Vader returned to Yellow Diamond's ship with the leader, he did not know if Yellow Diamond would keep her word. If she didn't, well, Vader would make her suffer, she would regret betraying the dark Lord.

Vader carried the leader's gem in his hand, as ordered, the gem was not shattered. Her fate was to be decided by Yellow Diamond. Vader heard the murmurs and talk of the gems around him, he could tell by how they spoke they were surprised to see him alive and back on the ship. Vader did not care for their praise or acceptance, he certainly did not care for their respect ether.

"Ah Lord Vader, I see you have returned." Yellow diamond said while Vader made his way into the room.
"And the gem leader?" She asked.
Vader opened his hand and showed her the gem, with no damage seen. "Good, very good..." Yellow seemed to trail off her sentence when she noticed A piece of Vader's mask was broken.

She noticed an eye, it was glowing in golden. The Skin around it looked sickly, it had a grey color to it. Immediately she snapped out of her trance. "Well, thank you for your cooperation Lord Vader, now, you are cleared of charges. " Yellow diamond said, Vader simply nodded. "Is there any place where I may repair myself?" Vader asked, catching the Diamond off guard. "Repair yourself?" She asked, "Yes, I took some damage during my mission." Vader said rather matter-a-factly, "Very well, I shall have a room prepared for you on the lower end of the ship, where you may repair your damaged components."

Vader walked into a room, the door closed behind him, the room itself was yellow in color and was square in shape, there was a long yellow table in the middle, Vader began his repairs and pondered his next move.

Yellow diamond had resumed her conversation with the other Diamonds after Vader had left for repairs, the other Diamonds-even including Pink- found Vader interesting. They had all agreed to bring him to homeworld for examination, as for the war ship, which stunned the others when Yellow explained it's capabilities in great detail, was to be brought to homeworld as well, however, it would require a fleet of ships to move it.
The other Diamonds- except Pink- had scoffed at the idea of humans being capable of building something like that. However, they froze when they realized Yellow was being serious and had sent them evidence from one of the shattered peridots. "This should be impossible, the humanity we have encountered is not even remotely close to this level of tech!" Blue diamond said in shock. Perhaps, Pink began, we do not know humanity as well as we like to believe. "Please do bring him here, as for the ship I shall send a dozen of ships from my fleet to grab it from space and bring it to homeworld." White diamond said.
"There is one more thing, Vader himself was the commander of this vessels and from what I have managed to gather, he is human as well." Yellow said, "What?!" Blue found herself shouting, "He...he is human?" Pink said in clear shock, "This day has certainly gotten more interesting." White said in calm but somewhat shaken tone. With that being said, the meeting was over.

Homeworld, Pink Diamond's chamber: "I can't believe one being is capable of doing this.... only a diamond could take on that many gems and survive." Pink said while observing the footage from the assault on the rebel base. Pink was also horrified of what Vader had done to these gems in both the base footage and what they could get off of the ship Vader was found on. Her curiosity of Vader had turned into fear, but she still wanted to see him, after all, he was still a human, maybe he could help with the zoo she was building.
Her thoughts soon drifted to the war ship, how could humans build such a thing? The ship itself and Vader made Pink question everything she thought she knew about humanity. Is it possible that other planets have humans on them? And some were just able to advance farther than others? That was Pink's new hypothesis. She would investigate more when Vader got here.
Vader himself aslo seemed to have some degree of cybernetics, another question that Pink wanted an answer to.

Homeworld, Blue Diamond's chamber: What was this being Yellow had in her ship? It was human, but far more powerful than any human she had ever seen, this monster even tore through countless gems, so, it is even more powerful than most gem types, maybe even....No! She was a diamond of homeworld and she will not be driven to terror by a lowly organic, even a organic like Vader. Blue would prepare her court for Vader's arrival.
Blue went to one of her sapphires and asked about the one known as Vader, for the first time in thousands of years, Blue noticed fear in the sapphire, clearly shaken but what she had seen in the future including Vader. Blue had asked the sapphire what she had seen, what came next would haunt Blue till the day her gem was shattered. The sapphire told her that she had seen homeworld on fire, destroyed, and no longer looked like it had held life. She saw the diamond authority's throne destroyed, she saw gems being dragged in chains to huge ships that she did not recognize. She saw armies of white armored troops, along with gigantic war machines tearing through the streets destroying gems and buildings. Then, the worst of all came at last, the four diamonds were kneeling before a hooded figure, when the figure looked up, she saw eyes that blazed with gold, and smile so crooked, Vader stood next to this figure, then the hooded figure laughed.


It was the most cruel and horrible laugh the sapphire had ever heard. All around this hooded figure stood red guards with helmets that did not betray emotion, behind him was a flag with a strange symbol on it, waving into the air.

Homeworld, White diamond's chamber: White was the most intrigued by the arrival of this figure, her fleet would be near the war ship soon, to take it back to homeworld for it to be examined over

Homeworld, White diamond's chamber: White was the most intrigued by the arrival of this figure, her fleet would be near the war ship soon, to take it back to homeworld for it to be examined over. White hoped that this ship was just special, White hoped it was simply a gift to Vader, because in truth, it would take dozens of homeworld's ships to bring it down, even with the combined might of the Diamond's ships. From what she examined, it was the most powerful war ship she had ever seen. A fleet of them, would surely run through homeworld's defenses.
Then, there was Vader himself, a powerful specimen, one that could cleave through gems as if nothing were there, she also hoped, that Vader was the only human capable of this power. White heard something, it was here communicator, she let it play through. It was Blue, and she seemed.... scared, no not scared but terrified.
