and whenever Zarkon could take off from his duties; the two of them would sneak out to meet up with each other. Zarkon and Honerva brought out something in each other that neither knew they had and enjoyed feeling as well; soon enough, a relationship… a romance began to blossom. At first, the wished to keep it a secret; but they eventually revealed the truth to the others, who were all in support of their new-found happiness.

After one wedding that involved a mixture of Galran, Altean, Dalterion, Nalquodian, and Rygnirathian traditions that went as well as one would think; the Altean scientist and alchemist was officially made the Empress of Daibazaal's Empire. But these two weren't the only ones who've found love, Raimon found a wife of his own; who is now pregnant. And Alfor and Fala recently had a baby girl.

"Zarkon, Honerva." An older Alfor began. "I'd like you to meet our daughter and the future Queen of Altea, Allura." Within Fala's arms was a beautiful, healthy baby girl who looked around the interior of Zarkon's and Honerva's palace with interest; letting out giggles and other infant sounds. While a protective Coran stayed close to the Queen and Princess.

"We are both happy for you, old friend." An older Zarkon honestly said; presenting him with an embellished chest. "A gift for her." The Galran emperor opened it; revealing a Galran helmet, one commonly used by the highest-ranking warriors.

"I'm… sure she'll love it." Alfor said with an unsure expression; Zarkon meant well, but an artifact of war is not something one would typically get for a newborn. He wasn't even sure if it would fit her or not.

"We hope she does when she's old enough, my King." Honerva respectfully said with a bow.

"You don't have to do that anymore." The King of the Altean's assuredly told the woman. "Alfor will just do, Empress Honerva."

"And Honerva will just do." The Queen of the Galra replied. "I'm not one for royal titles."

"But Empress Honerva does have a strong sounding presence to it," Zarkon added in, making his wife blush a little bit; before turning his attention to Alfor. "I've meant to ask; how goes your project with the comet?"

"It's going quite well." Alfor modestly answered. "How goes the Quintessence Field study?"

"A great amount of progress and discovery is being made," Honerva stated. "There are still more experiments to conduct, but I think the Quintessence Field holds the key."

"The key to what," Alfor asked.

"Immortality," Honerva answered. "Think about it Alfor; not all unions last forever, but you, Zarkon and the others have a bond that has made this very alliance last longer than any other in recorded history. And it can live until the end of time with all of you."

"Honerva, you know how I feel about the concept of Eternal Life," Alfor stated. "There is death for a reason; cheating it could only bring misery. Besides, I'm living a life of happiness right now."

"You may eventually come around to it when the time is right," Honerva stated. "But for now, these are just speculations for…"

Before Honerva could continue with her theory; Kolivan entered the throne room with a look of worry on his face. "Emperor Zarkon, Empress Honerva, I have dire news!" Kolivan began. "Unidentified vessels have just entered Galra space and are making their way to Daibazaal!"

"What?" Zarkon said with disbelief. "Is there any holo-visuals?"

"Yes, my Emperor," Kolivan replied as he brings up a large holo-screen in the middle of the room; revealing an invasion force of vehicles shaped like giant green hands. All of which were led by two giant arms that dwarfed the other extraterrestrial vehicles, even Galran Dreadnaughts; a blue left arm, and a yellow right arm. On the sides of the ships was there insignia, a circular symbol of three diamonds; a white one on top, a yellow one to the left, and a blue one to the right. Zarkon and Alfor have heard legends about powerful beings who've destroyed countless planets; with those three diamonds being their symbol. These were the Gems of the Great Diamond Authority.

"Kolivan, order all available Dreadnaughts to form a perimeter around Daibazaal, and contact our allies!" Zarkon ordered. "I shall join you shortly for the battle."

"Wait, Zarkon," Alfor spoke up. "If this is the Great Diamond Authority, your Dreadnaughts won't stand a chance."

"Then what do you suggest I do Afor?" Zarkon asked his friend.

"Come with me to Altea, I have something that will give all of us the advantage," Alfor stated. "The Authority isn't likely to stop after Daibazaal; every planet in our alliance is in danger."

After a moment to think it over, Zarkon gave Alfor his answer. "Fine, take me to Altea; but we must hurry. Kolivan, change of plans; you are to lead the defense of our planet until I return!"

"Vrepit Sa!" Kolivan respectfully shouted as he left to carry out his Emperor's command.

"Be careful, my love," Honvera said to Zarkon; giving him a goodbye kiss as the husband and wife part ways for now. "I need to get to my lab; too much important information remains there," Honerva says lastly as she leaves.

"Raimon, I need you to keep as many people safe from the battle as you can," Alfor told his brother.

"I'll keep them safe, Alfor. Gods speed." Raimon responded with an affirming nod as he helped get his wife, sister-in-law and niece somewhere safe; with help from and Coran.

Yellow Diamond sat in her command chair, with her pearl still by her side; just wanting to get this over with so she can go back colonizing worlds. This younger Yellow Diamond had her long hair done-up into a bun; while her attire was still intimidating, it was far softer and regal looking.

White Diamond had ordered Blue and herself to this planet Daibazaal to retrieve something of grand importance to the Authority; the "ore." Yellow knew what the "ore" was for; but she didn't understand why White wanted another one, especially when she already has Yellow and Blue… but the lesser Diamonds knew better than to question their grand leader. The one above all; may her reign last for many more centuries.

A holo-screen appears next to Yellow Diamond as Blue Diamond's transmission stabilizes. "Yellow, I'm receiving reports of activity going on near the planet." Blue Diamond replied in a confident tone. This young Blue Diamond's attire was royally beautiful, as the darker, midnight blues complemented her light blue complexion and snow-white hair.

"What kind of activity?" Yellow asked.

"From the looks of it, battleships." Blue answered.

"Ha! They think they can stop us." Yellow Diamond chuckled. "Very well, tell your fleet to get ready, Blue; let us humor them for the time being."

Yellow Diamond deactivates her communication and turns to the Gems on her bridge. "Commandant Hessonite!" The monarch shouted, garnering the attention of a tall Gem; who rushes over to her master.

"You summoned me, my Diamond." Hessonite began with a salute that was both respectful and flamboyant at the same time.

Hessonite is a tall Gem with an orange complexion and pale-yellow hair done up in a curly afro. She has light yellow eyes with her left one being covered by a vermillion monocle. He militant attire consisted of a high-collared cape over and red bodysuit with thigh-high white boots and elbow-length gloves of the same color. Her gemstone is located within the center of her chest and has a rectangular design. Yellow did not care for the Commandant's showy nature, but she tolerates it for nothing else than the fact that the garnet does her job well.

"Gather a squad of soldiers and head to the surface of the planet." Yellow Diamond ordered. "We'll deal with the organics; just retrieve what we came here for."

"It shall be done, my Diamond," Hessonite said with a smug bow and giving Yellow Pearl a flirty wink; before leaving to carry out her task.

Once Hessonite left the bridge, Yellow Diamond stood up from her chair; extending her left arm out and pointing her finger forward. "All ships prepare for battle, we are engaging the enemy!"

The Diamond Authority invasion force draws closer to the planet with all their weapons and defenses primed. The Galran Dreadnaughts begin firing their primary and secondary weapons at the invaders.

[KABLOOOOOOOOM!] [KABLOOOOOOOOM!] [KABLOOOOOOOOM!] [KABLOOOOOOOOM!] [KABLOOOOOOOOM!] [KABLOOOOOOOOM!] [KABLOOOOOOOOM!] [KABLOOOOOOOOM!] [KABLOOOOOOOOM!] [KABLOOOOOOOOM!] [KABLOOOOOOOOM!] [KABLOOOOOOOOM!] [KABLOOOOOOOOM!] [KABLOOOOOOOOM!] [KABLOOOOOOOOM!] [KABLOOOOOOOOM!] [KABLOOOOOOOOM!] [KABLOOOOOOOOM!] [KABLOOOOOOOOM!] [KABLOOOOOOOOM!] [KABLOOOOOOOOM!] [KABLOOOOOOOOM!] [KABLOOOOOOOOM!] [KABLOOOOOOOOM!]

The attacks landed; but while the enemy ships did suffer some damage, it was nothing too severe. The large green hand-ships began to change their shape into finger-guns; pointing directly at Galran vessels and firing.

[GACHOOOOOOOON!] [GACHOOOOOOOON!] [GACHOOOOOOOON [GACHOOOOOOOON!] [GACHOOOOOOOON!] [GACHOOOOOOOON!] [GACHOOOOOOOON!] [GACHOOOOOOOON!] [GACHOOOOOOOON!] [GACHOOOOOOOON!] [GACHOOOOOOOON!] [GACHOOOOOOOON!] [GACHOOOOOOOON!] [GACHOOOOOOOON!] [GACHOOOOOOOON!] [GACHOOOOOOOON!] [GACHOOOOOOOON!] [GACHOOOOOOOON!] [GACHOOOOOOOON!] [GACHOOOOOOOON!] [GACHOOOOOOOON!] [GACHOOOOOOOON!] [GACHOOOOOOOON!] [GACHOOOOOOOON!]

The Galran Dreadnaughts survived the attack but suffered far more damage than the Diamond Authority's ships. Both vehicles release their fighters; Ertos and Djalgs taking flight from the hangars of the Dreadnaughts, while Destiny Destroyers and Sun Incinerators emerged from the arm and hand ships.

All intergalactic vehicle types entered a massive dogfight with each other; one that could be seen from the surface of Daibazaal as the inhabitants prayed that the conflict would end soon.

[Pshew!] [Pshew!] [Pshew!] [Pshew!] [Pshew!] [Pshew!] [Pshew!] [Pshew!] [Pshew!] [Pshew!] [Pshew!] [Pshew!] [Pshew!] [Pshew!] [Pshew!] [Pshew!] [Pshew!] [Pshew!] [Pshew!] [Pshew!] [Pshew!] [Pshew!] [Pshew!] [Pshew!] [Pshew!] [Pshew!] [Pshew!] [Pshew!] [Pshew!] [Pshew!] [Pshew!] [Pshew!] [Pshew!] [Pshew!] [Pshew!] [Pshew!] [Pshew!] [Pshew!] [Pshew!] [Pshew!]

[Gachoon!] [Gachoon!] [Gachoon!] [Gachoon!] [Gachoon!] [Gachoon!] [Gachoon!] [Gachoon!] [Gachoon!] [Gachoon!] [Gachoon!] [Gachoon!] [Gachoon!] [Gachoon!] [Gachoon!] [Gachoon!] [Gachoon!] [Gachoon!] [Gachoon!] [Gachoon!] [Gachoon!] [Gachoon!] [Gachoon!] [Gachoon!] [Gachoon!] [Gachoon!] [Gachoon!] [Gachoon!] [Gachoon!] [Gachoon!] [Gachoon!] [Gachoon!]

As for the ships that were being destroyed in battle; the Galran Djalgs and Ertos flew circles around the more massive and bulkier Gem ships. Currently, giving the Galra the advantage when it comes enemy casualties. However, this was invasion force by the Diamond Authority; which meant they had more numbers, higher defenses, and greater firepower. For every single Gem fighter destroyed; triple the amount of Galran fighters were blasted to nothing. The amount of death and destruction wasn't even counting the firepower the larger vessels were unleashing on each other.

[GACHOOOOOOOON!] [GACHOOOOOOOON!] [GACHOOOOOOOON!] [GACHOOOOOOOON!] [GACHOOOOOOOON!] [GACHOOOOOOOON!] [GACHOOOOOOOON!] [GACHOOOOOOOON!] [GACHOOOOOOOON!] [GACHOOOOOOOON!] [GACHOOOOOOOON!] [GACHOOOOOOOON!] [GACHOOOOOOOON!] [GACHOOOOOOOON!] [GACHOOOOOOOON!] [GACHOOOOOOOON!] [GACHOOOOOOOON!] [GACHOOOOOOOON!] [GACHOOOOOOOON!] [GACHOOOOOOOON!] [GACHOOOOOOOON!] [GACHOOOOOOOON!] [GACHOOOOOOOON!] [GACHOOOOOOOON!]

The Galra were on the defensive as their very own planet was on the line and did whatever it took to ensure its safety. The Gems, however, seemed to have no concern for their very own warriors and did whatever it took to inflict damage onto their opponents.

"Commander Kolivan." A Galra soldier began over the comms. "Several Devastation Cannons are primed, and ready to fire on your command."

"Do it!" Kolivan ordered over the comms.

Red energy begins to build up in front of several Galra Dreadnaughts as they fired forth destructive rays of dark red energy at Authority ships.

[KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!] [KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!] [KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!] [KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!] [KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!] [KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!] [KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!]

The Devastation Cannons delivered the most damage to the larger enemy ships; destroying a small amount of the invasion force with ease.

The Galra celebrated their achievement of delivering a destructive blow to the infamous Diamond Authority. "Direct hits sir!" The Galra soldier excitedly informed.

"Do not get overconfident soldiers." Kolivan stated. "This battle is far from over."

"Status report!" Yellow Diamond demanded.

"We've lost several of our assault ships, my Diamond." A cyclopean Gem informed.

"I see they are not pushovers." Yellow Diamond replied as she sat back on her throne; with two, grip-like devices rising from the arms. Yellow Diamond grasped the handles as the gemstone on her chest began to glow, and electricity surrounded her body. Yellow sensed a buildup of energy coming from her sister's ship as well and knew she was doing the same.

The yellow and blue arm ships began to change their shape into finger-guns like the green hand-ships and pointed directly at Galran vessels with energies of the same color building up in the fingertips. "The power of the Diamond Authority courses through us, and they shall bear witness to our TRUE POWER!" Yellow Diamond roared as the arm-ships continued absorbing the power of the Diamond's; channeling it and firing the destructive force!

[GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACCHHHHHHHHHHGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNN!][GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACCHHHHHHHHHHGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNN!]

The blasts from the arm-ships were magnitudes more extensive than the Devastation Cannons and were far more effective; as they destroyed twice the amount of larger ships.

The once cheering Galra looked on in shock as a vast majority of their Dreadnaughts were reduced to nothing. Commander Kolivan was in equal shock as the others, and understood how the Diamond Authority has remained unopposed for so long; there's virtually nothing in the universe that can stand up to them. But even though this is an uphill battle; one they are like to return from, Kolivan remained strong as he ordered a return fire. There's nothing that motivates a soldier than having everything to lose.
