[In the space]

Jasper and Ruby were traveling on a ship to Jupiter to meet Yellow Diamond, the quartz soldier was sitting watching the ship, somehow the red gem managed to keep his eyes fixed on navigating the ship while he was excited to have Jasper there after fix the configuration, she did not want to see the angry orange gem if it was the size of a Ruby "We will arrive in a few moments" The red gem sentence.

"Okay" Jasper responds without giving much importance to Ruby, who had to restrain himself at the slightest word that the orange gem addressed to her, his will is tested.

"Aaaaaand ... How was the mission to Earth?" Ruby asks curiously, however, her shoulders instantly tensed when she receives a serious look from Jasper, that didn't indicate anything good when the orange gem approached, even causing Ruby to sweat steam.

"It was a failure" The orange gem sentences simply, but her partner does not react in the same way, she almost drops her jaw.

"Than?!" Ruby stunned question, she turns her seat abruptly, the gem did not realize that her chair could destabilize the ship if it came to touch the control panel for some tiny error "How could you fail?! You among all the gems! " The red gem to its own personal idol.

"... It's complicated" The orange gem sentence without much emotion, at any moment Jasper could have crushed that Ruby who yelled at her, but the orange gem had nothing to prove, it was obvious that she could destroy that gem so below her level, she had broken Rubies before and she could do it again.

"Complicated ?! What can be in a ball of dirt and water that gets in your way ?!" Ruby exclaims, she's hysterical.

"Hey, calm down" Jasper sentenced seriously, but the reddish gem was even redder than usual, red with anger, she turns around kicking her chair, whose motion to fall hits the control panel, the ship deviates. Between Mars and Jupiter there is an asteroid belt, usually a ship of gems would not collide with any of these, the asteroids are so separated by a kilometer distance that it would be almost impossible to collide with the asteroids.

But the diversion of the ship causes them to fully impact one of the asteroids, Jasper had time to go out with Ruby and adhere to the meteorite due to the adaptive properties of the gems, however when she tries to save the ship, a considerable part of it had already been damaged against the meteorite "... You don't have spare parts or something like that, right?" Jasper asks Ruby.

"No!" The red gem grumbles with annoyance, making a kind of tantrum directed towards the orange gem, which for its part did not give much importance. Jasper takes a couple of steps, she looks more closely at the ship and the crash zone, they needed some basic machinery to make it work again. The orange gem then walked through the meteorite "What are you going to do ?! Walk to Jupiter ?!" Ruby questions with surprise when she sees Jasper leave, the orange gem stomped, checking something.

"If I could I would do it" Jasper sentences indifferently "Hey, I think the meteorite is empty" The orange gem claims with simplicity, a curious look of the red gem is directed towards her, then Ruby sees how Jasper takes invokes her helmet. A part of the Ruby wants to scream of emotion. For its part, the orange gem only used its helmet to pierce the meteorite layer, falling into the hollow interior, Ruby was not slow to throw after her.

There is no light there, but the orange and red gems soon generated it from their gems, they observe that all that meteorite had holes through its walls, similar to a precarious Kindergarten, Jasper turned quickly, because from the corner of her eye she note how a figure tried to hide quickly "Where are you going?" Jasper asks quickly, she catches a gem, which was not Ruby, but looked like two gems stuck together, although not by an artificial fusion.

Two Rutile that share a pair of legs and part of an abdomen "Ah!" The Rutile twins scream surprised and scared, Ruby is not slow to repeat the scream due to surprise.

"Get the rest out! I know there are more of you around here" Jasper orders authoritarian, silence forms as Rutile tries to break free, useless if you compare their strength to that of the quartz soldier, but it was worth trying for them. Soon Jasper soon heard how a giant gem crawled like a caterpillar towards her.

"Pleeeeeeeeeaaase, dooooooon't huuuuurt uuuuus ...." Fluorite implores, she is a gigantic gem of mainly blue, although she has another variety of colors. A disgusted face does not take long to form on the face of the orange gem, just the strange fusions seemed to chase her wherever she went.

"Holy Diamonds!" Ruby screams exalted and surprised, she stands behind Jasper, stuck to the leg of the orange gem. But in doing so, she also finds another small orange gem, Padparadscha.

"I sense that two gems are going to fall from the ceiling and we're going to be in trouble" Padparadscha soon predicts, confusing the Ruby that she had next to her, Jasper had four gems on fronts (three if you didn't count the Rutile as two ), but the orange gem knew there was another one, because she hears her sudden hysteria attack, hidden between the asteroid holes.

"..." Jasper inspects the holes, imperfect and poorly placed, the imperfection in all its splendor, she does it even with the Rutile in hand, they complain about the pressure that the quartz applied, if they were human, Jasper would leave a almost indelible mark "... Here you are" Jasper sentence finally, she pulls out another gem with her free arm, hidden between two holes due to a false wall, breaking part of the wall and dirtying the last of the gems with dust, Rhodonite.

Jasper goes to place the last of the gems with the rest of the group, she inspects them "What are you doing here?" Ruby asked curiously the different gems present, Fluorite was about to answer but the orange gem stopped her.

"Please, someone else. I can't stand your voice" Jasper sentence, to which the gigantic fusion is silenced.

"Jasper is going to ask Fluorite to shut up" Padparadscha exclaims surprised, she receives bad looks from the majority of gems present there. At the question of the orange gem, the Rutile twins try to answer by raising their hands, Jasper gives them the word.

"We ... eghhh. We were created here." One of the twins says, the other however rushes to add. "For the rebellion on Earth, Pink Diamond needed more soldiers but Earth didn't have enough Kindergarten, so, I try conduct an experiment on some meteorites "The reddish gem explains, surprising Jasper and Ruby for that statement.

"Jasper ... What should we do with them?" Ruby asks the orange gem with curiosity, she looks at the other gems in front of her.

"Is there an injector or some technology around here?" Jasper seriously questions, Fluorite nods and moves to one of the walls, raising his head Jasper can see some injectors and even a small machine room that verified that little Kindergarten. Fluorite with difficulty could get both "Can you work with that?" The orange gem asks Ruby.

"... Perhaps" The red gem sentence, going to review what Fluorite brought, she for her part also tries to help Ruby.

"Wait. What are you going to do with us ?!" Rhodonite asks Jasper, the fusion is scared, the panic attack consumed the fusion of a Ruby and a Pearl, Jasper also disliked that fusion that had a certain resemblance to Garnet, although perhaps it was already simple paranoia of the orange gem.

"You come with us" Jasper sentence after enduring only for a few moments in silence, all the gems except Jasper were surprised, while the strangest gems were surprised and terrified by what the orange gem said, Ruby was curious. But all that changed when Jasper of a single movement destroyed the physical form of Padparadscha.

She didn't see it coming.

The twins Rutile and Rhodonite try to run, but the orange gem had already caught them without much effort "Do not try anything" Jasper exclaims, she went to Fluorite, who shrugged next to Ruby and technology, seeing between the orange fingers of the soldier the gems of her friends. The gigantic fusion and the red gem managed to dismantle the technology and introduce it into the Ruby ship.

The orange gem did not have to wait long to attack and destroy the physical form of Fluorite, six fused gems, a barbarity so great that it hadn't even happened on Earth. Jasper then helped to get the ship out of there, after putting all the gems in orange bubbles. There was a terrible silence before the ship stabilized to take off, terrible only for Ruby rather, since Jasper cared little "... Why do we take them?" The red gem asks her partner.

"They are defective, so we will take them to Jupiter. Yellow Diamond should know what to do with them, the appropriate punishment. You know, forced fusion, break them, whatever" The orange gem sentences with indifference "Do you want to hear why the fault mission on Earth? " Jasper questions after a few moments, suddenly she has Ruby in her skirts, like a little girl who looked at her with her only eye with a starry pupil.

"Yes!" The red gem gets excited.

*****

After Jasper will tell the story, Ruby once again praised her unparalleled, although she also spent cursing the Crystal Gems during her trip to Jupiter, everything was quiet until suddenly a communication from Jupiter interrupts the trip, showing a Pearl of color yellow "The presence of this ship on the planet Homeworld is requested immediately to meet with Yellow Diamond" Communication as fast as it appears is cut off.

"How strange. Why would Yellow Diamond be at Homeworld?" Rubí wonders as she changes course towards the white-ringed planet, split in two but united by a gigantic mass of buildings and gem technology, surpassing the millions of people on Earth in population.

Jasper had no response to that message, but she is surprised, when on landing she watches the Yellow Diamond palanquin appear in front of her, Ruby could only marvel at that majestic vision of the glory of one of the empresses of the gems " Before you, the radiant Yellow Diamond "Yellow Pearl presents when the palanquin opens, showing the Diamond, with its gaze fixed on the duo of gems.

"Don't we send more Rubies?" Yellow Diamond asks Jasper curiously, that's when Ruby looks in all directions, she tries to find her team.

"Only this one came" The orange gem sentences simply, if Jasper said it, the red gem understood that it must be true, so she sighs happily thinking that her team should be somewhere else. On the other hand Yellow Diamond only turns her eyes without giving much importance, she unfolds a small staircase of her palanquin, inviting the duo to pass.

"... I am very surprised, you could almost say that I am jealous, Jasper facet" Yellow Diamond speaks with some discomfort, she extends her speech a little too much to the annoyance of the orange gem, Jasper swallows enough unnecessary words. They were words that didn't matter to her, but finally her Diamond reached the point "White Diamond asks for your presence" Yellow Diamond finally ends, to the sudden dismay of the two gems.

"... Does White Diamond ask for my presence?" Jasper questions stunned "She has not left in eons, my Diamond" The orange gem assures.

"I know!" Yellow Diamond responded quickly, she is exalted, the duo almost feels like the palanquin was broken by the shudder of her Diamond "How much have I achieved? My engineers are simply the best in the empire, I have the best soldiers, the best ships, the better production of gems, and White has not spoken to me in millennia since ... "The powerful gem laments herself.

The orange gem knows what her new Diamond was referring to, but she does not comment, in fact Jasper is silent to Ruby before she will ask something, it was not the time "But this is not the time to talk about me. What you bring there? " The Diamond asks, she points out the orange bubbles that Jasper brought.

"They are faulty gems that we found along the way. My Diamond, this is really scary," Jasper clarifies seriously, attracting Yellow Diamond's attention for her comments, but then they had arrived more quickly than expected at the Homeworld palace, before all Diamonds they lived there, but now it was almost exclusively White's residence.

A White Pearl with a damaged eye appeared, in a rigid posture, this gem should guide Jasper and Ruby with the first of the Diamonds. That huge and empty palace is cold, Jasper can not even compare the feeling that place gave the effect that had Blue Diamond near the gems.

But any feeling seems to be eliminated when she sees her, White Diamond in all its splendor, sitting on her throne with a cape that reminded of the cosmos itself, she is alone with a still smile "Welcome" The Diamond greets with a distant voice and without apparent emotion more than a little joy.

Jasper and Ruby do not take long to give a cordial greeting, they expect the Diamond to tell them something "What do you have in your hands, little Jasper?" White Diamond exclaims curiously, surprising the orange gem, which suddenly had the Diamond inclined towards her, watching the orange bubbles.

"... They are strange gems my Diamond. Defective" Jasper exclaims, she with concentration destroys all the bubbles, releasing the gems there, but in such a way that the light forms of more than six gems, and that of a Ruby and a Pearl, fuse. There were again dismayed twins Rutile, Padparadscha, Fluorite and Rhodonite.

"Oh, look we have here" White Diamond exclaims with surprise and her distant voice, the faulty gems are fixed on her. The defective ones are paralyzed.

"OH NO!" Rhodonite screams, she is afraid, she tries to run but suddenly she is between the fingers of the Diamond, like the rest of her companions, she trembled as White's eyes watched her, a maternal smile formed on the face of the Diamond .

"My little girls, so cute and adorable. What mistakes should I have made for you to be born like that? But don't worry, mom is here" White Diamond sentences, suddenly all the gems between her hands lose color and separate, destroying the physical form of the defective gems once again "Do you two want to see something too, my daughters?" The Diamond asked the two gems that were left there, this time the gems in White's hands regained their color and rebuilt their physical form, but instead of the same as before, these gems were in their most basic form, more as dolls "Pink, Yellow and Blue tried to imitate this using rejuvenators, but they could never get over my original version, without defects" White Diamond exclaims proud of herself, leaving the gems next to her White Pearl "Go to assign them a job Pearl "The Diamond orders.

"That was ... impressive, my Diamond" The orange gem assures, to which White smiles as she had recently done.

"Thank you very much, my little girl." The Diamond exclaims. "Now tell me, before you tell me about the mission on the Earth ... What would you tell me, if I told you that Pink Diamond never died?" White Diamond sentences with curiosity, Jasper is in a bad mood, she boils and expels electricity through her body without being able to respond properly, she didn't want to insult a Diamond. "I thought so. Let me explain a little more, it's so obvious that even a Zircon might realize, but Blue and Yellow would never admit it. Do you know how Pink Diamond was "broken" ? "

"Yes! I saw it with my own eyes!" Ruby jumps excitedly, Jasper wanted to shut her up one more time, and she was about to do it, if not because the white gem stopped them.

"My little girls, it is not necessary to fight. My little Ruby, you think you have seen Pink being broken, but no, there are too many inconsistencies there. Where was her Pearl? Her quartz escort? All her court? How Is it possible that Rose Quartz will simply walk to a Diamond, unsheathe her sword and break a gem without anyone doing anything to stop her? It was all a fake, a trick made by Pink, I let her play her stupid game, but she can't escape from me, she is my daughter, she is part of everything I was, I am and I will be "White Diamond exclaims seriously, almost annoyance.

"... How could that be possible? Why would she do that ?!" Jasper screams furiously at the Diamond, for a few moments there are no answers, the orange gem feels its end is approaching, but nothing happens, just a compassionate look from the Diamond towards her.

"You are such a perfect quartz, but pitifully you never met Pink,t you should worship her even now. You are perfectly made for that." White laments, she passes one of the gigantic fingertips through Jasper's hair. "Pink I was very rebellious, and when I say rebel I literally say it "The Diamond laughs at her own words, her laughter pierces the air and emptied the entire palace, echoing.

"..." Jasper is silent "What do you mean?"

"Witnesses say that Rose Quartz healed gems with her tears, that she invoked sentinels through the plants, that she could control her descent, that she invoked a shield and a bubble, unbeatable in combat, charismatic and that the gems seemed to follow her naturally as they would follow to a Diamond ... Don't you realize? Or don't you want to believe Rose is Pink Diamond? " White Diamond exclaims dramatically, almost as if it were his play.

The orange gem in front of her simply wanted to disappear "Stop lying" Jasper orders simply, the gem cannot show emotions at that moment, but she is about to explode with rage, deep down Jasper wanted to cry.

"Oh, I would never lie to you my little girl, a mother should not lie to her daughters. Unfortunately Pink was not a good mother for all her gems, as emotional as she was, her outbursts, her whims, all inherited from me at the end, but unlike me, Pink couldn't control herself, look what she did to the sweet Pearl "White points to her Pearl, standing there, smiling.

"... Rose Quartz ... is ... Pink Diamond ... Impossible, Rose Quartz is still on ... Earth" Jasper spits incredulously, she has a continuous, she didn't stutter, but the disgust of saying those words, this attacked her when she gave a few words little by little, Ruby on her part was fallen on the ground, the red gem already had tears falling from her only eye.

"Yes, I could always feel the spectrum of Pink, she was still alive ... but that feeling stopped a few seconds ago ... seconds for me of course, since she was on Earth, those would be about 14 years ago and a little more. However you say she is still on Earth. How is that possible? " White Diamond asks curiously, the orange gem is quick to answer.

"She took a new form, it's disgusting" Jasper exclaims furiously, to which the tip of a Diamond nail touches her forehead "My Diamond ... What are you doing?" The orange gem questions curious.

There are a few moments of silence "... I see, how interesting, Pink does not stop surprising me" White sentence, she then takes Ruby and Jasper to sit back on her throne, the Diamond places both gems in her lap "I read the images of this new Rose Quartz that showed your mind. Curious. But I want to hear it from your mouth my little Jasper, it's much simpler. Tell me about your adventures on Earth" White orders with a small smile, Jasper can only Looking from below, White Diamond reminded her of the Sun and as she looked from Earth, it was difficult to look at her without being blind because of her light.

******

Yellow Diamond walks through the Homeworld palace, the Diamond had been outside waiting and waiting for her two gems to return, it was simply amazing that White preferred to speak first with a Jasper, however perfect it was. And a Ruby! Before her, but finally her sister had called her to the throne room.

"White?" Yellow greets, she contains her emotion under a facade of seriousness, there then observes her companion, sitting on the throne with Jasper and Ruby in her arms, the other Diamond approaches White when she gestured for him to approach.

"This Jasper already told me about his mission on Earth, but now I want you to inform us of The Cluster, and I wanted you to be here" White exclaims with a small smile, suddenly Yellow could not feel more flattered, but she had to contradict the other Diamond.

"I'm sorry White, but she's a quartz, she shouldn't watch The Cluster, we still don't have news of Peridot, The Cluster shouldn't have been activated yet" Yellow Diamond exclaims confidently, she tries to prove herself to her sister, but Jasper lifts her hand and White's gaze is directed towards her.

"Actually, my Diamond. The Cluster is active, I was among the humans in Korea and in their little ... cubes ... that show images, The Cluster appeared. Be active, but it's not nearly half of powerful than he should, he has been devouring the surface layer of a continent "Jasper explains, White holds a small laugh while Yellow was ashamed.

"... I think that's fine, Yellow, stay a little longer, we're not done yet. I'll summon Blue in a short time, but I'd like to tell you something" White Diamond exclaims calmly, attracting the attention of all the gems present less the White Pearl, who was going to summon Blue Diamond "I will travel to Earth in a short time"
