While Connie was preparing for Paragon’s return on Earth, he was arriving on Homeworld and headed straight for the throne room.

“STEVEN,” shouted Spinel as Paragon entered the room. She took off running towards him to give him a hug, but quickly ran into a diamond shape wall.

“Spinel, I know you have missed me but we will be having none of that today,” Paragon said in a calm and collective manor, “Now, will you be a dear and go fetch Blue, Yellow, and White for me and let them know I’m here,” Spinel nodded slowly as she got an extremely uneasy feeling as Paragon put his hands on her shoulders. She quickly took off to gather the other Diamonds as Paragon walked over to his throne.

“Pearl, once she comes back with the Diamonds, when I snap my fingers, I want you to cut her down,” Paragon ordered as he sat down on the throne.

“As you wish my Lord,” Pearl answered as she bowed to him. After twenty minutes, Spinel and The Diamonds were approaching the throne room.

“I not sure why exactly he wanted to meet with you all, but I’m telling you something has changed with him. He’s glowing pink, he’s taller and buffer and when he touched my shoulders, I felt terrified, like he wanted to rip my gem apart,” Spinel explained to the Diamonds as they approached the throne room.

“Oh Spinel, he probably just had one of those human growth spurt thingies,” Yellow said as she looked a Spinel on her shoulder.

“Spinel, you’re just overreacting, Steven is too kind hearted to even shatter someone,” Blue said as they walked up the stairs to the entrance.

“But, but, but,” Spinel stuttered as they reached the top of the stairs.

“No buts, Spinel. We will have no more of you saying awful things about Steven,” White said as she opened the door. Once they entered the room, they saw Steven sitting on his throne, tossing a bubble in the air and catching it. When he saw the four of them enter, he popped the bubble midair, causing a small explosion, similar to a fire cracker.

“Aunt Blue, Aunt Yellow, and Aunt White, how wonderful it is to see you all again, it’s been far too long since we last talked,” Paragon said, in a calm manor. The Diamonds were a little shocked, Spinel was right about the drastic changes in Steven’s appearance.

“Steven, it’s so good to see you again as well. For what to we owe the pleasure of this little visit,” White asked approaching Steven.

“First off, I’m no longer going by Steven, please call me Paragon,” he corrected White as she said that vile human name.

“Oh, why the change in your name, Paragon was it,” asked Blue with curiosity.

“We’ll get to that and the reason for my visit in a moment, but first Spinel can you please join me over here,” Paragon asked still very calm and collective. Spinel looked at the Diamonds for reassurance, they all gave her a nod of assurance as she started walking towards Paragon.

“Hurry it up Spinel, I don’t have all day,” Paragon said in a calm but slightly annoyed tone. After a few more seconds, Spinel was finally standing next to Paragon, he then snapped his fingers, signaling for Pearl to attack. Pearl leapt at Spinel, drawing both of her blades. Before she even knew what was going on, Spinel’s form had been sliced into three, staring at Paragon with a confused look before finally poofing. Paragon didn’t even look at Spinel as Pearl cut her down, he was too busy enjoying the shock and horror on the Diamonds’ faces. Without even looking he had reached out and grabbed Spinel’s gem before it had a chance to hit the floor.

“SPINEL,” the Diamonds cried out as they watched her get cut down by Pearl.

“Now, Blue you asked why the change in my name, well I’m no longer half human. I have been under so much stress that it caused me to poof and I reformed as a pure Diamond. But I dare not call myself Pink Diamond, as she, along with you three, were a major source of the stress and trauma throughout my life,” Paragon stated as he began squeezing on Spinel’s gem as pink energy started sparking around his hand, “I’ve had a lot of time to think since you attacked me Spinel, I’ve let you and them off way too easy. I’ve decided that none of you are worthy of living anymore.” After a few seconds, there was an audible cracking that could be heard and was also visible on the heart shape gem as he increased the pressure. A few more seconds later, it shattered in to a thousand pieces. The Diamonds watched in horror as Paragon had shattered Spinel. Paragon dumped the shattered remains of Spinel on the ground.

“Steven, how could you,” cried Blue at the death of Spinel.

“I thought you were supposed to be better than this, better than we use to be,” White said in horror.

“What the fuck happened to you, Steven,” Yellow said angerly.

“I TOLD YOU, MY NAME IS PARAGON, YOU FUCKING MORONS,” he screamed, cracking the walls of the throne room, “Everyone in my life is responsible for my creation. Having the love of my life reject me was the straw that broke the camel’s back and caused me to snap. I’ve had so much horrible shit happened to me over the last four years, that the stress became to unbearable and 99% of it was your all’s fault. Blue, you locked me in a tower, where I nearly starved to death, because that is what you would do to punish Pink. Yellow, you stomped on me nearly crushing me to death. White, you ripped the gem from my body and I was literally seconds from death because you thought it would get Pink back. Spinel tried to kill me and the Earth just because of something Mom, not me, did. All three of you have sent Gem’s to capture me. You all tried destroying my home with a Geo Weapon. You all corrupted hundreds of Gems, which in turn attacked me and my home. I should shatter you all right now, like I did Spinel,” Paragon ranted.

“And why won’t you,” asked White.

“Oh I will be, but there is another part to your all’s punishment that I have in mind for you,” Paragon answered as he stood up from the throne and disappeared before reappearing with his hand on Blue’s gem. His hand started glowing bright pink as he began to siphon off the light from Blue’s gem. Blue screamed out in pain as her light was being taken from her. Yellow and White watched as the color from Blue’s form began to fade as she started to glitch out. As this was going on Paragon was growing taller, but still maintaining the body build of Jasper as his power grew. Soon Blue’s physical form had disappeared as Paragon had siphoned the remaining light from her gem, leaving only a colorless gem behind. Paragon now stood as tall as Pink did before she turned herself into Rose Quartz. White looked on in horror at Paragon as he then bubbled Blue’s gem. Yellow only grew angrier as Paragon then exploded the lightless gem into thousands of tiny pieces.

“This is your punishment White, me stealing the light from your gem to increase my own power. I will become a perfect Diamond, one that will succeed were you have failed and I will take over the entire universe. I will shape it in my own image and obliterate all that resist my authority,” Paragon said as he laughed maniacally. Having heard enough, Yellow charged full speed a Paragon, punching and knocking him out of the building and sending him crashing into the streets. Paragon slowly got up, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth.

“Well, that was a wonderful punch, Aunt Yellow, but please allow me to respond,” he said as he dusted himself off as he stood up after a few minutes. He took off his cape and threw it to the ground. He then took off running back towards the throne room at a high rate of speed, the wind from him running knocked anyone along the path over. As Paragon made his way back towards the throne room, Yellow was picking up the shattered remains of Blue in attempt to gather all her pieces to reform her using her new powers. She had almost all the pieces picked up when Paragon came running through the door and punched Yellow in the back of the head with a bubbled fist with enough force that it had shattered Yellow’s helm. Yellow responded by turning around and throwing a punch at Paragon but was blocked. He responded by throwing a punch of his own. This went on for a few minutes before Yellow headbutted Paragon as he blocked one of her punches, knocking him into the floor with such force that it left a crater behind. White saw this as an opportunity and attempted to intervene and help Yellow in the fight against Paragon, but was stopped when Pearl’s blade sliced through her Achilles tendon with her sword.

“You little wench, how dare you attack me. I’ll shatter you for this,” White said as she tried to grab at Pearl, only for Pearl to slice her hand off. White screamed out in pain as Pearl’s sword sliced cleanly through her wrist. Yellow, who was repeatedly stomping on Paragon in the crater, heard White cry out in pain, turned to see Pearl swinging her sword at White. Yellow charged towards Pearl at full speed ready to squash her like a bug, when something grabbed her leg. She turned around to see that Paragon was already back on his feet and had a firm grasp of her right leg.

“I don’t know where you think you’re going but our fight is nowhere near over,” Paragon said as he swung Yellow over his head and into the floor, repeating the process over and over again, leaving a crater each time. After ten minutes, Paragon stopped, having destroyed the throne room with Yellow’s body, right before Yellow was about to poof. Paragon then floated into the air.

“What’s wrong Aunt Yellow, you don’t seem to have that cocky attitude as you had before, when I was letting you win,” Paragon gloated as he floated down on top of Yellow’s gem.

“Fuck…you…Steven, When I get…up… I’m going to…squash you…like the fucking bug…that you are,” Yellow weakly said as she lifted her head towards Paragon.

“I TOLD YOU MY NAME IS PARAGON, and you’re not going to get the chance to. Now time for you to join Aunt Blue, Aunt Yellow,” Paragon said as he began laughing as he placed his hand on Yellow’s gem. Once again Paragon’s hand began to glow bright pink as he started siphoning off the light from Yellow’s gem. White watched in horror as another one of her sisters was being killed by her nephew. As Paragon siphoned the light from Yellow, his body again compensated for the increase in power by growing taller while still maintaining the body build of Jasper. Soon Steven had siphoned all the light from Yellow’s gem as he now was the same height as Mega Pearl. White watch as Paragon picked up Yellow’s colorless gem, tossing it in the air and catching it, as he walked towards his Aunt. White attempted to back away but was block by Pearl, who was getting ready to swing at her with her sword, but was stopped by Paragon.

“No need to kill her yet, Pearl,” Paragon said as he bubbled White, “We’re taking her back to Earth with us, but first, I need you to warp to Little Homeschool and be my herald, advised them that I’m coming soon. Let Connie know I’m upset she didn’t stay put like I asked her to,” Paragon then took Yellow’s gem, tossing it in the air and blasted it with an energy beam and reducing it to dust. Pearl activated the warp pad and headed off to Little Homeschool.

“Why don’t you go ahead and steal my light and shatter me like you did Blue and Yellow,” White cried from inside the bubble.

“Because I want the people of Earth to watch me do it, I want them to learn to fear me, so they know that I’m not fucking around when I tell them to obey me,” Steven said shrinking the bubble down giving White less space to move. Paragon chuckled as he knew that his rule over the Universe would soon begin.
