(Dream)
Female voice - "Hello?"
"(singsongy) ~ Steven.. ~ "
"Wakey wakey."
"(singsongy) ~ Rise up as one.. march toward the sun. ~"
Steven opened his eyes, hearing those words.
He saw he was floating in what look like an endless black void.
Then he saw three circles in the background, with a faint shade of green filling them.
"Um.. hi?" He said.
"You remember my voice, don't you? The TVs on earth?" The voice said.
Steven thought for a minute.
"Wait, are you the lady who was asking what my uhh… truth is?" He asked, barely remembering.
"Very good. Now, can you see my eyes?" She asked.
"Uh, I think so. All I see are three giant circles. They kinda look like suns." Steven said.
Then the three circles blinked, starting with the left, middle, then right.
"Those are my eyes. Listen to me very carefully : there's only one way to convince White Diamond into coming to earth with you. And that is to convince her to leave her own head." The voice spoke.
"What do you mean- -oh.. her giant ship." Steven said, realizing the answer to his own question.
"Kind of, I meant it literally. She doesn't listen to anyone, because she believes herself to be perfect. You must show her that you are not what she thinks you are." The voice said.
"Why are you telling meon one Who are you?" Steven asked.
"I am your guardian angel, you learned the truth about Pink Diamond, you learned that you carry your mother's gem, but White does not see it that way. She thinks Pink is hiding in your body." The voice said.
"What is your name?" Steven asked.
"No names. All you need to know is, you're not alone. I will see you again soon.
Sweet dreams, O'Hero Mine."
(Reality)
Steven awoke, still lying on the bed the pebbles made for him.
Victoria was still asleep, with Hunter sitting beside her side of the bed.
The lights in the room were off, so the only lighting was from outside, where the night sky shone through the open window, slightly illuminating the room.
There was a small little rainbow worm with antennas, sleeping on top of Victoria's pillow.
"Aww." He said, petting it. The caterpillar didn't wake up, it just snored.
Steven tossed & turned, going back to sleep.
(2nd Dream)
Steven was sitting on a giant slice of lasagna, floating in space, above earth.
"What the? Why am I sitting on a slice of lasagna?" He said, looking at the lasagna beneath him. He grabbed a piece, and ate it. "Mmm!"
Then he saw several floating slices of.. pink lasagna around him.
"Oh jeez." He said, suddenly feeling sick to his stomach.
Steve was holding his butt (figuratively), flying away, with clouds shooting from it.
"Ewwww!" Steven said, chuckling.
Then all the slices of lasagna started falling down to the planet below.
"Aaaaaaaah!" He screamed, then he gasped for air as he couldn't breathe.
(Reality)
Victoria was laying on top of Steven, her armor appearing to be heavy on him.
"(SNORE!)"
Steven's muffled grunts could be heard.
Hunter heard the grunts, and awoke. He saw what was going on.
He pulled Victoria away from Steven, also awakening her. Steven gasped for air, as he started catching his breath.
"Vic, you were laying on him." He said.
She looked at Steven.
"Oh, I'm sorry!" She said, taking her armor off of her body, revealing her black tank top.
"It's okay. Just please don't lay on me again." Steven said.
"It won't happen again, I promise!" She said. She removed the rest of her armor, stripping down to her black shorts, and white socks. "Phew!"
Victoria laid on her side once again.
Hunter sat against the wall, and closed his eyes, crossing his arms.
Steven closed his eyes, and slowly drifted off to sleep.
(Dream)
Steven was seen standing on a balancing ball, juggling bubbles that had various items in them consisting of : a bag chaaaps!, his mc bear bear plush, and his ukulele.
Pink Pearl was watching with an amazed look on her face.
Steven did a cool flip jump away from his ball, and landed gracefully on the floor. He blew a kiss to Pink Pearl.
She clapped happily in applause.
Just then the doors opened, and Yellow's head appeared. She frowned at the two.
Pink Pearl was patting Steven's outfit, in front of the mirrors.
Yellow extended her neck in a long, worm-like animation, stopping once she was really close to the two.
Steven smiled, and waved to Yellow, causing her to smile back, and retract her neck.
Steve was at the doorway, wearing a 60's biker costume. He grabbed Yellow's hand, and walked her out of the room.
[DOOR CLOSES!]
Steven fake-frowned at Pink Pearl, making her laugh, he joined in.
Steven started coughing, like something was caught in his throat. He coughed out a chunk of pink hair.
Then everything turned white.
White Diamond's entire body glowed intensely bright, enough to blind anyone.
Steven started coughing uncontrollably, falling to his knees, on all fours.
He started vomiting chunks of pink hair.
"Now Starlight. This has gone on long enough." White said, shooting a beam of white energy from her eyes.
A glacier formed, blocking the beam.
Steven panted, looking at Jarek in front of him, who appeared to be missing his left arm, and part of his left face was badly scratched, and scarred up.
"I'm sorry, Steven!" Jarek said again, this time, his hair rose, and he basically went super saiyan.
(Ren - Wait, how was you turning into a super saiyan? You ain't goku.
Me - It's literally a dream. I became a super saiyan, based off of what he saw back at the beach when we did the kamehameha struggle.
Ren - Damn. You should do that more then.)
White Diamond shot her eye beam again, this time Jarek was easily consumed by it.
"NOOOOO!"" Steven said, reaching for him.
Then the blast ended, and Jarek's body hung, while floating slightly above ground. He rose up, like a ragdoll or a puppet.
"(WD Voice) So sad. So close." Jarek said, before grabbing Steven.
(Reality)
Steven gasped, rising up from his slumber.
Kenny was sitting against a wall, next to the door.
"K-Kenny?!" Steven said, relieved to see him.
"Hey kiddo." Kenny said.
Steven jumped off the bed, and ran to him.
Kenny was met with a hug.
"Finally, this skirt fits me!" Green said, checking herself out in one of the mirrors that was there.
"Can you please tell me why you had that costume in the first place?" Orange asked.
"I got it a long time ago." Green said.
"And why such a short skirt?" Orange asked.
"I don't know! Stop asking me!" Green said.
"I think there's more to why you had it in the first place. Was it to look attractive?" Orange asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Excuse you, but I am already beautiful! I don't need to look attractive!" Green said, flustered.
"Was it for Adamantine?" Orange asked, smiling viciously.
"Ew, never! I had to poof her because she's a pervert!" Green said.
"Guys, can you keep it down?" Victoria said, half awake.
"Sorry." Orange said.
"Besides, no one's gonna look at Green anyway, yugh." Victoria said.
"Why you!" Green said, running to her.
Victoria grabbed her wester-34, and aimed right for her. She pulled the trigger once.
"(CH-OME!)" The blaster sounded.
(Ren - Wait, she got a jango fett gun?
Me - Yes, she's a bounty hunter.)
Green stopped in her tracks.
"That's close enough." Victoria said.
Green snapped her fingers.
(Pop!)
Where Victoria once laid, now rested an apple.
"Hey! Change me back!" Victoria said.
"Oh lord." Kenny said. "Where's Geras when I need him?"
Green snapped her fingers again, changing Victoria back into her normal form.
"Kenny, I have to go and talk to White Diamond." Steven said.
"I think your Pearl said to wait first." Victoria said.
"I can't! The corrupted gems on earth need our help! There has to be a way to get inside of her ship!" Steven said.
"I know the way in. But it won't be easy, and yellow & blue will get in the way." Green said.
"How? Can you show me?" Steven asked.
"Eeeee, alright." Green said.
Yellow Pearl - "Are you sure about this?"
Steve - "Yes, just do it! It'll be funny!"
(Yellow Diamond's Castle)
Yellow, and Steve were both sleeping in their bed together, when the alarm went off, on Yellow's bedside table.
"Hon, the alarm." Steve said, trying to wake her.
"(Sleepily) Mmm... " Yellow didn't budge.
A minute passed, and Steve went over to her bedside, and hit dismiss, on the alarm.
He left the room, and came back with a cup of coffee.
He gently shook Yellow's shoulder, waking her up.
"I brought you some coffee." He said, handing her the cup.
"Decaf?" She said.
"Yeah." Steve said.
Yellow sipped on it, waking up fully.
They heard three knocks, three times on the door.
"(knock!) (knock!) (knock!) My diamond? (knock!) (knock!) (knock!) My diamond? (knock!) (knock!) (knock!) My diamond?" Yellow Pearl's voice was heard.
"Oh just come in!" Yellow Diamond said, annoyed.
Steve started laughing.
"[Does diamond salute] Forgive me, my diamond! [points at Steve] He made me do it!" Yellow Pearl said.
"Ugh, I know. It has Steve written all over it!" Yellow Diamond said, giving Steve an unimpressed look.
"What? I love Sheldon!" Steve said, shrugging shamelessly.
"Anyway, my diamond! The reason I came here was.. it's Pink Diamond. She's heading over to see White!" Yellow Pearl said.
"What?! Where is she?!" Yellow Diamond said.
"She's crossing Blue Diamond's Mansion right now. I'll go tell Blue to stop him!" Yellow Pearl said.
"Keep her inside until I get there!" Yellow Diamond said, getting out of bed.
"Yes, my diamond!" Yellow Pearl said, dashing away.
"(Sigh!) She doesn't know what she's getting into." Yellow Diamond dreaded.
"I think it'll be fine. White's not gonna come out and see him herself, so it makes sense why he's trying to see her himself." Steve said.
"You don't know what she's capable of." Yellow said.
"Yes I do. She failed to erase our memories, she's not so tough." Steve said.
"But if she tries again, what if you do lose your memories this time?" Yellow asked.
"Then I hope you'll make me remember you." Steve said, giving her a wink.
Yellow sighed.
"Steve, stay here where it's safe." She said.
"No way josé!" Steve said jokingly.
(Blue Diamond's Mansion)
Blue Diamond was sitting on her sofa, sipping her cup of coffee, looking out her window.
Steven was crossing a bridge.
"(To self) Is that... (gasp) Pink!" She called out to him.
Steven looked around him, in search of the voice, then he looked up and saw her.
"Hi blue! Look, I don't have a lot of time! I have to get to White's head." He said, running away.
"Wait! That's not a good idea! Stop!" Blue said.
"Poor Pink.."
Purple Diamond, now shrouded in White Diamond's energy, appeared beside Blue.
"(WD Voice) Don't worry about her. She'll be totally fine." Purple said.
"Purple!... White, let her go!" Blue said.
"No. I think I'll hang on to Purple for a while longer. She's been under her best behavior with me in control." Purple said.
Then a sand-nado appeared, and Jarek came through.
"Jarek?" Blue said.
"Oh look, Orange's organic is back. To what do we owe this pleasant surprise?" Purple said, smiling at him.
"Shinnok, and Kenny showed me everything. White's taken control of you, and I want to talk to her personally." Jarek said. He gripped a glowing crystal, hidden in his right jacket pocket.
"You can talk to me through her. And what do you mean showed you everything? I don't understand what you mean." Purple said.
"Come closer, and I'll tell you." Jarek said, giving her the come here gesture with his finger.
Purple flew over to him.
Jarek quickly swung the crystal from his pocket, and jabbed her with it.
Purple's eyes widened, she had an astonished look on her face.
The crystal absorbed White's energy, making Purple's body tremble.
Purple started to grunt and cry out in pain, now in her real voice.
The crystal gleamed with White's energy, and went straight into Jarek's body. His right wrist changed color, altering his fingernails to black, and changing the skin to white. The crystal became hollow, clear colored.
Purple fell to her knees.
"Jarek, your hand!" Blue said, seeing what happened.
"Don't worry. I got it under control." Jarek said, moving his fingers.
"T-thank you.. " Purple said, looking up at him. He lifted her up bridal style. He jumped up to the couch, and set her down on the cushion.
"I'm sorry I didn't help you sooner. I feel like I should have gone with you before, maybe this wouldn't have happened." He said to her.
"It's okay." She said, smiling weakly at him.
"So basically White Diamond just takes over people's minds and with gems, it's impossible to resist?" Jarek guessed.
"Yes, that's correct. It's another one of White's powers. She's already done it to many gems." Blue said.
"Well, she's only partially taken my hand. Can she feel whatever I do with it?" He asked.
"Yes." She said.
"Interesting.. " He said, smiling at his hand.
Blue gave him a confused face, not knowing what he had in mind.
Then the large doors opened, and Blue Pearl walked in, with Steven behind her, and two topaz guards walking beside him.
"Pink, why did you try to go alone?" Blue asked.
[DOORS CLOSE!]
"Because you and Yellow weren't gonna help me." Steven said.
"I said to wait. If we walk in uninvited, she'll throw you back in the tower, and.. she might try to shatter us!" Blue said.
"So we'll fight her back." Jarek said.
"We can't do that." She said.
"Why? Because of some stupid witch magic?" He said, wiggling his white fingers.
"Because she'll possess us, and then you." She said.
"Well, then I had a great run with you guys. But I'm stronger than I was before." Jarek said.
"How?" Steven asked.
Jarek summoned a tiny cloud of sand in his left hand.
"Sand." He said.
"That's so cool!" Steven said, amazed.
"Sand? Seriously?" Blue Diamond said, unimpressed.
Then Jarek canceled the cloud of sand in his hand, and zapped Blue Pearl, completely immobilizing her.
He moved her bangs covering her face, and saw her beautiful blue eyes.
"Wow, you're gorgeous." He said before fixing her bangs so they weren't covering her eyes anymore.
Then he zapped her again.
Blue Pearl blinked twice, before realizing what just happened.
"Huh? What just happened?" She said, looking around her.
"(Gasp!) Your eyes!" Steven said with stars in his eyes.
"My.. eyes?" Blue Pearl said, feeling her forehead, and realizing her bangs were moved.
"I've never seen you without your hair covering your eyes." Jarek said.
"I have. She's always covering her eyes with her bangs, (Sigh) Eventually I had to go with it." Blue said.
"My diamond, forgive me." Blue Pearl said, saluting her.
"BWAAAAAA-BOOF! (THUD!)" A rabbid fell from the window-sill.
"(scream) - AAAAAH! What is that thing?!" Blue Diamond said, seeing the rabbid.
"A rabbid, but how?" Jarek asked, going up to the rabbid.
The rabbid stared at him, grabbing his plunger that had fallen to the floor.
"(Gibberish) Bwa-ba-ba-ba-bah? - Are you going to kill me?" The rabbid said.
(A/N - so for any character that speaks a different language or can only communicate through grunts, noises of some sort, there will literally be a subtitle that says what they're actually trying to say..)
"... no." Jarek said, understanding him.
"What did he say?" Blue Diamond asked.
"Are you going to kill me?" Jarek told.
"Bwa-ba-bah? - Are you sure?" The rabbid said.
"Yes. Now put that plunger away." Jarek said.
"Grr bwah-buh-bwaaaaaah! - Grr Then I'll kill you!" The rabbid's eyes turned red and he got angry. He charged directly towards him.
(ZAP!)
The rabbid was stuck in place, unable to move.
Jarek snapped his fingers.
The rabbid faded away, through sand.
"(trying to channel Thanos) You should have gone for the head." He said before laughing.
Steven sighed, cringing at what he just heard.
"Now let's go see White Diamond. Just the four of us." Jarek said.
"(Sigh) Fine." Blue Diamond said.
"And also, I like Pearl without her bangs. It really suits her look." He said.
"Um... thanks." Blue Pearl said, blushing. She was more embarrassed than pleased.
Just then the giant doors opened, and Yellow Diamond came in. She looked down, and saw Jarek there.
"Oh great." Jarek said, summoning a ball of sand in his right hand.
"Yellow? What are you doing here?" Blue Diamond asked.
"I've come to stop Pink before she gets into more trouble!" Yellow Diamond said.
"What trouble? Why are you guys so scared of White? What's she done to assert dominance over you two?" Jarek asked.
"She's our matriarch, and the boss of all of us!" Yellow Diamond said.
"So if White told you to kill Steve, or Blue for that matter, would you just do that for her?" Jarek asked.
"Err, no! That's not the point!" Yellow Diamond said.
"I think this is the point, you can't be afraid of what'll happen if she doesn't like something you say or do." Jarek said.
"Jarek, we're not having this conversation, you're lucky you're not being thrown in the tower just for that!" Yellow Diamond said.
"And I thought things were gonna calm down between us finally." Jarek said.
"That's it." Yellow Diamond reached down for him, but Jarek zapped her with his right hand, halting her in time.
"Grr!" She growled, unable to move, but she could still speak.
"Blue, do you have something to say to her?" Jarek asked.
"(Sigh) He's right, Yellow. This isn't getting us anywhere. We have to help Pink restore the corrupted gems on Earth." Blue Diamond said.
Jarek zapped Yellow Diamond again, she nearly fell on top of him. He strafed to his left side to avoid being smashed by leg.
"(nervous) And just how do you propose we convince White? She won't even listen to us." She asked, panting.
"Well, she'll have to if she doesn't want me to take advantage of her hand." Jarek said.
"What do you mean by that?" Steven asked, worried.
"Hehehe." Jarek chuckled, moving his white hand, wiggling his fingers.
"Eww! Jarek, you wouldn't dare!" Yellow Diamond said, disgusted.
"Relax, it's not your hand. It's still mine technically." Jarek said.
"Even still! Keep those thoughts to yourself!" She said sternly.
"Hehehehehe." Jarek chuckled.
"(Sigh)" Yellow sighed.
(Bridge to White Diamond's Ship)
Jarek, Yellow, Blue, and Steven were all walking along the massively long bridge that led directly to the torso of White Diamond's ship.
"We're almost there!" Jarek said, running ahead.
" *pant!* *pant!* *pant!* Slow down! I can't keep up!" Steven panted, running and falling behind.
Blue picked him up, and carried him in her hands.
"Thanks Blue." Steven said.
"You're welcome, Pink." Blue said, smiling at him.
Then suddenly White Pearl appeared in the middle of the bridge, bringing the gang to a stop.
"Whoa whoa!" Jarek exclaimed, stopping in his tracks. Yellow, and Blue stopped next.
"(WD voice) And just where do you think you're going?" White Pearl asked.
"We're coming to see you." Jarek said. "Look at my hand!"
"Oh yes. I almost forgot." White Pearl said, blasting the same white-energy from her eyes, towards Jarek, this time he swung his white-right hand and deflected her blast.
White Pearl had a shocked expression on her face, witnessing what just happened. Her attack didn't work!
"You wanna try that again? This time with a point-blank ranged advantage?" Jarek grinned.
White Pearl gritted her teeth, and flew to him with incredible speed.
(SLAP!) (SLAP!) (PUNCH!)
Jarek grabbed White Pearl's left hand, and restrained it. He had a visible slap mark on his left cheek.
"You insolent little.." White Pearl said.
"Hang on Jarek!" Steven said. "Blue, let me down!"
"What? No!" Blue said.
"Blue, he needs help!" Steven said.
"Look." Blue said.
Jarek pushed back White Pearl's arm, and zapped her, which backfired and froze him in time.
White Pearl grinned and shot her eye-beam again, this time it struck Jarek.
Jarek broke free from his time restraint, and was pushed back, badly hurt.
"Ha ha ha ha." White Pearl laughed.
"Stop!" Steven said, jumping down, and landing in front of Jarek.
"Now now, is that any way to behave, Pink?" White Pearl asked.
"This has to stop!" Steven said.
"Oh, and what do you think you're going to do for him? He's caused enough trouble for you, and me." White Pearl said.
"I won't let you hurt him anymore!" Steven said.
"(WD voice) So sad. So close." Jarek spoke, now nearly under her complete control.
Steven gasped, he remembered those same exact words from his dream.
"(dream voice) It's now or ever, Steven. Use the spear." Steven heard the same voice from his dream say.
Steven summoned his shield, and his spear..
"Oh what are you going to do with that?" White Pearl said.
"It is useless to fight us." Jarek said, standing with a creepy smile, the same as White Pearl's.
"Let him go, White!" Blue said.
Then White Pearl, and Jarek shot their blasts simultaneously at Blue Diamond with the same white-energy.
Yellow Diamond tried to shield Blue by standing in front of her. She was struck by the blast.
"Aaaaaaaaaarghh!" Yellow screamed.
"Yellow!" Blue said, backing away from her.
Then Jarek gritted his teeth, and snapped his fingers.
Yellow Diamond's entire body turned gray, consumed by White Diamond's power. Then her body, and head hung. When Jarek snapped his fingers again, Yellow lifted her head, and smiled creepily, the same as White Pearl, and him.
"(WD voice) Oh I feel so much better now!" Yellow Diamond said.
"(voice breaking) Yellow?!" Blue said with tears pouring out of her eyes.
Yellow's head turned 180 degrees to face her, as if she were a doll with a removable head.
"There you are, Blue." Yellow said.
"Hold on Steven!" Steven heard.
A robed Ronaldo flew to the scene, and swung his lightsaber both of Yellow's ankles in half in a non-symmetrical pattern, making her fall.
(POOF!)
(NEEDLE SCRATCHES RECORD!)
(Ren - Hol' up, a lightsaber? Ronaldo became a jedi?
Me - No.. he just had one.. so stupid..)
Ronaldo swung his sword at White Pearl with relentless fury.
Jarek stepped in and effortlessly slapped him on the back.
Blue knelt down, and held Yellow's now gray-tinted gemstone.
"(Cry)" Blue cried with the gem in her hand.
Ronaldo saw that Jarek was now corrupted. He didn't want to hurt him, but he knew he had no choice.
He swung his sword at Jarek, causing him to strafe back as a dodge, but he swung his left arm in an attempt to grab him.
Ronaldo sliced off his left forearm and kicked him back.
White Pearl swung her sword at Ronaldo.
"Nooo! Jarek!" Steven said, running to Jarek, who had fallen back, with a blank, shocked expression as if he were dead.
"NO! White.. " He said, feeling very sad.
Ronaldo, and White Pearl dueled with their weapons until Blue shot a ball of her energy at the two.
White Pearl grabbed Ronaldo, trying to make him take the blast, but he grabbed and tossed her to the ball.
(Explosion!)
(EXPLOSION!)
White Pearl hit the ground with a thud, and tried to get up. She was weakened. Some of the white tint faded off of her. She looked up and saw Ronaldo walking to her.
He looked at her as he raised his lightsaber to deliver the final blow.
But as he looked at her, she looked almost innocent, and very beautiful to him. She reminded him of his girlfriend, who LITERALLY NO ONE knew about until the restaurant war episode..
He stopped himself from attacking her, and let his guard down. Instead of poofing her, he offered his hand to her.
White Pearl looked at his hand in confusion, and took it, getting up.
"(WD & real voice) You.. spared me." She spoke in both her real voice, and White's.
"It was nothing." Ronaldo said.
Steven looked at Ronaldo, watching the whole scene unfold.
Ronaldo gave White Pearl a gentle smile.
White Pearl grinned mischievously., and resummoned her sword instantly, and impaled him.
"NOOOOOOOOOO!" Steven screamed.
(Ren - Okay, no more star wars for you.
Me - Bro..
Gerald - Ight that shit ain't cool.)
Ronaldo had a look of pure surprise, and sadness.
White Pearl pulled her sword out of his body, and kicked him to the floor.
Blue grabbed her from above, and squeezed her hand shut.
"AAAA-" White Pearl went.
(POOF!)
Blue knelt down to help Steven.
"Blue... he's dead!" Steven said, holding Ronaldo, who was unconscious.
"I'm sorry, Pink." Blue said.
"I'm not my mother! I've been trying to tell you guys! Why don't you all understand that?!" Steven said.
"(Sigh) I know you're not her, but you were her." Blue said.
"What do we do now?.. White's definitely not going to help us now." Steven said.
White's ship then opened where the chestplate stood.
White Diamond walked out of the room, with a crazed smile.
"Hello starlight." She said.
Steven stood with a stern expression, and stance.
Then a sand-nado formed beside Jarek, and Kenny appeared, along with Garnet, Pearl, and Amethyst. A small blue mist appeared beside Kenny, and out came Hunter through the style of transmat.
"Steven!" Pearl said, running to him, and Blue.
Garnet, and Amethyst followed, but Garnet stopped mid-way because she saw White Diamond.
"Oh no!" Hunter said, running to Jarek. He still had a white tint covering his body.
Hunter looked at his injuries, seeing his left forearm was missing, and he was still seemingly possessed.
He put his hand to his neck, checking for a pulse.
Suddenly the sounds of glass breaking, crushing, metal scraping rang in the corners of his mind.
Hunter gripped his head, trying to contain the struggles in his mind.
White Diamond walked towards the group.
"So, what was it you wanted from me? To go to earth with you? And for what exactly?" White said.
"We need your help with the corrupted gems there. When you, blue, and yellow blasted the earth, they weren't destroyed. They turned into monsters." Steven said.
"Explain." White said, intrigued.
Kenny then summoned a bubbled corrupted quartz gem, and popped it.
The gemstone fell and landed on the floor, and within seconds, took form. It unleashed a ravenous giant beast with spikes on its back, and horns on its head.
White looked at the creature with big eyes.
"What is that thing?" She said, shocked.
The creature roared at her, and lunged.
Kenny jumped up to the creature, and lifted it by the horn with ease. He floated up, holding the monster in place.
It wiggled, trying to break free.
"We tried to help them ourselves, but without your power, they won't change back completely. When Yellow tried, their bodies changed back to their normal states, but they were still monsters in their minds. When Blue tried, they were stuck in some sort of time loop, right before they died, I think." Steven said.
"Too Bad. If they failed to escape the earth, then that was their fate. This isn't the first time there have been casualties of war." White Diamond said.
"Please White! I know you don't want this! I know deep down, you want to help! These gems don't deserve this! Why do you take control of them when they do something you don't agree with?" Steven asked.
"Oh starlight. Let me enlighten you." White Diamond said, waving her, and which shot little mini beams of her power, aiming right for the crystal gems.
Kenny dropped the beast, sicking it on her.
Before the beams could strike the gems, the corrupted quartz pounced on White Diamond, attacking her.
"AAAH! GET OFF OF ME! GET OFF ME YOU… YOU.. THING!" White Diamond said.
Jarek rose up, like a puppet.
(snarl)
(NEEDLE SCRATCHES RECORD!)
(Ren - Now you a walker? Walking Dead, really?
Me - Okay okay, no I wasn't hehehehehe)
Then Hunter became encased in stasis (ice) shards, and Jarek's body did the same.
He gasped, and looked at himself.
"(slight WD voice) What the? What happened?" Jarek asked, looking at his right hand, his left arm was still gone.
(Me - so part of her voice can barely be heard, but it's audible. He's gained temporary partial control of himself.
Ren - So what, is she still inside of you?
Me - She will be lmao
Ren - Iugh my &$#/ you trippin.)
Hunter held Jarek's severed left arm, and transmatted it.
"Your arm's gonna be fine. What is this power we're covered in?" Hunter asked.
"Stasis." Jarek said.
Kenny grabbed the corrupted gem, and punched a hole through it.
(POOF!)
"This is what you left behind on earth." Kenny said.
White Diamond had hurt marks all over, and her clothes were slightly torn.
"My dress is ruined! How dare you let a beast attack me!" White Diamond said.
"It's not so fun when you're the victim, is it? How many gems had to die for the sake of your pointless conquest across the galaxy? How many gems got shattered because they failed you?" Kenny asked.
"That's unimportant to you! You will pay for this!" White Diamond said.
"Kenny, don't hurt her!" Steven said.
"She's gonna wipe us all out. Your cousin is dead because of her." Kenny said, not facing him.
"No.. I'm not." Jarek said, walking to the two.
Steven, and Kenny looked at him.
Blue was shocked to see what happened to his body.
"What was it you said? This has gone on long enough?" Jarek asked.
"How is this possible? I should be in control of you!" White Diamond said, she then shot her eye beam at him again.
The beam struck him, and only slightly made her magic spread to his body. But not enough to affect him.
"! (growl!)" White Diamond shot her beam again.
Same thing happened.
She shot it again.
"Why isn't it working?!" She asked.
"Because you're inside of me." Jarek said.
(needle scratches record again..)
(Ren - PTOO! HA HA HA HAHAHA!
Me - I told you.)
White Diamond gasped.
"What?! No! I'm supposed to be in control." She said.
"You can't control everything, and everyone. Because by then, everything will be you, and only you. No uniqueness of anything, everything will be just the same. It's not the way of the universe. You can't have everything be the way you want it to be. Perfection doesn't exist." Jarek said.
"You see that's where you're wrong. Everything is perfect if it's me. I have to be in order to hold the empire together." She said.
"They're breaking because of you. The amount of stress you put them under, caused things like Pink's defection to happen. You have to admit that this way of thinking is wrong, otherwise, it'll all crumble." Jarek said.
(CRUMBLE!)
Jarek fell off the map while standing on an unstable cliff-like piece of bridge..
"Jarek!" Blue, Steven, and the Crystal Gems said.
"(distant thud!)"
"He's right, White. You can't control everyone forever. You were controlling a white pearl, and her actions weren't even her own. It's not right." Steven said.
"And what would you know about right and wrong?" White Diamond said.
"I know that this isn't right. You have to let people make their own decisions. How many times did you throw my mom in the tower? How many times did you make her cry?" Steven asked.
"I.. I didn't. She misbehaved constantly.." White said, at a loss for words.
She began to remember the times where Pink made mistakes, or caused shenanigans, and always got into 'trouble," as she considered it to be.
During those times, Yellow was seen throwing Pink Diamond into the tower, and she had tears in her eyes.
"White, you know it's true. And I never wanted this for her or Orange. We did the same to her." Blue said, with tears visible.
White Diamond took a moment to think. What was she doing? Conquering planets for her empire, shattering & corrupting insubordinate gems for action she considered to be "wrong."
(grounds)
Jarek was groaning, getting up.
He was literally on top of Green Diamond, head first in her chest.
"(mush!)"
He looked at her.
She had a blush visible on her face.
Green Diamond screamed and pushed him off of her.
"Aaaahh! Get off of me you pervert!" She said, pushing, and then kicking him in the crotch.
"OW! I didn't mean to land in your pillows!" He said.
"Grr! So disrespectful! And I can't believe I saved you!" She said, frowning.
"(spit!) So it's not the end of the fucking world, okay?" Jarek said, seeing an ace rising behind her. "LOOKOUT!"
He yanked and threw her to his right side, and rammed into the fiend about to strike her.
"(MUFFLED!) YAAAH!" He sounded, being shoved.
(KICK!) (Punch!)
Jarek fell back.
The fiend was about to swing his ace at Jarek, but got struck in the face by a stasis blade, right in the face of his helmet.
(WH-TINK!)
"(Inaudible muttering) - Aaargh!" He yelled, shaking his head afterwards.
"What the hell?! Reiko?" Jarek said, recognizing him.
"(Inaudible muttering) - HA HA HA HA! What the hell was that?!" Reiko said.
He was wearing a helmet that COMPLETELY covered his face, so on one was able to understand anything he said.
"Uhh, can you repeat that? This time more CLEARLY?!" Green Diamond said.
"(Inaudible muttering) - What?" Reiko said.
"Dude, I can't take you seriously! What is with the helmet?" She said.
"(Inaudible muttering) - I found it in my closet! I look absolutely sick! Are you jealous? All you have is a stupid hat!" Reiko said.
"I think he said 'all you have is a stupid hat." Jarek said.
(PUNCH!)
Reiko had sent Jarek flying to a wall.
Jarek used the energy left in him, putting the encasing shards to good use.
Reiko threw shurikens at him.
Jarek jumped, and slammed the ground, sending forth two waves of glaciers, in only his middle front, and right-front side, due to lacking his left arm.
Reiko shrieked and ran from the glaciers.
Jarek flew over to him, and slammed another two waves of glaciers into the ground.
Reiko fell forward, and got caught by the glaciers, being frozen instantly.
With all of his might, he hit the ground once more, shattering all of the glaciers, along with anything frozen.
(SHATTER!) - Reiko
Jarek panted weakly, and felt his power cancel out. He fell forward, nearly at 0% health again.
(Bridge)
"How do we come back from this?" White Diamond said.
"I think you're just gonna have to leave your head for a while." Steven said.
"How am I gonna help the corrupted monsters? And what about Pink? All I wanted was for her to be here again." She asked.
"She's gone. And that's not a bad thing. Because I have her gem, and she's always with me in that gem. I may not be her, but she's still here." Steven said.
"(dream voice) Well done, O'Hero Mine. [chuckle mischievously]" Steven heard in his mind.
A rabbid climbed up, and aimed his rocket launcher, crouching.
"RE-WIH-WIEH! - I GOT YOU NOW!" He sounded.
(click!)
(EXPLOSION!)
The rabbid exploded into pieces, completely destroyed by its own rocket launcher.
(Ren - Wait, so did he fire a rocket and it jammed?
Me - Yeah. It was broken.)
"Whoa!" Steven exclaimed.
