The shadow assassin (steven universe reader-insert)

Chapter 35.

Peridot: No, I mean... the reason I called... the real reason is... I believe we should terminate the Cluster.

Yellow Diamond:...Why?

Peridot: The organic ecosystem creates resources unique to this world, we can't sacrifice all that potential just for one geo-weapon! I'd like to tell you some plans I came up with to utilize the planet without disrupting the local-

Yellow Diamond: (annoyed*) I've heard enough! I don't care about potential and resources.

Peridot: What?!

Yellow Diamond: I want my Cluster, and I want that planet to die. Just make that happen.

Peridot: ...No!

Yellow Pearl:, Huh!?

Yellow Diamond: Are you questioning my authority?!

Peridot: I'm... questioning your objectivity! My Diamond.

Yellow Pearl: Well...!

Yellow Diamond: (gets up from her seat*) You are out of line.

Peridot: I just think-

Yellow Diamond: I'm not interested in the puny thoughts of a Peridot-

Peridot: But!

Yellow Diamond: You have disrespected this channel and my time with your presence and you would do well to

Peridot: But-

Yellow Diamond: SHUT YOUR MOUTH! (Peridot complies*) You have failed at every stage of this mission. Your only chance to redeem yourself is to obey this simple order. You are to leave the Cluster to grow. It will tear apart the Earth, and I will take immense satisfaction in erasing that hideous rock off of our star maps! IS! THAT! CLEAR?!?!

Peridot: THEN I WON'T DO IT! I can tell you with certainty that there are things on this planet worth protecting!

You and Steven smiles as he watches on.

Yellow Diamond: What do you know about the Earth?!

Peridot: APPARENTLY MORE THAN YOU, YOU... CLOD!!!!!!!

Yellow Diamond glares at Peridot in pure anger. The Crystal Gems watch in shock and surprise.

Yellow Diamond: That is it!! (punches her throne causing a huge noise*) Iron! Shatter that peridot!!

Iron: What?!?!

Yellow Diamond: You heard me Iron. Shatter that defective peridot and you will restore you and your gem's honour!!

Iron: No way yellow diamond!

Yellow Diamond: Are you both disobeying me?!

Iron: Yes!! Why would I shatter one of my friends?! Just because she insulted you?!! No way, you clod!

Yellow Diamond: Why would you betray a very own diamond?! Just for your own friends!!

Iron: Because that's what normal person would do! You b*tch!!

Yellow diamond was confused a little while you laughed so much.

Peridot: Uhh! Peridot and Iron, out!

Peridot cuts the transmission. Iron changes back to her new form. The Crystal Gems then come out from hiding and begin to cheer and congratulate Peridot.

Steven: That was AMAZING!

Peridot: I can't believe I just did that...

Steven: I was so wrong about being so wrong about you!!

Peridot: I can't believe I just did that!...

Garnet : You thought you could change her mind.

Amethyst: Yellow D got torn down by the Peri-dactyl!

Peridot: (sighs and holds up the communicator*) Can one of you take this?
Pearl: (takes the communicator*) Why?

Peridot: Because it can be remotely detonated.

The communicator begins to glow red. The Crystal Gems start to panic while Peridot curls up on the ground.

Pearl: AH! How do we stop it!?

Garnet: Just get rid of it!

Pearl: Uhh, here Amethyst! (passes the communicator to Amethyst*)

Amethyst: WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH IT?!

Amethyst throws it to Steven, who quickly bubbles it, and Garnet punches the bubbled communicator into the sky, launching it far away before exploding.

Peridot I thought I could reason with her...

Amethyst Yeah. You really made her mad..

Pearl And then you insulted her to her face.

Steven Do you know what this means?!

Peridot I'm a traitor to my home world.

Steven You're a Crystal Gem! (hugs Peridot*)

Garnet: Whether you like it or not.

Peridot starts groaning loudly.

Iron sits down and started looking at the stars.

You: (sits down with iron*) You know, you didn't really have to call her that.

Iron: I know.

You: Do you know what's the meaning of the word?

Iron: Yes, I was studying human language for the war back in the time. You know what y/n, I think I'll start to like you now.

You: Why?

Iron: Because when you told me that I can do anything I can as long as it's right. It really helps me you know. Growing up as a normal person.

You: No problem.

Iron then hugs you and you blushed like a red tomato.

Iron: I already have faith in you. That you will become a great diamond one day.

You: (blushing*) Thanks, oh and congratulations.

Iron: For what?

You: For becoming a crystal gem.

Iron: Thanks.

Iron smiles and let's go of the hug joining the other crystal gems looking at the sky worrying about lapis
