Pearl had to cover her mouth to keep herself from screaming when she saw the gem Sapphire was carrying. It was her gem, Steven's gem. Steven was poofed!
"What happened?" Amethyst finally asking what everyone had been thinking. The purple gem herself looked like she was on the verge of tears as she took the gem from Sapphire.
"Blue Diamond," Sapphire chocked out, "She tried to shatter me… but Steven… he pushed me… there wasn't time for him to use his shield… it's my fault…"
"No, no it isn't." Ruby said, it was all she could say. She was greatly upset. Sapphire was almost shattered, so Steven had to protect her, at the cost of his form. Two of Ruby's loved ones were hurt and she didn't know how to make it better.
"Steven?" Amethyst stroked the gem, "Can you hear me? You are in, there right?" He had to come back, he just had to. Amethyst didn't hate Rose and she was confused about her being Pink Diamond, but that wasn't the reason why she wanted Steven back. Steven was more like her than the others. She never saw homeworld, whatever knowledge about gems she knew came from Pearl and the others. When she and the others taught Steven, it was like watching herself learn all over again, but better.
"There they are!"
Lapis looked up, they were found by the Blue Diamond's guard's. Jasper's and Amethyst. She looked to their group. Everyone was upset, she couldn't blame them. But they needed to escape.
Then a thought came to her, but if she did it then…
She looked at the pink gem currently in Amethyst's care.
There was no other way. They couldn't help Steven if they got shattered. Homeworld here I come!
Outside. The water hand began to tighten it's grip on the blue wrist of the ship. The ship began to creak and moan. Until finally, the hand was severed from the rest of the arm. The two halves of the ship could no longer stay in orbit as it began to fall to Earth. Then the water retreated to Earth.
Greg waited on the steps of the house. Looking up at the sky. He hoped Steven was okay. He was upset when he learned the truth about his mother. Greg couldn't say he blamed Steven. He loved Rose, and even after everything he learned from Steven, he still loved her.
She was a kind, loving being. She was funny and weird. And she gave him Steven.
Greg was shocked about her actually being Pink Diamond. But Greg couldn't be angry at Rose. Because he remembered a particular conversation with her. That she wanted to tell him everything, but he told her that the past didn't matter, that he loved her now. In a way he told her, she didn't need to tell him she was Pink Diamond.
But then Greg thought of something. Every time they did talk about Pink Diamond. When Greg told her that she was better than Pink, that she was right to stand up to the tyrant. Rose seemed to tense up. Now Greg thought he knew why. It wasn't because she was still haunted by Pink Diamond's death. She thought Greg would hate her if he knew. And she probably believed that till the moment she gave up her physical form.
Greg wish he knew for sure. He wished she did tell him. He would have told her that the past was the past if he knew. Then she wouldn't have ever thought that he could ever hate or fear her.
Greg was pulled out of his thoughts when the sound of the waves returned. He looked to see the ocean had resumed its gentle current. He stood up and smiled. They did it.
Then he noticed something. Gently floating out of the sky was an orb of water. It reached the beach and fell away revealing the gems. Amethyst and Pearl were holding a pink gem, that had an pentagon shaped cut.
