"I don't understand. Kenny ate Aquamarine? But you somehow have her?" Shinnok asked.

"No, I asked where the blue one was. Not my own daughter." Jarek said.

"You what?" Shinnok said.

"I told her everything right before I left the castle." Jarek said.

"And how did she take it? Not well?" Shinnok said.

"She was confused at first, and she even thought I was gonna leave her, and her sisters, but I'm not gonna do that. As their father, I won't do that. I may not be father of the year, but I sure won't leave them." Jarek said.

"Touching." Shinnok said, unimpressed.

"Would you leave your own children if you ever had any?" Jarek asked.

"No. I was one before." Shinnok said.

"You were a father too? When?" Jarek said.

"Long before earthrealm ever existed." Shinnok said.


(NOW - 5/29/2017) ; Crystal Temple

Jarek, and Shinnok reappeared where the warp pad was.

"Wait, oops. I hit the wrong destination." Jarek said.

"Oh, this is what I waited for?!" Shinnok said.

"Hey, even I make mistakes. You're the one who resurrected me as a zombie." Jarek said.

"You weren't a zombie. You'll know if I turn you into one." Shinnok said.

"I'm sure. Because the dead don't sleep. Yes, I hated that. Let's head back to the castle. I have a confession to make." Jarek said.

"Jarek, before you do anything else, just think for a minute." Shinnok said.

Jarek stopped walking once at the front door, and looked at him.

"What is it you intend to do? Have Black Diamond keep the amethysts? Kill them?" Shinnok asked.

"Well, I felt it would be more responsible to talk to her, and break up with her there, rather than just simply erase everything. I thought of that at first, but then I thought of handling it more constructively." Jarek said as he opened the door.

Shinnok face palmed.

"This will never work. Why do I help that boy?" He said to himself.

"Because he saved you, and led you to victory against the gods."

"Ugh, don't remind me, mother." He said before following.


(Beach City)

Black Diamond was walking angrily, wearing a tattered dress, missing her high heels, and there were hurt marks on her face.

Arief reloaded his hive boomer, and aimed at her.

She snatched it out of his hands, and then punched him twice in the face.

Arie bit her left hand.

(CRUNCH!)

Black Diamond screamed as she started hitting him with the gun.

Jarek, and Shinnok appeared in the nick of time, with Jarek shooting a blast of orange energy at Black Diamond, which struck her in the black, doing little damage to her.

She fell forward, and looked over at the two. Arief looked too.

"What a cheap shot! Where were you! I have been looking all over for you!" Black Diamond said.

"We need to talk. (At Arief) Arief, leave!" Jarek said.

"But Jarek, my throne is gone." Ariefh said.

"Run away or something! Look, I ain't got time for this!" Jarek said.

"Oh no you don't!" Black Diamond said, shooting him twice with the hive boomer.

Arief fell forward.

"Ulyssa, STOP!" Jarek said, snatching the gun from her, and puting it in his phone.

"I can't believe you! You fought against a champion!" Jarek said.

"Champion?! Of what?" She said.

"One of my best fighters. Look, I have something serious to tell you, let's go to the castle right now." Jarek said.

"No, let's do it here. What's so important that we have to go to the castle to do it?" She asked.

"I'm breaking up with you!" Jarek said, releasing Magma Amethyst, Tundra Amethyst, and Orange Aquamarine.

"Huh?" Orange Aquamarine asked.

"What'd he say?" Tundra asked.

"Beats me." Magma said.

"You're breaking up with me? What gave you the idea to do that?" Black Diamond said.

"Yeah, what's up?" Tundra asked, confused.

"The only reason our relationship started was because I broke us out of Homeworld prison, and then I told you I would go out with you if we did succeed in getting away. Over time, I realized I was only making myself believe I liked you the same way you liked me. And the reality of that is : I'm only lying to you that way. I was gonna tell you sooner, but then you went and made these gems here without telling me or even having my okay for it. Now I know, it's not their fault that they exist, but I told you I didn't want to start a family with you at the moment." Jarek said.

"Oh what the fuck?!" Magma said before she walked off.

"Magma!" Jarek said.

"It's true.. " Orange Aquamarine said, tilting her head down.

"HOW DARE YOU!" Tundra said before shooting an ice blast at him, in which Jarek dodged it.

"Tundra, don't!" Black Diamond stopped her.

"He clearly doesn't love us!" Tundra argued.

"Damn it, Tundra, I didn't fucking say that! I said I didn't want to have you guys created, but you guys were made anyway. And I'm not gonna get rid of you guys like Shinnok, and the stupid Gorgon thought I would." Jarek said.

"If you love us, then prove it!" Tundra said, with tears in her eyes. She was angry for sure.

"How would he be able to do that? Tundra, shut up!" Black Diamond said.

"No, stop guys!" Jarek said, defusing the upcoming argument.

"I didn't say I don't love you! But I don't have those feelings for her anymore." Jarek said to Tundra.

"So you're really gonna split up with me? Really? After everything we went through together?" Black Diamond asked, frowning.

"What did we go through together?" Jarek asked.

Black Diamond gave him the bruh face.

"Besides the space prison, and the little break ups you forced upon me in the past?" Jarek asked.

"Guys. I know you two are mad at each other, but we have something else to worry about!" Orange Aquamarine said, seeing a flying ship, landing beside him. This one looked damaged, and broken, like Thrall had been banging their fists on it.

Steve came out of the ship, with Michael, and Michelle, they appeared to be unscathed.

"Oh Jarek! Thank the stars we found you! Look, we were captured by the hive, but we escaped! Where's Steven?!" Steve asked.

"Wait, what what what what now?" Jarek asked.

"Excuse me, we're in the middle of breaking up!" Black Diamond said.

"Shush!" Jarek said to her.

"Don't (hit!) shush me!" Black Diamond said, hitting him on the right shoulder.

"Guys, Blue, and Yellow Diamond are coming this way! And if we don't warn Steven, they'll kill him!" Steve said.

"Wait, how do you know that?" Black Diamond asked.

"Because we escaped from her on the moon! She's close by, but the hive are keeping her busy!" Steve said.

"Wait, HIVE?! Wait wait wait, Hive like Arief?" Jarek said.

"I don't fricking know! Look, I gotta go find Steven, finish your breakup and meet me at the crystal temple!" Steve said.

Jarek and Black Diamond looked at each other in total WTF as Steve ran off.

"I'm really sorry for you two. My dad's stupid." Michelle said.

"Totally." Michael said.

"You're not lying. Make sure he doesn't do anything else stupid, please?" Jarek said.

"We try everytime." Michael said before following Steve.

"I'm staying behind! To watch the ship!" Michelle said to Steve.

"Fine!" Steve said in the background.

"You know those break ups weren't serious. And I am sorry you died when I left you on my planet. I really am. I wish I hadn't left you behind, and told you to leave then. You wouldn't have died by Yellow's hands if I had.. if I had just listened." Black Diamond said.

"No, that would have happened anyway. I was pretty bold to go out there, and just fight like nothing." Jarek said.

"You fight like that all the time, and you always come out alive. Beaten, but alive." Black Diamond said.

"Look, it's over between us. That's the bottom line here. It's better for you, and for me." Jarek said.

Orange Aquamarine sniffled, upset at this.

"So you're just gonna turn around, and abandon us? What about your castle?" Tundra asked.

"You can have the castle. It's well guarded, and I violated my father's last wish by putting it there. I know where to go for me." Jarek said.

"And that is where?" Black Diamond asked, with her arms crossed.

"Not telling you." Jarek said.

"Jesus, dude!" She said.

"I mean it. It's for me to know." Jarek said.

"But dad, what about us?" Orange Aquamarine asked.

"Who do you want to stay with? Me or her?" Jarek asked.

Orange Aquamarine, and Tundra thought for a minute.

"I want to be with her." Tundra said.

"Me too." Orange Aquamarine said.

"Wait!" Magma said, running back to them.

They looked at her.

"I want to stay with you." Magma said to Jarek.

"Huh, since she said that, you gotta tell us where you're gonna be staying at." Black Diamond said.

Jarek shook his head and looked down.
