In front of the Barn, the Gems Steven, Lapis, Blue Pearl, Violet Pearl, Anaya, Pearl, Onyx, Yellow Pearl, Jewel, Peridot, Marble, Soren, Amethyst, Pink Pearl, and Garnet along with Lion were in front of the Barn as it was nighttime as after Anaya, Blue Pearl and Violet Pearl left on Lion through a portal a couple minutes ago, some of the others in front of the Barn began having a conversation as Amethyst asked.
"How much longer 'til we can use the drill?" With Soren and Pink Pearl nodding in agreement, Pearl told them and the others. "Well, with the new coordinates we got from the moon base, it should be ready to go. But we really should perform a few tests first." As she tells them Yellow Pearl began to sneak into the barn in which Steven had spotted, and in his curiousity, he follows her.
Once inside the Barn, he began hearing Yellow mumble about something while holding the Device she got from the Moon Base, as while she did she then spots Steven and immediately hides the device behind her saying. "Oh! Steven."
"Yellow Pearl, I need to talk to you."
She began to feel a bit uneased with this and said with a nervous smile. "Uhhh, yeah! Sure!" Steven then opens the truck door and begins leading Yellow Pearl into it, as when they entered the truck that's parked inside the Barn she asked confused. "Why are we in this broken-down vehicle?"
"I wanted to ask you...About the Diamonds?" After telling her, She said, a bit of surprise. "Oh! I don't know what the others have told you, but there's a reason they're in charge."
Steven became curious. "Why's that?" When he asked her she then told him. "They're objectively better than us. Every Gem has their strengths and weaknesses, but not them. They're absolutely totally completely flawless beings! Especially my Diamond, Yellow Diamond, the most perfect, the most reasonable, rational, efficient decider ever to exist in the universe!" After she finished telling him he then asked her. "You're really loyal to her, aren't you?"
"How could I not be? We might have our little truce, but I'll never forsake the Gem I was made for!" After telling him he then had an idea to trick Yellow Pearl and said while pointing. "That's good, because...She's right behind you!"
She became surprised and looked at where he pointed saying. "What?" While turned Steven spots the Diamond Communicator in her hand and immediately takes it from her, as when she noticed she gasped looking at her empty hand and looks over at Steven who shuts and locks in the car, making her scream and say.
"Ahh, no! ahh!"
As she screamed Steven tells her. "Save your strength! You're up against one of the Earth's greatest trapping technologies, the child safety lock!" She gasps again and asked. "Oh, no! How could you do this to me, the great and lovable Yellow Pearl?! I thought we were finally friends like you wanted!" As she slides down from the window he shows her the Diamond Communicator.
"I saw you sneak this off the moon base while nobody else was looking!" As she sees him holding up the Diamond Communicator she pretends that it's nothing to worry about as he asked. "What is it? Tell me!" When he asked she told him. "It's nothing special. And definitely not important at all."
Steven sees through her lies and gets an idea as he picks up a nearby hammer lying on the floor and said. "Then why don't I just smash it!" This frightens Yellow as she stops him.
"No, no, no, no, no, wait! All right, look. I have a plan. Allow me to explain...It's...A Diamond Communicator. Meant for the express purpose of contacting the Diamonds back on Homeworld."
When she told him he then asked. "You're still trying to contact Homeworld?" After he asked her she explained to him. "Yes, of course! I figured it out. You simple clods keep trying to protect the earth, but you can't do anything right! I let myself get carried away, too... laughing, singing, building our little machine...But don't you see? None of that matters! All that matters is that I'm of use to Yellow Diamond! This planet can be of use to Yellow Diamond! I must contact her, to reveal what I've discovered!"
"But the Diamonds are bad! They don't care about the earth! They wanted to hollow it out, and now they wanna blow it up with the Cluster!" After telling her she then said. "Yes, yes! That's the point!"
After telling him he then asked. "Why do I keep sticking my neck out for you? You're never gonna be on our side! Lapis! Pearl! Garnet! Everyone!" This shocked Yellow as she pleaded. "Steven, no! Don't get them. Steven! Release me!" Steven soon closes the barn door as he went to the others.
Minutes later
"She took a direct line to the Diamonds! From the moon base? What was she thinking?" After Pearl asked shocked with others shocked too Amethyst looked at Soren and Pink Pearl saying. "Man, after everything we've gone through, she's still out to get us! That...She...Ahhh, I'm too mad!"
Soon Steven hears Yellow Pearl honking the truck horn from inside the barn which caused Lapis and the others there to look over at it as Steven said. "I see she knows what a horn is now." After saying that Lapis told him. "You offered her a lot of your trust."
"I did! And it blew up in my face. You guys have been protecting Earth for thousands of years. She could've destroyed all of that. A whole earth, why did I think I could change her mind?"
When he said that Soren then told him. "I know right? But I guess you can't like go into peoples heads and change how they think."
"Maybe we can?" When Pink Pearl said that it gave an idea to Amethyst as she said. "Yeah if we just shrink down really little..." She then is stopped by Steven who tells her and the others. "No no no, I don't want to tell her what to do. She should just know. Shouldn't she?"
After asking Onyx then told him. "It's 'cause you believe in everyone Steven. You have a little more patience than the rest of us. But the truth is, not everyone deserves that patience."
"Look on the bright side. At least you got this thing away from her before she did any real damage." When Pearl told Steven with Lapis nodding in agreement, he looks down and says. "Yeah..."
Suddenly one side of the barn explodes shocking and surprising them as Steven turned to look at the side of the Barn and said. "Ohhhh nooooo!" The Gems then see Yellow Pearl bursting out of the barn in Peridot's robot that she made in case of emergencies as Yellow laughed maniacally and said. "Free, freeeee! Ahahaha!"
"How did she escape?" When Steven asked Yellow throws the truck door in front of the Gems and said. "Fools! Your invisible rotary shield was no match for me...Once I applied logic!" After telling them Steven groans in frustration as the Gems run towards Yellow Pearl in Peridot's machine as she said. "Now I'm going to do this right." As she said that she then throws a truck at them.
When she threw it, the Gems began to all dodge the attack as while Pearl and Onyx try to hold the Homeworld communicator, but lose it to Yellow who said. "See? None of you know what you doing!" Soon as Yellow Pearl runs away in Peridot's machine Peridot said. "Hey! That was mine!"
"Ohh okay! I've been ready for this!"
When Amethyst said that she transforms into a helicopter, which surprised Soren, Pink Pearl and some of the other Gems as she looked at them and said. "Get in." When she said that they all got into the Helicopter except Lapis who was near the entrance as she asked.
"Where's Steven?
They soon saw and heard him as he said. "Stupid Yellow Pearl, stupid giant robot! Oh why, oh why did I have to encourage her?" He was then grabbed by Lapis from one of a water tentacle she formed from her back and brought him over to the Helicopter as Pearl said.
"There's no time for feeling horrible. We have to catch Yellow Pearl before she contacts Yellow Diamond." After telling him that Amethyst in Helicopter form begins to fly and chase Yellow Pearl as she tries to open the communicator using the robot claws.
But while she did Pearl in the Amethyst Helicopter made her Gem glow and said as she began contacting Blue, Violet Pearl, and Anaya. "Blue Pearl, Violet Pearl, Anaya, are you all there?" She paused hearing Blue Pearl tell them they're all here as she said.
"We need your help back at the barn, there's a problem." When she said that they caught up to Yellow Pearl who noticed them as she looked shocked as Soren said. "What's up, Yellow Hurl?!"
Amethyst laughed from that a bit along with Pink as Amethyst said. "Good one, Soren!" Soon as Pearl finished calling the three, she and Pink Pearl summoned their Spears, Onyx, Jewel, and Soren summoned their Swords, and Garnet summons her gauntlets, as when Yellow saw this she screams as Garnet launches her gauntlets at Peridot's robot, knocking it into an electricity line, making it falls over and let go of the communicator.
After that Yellow Pearl soon began to get up from inside the Robot Peridot made and look around before spotting the Communicator as she gasped and smiles, but before reaching it Pearl's spear flies down and knocks the communicator away from her as she looked up and saw Amethyst transform back to her regular form and the other Gems fall down around her as Amethyst, Soren and Pink shout.
"Dogpile!"
They then started to smash and punch Peridot's robot including Peridot who started smashing it with the bat she took with her as while doing that they were unaware that Yellow Pearl was slipping away through the arm of the robot to retrieve the communicator, luckily Steven spots this and said as he went after.
"You're not getting away with it!" As he said that he grabs Yellow taking her down as he said. "I trusted you! I spend all that time bonding and hoping and caring about you!"
She then looked at him and then said as she began trying to turn on the Communicator. "You don't get it either! This is your whole prooobleeem! Your emotions rule out the reason! I will do what has to be done!"
"Wh-"
Before Steven finished Yellow Pearl turned on the communicator and it glows yellow as it begins to float above them as while it did Blue, Violet and Anaya showed up on Lion who went through a portal to bring them, as when they did they and the others looked at the glow as well, shocked as Yellow Pearl giggles and said. "She'll sort this out."
"Everyone hide!" When Pearl said that the others nodded and hid behind the messed up robot as Lapis grabbed Steven and hid him too as they watch as the communicator opens up a hologram as Yellow Pearl gets manically excited as when the hologram is on it shows nothing but what looked like a window showing the outside of space as a voice off screen asked. "Who's contacting the Diamond line?"
When the voice asked curiously Yellow Pearl answered giving a smile. "My Diamond, it is me, your Pearl. Reporting in." When she said that Yellow Diamond said sounding a bit surprised. "Yellow Pearl?" She then picks up the Diamond Communicator and faces it towards her revealing herself, which made the others still hiding gasp in shock or surprise as Amethyst, then Garnet and Pearl each said. "Is that..."
"Yellow..." "Diamond!"
Soon Yellow Pearl told Yellow Diamond. "I'm sorry to contact you this way, but all other forms of communication have been destroyed and..." Before she finished Yellow Diamond makes a sign for her to stop talking for a moment.
"This says you're a bit behind schedule on your mission to...How is...The Earth?" When she asked looking at Yellow she told her. "It's...Full of life." Yellow Diamond looked in disgust saying. "Organic life...And where is Blue Diamonds Pearl, and the Jasper I assigned to you and her? And why aren't you calling from the ship?"
When she asked Yellow Pearl told her. "The ship was destroyed." Her Diamond asks out of curiosity. "By whom?" Yellow then soon told her. "I-I-I-It was destroyed by..." She then looks over at Pearl, Jewel, Steven and the others before saying.
"No one! There was...An accident...While we were...Landing?"
Yellow Diamond then looked back at the screen in front of her and said. "I'll inform your manager of your incompetence. And what is the status of The Cluster?" Yellow Pearl then told her about it. "The Cluster...Will emerge shortly." After giving the news Yellow Diamond then said giving a smile.
"Good. We'll finally get some use out of that miserable planet...Thank you for your report, Yellow Pearl. There'll be a ship heading to your location to take you to your next assignment." When told Yellow asked. "Wait! I-I wouldn't call to waste your time with a report, my Diamond." She told her. "You already have."
Yellow Pearl began telling her. "No, I mean...The reason I called...The real reason is...I believe I should...Stay on Planet Earth for a little longer." This brought Yellow Diamond to concern as after a short time of silences she asked.
"Why?" When she asked Yellow Pearl began explaining to her. "I believe that after seeing how...Earth has evolved, I'd like to stay here and travel to some parts of the Earth to see how everything has changed for a while. Also to try to find Blue Pearl to prevent her from being destroyed by the Cluster in the Earth. If I'm able too, I'll find a transportation device to help me and Blue Pearl come back to Homeworld when we're in need to help you and Blue Diamond."
After telling her, Yellow Diamond began to think for a moment before giving a short sigh before saying in her usual tone. "Fine...Be safe out there on the Planet, Earth. And keep an eye out for the Jasper as well." Yellow Pearl then nodded as she said, giving another Diamond symbol with her arms.
"Yellow Pearl, out."
When she finished the screen then turned to a static color of yellow before shrinking back into the Diamond Communicator as when Yellow began holding it she gave a nervous exhale as Steven and the Gems come out from hiding and begin to congratulate Yellow Pearl as Steven said. "That was AMAZING!" Soon Yellow Pearl said, breaking her silence. "I can't believe I just did that." When she said that, Steven then told her.
"I was so wrong about being so wrong about you!" When he told her she then repeated. "I can't believe I just did that." Soon Pearl then went up to her and placed her hand onto Yellow Pearl's shoulder which she noticed as Pearl said. "It's ok Yellow Pearl, you did the right thing not only for us but for the protection of Earth too."
When she told her Steven smiled and then asked her happily. "Do you know what this means?!" She then looks at him and asked. "That I'm a traitor to my Homeworld?"
"You're a Crystal Gem!"
He then hugs Yellow Pearl which caused her to blush a little bit as Pearl then said. "Whether you like it or not." When others agreed with her Yellow Pearl soon began to groan as soon her groans started to become louder as she still couldn't believe she did that.
