What's the Use of Feeling, Yellow?

Blue ran out of the room, despite Yellow calling after her. Yellow massaged the bridge of her nose.

"Get out," Yellow said quietly, but the other gems could hear her.

"But, my Diamond…"

"Leave, all of you," Yellow shouted. No other gem waited for another demand. Even Pearl didn't dare to stay. Yellow was alone in the briefing room, just as she wanted. The tears that were running down her face, weren't Blue's fault any more.

Yellow got up went to the nearest wall and punched it, "You little fool, I told you, you weren't ready, I told you…" She trailed off after resting her head against the wall.

How many times did she and Pink get into arguments?

They were Pink's fault. She always got in the way. She would have messed up something if Yellow hadn't pulled her away. Then Pink would turn around and yell at her. Saying things like the duties she had weren't important, that Yellow never cared about her or saw her as important.

Yellow would yell back. For disrupting her work, and simply none of what Pink said was true.

She was important. There was more to ruling than colonizing. Pink had something about her that kept the common gems happy. Something she, Blue, and White didn't seem to be able to do. The gems didn't hate them, but they did seem to fear them, and fear wasn't something that could keep gems loyal all the time. Pink was kind, approachable, she was important to their empire.

So why didn't you tell her that before she was shattered? A voice in the back of her head asked. When Pink called and said she needed help and even started wanted to leave, Yellow felt snide. It wasn't as easy as you thought it would be. But despite that she thought Pink was just being immature again. She believed once she got it together She would finally have a colony of her own. How wrong Yellow was.

Yellow clenched her fist, she nearly punched the wall again. But forced herself to calm down.

"Pull yourself together Yellow, you are a Diamond," she told herself. This was why she had the other gems leave. She couldn't show weakness. Especially now that Pink was shattered. It was time to be a leader, it was time for justice.

She thought back to the cluster plan she had originally came up with as a last resort. She was fine with using shattered criminal remains, but for a planet Earth's size she'd have to use the remains of loyal gems. The thought made her sick, a part of her was appalled of what she was intending. Those gems lived and died for the Authority, for Pink and this was how she was awarding them? The rational side said, if they knew Pink had been shattered they would have wanted this.

She took in a breath. It had to be done. Pink was shattered. Earth was too dangerous for gem kind. She stood up straight and regained her composure. First, they needed to make sure the rebels could never leave Earth. Destroying the homeworld warp was not good enough, among them were engineers who were bound to create ships. And she didn't want to waste any more time.

Then her thoughts turn to something. The corruption technique. The power to warp a gems mind and physical form. They would become as mindless and dangerous as animals. It was crude, and honestly Yellow didn't like the idea. However, the cluster would take millennia to incubate and emerge. With the corruption technique the gems wouldn't have the means to escape Earth; giving the cluster plenty of time to emerge. They would spend the rest of their lives mindlessly tearing each other apart until the cluster ended it. She shook her head, this wasn't revenge, Earth was simply to dangerous for the empire. It produced and housed traitors. She wasn't emotional she was rational.

She looked out the window at the planet. For a planet this size, Yellow couldn't pull it off on her own. She would need the aid of Blue and White. That wouldn't be a problem. White was currently busy with another colony, but by the time she was done she should be able to come in a matter of months. That should give her time to implant the cluster.

She'll go over the plans with the other Diamonds, but first she needed to try and calm Blue down enough to listen.

Remember when this was a show about a kid singing about an ice cream sandwich?
