Chapter One
Moving on Means Leaving Behind
"This is it. We're leaving." Garnet sighed. After decades on planet Earth, this was it. They had managed to stop the cluster but the homeworld gems had managed to take over the Earth. The gems didn't want for it to end this way but it simply had to... There was no way for Earth to survive. "Are you sure this is really necessary... We can't just leave the planet we vowed to protect... And what about Greg and Connie? We can't just leave him here!" Pearl exclaimed. "And how do we know they'll even accept us back into the homeworld? The diamonds will probably have us sentenced to death, and besides, there isn't pizza in the homeworld." Amethyst said. "Silence! I realize that we vowed to take care of this Earth, but we lost! We need to accept our fate, whatever is waiting on the other side of the warp pad. The time has come to move on if we stay here Steven will die!" Garnet said. Silence filled the room. After a few moments, Steven walked into the house. "Guys! They're all over the beach!" Steven shouted. The gems rushed to the window. And one by one they all gasped, they were outnumbered by hundreds. "We have to get to the warp pad!" Pearl yelled. Garnet, Pearl, and Amethyst rushed to the warp pad. "Not without my dad and Connie!" Steven exclaimed. Amethyst wrapped her whip around Steven and pulled him to the warp pad. The only words he could hear were; "I'm sorry." And then he blacked out.
Steven awoke with a frightening sensation all over his body. He was in a small room with steel walls. "Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl!" He called. But there was no answer. All he could do was sit there. He thought about his dad, and how he would soon be destroyed. He thought about Connie and how he missed her so much. And he thought about his mother, what she would be doing if she were in his position. "What would Rose do...?" He thought aloud. Steven then heard a banging on the steel door. A petite sized gem opened the door, the gem on her forehead was a blueish green color. Steven backed away and tried to hide. "Don't be scared Steven, my name is Tourmaline and I'm going to help you," She said. Steven didn't know why but for some reason, he trusted her. Steven rose to his feet and walked to her. "Welcome to the Homeworld Steven, I'm going to take you to your friends and they can explain everything to you." Tourmaline said. Steven's head was racing with questions, but he did not feel comfortable asking them. Instead, he nodded and followed her. Steven stepped out of the room onto what seemed like a street, it was narrow and white surrounded by white and blue buildings, there were also many waterfalls that appeared to be flowing straight from the sky. "This is the Blue Diamond district." Tourmaline said. "All of those who hail to Blue Diamond live here." She continued.
After walking for what seemed like forever, Tourmaline and Steven finally reached a small house, it was different, it was almost like a basement. Close to the ground, and the color was brown. Tourmaline opened the hatch and crawled inside. She signaled for Steven to follow her. Pearl, Amethyst, and Garnet seemed to rush to check on him at once. "Steven are you okay?!" They all asked at the same time. "Yes, I'm fine. Just a bit confused." Steven said. "Sit down Steven, we will explain everything." Garnet said. Steven looked behind Garnet there was a whole living area it looked like it was from Earth. Pearl caught a glimpse of Tourmaline out of the corner of her eye and gasped. "Tourmaline! I missed you so much!" She exclaimed. Pearl and Tourmaline ran to each other and hugged at this moment they fused. "Yes! Kunzite is back!" Amethyst squealed.
