The Moissanites stood in front of the communicators without speaking for some time. Lars was unsurprisingly patient as he had to deal with Flourite's slow speech. The Gems spoke in unison again, an unforeseen consequence of the sapphires in all four of them "We are the Culmination, this had to happen, was always going to happen, for the good of gemkind. In mere months We will be able to move about, but We will still gather gems as We travel. Only the gems that will not alter us will be Combined, and We will stay Moissanite. When Pink comes back and Paragon unfuses, Their Programming will be reset. The Memories will be there, hidden, but they will return to being Conquerors, Tyrants, Narcissists, and Children. We are to Defeat them and return their memories. Failure to do it in time, and the Creators will come to destroy us all. Terra and all other Cluster weapons will fall apart, We will fall apart, The Diamonds will cease. We will become stones and shards instead of people. Lars and Lion will die. Any saved organics from the other Diamonds, will die. Homeworld will be the first planet to supernova. We must complete our mission to avoid this fate, and to do this we need all Gems. It is unfortunate to take on gems unwilling and unknowingly to fuse, but it cannot be avoided."
"Will you be okay? All of you? Will we get our friends back when this is over?" Lars asked, now appearing almost 40, but his voice still held it's youth. Interestingly the Gems answered in turn, still finishing sentences but individually this time.
"We will unfuse if we complete" Pink started
"Our purpose. We will go about our" Blue continued.
"Lives, as if this hadn't had to happen. Many gems will fade" White added.
"Away, and we do not know who. Your friends will return when they are able." Yellow finished.
Ending the conversation, The Moissanites met up on a distant planet, and built a large ship big enough to hold all four of them, with their eventual growth in mind. Since they all incidentally had at least one Bismuth, White with the Crystal one, the construction went by fast. They set off with a map of colonies, and visited each one in turn to gather the gems. It was a sight to see streaks of light like warp streams flood from the planets and moons and in through small holes in the hull of the ship reaching the destined gem. Each stop only added a few inches to the heights of the amalgamations even though the "freckles" multiplied drastically. The trip took a long time, and they weren't ready until just before the fateful day of Paragon's unfusing. They sent a message to Homeworld, explaining what had happened, remembering and being thankful that Volleyball had not joined them that fateful day of Steven's Funeral. The nearly complete Moissanites orbited a planet just close enough to Homeworld to keep in touch, but far enough away to not start the pull on the broken planet.
The change in power to the pearls and zircons was already complete, Paragon having started to talk in a four layer voice rather recently, and was sequestered in a large antechamber awaiting her end. It was assured that the Diamonds would not be pulled in to the fusion, but the darkness cells would have to be opened for any unfaded gem to be integrated. Once this was done, Paragon contacted the ship directly, apologizing ahead of time for the destruction that would no doubt occur after their reemergence. They remembered who they'd used to be, though they were afraid of what would happen being rejuvenated at the same time. Especially with Pink being off color in the first place. The communication was ended and though the Moissanite ship was far away, the light from the diamonds unfusing was bright enough to be seen as a flash in the distance. A short time later the pearls came on the screen and reaffirmed what they just saw. it was determined that there was ample time to make it to the planets and form up, including time to train the powers needed. So that's what they did, the gems deciding to take a galaxy warp to the planet instead.
They arrived one by one, White, Yellow, Blue and Pink, and they gave each gem time to collect all her components before warping in the next one. When White came down, shouts were heard as gems would glow as if to fuse but stream off to the throne room instead some newer fusions were ripped apart, white components joining the ever growing gem, and the others jettisoned out a few feet away. News spread fast so that when White was almost done, the last gems being white's new zircon and pearl, the rest of the gems merely began to congregate in the tower square. Yellow came next and while there were a few yelps of surprise when fusions were split, the process went by much quicker. Yellow Zircon and Pearl figured they would be last and struck up a conversation while they waited, though they were interrupted in the middle of a word. Blue came down next, the Famethyst Amethysts were the first to join the stream of lights, with the few Jaspers already joined in Yellow, Carnelian was left alone to await pink. As soon as the last gems had joined Blue, Pink stood on the warp pad in front of Volleyball, the belatedly commissioned Pink Zircon and the rather small amounts of Rubies, Morganites, rare Sapphires and Carnelians, the last Famethyst sister being nowhere near another of her gem type. Instead of being last, Pink's personal gems were the first to glow, a smile on Vollyball's face at seeing such a similar likeness to her best friend's standing before her. The rest of the gems followed quickly and Carnelian was the final gem to go. She was stable enough to be able to hear Blue and Yellow in unison, "She saved the best for last." The lone gem nearly shed a tear before joining the rest.
The large gems waited for their last sister to finalize her form and they jumped down to the square to being sparring, training themselves for the coming battle. They knew that in order to restore the Diamonds they were going to have to poof them, which would prove difficult due to their resistance to their own powers. The Moissanites were also resistant, but they knew the positive properties of the powers, where the rejuvenated Diamonds would not. This battle would be long and grueling but they must prevail or when the creators came, they would be in a heap of trouble.
