Steven and jasper warped to the familar Korean Hills, as soon as steven stepped off the warp, he froze, "Damn it!", he mumbled to himself, "I forgot bismuth, both of you where supposed to be here". "What was that?", jasper asked, stepping off the warp and looking around, she didn't recognise this place just yet, it had changed so much compared to when she was last here. "Oh nothing, nothing!", steven reassured jasper, turning around to see her, "I did have another gem I wanted to bring with us but I kinda rushed everything when you got here", "I see", jasper replied, "so where is pink?", she asked, the wind starting to blow around her long white hair, "oh that! She's not far Follow me!".

Steven lead jasper through the familar Hills and valleys he once called his home, the pink followers surrounded them everywhere they went, this place was so peaceful and empty, shocking to believe one of the war's biggest battles happened here. "Is this-", jasper froze and turned to her right, there was pink's destroyed old palanquin, nearly hanging off a cliff, blue had threw it there. "Yes, yes it is", Steven replied, jasper slowly approached the palanquin, trembling, "this is where she was killed, I was too far to protect her, too late..", she bowed her head, having a small moment of silence in memory of her lost leader.

Steven nervously took some steps forward and tried to put his arm around her giant body, failing miserably, "you did all you could, and don't blame yourself", he told her, "and besides, you do remember why I brought you here? I'm bringing you to pink!" He smiled at her, trying to cheer her up. Jasper looked back at him, then back to the Palanquin, "s-she isn't here!? But this is where", Steven lightly hushed her, "follow me, I'll show you where she is". Jasper continued following after him, giving the old palanquin one last glance, she'd never forget the day her diamond "died", it was the day she failed her only true purpose, to protect and fight for her diamond.

Steven stopped in front of the edge of a cliff and then flew down, jasper slid down and followed after him, under there was blue diamonds ship, Steven opened a small hole in the palm of the ship's hand and they landed in, the hole closing after. "Pink diamond is in blue's ship? Where the rest of her shards found?", jasper asked steven some more, this time steven didn't respond and just started walking, she quickly followed after him, she knew they where close now. After wandering in nearly identical, long dark blue corridors in silence for what seemed like forever they where finally there, Steven stopped and looked forward, there was the yellow forcefield keeping pink diamond in her room. Pink sat alone, drawing greg shirtless while kicking some bubbles up into the air with her feet, she didn't know anyone was here. Jasper froze and took some steps back, her mouth agape, she could barely speak, "m-my diamond, b-but how?", she could feel tears starting to run down her face, her tough demeanor had completely vanished.

Pink turned around and looked to see steven and jasper, she raised an eyebrow, "you're back soon, steven", she said, not even acknowledging jasper. jasper saluted her and bowed deeply, trying desperately to keep her composure, "M-MY DIAMOND!", she studdered, "H-HOW ARE YOU...", pink took a quick glance at her and smirked, "wow steven you didn't tell her?", she laughed, "how cruel of you for keeping gems living a lie! Isn't that what you told yellow?" jasper's shock turned into confusion, she looked back to steven. "you're going to be telling her!", Steven yelled to pink, pointing at her, "ill make you!", pink laughed, "fine! You should know the whole story too! Maybe then you'll understand me!", "I'll never be able to understand such evil", Steven mumbled quiet enough for pink not to hear.

Pink kicked away her bubbles that hit the wall and popped, she shuffled on the ground to the edge of the forcefield, the closest she could possibly get to steven and jasper without hurting herself. "My diamond, what is happening?" Jasper asked, Steven turned to her, "don't call her that now, she doesn't deserve it, what she has done is unforgivable!", he told her, he himself now becoming emotional thinking about all the gems she's hurt with this. "Oh steven! Don't interrupt! Jasper wants to listen to her diamond not you!", pink laughed at them, Steven clenched his fists, he wanted to summon his scythe and jump in there and attack her, she really was taking everything like a joke, it enraged him! "I am jasper's diamond now", Steven replied, trying to hold back all his hatred for her.

"Oh my really? Well that's good, I never wanted gems to fight for me anyway", pink said, Steven could see a bit of jasper break inside, pink definitely had to know how much damage she was doing with her words, but she went on "especially fighting for things I never wanted! I do feel bad for you I really do!", she looked down to jasper, she could see all the pain in her eyes, but she didn't stop, she saw this as an opportunity to escape, "It must be such a sad life fighting for someone who didn't even want you, to then finding out if you really wanted to serve your diamond you should've just joined THE CRYSTAL GEMS!". "T-the what?", was all jasper could say, Steven turned to her, he realised if he just let pink talk for any longer she would just make things worse, "japser....pink diamond never died, she was rose quartz this whole time", he told her, trying his best to be gentle but there's no gentle way to say that the person you've been hunting down who you thought killed someone you dedicated your life to never really existed and was in fact the person you thought died.

"It's true", pink told jasper, "but I had no choice, if you where me you'd understand, it was the only way to save this earth, to sacrifice myself, then the diamonds would learn to leave this place alone, but it seems you all got too obsessed with me and came back here", she leaned back, she was so relaxed, no sign of even the smallest big of empathy for jasper, "you made me have to show my real self to save this place, now I'm probably going to spend the rest of my life here, like an abandoned spinel, but thats okay", she turned to steven and winked, "blue is just like me, she loves this planet, she's doing what I want, you're the same steven", Steven covered his ears, he couldn't bare her voice any longer.

"SHUT UP!", he yelled, summoning a blue energy ball and shooting it at her, destroying the forcefield and hitting pink in the chest just above her gem, sending her flying into the wall. "I shouldn't have done that", Steven said to himself, now he had destroyed the forcefield and pink could escape, jasper looked at him enraged, "YOU, YOU HURT MY DIAMOND!", she yelled, summoning her helmet, and rushing to him, puching him in the face and chest at full force. pink got up, holding her chest where the energy ball had hit and smirked, "you've made a terrible mistake, steven".
