Gems vs. Elements

Trista brings her friend Aventurine to the world of Steven Universe, to meet with the Crystal Gems Steven Universe, Pearl, Amethyst, Garnet, Connie Maheswaran, Peridot, Lapis Lazuli, and Bismuth. Though Bismuth recognizes Aventurine as the general of the strongest army at Homeworld's disposal during the Gem War, as she experimented on a new type of Quartz called the Aventurescence Force, which were 20x stronger and impervious to damage. But these Quartzes vanished mysteriously at the middle of the war. Aventurine explains that she aimed to create a new gem stronger than the Diamonds to be at their command called Wurtzite, but they declined out of fear it would be turned against them. But just as Aventurine attempted to deploy Wurtzite anyway, it was stolen. But later that day, Wurtzite turns up again under the loyalty of a race the Gems have never heard from in eons: The Elements. Just like the Gems, the Elements were sentient matter derived from elements of the periodic table that could manipulate matter by their elements and even created the Gems before they rebelled into their own race. With the Homeworld Gems accepting individuality, and without their ideals of perfection holding them back, the Elements were free to invade the Gems and their stolen colonies. The Element Authority, the Elements' 118 oligarchic leaders, challenge the Diamonds, including Steven, to decide the fate of Gems, something which Steven is absolutely not ready for, especially since he is supposed to be the head of the war because of the actions of his mother, Rose Quartz/Pink Diamond. Not willing to take up this big a challenge since the events of Steven Universe: The Movie, where Earth was almost exterminated by Pink Diamond's old friend Spinel, Steven turns to Aventurine for help to maximize the Crystal Gems' defenses and stop a war that could be far more destructive while Trista brings in the Lodgers and Star's group. But the Lodgers end up stumbling upon the secret that both races being creations of the Matter Councilors, Outer Gods that regulate matter in dimensions, and thus both races have no reason to fight since they're all just matter, and all are one. But when the truth is revealed, not all of the Element Authority are swayed and continue on with the war. Now the heroes must stop this war once and for all, even more so since the Element Authority are being manipulated by the wicked vizor, Grand Advisor Jerktonium, the representative element of the fictional jerktonium of SpongeBob's world, which is an artificial element along with all other fictional elements, being a primary source of this crazy conflict because Jerktonium blames the failure to control gems being why they committed cruel things against other planets, and thus fear that the Matter Councilors would reverse their creation, so the Advisor had manipulated the Elements to even do this pointless war to the point of having the Authority be in denial of the very beings he wants to appease to regain control of the Gems, and to Steven's anger, was the one who turned Spinel evil and gave her the Rejuvenator and the Element-Crafted Injector to destroy Earth and the Crystal Gems as revenge for getting him demoted and costing him and his Artificial Guild a chance to get taken more seriously as fictional elements.

PTE Redux Conditions: The potential PTE episode will not have Trista or her Hylander Arc friends.

Scenes

Jerktonium Meets Spinel

Jerktonium: YOU CAN'T DEMOTE ME!! I HAVE BEEN NOTHING IF NOT VALUABLE TO THE ELEMENT RACE FOR EONS!!!! EONS!!!
Protium: And yet you were too late to properly destroy the gems. It's bad enough the existence of those failed experiments are your fault and that of your little troupe and that revolt of theirs' lead to the suffering and/or extinction of races once prominent in this side of the cosmos, added to the fact that planets, beloved masterpieces of the Matter Councilors, suffered the worse of this ongoing disaster. Now they're a threat to the dimension once more, and it's all your fault.
Duodium: "Basically, ya made us an even bigger joke to the Matter Councilors then ever before! Why did you thought it was a good idea making those Diamonds worse than they were already when that Conquest stuff they were doing was APART OF THE PROBLEM TO BEGIN WITH, YA DINGUS?!"
Jerktonium: "I-..... Okay in hindsight, considering the races that suffered from this fiasco, I, admit it was not one of my, betterly devised plans, but, fair's fair, it surprisingly worked out at first! They were placed in the path of self-destruction!"
Heienium: "But at what cost? Worlds that the Worlders worked hard to craft, then our masters the Matter Councilors took equal amount of effort to introduce into this realm, fell victim to the Gems' actions, and you being stupid by making them worse, REALLY DIDN'T HELPED?!"
Hexenium: "More likely then not, the Matter Councilors will further view us as a failure, if not on the verge of deciding to reverse our existence just to cut their losses and ease their cosmic mistake of our creation?! And that's not even talking about the flack we gained from their other cosmic breteren about this!"
Ununquadium: That's why you are no longer in charge of military suggestions, amongst other things.
Jerktonium: HIGHER ELEMENTS, PLEASE, YOU CAN'T- (Titaniums blocked his path)......
Duokium: You, are, no longer in charge of speaking for our plans. Don't make us rejuvenate you.... You are dismissed. (Jerktonium was angry and stormed off into his quarters)
Australium: Oh struth, mate. Is everything okay?
Jerktonium: NO! Not only did I just got demoted, but effectively, we ALL lost our chance to get taken seriously as artificial elements by destroying the Gems!! AND IT'S ALL PINK DIAMOND AND THAT STEVEN KID'S FAULT!!!!
Kryptonite: "To be fair, Jerk, we did say making the Gems worse than already would backfire longterm."
Jerktonium: "I DIDN'T THINK THAT IDIOTIC EARTH MONKEY GEM HYBRID WOULD BE ABLE TO HALT EVERYTHING?! Believe me, if I had known the brat was a threat, I would've destroyed him myself?!"
Vibranium: "Or only succeed to be defeated by his protectors, like every gem that went against them. Then we would've been in greater deal of inconvenience."
Jerktonium: OH REAL SUPPORTIVE, GANG?! Ughhh.... IT'S NOT FAIR?! Just once, ONCE, I wish something would go right for me! Is that too much to-
Quantonium: (Was seen responding to something in the communicator room) Jerktonium... You may want to see this.
Jerktonium and the other Art-Elementals got to the room and saw the screen Quantonium was showing.
???: (A familiar figure was speaking on a messed-up transmission) Pink! Pink, where are you? Who's the kid that was at your home? Who were those guys? I have been waiting here as you ordered for 6000 years! Your garden is dead, and you haven't returned. I was starting to think you abandoned me! I knew deep down that wasn't true! I can't wait to hear what you have to say. Call me back as soon as you get this. I can't wait to entertain just like old times! Spinel out! (The transmission ended)
Eridium:... Ohhhhh. No, she wouldn't, would she? She wouldn't just, abandon someone like that.
Tritanium: After 6000 years?... She totally abandoned her.
Quantonium: "Most likely by accident. Pink Diamond was always the most soft-hearted of the diamonds. Kinda why she influenced even White Diamond to turn against the Elements to begin with. I suspect that the following events may've ended up distracted her and she unpurposely forgotten about her."
Jerktonium:... (Grins like a Grinch) But, clearly, she, doesn't know that.... Everyone? Build up a giant injector for her while I visit her personally. There's been a, sudden change of plans.
Quantonium: "Oh please don't tell me you're gonna try something extreme again after how well YOUR LAST ATTEMPT WENT?!"
Jerktonium: "Look, guys, I know the initial plan went POORLY, but, I'm confident this time that this hapless Spinel idiot will be EXACTLY what we needed to rectify the mistake of Gem Creation. We'll turn her into a destroyer of her own kind, then we'll finish her off ourselves when she is exhausted."
Quantonium: "Can't we just trust that the Council will finally quell the gems on their own terms and-"
Jerktonium: "Quan, at least, humor me with this, if ANY of us wants to be taken seriously by the "Official" Elements. Would you rather chance not being taken seriously as an element because of not having a place in the periodic table?"
Adamantium: I still say it's a bad idea.
Jerktonium: Everyone, I know I don't have to remind you that before we were together, we were nothing. When I stepped up and appealed to the Elements, we finally had a purpose. Now it's gone. And there's nobody to blame but Pink and Steven! And my slow progress on it is irrelevant. We'll build Spinel an Element-Crafted Injector. The superior kind. And we'll give her an arsenal fit for revenge. We'll get our revenge on Pink and Steven for taking our purpose away from us. These injectors destroyed the organic life on hundreds of planets.
Eridium: TERRORISM?! DESTRUCTION OF ORGANIC LIFE?! Have you gone mad?! Whatever happened to the idea of preserving what life is left?! Isn't that what the Gems were meant to do, intervene against hostile races, the common seeds of Inter-Dimensional empires?
Jerktonium: I hate having to be honest with you guys since you actselly believe these misguided sentiments, but.... It was never about that. Yes, the gems WERE meant to be a sort've answer to halt a hostile race's rampage, but it wasn't nessersarly for the benefit of would-be victims! The gems, were supposed to make the Elements look good for the Matter Councilors to protect the planets hostile races typically end up ruining in their attacks! It was more about protecting planets, not the tenants of them. The fact they would benefit from such interventions are just, happy accidents at best. The Gems were meant to more so protect the planets themselves, not the hapless parasites they are made to bare. In term, that would've earned the approval of the Matter Councilors, which would've translated to them approving of all elements, which would translate to the Element Authority appreciating US, and allow us a place in the periodic table!
Mythril: "You mean, all this, was just so we are given cushy govermental positions? You didn't actselly believed in wanting to help others?"
Jerkonium: My apologies if you ended up buying into that lip-service to ease the Authority to even approve of the creation of Gems to begin with. You all know how the Authority has a soft-spot for organics, even inspite of their, ugh, disgusting imperfections. This was never about the well-being of organic life. They disrespect their planets with pollution and ozone depletion anyway. But yes, they were supposed to prevent interdimensional empires, but now..... It is now about the prevention of an interdimensional empire by THEIR own hands, AND saving us from the unstoppable wrath of a Xzar! Won't matter how strong any of us are, nor even the prime councilors, not much of anything can prevent an assigned Xexaxez from wasting us like trash infested with maggots! And for the greater good, sacrifices HAVE to be made. This may sound selfish, but I think we can all agree that the need to the universal outweigh the needs of the planetary. Evil or not, this has to be done for the UUniverses' own good. You don't have to madly fall in love with this prospect, by all means, hate it like what I am asking is the most reviled, repulsive thing you've ever heard! But consider the idea of being destroyed by either a Xzar or a disappointed Matter Councilor, even more unsavory. The least you all can do, is humor me. (The Guild Members are distroted by the revelations).... Now go! (Gets on a teleport beacon) I have some corrupting to do.

Pink Diamond's Old Space Garden

Jerktonium: (Appeared as Spinel got excited for a brief moment) Hello... Spinel.
Spinel: Eh? You're not Pink Diamond.
Jerktonium:... I'm afraid... (He puts his hand on Spinel and slowly corrupts her) Pink Diamond isn't coming back.
Spinel:... What?
Jerktonium: Pink Diamond abandoned you. You were just a nuisance to her. Someone who craved too much attention. She didn't want you around anymore. She failed to remember you... When she cast herself into her son, Steven Universe. (Shows him on the screen)... All that remains of her... Is this. (Shows her gem on his navel)
Spinel:... No. It can't be.
Jerktonium: Oh, but it can be, and it is. Pink tossed you to the wind. She has better friends. She left you to rot in this filthy garden like her unmentionable past.
Spinel:... (She fell to her knees and started crying)
Jerktonium:... When I heard your transmission and Steven's story... It made me sick. I wanted to help you. I know what it's like to be abandoned. Let's just say, I too am something that's treated like a joke. Something never meant to be. Something too ridiculous to even exist. So what's an existing joke to do but get back at everything. Living all for nothing. A waste of a soul.... Welcome to the club. It's Steven's fault you lost everything. He and his mother both. They need to pay for what they've done.... And I have just the things for you to do that. (The other Artificial Guild members arrived with a familiar giant injector and a familiar handle)... Hmm. One of the last Gem Rejuvenators.... Good choice, Carbo.
Carbonadium: (Still Depressed) It's nothing.
Jerktonium: Consider this an act of generous compassion. (As Spinel slowly got more corrupted) Use the poison within this injector to destroy all organic life on Earth. But I warn you, it has defenders. Expect some burdensome defiance in advance. That's why you'll need this. (Gives her the Rejuvenator Scythe)
Spinel:...... (Her theme plays as she smiled fully corrupted and turned into her current form letting out her signature laugh after the screen went black)

Star's Next Journey

All-Mother's Domain

Star: AM? You have some newbies for us?
Anne: After the other stuff, I never thought I'd say I could use another adventure.
All-Mother: Well, this one will be more, interesting. This time it involves the Matter Councilors.
Marco: Matter Councilors?
All-Mother: Think of them as, sapient and sentient planets. Any living thing can live on their bodies as a symbiosis. They are essentially a brother race to the Time Councilors like the Space Councilors and Energy Councilors. They are the creators of all forms of sentient matter like golems. But their most famous and the focus of your current mission are the Elements.
Marco: I'm, going to take a wild guess that they're sentient atoms of the periodic table.
All-Mother: Correct. They were created to serve as a successful case of matter learning to take care of itself in an endless void of blackness. But then, the Elements created a new race in an aim to prove to their creators that they wouldn't go rogue. Sentient magic gemstones that learned sentience in a rather unique way. They are gemstones infused with quantum energy. Light inside these gems created a web matrix making them self-aware, making them essentially artificial brains. They were not just magical, but they could manifest their own solid-light bodies. They can take any shape they want. But... They rebelled themselves and made their own home planet. They only call this planet 'Homeworld'. But the Elements call it 'G-Homeworld'. From there... A lot happened. Many planets and their races suffered in the name of Gem progress. Alongside this, the Gems were not always united on these fronts. Chief among them, they had a civil war of their own. Their leaders, the Great Diamond Authority, fought against a fellow Diamond posing as a rebel leader named 'Rose Quartz', defending the value of organic life and it's beauty. But now, that mantle, and her Gem, is held by her human-Gem hybrid son. Everybody calls him, Steven Universe. This is who you're going to look for.
Star: "Yikes.... Why did it took the Matter Councilers so long to resolve it themselves? Outside of Outer Legal issues, I mean."
All-Mother: "Matter Councilers tend to be, very curious about what they create. They desided to let things unfold as they did for research. But it is clear the Matter Councilers were too liberal of letting things go un-answered, and now worlds had needlessly suffered a preventable tragity cause of morbid curiousity. Helped little that they feel guilty about it, even going as far as to try keep the Cosmic Citidel dark about the severity of the issue, with mixed results. The situation are not complete secrets, but it has been assured that it hasn't gotten out of hand yet, but.... It's just the matter of the Gems ever getting to Inter-Dimensional Empire levels, where things would get, unpleasent. Xalvador has always warned them that if the gem and element issues are not resolved by the Matter Councilers themselves, then Xalvador will personally lead a Destructor Class Outer invadion and.... I think you can get the picture where this is going."
Star: "Got ya. Xalvador threatening to REALLY hurt folks. Got it. Clearly the Matter Councilers need to be set straight that they need to take more initive with their creations."
Anne: "I'm pretty sure they're gonna be like other Outers and not play ball with us at first. They're likely not used to folks like us telling them what to do."
Marco: Then we'll MAKE them listen by starting with this 'Steven Universe' kid.
All-Mother: You should know they've just got finished repairing the damage done from the strongest threat they ever faced on their Mars. Apparently their Mars is desolate and uninhabitable because it was sapped entirely of resources by a longlost member of the Great Diamond Authority taking revenge against the Elements for ruining her place with her fellow Diamonds. She dried up the planet's resources building a massive army of fused Gems. Gems have the ability to fuse into new Gems. When fusing with another of the same Gem, they become a bigger one. But one that Steven Universe's Gem friends perfected is the fusion of two different Gems which has been considered obscene to G-Homeworld... Before Steven inspired change by convincing the Diamonds to be a better family to 'Pink' and themselves and nearly died convincing the highest Diamond, White, to do the same.
Sprig: And this unknown Diamond created an entire army of fused gems?
All-Mother: One unlike anything seen by the Gems or the Elements. But the cost of such an unstoppable army was completely ruining Mars. They rode off, but never came back. Red Diamond's fate was left a mystery since. Steven and his friends went through some recent problems involving one elastic Gem and former playmate of Pink abandoned for 6000 years, an artificial failed duplicate of Pink, and a 'Shocked Quartz'. All these incidents alerted Steven that the Elements are coming and they possess technology millions of years more advanced than that currently possessed by the Gems of G-Homeworld. He went to Mars for answers on how to do it, but faced steep opposition against it's Gem dictator Painite, a fusion of every kind of unfused Gem available. Painite is a strong opponent, with godly power. Unfortunately it's mentality is unstable and it has an undaunting need to destroy organic life. They still don't feel they can stand a chance against the Elements. Which is where you come in. They must know the full truth of the Elements.
Marco: "Well, sounds like another serious high stakes cosmic challnage.... I'm pumped."

Painite Resurges.

Jerktonium had found himself cornered by the Lougers, Trista's trope, the Crystal Gems, the Diamonds, Spinel, his former friends and the element authority.... Even the Matter Councilors have turned on him
Jerktonium: "..... IT'S NOT FAIR?! IT'S NOT FAIR?! ALL, I WAS TRYING TO DO, WAS GET ARTIFICAL ELEMENTS RECKITISED IN THE PERIODIC TABLE OF THE AUTHORITY?! I WANTED MY KIND OF PEOPLE BEING TREATED WITH ACTUAL RESPECT?! WAS IT TOO MUCH TO ASK, APPARENTLY?!"
Peridot: "Well there was the matter of you trying to create gems to basically become enslaved bodyguards for unsentient planets, YA CLOD?!"
Cynder: "You took what was an otherwise noble intention to create beings that would protect worlds from invaders, but you tainted the idea by wanting to use it for selfish means!"
Icky: "And you half-assed it by LITTERALLY ONLY WANTING TO PROTECT UNSENTIENT PLANETS, NOT REALLY SO MUCH THE LIFE THEY BARE?! And THAT, is what actselly upsetted the Matter Councilors, cause those planets baring life is part of the joy of their craft! It's like an art preserver, wanting to protect the painting, to protect the canvas, NOT SO MUCH WHAT WAS ON IT?! By all means, there's nothing wrong with caring for planets, but your problem is, you care for the planets, vainly for them themselves! The thing about planets, with exception for living worlds, is that planets are litterally nothing but giant space rocks with some water and plants on them! And life on those planets, are just as valuable, if not arguably more valuable, then what is basically glorified ant farms! You may not be crazy for the fact they don't always give proper thanks to the planets they live in, but, they're just as much apart of the planet as every animal and plant, even minerals there. And you have the rock-hard BALLS, to only care about what is litterally only the house of the sentient beings and not the actual occupants?!"
Jerktonium: "AT LEAST I CARED ABOUT SOMETHING AT ALL?! THE GEMS-"
Icky: "We know, the Gems under the Diamonds were basically wiping out races left to right from their side of the universes, BUT AT LEAST THEY WERE HONEST ABOUT IT?! They didn't try to hide behind self-righteous zeal, at least, not your brand of zeal! In fact, now we know WHY they were doing that still deplorable stuff of ruining so many planets and alien civilizations: BECAUSE THEY WERE AFRAID OF YOU?! YOU BASICALLY WANT TO TURN THEM INTO YOUR SLAVES WHILE YOU MASQUERADE THAT YOU CARE, BUT REALLY YOU JUST WANT TO BE ABLE TO SIT WITH THE HIGHER UPS AND GIVE ARTIFICIAL ELEMENTS RESPECT CAUSE OF CREATING SOMETHING THAT WOULD PROTECT PLANETS, which again, we're not against the idea, JUST THE EXECUTION?! End of the day, tragic backstory aside, you're still doing this out of being A SELFISH TURD?!"
Jerktonium: "(GETS ANGRY) I'M JERKTONIUM, WHAT DID YOU EXPECT?! ALOT OF MY KIND ARE JERKS?!"
Protium: "Saying that does not exonerate your sins?! Just for all of your cruel actions, Artificial Elements, WILL NEVER BE TREATED AS EQUALS TO TRUE ELEMENTS?! (The heroes were shocked by that as were the artificial elements, of which the declaration utterly destroyed Jerktonium)."
White Diamond: "Now now, Protium, that's abit of an extreme declaration. I mean, by all means, think lowly of HIM all you want, but there's no need for unwarranted hatred for his kind."
Protium: "TRY NOT TO FORGET THAT THIS UNWORTHY INSULT TO THE PERIODIC TABLE WAS LITTERALLY TRYING TO DESTROY YOU GEMS, WHY ARE YOU ASKING US TO SHOW LENIANTCY?!"
Steven: "BECAUSE IT WAS ALL THAT BIGOTRY TORWORDS ARTIFICAL ELEMENTS IS WHY JERKTONIUM IS SO AWFUL?! (The Element Authority were confused by that)..... Think about it. He and the other artificial elements only know mistreatment from you, so alchourse he would turn out bad!"
Hexium: "Keep in mind that Jerktoniums are inherently jerks. Even if we treated THIS ONE like royalty, he would still be as rotten as ever!"
Steven: "Yeah, but would he try so hard to appease you guys if there was never any mistreatment?"
The Element Authority all look at eachother with self-reflecting stares.....
Hexicosium: "..... Huh. Never looked at it like that."
Protium: "..... I see..... Jerktonium, by all means, you yourself are not worthy to be among the authority for earnest crimes against BOTH Elements and Gems, but..... We are, enlightened, to see that you are a byproduct of unwarranted second-classmentry of your people. For that, we will welcome your guild friends into the periodic table, along with a PROPER Jerktonium representative. You, are still to be punished. (Steven facepalmed).... I, still did it wrong, correct?"
Steven: "WELL YEAH?! NOW HE'S GONNA BE MOTIVATED TO BE WORSE?!"
Protium: "But did he not do awful things? Was I suppose to award his bad behavior with the position?"
Pearl: "By all means we're not asking that, but at least try to be more gentle about punishing him."
Triscidium: "Oh it's not like he's gonna go berserk and unleash some kind of monster on us-"
Jerktonium was heard screaming as he held a bubble with a piece of Painite in it.......
Jerktonium: "(Going utterly insane) I, wasn't asking for world domination?! I wasn't asking to become emperor of the universes?! I WASN'T EVEN ASKING FOR AN INSURMOUNTABLE PILES OF WEALTH?! I WASN'T ASKING FOR TOO MUCH?!.... (Tears shed) All, I wanted, was for my race and other Artificials, to be TREATED WITH SOME RESPECT?! Just because we're not common in LITTERALLY EVERY WORLD EVER, doesn't mean we don't deserve to be treated like we weren't meant to exist?!"
Protium: "And if it eases you, Jerktonium, we HAD realized that-"
Jerktonium: "BUT NOT IN THE WAY THAT I WANTED IT?! I thought, I could make life fair for my fellow Artificial Elements and allow us to get the respect we deserve?! BUT I GET CRUELY LABELED AS A VILLAIN, JUST BECAUSE OF SOME PERSONAL OPINIONS I HAD?!"
Amethyst: "To be fair dude, they're PRETTY garbage opinions."
Garnet: "You callously only cared for the actual planets themselves and not what the planets bare. It makes you look vain and petty. Even the very matter councilors you try to appease care for every aspect of the planet, even if that aspect isn't perfect."
Cynder: "Now, we agree that those races could stand to treat their world with more respect then they may or may not've done, but that doesn't make them parasites, and honestly, your opinion of them is unhealthily prejudical of you."
Steven: "Yeah. I don't blame the Diamonds for not wanting to listen to you. You ruined an otherwise awesome idea by being selfish about it."
Jerktonium: "HOW IS TRYING TO CURBSTOMP A WOULD-BE INTER-DIMENSIONAL EMPIRE SELFISH?!"
Pearl: "Not the idea itself.... It's how you were using it that's the point of contention. You introduce gems, and offer that we are used to intervene in the disputes and conflicts of other races, for the sake of getting political power and position. You can argue that it would translate to your people being treated better cause of the positions, but that's the issue. It's artificial respect by virtue of fear of retaliation from the Element Authority. Other Elements would only treat your people better, on grounds that they would face actual punishment for doing otherwise. Think about it. If you were to lose any given position or if you did something controversial, that artificial respect goes away VERY quickly, and it'll be like nothing changed at all! Having a seat in a governmental table doesn't garrentie true respect. It's the actions of what you do with it that does so. And, I do have to agree with the authority enough that, your own race, deserves a better representative."
Jerktonium lost his cool!
Jerktonium: ".... Then fine..... If this universe refuses to be fair to me..... THEN I SHALL DESTROY IT?! (SHOWS THE BUBBLED PAINITE) WITH THIS?!"
Sparx: "..... A bubble? With a priceless gemstone in it?"
Jerktonium: "(Crazed smile) Just wait until I free the gem and let it restore itself! Speaking of which, Ooooooooh Diamonds! Remember Red Diamond?"
Yellow Diamond: "(Angerly) YOU HAVE SOME NERVE SPEAKING HER NAME SO MOCKINGLY?!"
Jerktonium: "I bet you were wondering, whatever happened to her after you exiled her in thanks to ME EXPOSING HER ATTEMPTS TO TRY AND PROTECT YOU FROM OUR CONTROL?!"
The Diamonds were shocked by that....
Blue Diamond: ".... It, it was you that exposed Red?"
Jerktonium: "WELL SHE WAS DOING A GOOD JOB KEEPING SECRET FROM YOU LOUTS OTHERWISE, SO, WHY NOT OFFER A HELPING HAND?!"
White Diamond: "(Angerly) You clearly exposed her only to cripple us of someone who wanted to keep Gems safe?!"
Jerktonium: "HEY, YOU WERE STILL THE ONES STUPID ENOUGH TO TURN ON HER FOR IT?! YOU WOULD'VE JUST AS EASILY WELCOME HER ATTEMPTS, AND THEN YOU WOULD'VE BEEN ABLE TO KEEP THE ELEMENTS FROM EVER REGAINING CONTROL EVER AGAIN?! WELL GUESS WHAT?! SHE ROUNDED UP LOYALISTS AND BECAME, PAINITE?! SHE HAD TRIED TO DO SERIOUS ENOUGH DAMAGE TO THE ELEMENTS TO FORCE US TO STOP TRYING TO REGAIN CONTROL OF OUR CREATIONS AND LET THEM GO TO EVENTUALLY FORM AN INTER-DIMENSIONAL EMPIRE AND DOOM US TO A XEXAXEZ DESTROYING THIS FORSAKEN UNITED UNIVERSES?! I, WAS ABLE TO POOF HER AND TRAP HER, BACK WHEN I WANTED THIS REALITY TO BE PROTECTED?! (Crazed laughter) BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?! (Gets sharpen claws) HOW'S ABOUT, I BECOME THE DESTROYER OF THIS REALITY WITH YOUR OWN VERY FELLOW DIAMOND, INSTEAD?! ISN'T THAT JUST PEACHY?! (STABS INTO THE BUBBLE AND BEGAN TO INFLUENCE THE PAINITE GEM?!) (LAUGHS CRAZILY LIKE REN HOEK WHEN PUSHED TOO FAR!?)"
Steven: "NO!"
Jerktonium pulls the hand out quickly, which popped the bubble and freed the Painite, of which began to reform as a Kaiju Level 17-Armed Giant Woman with a reptoid face!
Icky: "..... THAT'S A HUGE BITCH?!"
Jerktonium: "NOW, MY MONSTER, TOGETHER, WE CAN DESTROY REALITIES AS NEW-AGE OUTER GODS, AND-"
Painite looks angerly at Jerktonium......
Jerktonium: "....... You still remember that I trapped you and defeated you to begin with, did- (Painite grabbed Jerktonium) HEY, HEY, LET ME GO, YOU CLUMSY AMALGAMATION?! (Gets taken up to the level of Painite's head) I COMMAND YOU TO RELEASE ME?! (Painite opened up her mouth and held Jerktonium over it) AHH?! ANYWHERE BUT YOUR MAW?! NO?! NO?! STOP?! STOP?! EVEN WHEN I WANT TO DESTROY REALITY, IT STILL PULLS CRUD LIKE THIS ON ME?! IT'S JUST NOT FAIR?! I JUST WANTED A LITTLE RESPECT, WAS IT TOO MUCH TO- (Gets dropped into Painite's mouth) AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA- (Falls into Painite's gullet, of which she closed her mouth and swallowed the doomed Jerktonium, absorbing his power)....."
Everyone stared shocked of what just happened.
Gilda: "..... Please tell me it's on our side now.... (Painite now looked at the group and licked her reptilian tongue)..... That's a big fat no."
Garnet: "Painite has been corrupted?!"
Steven: "That, explains why she has a lizard face."
Yellow Diamond: "Red, I know you are in there somewhere, please, snap out of this and we can help you?!"
Painite: ".... AFTER HOW YOU HAD TREATED ME?! I TRIED TO PROTECT GEMS, AND YOU TREATED ME ILL?!"
Sandy: "Aw shucks, Jerktonium's influence has made her angrier about what you Diamonds did to her?!"
Icky: "FIGURES?! AND THE ONLY GUY WHO CAN REVERSE THIS, GOT VORED TO DEATH?!"
Spinel: "..... Steven, you have Pink Dimond's powers, can't you just heal her like with any other corrupted gem?"
Steven: "She's too big for me to heal, and even if I tried, she'll just grab me and do to me what she did to Jerktonium! I can't help her if she doesn't want to be helped!"
Spinel: ".... But maybe, we can get Painite to help herself."
Icky: "WELL I DOUBT THIS KAIJU OF A WOMAN WOULD BE PATIENT ENOUGH FOR YOU TO SING A SONG AND DANCE NUMBER?!"
Spinel: ".... But what if we try to reach Red Diamond and get her to stop herself?"
Quantonium: "But if even Jerktonium was unable to reason with her in that state, how can any of us?"
Protium: "..... What if we try to be at her level?"
Quantonium:... What do you mean?
Protium: "I mean, we fuse into a creature of equal level?"
Peridot: You mean... Another Painite?!
Amethyst: Are you NUTS?!?
Pearl: A fusion that unstable could unleash irreversible destruction!
Bismuth: And who knows what will happen if Steven gets involved?!
Protium: "Well if you have any BETTER ideas, I would like to hear them!"
Silence......
Peridot: "..... This is literally our only logical recourse, isn't it?"
Protium: "Yes, yes it is."
Icky: "Hey, I know it's crazy, but it's either that or let chickzilla turn us all to lunch!"
Garnet:... We have no choice. We have to form Painite.
Amethyst: "I may not be crazy for this plan, but I'm also not crazy for being a snack!"
Steven: "..... Okay, let's do it!"
Peridot: The only question is, how are we going to get every type of gem together in one place aside from us?!
???: Say please. (The Diamond ship appears)
Steven: "..... Please."
Icky: ".... Ya didn't had to litterally say please."
Steven: Can you Elements fuse into some supermolecule or something?
Protium: It's not that simple. Elements can't just fuse with whatever other elements they want. Fusion for us is dependent on the chemical bonds. I'm sure you know how that works.
Kowalski: She's right... Or, he's right?
Protium: We have no genders.
Kowalski: Noted. Atoms bonds may result from the electrostatic force of attraction between oppositely charged ions as in ionic bonds or through the sharing of electrons as in covalent bonds. The strength of chemical bonds varies considerably. There are "strong bonds" or "primary bonds" such as covalent, ionic and metallic bonds, and "weak bonds" or "secondary bonds" such as dipole–dipole interactions, the London dispersion force and hydrogen bonding-
Skipper: NEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRD!!!
Protium: What we mean is, we can't all just fuse. You Gems are better at it than we are. We're limited to what makes sense to elements for fusing.
Icky: "You guys know this, and yet you wanted to get rid of gems, WHY?!"
Protium: "WELL JERKTONIUM WASN'T EXACTLY ABLE TO CONTROL THEM, NOW WAS HE?! Going after gems was mostly to avoid being embarrassments to the Matter Councilors! Outside of Jerktonium, it wasn't of intended malice, it's just, gems were doing things that threatened the Grand Design, AND ruined their beautiful crafts in planets, our masters would've faced cosmic citidel scrutiny for such!"
Pang Bing: "So you fear dishonoring your masters?"
Protium: "..... An accurate statement. I just wished we knew better to denounce Jerktonium sooner and not kept him around for as long as we did."
