Yellow Diamond coughed and wheezed as she dragged herself from the atrium through the curving corridor. She left a trail of tiny, glittery yellow shards behind her, for the gem in her chest was slowly withering away due to the damage Blue Diamond inflicted on it. The giant Gem eventually reached the door to the room where Pink Diamond's Quartz soldiers were held, but she was on the verge of completely keeling over. The gash in her gem was getting larger and larger; the pain was beginning to affect her entire body. Yellow gave it one little tap, and that was more than enough for her to let out a blood-curling yell of pure pain and agony.
"D-Damn you, Blue!" Yellow Diamond cried.
It took a lot of effort, but she managed to make a gesture coherent enough with her hands to open up the door to the room, but that's when she saw it. She saw the gargantuan White Diamond in the middle of the room, and Blue Diamond suspended in midair and surrounded by a white, blinding light.
"My…Diamond?" Yellow said. "W-What are you…doing?"
"Ah, there you are, Yellow," White Diamond said, apparently not noticing the horrible shape Yellow Diamond was in. "You're just in time, too."
"Just in t-time? For… For what?"
White Diamond snickered, and with a snap of her fingers the light surrounding Blue Diamond disappeared, and she fell to the ground. Yellow hobbled over to her blue counterpart and slowly but surely propped her back up on her feet. She gave her a little inspection, and didn't she anything out of the ordinary and out of place. Even her gem, which was cracked from the aftershock of her attack on Yellow, appeared to be perfectly fine and unscathed.
"Blue?" Yellow Diamond asked. "C-Can you hear me?"
White Diamond snickered once more.
"Don't worry, she'll start talking again soon," she said.
"...What have you done to her?"
"Oh, I just gave her mind a little purge, that's all. Although...there were some things in there I found that I personally didn't like... So I got rid of all that, too."
Yellow's eyes widened. She started shaking Blue by her shoulders and repeatedly slapping her in the face, yelling at her to wake up. White Diamond just stood back and continued to snicker, and eventually that snicker turned into an outright cackle that echoed throughout the entire zoo.
"B-Blue, please!" Yellow Diamond yelled. "Snap out of it!"
Blue began to blink her eyes at an alarmingly rapid pace, then stopped instantly as she stared long at Yellow Diamond's face. Blue then gave Yellow a nasty sneer, and pushed the yellow Gem to the ground.
"What the hell were you just doing to me, Yellow?" Blue Diamond asked in a surprisingly gruff and angry tone. "You know I don't like to be touched. What are you doing here, anyway? ...Wherever 'here' is."
"B-Blue...," Yellow Diamond quivered, "y-you've been to this room every day...for the past five...f-five thousand years..."
Blue Diamond raised an eyebrow.
"And why exactly would I do something like that?" Blue Diamond asked.
"What? Blue, l-look above you! T-They're Pink's gems! You know, the ones you've k-kept in here bubbled to preserve her l-legacy?"
"...Who's legacy?"
"PINK'S! P-PINK DIAMOND'S!"
"...Have you gone mental, Yellow? There's never been a 'Pink Diamond' in our ranks."
Yellow Diamond's eyes widened. White Diamond gave out another loud cackle, catching the attention of Blue Diamond, who immediately stood at attention and formed a diamond formation with her hands.
"Oh! My apologies, my Diamond," Blue Diamond said, "I didn't see you there."
"For once I'll let it slide, dear Blue," White Diamond said, "after all, I've quite enjoyed this little show you and Yellow have been putting on for me."
"I assure you, my Diamond, it will never happen again," Blue Diamond said, turning to Yellow. "What are you doing? Have you any idea who's standing right in front of us!?"
"I-I...don't care," Yellow said, grabbing onto Blue's shoulder again. "S-She's done something to you, Blue... But I don't b-believe it..."
Yellow's legs started to buckle, and horse coughs began escaping her mouth. She fell to the floor once again, and even more tiny shards were beginning to flake off fro the gem in her chest.
"D-Don't you...remember her...? She was...y-your...our...friend...," Yellow said, as she closed her eyes for what seemed like the final time.
Blue Diamond rolled her eyes and shook her head, then turned back to White Diamond to give her a bow.
"Forgive me, my Diamond, but it seems Yellow's gotten sloppy again," she said. "If you don't mind me asking, can you fix her gem for her? I honestly can't stand the sight of that giant crack in it."
"I couldn't have said it better myself," White Diamond said, snapping her fingers.
A white light surrounded Yellow Diamond, and in a flash the giant crack in her gem had vanished. The light dissipated, and Yellow gave out a loud gasp, and was back on her feet once again. But she didn't care to give White an ounce of praise, and clenched her fists and gritted her teeth at the giant White Diamond.
"Blue?" Yellow Diamond said.
"Yes?" Blue Diamond said.
"Do you mind if I speak to our Diamond in private?"
"Fine. Come along, Pearl. ...Pearl? Pearl, get over here!"
Blue Diamond walked out the door. Her little Pearl scurried past Yellow Diamond and went out the door, as well, but Yellow noticed something rather peculiar about her Pearl: Her face was dripping wet with tears.
"This isn't what we agreed on," Yellow Diamond said. "You didn't say anything about wiping her memory!"
"I fail to see what the problem is, to be honest," White Diamond said, yawning. "This is what you wanted, isn't it? For her to forget all about this and go back to playing leader?"
"Yes, but not...not in this way! Change her back... I want you to... I want you to change her back!"
The gargantuan white Gem scoffed.
"Even if I wanted to it would be impossible," she said. "Her memories of Pink Diamond have been completely erased from her mind. Even if she tried to remember her, nothing would happen; to her, it's as if Pink never existed at all."
White Diamond bent down to get closer to Yellow's ugly face.
"Now, after all these millennia, we can get finally get back to important matters," she said. "But just so we're clear I also decided to let this structure stand an the humans and Quartz soldiers live."
White Diamond stood back upright and her Pearl hopped onto her shoulder, she snapped her fingers and a white light started to envelope the two of them.
"W-Where do you think you're going?" Yellow yelled. "You can't just leave! What about Blue!?"
White Diamond and her Pearl cackled in unison.
"All this incessant talking about Blue... It would be pretty hilarious it it wasn't so sad," White said. "But the ironic thing about it is this: In the end, who was this whole debacle really about? Blue...or you?"
The white light got brighter and brighter, an eventually in culminated in a massive flash that Yellow Diamond had to cover her eyes for, let she would've been blinded. She uncovered her eyes, and the light was gone. White Diamond and her Pearl were gone. Yellow was all alone inside the big pink room of the human zoo. The only other entities inside there besides her were the Gems of Pink Diamond, still bubbled and floating around the room. Yellow Diamond looked at the little Gems, and started to get a little warm feeling in her chest, and she smiled a little at them and said...
"Breakable after all."
But that smile quickly became a frown...and that feeling in her chest quickly became cold and bitter...and Yellow Diamond feel to the floor again, and she stared to cry for what seemed like hours.
