I don't care what happens!!

(Emerald holds out her arm, aiming at Homeworld, consequently, so do the Diamonds.)

I'll destroy everything and everyone on this planet!!

(Just then, Steven manages to get out of the ship with one of his bubbles around his head, emulating a space helmet.)

*yells* Emerald, don't do it!!

Huh? *turns around* You're here!

Please stop!

*yells furiously* LEAVE ME ALONE!

I won't let you ruin your life!

My life is already ruined because of YOU!!

Of course not! You just need to change your mind!

I don't need to!

I know changes can be hard to accept.

...

But they're a natural part of life!

THEY ARE NOT!

Starting a new path is scary, but you know what's scarier?

...

It's the fact that you'll later regret not even trying it.

What a stupid thing!

After every step we take, we realize how dangerous it was to just stand there *walks up to Emerald*

*backs up a little* STAY AWAY!!

All changes are difficult at the beginning, confusing in the middle, but beautiful in the end!

(Steven stands in front of her.)

It's quite amazing how your life can change when you decide to change a thought.

All great changes bring great chaos! Just look at when you dethroned the Diamonds, everyone wondered how a nobody had been able to defeat the most powerful beings in the universe! There was confusion, unrest, uproar, and chaos throughout the universe for weeks - all because of your change!

I know. But they all calmed down when I explained that I had helped them out of that bad life they were leading. Besides, I created Little Homeschool to guide the confused and lost Gems without the direction of the Diamonds. Everyone liked it and accepted the change, why didn't you?

I-I...

(A bewildered Emerald ponders on her own.)

You can do it right now, right here. *holds out his hand* Come on, take my hand and let's fix this mess together, you won't be alone.

(Emerald, after pondering for a moment, takes Steven's hand.)

All right, I'm going to do it.

Wise decision, Emerald. You'll soon see that it's worth the risk and take advantage of this great opportunity to grow.

...

Change can be scary at first, but every change is good, no matter how small, you'll see you'll get used to it.

Steven, can I tell you something?

Sure thing.

Thank you.

*smiles* Don't mention it, that's what I do.

*smirks evilly* Thank you for being a total moron, Steven Universe!

*confused* Huh?!

(Emerald immediately squeezes Steven's hand hard, making his bones creak.)

*screaming in pain* Gahh! Wh-what are you doing?!

You let your guard down!

Let go of my hand! *trying to break free* You're hurting me!

*chuckles evilly* Goodbye!!

(Emerald uses White Diamond's powers and fires a white energy beam at Steven.)

NO!!

(Steven fails to dodge and is hit by White Diamond's Gem control beam.)

*enraged* Y-you tricked me! *panting* Wh-why?!

(Steven's gem turns green, and this color begins to spread throughout his body.)

I've had enough of listening to your nonsense.

(Steven's body turns pink and he resists being controlled by Emerald, but the green color increasingly spreads throughout his body.)

N-no way!!

*chuckles* You're stupid, you should never trust anyone!

*struggling* Grrh! *panting* I-I've gotta–!

I thought you came here to take me down or something. *chuckles tauntingly* But it turned out you only came to make a fool of yourself.

*screaming in anguish* I-I gotta be able to hold on!! *struggling*
