The green Gem kneeled before her diamond as the screen bathed the room in a yellow light. Yellow Diamond spoke to her distantly, dismissive and uncaring, "I want that fusion to die. I want the rebels to die. Do you understand?"

"We are facing mass mutiny," Emerald pleaded, "I don't have the forces to-"

The Diamond glared and the Gem fell silent before saluting and replying, "Yes my Diamond."

The signal ended. Emerald sat in her chair, alone in the dim light of the ship. She gripped her chair with such force, such anger, the rocky material cracked in her hands.

"I can't take this," Emerald muttered, "I can't take much more of this..."

Chrysoprase ordered her troops, riding Jasper as a steed in the Garden, "OK listen up! We are close to Homeworld! This is the final push! When must breach the enemy line to Emerald's ship! Quartz soliders are strong, but those under Homeworld's banner will not fight without a leader! Not only is this our advantage but it also shows the insecurity and pain our foes cause to our Gem brethren! Shatter the Diamonds! Polish the Quartz!"

"Shatter the Diamonds!" The army echoed, "Polish the Quartz!"

Chrysoprase's halves spoke to each other inside their head.

"Is that really the best mantra?" Steven asked.

"What do you mean?" Spinel inquired to the other half of the fusion internally, "We wanna shatter Yellow and let the oppressed rise up. I think it captures it pretty well."

"But do we really wanna..." Steven sighed.

"Connie on our mind I see," Spinel commented, "I have no strong feelings either way bro. It's up to you."

Chrysoprase shook their head as Steven replied, "Let's just cross that bridge when we get there."

The duo then got onto a ship and prepared for battle...

Emerald's forces flew through space, firing at the rebellion as Emerald shouted orders, "Taking out the rebels means nothing! Which ship has that accursed fusion!?!"

A pearl replied to her, "We don't know. They all use the same ship so we can't track their leader."

"Wait is that ship charging right at us?" Emerald asked.

A ship shattered the front windshield of the ship, latching on with hooks as sirens blared from Emerald's ship. In the chaos, two quartz soldiers dashed forward and poofed Emerald's guards as a third blue Gem manned the ship. When the dust cleared Emerald stood face to face with the fusion, who smiled and removed their hat as they bowed, "A pleasure to finally meet Emerald."

The fusion stretched its arm across the room to shake hands with Emerald, To which Emerald complied as she collected herself and summoned her weapon, a lance as the fusion took their cane and began to tap dance over to her.

"We don't have to fight," Crysoprase explained, "You can call off your forces and surrender now."

"I have my orders," Emerald glared, "Is this how you face me Crysoprase? Outmanned? Without honor?"

"If honorable combat is what you want," Crysoprase grinned, "So be it. Pheonix, Shorty, and Skins, hold Jasper."

The corrupted Gem whined behind the fusion who comforted her, "I'll be OK mom, but a duel should be honest, and I admire honesty above all else."

The fusion twirled their cane with a smile and did a little dance before the case extended into a scythe. Emerald too summoned her weapon, a massive green mace with a spiked head, more like a warhammer than a mace in size.

The green Gem lunged, slamming her weapon into the ground as the ship's floor shattered. Debris scattered across the room as Crysoprase stretched their second set of arms around the weapon and yanked it from Emerald's hands before turning it around and decking Emerald in the face with it. Emerald flew back and slammed into a wall before getting back up and charging, avoiding two outstretched fist from the fusion and approaching as she grabbed the scythe and pushed it towards Crysoprase. Emerald began to overpower the fusion as she demanded, "Do you know what it's like to work for Yellow? The fear I live under? I can't let you win. I won't! If my crew isn't useful we'll be harvested for resources! Resources have dwindled in the empire and Gems who fail..."

Chrysoprase extends one of their arms that Emerald dodged, choking her from behind and crushing her like a snake as the arms apply crushing pressure to her form.

"Then I will protect your crew from Yellow," Chrysoprase grinned, "She will be stopped."

"If you think Yellow is the problem," Emerald chuckled, "You're not as smart as I gave you credit for..."

With that the Gem poofed. Chrysoprase sat in her chair as Pheonix and co watched.

"This ship is just what we need," Pheonix explained, "Emerald was a high ranking Gem. A Gem with a direct line to Yellow Diamond and Homeworld."

Chrysoprase grinned, "All part of the plan. The laws are in order?"

Pheonix nodded.

Shorty asked, "But this is a dangerous plan if you fall-"

"Reaching Homeworld is easy," Skins explained, "But this is the only way to take the planet. We can't take it head on."

Chrysoprase grinned, "Indeed. Pheonix, Shorty, and Skins, I want you to know. I love all of you as my sisters. My family. Now, start the signal..."

On every screen on Homeworld a signal appeared. All across the empire a message played. Chrysoprase spoke into the camera, "I've come to make an announcement!..."

Song: Not Your Precious Pink Diamond

Based On: Your Obedient Servant (Hamilton)

Chrysoprase sang, Jasper behind her as she glared into the camera, "Since I was young,
You've hurt the ones I love.
To avenge your precious Pink Diamond.
Your Precious Pink Diamond.

And you see,
Yellow Diamond,
You've hurt them..."

Chrysoprase chucked and summoned her weapons as she grinned maliciously, "For the last time."

Various images of times Yellow Diamond has wronged one of the duo echo in the mind of the two halves of the fusion.

First, Spinel being left in the Garden, then the day Steven faked his death, followed by the Cluster, Jasper's poor treatment of Steven in the early days with indifference before the two grew close, Pearl's lie, and finally Jasper's corruption.

Spinel sang as she continued, various Gems watching in shock, "So Yellow Diamond...
I am quick to anger,
To this I will confess,
But you're the root of my problem this I cannot deny.

I look back on all our pain,
And in every case I see,
It always comes to you or Pink Diamond,
In the end.

Now you call our immoral.
My loved ones a disgrace.
Well at the end of the day,
I'm the foe you will face.

For I invoke law 334.8 B,
Which is trial by combat.
With Hate-
Chrysoprase."

Yellow Diamond rose from her throne enraged and sang back, "I am not the reason you suffer.
It's because to try to defy me.
I will not change my direction.
Expansion of my empire is what I seek.

If you wish to invoke that law.
Then you would have to be a Diamond.
As it only applies to disagreements,
Between the flawless.

You're not a Diamond,
But if you were then I would strike you down.
The only Diamond not here.
Is my Precious Pink Diamond."

The fusion suddenly split apart from Steven's intense rage as he glowed pink, "Do you remember me Yellow?
Ordered me to be killed years ago!
Never expected a lowly human,
To be a Diamond's son!"

"Pink I've about had it with this," Yellow retorted, "You're Pink Diamond.
Don't you dare give me this.
That pink glow proves this."

Steven grinned as he sang, "Then you shall face me in three days time.
I'll avenge Jasper and then I will decide,
What to do with your empire,
I'll probably just give it to Blue!"

"What does Blue have to do with this?" Yellow Diamond demanded in song.

Steven retorted in song, "Irreverent.
Two days time dawn.
One on one."

"You're on," Yellow Diamond retorted.

Both sang, "Soon you're going to see..."

Steven and Yellow sang their next lines in synch but with different lyrics.

Steven sang, "I am not Pink Diamond!'

Yellow at the same time sang, "You're our precious Pink Diamond!"

"Steven Beta Universe," Steven sang his final line.

"Yellow Diamond," Yellow retorted...
