Blue Diamond was just about to pull Yellow Diamond's gem right out of her chest, until she felt a sharp object jab her right in her palm. The giant blue Gem took her hand away from her yellow counterpart's chest to examine her palm; there was a small yellow spear lodged right in the middle of it, which quickly dissipated into nothingness.

"KEEP AWAY FROM MY DIAMOND!"

Blue Diamond looked down to the ground and saw Yellow Diamond's hideous little Pearl. Blue Diamond sneered and swatted the yellow Pearl away with a quick wave of her hand. The disgusting little yellow Pearl yelled an agonizing yell as she was sent flying across the atrium, crashed into a wall, and poofed into a cloud of musky yellow smoke. Her Gem—a tiny, insignificant yellow pearl—fell from down to the ground and right next to the feet of Blue Diamond's Pearl. She looked down at the little yellow Gem, and with another small, gentle smile…

She lifted up her foot, and stomped right on the Gem of Yellow Diamond's Pearl, smashing it to pieces.

Blue Diamond then rushed to the massive bubble she wrapped around Agate, the Quartzes, and the humans, looked at them all with her large yet gentle eyes, and gave the bubble a gentle tap. The big blue bubble disappeared, its passengers having no idea where they were being sent to.

"Y-You think that'll s-s-save them!?" Yellow Diamond yelled out, shivering as she struggled to get up from the floor. "D-Did you forget what I s-said I'd do…if you didn't c-c…comply?"

"C-Considering neither of u-us has that much…t-time left," Blue Diamond said, looking at the shards starting to flake off her Gem, "I don't think…you'll be doing t-that anytime soon."

"H-Heh… Heh, heh… I'm the commander of the H-Homeworld Army for a…f-for a….reason…"

"W-What do you…mean?"

"I knew you c-c…c-couldn't do it… That's why…after I went b-back to my s-ship the first time…I told her…e-everything…"

Blue Diamond's eyes widened.

"You…can't escape…," Yellow Diamond said, falling to the ground. "S-She's…coming… Our Diamond…is coming…"

The big blue bubble that held Agate, the Quartzes, and the humans inside appeared within Blue Diamond's arm-shaped ship. The bubble dissipated as in came into contact with the ground, and its contents split all over the floor; the humans all groan and wheezed, trying to catch their breath after colliding with the cold, blue metal floor of the ship. Most of the Quartzes were okay, however, for they ended up inadvertently using the humans to break their fall.

"What the heck was that just now!?" an Amethyst said, getting off of a human she landed on.

"Calm down!" the skinny Jasper said.

"How do you expect me to be calm after two Diamonds just cracked each other right before my eyes!?"

"Are you really that surprised? I told you she was going crazy, didn't I?"

"But what was Yellow Diamond even doing here?"

"Who cares!? In case you didn't notice, she just got cracked!"

"Well, what do you want me to do about it!? Fly back to the zoo and uncrack her!?"

"Uh, guys? Now isn't the time to worry about that right now… It looks like we've got a whole issue on our hands right now!"

The humans ran up to and huddled around the Gem soldiers, and started to bombard them with questions about what just transpired. They curiosity was expected, but it was no less a hassle for the poor Quartzes:

"What is this place!? What happened to our home!?"

"I want to go back to the green grass and the sparkling waters!"

"Why did the blue goddess strike the yellow goddess!?"

"Will there be enough time for the next Choosening?"

"C-Calm down, okay!?" the skinny Jasper yelled. "Nobody panic! Everything's going to be fine, alright?"

"Then why is your pointy-haired leader shaking in the corner?" a human asked, pointing at a nearby corner.

All the Quartzes looked at the specimen that was cowering in the corner: It was Holly Blue Agate. The Gems gave each other puzzled looks; they're been used to Agate being full of confidence and boldness that to see her crouching in a corner, alone and afraid, was something not even they thought was funny. The skinny Jasper slowly crept up to the whimpering Agate, and gave her a tap on the shoulder. Agate didn't respond.

"H-Holly?" the skinny Jasper asked. "Are… Are you okay?"

"Of course I'm not, you dolt…," Agate said. "Something horrible has happened. Something that's never happened before… A Diamond attacking and…c-cracking another Diamond. My Diamond…attacking and cracking another Diamond…and t-then…force of the blow caused her Gem to crack, as well…"

"We know, Holly," Jasper said. "It's okay, we just have—"

"NO, IT'S NOT OKAY!" Holly yelled, getting up from the corner and grasping the Jasper, startling the rest of the Quartzes and even the humans. "Don't you get it!? My Diamond—your Diamond—has just done the unthinkable!"

"Holly, you've got to calm down!" an Amethyst said. "There's nothing we can do for either of them, even if we were down there."

"Then what are we supposed to do!?" Holly asked.

"I-I… I don't know…," the Amethyst replied.

"Um, guys?" the Carnelian said, looking out the wide window of Blue Diamond's ship. "What is that?"

Everybody directed their attention to outside the window, where they saw the vast, beautiful expanse that was outer space. Millions upon billions of stars dotted the dark, infinite landscape, and planets and other such celestial bodies could be seen from afar as well. But none of that is what caught the attention of the newfound passengers of Blue Diamond's arm-shaped ship. It wasn't the desolate, crystalline structure that was the Human Zoo, and it wasn't the ominous, sun-sized Red Eye that was beginning to look around the area erratically, either. In fact, in wasn't even Yellow Diamond's ship—a massive yellow arm with its hand balled up in a tight fist, which was wrapped around the zoo—that caught their eyes. No, everybody's attention was focused on something completely different. It was the giant entity that was right above the zoo, the Red Eye, and Yellow Diamond's ship.

It turned out to be another appendage-shaped spaceship, but this time, instead of a full arm, it was only hand. But as silly as these vessels sounded—with them being designed to appear like hands and arms and such—it didn't make this new ship any less intimidating in appearance. The hand was absolutely massive; it managed to cast a shadow over the Red Eye, and the entirety of Yellow Diamond's ship and the Human Zoo at all once. Each one of its long, spindly fingers ended in a point that looked like they could cut through steel beams with a single swipe, and even the mere position the hand was in just drove how horrifying it was even further: it looked like it was about to grab the zoo, the eye, and Yellow Diamond's ship. The hand looked like it was about to just scoop the structures into its massive palm, and crush them all to bits.

And there was one last, defining feature of the hand that was arguably the most horrifying of all to Holly Blue Agate, the Carnelian, the Amethysts, the Jaspers, and probably even the humans. It was a feature that managed to send the once jovial and carefree Quartz soldiers in a complete and utter frenzy, the stern and strict Agate back in the corner to cower, and the humans confused and helpless. It was one last, defining feature that signified the arrival of something nobody, not even a Sapphire, could've predicted…

The color of the massive hand was a stark, glistening white.
