A/N: Season 4 Finale.
Garnet and I didn't spend long searching for the Gems, because she we ended up separating. I looked around all of Beach City. "Where's Steven and Connie?" I asked angrily and felt myself ran into something. "Ow!" I yelled.
"Suha!" A familiar voice yelled and I looked up and saw Amethyst.
"Amethyst! Did you find the humans and Steven?! I've been looking for them everywhere!" I yelled.
"They're up there!" Pearl yelled running forward with Garnet. I looked up and saw a ship that had a wide, curve topped cone, which was either black or mostly dark brown in color. With two cyan triangles on top, with one pointed upwards and the other downwards.
"I've been looking for you all over the place!" A tiny gem yelled. She was a small, less than half the height of Steven and had cherubic appearance and a bright cyan blue complexion. With navy blue eyes, no nose, and chin length cerulean blue hair worn in a bobbed style. Her clothes looked like a prep school uniform, with a blue vest worn over a dark blue dress with a whtie color, white wrist length gloves, white knee high socks and dark blue flat shoes. With a dark blue bow was just turned into a wand.
Her intersection of her vest and the lapels of her collar formed a Blue Diamond symbol with a teardrop shaped gemstone located beneath her left eye, and her water wings were similar to that of butterfly wings. She looked like a mixture between a pixie or fairy. I felt a my eyes narrow as she lifted me up with her wand, a light blue light in the shape of a sphere formed around me.
"Suha!" The Gems yelled. I felt a sting from my memory.
"What does an Era 2 want with me?" I asked her.
"Just so you know, I was sent on an important mission to receive you by Yellow and Blue Diamond. These humans are of no use to me, but for some reason you seem to be of interest. Though you don't seem important to me." The Gem said.
"Aquamarine let her go!" Garnet yelled.
Aquamarine gave her a raspberry and flew up into the ship dropped Suha on the ground.
"Suha!" Steven yelled. The inside of the ship had a big, cyan blue screen along with a captain's chair on a floating platform for Aquamarine to sit on. The entire ceiling had a sky view, which didn't appear on the outside of the ship.
There was a large gem that had gemstones on both sides of her head, which showed that she was a fusion. Her components were identical albeit shorter (roughly half the size), one with her gemstone on the left side of her head, and the other with her gemstone on her right. She had light yellow hair in a short, flat top-like fashion, yellow shin and a tinted orange visor that covered her eyes and the sides of her head. Her eyes appeared to be brown, though it is unclear due to the orange tint of her visor. Her outfit consisted of a maroon vest with Yellow Diamond's insignia, a mahogany top underneath, and dark brown bottoms that cover her feet. She had a large, broad, and muscular build with relatively short legs and large, powerful arms. She had a square head and chin with a strong and boxy jawline.
"Let's get back to Homeworld already." Aquamarine sighed.
"But I'm already on my home world. I haven't even delivered all the mail today." Jamie the mailman said.
"Don't worry. I can do this." Steven said and Sadie, Lars and Connie began to muffle shouts of panic and anger.
"Do you want me to help you Steven?" I asked him.
"Suha why aren't you freaking out?!" Steven yelled angrily.
"I just have a feeling… that I need to be here." I told him. "I feel like my memories are coming back, with these new powers and everything keeps changing. I feel like I need to be here. But I can help you if you want me to."
I stood up and moved toward the large fusion with my gem glowing black.
"No I can do it!" Steven yelled.
"Ohh! You might want to hurry, Steven. The threat of us perishing in this quagmire of yellow feels very real; a real encompassing kind of real. A neon death trap, which has imprisoned us so tightly, like a winter coat that's too big in the sleeves." Jamie said as Lars flailed his hand in Steven's face in anger, his eyes almost red.
"Lars, stop! I need to concentrate!" Seven yelled.
"Ughh. If I never get sent on another mission to Earth, it'll be too soon. What an ordeal. But the Diamonds needed me. That's the burden of being the best." Aquamarine said, arrogance in her voice.
"What justice is there in such a gross tangling of symbols?!" Jamie yelled dramatically.
"Will you stop?! You're ruining my moment!" Jaime yelled.
"Steven…" Jaime whimpered, as he cowered back.
"I almost got it!" Steven grunts and Jaime makes a noise of confusion as the large gem starts to sweat and expand like a balloon. Eventually she popped, and separated back into two. Steven had successfully summoned his bubble shield and they scream as they are freed.
"What?! Topaz! Get this mess cleaned up. And, Topaz, help her out. I'm setting a course." Aquamarine yelled angrily at the two gems.
"The door! Huh?" One Topaz approached Steven and summoned her mace from her gem and swung it at Steven and I push my hand out and watch as the mace turns gray and falls to the floor. Topaz cowered away from her.
"Lars! Lars?!" Sadie yelled as Aquamarine came flew forward towards me and aimed her wand at me, it flicked in and out from gray to blue,
"What are you?!" Aquamarine yelled. "I was told you were dangerous! But no one said you could do this!"
"Sorry Aquamarine, my powers are just as confusing for you as they are for me." I said and grabbed her water wing only for her to slam her gravity wand right towards me making me slam into the wall.
"Take that you off-color!" Aquamarine yelled. I felt heat raise to my face and the shadows glow darker, that insult...
"I'm not off-colored!" I yelled at her and a large black shine shun over the spaceship and the colors from the gems faded and the cowered in their place. Steven's colors faded in and out and he collapsed on the ground. I felt the pain in my head heighten but I held my shaking hands in place. The room seemed to fade in and out and I closed my eyes for a second and reopened them. I was in a dark room, without a centimeter of light.
'Carbonado.' A familiar voice said. 'You're really leaving?'
'Of course I am.' I said. 'They've gone too far this time.'
'You mean the rumors of that bright light that the Diamonds shun on Earth?' She said.
'Of course.' I said, my voice seemed empty. I clutched my head in pain and closed my eyes. 'The voices won't go away.'
'That's only because you absorb their light.' She said.
'I know, it makes me weak. An 'off-color'.' I said angrily. 'Yet White is allowed to reflect all of her light, even though she has a pink, Blue absorbs warm light, Yellow only absorbs Blue. Neither of them bother with me.'
'I don't think it's weakness.' She says and takes a seat beside me.
'You wouldn't.' I said with a faint smile on my face.
'You won't find her.' She said and my smile disappeared.
'Yes I will.' I told her. 'She gave me a chance one before, now I'm taking it.'
'You're going to Earth. You're going to forget and run away from your problems here.' She said.
'I'm not needed anywhere else.' I said.
'You're needed here, with me… If you leave, they'll be even worse… especially since Pink is gone.' She said.
'She's not gone.' I said.
'You can't keep denying the truth!' She yelled at me and I ignored her and stood up and my gem shun in the darkness. 'If you leave now! I'll be shattered!'
'You were never mine to begin with.' I told her and placed a hand on her head. 'You never even called me by my real name.'
'You'll make me forget?' She asked me, her light shun the opposite of mine.
'That way they won't hurt you.' I told her.
'Goodbye… my Diamond.' She said to me and I laughed.
'I'm not yours.' Her white gem flashed black and then white, her original color. Then finally, to grey and there was a loud poof. 'Goodbye… White Pearl.' I felt a tear run down my face, and placed the grey gem on the ground. 'Forgive me.'
I opened my eyes and saw Onion run out of the door and plunged into the ocean.
"Uhh, go! Go." Steven yelled.
"Steven, I-I seem to be paralyzed with fear. Whoa!" Jaime yelled as Steven lifted him up and threw him overboard with Sadie and Connie jumping after him. Aquamarine fired her tractor beam, and halted Jamie, Sadie, Connie, Onion, and Alexandrite in their tracks.
"Nice try. But it's hopeless, "my dad". I can't go back to Homeworld without getting what the Diamonds want." Aquamarine said angrily and Steven glanced down at his friends in peril.
"I'm… not my dad." Steven said.
"What?!" Aquamarine yelled.
"I'm not my dad!" Steven repeated with more certainty in his voice.
"How much longer is this mission going to take?" Aquamarine groaned.
"Well, I can end it for you, right now." Steven said and looked at her.
"Oh, really?" Aquamarine said intrigued.
"I'm someone the Diamonds will want more than any of these humans: the leader of the Crystal Gem rebellion; the Gem that shattered Pink Diamond. I'm not my dad. I'm my mom." Steven said and lifted up his shirt. "I'm Rose Quartz!"
"No way." Aquamarine gasped and retracted her tractor beam, which caused Alexandrite to unfuse and everyone to drop into the ocean.
"Steven?" Connie said nervously.
"No, don't! Steven!" Pearl yelled.
"What are you doing?!" Amethyst yelled.
"I get it now. I'm the only one who can stop what she started. I can stop all of it!" Steven yelled.
"You're wrong! Steven, get down here!" Garnet yelled back.
"She wouldn't have wanted this. But I do." Steven said.
"I'm gonna kick your butt if you don't come down here right now!" Amethyst said, her voice breaking. Steven turned and walked back into the ship.
"Steven…." Pearl said with tears trailing down her face as she covered her mouth.
"No! Don't you dare!" Connie yelled.
"I love you." Steven said.
"No! Stooop!" Connie yelled and the door of the ship closed and blasted off into the evening sky, I could hear Connie scream out Steven's name as we locked eyes.
"I think I understand… It's meant to be this way… I need answers." Steven said and I looked down at him gem and touched my own.
"And what will you do…. when you get them." I asked him. "Even if they're difficult… frustrating… heartbreaking and hard to understand."
"Change the future." Steven said.
"I hope you're ready." I told him and he frowned.
"By the way Suha, you changed again." Steven said and I nodded.
"Yeah I know." I said. "Just found something new about myself, that's all." My hair and eye color, changed back to black, their original color. "But I don't want to show my other form, that might be too much."
"Your other form?" Steven asked and I looked away.
"All my memories haven't returned yet. But when they do, I'll explain everything." I told him and looked down at the ground.
Carbonado, one of my names, though I guess the real one… The one I was never allowed to call myself, because I wasn't perfect… because I was an off-color, because I was seen as weak.
Black Diamond.
A/N: All done with Season 4, I'm sure some people called it. Yes you were right. Funny the title works for Steven and Suha.
