Let's help Steven!

There's no time!

Then what do we do?

Let's flee the planet as fast as we can.

*terrified* Are you kidding?!It's impossible to flee from this attack!

Only Steven's shield can repel it without problems.

That's true, it was Rose/Pink who saved Garnet and myself millennia ago!

But now she's not here and neither is Steven.

So we have no escape, huh?

*hysterical* We're going to be corrupted, or maybe it will something worse this time!!

Pearl, calm down! We have to prepare to face this with serenity.

[At the same time.]

(The place where Spinel, Jasper and Bluebird are.)

*looking up at the sky* Hmm, I think I've seen something like that somewher-

*yells at the sky* Damn you, Emerald! You betrayed me! Don't even think you'll get away with this!!

Hey, you seem to know something about the glow in the sky, don't you?!

You'd better start talking, you little runt!

Okay, okay, I'll tell you! There's no point in covering up for Emerald anyway.

Well?

You see, Emerald has the Diamonds under her control, she got it thanks to White Diamond's mental powers.

What does that mean?

White Diamond can channel the thoughts of others into her body, so they can control her instead.

Indeed. Emerald suppressed White Diamond's consciousness and locked her in a little room in her head, that way she can control her body and her abilities at will. She then used the gem control beam on Yellow Diamond and Blue Diamond.

*surprised* Yellow and Blue too?!

It can't be!

And by the looks of it, she's got Steven now too.

No way!

My Diamond! *looks worriedly up at the sky*

[Back into space.]

(Emerald finishes charging the Diamond blast.)

It's finally ready! *laughs* Now, let's see if I can blow up a whole planet with my new DIAMOND POWE-!!!

(Suddenly, something catches Emerald's attention.)

*surprised* Huh?

(A confused Emerald slowly turns to Steven.)

S-Steven?

(Steven is seen slowly and effortly lowering his arm, still resisting Emerald's mind control.)

Wha-what's going on!?!? Could it be that his conscience wants to get out?!

(Steven backs up.)

If so, then I won't allow it!! *tries to suppress Steven's conscience*

*pauses* Ahhh!

(Steven struggles, trying his best to break free of Emerald's mind control.)

*grunts* Grrr!!

(Part of Steven's consciousness breaks free from the mind control, so he gradually begins to lose the green color.)

What the hell?!?!?

*yells* Emerald!!

Impossible, why can't I suppress his conscience?!

(Half of Steven's body has returned to its original color.)

How can you possibly resist White Diamond's mind-controlling powers?!

*struggling* Wanna know the answer?!

...

*yelling* It doesn't matter that you control my body or my gem!!

...?!

I've got something that neither you, nor White Diamond, nor anyone else will ever be able to control!

*confused* Wh-what do you mean?

My humanity!

Huma-what?!

My humanity is something that no one can ever take away from me!!!

*enraged* I told you I'm not interested in your stupid things!

(Emerald makes an effort to suppress Steven's consciousness and succeeds in making her green color extend to his neck.)

*struggling* Grrr! I'll never let anyone control me, much less someone like you! *manages to make the green color on her body decrease*

*bewildered* N-No way! You! You're not a Gem!

You're absolutely right! I AM NOT a Gem!

Then... *backs up in fear* Wh-what are you?!

Well, you see...

(Steven remembers his mother's words.)

Every moment you love being yourself, that's me, loving you and loving being you. Because you're going to be something extraordinary, you're going to be a human being.

*yelling* I AM STEVEN UNIVERSE! And I AM A HUMAN BEING!!

(After a shout, Steven completely frees himself from Emerald's mind control.)

Dammit!!

*thinking to himself* Mom, your words saved me. I knew someday something good would come out of you. Thank you so much.

*angered* How?!?! How can this be possible?!

This is possible because I'm a human being! I love and I'm proud to be one!!

...

Now you know what I am.

*grunts* All right, Steven the human! *furiously* Since you're sooooo proud to be a part of a lower life-form, answer me something!

...?

What can a pathetic human being like you do against this?!

(A furious Emerald quickly turns to Homeworld and blasts it with the other three Diamonds.)

*in anguish* NOOO!!! What have you done?!?!
