Did I forget to mention I am Steven Universe trash as of late? Oops. Tumblr's fault. Also Peridot is the best Dorito ever

...Pericopter
Peridot sank her fingers into the warship's control desk, feeling the buzz run quickly through her robotic lower arms into her upper arms, and from there, spreading all over her body. Her gem met the buzz, and she, with a small shiver, connected to the entire ship. The green Gem remembered her training, and focused her sole energy into steering the ship, programming it from it's orbiting state into one of preparing the engines to warp. Peridot pushed away all thoughts, anger or fear regardless, of Jasper's delaying of the mission, in order to concentrate on the powerful engine. Suddenly she paused. A tremble ran through the ship, near the engine room.
How irregular. I wonder if… No. She was being preposterous. How could the rebels have escaped? They couldn't. The energy of the force fields was the same in a Gem Destabilizer. It was meant to painfully shock and repel Gems, whether apart or away.
She returned her attention to the ship's engines, but the curiosity of the tremor that lingered at the back of her mind fought with her reluctance to pursue the thought.
Peridot momentarily thought of the monitors in the room above the engine room. Hmm. Couldn't hurt to look. She flicked her control of the ship to the monitors in the room. Nothing odd. Just as expec- What-... Oh no… How did those two get out?! Jasper, the Ruby, and the Sapphire- the latter two having managed to fuse once again- Jasper was fighting the fusion, and didn't look to be winning. The fusion sang, smiling, and dodging the attacks, returning blows. The technician wondered why on Homeworld Jasper wasn't using her Gem Destabilizer. It would certainly help.
A hiss distracted her further. Even though she knew it could be a potential mistake, Peridot's gaze lingered on the monitor for a bit before removing herself from the control desk, leaving a flushed and empty feeling in her gem. She stared in shock at the three escapees that stood defiantly across the long space between her at her chair and the doorway they stood in on the ship's bridge. Her eyes flicked to the Gem Destabilizer port, and she grabbed one of the defensive weapons out without hesitation. The 'Steven' ran at her, a determined look on his face. She towered over him, Gem Destabilizer ready at her side. As he closed the gap, she struck down with the Destabilizer, ready to fire. But, much to her shock, he gripped the very energy orb, and began audibly shuddering, glaring at the thing as glowing, yellow data-like lines crawled up his flesh. He ripped his glare up to her, and she gaped, eyes wide in utter astonishment, at his apparent immunity to the powerful tool, not a hint of pain in his eyes, or of faintness in his posture. Only ferocity she had not seen in him before. Peridot dropped her handle of the weapon, and it was then that a studded whip coiled around her body and tightened, dragging her feet out from under her and causing her to fall. Luckily she fell on her side, not cracking her gem or visor.
She watched in sudden horror as the Pearl and the Steven ran to the control desk. A weight fell upon her side, pressing her down, forcing her to remain stationary. The Amethyst watched Peridot with her eyes as she stood on her with a boot, unamused and slightly superior-like in expression.
Keeping her gaze on Amethyst, but yelling at all of them, Peridot called out angrily, "Don't touch that!" She then added, her anger further propelled by a slight fear, "You clods don't know what you're doing!" They could crash this ship and shatter all our gems. A flicker of doubt passed across the Pearl's face. No, that's right. You don't know what you're doing, do you?
"You got this, Pearl!" The purple gem above her called to her comrade, completely contradictory to Peridot, who, before she could say anything further, the Pearl said,
"Okay, ship. Turn us around!" And with that, stuck her hands in the control desk, probably expecting to turn a few dials or something completely outdated like that. Instead, her hands sunk in, and data began to flood visibly across her eyes. She let out a shuddering, surprised gasp, causing Peridot to recall her first attempt at controlling a ship. Her reaction had been similar. Except she'd been whacked across the head for it.
"No emotions! They are simply distractions. Control the ship, technician. Focus! NOW!"
That was it. Focus. She shifted her attention to the escape pod tile. If she could only get over there...Suddenly an explosion wracked the ship, throwing Peridot and her captors bouncing across the bridge. Peridot was now a lot closer to the tile. She wormed her way over once the shaking of the ship stopped, and gently bumped her gem against the tile. The last thing she heard before the spherical pod encased her was a surprised and angry grunt from her captor as she realized her prisoner was escaping. But it was too late. The escape pod shot with tremendous speed out of the ship and into space, hurtling towards Earth.
Let them crash. See if they survive. Hmmph.
Her thoughts then turned to her similar predicament. Ah. Well. Good going, you clod. She then crashed, tossing up smoke and earth, and the world exploded in pain, a blinding flash of white, and then black.
