Steven's eyes shot open at the sound of singing. He gasped and sat up, feeling a pain around his right eye. "Amethyst? Pearl?" He called out as he looked around. He was in a small cell-like room. He suddenly remembered Garnet's gemstones clattering on the ground.

"Garnet," He gasped then stood up. "Where are they?" He began running forward and immediately skid to a stop at the sight of a clear yellow wall in front of him. "Whoa" he exclaimed.

On the other side of the wall was a hallway. In that hallway were many other cells like the one Steven was in. A few of which were blocked off by clear yellow barriers which served as a door. Above each cell was a yellow pipe that looked like it fueled each door. A long yellow pipe ran through the ceiling connecting the smaller pipe to it.

Steven decided to touch the barrier to see what would happen. He pressed each of his fingers on the barrier. The barrier responded with a shock. Steven retracted his hands. He then covered his eyes with his left hand and touched the barrier with his right index finger. It slipped right through. He looked at his hand as he stuck it farther through the barrier. The barrier had caused his veins to illuminate.

"Ew." He said looking at the underside of his arm "Cool" He pushed himself through the barrier, which he struggled doing. Once he made it to the other side, he shuttred. "I'm out. Woo-Hoo!" He cheered to himself. "Okay. Where is everybody." He ran to the right. "Gotta find them, gotta find them, gotta find--" he cut himself off once he noticed someone huddled in a corner. The small red gem had her face buried in her hands as if she was crying. "Um, hello? Are you okay?"

She jumped in shock and looked up at Steven. She stared at Steven, catching her breath. She growled in anger and punched the wall behind her, knocking Steven off his feet. "Great! This is just perfect" she shouted, placing her hands on her head.

"Uh... Do you need any help? Steven asked

"No" she responded "I mean don't look at me! Just... go away" she curled up in a ball and laid on the floor. Shocked, Steven back away a couple of steps. As he started to walk away, she noticed something "Hey wait, you're out. How did you get passed the field?"

"Oh. I just kinda--" Steven started, reaching for the barrier she was standing behind.

"Wait. No no no no wait." She warned, Steven stuck his hand the the barrier. "It's okay?" As Steven retracted his hand, she stuck out her hand to touch the barrier. She got shocked and flailed her hand in pain and looked back at Steven. "What's going on?" She asked.

The singing that woke Steven up continued. Both Steven and the other gem looked around. "Somebody's singing" Steven pointed out

"Sapphire" She whispered under her breath. "Let me out of here!" She raised her voice, which got Stevens attention. "Please! I need to find Sapphire!"

"Is she your friend? I'm looking for my friends too" Steven responded.

"She's all alone, I need to find her!"

"Don't worry, we'll find our friends" Steven said, holding his arm through the barrier, leaving an open area underneath his arm. "A-and we'll do it toge-ether" his voice slightly shaky. She slid through the opening and ran off to the left. "Wait for me!" Steven followed after her.

"Hey my name is Steven by the way. What's yours?" He asked.

"Quiet! Ugh! I can't see..." She looked left then right. "This way" She ran to the right.

Following after her, Steven asked "How more many gems are trapped here?"

"Don't know, don't care" They stopped in front of a window "She stopped singing" Steven looked out the window and saw the Earth. "Sapphire!" she called. She ran off and Steven quickly followed after her. She gasped at the sight of a blue gem "Oh, it's just you." She said angrily.

"Lapis" Steven said. From behind a barrier, Lapis turned around in shock and looked at Steven. "Lapis I can get you out" Steven started, reaching for the barrier. The other gem was pacing in circle behind them.

"Stop!" Lapis shouted

"It's okay, I can--" Steven tried to help

"No! I don't want your help. Things are bad enough as it is. I've already made too much trouble. Once we get back to homeworld, they are gong to decide was to do with us."

The other gem was fed up. "Argh! I don't have time for this" She exclaimed before storming off.

"Wait." Steven called after her.

"Steven" Steven looked back a Lapis. "Whatever you're doing just stop. If we do everything they say, they might go easy on us."

"But they're... mean. They hurt my friends, they hurt my face, they've got you locked in prison" Steven retaliated

"That's why we can't fight them"

"That's we have to fight them" Lapis moved away from Steven and hugged her legs to her chest. "I'll come back for you" she before running off.

He followed the sound of the singing down a hallway. Hearing footsteps, Steven pins himself against the left side of the wall. Jasper and Peridot walk from the left side of the interconnecting hall. "We can't leave yet" Peridot said, obviously not noticing Steven.

Steven moved over to the right wall in peaked his head into the interconnecting wall to see if they had left. "The whole point of coming here was to check on the cluster" Peridot told Jasper.

Jasper punched the wall next to a cell "Stop singing!" she yelled. She turned back to Peridot. "Rose Quartz takes priority Get back to the bridge, and set a course for homeworld" She instructed then continued down the hallway. Peridot walked the other direction.

"Go to earth they said. It'll be easy they said" Peridot said. Steven held his breath hoping Peridot didn't notice him. Luckily she didn't.

A small blue gem in the cell Jasper was just standing in front of looked around. She continued singing. Steven walked up to her. "Hey. I like your song. Are you Sapphire?" He asked her.

"You escaped" Sapphire started. Steven stuck his hand through the barrier. "Of course".

Steven held the barrier open with his arms. "Come o-on, i-t's sa-afe" He offered.

"Thank you Steven" Sapphire said, crawling out from under Steven's arms.

"You-'r-re welcome" Steven responded.

"Sapphire!" a distant voice shouted. Sapphire grabbed Steven's arm

"Come on" She said as she ran. She ran fast for a little bit then suddenly stopped in front of an archway. On the other side was a large room with another archway on the other side. The other red gem ran past on the other side. The two noticed each other. "Ruby!" she called out. Sapphire let go of Steven's hand. The two ran toward each other and embraced in a hug.

They pulled away, Ruby placing her hands on Sapphire's cheeks. "Did they hurt you?" Ruby asked

"No no, I'm okay. Did they hurt you?" Sapphire said, placing her left hand on Ruby's

"Who cares!?" Ruby responded, tears rolling down her cheeks.

"I do" Sapphire replied, kissing Ruby's tearstained cheeks. Ruby grabbed Sapphire by the waist and picked her up. She spun her around while they both laughed. They both disappeared in a bright glow of fusion.

Erupting from the glow was Garnet. Laughing, she jumped jumped down to Steven's eye level exposing her three eyes. "Steven! Thank you" She exclaimed.

"Garnet! You're a fusion?!" Steven exclaimed, starstruck

"Oh. I-I-I'm sorry. We didn't want you meeting us here like this" She retaliated.

"Well, did I make a good first impression?"

"Oh Steven," She put a hand on Steven's cheek and smiled "We already love you" Steven smiled back.

"Where is she?!" The two hear a voice yell through the hallway. They automatically knew who the voice belonged to.

"It's Jasper. Steven, find the others and get to the control bridge." She instructed Steven.

"But I don't know where they are." Steven replies confused. Garnet kissed his forehead. He immediately knew the other's location. He gasped. "Future vision" he said, starstruck. "Wait, are going to be able to beat her on you're own?" he asked.

"It's okay Steven, I'm never alone". Garnet replied. Steven nodded and ran to get the others. Just as he left, Jasper entered

"Oh, great. You're both out, and you're fused again? Why? Fusion is a cheap tactic to make weak gems stronger. Quit embarrassing yourselves. I see what you really are" Jasper said.

Garnet chuckled "No you haven't"

(Personally I couldn't be bothered with the descriptions in the song)

This is Garnet
Back together
And I'm never going down at the hands at the likes of you
Because I'm so much better
And every part of me is saying go get her

The two of us ain't gonna follow your rules
Come at me without any of your fancy tools
Let's go just me and you
Let's go, just one on two

Go ahead try and hit me if you're able
Can't you see my relationship is stable
I can see you hate the way we intermingle
But I think that you're mad 'because you're single

You're never gonna stop what we made together
We are going to stay like this forever
If you break up apart, we'll just come back newer
And we'll always be twice the gem that you are

I am made
O-o-o-o-of
Lo-o-o-o-ove
O-o-o-o-of

After releasing Pearl and Amethyst, they and steven ran towards the control bridge where they found Peridot. She turned to look at them once they entered the room. Her eyes flashed from blue and white dots to normal. Peridot summoned a destabilizer from the panel and pointed it at Steven. Steven grabbed the destabilizer which illuminated his veins. This shocked Peridot.

Lo-o-o-o-ove
O-o-o-o-of
Lo-o-o-o-ove

"Don't touch that! You clods don't know what you're doing" Peridot shouted, tied up in Amethyst's whip.

Amethyst looked at her unamused then redirected her attention to Pearl "You got this Pearl" She exclaimed

"Okay ship, turn us around" Pearl said, putting her hands in the control panel. Her eyes flashed to blue and white dots "OOOOOOooooo..." she exclaimed.

Steven, who was standing next to Pearl, redirected his attention from her to a screen on his left. On the screen, Garnet and Jasper were still fighting.

Garnet struggled to keep Jasper from hitting her with her helmet, which was causing her to skid across the ground. She managed to punch her into the air, causing her to hit the clear ceiling. Jasper curled into a spin-dash and charged at Garnet, drilling her and herself deep into the ship.

This is who we are
This is who I am
If you think you can stop me
Then you need to think again

'Cause I am a feeling
That I will never end
And I won't let you hurt my planet
And I won't let you hurt my friends

Go ahead try and hit me if you're able
Can't you see my relationship is stable
I know you think I'm not something you're afraid of
Because you think that you see what I'm made of

But I am even more than the two of them
Everything they care about is what I am
I am their fury
I am their patience
I am a conversation

I am made
O-o-o-o-of
Lo-o-o-o-ove
O-o-o-o-of
And it's stronger than you

Lo-o-o-o-ove
O-o-o-o-of
Lo-o-o-o-ove
And it's stronger than you

Garnet entered the control bridge. Her visor was cracked. "Garnet!" Pearl, Amethyst, and Steven called out.

"This ship is going down" Garnet replied.

"What about Lapis?" Steven asked

"There's no time" Garnet responded

Lo-o-o-o-ove
And it's stronger than you

Lo-o-o-o-ove
O-o-o-o-of
Lo-o-o-o-ove
And it's stronger than you

The gem warship crashed down on the side of the temple and exploded, leaving debris all over the beach. Lion ran onto the beach, Looking around, he ran over to a pile of debris. He roared at it, causing the debris to crumple, revealing a large pink bubble. In the bubble, was Garnet hugging Pearl, Amethyst and Steven

Steven withdrew the bubble and Garnet let go. "Nice one" She said to Steven

"Oh my gosh! I can't believe you're a fusion all the time!" Steven said.

"You met Ruby and Sapphire?" Amethyst asked

"Oh no. We were going to introduce you. Garnet your plan" Pearl told Garnet

"We were waiting for your birthday" Garnet replied

"We can still do it." Steven started, him and the others getting up "I'll just pretend I didn't know"

Amethyst laughed. Jaspers hand shot out through a pile of flaming debris about twenty meters away from the others. She immediately stood up, blasting the debris from around her. She took a couple deep breaths and walked a few step forward before falling on her knees. The other gems looked at her and gasped

"Don't think you won. You only beat me 'cause you're a fusion. If I had someone to fuse with, I--" She was cut off by the sound of debris rumbling.

Lapis crawled out from under debris and collapsed on the ground. She noticed Jasper and sprouted her water wings. "Come here, brat" Jasper grabbed her by the leg and hung her by her arm. "Aw, don't fly off so soon" Jasper said.

"Lapis!" Steven called out. The Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl grabbed him to keep him from running off.

"Lapis listen, fuse with me" Jasper demanded

"What?" Lapis said, confused

"How long did they keep you trapped here on this hideous hunk of rock" Jasper let go of her arm, causing her to fall to the ground. "These gems, they're traitors to their homeworld. They kept you prisoner. They used you. This is your chance to take revenge." Steven gulped. "Come on. Just say yes." she persuaded.

"Lapis, don't do it" Steven said, trying to stop her

She closed her eyes and turned to Jasper. She held out her hand toward her. Jasper smiled and grabbed her hand

"Nooo..." Steven cried

Jasper spun her around and dipped her. She looked back at the Crystal Gems and started glowing. The glow grew and sprouted arms and four legs. The figure's hair flared to life. Jasper and Lapis fused into Malachite. A tall blue-greenish figure with both Jasper and Lapis' gem. Malachite got down on all sixes and chucked while she summoned a hand from the water on her left.

The hand grabbed Malachite's wrist and transformed into a chain. Distracted, she didn't notice a second hand grab her other wrist and transform into another chain. A third hand came from behind her and grabbed her back and transformed into two chains crossing across her chest, pulling her back.

The Crystal Gems were surprised. Malachite stuggled to walk forward. The water chains were pulling her into the ocean

"What are you doing?" Jasper asked through Malachite

"I'm done being everyone's prisoner. Now you're my prisoner and I never letting you go!" Lapis exclaimed through Malachite. Two more hands grabbed her hind legs. Struggling to stay on the beach, she was dragged into the ocean. Jasper attempted to unfuse with Lapis, but she forced them to stay together.

"Lapis!" Steven exclaimed

"Let's stay on this misrable planet, together!" Malachite was dragged into the ocean, not to be seen for a long time

The Crystal Gems just stared out into the ocean in shock for a couple of seconds in silence. Garnet broke the silence.

"Yikes. They are really bad for eachother" She said

Steven's phone started ringing. He anwered it. "Uh... Hello?"

It was Connie. "Steven I got you're message. Are you okay? What's going on"
