Author's Note: Hello everyone! February is near and you know all that means lovey dovey stuff and love songs…but not this one!
This is another song request by 616mcu he wanted me to do the song from the My Little Pony Movie. Now I have no real love for that franchise but they have some goods songs I'll give them that, and when I listened to this one. It got me thinking of a interesting idea.
This is set in the Reverse/Diamond AU where a certain main character is going to have a talk with a certain dimensional counterpart.
Open up your eyes.
Steven felt terrible. He rubbed his head after being hit by Jasper. Oh this worlds Jasper. Either way it still hurt.
Steven rubbed his face and winched when he went over his left eye, "No not the other eye!"
"Be thankful that's all she did."
Steven stood up fast still looking more clearly at his surroundings. It was a dark yellow room with red lines pulsing on the walls. His cell was in the middle with dark yellow bars. If one was to looking at it from the outside they would see it as a birdcage.
Steven looked around the room searching for the voice not seeing that he was about to hit one of the bars and when he it sent a quick shock at him.
Steven jumped back, it was like touching that prank gum that Stan and Amethyst gave him.
"This cell is design to hold both gems and filth ridden organics."
Steven looked across the cell into a shadowed area and a silhouette was seen in the there.
The silhouette started walking and to Steven's shock and surprise he saw the reason why many of the people in this world started looking at him with fear and hate.
He saw his evil counterpart, Steven Diamond.
The little dictator walked around the cell. Studying the prisoner within. Steven looked at him, his eyes similar to Yellow Diamond but also like Lion ready to pounce.
"I want you to know I finds hard to believe," The other Steven said. Steven was about to speak but the other one continued, "Oh I don't mean you being form another universe that much is clearly obvious."
Then he turned away from him is disgust, "A spawn of Rose Quartz. How degrading."
Steven drummed his fingers nervously, "Um, well this is all surprising to me too. "Steven managed to let outa smile.
"But hey I'm a Steven. You're a Steven and hey just because we act different we are still the same. Like we are both half…"
Then as quick as lightning Steven was grabbed by the front of his shirt by the other Steven. The close feeling of the electric bars barely touched his shirt but all Steven was concerned was the look of rage as his counterpart glared at him.
"Let me make it very clear to you," Steven Diamond said with a snarl. "The only thing we have in common is that both our farther is named Greg Universe."
Steven stuttered, "Well were both half human, half gem and…"
Steven gasped as Steven Diamond grabbed ahold of a bar but was not effected by the electricity, and if he was he did not show it.
"You mother was a Quartz, " Steven Diamond spoke softly, "Just another soldier, a grunt. My mother was a Diamond." Then he let go of the bar.
"I am more then you will ever be."
Steven watched as the other Steven walked away, he could never imagine himself doing all this. Why was he acting that way? Why?
"Why?"
Steven Diamond paused in his step. He turned around and looked at the sad pathetic creature in that cell. A creature that looks and sounds like him. How insulting.
"Why what?" he said.
Steven stood up, "Why are you doing this? Why are you like this? I don't think your dad would want you to…"
"He is dead."
Steven stopped. His eyes widen. Steven Diamond looked at him, he showed no expression.
"You know just from looking at you. I can tell that you've spend the rest of your life being protected, cared for like a little baby," He mocked, "That is another thing that separates me from you. I don't need anyone."
Steven Diamond walked around the cell again, "In fact let me educate you on something."
Steven watched as the evil him eyed him.
Steven Diamond: It's time you learned a lesson. It's time that you understand.
Do not count on anyone else, on a world or another land.
Steven Diamond stopped as he stood face to face with his weak counterpart.
Steven Diamond: You think I want friendship? Or a place among my kind.
But those are the childish wishes. Of someone who was blind.
Steven Diamond raised both arms as this side and sent out a wave of lightning around the room.
Steven Diamond: Open up your eyes!
See the world from were I stand.
I'm among the mighty, while you're
caged at my command.
Steven watched in fear at Steven Diamond moved away but lighting started coiling around his hands like a snake.
Steven Diamond: Open up your eyes!
Give up your sweet fantasyland.
Steven Diamond crushed the lightning in his grip and tossed it at the cell but missing thou that did not stop Steven from ducking.
Steven Diamond: It's time to grow up and get wise.
Come now Universe.
Open up your eyes.
Steven looked back at Steven Diamond. Unknowing to both that their gems started glowing. Then to his surprise Steven saw images of his counterpart's life.
He saw his Dad, or at least this world's version of his dad, playing with a Steven Diamond as a toddler.
Its funny but Toddler Steven Diamond is just like he was when he was that small.
Steven Diamond: We all start out the same. With simple naïve trust.
Shielded from the many ways. That life's not fair or just.
Then three figures appear Steven could not make out the other two but the third figure he recognizes as Yellow Diamond's Pearl.
Greg tried to grab ahold of his son but the two figures held him down as Yellow Pearl grabbed Toddler Steven Diamond and held him just away from her body.
Young Steven Diamond started crying as he is taken away from his farther, then the image starts fade.
Steven Diamond: But then there comes a moment.
A simple truth that you must face. If you depend on others, you'll never find your place.
Then Steven saw a little Steven Diamond all dressed up cape and all, his little face looking nervous. Then images of gem appeared left and right of him. They bowed to him and he smiled but he noticed they gave him looks of disgust and dislike.
Then they were gone and image of Blue Diamond appeared in front of the child. He smiled and Blue Diamond gave a small smile but tears threatened to leave her face and soon she vanished.
Now everything started to get a little dark all the remaining light fells on the little Steven Diamond.
A single tear fell from his cheek. Then a mural image of Yellow Diamond appeared behind him. The young boy looked up and put his hand on the mural.
Steven Diamond: And as you take that first step. Upon a path that's all your own.
The boy frowned as he clenched his fist and lighting sparked from it. He turned away from the mural and headed towards his future.
Steven Diamond: You see it all so clearly. The best way to survive is all alone.
Soon reality came back and Steven touched his check feeling tears. He looked at Steven Diamond who turned his back at him as he wiped his own tears quickly then placed his hand on his chest where his gem resides.
Steven Diamond: Open up your eyes!
See the world from were I stand.
I'm among the mighty, while you're caged at my command.
Then Steven Diamond turned towards Steven and once more grabbed his shirt and held him dangerously close to the bars but made certain that he was looking at him.
Steven Diamond: Open up your eyes, and behold the fading light.
It's time to grow up and get wise. Come now Universe.
Steven Diamond then tossed him to the ground. Steven looked at him in fear as Steven Diamond grinned.
Steven Diamond: Open up your eyes.
Then holo-screens appeared left and right around the room appeared, as Steven looked at the screens he gasped in horror. Across the forest, mountains, and parts of Gravity Falls where covered with larger more high tech version of the Injectors, ready to be activated.
Steven Diamond: Open up your eyes!
Steven fell to his knees as Steven Diamond watched the images with a smile.
"You know I really do hope your friends come to rescue you," he said, his smile becoming even more wicked.
"Because I want to see the look on your face when they draw their last breath."
Steven looked up now seeing his evil counterpart looking at him, "And when it is done. I'm going to do to you what my mother did to my world's version of Rose Quartz."
Steven moved back in fear as Steven Diamond towered over him.
"I'm going to shatter you."
The End.
