--One hundred and ten years before the Universe Concordat--

White's ship orbited the Gem Homeworld. She was on the bridge, staring out into the deep recesses of space, sitting with a friend and fellow ruler.

"What did you say these... "homo sapiens" called this concoction? Tea?"

She took a sip from an aquamarine crystalline cup.

"What a rich flavor, so surprisingly filling... And I don't even function metabolically."

Pink giggled as she took a sip herself.

"Speaking of functioning metabolically... These 'humans'... I think we should try a different approach."

White raised an eyebrow.

"And what do you mean by that?"

"Don't worry... I have a plan."

Her form began to morph into that of a human, with long, wavy pink hair and a larger body type.

"Meet Rose Quartz, traitor to the Diamond Authority!"

White's expression remained stone solid, until she cracked up into laughter.

"Are you serious? Even I think you're underestimating the intelligence of these apes!"

"Aww," 'Rose' said as she turned away, "I guess those months and months of conversations with human rebel leaders don't matter..."

"What?"

White set her cup down as 'Rose' looked back, a mischievous smile on her face.

"You didn't know?" asked 'Rose' as she turned back into Pink. "I singlehandedly convinced a good chunk of human rebel leaders to join Rose's peace movement. We all think our tensions can be resolved without full scale colonization."

White scoffed.

"Once the humans find out about our... policies... They won't exactly be clamoring to be part of us."

Pink gave White a wink as she stood up, her cup dematerializing as she opened a portal and morphed back into Rose.

"You'll see."

--Fifty years before the Universe Concordat--

"Pink," White complained, "I told you how much I despise these primitive devices!"

"Cross universe communication powered by quantum entanglement isn't primitive, White!"

"We surpassed quantum technology several millenia ago!"

White heard Pink groan.

"I'm not here to listen to you whine, 'my Diamond'," she exclaimed in a mocking voice. "I'm here to talk about solutions!"

"Then talk to your human friends!"

"We all want peace, you don't! There's not a lot of discussion for me to have with them at this point! Why are you so resistant to peace!?"

"Let me guess - you haven't told them a word about the trafficking ring, have you!? Of course not! You'd lose all your support in a microsecond!"

"For the millionth fucking time, it's not a trafficking ring! It's mass community indentured servitude!"

"I thought you stopped telling that lie decades ago! We need to stop all of it now, or else-"

"Aw, is that some regret I hear in the mighty White Diamond!? Don't act like you're a saint just because you fEeL bAd AbOuT tOuChInG bOy GeMs!"

"And you don't!? How can you not!?"

"We're saving them, idiot!"

"You're saving them from what you'll do to them anyways!?"

"Better we teach them and give them shelter and food and a loving owner than let them suffer and die in-"

"And that's the difference between me and you, Pink! If I had to choose between making someone my slave and letting them die, I'D JUST LET THEM DIE!"

The line was dead quiet for several seconds.

"I didn't mean that," White said in a hushed tone before hanging up. She unplugged the wire from her phone and put it back in her bedside dresser. She laid in bed, a smoky black hand grazing her shoulder.

"You alright, Miss Diamond?"

White sighed as she held the hand on her shoulder.

"Everything's fine, Schranz. It's just that the situation with Earth is... really ugly."

She turned in bed to face Schranz, a young Gem of nine years gifted to her by the colony of Kizuju. His boyish face, adorable little dot eyes and smoke-black coloring contrasted heavily with not just White's room, but White herself. He looked concerned, but that didn't break his warm, energetic smile.

"You can just tell everyone to stop being mean to the Earthlings. They'll listen to you."

A worried expression on her face, White forced a smile.

"Schranz, dear... It's not that easy. Even my word isn't enough to keep the more... unhappy factions of our empire in check. They want to make the humans join us, while Ro- eh, Pink and I want peace between us. And there are a whole lot of very loud, very angry Gems who lost their own from rebelling humans..."

She hugged Schranz tight, making Schranz hug back.

"Miss Diamond, are we gonna play again?"

"...No, sweetheart... I promised you that we'd never play together. I think you're worth more than what any of the other Diamonds think you're worth."

Schranz gave White a contagious grin.

"Miss Diamond? Pink and the others sound like jerks!"

--Forty years before the Universe Concordat--

"Ah, man... No offense, Miss Diamond, but this really beats what we do on your ship..."

Schranz stretched as he and Diamond soaked up the nighttime city skyline on Homeworld. The two were laying by themselves on a crystalline knoll, staring up at the sky.

"Schranz?" White asked.

"Yes, miss?"

"I'm... really sorry for... everything."

"Don't be sorry, miss."

"I really should be..."

"No, no~"

He held her hand as he turned his head towards her.

"Going by what you tell me, you saved me."

"N- no, I only saved you from a life with your loving family and-"

"They didn't love me, though."

White was stunned.

"What makes you say that?"

"My family... made me do stuff. Some of the stuff you said you'd protect me from."

Her eyes widened from Schranz's revelation.

"What?... You never told me any of this."

"I figured early on that if I did, you'd use me the same way..."

"Schranz, sweetheart..."

White hugged Schranz, starting to cry.

"Its just a no win situation, isn't it!?"

"What is?"

"It's either leave you with your family or take you somewhere to do what they did to you!"

"...You're not talking about me, are you?"

"I, I just, I don't know anymore..."

White broke down in tears, Schranz comforting her by sitting her upright and pecking her on the cheek.

"Excuse me?... My Diamond, what are you doing here with this... rabble?"

The unknown voice in front of them made the two look straight at it. It was a gem in excessively militarized garb, unnecessarily overloaded with weapons and materials for the setting. White wiped off some of her tears and stood with Schranz.

"Excuse me, underling?"

"Not to sound out of line, My Diamond, but your taste in younglings... Tsk, tsk. He looks like you should have dropped him years ago."

"Enough. What's your business here?"

"We're just enforcing the law, My Diamond."

"Your outfit doesn't exactly say 'official Authority enforcer' to me."

"We aren't official, we just make sure that our catches are handled officially."

White clenched her fists, knowing exactly what this Gem meant. She held in her rage.

"Any 'catches' tonight?"

"Yup. Some poor bastard was holding a bunch of em. Got em all locked up and ready for relocation."

"If you don't mind, I'd like to come with."

The other Gem raised an eyebrow.

"Sure..."

After a few minutes of walking, the Gem led the pair to the back of a secluded house at the city limits. The gem knocked on the door leading to an outside basement.

"Hey, Mala! Open up! We got someone special to help us out!"

The basement door opened up to another gem in a similar outfit. She took one look at White before removing her helmet and kneeling.

"My Diamond, it's an honor to meet you."

"At ease," White said. "How are the, uh... Captures?"

"They're not going anywhere," the gem said. "We caught 'em off guard, we're just waiting for the transport at this point."

"I see... May I... review your captures?"

Using such language made her feel sick. The leader gem nodded.

"Yes, ma'am. Watch your step."

The two headed down into the humid, unkempt basement to find a group sitting around a table, blindfolded and gagged, some of them audibly crying as they wrestled with their bonds. White struggled to contain her raw, explosive anger. Behind the other gem, her fist surged with energy as she let her rage fuel her power.

"And where are these captures going?" she asked through clenched teeth.

"What's wrong, My Diamond? We were just taking them to the reeducation facility near-"

The gem didn't get to finish. In a moment, White plunged her hand into the gem's back, forcing the gem out of her from the front. White crushed the gem in her hand with ease.

"You shall not be missed," she fiercely whispered as the gem disintegrated into light, the uniform she was wearing falling to the floor. She went outside, preparing an energy blast when she saw the other gem laying her hands on Schranz.

"Oh, hey, uh... This is exactly what it looks li-"

The gem saw the energy ball in White's hand and immediately became frightened.

"Wha-! HOLY SHIT! PLEASE, GOD, NO! DON'T KILL ME!"

"I won't."

White rushed towards the gem and pushed the energy ball into her abdomen, holding her up with a single hand before firing the energy ball - and the gem with it - up into the sky. It exploded into a spectacular firework, with the gem plummeting back down towards the ground, her gem shattered.

"See?" White said. "I didn't kill you. Physics did."

The other gem disintegrated without a sound. White took Schranz's hand.

"Schranz? I think the Authority will be fine with a few 'misplaced' captures, don't you?"

--Ten years before the Universe Concordat--

"Schranz? I... I'm really going to miss you..."

"I'll be fine."

He kissed her on the cheek.

"And so will you."

Schranz gave White a smile as he walked into his escape pod and departed from her ship. White waved at his pod as it hurtled towards the colony of Kizuju. A glum look on her face as the pod gradually got harder and harder to see, she soon trudged back into her personal quarters and laid on her bed, empty for the first time in decades. She was about to lay down when something in her bedside dresser vibrated.

What's in there? White thought before immediately realizing what it was. She pulled the old, dusty phone out to see an unknown number calling her. She answered.

"How did you get this number?"

"Hey, White. It's Rose."

Her sad expression morphed into one of anger.

"Oh, it's you. Did you call to tell me how many human kids you and your band of nobodies have touched since we last spoke?"

"I'm here to talk about peace."

"There's nothing to talk about with someone like you outside than your hard labor sentence."

"White, I've done it! I've got all the humans under one banner, and a whole bunch of Gems too! Peace is coming whether you like it or not!"

"I DO like the idea of peace with the humans. But it can't happen under the Authority as it is now! Especially not with you running around molesting and-"

"I don't want to argue about this again!"

"Because you know it's indefensible!?"

"...It was nice talking to you."

"Don't you hang up on-"

The disconnect tone rung.

"...Me."

She laid back on her bed, feeling angry before clearing her head. Then, she headed out of her room and taking an escape pod herself.

You're right, Schranz, she thought. I will be fine.

--Eight years after the Universe Concordat--

White had been working hard for almost twenty years. It was good work. Honest labor for an honest living. The colony free from the shackles of the Authority, Kizuju soon became a small, isolated farming community, and a haven for those affected by the crimes of the Empire. It was mostly made up of male presenting gems, but it was a close-knit home to all who wanted to live the rest of their lives in peace. And one of those lives was coming to an end.

"Schranz? Please, please stay with me for a little bit longer..."

White sat at the side of Schranz's bed, his old body splayed out. His smile was as young as when they first met. He didn't say anything, he just smiled at her as his life began to fade. White got into bed with him for one last time, holding him close, kissing him on the cheek.

"Please, please, please... I don't want to lose my only friend..."

Schranz silently smiled at her as she cried in his shoulder.

"I... I can extend your life with my powers, sweetheart..."

"Don't, Miss Diamond... Just let me go."

His words shook her.

"You... You don't want to..."

"No. I've had my fun, and I've had my chances. I'm ready, Miss Diamond."

"I- I've always loved you."

"I know."

His smile remained steady as he began to fade away into light. White held a tight grip on his hand before it dissipated. In a few seconds, he was gone. White laid there, motionless, without expression, tears streaming down her face.

What will I do now? He's been my everything for fifty years. And now he's dead...

--Two years later--

"Alright... Yeah, uh-huh... Thanks, Blue."

White hung up as she approached the ship. It belonged to what her former colleagues would call a rebel group, despite there being not much to rebel against. The flight controls stopped responding. She recieved a transmission.

"We recognize your ship, White. Come along quietly and we'll see that you won't be executed the moment you step off."

"I have no intention of resisting."

"Good."

She walked to the docking bay of her ship and was greeted by an escort led by Jasper.

"Alright, you heard the gem, get her to room C2-"

She stopped mid sentence. She looked over and saw another, much bigger ship approaching the docking bay.

"Holy shit. Secure her and get back!"

Several gems tackled White before getting her up and dragging her to the ship entrance. She didn't resist. The other ship's docking mechanism jammed into the port. They waited for the commotion to settle down. An automated voice came over the intercom.

"Pressurization levels normal. It is safe to enter: Docking bay."

"Get her to C2," Jasper ordered as she opened the door to the docking bay. Her weapon at her hip, she cautiously approached the other ship's airlock. It slowly opened up, a small figure stumbling out. It was a human boy in a pink shirt and jeans. He looked dizzy as he dropped to the floor, curling up into a ball. Jasper looked confused.

"Uh... You okay, kid?-"

"LAAAAAAAAAAND! SOLID LAA-A-AAND!"

He remained motionless as another figure emerged from the large craft. Jasper cracked a half smile.

"Should've known it was you, Garnet. You picked a hell of a way introduce yourself to our new friend."

"No speaking... I need a few minutes to hug the floor..."

Garnet braced her fall with her arms before collapsing to the floor with the boy. The boy gave a light chuckle.

"Am I safe now, Garnet?"

"Yes."
