(Homeworld)
Pink Zircon was walking to White Diamond's torso-head ship, holding Pink Diamond's gemstone in his hands.
Two Onyx guards were walking him there.
"Oh Zircon, you've done a great service for us."
He entered the ship.
(White Diamond's Throne Room)
"You're efforts will be rewarded. I will inform all of homeworld the return of Pink Diamond, and your success in bringing her home." White Diamond said.
"Thank you, my diamond." Pink Zircon said, as he then left the room.
White Diamond held the gemstone in her hand.
"Oh Pink.. you didn't really think you could run away from me, did you? You were going to lose either way, and now look at you, unable to do anything more. I wish you had been more to my expectations. Oh well, you can still be, what am I talking about?" White Diamond said, joyed with herself.
She shot her energy at the gemstone, corrupting and changing her light based glow.
Pink Diamond reformed instantly, as herself but entirely gray. Her arms rose up, forming a T-pose position of standing.
"Welcome back, Pink." White Diamond said. Pink Diamond's mouth also moved in sync as she said that.
Pink Diamond was now involuntarily under White Diamond's control.
(Outlands - Core)
Pink Zircon planted plastique charges on the core of the planet.
Many of White Diamond's gems were defeated, laying on the ground, unable to move.
"Is this really a good idea?!" Pink Hollic asked, also planting charges.
"This'll destroy Homeworld, it's guaranteed to work." Pink Zircon said.
"But White is gonna find us!" Pink Hollic said.
"No she won't. Now place the last charge so we can leave!" Pink Zircon said, placing his last plastique bomb.
Pink Hollic complied, and placed her plastique charge on the core surface.
The two fled the scene.
(Navin 11)
Jarek was washing some dishes, when he felt something.
"Emerald?" He said.
"Yes?" Emerald said, reading a newspaper at the dinner table.
"Come here." He said.
She put down her newspaper and walked to him.
"What?" She said.
He trembled.
"They're gone. They're all gone." Jarek said, horrified.
"Who?" Emerald asked.
"All of homeworld. They're all gone." Jarek said.
Red Diamond placed her hand on her mouth.
"No.." Purple Diamond said, looking at him with widened eyes.
"And I think I know who did it." Jarek said.
"Who?! Who would do this?!" Yellow Diamond said, putting down her laundry basket full of clean clothes.
".. It was of a Pink Gem. And he had Pink Diamond." Jarek said.
"That's impossible! She was shattered by a Rose Quartz!" Yellow Diamond said.
"Even you don't know? The theory was confirmed to be false throughout the galaxy, but I knew it was true all along. She is alive!" Jarek said.
Yellow Diamond gasped, as did Red Diamond and Blue Diamond.
"Oh my stars.. Pink.. my Pink is alive?" Blue Diamond said with tears forming in her eyes.
"Look, I'm done with the dishes here. I'm gonna go search for this gem before he gets away. He'd likely know where she is." Jarek said before fleeing.
"I'm going with!" Emerald said.
"Grab a plasma rifle." Jarek said.
"I don't believe this. Why would Pink fake her own death?" Yellow Diamond said, outraged.
"She did act strange when she was ruling the earth before we decimated all of the gems there." Blue Diamond said.
"Perhaps too strange." Yellow Diamond said.
"What did she say in particular?" Steven asked.
The two diamonds looked down at her, then at each other.
"She wanted to save the earth, and preserve life there. And I built a zoo for that, but I didn't listen. I feel awful." Blue Diamond said, covering her mouth again.
"Blue, stop crying. You're giving me a headache!" Yellow Diamond said, also tearing up from her power.
"Sorry." Blue Diamond said, sniffling and wiping her tears away.
"Jarek, wait! I wanna go!" Steven said, chasing after Jarek and Emerald.
"No! Steven, you get back here!" Red Diamond said, going after him.
"No, Steven. You're safer here than out there." Jarek said.
"But I swore to Blue Diamond that I would help her, no matter what!" Steven said.
Jarek looked at Red Diamond, who gave him a look of worry.
"Why not? It's about time you learned to defend yourself." Jarek said.
"What?! No! I'm objecting this decision!" Red Diamond said, trying to grab Steven.
"No! Red, stop. He needs to learn. What if a raid happens here? He's gonna need to fight somehow." Jarek said, holding her back as Steven ran to Emerald.
"He'll be perfectly safe with me!" Red Diamond said.
"No, he's gonna learn. He needs to. You made me learn." Jarek said.
"Forget that! He's my son!" Red Diamond said.
"Red, let him go. He's right. It's dangerous, yes, but Jarek is right." Blue Diamond said.
Red Diamond backed off, shoving Jarek.
She stormed away, upset.
"Let's go before this gem gets away." Jarek said.
The three left the diamonds in the room.
"Stop being so dramatic, Red! They're gonna be fine!" Yellow Diamond said.
"You don't know that! You just like to risk everything, don't you?!" Red Diamond said angrily as she walked to her.
"For 18 years, I chased you across the galaxy, until I finally found you. I risked everything when I did that." Yellow Diamond said.
"You shouldn't have followed me here. In fact, you should have just left me alone, it would have been a lot better that way." Red Diamond said.
"I only wanted to secure your gem! I was never going to hand you over to White." Yellow Diamond said.
"Bullshit." Red Diamond said.
"What's bullshit? The fact that White is the reason all this happened in the first place, or the fact that I risked my life for you and you're acting like a spoiled child?" Yellow Diamond said.
Red Diamond shook her head, and walked away.
"Yellow, that's enough." Blue Diamond said.
"She needs to know we weren't supposed to even be out here, and we are!" Yellow Diamond said.
"It doesn't matter anymore, Yellow. Homeworld, our home is gone. White is gone." Blue Diamond said.
"This was all for naught." Yellow Diamond said, sighing in sadness.
