Steven was sitting in his room, thinking. Why does Stevon want to start a war? he thought. He sighed. Maybe this is a bad dream. I'll wake up eventually. Steven frowned.
~a~
Stevon was watching the Homeworld Gems make the Diamond Shatter Device. Everything is going according to plan! Stevon thought. He then looked at his plans:
"Step one: make the Diamond Shatter Device. Check!" Stevon checked off the box.
"Step two: defeat Steven..." Stevon thought for a bit.
What will I do if Steven disappears? he thought. He was created by Steven's fears, and what would happen if Steven died. Will I die to?! Stevon thought. No... Stevon shook his head. I am my own self now. I escaped her room, so I am a new person, never linked to Steven again. he thought. He looked at the Gems who were looking at him.
"GET BACK TO WORK!" Stevon shouted.
The Gems hurried back to what they were doing. God damnit, I hate people. Stevon thought.
~a~
Steven was going back to Little Homeworld, warping there, and saw that the Gems there were now all battle-ready. Steven was confused. Then he remembered: They're preparing for Stevon's attack. He sighed. Is this gonna end well? he thought. He sighed. He saw Bismuth coming up to him, in her battle armour.
"Steven, are you ready? We'll be going soon, and we will avenge Spinel." Bismuth said.
"I don't know if I wanna go." Steven said, frowning.
"Steven... you still feel attached?" Bismuth asked.
Lapis came up to them, looking at Steven.
"Bismuth, is he going?" Lapis asked.
"No." Bismuth looked at Lapis.
"What?!" Lapis sounded confused.
"I'm not forcing him, so he doesn't want to go." Bismuth said.
"But we need him to defeat Black Quartz!" Lapis said, concerned.
"I am not hurting Stevon!" Steven shouted.
"We understand that, Steven. We aren't gonna force ya. This is only a side effect of a Black Quartz coming out of a Diamond." Bismuth said.
"He didn't come out of me, he came out of my mom's room!" Steven shouted.
"Wait what?!" Bismuth said, worry in her tone.
"Yea, is something wrong with that?" Steven was confused.
"Yea! Pink Diamond must've been hiding him, so he existed when Pink Diamond existed!" Lapis said.
"Oh boy." Steven saw the Gems going to the ships that were placed by the warp pad.
"We gotta be ready, Steven. You stay here, and keep an eye on Beach City. He may want to destroy that place too." Bismuth said, going to one of the ships.
Steven was upset. What will he do?! Bismuth and Lapis are going... wait, what about Peridot? Steven saw Peridot going to a ship too, and he sighed. What will happen to them? Steven asked himself.
