"I know some of you were Crystal Gem warriors," Turquoise started, "I also know some of you worked for the Diamond Authority."

At this some of them shifted uncomfortably. Most of the quartz had served at least one of the five diamonds which includes Turquoise ofcourse.

Turquoise hesitated then continued, "I'm sure you all know why the gem war began. It began with the....shattering of Pink Diamond."

"So what're we here for?," a burly amitrine asked boldly.

"I'm getting to that," Turquoise answered sharply making the gem shrink back. "Pink Diamond is in fact not dead at all."

There was a collective gasp and an ionite was brave enough to shout, "You're working with them. Pink is gone."

Turquoise shot a withering stare her way, (like major I don't take shit face), "Perhaps if you'd let me finish you'll understand." She then shifted her gaze and swept it across the crowd.

She pulled Steven next to her, "This is Pink Diamond." She took a deep breath, "Rose Quartz did not shatter Pink. Rose Quartz is Pink Diamond, and she had a son, he is Rose."

There was dead silence, all eyes fell on Steven. He waved nervously.

"My diamond I do not think this is the best way," a small long haired peridot said, "We do not know who we can trust."

Turquoise turned towards the voice, "I thought you were shattered," she said smiling, "Its quite nice to see you again. But these are desperate times," she added as her expression hardened.

She turned to look at the others, "Please. This planet and all others like it does not deserve to be destroyed. We can find another way to survive."

An azure sapphire stepped forward, "The time is near my diamond, they are near."

For a moment a panicked expression crossed Turquoise's face,  "Thank you Azure, please fight for the right side."

"If you're right then we'll be fighting White Diamond. She is unbeatable," the ionite said shrinking behind Jasper's glare.

"I'm well aware of what White is capable of. But I don't have one thing. Hope," Turquoise said.

"Hope that we can pull through. Hope that we can be whoever you want to be. Hope that we can win," Turquoise said, "Please just give us a chance."

A loud crash interrupted them. "Get out here!" A voice that Steven, Connie and Amethyst had never heard said, a voice that the others knew all to well.
