Steven Universe Pink Diamond LIVES

Chapter 36: Leaving...

As I stand on the shore, Blue by my side, the Crystal Gems all look at me with wide eyes. I told them of what I came up with. Though the plan would work, it's really risky and they might think that I'm delirious. They have to think it over and over again. This could change everything.

"Are you sure Pink? This is...really crazy thinking and we all could be shattered on spot!" Pearl explains. I nod.

"This is what is best suited for victory..we wouldn't be in the situation we are in now. We won't be backed up into a corner. Then stuff like manipulation won't happen again! We have to do it." I try to convince them.

"But, seriously? It was hard enough defecting off of Homeworld, how are we supposed to just go back..to fight nonetheless!" Pearl crosses her arms. She's really against this idea...however that's when Garnet walks beside her and puts a hand on her shoulder.

"She's right. If we have any chance of winning this war, it's going to fight on Homeworld. There's bound to be more allies there as well. More off-colors, more of Pink's command, and more of Blue's quart." Garnet cringes at the name of Blue, but she's dealing with it. Pearl nods and looks at me again.

"I can't believe we're going to do this..it's just that...it's been thousands of years since I last saw it. I knew I'd be back there someday just..not when it's still filled with gems..or with her." Pearl looks down. I sigh.

"I wanted to get away for a reason Pearl...it was terrible there. She was...different towards me. One minute a mother the next..." I stop speaking..it's too painful. I can't speak of it.

"She was? She always seemed to be kind to you?" Blue turns to me. I hug myself tightly.

"Who are you guys talking about?" Steven raises an eyebrow, curious. Blue looks at him sorrowfully.

"White Diamond of course." Blue answers him. His eyes go wide.

"The one who-" He begins.

"Yes Steven..she's an all powerful being. She has powers such as..the manipulation that occured." I cut him off, giving off more information. He takes the information into account.

"She's stuck on Homeworld for now though. She has to power it." Blue looks at me straight into the eyes.

"Why?" I question.

"You remember her..anger issues?" Blue holds her arm close.

"She broke Homeworld?!" I gasp. Blue just simply nods.

So, her power is being directed to the planet at the moment...leaving her vulnerable. It's true we need to strike now then. We might not get this chance, if she sends another fleet.

"Then, this makes the plan more effective. She's weak and her attention is elsewhere. This is our only shot." I look at all of the Crystal Gems.

"I'm in." Amethyst nods.

"As are we." The Famethyst summon their weapons.

"Don't forget about us." Garnet smiles and raises her glasses.

"I suppose this is the only way." Pearl agrees.

"Yeah, I'm so in because there is nothing better to do." Pyrodite rolls her eyes.

"I'm always with you!" Moonstone stands straighter.

"As long as My Diamond is with you, as am I." Blue Quartz she crosses her arms.

"Pink, of course I'm with you. So are my troops." Blue smiles at me.

"As are the Jades and I." Nephrite nods, so do the two Jades.

I turn to Steven. "So, are you coming?" I ask.

Steven looks up and smiles. "Where else would I be?"

"It's settled. We're going to Homeworld!" I shout.
