"I want you to be punished.",yellow diamond said to the boy. "I want you serve at the lowest rank of my court and I want you to work hard every day until you die. I won't give you the pleasure of an easy death either. If you do this for me, I will let your human go. If not, well... I'll have to kill you both painfully."
"Why? Lars didn't do anything... my diamond",he added for Lars' sake.
"Any friend of yours is an enemy of mine. I want you to become trained back to your rightful spot. That's why I want you to work."
"Fine... I'll do it.",he said loudly.
Yellow diamond looked at the soldier near Steven. The soldier gave Steven a harder zap than the last resulting in Steven yelling as yellow viens arched through his whole body. He got up from the ground as soon as the gem stopped and shook himself off.
"You didn't address me properly.",she said with a smile."Now, Topaz, take the human to an escape pod and lock coordinates on Earth. Bring... the thing, with you so she can see her end of the bargain come through. Take onyx with you incase she tries anything. That will be all"
The gem that was nearest to Steven grabbed Steven by the arm and carried him to the large yellow doors with Topaz in front. They walked up to the cage with Lars inside. "Lars, are you okay?",Steven yelled to the sleeping Lars one they were out of ear shot of Yellow diamond.
Lars groaned and moved his arm outward but remained unconscious.
"I'll take that as a yes",Steven sighed. He had hoped he would be able to say goodbye to Lars. It was, after all, the last human he would see for the rest of his life. His last friend.
Onyx and Topaz remained silent and kept walking down the hallway. After about five minutes of walking, Onyx spoke,"Are the pods to the left? I thought they were upstairs a level."The black toned gem with yellow attire asked the yellow Topaz that originally kidnapped Lars anand Steven.
"I'm pretty sure they are this way but why don't you check upstairs. I got this covered.",she said in her voice that seemed suprisingly high.
"You sure?",Onyx asked.
"Yes. Go check.",Topaz took Steven from Onyx's arms awkwardly. She ushered Lars' cage forward and started walking again after Onyx turned around.
A few seconds later she spoke,"I want to help you guys."
"W-what!?",Steven said with a smile.
"Shh.",she said and looked around. "Don't Make me change my mind"
"okay.", Steven said quietly "Um, thanks... It means a lot."
"I've been pushed around too long. That's why I'm coming with you",she smiled at Steven who had stars in his eyes for the first time in weeks.
"What are we going to do?",Steven asked excitedly.
