It passed two days since the incident of the Mayor Dewey and the whole static thing. The static was still on the television and had been like that on three days straight, but whats worse...the weapon is going to arrive on planet Earth on two days and the Crystal Gems are still unprepared for whats coming.
Inside Steven's House (3:50 P.M)...
The Crystal Gems were sitting on the couch waiting for Steven and Connie to return since both of them went out for some fry bits. Pearl was very nervous, she knew that today will be the day Garnet tells Steven everything about them, Rose Quartz, and Homeworld.
"Garnet...Are you sure you that Steven is ready to know the whole truth about us?" said a very nervous Pearl.
"Pearl...Steven has grown up alot. He can now control his shield and summon on it on his will, he evens know how to expand his shield once summoned. Even Rose couldn't do something like that. He is ready." responded Garnet.
"But I'm not ready yet! What if he thinks bad of us?! What if he doesn't want to speak with us again?! Or worse! He can lost his will to be a Crystal Gem!" said Pearl getting all concerned and histerical.
"Pearl! Calm down! You like everyone else here knows that Steven won't do any of that." said Garnet trying to calm down Pearl.
"How do you know?!" added Pearl.
"P, stop spazzing out! Its Steven we are talking about! You know very well that Steven is strong and will always look the beauty in everything! Even his worst enemies!" said Amethyst.
For once, Pearl agreed on what Amethyst just said. She knows that even after she said to Steven that he never met his mother, he was worried about her and wasn't mad or even angry at her. He got worried about her and even chase her on those floating hills even if that means getting hurt in which she never do anything to help him that time. She even wished that Steven would fall down and never return in which she quickley regretted that after seeing how close her wish was going to get fullfilled.
"You are right...maybe I should calm down a little bit." added Pearl now with a calmer tone.
"(Wow, for the first time she said that I was right. Well at least she stopped freaking out.)" thought Amethyst.
Then Steven and Connie entered the house with three bags of fry bits, they looked pretty happy and they noticed how everyone was seemingly waiting for them.
"Hey! Jasper, I brought you some fry bits." said Steven as he handed the bag containing the fry bits.
"Oh Yeah!" said Jasper as she grabbed the bag.
"Why is everyone like this?" added Connie noticing that everyone was waiting for them.
"Steven...theres something you must know." said Garnet.
"What is it?" asked Steven.
"...You have grown alot, and everyone is very proud of that. So we decided that its time for you to know everything." answered Garnet.
"Everything? Everything of what? Of that dangerous weapon that is coming to Earth?" said Steven very confused at seeing how Garnet was acting.
"No Steven...Everything about us. The origin of the Crystal Gems, The Rebellion, Homeworld, Rose Quartz and her legacy. Its time we tell you about all of that." said Garnet while fixing her shades. Steven immediately got huge and glittering stars on his eyes...you could tell that he was very happy that he is going to hear the story of her mom and the Crystal Gems.
"May I hear it as well?" added Connie who also was happy. Ever since she met Steven she had wondered what are the Crystal Gems and why they came to Earth to protect it and from what.
"Yes Connie... you may hear as well." said Garnet with a little smile. Connie got super happy that she also had big stars on her eyes.
"WOO-HOO! Story! Come on..." said Steven as he immediately grabbed Connie arm and both of them satted down with smiles on their faces.
"Pearl...do you want me to tell them the story or do you..." said Garnet.
"No...no... I'm fine. I'll be gladly to tell them everything." said Pearl.
"Thank you." said Garnet as she satted down. Then Pearl standed up.
"Now Steven and Connie, I want both of you to pay very closely attention to the story. I'm going to sow everything about Homeworld, us...and Rose Quartz..." said Pearl as she blushed upon mentioning the name of their deceased leader.
Then Pearl gemstone began to glow and show holograms of space and a weird and big planet. It seems that Pearl will be telling the story and everything that she is telling will be shown on the hologram that is formed by Pearl's gemstone.
"Our story begins with Homeworld. Homeworld is the place where all the gems orginated from and made from. On Homeworld there was an authority that ruled ever since the gems were created...those rulers were diamonds. They are three of them and they are known as: Yellow Diamond, a diamond who ruled over the east part of Homeworld and got the most technician gems of it group, she is a diamond with a combination of technician and warrior gems since she was a prodigy strategist and a great fighter when it comes to fight. Blue Diamond, a diamond who ruled over the north part of Homeworld... she got one of the most unique gems on her side and she posses a rare and unique abilities of all gems from Homeworld. White Diamond, the most powerful gem of all three and rule the west side of Homeworld... she got one of the most powerful abilities and army of all Homeworld and its one diamond that it should not be mess with by all means. All three diamonds lived one a huge and immense castle that connected all the parts of Homeworld. At the beginning they were only three rulers, but one gem was very special on Homeworld... no one knew the name of this gem... they only knew that this gem was taller than the rest of ordinary gems, a white dress, and had long, pink hair with a curly style and a pink quartz gemstone on its stomach. Once the diamonds discovered this rare gem they decided to test its abilities. In no time, this particular gem manage to summond her weapon... a shield, but that wasn't all of it, she could also summon a bubble shield that can protect her from all kind of attacks around her. The diamonds were very surprised at seeing how fast she manage to summon her weapon, the diamonds look very amazed and one day, White Diamond offered the unthinkable to this gem. She offered the gem to be part of the authority. She was very happy to hear this and of course she accepted." narrated Pearl.
"So, what do you say?" said White Diamond with smirk.
"Yes! I'll be honored to join the Great Diamond Authority!" responded the unknown gem.
"Excellent! Now that you are part of the Great Diamond Authority, what is your name?" asked White Diamond.
"Pink Diamond?" said the unknown gem. The Diamond trio laughed at hearing the response of the gem.
"Hahaha...Great joke, but you are not a diamond. You have a quartz on your stomach." said White Diamond while pointing out the gemstone.
"Oh, I know. But since I'm now part of the authority I thought it would make sense to change my name to diamond since it would make more sense." said Pink Diamond.
"Hmmm...That actually makes sense." said Blue Diamond.
"All right then...Welcome Pink Diamond. You will rule on the south part of Homeworld." stated White Diamond.
"I understand. Thank you so much for letting me be one of the rulers. Its a great honor." added Pink Diamond.
"Indeed...its a great honor." added Yellow Diamond with a smirk.
Time had passed and Pink Diamond installed all her belongings on the castle, and she putted a diamond on her stomach (it was surrounding her gemstone) and manage to see the insides part of it. It was very huge the castle that it contained a room where technician gems use to gather around and discuss projects about Homeworld, an arena for fighting were the warriors used to test their skills in combat and weapons, a room that contained same gems with the same gemstones:The Pearl gemstone; and three different large bridges that connected to all the parts of Homeworld notably the parts were the diamonds rule over.
Pink Diamond didn't like so much that her weapon is a shield, so she decided to practice some fighting skills to get stronger and soon enough she was a warrior...every gem warrior was surprised at seeing how this diamond who lacked those abilities could learn in such no time on being an excellent warrior. Not only that, but she also began to create a great, and unique type of fighting; this unique type is swinging around a complex weapon with a body that is all sharped and at the end something for the user to hold. She was the only one who could dominate that type of skill since every gem thought it wasn't their style. She earned the respects of many gems especially one in particular. Jasper always make company to Pink Diamond whenever she goes out for training, there are some occassions in which Jasper challenges Pink Diamond to spar, but Pink Diamond always rejected the challenge saying that she doesn't have any reasons to spar and will only use it when its absolutely neccessary. One time White Diamond called Pink Diamond to tell her something.
"Why did you call me White?" asked Pink Diamond.
"I call you here because your team is already assigned." stated White Diamond.
"My team?" said a very confused Pink Diamond.
"Yes...every diamond has her own team. Each team has, a service, strategist, and escourt gem that helps the diamond on certain things." explained White Diamond.
"Oh... thats nice. So, where are they?" said Pink Diamond.
"Pearl #218, Ruby, and Sapphire please come right now!" shouted White Diamond. Then three gems came out of one door. On the left there was a tall gem colored white, on the middle a short gem colored red with a headband on its hair, and finally on the right there was another short gem colored blue and had long hair that even covered her eyes.
"This is Pearl #218. She is your personal service gem...everytime you need something this gem will give it to you in a moment." said White Diamond as she presented the tall gem.
"Its a great honor to meet you, Pink Diamond." said Pearl as she bowed down.
"Oh, thanks. You don't need to bow down." said Pink Diamond with a smile. This confused Pearl, but she obeyed what Pink Diamond said.
"This is Ruby. She would be your personal escourt although she is rather short, she has an unique element power and is very strong. If she continues her training one day she will be able to take on Jasper." said White Diamond as she presented Ruby.
"Hmph! You bet that I will not let anyone hurt you." said Ruby with a serious tone.
"And finally, Sapphire. She is the strategist out of everyone. Whenever you are in trouble don't think twice on asking her help, but since you are rather good at thinking outcoming and mindblowing plans I don't think you will be in trouble, Pink." said White Diamond as she presented Sapphire.
"I'm honored to fullfill my job alongside a diamond." said Sapphire in a stoic tone.
"(Even with a straight face, she looks cute! AARGH! Why am I thinking this?!)" thought Ruby while blushing a little bit and letting out some steam. Pink Diamond noticed this.
"(Oooh, a blush?)" thought Pink Diamond with a teasing smile.
"I hope that all of you get along and don't cause too much troubles. I'll see you later, I need to something important." said White Diamond before leaving out the room.
"Don't worry, I'm sure we will be getting along." said Pink Diamond as she group hugged everyone.
Alot of time had passed and Homeworld began to grow and grow more. Everytime each gem manage to create alot of devices that are very useful. They created a type of rock that manage to contact other rock from the same type and send a message to that rock, they call it the Wailing Stone.
At the arena of Pink Diamond...
Pink Diamond was all tired by training all the sime with her new created weapon. Ruby and Sapphire only watched how Pink Diamond trained with that weird weapon.
"Because of the shield." said Sapphire. This manage to catch Ruby attention.
"Huh? What was that?" said a confused Ruby.
"You were going to say, Why is she training with that sword?! It doesn't make sense." said Sapphire.
"Are you using your future powers again?!" asked Ruby with a serious tone.
"Yes. I'm using it too see what is the purpose of that kind of combination with the weapon she created and her shield." answered Sapphire.
"I only asked the is you are using it again, not the reason." added Ruby.
"Well now you didn't, but if I only answer with a simple yes you would ask me why." added Sapphire.
"HEY! Its not funny to use those powers with me!" argued Ruby. Then Pearl came with something to wipe away the sweat of Pink Diamond.
"Here you go." said Pearl while giving that thing to Pink Diamond.
"Thanks... Pearl." said Pink Diamond.
"Yes...thanks..." said Pearl in a depressed tone. Pink Diamond noticed this and was concerned at seeing her like that.
"Pearl? Is something wrong?" asked Pink Diamond.
"Huh? No...don't worry...I shouldn't have acted like that...its not appropiate." said Pearl now getting more sad.
"Pearl...please. I don't like seeing anyone like this." said Pink Diamond. Then Pearl snapped.
"EVERYTHING! EVERYTHING ABOUT ME IS WRONG! I'M ONLY A SERVICE GEM! I CAN'T DO WHAT OTHER GEMS DO! I CAN'T SUMMON A WEAPON! I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF PEARLS ARE SUPPOSED TO HAVE A WEAPON! EACH TIME I PASS AROUND A GEM THEY ALWAYS LOOK AT ME WITH PITY! I'M TIRED OF IT! I WANT MY SERVICE TO BE USEFUL! NOT A WEAK AND DUMB GEM!" screamed Pearl. Pink Diamond was very surprised at hearing how this Pearl was so stressed and snapped like that. Ruby noticed the rant of Pearl and immediately charged at her.
"YOU DISOBIDIENT RUNT! How dare you to talk like that towards a diamond! I'm going to..." said Ruby as she began to engulf her right hand in pure flames, but was interrupted by Pink Diamond.
"WAIT! No..." said Pink Diamond as she began to walking towards Pearl. Pearl immediately got scared and bowed down.
"I'M SORRY! Please, it won't happen again! I'm not going to show any of this behaviour ever again! Please my apologies!" cried Pearl filled with fear and bowing down thinking that her life will be over, but it turns out that Pink Diamond just simply touched Pearl cheek very gently.
"No...please. You are right...you don't deserve to be treated like that." said Pink Diamond with a warm smile. This make Pearl blush.
Alot of time had passed, Pink Diamond teached Pearl how to defend herself and also to fight. It took alot of time, but Pearl manage to learn alot from Pink Diamond. Not only Pearl had progressed, but also Homeworld. They invented some pads that can warp anyone into another pad...they call it, Warp Pad. Soon enough the gems also find out that there are alot of planets far on space. White Diamond was very surprised at seeing more planets, but what surprised her the most its that Homeworld advanced alot all this time. The gems manage to find a way to produce more gems from other planets meaning that they could colonize other planets and create even more gems! Certainly every diamond knew about this and were very happy to hear it, but White Diamond was very happy to hear that they can make more gems. White Diamond immediately announced a reunion of all diamonds to discuss about that.
"We are going there." said White Diamond. Every diamond was confused of what White just said.
"What was that?" said Blue Diamond making sure she heard right.
"We need to get on those planets! We can make more gems!" said White Diamond.
"Didn't you hear what Spinel just said! We don't know how this will affect those planets!" said Yellow Diamond.
"Listen here, Yellow! Think about it...having more gems means that we can take those planets and produce even more! Soon enough the entire galaxy can be ours! More army, more technicians and more technology!" said White Diamond. All the other three diamonds were very surprised at seeing how White behaved.
"Listen White, you need to understand that we can't take that risk. Even if we did try it those planets aren't ours! Its not our right!" added Pink Diamond. The response of Pink make White a little bit angry.
"You idiot! Don't you see?! More gems means that our kind will soon grow and grow and we will be unstoppable! I mean...we don't even know if there are other kinds, but we don't have to take any risk! What if another kind is trying to take us down." said White Diamond with an angry tone.
"White..." said Pink Diamond very concerned about White behaviour.
"She is right." said Yellow Diamond. This surprised both Pink and Blue Diamond.
"What?!" said a shocked Pink Diamond.
"Look... we can make more gems, and more gems means that we can advance faster on technology. I think its worth the try at least. Besides our body is just an illusion, even if we DO get hurt we can simply retreat into our gems." said Yellow Diamond.
"Well its settled then. Blue, and Pink... only you two are left...and procure to just say yes." said White Diamond in a serious tone. Blue and Pink Diamond know that White is the most powerful so they don't want to get any trouble with her. Blue and Pink just let out a sigh and agreed.
"Good...Yellow." said White Diamond.
"What is it?" added Yellow Diamond.
"Tell your technician gems to start working on creating more Warp Pads and something big enough to make us travel on a high speed to other planets.
"I understand. I'll tell them right away." said Yellow Diamond as she standed up and exited the reunion room.
The technicians of Yellow Diamond started to work very fast on creating more Warp Pads and they finally manage to create like 3,000 of Warp pads ready to go. Not only that, but also the technician gems manage to create a huge device that can transport 100,000 gems and control it, and even travel long places; they created spaceships. After Yellow Diamond reported the spaceships are done and ready to take-off, White Diamond ordered to find a perfect place to start the project: Kindergarten. Sadly for White Diamond...they couldn't find any planet with the perfect conditions to start the Kindergarten...until they finally founded one. Planet Earth was the perfect planet to initate the Kindergarten. It was a dark age for Homeworld. Everything changed there, they began ruling with iron-fist and with fear. Everything that was joyful on Homeworld disappeared and now there was only one rule: Don't fail. And the punishment for any kind of failure will be...gem shattering.
Pink Diamond wasn't okay with that project, but since she was a diamond she have no choice. The worst of all is that Pink Diamond was assigned to check all the work of the Kindergarten on planet Earth. Pink Diamond got two spaceships ready to take-off and of course, Pearl along with Ruby and Sapphire followed her and also alot of gems who were part of Pink Diamond army. They took some Warp Pads so they could install them and easily warp back to Homeworld without the use of the ships.
When she arrived on Earth she couldn't believe what she was seeing. It was beautiful, there were many kinds of plants, animals, and different elements surrounding this planet. She was happy that she could stay in Earth for at least thousands of years until the Kindergarten is finished.
Alot of years had passed and finally Kindergarten was finished. When one of the gems activated one of the drills, it drilled through the ground and an immense light appeared on one of the walls and revealed a hole. A gem emerged from that whole. Everyone was shocked...they couldn't believe what they saw. A gem coming out from a wall... it was simply amazing. However Pink Diamond noticed that some of the plants on the Kindergarten began to lose its color and finally die. Each time Homeworld created more gems it sucked up the energy of planet Earth and Pink Diamond could feel it...she could feel how planet Earth slowly began to die.
One time she couldn't bare what she saw. Soon all the wildlife that surrounded Kindergarten began to die...everything the flowers, the plants, the trees, and the animals began to flee from the place or die. It wasn't right...they were destroying and massacring the planet. She couldn't bare it...especially when she discovered that there were life on that planet.
She tried to convice the diamonds to cancel the Kindergarten, but it fell on deaf ears. Neither the three diamonds wanted to cancel the project...they were already so far that theres no returning back. When Pink Diamond told them about the humans they simply laughed. Pink Diamond couldn't bare it anymore... she ran as fast as she can far away from Homeworld. Pearl noticed this and decided to follow her.
On the Strawberry fields...
Pearl was surprised at seeing this place, it had alot of plants, bushes, and was filled with strawberries. Then Pearl noticed that Pink Diamond was jumping some floating hills and she decide to follow her doing the same. Pink Diamond was simply sitting there crying all depressed. Pearl finally manage to see Pink Diamond and she jumped where Pink Diamond was. She manage to land safetly, but of course Pink Diamond knows about Pearl pressence. Pink Diamond immediately standed up and Pearl bowed down.
"Pearl..." said Pink Diamond.
"Yes?" said Pearl.
"I'm going to...fight for this planet." said Pink Diamond with a sad face. Pearl was atonished by what Pink Diamond just said.
"Listen...you don't have to fight along with me." said Pink Diamond.
"But...but...I want to do it too." said Pearl. Pink Diamond was surprised at what Pearl just said. Secretly Pearl has feelings for Pink Diamond ever since Pink Diamond teach her how to defend herself and fight. For the first time someone make her feel like she was important instead of a service gem. It make her feel like she was...everything.
After Pearl and Pink Diamond small conversation on the Strawberry Hills, Pink Diamond made her mind. She won't let that the diamonds destroy the home of the people who live in here. Now...her top priority was to find some gem soldiers willing to protect Earth from Homeworld. In no time, Pink Diamond manage to create a huge group thanks to her motivation. Pink Diamond was also known to be one of the best speakers...she truly had a voice of a great leader. Pink Diamond ordered to all of her loyal soldiers to retreat to the Planet Earth since she needed to do something first.
On Homeworld , at the Reunion room...
Every diamond was sitting there seemingly waiting for Pink Diamond. Finally, a door opened and revealed Pink Diamond with an angry face.
"It took ya long enough!" said Yellow Diamond with a serious yet annoyed tone.
"All right enough delaying the time and lets get to the point. Why did you bring us here, Pink?" said White Diamond. Pink Diamond simply just gave her an angry stare.
"I'll ask you one more time: Please stop the Kindergarten. We are destroying the home of the humans! Its not correct." said Pink Diamond with a serious and intimidating tone. All the diamonds simply stare at Pink Diamond with an amused face.
"Pink...don't tell me that you care about those pathetic humans?" said Blue Diamond.
"ITS NOT RIGHT! Thats their home and we are invading it!" shouted Pink Diamond.
"So what! LISTEN HERE! The answer is NO! I don't care what happends to those humans, but we are not canceling this! Since you are part of the Diamond authority I'll forgive your insolence. BUT! I don't want you to ask us to cancel this ANYMORE! YOU GOT THAT!" shouted White Diamond. Pink Diamond simply stared at her.
"Very well...you leave me no choice." said Pink Diamond. Then without warning, Pink Diamond punched White Diamond straight to the face breaking her nose made of crystal in the process. Not only that, but the hit was so hard that it send her towards a chair and crashed there.
"You are wrong White! Awfully wrong! I don't want to hurt anyone, I don't want to hurt my own kind or at least the three of you. You'll see your mistakes soon enough, but right now if it means going to war against my own kind to protect the Earth so be it!" said Pink Diamond. Immediately Blue and Yellow went into a fighting stance.
"PINK! ARE YOU INSANE?! Are you seriously going to turn against us?!" said Blue Diamond.
"QUIET! I'm no longer Pink Diamond. You will now address me as Rose Quartz, leader of the Crystal Gems the gems who will protect Earth!" stated Rose Quartz as she quickly made a high jump and escaped the castle. When she was outside the castle she disappeared the diamond on her stomach. Blue and Yellow started to chase her, but were stopped by White.
"STOP!" shouted White Diamond. Yellow and Blue Diamond got surprised at seeing how White let Rose escape so easily.
"If she really wants a war...then she is going to have a war. WE NEED TO REUNITE EVERY WARRIOR FROM OUR DIVISION! We need to show them no mercy!" said White Diamond with a wicked and sadistic smile.
At the Strawberry Fields...
A lot of gems were reunited there and were talking alot until they got quiet when they saw Rose Quartz approaching them.
"My dear gems...today all of you know will address me as Rose Quartz. I'm no longer a member of the Diamond Authority. Tomorrow we'll be the offical beginning of the war. The War between the Crystal Gems and the Great Diamond Authority. If anyone feels that they are not in the place of war...then you may leave. I'm not going to lie, this war will be devastating and possibly will be one of the worst experiences all of us are going to have. BUT! Don't let your hearts get filled with fear, we need to stand up and fight! Because the fear only tells our weakness and in that way, we get stronger and learn from our mistakes! We are fighting for a worthy reason and I know that if we put our minds to it, We will be victorious of this war! Because we are the Crystal Gems and we'll always save the day!" shouted Rose!
Everyone was very motivated by Rose's speech. They all cheered and were determined to fight along with Rose Quartz...even if that means not returning back to home. They knew that tragedies will occur, but they will be able to get over it and win the war for good! THEY WILL PROTECT EARTH!
(End of the Flashback) Inside of Steven's House (5:49 P.M)...
"...And that was the story of Rose Quartz." said Pearl as she ended narrating the story. Steven and Connie were simply shocked at seeing the story be displaying by the hologram tha tis formed of Pearl's gemstone.
"What...about the war?" said Connie still very shocked.
"Well... I think its better if we show that to Steven and you once you are grown up." said Pearl with a nervous tone. Steven still sit there all motionless... he couldn't believe what he saw and everyone noticed this.
"Steven...we understand if you are mad at us or very disappointed at us... so we don't blame you if you think bad of us." said Pearl. Thanks to Pearl's sentence this made Steven get out of his trance.
"...No! No! I would never think that of all of you. Mom did the right thing on trying her best to convice White that she was doing the bad thing." said Steven.
"So...you aren't mad at us?" asked Pearl just to be sure Steven doesn't lie.
"Of course not! I would never be mad at all of you. Just like mom said, even if our hearts are filled with fear we should always stand up and fight." said Steven. This make everyone really happy and they got tears on their eyes, but those were tears of joy.
"Oh Steven. I'm so proud of you.." said Pearl as she began to hug Steven. Everyone proceed to do the same and hug Steven. Steven gave them a little warm smile and close his eyes.
(I will always love you guys...no matter what.)" thought Steven.
At Space...
"EARTH LOCATED! NOW CALCULATING THE TIME LEFT TO ARRIVE... *beep* *type* *beep* 25 HOURS! 25 HOURS AND 29 MINUTES WITH 30 SECONDS! COMPLETE MY MISSION...COMPLETE MY MISSION!" said the weapon was it was traveling through Neptune and advancing every second.
