Warning: Language, Violence

Prologue: Under the Moon's light part 2

Throughout the halls of the facility, they echoed the blaring sounds of the emergency alarms. Obviously, it means that a prisoner has escaped but wait...where were the other criminals that would take advantage of the single chaos that occurred earlier? Not sure and the fact that there was a whole lot of shattering, sickening crunches, and loud poofing noises can make one guess what was happening right about now.

"Warden! We have to go back, there are still gems with that monster!"

This was the third attempt that Peridot tried to tell Bloodstone to stop and help the others. They were both running away desperately from the scene while hand in hand, Peridot was the one being lead. What happened after the explosion went by so fast. Though the explosion didn't hurt some of the gems badly the moment Bloodstone saw that the machinery was destroyed and a huge ripped through-hole was presented she immediately grabbed Peridot's hand. But not before ordering her security to attack the gem of that death row inmate with everything they had.

"Warden seriously, are we just going to leave them and other prisoners to die?!"

Again no response from Bloodstone as she stopped in front of a metallic door and punched in some numbers on the keypad. Peridot took a quick look at the insignia to help her indicate where she was, the sign had a plus.

"The medbay?"

"... There are escape pods."

"Yeah, there are escape pods in the medbay. What about it?... Wait you're not thinking-"

"C'mon."

"Hey hold on!"

Pulling Peridot with her Bloodstone found that most of the escape pods were deployed, all except for one that opened for them. What terrible timing this was to have one singular escape pod.

"Well shit, now what? Most of the escape pods are missing. Hmm, maybe there is a way that I can hack into the system and reroute all power reserves into the level 5 capture system and recapture the psycho. That's foolproof right Warden?... Bloodstone?"

Without any warning, Bloodstone threw Peridot into the last escape pod and locked her in.

"Bloodstone what the fuck?! Get me out of here, I'm not leaving without you! We still have a chance to take back this ship!"

Despite the limb-enhanced fists, Peridot was unable to make a crack in it. Bloodstone then put a gentle hand on the viewing glass with a warm smile on her face.

"No we can't...there was never any countermeasure to take down someone like her."

"Bullshit! We've had dangerous criminals on this vessel that we couldn't handle, we still prevailed. Some of the very scum that plagues this universe from ever achieving peace we handled daily. Yet right now you're telling me this one criminal is something our prideful ship cannot handle?"

"You've only been here for a year so you weren't aware. For decades we were trying to find ways to kill her. We came to found a lot of her weaknesses later, using them on a constant basis so we could break them down more and more and more until they were weak. This day was our last chance to kill that very gem."

"So you're just giving up like this?"

"Peridot...That gem surrendered to us easily long ago even before I became Warden. Since I failed to destroy her now there is no doubt that this ship's destruction is imminent. The only thing I can do now is getting you away from here."

Opening up the destination panel Bloodstone typed in some coordinates and then pressed enter to lock it in.

"Coordinates set, escape pod launching in 10 seconds...9...8...7-"

"No! Stop this Bloodstone, I can't leave you here to die! I-I love you so please don't leave me alone!"

There was no turning back for Warden Bloodstone. She made her choice to save the one gem that has ever made her feel loved and wanted. The bond between them was unlike any other that it made her cry. As much as Bloodstone wanted them to stay together until the end, this decision felt like the right thing to do.

As Peridot was still pounding on the pod's glass Bloodstone began to cry while looking directly at her lover's eyes one last time.

"*Sniff* I love you too Peri, I love you so much."

"1...0, escape pod launch."

"BLOODSTONE!"

*Whoosh*

Just in time, the escape pod ignited its engines and blasted away from the ship. I say just in time since Bloodstone can sense the homicidal gem who most likely slaughtered everybody was behind her, breathing heavily.

Taking a deep breath Bloodstone wiped her tears while adjusting her hat. With a look of hardened bravery and courage on her face, she turned her body around to look her attacker in the eye. It felt strange to her, from her point of view she felt like she was staring death in the face yet the last thing she could do was smile at it.

"...Do your worse."

The moment Bloodstone said those last words slightly long, jagged, and crystal-like yellow fingers swiftly gripped around her neck like a vice, lifting the warden off the ground with ease. She can feel an instant jolting pain spread throughout her body when the tip of the gem's fingers dug into her.

Struggling was obviously useless now that this monster could do whatever they wanted to Bloodstone. But she accepted her fate, Peridot was safe and that's all that mattered to her. Though Bloodstone had to wonder why this gem was taking so long and not poof her immediately? Was this gem a sadist? Ran low on energy? Or maybe this gem wanted to indulge in their twisted, fucked up sexual fantasies with her...Oh by the Diamond forbid that please, the last thing Bloodstone needs to experience right now was being forcibly taken by a gem she doesn't love in the slightest before she poofs or shattered.

The gem then moved their head closer to Bloodstone's ear and whispered something inaudible into it.

"Huh? Wh-what do you me- *CRACK* AHHHHHHHHHHH! *Poof*"

Whatever the gem said they said it anyway. Clutched within their hand was Bloodstone's gemstone, uncracked and unharmed. Gently clenching it so the gemstone doesn't shatter in their palm the menacing-looking gem glanced at the escape pod module, scanning the random numbers inputted by Bloodstone not too long ago.

Although the gem didn't recognize the coordinates they did know that wherever the escape pod went to the ship was actually drifting towards the same direction. Good thing the engines weren't destroyed, they were careful with that.

That name, Steven Universe that the Warden showed to them was definitely no coincidence. Looks like that hooded gem from long ago wasn't just spouting nonsense. Though it only fooled them for a sec, the gemstone on the individual's stomach felt the same as Pink Diamonds.

So this Steven Universe alien is Pink Diamond's reborn form hmm? Seems like fate is currently pulling her the way. But first, mayyybe some simple repairs (YOU CALL BIG PUNCTURED HOLES SIMPLE?!) to the ship is appropriate to pass the time.

Fast forward to two days later the mysterious black spaceship appeared right next to Earth's orbit mere moments after the former partially destroyed penitentiary crashed landed towards the Earth.

"8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 annnnnnnnd that should do it."

From the main deck, the annoying bubbly voiced crew member Ego snapped her fingers as soft clanging contact of metal can be heard nearby. One of the clangings was closely next to her. Looking down by her darkish purple high-heeled shoe was a tiny green surveillance bot with its camera lens busted open due to the impact. Vessel let out an annoyed sigh of relief.

"Ugh, finally those little shits are burned out."

"Which proves that my prediction was right, right Vessel?"

"Shut up. Just because you knew the spy bots would deactivate at this time I don't have to say shit to you."

"Actually Vessel thou should give Ego some praise."

Strangely Vessel got startled by the third voice.

"Oh shit, you surprised me. I thought you were getting some rest."

"I was until we got to Earth."

"Wait we're here? Huh, well what do you know, it does look like a blue jawbreaker."

"The fuck? It looks nothing like that...Though I have to say this planet looks blech pretty."

"Awww Vessel."

"Silence."

Vessel and Ego closed their mouths when the third voice spoke out. They both had visual confusion expressions on their faces and rightfully so.

"Uhhhh something up boss?"

"Is it another giant dimension worm? *Shivers* The last one we were able to kill was soooo ugly, disgusting, and ugly!"

"You said ugly twice dumbass."

"Well, it was!"

"Silence!"

"...*Whisper* What is it?"

"I feel them nearby."

"Wh- oops, I meant *whisper* who?"

The third voice trailed their purple irises towards the Earth.

"Ah wait that presence feels familiar. Could it be?"

"Yeah yeah I feel it too. It has to be her!"

"Hate to say this but I agree with Ego. Is that why you told us to come here in the first place?"

"No, we came here to see the Ambassador of Peace across the universe who is Pink Diamond but named Steven. Our mission still stands."

The third voice tapped on the main control panel and then the ship completely vanished.

"Sheesh to think it would take a couple 100 decades for us."

"And flying through hundreds of thousands of planets to do so. Aren't we glad that broadcast was there for us to see so we could easily find Pink? I was getting hella bored."

"Indeed, we are now entering Earth's atmosphere. Wake me up when you both encounter Steven."

"Okie dokie."

As The third voice's presence vanished Ego spoke up with a sly smile on her face.

"Hey Vessel, wasn't it kinda funny when that Green Pearl calling herself Emerald thought we were going to broadcast her 'performance' on Earth to thousands of planets?"

"Oh yeah, that did happen. I'm still wondering how you knew about the bugs planted on our ship so early? Color me impressed that your acting skills were better than ours."

"I'm just glad that the spies died and my false footage fooled that *Through gritted teeth* NARCISSISTIC PRICK eheh."

Normally when Ego says any word through gritted teeth then she's really pissed off. Not just anything would piss her off, just those that think they're superior in intellect than her. Well, the only exceptions would be the Diamonds of course.

"Uhhh are you going to be okay Ego?"

"Sure, sure don't fret over little ol me. Since Emerald is still likely on Earth I can find them easily and when I find them I'm going to make sure they regretted ever being born.

The creepy part was that those sentences that Ego let out were done with a sadistic curved smile plastered across her face.

"Oooookay I'm going to be taking a rest too."

"Alrighty then, I'll just land this puppy and do surveillance on the surface. Yeah, I think this will be fun...at least for me."
