CHAPTER HAS BEEN EDITED AND IS NOW 60% BETTER

Wait so… which one is Peridot? And which one is Lapis?" Connie asks.

"That one's Peridot, and that one is Lapis." Steven points to Peridot and Lapis respectively; Lapis isn't even paying attention. "Oh." Connie sighs. "Steven." said person turns to Connie. "What?"

"You have too many moms." Connie deadpans

"What?" Steven asks confused. Before connie could explain a loud noise filled the room.

BOOM

CRACK

BOOM

"What was that?" Lapis asks a little worried.

"I have no idea." Steven replies.

Suddenly the warp pad activated and Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl came running in the room with scared looks on their faces.

"Garnet! What was that?" Steven asks. Garnet paused for a moment.

"I… have an idea but i'm not sure about it." Garnet said in her usual stoic voice.

"What do you mean you're not sure?" Pearl asked trying not to sound panicked but was failing.

"What's happening?" Amethyst asked, finally finding interest in the conversation.

"Amethyst." Garnet said, and said gem focused on Garnet. "An explosion happened somewhere. I don-"

"An explosion?" Amethyst cut garnet off with excitement in her voice. "Where?" She asks wanting to get in on the action.

"Mount. Ebott." Garnet says.

(Cue dramatic music)

"Mt. Ebott!?" Amethyst exclaims dramatically, then pauses. "What's Mt. Ebott?" Garnet sighed and took a breath. "I'll tell you the story."

Steven's eyes widened in excitement! He always loved stories.

"Long ago, two races ruled over earth. Humans, and Monsters." Garnet began.

"What about the gems?" lapis asks paying more attention now.

"This was before gems came to Earth." Pearl states; Garnet continued to tell the story. "One day war broke out between the two races."

Peridot was pretending she wasn't listening, but really she was into the story.

"After a long battle, the Humans were victorious. They sealed all the Monsters Underground with a magic spell. And they have been trapped ever since."

"Garnet? Do you think…?" Pearl asked nervously, fearing the worst.

"It's possible. But I think Steven should check it out." Garnet replied.

"Steven?!" Pearl, Amethyst, and Peridot exclaimed.

"Yes." Garnet said. "Steven should go with Connie and Lion to find out what caused that explosion." Garnet turned to Steven, and kneeled to look him in the eyes.

"Steven. I know you can do this. Lion should know where to go from here. Be safe okay?" Steven nodded with determination in his eyes and a smile on his face.

"C'mon Connie! To Mt. Ebott!" Steven yelled as he ran outside to see where Lion ran off to this time.

"I'm coming!" Connie yells back. Steven looks back to see her running behind him.

TIME SKIP

They finally found Lion. after an entire hour. Who knew he could hide so well? He's a big pink lion!

"Lion! I need you to take me and Connie to Mt. Ebott! It's very important!" Steven tells him.

He looks at me, yawns, stretches out, and lowers his back so we can get on. "Thanks Lion! You deserve your naps this week!" Lion took off, opening a portal and jumped through it.

When they exited the portal they were in this blue, mysterious, and wet place. "Lion!" Steven groans. "You were supposed to take us to Mt. Ebott! Not here! Wherever we are!" Lion just ignores Steven and lays down.

"Where do you think we are?" Connie asks.

"I don't know…" Steven replied confused.

"Who are YOU?" they hear a voice from behind them. It sounded a bit like Peridot's voice to be honest. they turn around to see another kid about the same age wearing a blue and purple striped sweater, and was a holding a flower pot with a flower in it.

Wait a second…. Does that flower…. Have a face?
