You started to materialize relative to Earth, just above its atmosphere. The Diamond fleet was already there, lots of flying saucer looking objects floating around and such. You had warped into the future. "Oh good, you're safe." You heard Yellow Diamond said. "I'm not going down that easily!" You said triumphantly. You heard Blue Diamond chuckle. "Follow us, dear." You did as told and tried to keep your ship in line with theirs as much as possible. You entered the atmosphere, and for a little bit, it was quiet. After a couple minutes of descent, you heard a laser blast, and your TARDIS rumbled loudly and shook violently, causing you to lose your footing. You landed on your rear, which hurt a bit. "You okay kiddo?" White Diamond said. "F-fine, what's--" "The rebels are firing at us, at YOU!" Yellow Diamond said, cutting you off. You didn't mind. She had the right to. You're just a tiny organic life form, after all. You looked at the monitor and tried to see what was going on. You zoomed in on a map that popped up, showing live footage of... A giant pink laser light cannon? Firing at you, from a beach-like place, being operated by a grey figure with rainbow dreadlocks. She didn't look too happy. The ground troops of Yellow Diamond's army were fighting on that same beachy area. The laser cannon was fired again, you couldn't dodge in time. You were hit, and sparks flew out if the walls of the inside of your ship. You covered your head to shield yourself. "(Y/N), you're on fire!" You heard your Diamond say. It was true. Outside, your TARDIS was flaming, it's exterior damaged. The extent of the attack spread to the interior, and the glass surrounding the time rotor cracked. You started to spiral out of control, increasing speed. You came closer and closer to the ground, fire spewing out of the windows. The last thing you heard before crash landing was all three Diamonds calling your name. You fell the the ground and hit your head, causing you to black out.

You were awoken by the pounding of your own ears. You slowly opened your eyes, and let your vision adjust. A couple wires hung from the ceiling, and there were some cracks in the walls. You must have landed pretty hard. You sat up, feeling an ache in your right wrist. It was sprained. You were surprised that seemed to be the worst of your injuries, which were mostly cuts and bruises. You grunted in pain and forced yourself to stand up, leaning against the console for leverage. You tried to patch a link to anybody, but you got no response. You sighed and walked towards the door, cradling your arm. You pushed/pulled the door open and leaned against the door frame. You landed relative to the beach. It was still sandy, just no one really fighting on this side. It was at this moment, that you knew... You messed up. Like, bad. A white sword was suddenly pointed right at your neck. You gulped and met your attacker's gaze. It was a Pearl. She had two swords with her, one dropped to her side and the other pointed at you. You didn't want to die. You're going to get killed and it's going to hurt... No. You'll regenerate, and be fine. You calmed down and decided to talk to this Pearl. Judging by the lack of Diamond on her clothing, you guessed she was a rebel. Behind her, that same grey figure that shot you down from earlier stood. Neither of the two looked very friendly. You shuddered in fear. You didn't want to die, even if you did regenerate. "Who are you?" The Pearl demanded. "...(Y/n)..." You responded fearfully. "(Y/n)? I haven't heard of a gem like that before..." The grey figure said. "I-I'm not a gem..." both figures looked at you, one with a look of disbelief, and the other concerned. "I don't believe you." The Pearl said. Something caught your ears. It was Yellow Diamond, talking to someone.
"You're not going anywhere." The Pearl said. You could just barely make out your diamond demanding where you were in the distance. The clanging of swords overlapped her voice, was she fighting someone? But she's so huge... she probably shrunk herself down. "P-Please don't hurt me..." you said. You felt the need to assist your diamond, it sounded like she was struggling. "We have to." The Pearl said. She raised her sword, the grey figure watched, an emotionless look plastered on her face. "In the name of Rose Quartz, I strike you down!" She swung her sword down on you, you could not dodge or do anything in time. Her blade sank into your shoulder, causing you to let out a pained wail of agony. The grey figure gasped when she saw red coming out of your shoulder. "...organic..." you heard her whisper. "I-I'm sorry... I didn't know..." the Pearl stammered. She pulled her sword out, eyes widening at the crimson tip of her blade. You let out a whimper when she retracted. "We need Rose." The grey one said. You really need to find her name. "Bismuth, are you sure? They're from Homeworld..." The Pearl said. There we go. "The only way a Homeworlder could be organic is if they were captured. Now let's go." Bismuth said. "Stay here, we'll be back for you." The two ran off to go find 'Rose.' Oh. They mean their leader! There's no way you are going to stay and meet her! She'll kill you, just like she killed Pink Diamond! You tried to stand up, despite the pain in your shoulder. You couldn't do it, your shoulder felt like it was being burned by acid. You fell back down, taking deep breaths. You thought you saw something out of the corner of your eye. An Ood. Despite it being far away, you could hear its voice as clear as a bell's toll.
"Your story is ending. But you will live on." It was very raspy and cryptic, but you were more concerned with its words. It's right. You're going to die before the rebels get back to you. You need to find your Diamond. You tried to stand once more, this time succeeding. You held your shoulder and began your tread to the other side of the beach. To make a long story short, you had to cross through a forest before you got there. There she was. Your Diamond had shrunk herself, confirming your hypothesis from earlier. She's now as tall as Rose Quartz. She also wore a more of a battle garment, instead of the gown she wore for so long. She had a yellow Excalibur in hand, and was fighting... Rose Quartz. Leader of the Rebellion. To make matters worse... your Diamond was losing. She had various cuts, and looked ready to faint any second now. She didn't seem to notice you, despite you viewing the battle from the side. Rose Quartz had a look of determination on her face. Eventually, after a few seconds, Rose found the right moment to strike, and she did. Yellow Diamond shrieked in pain and fell down. Rose said some things to her, inaudible to you because of your own injuries disorienting you. You could only assume they were threats when they were actually words of mercy. The only voice you heard was your Diamond's. "I will never join you, traitor! You destroyed one of our own, and you will be shattered!" Rose sighed. She raised her sword, a tear coming from her eye. She's not going to... is she? She is. She's going to shatter Yellow Diamond, just like she did to Pink Diamond. You cannot let that happen. You charged at the two, despite your injuries. You dove in front of your Diamond just as Rose swung her sword down. The world felt like it was at a standstill. You took a hit for your Diamond. Pain radiated from your chest, but it felt more like a numbing pain, instead of what you should have felt. You thanked God for that. You felt lots of vibrations coming from all angles. You had landed on the sand, hurting, bleeding, and dying. You heard a faint 'NO!' Come from somewhere, whoever said it would remain unknown to you. You heard a growl and a scream, with more muffled sword clashing. You slowly pulled your hand up to your face, it was glowing orange ever so faintly. You're going to regenerate. You felt a sudden surge of strength, and felt the need to stand up, and assure everyone you're okay. You slid up to your knees, your body numb. You placed one foot on the ground, upright. You pushed down on your knee and began to stand. Your hands glowed a bit more now, and unknown to you, your head was too. You prayed that whatever you regenerated into would be better than this form. Sure, it treated you well, but you want to help more people. You want to be strong, amazingly strong, and helpful. You want peace.

Third Person POV

(Y/n) stood up straight, and faced Rose Quartz and Yellow Diamond, who had stopped fighting. They just stared at them, eyes widened. (Y/n) started to glow more and more, causing the two to have to squint to see. Suddenly (Y/n) threw their arms out in a 'T' position and flung their head back as long flames erupted from their sleeves and from the neck up. They were regenerating.

Yellow Diamond could not stay to watch the full regeneration. She needed to flee. She mournfully used (Y/n)'s regeneration as a distraction and took off in the opposite direction, towards her ship. She rounded up her sisters, whom had also shrunk themselves to the same height, gathered the remaining troops that were still alive, and left in their respective ships.

Normal POV
You felt a slight pain in (spot on your body) as you regenerated. You wondered what you would regenerate into. That was the last thought you had before you blanked out and the regeneration process reached its peak, throwing flames everywhere. You soon began to regain consciousness as your brain cells regenerated. The flame's started to grow smaller, and you felt a weight build itself on your (spot on your body.) The rest of your body began to feel pretty light, like it was made out of air. Or more accurately... light. The regeneration finally ceased, leaving you exhausted. You fell backwards onto the sand, and heard a sound before you fell unconscious.

"POOF!"
