Chapter XVI: Resurrection ~No Man's Land Part II~

"We've got her," said Dipper to Steven, barging into his room.

Steven enters the interrogation chamber to see Nocturna Anastasia. "Hey..." he said. "I just wanted you to know that there's no need for any more anarchy. I'm glad we ended up reaching out to you."

"No... Steven. I'm here because I enjoy intimidating and warning you Maharlicans and your constant belief in peace."

"Anarchy... I honestly don't get it. Your obsession with the destruction of the natural order. Why? What is your purpose?"

"I am a Diamond. That is my purpose."

"YOU HAVE NO PURPOSE!!!" Steven stands up, angered. "NOW, I AM ASKING YOU TO PLEASE HAVE A DISCUSSION WITH ME SO THAT WE COULD AGREE ON SOMETHING!!!"

"You think that I'm afraid of you. I'm not." Nocturna shows her belly button. She doesn't have one, only having a Black Diamond in the shape similar to Steven's Gem. "I won't fear you, Universe. I don't care if you're known as one of the greatest warriors in history. You're a joke. You think that every problem can be solved if you just talk to them. You can't always do that, Steven. Sometimes, you have to do things that break your character to get what you want.
And... Because you'll never do that... I doubt it, based on what I see from you...
Look at you... Your eyes... quivering at the sight of yet another rogue Diamond..."

Steven's eyes are quivering as she said.

"You're hopeless. You won't break your stupid rule... And I'll enjoy killing people in your petty mind's wake."

"SHUT UP!!! I DESTROYED EVERYTHING THE COLORED DIAMONDS WERE!!! I DESTROYED EVERYTHING THEY STOOD FOR!!! I DESTROYED EVERYTHING THEY WORKED FOR AND EVERYTHING THEY WERE PLANNING!!! I DID THAT!!! ME!!! SO!!! Let's begin our discussion."

"You did that? You really destroyed everything your sisters had created and instituted, establishing your own form of government?"

"YES!!!"

Nocturna pauses. She smiles. "You really are a Diamond."

Steven's eyes went from anger to complete horror from that chilling statement.

"And... You'd make a reeeaaally good Dark Gem... I can tell... Those are the eyes of someone who shattered someone..."

Steven went silent and stared in horror.

Suddenly, the news app beeps Steven's iWatch and Steven watches what's happening to Burnham, Earth-Prince.

He sees several bodies of people on the streets. He also sees people running around the streets, screaming out of fear. He sees Goblin and the Joker flying about in the respective gliders, cackling as they pierce innocent people with their weapons.

"What... did you do?"

"You see, Steven... Peace is never enough. Because life... really isn't fair... So, let us establish a little... anarchy... chaos... and... madness... and people would be truly free!"

"WHAT DID YOU DO!?" asked Steven.

"Taking upon my next move on the Chessboard. Your move, Pink Diamond..." sneered Nocturna. She begins humming, "La Vien En Rose."

"RAUGH!!!" Steven stands up and walks outside the interrogation room. "Quarantine Burnham, Philippines, Earth-Prince! NOW!!!"

"What's happening!?" asked Star.

"People are dying. SO QUARANTINE THE CITY!!! ALL UNITS ENTER THE CITY WITH CAUTION!!!" yelled Steven.

"YOU HEARD HIM!!!" yelled Dipper, speaking into a handheld transceiver. "Let's go! Call the authorities! It happened! Go! Go! Go!"
