Time to put an end to this!

Feels good, doesn't it?

Huh?

Humiliating others, walking all over them, laughing at them, making them feel worthless, feels good, doesn't it? Believe it or not, I totally understand you. I also have that need to feel superior to others, just like you.

*grunts* You little-!

It's kinda sad. But it's also kinda comforting to know that you're not the only one, isn't it, Emerald? Don't deny that we have a lot in common

*laughs in mockery* No, my dear! You're the only crazy Gem with problems here! You got a screw loose after getting the beating of your life, I believe!

My head hurts quite a bit, actually. So what you're saying is very likely, or maybe you just helped me realize it, don't you think? You should reflect on it and maybe you'll understand that regretting the life you got is useless.

I've never regretted the life I got! Nor have I ever doubted that I was superior to others! I...

(Flashback.)

It should certainly piss me off that you had the audacity to intercept our little personal journey. But at the end of the day, our duty as Diamonds is to give voice to our little Gems.

Little Gems?

Yes, as we Diamonds are the biggest and most powerful Gems, we must look out for the welfare of the smaller and weaker Gems. Protecting them and helping them in their problems is the least we can do.

Pfff! I don't have any problems!

Of course you do. Wait, don't tell me! I can see it, it's written all over your gem - inferiority, or am I wrong?

What the--?!

You yearn to be the most perfect Gem and superior to the rest, don't you? I'm afraid you've gotten very seriously carried away with our old ideology, I apologize for that. And I'm glad you've come to the right place.

Huh?

In all the universe there's no one else that could know what you're going through, so maybe it's time you talked to yourself.

(White Diamond reaches out to Emerald, pointing to her.)

...

Would you like to try?

Okay.

(White Diamond starts using her powers, allowing Emerald to take control of her. As this happens White Diamond's voice and color changes to match Emerald's.)

(Emerald) Woah, this is so great, I can feel her immense power coursing through my body! *laughs maniacally* I'm so big! I'm so great! I'm... I'm a Diamond! Yes, I'm finally what I was always meant to be!

*laughing* Stupid White Diamond, you'll regret leaving your body in my power! I'll never give it back to you! Now perish in the depths of your mind! *laughs* I don't need anyone's help! I'm perfectly fine! In fact, I've never felt better! *laughs* This was easier than I thought. Now, let's get the others!

(Flashback ends abruptly.)

*in pain* Hey, what are you thinking? You weren't going to shatter me? Man, you're really taking your time. Come on, get it over with already, will you?

Don't be so impatient, my dear, can't you see I'm a Diamond? I've got better things to think about than crap like you.

Excuse me, what did you say you are?

I said I'm a Diamond! Feel lucky I'm taking the time to kill you.

*bursts into laughter* No, you're not! *laughs* Not by a long shot! *laughs*

Shut the hell up! Of course I am!

*chuckles in mockery* You never will be, you won't even be able to match them.

Ha, ha, very funny. I don't give a damn about the impertinences babbled by an inferior Gem like you.

Yes, I am. As for you, no matter how much you want to, no matter how many Gems you shatter, and no matter how much you regret the life you got, you'll never stop being inferior to the Diamonds. I think it wouldn't hurt for you to accept reality, just as I do.

... Glad you accept that you are an inferior Gem to me. Lucky for you, I've got the answer to all your problems! *shouts* DIE!!!!

(Emerald kicks Mean Lapis very hard on the gem on her left arm, sending her flying far into space.)

Wow! She's very tough. I thought my kick was strong enough to tear her gem apart, but she didn't even poof. Anyway, I just have to-

(Suddenly, a spaceship approaches and positions itself behind Emerald, and then someone shouts over a loudspeaker.)

Emerald!!!

Eh?! Now what?!

(Emerald turns around and sees in shock that the ship behind her is...)

No way, that's- *yells in rage* That's my precious ship!!

(Emerald's Sun Incinerator ship, crewed by Lars and the Off-Colors, has arrived.)

How is it possible that my sun incinerator was stolen again?!

You really should guard your things better.

There were one hundred elite Citrines guarding it!

*in mockery* Would you believe me if I told you I didn't see them?

Grrr! You jerk, you think you're funny?!

Pretty much, yes! What can I say? That's just how I am!

Wait a minute! I recognize that voice! *gasp in shock* No way! You are...

Oh, I see you've already remembered me.

*thunderstruck* No, no, no! This can't be true! There's no way you're him, the captain of the Off-Colors!

You hit the nail on the head! It's me, Lars of the stars! You miss me?!

*in disbelief* I-it can't be! Why are you alive?! I'm pretty sure I killed you!

I'm immortal, baby!

What did you just call me?!

(The Sun Incinerator prepares its blasters.)

Are you by any chance too?!

*in fear* W-wait, wh-what are you thinking to do?!

*shouts* FIRE!!

(The Sun Incinerator fires an energy blast at Emerald.)

H-Hold on!

(Emerald manages narrowly to dodge the energy blast.)

Phew!

What?!?! How could she dodge that?!?!

*laughs* What a good aim you have, Off Colors! *she said in derision* I expected no less of you! *laughs*

Tch. *to his crew* Guys, don't miss next time please.

(The Sun Incinerator fires over and over again, but Emerald dodges all the energy blasts from her own ship.)

*in derision* You'll never hit me with that lack of precision of yours! *laughs*

We won't tolerate you laughing at us to our faces!

Oh yeah? *she asked in derision* I highly doubt you can do anything against me, can't you see that you're nothing but worthless beings?

Well, "these worthless beings" managed to steal your ship, not once, but twice!

Yes, that's it, rejoice in your greatest and ONLY achievement in life! *she said with a smirk on her face*

Grrr! We'll soon wipe that smirk off your face!

*chuckles* You wish.

(Lars and the Off Colors once again fire energy blasts at Emerald with her Sun Incinerator, and despite the constant attacks, she again dodges them with great ease and agility.)

*laughs* Come on, face it! You'll never be able to beat me, especially not with my own ship! Nobody knows it better than I do! I know perfectly well where each of its blasters is located, as well as its firing speed! Just knowing that is enough for me to dodge all your attacks!

That's not fair, just hold still for a second!

What for? So I can't dodge and you can kill me more easily, right?! Do you think I'm stupid or what?!

(The Off-Colors keep firing at Emerald repeatedly, but she once again dodges all the energy blasts by jumping nimbly.)

*enraged* Enough of this nonsense! I won't tolerate pathetic lower lifeforms like all of you to keep sullying my perfect, flawless, BEAUTIFUL SUN INCINERATOR!!!!

(Emerald attempts to use the Diamonds to attack Lars.)

Good riddance, Off-Colors!

*frightened* Oh, jeez!

Did you think you could take me down, huh? *laughs* Nobody can!

Hey!

*surprised* What the--?!

(Mean Lapis appears out of nowhere and with her water wings turned into hands grabs Emerald from behind, wrapping her arms, body and pinning her in place.)

Don't forget about me!

*furiously* You again?! What do you think you're doing?!?!

I helped you with your plans from the very beginning! *squeezes Emerald tightly with her water hands* Now I'm going to put an end to this nonsense once and for all, though!!!

*screams in pain* Gah! How is it that you still have the strength to keep moving?! Let me go!!

I'm never letting you go! *keeps squeezing Emerald even tighter*

Grrr! *struggling* I won't stand for this! *unhingedly* I'm gonna kill you! I'm gonna kill you in the worst way you can imagine!!

It's clear that we're both a hopeless case, so brace yourself!

Huh?!

*confused by what's happening* Who the heck is that Gem?

*to the sun incinerator* Hey!! The guy in the ship!!

Hm? Are you talking to me?!

Emerald can't move anymore, there's no way you can miss now!

*frightened* What?! Did you lose your mind?!

Come on, fire! Fire!

Are you aware of what you're asking for!? These blasters are capable of completely obliterating a Gem! In other words, if one of them hits you, you're gonna–

I don't give a damn what happens to me! Just hurry up and get this over with!!!

Hmm, I don't know. I'm not really sure about this.

Wh-what did you say?!

*struggling to break free* Graaah! LEMME GO RIGHT NOW!

*struggles to hold Emerald down* Don't be stupid! Stop wasting time, you'll never get another chance like this again!!

*doubtful* But...
