63. HomeWorld

HomeWorld. The birthplace of all gems, the original planet. It was here that the Diamond Empire was born. They've finally arrived. The lair of the beast.

The place where everything began and everything will end.

This is a planet, as it is easy to guess. There are two rings flying around it, like Saturn's. The planet itself is destroyed. It is divided into small islands that fly in space. The color of the planet was completely white. Only white.

--- So that's what he is, HomeWorld.

--- I hope you have a plan. Otherwise, the White will crush us.

--- Yellow, calm down. We have a trump card. - August glanced surreptitiously at Bismuth and nodded to her. She nodded back.

--- We have Stephen. And he is a Pink Diamond. White should pay attention to this.

--- August, be careful. - Blue worries about him all the time. It's cute. That's why she's his favorite Diamond.

--- Don't worry, everything will be fine.

...

--- Everything is not okey !

Everything went wrong from the very beginning. Instead of meeting them, the White Man sent an army after their souls. Apparently she found out that August is here. And now, he and his friends are in prison. Except for Stephen. He was taken away.

--- We need to get out of here, it's better not to wait for a decision on what they will do with us.

In fact, August was alone in prison. His friends were deprived of physical form and locked in bubbles. He himself was hung on shackles made of very strong material. It's not easy to break them, he tried.

--- What did Yoda say ? Feel the inner strength ? It would be very useful to me now.

" I know at least two Diamond powers out of four. There are still forces of unknown gems. We need to wake them up somehow, otherwise we will find ourselves in a complete ass. "

August closed his eyes and tried to feel something. But apart from the emptiness, he found nothing.

--- Heck! Why is it always like this?! When I need something, it's not there ! Pisses me off ! - she began to struggle out of the shackles like an animal.

--- Come on ! I.Need.A.Strength ! - for a second, literally for one second, August's body turned completely pink, after which he tore out a piece of the wall and broke the shackles.

--- Haha ! I knew it ! It seems that these are the power of Pink, then you need to learn how to manage it.

August quickly approached his friends and broke the bubbles. They were free again.

--- It seems, that everything went a little wrong.

--- You're right as always, Pearl. Now we have plans, to save Steven. Come on, we need to get out of here. I made a little noise here.

.....

This time, they still managed to get away unnoticed, and the search for Stephen began. Everyone was divided into teams, it will be faster this way. August found himself with Pearl. They decided to search the Pink Diamond's chambers. And they did not lose.

--- Stephen ! My God, what did they put you in ?

Stephen was wearing clothes exactly like the Pink Diamond. And if it looked good on her, then on Stephen it was rather comical.

--- Let's get out of here before they dress us up in something like that, too.

--- I'm staying.

--- What did you say ?!

--- I'm staying. This is the only way I can talk to the White. This is the only way out.

--- No, no, no. The only way out is to kick her ass !

--- You can't change my mind ! I'm staying !

--- I'm staying too.

--- Pearl ?!

--- Stephen needs support.

--- ... good. I'm going to look for a passage to the White . I can handle it myself.

.....

--- Yeah, things got a little more complicated.

At the moment, August was running away from a huge number of guards as well as robots that were chasing him. And they cornered him. To the very bottom of the HomeWorld.

--- Surrender, renegade ! You have nowhere to run !

--- Really. I have nowhere to run...but so are you.

Augustus prepared for battle, but suddenly. The wall behind him opened and he was dragged inside.

--- What the... !

The wall closed in an instant and August found himself face to face with his captors.

--- What was that ?!

--- We just saved your ass ! And thus revealed their location !

--- I didn't need any help ! I would have done just fine on my own.

--- What are you saying ?!

--- Let's calm down.

--- I saw that we would save a person.

August looked around and realized that he was in a strange group.

They were here. A huge, colorful caterpillar. Conjoined twins. An orange Sapphire and a cross between a Pearl and a Ruby.

--- Let's introduce ourselves first. I'm a Rhodonite. These are Fluorite, the twins of Rutila and Padparaj.

--- Yeah, this is the first time I've seen such strange gems. I'm August.

--- I see that our new friend has come here for something.

--- It's true ? - Rhodonite looked at him with all four eyes.

--- Yes. I came to kick the White Diamond's ass, but I got confused and was noticed.

--- Are you crazy ?! Do you even know how strong she is !

--- I have no idea !

--- White Diamond is able to control the mind ! It will simply invade your brain and subdue it. Fluorite once experienced this for herself.

--- There were too many of us. She could not obey us.

--- Means the mind...it's good. Do you know how to get to the White ?

--- You're crazy. You're going to die.

--- How do I get to it ?!

--- Okay, don't say I didn't warn you ! - Rhodonite led Augustus out of the network of caves directly to the surface and pointed to the statue.

--- Do you see the statue ? At the very top are her chambers. Then you're on your own.

--- Thanks ! I don't need more than that !

" It's time to settle the score. White scum. "
