At that moment, Sansdesine released her attack and the Gaster Blaster released the energy, a laser of pure concentrated magic was let out shooting straight towards Steven. Steven countered by summoning his shield, all of which shaped like pentagons and not at all the circular one with the Rose pattern on it like Spinel remembered him doing when she herself fought the Hybrid a whole year ago.

Her eyes only flared more as she stretched her lower most hand to the ground and several bones began to appear out of the ground after him, along with something that looked like a platform. Steven leaped into the air, using his floating abilities to safely land on the platform when it slowly drifted underneath him. 4 Gaster Blasters formed surrounding Steven and Steven increased the size of his shield to encase him underneath it as all 4 of the Blasters were now blasting at it. The scene heavily reminded Steven of when he saw his other self, “Pink Steven” getting blasted by White Diamond and all the other Gems she’d mind controlled, after his Gem was forcibly removed out of his body, and the pink glow on his body grew only more intense as Steven suddenly shouted, throwing the shields to destroy the Blasters.

Sansdesine dodged out of the way, when one of the shields was also suddenly thrown towards the fusion. She barrel rolled to the left. More bones appeared, floating in thin air, all in a straight row, and, moving with each other, took turns stabbing Steven when he was distracted with destroying the Gaster Blasters. 

“Gh!!” Steven grunted, his voice sounding oddly like a mix of his own and the original Pink Diamonds. 

One penetrated the boy through the shield and an HP bar appeared over his body, and a yellow bar appeared in front of it. As he got struck, his HP slowly began to go down, the yellow disappearing revealing a red bar underneath it, followed by a purple one as well which started to disappear faster. But, Sansdesine wasn’t done yet. Smaller bones and Gaster Blasters circled around Steven, and they all zoomed in at once. Steven grabbed at the bone in his shoulder and began to run between them to avoid getting hit, but he also knew if the circle got too small, he would be getting hit again. 

By the time that attack was over, Steven was already at less than half health. And he was on his knees, several bones were sticking from his body now. Sansdesine smiled. 

It was actually working. She was winning!

Bigger bones than before now took their turns to stab into Steven’s body, and when he got hit, the knife pushed all the way through impaling him completely. Steven screamed as his HP was reduced to one and he fell barely conscious by this point.”.

“Come on Steven... Let's forget 'bout this ok?! I know somewhere inside of ya, I can feel it. I know you’re still there, and yer scared, and hurt and ya feel like yer alone. But, yer not alone! You showed me I wasn’t. Remember? So, I wanna be there for ya too buddy. Come on, don’tcha remember me? Yer bestest Friend Spinel?” Sansdesine tried, Spinel forcing herself to take main control of the fusion as she opened her arms to the fallen Hybrid on the ground, writhing in pain.

“Someday

Somewhere

Somehow

You'll love again

You just need to find someone”

Spinel began to sing, trying to reach Steven even as Jasper and Sans told her to be careful, but Spinel refused to give up on Steven. After all, he didn’t give up on her, even when she was ready to give up on herself.

“Someday

Somewhere

Somehow

You'll love again”

. . .

“I just need to find someone” 

Spinel smiled, as she heard Steven join in. His voice was quiet, as if he was fighting whatever hold was on him. But she KNEW she heard him! Slowly, she had the fusion approach the boy as she continued singing.

“Someone who treats me better (Someone who treats you better)

Someone who wants me around (Someone who wants you around)”

“Come on Steven, I know you’re still in there! Please...if you’re listening… Let’s just forget all this, okay? We love you Steven!” Spinel pleaded stopping her singing for a moment as she leaned down over the Gem Hybrid, all 4 of her arms were held wide and open for Steven to come give her a hug at any time.   

Steven’s angry expression softened just a little bit, with- was that a trace of regret?- tears beginning to form near the edges of his eyes. 

Sansdesine smiled inwardly. 

It was working.      

“Ya don’t have ta fix everything all on yer own no more. Let’s...let’s try and fix this together! How does that sound, my friend? I don’t wanna fight ya anymore. We can both change for the better. Together.” 

 When Steven looked back up at the fusion, her hands were stretched out for a hug. “Come on,” she said kindly, “bring it in, partner.”      

Steven shakily got to his knees, tears in his eyes, as one of his eyes had gone back to the usual brown they always were. “S...Spinel, I...I…!!” He ran forward, almost jumping into Sansdesine’s 4 outstretched arms, just before he could reach her however, his eye that was just starting to return back to the Steven usual brown coloration had turned back to Pink. He thrust the Breaking point forward, and it was now Jaspers turn to take control of the fusion as he side stepped away, making sure to stick one of her feet out so Steven could trip over it. 

Steven fell to the ground and caught himself, spinning around in place to face the fusion directly who gasped. Steven didn’t even LOOK like himself anymore. Instead, the form that was there in his place now was-

“Pink” Sansdesine gasped out.

Sansdesine continued to dodge, almost blind with fury as Pink Diamond, now in her full glory began to attack Sansdesine nonstop, with the Breaking Point on her arm.

She really didn’t care. At all! Everything that Jasper had done for her Diamond. The Gems she helped shatter in Pink’s name. For her colony. Only for Pink to eventually get bored of the Gem War and fake her shattering to chase away the Diamonds. 

And for Spinel, she’d been made to be Pink Diamonds best friend, only for Pink to reward her efforts by abandoning her. Now, here she was, looking exactly as the two Gems remembered her as nearly 6,000 years ago. Though Jaspers mind was still doing somersaults and who knows what else at this Pink Diamond she was seeing.

She was short. Shorter than all the other Diamonds she saw. The “Pink” Jasper had been serving had spikier hair and looked much more like the mural created for her back on the Moon base. And Jasper. Was FURIOUS. Her Diamond was a defect! This only helped to serve as the final nail in the coffin that Jaspers entire life was nothing but a lie. 

They were getting so far in the fight, and Sansdesine knew that she wouldn’t be able to hold on for much longer. She would have to stop soon.     

 “Ok, ‘My Diamond,’” Sansdesine said both mockingly and venomously towards Pink when she’d hooked her noodly arms around a pillar to swerve out of the way of an attack, her heels skidding on the shiny floors of the Hall. “You’ve gotten pretty far. So, it’s time for my Special Attack! Sound familiar? Well, you can see it now- right after you survive THIS.”      

With that, the fusion began to attack, she summoned countless bones all over the walls and then she turned Pinks/Stevens SOUL blue first throwing the Diamonds towards herself as Sansdesine inflated one of her fists and wound it up like a screw before throwing it hard directly into Pink’s gem on her stomach. With a flick of her wrist she threw the Diamond monarch into the bones as the fusion attacks only got stronger and longer than that of her first attack. 

Bones, punches, and Blasters were thrown at the ever- dodging Diamond, and yet, it still got through each round almost unharmed. When Pink WAS injured by an attack, she merely used her healing spit to bring her HP back up to full again. The fusion attacked the Diamond from all sides, trying as hard as she could to SHATTER or Poof. 

But no matter what she did, the Diamond continued to dodge her attacks. Including the massive Gaster wheel Sans had suggested using.      

After what seemed like hours, Sansdesine could feel that she was soon out of magic, and a heavy feeling of exhaustion began to settle inside her form. Pink wasted no time on their counterattack, slicing at the fusion with the Breaking Point, but missing. Sansdesine had moved out of the way, but only just barely.      

“W-well, then, if...if you’re done… then, you know. N-Now would be quite a good time to d-die!!” Sansdesine shouted as she punched two holes into the tiles with her muscular arms, and then shot her two noodly ones deep into the ground, the palms appearing underneath Pink as the fusion grabbed a hold of Pinks ankles. Sansdesine gave a shout as she began to pull Pink towards her again and then began wildly throwing Pink against the walls and windows of the Hall, watching as her HP began to lower quickly the more she was slammed and thrown around.

Sansdesine released Pinks legs and began to stretch her arms more, despite the fact she was starting to overdo it and the strain in keeping their fused body together was beginning to get to be too much and instead, the fusion began to throw thousands of punches at the Diamond, tears streaming down the fusions face as she continued to punch, and Sansdesines body started to glitch out bit by bit.

And then, just as Sansdesine threw the final punch, the fusion poofed, as Spinels gem clattered to the floor. Unable to even reform her own body by itself anymore, Jasper was on both knees, and keeled over gasping, her own form starting to glitch from the strain of holding the fusion together taking hold. ‘ How in the stars did Garnet do that everyday, and all day? ’ Jasper wondered as she watched Pink fall to the floor with a thud and then slowly began to stand. 

Spinels gem was now laying on the ground right in the middle of the two fighters. Sans was also lying on the ground looking quite exhausted, sweat dripping off his skull as he heaved, and a red ooze dripped from the small skeleton between his teeth as Sans started to cough up blood, his bones rattling so hard it filled the Hall.

Pink was fuming as she glared at the Quartz soldier, possibly the only one left standing, her gaze then slowly floated to the fallen skeleton besides her and then... Pink began to charge right for Spinel’s Gem. Jasper cursed, seeing that Pink still had so much energy left, and she slowly pushed herself to her feet, and ran towards Spinel’s Gem. She reached out just as Pink was prepping the Breaking Point to shatter the vulnerable heart shaped pink Gem laying on the ground and-

 CRACK!!!

“Hngh!!!” Jasper cursed, one hand curling over Spinels gem and holding it to her chest, the other outstretched as she felt the tip of the weapon pierce the palm of her hand, inches from the gem on her face.      

“L-Look, I don’t know what your goal is, and...and I’m probably the last person to ever say this b-but….was-was all this really worth it?!” Jasper gasped out in between her form glitching out.

Pink said nothing.      

Jasper sighed. She’d NEVER been pushed this far before, somehow, something was telling her to go back into her Gem and recover, to stop pushing herself. She’d never been pushed to be this exhausted. Just like she’d never been experienced being shattered, yet here she was. Jaspers grip on Pinks weapon somehow clenched over the weapon, holding Pink into place even as she tried to free the Breaking Point, and her form glitching worsened. 

Fatigue was starting to set in. Jasper felt it as the next instant, Pink began to push more firmly on her weapon, and the tip of the Breaking point touched the very edge of her gem on her face and Jasper felt even more glitches throughout her form.

Jasper knew she couldn’t hold out like this, she had almost no energy left to keep this up, but she had something she still had to do as Jasper winced. “Well, even if you did somehow get past me, the King o-or whatever...would have absorbed those Souls by now, so… M-My Diamond...if you’re l-listening...if you’re even still IN th-there….now w-would be a g-great time to….QUIT.” Jasper turned her gaze back at the Diamond in front of her. “There’ll always be s-someone b-better than y-you. B-But it’s up t-to you...if you...want your past to d-define you. You don’t h-have to be like this, Pink so-so please…”

Blackness took over Jasper’s vision, and then, in a last ditch effort, using her one free arm, Jasper chucked Spinels gem over to Sans just as Pink pushed a final time, shoving the Breaking point directly and straight through Jaspers gem shattering it completely.
