(Earth ; Beach)
A giant tentacle monster was attacking Beach City.
Rose Quartz sliced it in half with her sword.
(POOF!)
"We did it, guys!" Rose said, landing on both feet.
There was no response.
"Guys?" Rose said, turning around.
Then Pink Zircon came out from behind Greg's van and carefully ran to her with his gun in his hand.
Rose turned her head and saw him.
"(Gasp!)" She gasped.
Pink Zircon pulled the trigger, and zapped her with a blue ring of 'stun.'
Rose fell to her knees, stunned.
Pink Zircon jump kicked her, failing as she held both of his legs in place.
She swung, and threw him to the sand, making him roll.
Rose regained her strength, and held her shield in defense position.
Pink Zircon summoned a swash buckler from his gemstone and prepared to hit her.
"White Diamond wants to see you, Pink." Pink Zircon said.
"Pink who?" Rose said.
"Pink Diamond, fat woman." Pink Zircon said.
"Fat?! Who are you calling fat, skinny?" Rose said.
Pink Zircon threw his sword at her, and made a run for his gun.
Rose then sliced at Pink Zircon, cutting him in half.
(POOF!)
"Ha!" Pink Zircon said, attacking from behind.
Rose got cut on her shoulder.
"Ow!" She said, before swinging her sword at him.
Pink Zircon blocked her sword attack.
The two began hitting swords, with Pink Zircon having advantage.
Rose then jumped up.
Pink Zircon threw the sword at her as she flew up.
He ran to the corrupted gemstone, and charged its power.
The gemstone glowed, and reformed the tentacle monster, but normal human size rather than being giant.
"TAKE HER DOWN!" Pink Zircon commanded.
The tentacle monster slithered at Rose, who then sliced it in half again.
(POOF!)
Pink Zircon shot his beam at her again, this time effectively stunning her body.
Rose fell to the sand, trembling in pain and paralysis.
Pink Zircon ran over to her, and pulled her hands behind her back.
"You've run away for far too long, my diamond. You should have known better than to play this silly game with the diamonds." Pink Zircon said.
"No!" Rose said.
"Your Crystal Gems are through! They're in pieces!" Pink Zircon said.
Rose gasped, saddened by the news of their sudden death.
"You lose." Pink Zircon said.
Then he arrested her, and brought her to his freighter.
(Navin 11)
Yellow Diamond was looking at the photos of her and Steve when they were together.
"Why would he do this to me?" She said.
Then the door slammed.
"Hey lemonhead! Come help me out here, will ya?!" Jarek said in the background.
Yellow Diamond, irritated by that name, went to the hallway to see him, holding a squirming guardian in his arms.
"Little help here?!" Jarek said.
"What did you do?! I thought you said he wasn't going to come back!" Yellow Diamond said.
"I managed to get him after all. I guess he had a change of heart about you, because he was crying when he called me." Jarek said.
"Crying? For what?" Yellow Diamond asked.
"He said the things he said about you weren't true and he really loves you. I got mad at him for making me go back and forth." Jarek said.
"Ohh." She said, holding it in her arms.
The guardian looked at her face with its eye.
"Did you really miss me?" She said.
It cuddled with her.
"Look away, Jarek!" She said to Jarek.
"I still need to bring him to the chamber. He has a minute left before he stops breathing." Jarek said.
"Then bring him there! He's suffocating!" Yellow Diamond said, rushing him into the hall.
"Well you wanted to give him hugs and kisses and shit!" Jarek said, rushing Steve to the lab.
(Containment Lab)
Jarek placed the guardian in the water tank, allowing him to breathe.
Goldstan was typing on the computer screen.
"The gemstone is being re-finalized. The guardian's essence is being transferred to the gem body." Goldstan said.
"Next time you do this, I will KILL you!" Yellow Diamond threatened Jarek.
Jarek pulled out his laser and held it to her chin.
"You wanna do this now? I have no problem doing it in front of my associate." Jarek said.
Yellow Diamond hesitated, looking down at his hand that was holding the gun.
"You need to learn to shut the fuck up. I'm not your pet, you're not my boss or my superior, and you certainly will not kill me. If anyone is dying, it'll be you." Jarek said.
"You have a lot of guts, telling me that!" Yellow Diamond said.
"I do, I am still half human, you fucking dummy." Jarek said.
She growled at him.
"Yeah, growl. You know I'm right!" Jarek said.
"Jarek, that's enough. Leave her alone." Goldstan said.
"Stay out of this, Goldstan. This has nothing to do with you." Jarek said, his focus remaining directed at Yellow Diamond.
"What is it that you have against me?!" Yellow Diamond said.
"Maybe your fucking mouth telling me all the mean things you've said?! And the fact that you tried to kill me more than once?! No more of that! You will lay off this instant!" Jarek said.
"Think about this before you do it! You're gonna shoot Yellow during the treaty? This isn't like you!" Goldstan said.
Jarek looked at him before looking at her.
"You want to live past this moment, you lay off with the bullying." Jarek said.
"What bullying?! All I said was what you did to Steve was wrong!" Yellow Diamond said.
"Before all that! You need to be a lot nicer." Jarek said.
"Fine! Even though I did nothing to you!" Yellow Diamond said.
Jarek pushed her, putting his gun away.
Yellow Diamond panted.
"I'm serious. There is only so much I will take, even from you." Jarek said.
"A wise decision." Goldstan said.
Yellow Diamond sighed through her nose.
"How long until Steve wakes up?!" She said to Goldstan.
"About two hours. The regeneration and finalization have to complete." Goldstan said.
Yellow Diamond glared at Jarek.
"I think now's the time to sit down and get over this horseshit!" Goldstan said to Jarek.
Jarek looked at him, appalled.
"I have been working for you for a very long time, and I have to admit : you've grown a lot from when I first met you. But this time, you're out of line. If I am to continue my services for you, you must be smarter! Yellow is obviously worried about her husband, and you're threatening her." Goldstan said.
"She hunted me down, and tried to murder me more than once." Jarek defended.
"That's besides the point. Killing a diamond isn't right. Especially since she's on our side now. So what I advise is you two sit down and talk like some civilized people." Goldstan said.
Jarek and Yellow Diamond looked at each other.
"Just a thought." Goldstan finished.
"He's right." Jarek said.
Yellow Diamond looked away.
"Perhaps we should put this all behind us." Jarek said.
"... fine with me." Yellow Diamond said.
"A wise decision. Wipe this slate clean. The threats, the chases, the fights, the conflict. Put it all to rest." Goldstan said.
Jarek nodded, agreeing.
"Steve, whatever happened with him." Goldstan said.
"Alright!" Jarek said to him.
Normally, Yellow Diamond would have gotten mad about Steve, but she bit her tongue this time.
"Yeah, whatever happened with him." Yellow Diamond said.
"I'm starving. I'm gonna go up and get something to eat." Jarek said, exiting the room.
Yellow Diamond watched Steve's inactive body float in the water.
"Will he be alright?" She asked.
"Yes." Goldstan said.
"Good." Yellow Diamond said.
