The shadow assassin (steven universe reader-insert)

Chapter 35.

Amethyst begins to take off.

Pearl: That's right. You can feel horrible all you want back at the temple.

Amethyst flies off and chases Peridot.
Iron now wakes up and sees you and the crystal gems together.

Iron: Ehehehe..Hi...?

You: Steven, did you do what I ask?

Steven: Yup y/n. Turns out, your gem is a combination of at least one abilities of each diamond's power! Isn't it cool?

You: Yup it's kinda cool and thanks for doing it for me, I appreciate it.

Iron: (breathes heavily*) I'm sorry for hurting all of you.

Pearl: What? What do you mean by that exactly?

Iron: Look, I know I did some bad stuff especially during the gem war. But I want to change.

You: (looks at her suspeciously*) How are you going to prove to us that you really want to change?

Iron: I don't know, but I would rather fight for this planet because of it's equality than homeworld's unfair system.

You: Hmm, garnet what do you think?

Garnet: y/n (taps your right shoulder*) It's up to you remember?

You: (sighs*) I'll think about it iron.

When amethyst catches up on peridot's robot. She tries to operate the communicator with her robot's claws.

Amethyst: What's up, Perisnot?!

Steven: Good one, Amethyst!

You, Pearl and Garnet summon their weapons. Peridot screams as Garnet launches her gauntlets at the Peribot, knocking it into an electricity line. The robot falls over and lets go of the communicator.

Peridot: (slowly gets up*) Ohh...

Peridot sees the communicator just in front of her and grins, when Pearl's spear flies down and knocks it away from her. Amethyst shapeshifts back to normal and the Iron, You and Crystal Gems pounce onto Peridot's robot.

Amethyst: DOG PILE!

Peridot: No! Ahh!

You and The Gems begin smashing the Peribot as Peridot slips away through the arm of the robot to retrieve the communicator. Only Steven notices Peridot and runs after her.

Steven: You're not getting away with it! (grapples Peridot*) I TRUSTED YOU! I spend all that time bonding and hoping and caring about you!

Peridot: You don't get it either! This is your whole prooobleeem! Your emotions rule out reason! I will do what has to be done! (finally activates the communicator*)

Steven: Ahh! (backs off as the communicator turns yellow*)

Peridot: (snickers*) She'll sort this out! (releases the communicator as it floats in front of her*)

Garnet grabs Steven and You, Iron and the Crystal Gems quickly take cover behind the damaged Peribot. A chime is heard as the communicator opens up a screen. Peridot gets manically excited.

Yellow Pearl: This is the Yellow Diamond control room.

Amethyst: Is that another Pearl?

Steven: Who is she?

Pearl: Ugh, not all Pearls know each other, Steven.

Yellow Pearl: Who authorized you to make this call?

Peridot: No one, b-but it's an emergency!

Yellow Pearl: That's no excuse to use the direct Diamond communication channel.
