Quote from present episode titled "Bismuth."
"That's exactly what she said."
"This is right where it happened you know."
-From Bismuth to Steven when he tells her that SHATTERING a gem- a person - is wrong.**************************
A flash of light brightens the dark area as Rose and Bismuth appear out of the light. Rose looks worried, despite having a confident and excited gem by her side. Bismuth is one of the most loyal soldiers that Rose has. But... It's not someone she fears, however.
"Bismuth, why couldn't I have brought Garnet and Pearl along?" Asks the leader of the Crystal Gems - the mighty Rose Quartz.
"I needed to see your reaction first, and that's 'cause believe I finally created something that can WIN this war! Us, the rebels, can finally end this!" Bismuth replies. Her smile gets wider, but Rose gets much more fear, and a hint of sadness in her eyes.Bismuth laughs as she and Rose enter the Forge. This is Bismuth's station. Filled with lava on the walls, the room is much brighter than the rest of the area. Bismuth quickly runs to activate a machine, and the middle of the room elevates, revealing a weapon. It's...
"The Breaking Point! That's what I like to call this baby! This... this is a weapon that can DESTROY Homeworld. Each gem, one at a time, we can shatter them!"
Rose's eyes widen as Bismuth says this. She says silent. She decides - she knows it's best to be quiet now. Bismuth picks up the breaking point and equips it in her arm. Suddenly, both Rose and Bismuth are surrounded by dummies. Mannequins with gems in them. Bismuth smiles as she runs over to one of them, and then stabs the mannequin right in the gem. Following this, the dummy explodes. There are tears in Rose's eyes.
"Rose, we can SHATTER THEM!" Bismuth exclaims.
Rose is done being quiet. "Bismuth," she says in her soft loving voice. " I... I can't... I can't use this."
Bismuth smile disappears. "Why not?" Rose's lips quiver. Despite being much more powerful than Bismuth, Rose is terrified.
"This... this is wrong. Shattering those gems. Won't that make us the same as the Homeworld gems? Won't we be doing the bad deeds they did?"
"NO!" Bismuth shouts. "We have a REASON! We're going to do it to protect our kind and free the prisoners TRAPPED by Homeworld!"
"But... nobody deserves to be shattered. To be killed... it's wrong. Not even the Diamonds should get this."
"WHAT ABOUT YELLOW? She ORDERED you to be SHATTERED! SHE DESERVES THIS FATE!" Bismuth's frown slowly turns into an angry expression. "This is why I didn't bring Garnet or Pearl. I knew you would do this. I knew you would say no."
Bismuth picks up the weapon. "What kind of leader are you, Rose? Stopping your people from WINNING THE WAR!? STOPPING YOUR CRYSTAL GEMS FROM LIVING? You disgust me." Then, she points the weapon at Rose. "YOU are the one who deserves this fate!"
Rose's tears... they have a power. They heal people. But... she couldn't heal the wrong thinking of a gem. Bismuth charges at Rose, but she summons her shield. She keeps her sword close to her, but she doesn't want to use it. When Bismuth breaks her shield, she summons her bubble to protect herself from the strikes. When that breaks, she has no choice. She has to use her sword.
And so... Bismuth is bubbled for 5 thousand years, without anybody knowing where she was- not Garnet, not Pearl. That is it for her, until Steven finds her, the day he realizes his mother's wrongdoings.
