As the fight goes on the Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl and Bismuth are having a hard time dealing with the paladins thanks to the additional help they have on their side. Lapis and Peridot arrive in time to give them a hand "Lapis you help Garnet and Bismuth! i'll Help Amethyst!" said Peridot.

"What about Pearl?"

Peridot turned to see Pearl dealing with Keith and Kroila. Pearl was just barely keeping up with the two of them "Eh, she seem's fine."

Peridot and Lapis went to help the gems. Amethyst had her back to the wall fighting Pidge, Hunk and Kosmo, with Kosmo contently teleportning to surprise-attack Amethyst and Hunk shooting at her with his cannon. Pidge then to aim at Amethyst and fired her hook at her it was about to hit her when out of nowhere a frying pan intercepted the hook and knocked them both down mid-flight "A frying pan?" said Pidge.

The frying pan then levitated then this time made it's way to Hunk who was still distracted shooting at Amethyst to notice. the frying pan then hit Hunk in the head hard enough to get him to stop firing and for Amethyst to counterattack. Amethyst then used her flail-whip to his Hunk Back and then hit Pidge who got her shield out in time to soften the hit. Kosmo then tried to attack Amethyst only for the frying pan to hit him and throw him off course and land in the sand. "Amethyst!" called Peridot.

Amethyst turned to face Peridot "Peri? what you doing here?"

"Steven got us and it looks like you guys need my help yet again." Peridot said raising her arms in a cocky manner which made Amethyst frown.

Pidge and Hunk got up from the attack "Wait there's more of them." said Hunk.

Peridot turned to face them "You bet, you clods!" she shouted arrogantly. Peridot raised her levitated her frying pan which made hunk scoff "A frying pan really? you two are about to find out that their's only room for one cook in this kitchen..." Hunk raised his thumb to himself "Me!"

"Really, Hunk? Of all times!" yelled Pidge.

Hunk then scratched the back of his helmet "Sorry, just trying to sound tough." Pidge then growled at her teammate

Amethyst and Peridot got ready fight "Ready, Peri!?" Peridot smiled "Like you even need to ask."

Bismuth was dealing with lance and allura but their combined teamwork made it hard for her to take them on with lance contently shooting at her with his rifle and Allura whipping away at her. out of nowhere two hands of water grabbed both of them and lifted them in the air which caught bismuth by surprise "You, ok?" asked Lapis.

Bismuth gave her a thumbs up "Am, now."

Both Allura and Lance struggled to free themselves but to no avail. Allura then closed her eyes and focused while Lance continued to shout and struggle which made Allura annoyed "Lance!" she shouted.

"Will you stop shouting for one tick."

with that Lance stopped and Allura took a breath in and out and focused. suddenly their was a pink aura around Allura it caused the hand of water to vibrate and explode shocking both Bismuth and Lapis. ounce Allura made it to the ground she activated her whip and lashed at Lapis who bismuth push out of the way and blocked the whip. The Water hand holding lance disappeared and lance fell to the ground only for Allura to catch him before he hit it "Thanks." Lance side while blushing.

"Whow! didn't see that coming!" said Bismuth.

Garnet and Shiro continued the evenly match each other both of them not giving and inch. but Shiro could only do so much with one arm and Garnet use and opening she found to Punch back Shiro.

"Shiro!" Keith shouted.

"Keith, stay focused." said Krolia.

Pearl use the momentary distraction to shoot a lazer at Keith who Krolia managed to move out of the way in time. Keith and Krolia then charged at Pearl who had a hard time taking both of them on at ounce.

up from the balcony Steven and Connie saw the whole fight "Connie, we got to help Pearl." said Steven. Connie then nodded.

Krolia matched Pearl sword to spear. while Keith came out form behind Krolia. Krolia kicked Pearl back allowing Keith a momentary opening to charge at her with his sword ready to swing.

Keith was about to slash at pearl when out of know where a pink shield hit against the sword making Keith trip up and Pearl used the opening to kick Keith away. Keith then fell on the sand hard but much to his luck it wasn't very painful, as he's mother help him get up he saw Steven and Connie come to pearl's side "Steven, Connie what are you doing here? Go back to the house it's to dangerous." said Pearl.

"Maybe for us but not for Stevonnie." said Steven.

Keith and Krolia then saw Steven and Connie come forward, they thought that the two kids had been let free, but to their surprise both Steven and Connie started dancing which made them both confused. After they finished both of them were enveloped in a pink light that seemed to merged them together and created someone new that completely shocked both Keith and Krolia.

"Yeah! now it's Stevonnie's turn." said Stevonnie.

Both Keith and Krolia were still in shock after witnessing what just happened but they both got over it when Stevonnie lunched themselves a Keith. Keith barely had time to react and was knocked back by stevonnie's shield. Krolia then tried to attack them but her sword was blocked by their shield. Pearl then fired a lazer shot at Krolia who had to disconnect from Stevonnie to dodge only for Stevonnie to use the momentary opening to kick her back.

Keith then charged back at Stevonnie who managed to block his attack in time with their shield. Krolia tried to go help Keith but was stopped by another one of Pearl's lazer blasts. Krolia then looked at the direction Pearl was at and charged at her.

Everyone was in their own hard battle with each other Amethyst and Peridot were surprisingly holding their own against Hunk, Pidge and Kosmo when out of nowhere a lion roar came out of nowhere. the Paladin all looked at their lions but they were still offline. "hold on. if that didn't come from our lion then where did it come from?" asked Hunk.

Suddenly three pink ring knocked back Pidge, Hunk and Kosmo. when they got up they saw what looked like a pink lion "Another, lion!?" said Pidge.

which caught the attention of the other paladins. "Lion!" said Stevonnie.

"Another, lion?" said Allura.

"Allura!" said Lance.

"Theirs, no time for that now."

Lion then went to help Amethyst and Peridot by dealing with kosmo.

Back with Stevonnie and Keith the two seemed to be evenly matched "Wow, your good." said Stevonnie.

"Same to you." said Keith.

Both Stevonnie and Keith were head-to-head, neck-and-neck and matched each other sword-to-sword and even surprisingly even shield-to-shield "Tell me. why are you attacking us?" asked Stevonnie as their sword was currently crossed with Keith's

"We thought that that big monster was attacking this city." Keith answered trying to push back Stevonnie but to no avail.

"No she wasn't. she was protecting it from you and your big, metal, giant, robot, lion things."

Keith then took a moment. he let up on Stevonnie much to their surprise "Ok, then what about you or you two. aren't they holding you two against you will or something?"

Stevonnie then shock their head "No, their not. their our friends. they were protecting us from you and your robot when you tried to come after us."

"We were tring to get you two out of harms way." Both Keith and Stevonnie then took a moment to think and came to the conclusion that the whole thing was a misunderstanding. they then looked at the other's "Come on we've got to stop them." said Keith.

Stevonnie nodded their head. after that they made their way pearl and Krolia who were in the middle of their fight. the two of them charged at each other but to their surprise Keith and Stevonnie stopped both of them "Keith!?" said Krolia.

"Stevonnie!?" said Pearl.

"Why, are you-"

"Pearl this whole thing is a misunderstanding." said Stevonnie.

"What dose she or they mean a misunderstanding?" asked Krolia.

"We'll explain later. right now we need to get everyone to stop." said Keith.

Pearl and Krolia nodded. while they are still skeptical about it they went along with it and helped both Stevonnie and Keith. The other paladins and Gems were still fighting unaware that Keith, Stevonnie, Krolia and Pearl stopped. as the battle between them seemed to get more and more heated Garnet and Shiro were fighting near the lions "Your good." said Shiro.

"Not bad yourself." replayed Garnet.

as they fought they got closer to the lions, Garnet then fired her gauntlets at Shiro only for Shiro to dodge them and impacted on the black lion "No!" Shouted Shiro.

He then charged at Garnet to Attack her. Suddenly the black lion came online and it caught everyone's attention the lion then charged up it's mouth cannon and aimed at Garnet "Garnet!" Shouted Stevonnie as they ran to her.

"Stevonnie, get back!" shouted Garnet.

The black lion fired it's mouth cannon at Garnet. Stevonnie then made their way in front of Garnet summoned their shield and blocked the cannon which created a medium explosion. the black lion then powered down again and Everyone then gasped at the sight of Garnet and Stevonnie still alive after the smoke cleared with Stevonnie's shield now much larger. As their shield disappeared they fell to their knees and split back into Steven and Connie.

The gems and Paladins came to check on the two kids on the sand exhausted after blocking the shot from the black lion. Keith then came towards Steven and Connie only to be met with an threatening responds from Garnet "Garnet, wait." said Steven.

the other paladins all witnessed in shock over what just happened "Oh, man how did you two do that?!" asked Hunk.

"And were you two literally one person." asked Pidge.

"How are you two even Alive!?" asked Lance.

"Lance!" the paladins.

Steven and Connie looked at Keith who looked at them and nodded "Everyone, i think maybe we should talk." said Steven.
