"My Diamond, are you sure that's the right thing to do?" Jasper asked staring at her.
Pink Diamond smiled, "I am sure. Violet will come out of it soon enough but now, it would be better if she rid of Yellow Diamond this way."
"Amy isn't like that!" Steven cried looking upset.
"I know, but she is corrupted now. She is corrupted by my anger from when I was shattered. That's what corruption is: evil, angry thoughts."
Jasper frowned.
"So, she takes on negative feelings and makes it better?" Steven asked.
"Yes, in simple understanding."
They looked over at Amy who was attacking Yellow Diamond and Blue Diamond vigorously. They could barely dodge any of her attacks as she screeched and it hurt their ears. Steven had his ears covered looking over at his corrupted friend. She was nothing like the way she was acting now. He never thought she would try and shatter anyone if she was herself.
"We need to heal Amy before she shatters them!" Steven cried.
Amethyst, Garnet and Pearl looked at each other.
"We know she isn't like that! Isn't there another way to fix things?!"
Pink Diamond placed a hand on Steven, "Look at me little gem. If there was another way, I would have suggested it. Diamonds are nothing like gems like you guys. We are hard to break and can go back together just as easily if we are placed inside a bubble. In order for us to stay apart, we either have to stay out of one or we are to be corrupted then put in one.
"I'm sure that Violet would put them together but there is no way they would agree to stop what they were doing. The original Diamonds weren't the type to take over planets and kill the species. Gem were supposed to reproduce by using pieces of themselves with someone they love. Though, Blue Diamond and Yellow Diamond liked they could make soldiers by destroying planets. You could determine who they were and what they did that way."
Steven looked down at the sand.
"You remind me of Rose Quartz."
"My Diamond… what if Amy doesn't want to shatter anyone- wouldn't she be upset when she comes out of it?" Jasper asked.
"That I don't know."
"Well, it's nice to see you after all this time."
The group turned around to see White Diamond sitting down behind them.
"White-
"Calm down, you're missing the show."
Pink Diamond frowned and looked back at Amy. She looked like she was slowing down and getting sluggish with her movements.
"What's wrong with her?" she asked.
"Corruption makes them wear out like they were living creatures. We will have a major problem if they poof her. I don't think we can take on an angry Yellow Diamond and a soon to be angry Blue Diamond."
"What do you think we should do?" Pink Diamond asked.
White Diamond frowned and sighed, "You won't like it if I told you."
Steven looked at White Diamond with a worried expression, "What does that mean?"
"One of us needs to fight Yellow Diamond in assisting Violet or Amy if you prefer but the other needs to fight her too."
Jasper glared at her, "I don't think that would be wise to do in front of me."
"Listen I can crush you if I feel like it. Remember we can't hurt her. It's more like beating the corruption out more than anything," White Diamond answered shooting a glare back at Jasper.
ROOOAAARRR!
"You pick one or the other but it has to be done. She is suffering as she fights no matter how strong she is. Pink Diamond, are you fighting the one you love or the those you hate?" the Diamond asked ignoring the nasty looks she was receiving from Jasper.
Pink Diamond avoided Jasper's hateful gaze. When she felt Violet's presence all over again after that time so long ago, she wasn't the same. She had fallen in love with a gem far belong her. She learned of her powers and cured corruption just like she had predicted but…. Violet was no longer for her. Pink Diamond looked down at the ground as White Diamond placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Pity yourself later… We have someone to save. Someone who everyone will depend on."
"White…"
"You said yourself she would change everything and the way that Homeworld was right? Regardless of how you feel, put that to the side and let's do what you wanted to start a long time ago."
Pink Diamond nodded with tears in her eyes.
"Which one do you want to do?"
"Yellow Diamond."
White Diamond glared at her friend, "Damn you. That's fine… I owe her a few hits."
The two Diamonds stood up preparing themselves. Steven grabbed the edge of her dress, "Don't hurt her too much!"
"The only two being shattered here is Yellow Diamond and Blue Diamond. You now Violet can't be destroyed unless by her own hand or the original Diamonds."
Steven sniffed, "It doesn't matter to me. I don't want her hurt."
White Diamond smiled and placed a hand on Steven's head, "I'm glad for her sake she had landed here instead of somewhere else. Be glad little human hybrid."
White Diamond pulled out a large white trident out of her Diamond. Pink Diamond pulled out a whip covered in dark pink thorns with pink petals falling from it.
"Be careful my Diamond," Jasper said and she looked at her with a smile.
"I'm no longer anyone's Diamond Jasper. Be your own gem, you're free now."
Pink Diamond waited as White Diamond jumped in front of Amy who was in mid swing of hitting Yellow Diamond. White Diamond took the hit in her side sliding in the sand. She grinned up at the corrupted Amy who roared in anger. With each succession, she hit the trident but not White Diamond in an angry fury. White Diamond wasn't sure if she would even last long enough for her to rid of Yellow Diamond.
"So, after all this time… You want to try and come against us… hmmm?" Yellow Diamond growled.
"I'm giving back what you deserve."
Yellow Diamond snorted as slammed her war hammer down missing Pink Diamond as he stepped to the side.
"You made false promises. Everything went the opposite way of what you said. I never ever wanted anyone to get hurt and you knew this!"
The war hammer connected with Pink Diamond's stomach and she was sent flying into the ocean.
She wasn't a big fighter like the other three. Pink Diamond was more the brain and a genius than an actual fighter. Pink Diamond threw her pink whip at Yellow Diamond's torso snapping her arms to her sides. Yellow Diamond growled at her as she tried breaking it to get free but she was struggling more than anything. Pink Diamond kicked her in the face making her angrier, enough for her to snap free from the pinks binds.
"When this all over, I will break you into a million pieces," she hissed.
Yellow Diamond pulled out another war hammer then a second one with her eye twitching.
"What's wrong with the way things once were?" Pink Diamond asked summoning another weapon.
"Because it wrong! We are the more superior race compared to those things we create to serve us. We will always be better than them!"
Pink Diamond looked over at Amy who had slowed down a lot more than before.
"There's only one perfect being and it's her."
"How is she even perfect?!" Yellow Diamond screamed, "She's a corrupted mess!"
"She was made with love."
Yellow Diamond stared at her. She dropped her hammers in the sand staring at Pink Diamond.
"Love is fake!"
"Then explain how they were made!" Pink Diamond cried pointing at White Diamond and Amy, "You keep saying things like love don't exist but love can't exist without hate. Why do you hate everything so much huh?!"
"This place is disgusting! We are the dominant race and we deserve to take what we want! The Homeworld we have now, isn't the original one! You know our home was destroyed?!" Yellow Diamond yelled marching up to her.
Yellow Diamond grabbed her by the shoulders shaking her.
"You weren't there when it happened! We watched our race diminish in front of our very eyes! You think what we did was bad? It was nothing compared to what those strange organic life forms did to our home! The original four weren't going to do anything except let it happen over and over again! That's what Blue Diamond and I stand for! What did you stand for?!" Yellow Diamond screamed in her face.
Peridot stood there astonished. There wasn't a lot of history for gems before Yellow Diamond and the rest until Amy had appeared.
"We did what we did to restore everything we lost! It is no different than the shit you're trying to do now!"
Pink Diamond hung her head in shame.
Who was really right in all this?
"DON'T LET HER FOOL YOU!" White Diamond yelled as she was flung into the ocean.
She stood up tripping over the wave that crashed against her legs.
"Red, Silver, Purple and Black weren't anything like that!"
"WHAT DO YOU EVEN KNOW?!" Yellow Diamond screamed.
White Diamond watched as Amy's attention switched from her to Yellow Diamond. White Diamond looked around waiting to see Blue Diamond jump and protect her companion but she was nowhere to be seen. White Diamond watched as Amy dragged her oversized hands in the sand like they weighed a thousand pounds. She loomed over Yellow Diamond and Pink Diamond, corruption staining the pale sand.
"Violet!" Pink Diamond cried and stumbled backwards.
Amy's left claw wrapped around Yellow Diamond's body and picked her up. Yellow Diamond screamed as Amy's right claw shrunk in size some. It closed in on her Diamond that was on her chest. Her claws sunk into her chest and started pulling on it as corruption spilled onto her body. '
"Steven close your eyes!" Pearl covered Steven's scared eyes.
He was immobilized by fear.
Jasper watched as a wicked grin spread across her girlfriend's face as she was close to pulling the diamond out.
White Diamond grabbed Pink Diamond's hand and jerked her up. They started running across the sand away from Amy. With one final pull, Yellow Diamond poofed and her gem started to crack. Amy held it in her deformed hand staring at it like she had to study everything about it. She roared one last time and crushed it into powder.
The Crystal Gems were afraid of Amy, seeing just she had done so easily.
A bubble surrounded the dust and Amy sent it off. She looked around and started sniffing the air. She could see Pink Diamond and White Diamond just fine but Blue Diamond was nowhere to be found. She dropped down walking around like a bear sniffing the ground and air. She was hunting Blue Diamond like she was prey.
"What do we do now?" Pink Diamond hissed.
"We might have to fight for our lives," White Diamond said.
