*The next day at the temple* Pearl: Another successful mission. Starlite: Though it could have gone better without the distractions... Amethyst. Amethyst: Lay off, I said I was sorry. *Steven walks in* Steven: Hi guys, what's with all the arguing? Starlite: Amethyst almost let this giant beat get away. *shows poofed creature* who knows what it could have done if we hadn't stopped it in time. Garnet: The important thing is that we stopped it and that it can't do anything now. Steven: Guys what happened? Starlite: long story. *the gems tell Steven the story of what happened on their recent mission* Steven: Wow... How did you guys survive? Pearl: using the resources around us. It's actually quite simple when it comes down to it.

Amethyst: She's lying. You and I both know that she did some sort of science thing out some junk to get us or of there like she always does. Steven: Well I'm just glad your all safe and alive. Starlite: same here. Steven: So now what? Starlite: I don't know. *Steven's phone rings* Starlite: What is that? Steven: My phone. Oh right I haven't explained everything yet. *answers and speaks to Connie* Starlite: strange... Human technology seems oddly minor compared to the tech back in Homeworld. Pearl: I'd very much appreciate it if you didn't mention that. Starlite: Right my bad. Well I have some training to do. Steven: Can I come to?! Starlite: I don't think you've seen my room. How about we all go check it out? Pearl: A little peek wouldn't hurt. Amethyst: Cool what's it like in there? Starlite: You'll see in a second. *opens gem door and everyone walks in behind Starlite* Starlite: Here it is... My room. Careful there is no floor. Just kidding... It may look like an empty void but the floor is only textured like that. The rest of the room is actually that way. Steven: Don't I need a space suit? Starlite: It's not actual outer space in here. It only looks that way. Seriously though there are some hard to see craters in the ground from training and stuff so is watch my step if I were you.

Pearl: So this is your room... It's very nice and very tidy. Starlite: Yeah, I keep it clean but when I start training it becomes a bit messy. Rocks and debris fly everywhere that whole thing. *virtual city spawns* Steven you should take a few steps back... Unless you can handle this next battle? Steven: I'll just watch first and maybe I'll jump in. Amethyst: How big is this place? Starlite: actually.... someone should carry you because this virtual town is huge so I don't want you to be alone. Pearl: I'd rather sit this one out so I can watch Steven. Starlite: don't worry I'll try not to run out of sight but if I do you can just look up abs see what's going on from the big screen. Steven: Cool. Starlite: Ready? Amethyst: You know it! Garnet: Ready. Starlite: Training simulation alpha 36378 engage! *holo Starlites run from behind every section of the virtual city* Amethyst: More holograms? Starlite: Trust me... the programming is really advanced for hand to hand combat. *kicks hologram starlite making it shatter*

Pearl: This seems interesting. Steven: Whoa watch out amethyst! *amethyst whips hologram* amethyst: I'm fine stevebro. *gets hit in the back* your gonna pay for that you stupid hologram!!! Starlite: Seems you've got the hand of this. *amethyst gets dog piled by a large group of holograms* Garnet: Hands off! *hits hologram with gauntlet* Starlite: We can stop now is this is too much. *Amethyst breaks free shattering the holograms* amethyst: No way, I'm having way too much fun. Garnet: This is quite entertaining actually. *they destroy the rest of the holograms* Pearl: Is that it? Starlite: It is for now. They come back every few hours stronger than the last round. Sometimes they're here when I walk in. It sorta gives me a challenge when they do that. Steven: Can it clone anyone? Starlite: Yup. Watch this. *room spawns hologram pearl*Pearl: But how? Starlite: Well that's what I'm still figuring out. *hologram pearl disappears and two new ones appear* residu recognize these two? Steven: Amber and Topaz? Pearl: That's very cute and all but I must get going. There's much to do. Starlite: Like what? Pearl: I have other things to do that isn't anyone else's business. Starlite: Alright you don't have to be such a sourpuss. *opens door for Pearl* Pearl: *walks out the door* Steven: *chuckles* Sourpuss. Amethyst: Yeah. That was pretty good but Garnet is still the master of comedy. Starlite: But she hasn't said anything. Amethyst she does it'll be hilarious. Starlite: I hope so. Well I'll be back soon. I'm gonna go check the kindergarten to see it anything has been there since we last checked. *door opens and Steven, Amethyst, Garnet, and Starlite leave*

Garnet: Be careful. The kindergarten is a very dangerous place to be in. Starlite: Don't worry about us, well be perfectly fine... I guarantee it. *Starlite steps on warp pad and warps away* Steven: Well I'm gonna go or for a while. Garnet: Alright then. *Steven waves and leaves* Garnet: Hmm... *in the ancient gem ruins* Starlite: Now all I have to do is find, capture, get the information from Peridot, and let the others decide what to do with her aftevbr we get what we need from her. *a voice comes from broken down abandoned ship* Starlite: Peridot. *walks toward the voice* I've got you now Peridot. *she turns and notices the figure standing at the opening of the old ship* Starlite: This is your end Peridot. Nowhere else left to run. Peridot: Why would I run when you've walked right into my trap?! *ship door slams shut* Peridot: you stupid little clod you think you can actually take me on... Honestly you have no idea who you're up against. Starlite: first off I'm not a clod second off I know exactly who I'm dealing with peridot and finally you don't know who you're dealing with and when I capture you I'll take you back to the others and let them decide what to do with you after we get the information from you. Peridot: how to capture me you'll have to catch me first you weakling. fortunately for me that won't be necessary because I have you right where I want you in my trap! *she aims her hand cannon at me ready to shoot* starlite: ok going to shoot me at least have the dignity to listen to my last words first hmm? Peridot: don't have time for your last words all I have time for is your obliteration and then for me to continue on with this project I'm doing here. Your obliteration will be the easiest thing since taking over the stupid planet! *she shoots at me* starlite: Nice Nice try peridot but that won't work on me like the last few times we fought! *starlite jumps out of the way and summons his sword*

Peridot: You Crystal clod you can't beat me. *Peridot shoots at starlite* Starlite: Is that all you've got peridork?! *ducks and swings kicks* Peridot: Aagh! How are you so fast you lumpy clumpy clod?! *shoots at Starlite again and again* Starlite: The art of evasion Peridot is something you don't know but u are only an info gem not made for combat like many of the others were like Jasper and Rose.
