"Ah the Fentons, I've been expecting you." The master of time said without even turning around to face the angry mother.

To say she was angry will not cover it, Madeline Fenton, or as everyone called, her Maddie was livid. The ghost in front of her treated the situation so casually as if he was treating a kid throwing a tantrum or sharing his candy. No one is going to keep her away from her boy and if he thinks he can just act as if she was invisible, boy was he in for it.

"To what do I owe the pleasure of this visit?" he asked

"You know damn well why I'm here spook, where is my boy?"

"He is no longer here." He simply said

"What do you mean he is not here, did you kill him?" Tucker asked, barely able to hold himself together from fear, he knew that the last they were here he was going easy on them. The way he allowed Tucker to yank the scythe out of his hand showed the boy that if Clockwork went easy and if they anger him here, there was a high possibility that they will not see Danny ever again.

"Do not fret, young Blue Quartz is not dead."

"Clockwork, you know damn well why we are here."

"I'm afraid you have to clarify Jack."

"Don't call me by my name spook, give me back my son or you will suffer the consequences."
"I'm afraid that it is no longer an option." Clockwork said bluntly

Without a warning Maddie shot him with her ecto gun, it was useless to do so as Clockwork dodged the shot with ease.

"I believe such act of violence is unnecessary." The time master said

"I don't have time for your shit spook, GIVE ME BACK MY SON OR YOU DIE." The mother spat.

"What is done cannot be reversed, as much as I want Young Danny to be present with us I can't bring him back for he is now beyond my authority."

They wanted to talk but the time master glared at them, shutting them up and preventing from saying more words.

"Do not think for a second that I did not wish that he was here, that I did not have to send him away but I had no choice, he knew that and he was okay with it. He recorded few videos for you before he went away and that is all I can say, for now, I promised him he could visit once I finish repairing the damage he and he future self-did to the time line but only once and after that, he will be gone forever. IS THAT CLEAR."

Clockwork left no room for debate; he took out the memory card and magically duplicated it. He told them that every memory card has a video Danny recorded for each one of them, he gave each of them one and opened a portal to the human world. The shock they got from his harsh words left them with no will to object, even if they managed, somehow to hurt him they will not be getting Danny back.

When they got back to their house, they immediately went to the nearest computer, all eager to see the last memory of their Danny, the boy who sacrificed his own existence for the sake of theirs and to spare the world from falling into the hands of his evil future self. They did not understand how he could just throw himself in the face of danger but now they did, in sacrificing his own life the fate of billions is safe. The first to get to watch their video were his parents, the video began with Danny adjusting the camera that kept floating to the side.

"GOD, this stupid thing is going to drive me crazy," Danny said with an annoyed look on his face, the soon to be former half-breed managed to hold the damn thing in place.

"Imagine what would they do to me if I went to the space program and they found out I can't handle a simple camera," Danny said as he steadied himself and sat on the chair behind him.

"Oh GOD, don't tell me that this thing has been recording the whole time, sometimes I feel so stupid. Anyway, mom and dad, just forget what you saw you people, if you see the video it means that I no longer exist in this universe. As much as this hurts, the fact that I won't be able to return breaks my heart, I know that I'm being a little bit too sentimental but this is the last time I might speak to you guys, well maybe not in person but I know you get the idea. I wish that it would not come to this but I cannot change fate, I am ok with it and I do not regret the decision that I made in the slightest. I hope that you do not understand this the wrong way but I had to do what I had to do, Clockwork said that I will have a good life in this whole new universe but I think that it will be dull without you to be by my side. I wish that you guys would come with me but this is how things are supposed to be, the last thing I want you to do and Plz don't disappoint me is to live on without me. Do not grieve me or blame yourself for me being gone. I will have a blue gemstone on my forehead just so you can know me as Clockwork said that I will be something different, he did not give me a single detail but I hope with time that thing will be more clear, now if you excuse me I have to go."

With those last words, the video ended leaving the whole group crying, as they could not control their emotions. The whole thing took its toll on them. They decided to make the video public, as everyone in Amity Park deserved to know or needed to know who saved them, his bullies and the people who made fun of him and harassed him needed to learn the fact that the person who they thought that they were better than he was saved them.

Beach city, 6 days after Blue Quartz incubation

The morning was the favorite time for Steven universe, he loves the peace and quiet despite the fact that he is an energetic and possibly hyperactive person he is. After he woke up, he remained in bed for a while, looking out from his window to see the beautiful view of the sea, he always loved waking up to that no matter what season it was. The minute he got out of bed, he washed his face and brushed his teeth.

"I wonder what I have in the fridge, some cereal should be good." He thought as he went to the fridge for milk.

"Gems, I need all of you now." Garnet said he thought that she only meant Amethyst and pearl until he heard her talk again "That means you too Steven." She added, the boy gasped in joy and ran to meet his extraterrestrial caretakers.

"Do we have a new mission? Is it in space? Is it underwater?" he asked enthusiastically.

"Simmer down Steven, we do have a mission but it is kinda of complicated."

"Ok sorry, what is the mission then?" The boy asked barely containing his excitement.

"I had a vision, yesterday when I was taking a walk on the beach I think I saw something. It startled me at the beginning seeing that no one was there I thought I was just hearing things; I kept walking until I felt something. It was fear; it was not me but something else. I never felt this way in my entire life, someone was out there and he or she was so scared and it pained me that I was not able to reach and help them. I focused for a couple of minutes and I located where the fear was originating from and it was from the prime kindergarten. Something keeps blocking me from getting a clear image on what is going on but I intend to find out, so are you with me ?"

"Are you seriously asking, come on Garnet you know that we are always with you," Amethyst said while giving Garnet thumbs up

Garnet smiled, she knew that what Amethyst said was not out of loyalty to her as leader of the crystal gems but out of love and respect to her. She knew that she is all they got and they are all she has left in this world.

"Alright gems, here is what we have to do. Steven, you go to Greg and tell him to get Period to come, I think we are going to need her and the rest of us will go to the kindergarten."

At the prime kindergarten

When Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl warped to the kindergarten a sudden wave of cold air hit them, the cold did not bother them but something felt off about it. The way the cold air was coming out felt alive.

"Are you thinking what I am thinking Garnet?" Pearl said grimly.

"Yes Pearl, I think that there is a gem in here."

"How can you two tell, all I see is cold weather nothing more nothing less," Amethyst said.

"Oh Amethyst, you are short sighted. This cold weather is associated with a gem that has ice related abilities like Sapphire and from the pattern of these cold waves I think the gem in question is scared or making us believes that she is scared."

"If you think that this is a home-world related gem then you are wrong. They never came back after we drove them off the earth and I doubt that they will, there is, however, a possibility that one of the injectors reactivated and injected a gem into the ground."

"The injectors need manual interference to be activated or a big jolt of energy to be activated and we are in the middle of summer and I doubt that even if they were activated that they will incubate any gem because we emptied them of every gemstone they had over a thousand years ago," Pearl added

"That might be true if there is a gem we must do what it takes to take her down if she is serving home-world. If this is just a corrupted gem we poof her and we go home, but right now, we wait for Steven and Period to get here." Garnet said, suddenly the warp pad came to life. When the light died down, they saw Steven and Peridot approaching them.

"Hey guys, why is it so cold like this?" Asked the boy as he stepped down from the warp pad

"We don't know yet but we think that it's a gem causing this weird climate changes," Pearl answered him

"How is it a gem when you told me that this place hasn't been active for over millennia."

"We do not know if it's a gem or a corrupted gem but we intend to find out, that's why we asked you to get Peridot."
"Well I believe you were right about consulting me," Peridot said with a smug look on her face.

"Our best hope right now is to follow the cold, the colder it gets the closer we get to the source of all of this. I'm sorry Steven but you have to go back, the cold is too much for a human." The fusion said

"But I want to help, please."

"I know you do Steven, I know that you are a gem but this is too dangerous. I hope you understand that this is for you own good."

"I guess you are right, but I want a souvenir." The demi gem said as he hugged Garnet and then sped back to the warp pad.

The gems advanced, they went deeper into the kindergarten until they reached the source of all the cold weather they saw earlier. It was a spot in the wall glowing blue and emanating cold air. Peridot immediately knew that this was a gem in its final incubating period, it was too late now and this new gem will come out any moment now.

The cold waves intensified, nearly knocking the four gems down but they stood their ground. With a sudden burst of light, t a gem got out of the exit hole, she was a quartz gem. A eight-foot tall blue haired quartz gem with a gemstone that they never saw before, this was the first time they see an unknown and possibly a new type of quartz. The quartz dropped on both of her hands and feet, she was confused looking at her finger and moving them as if she just discovered that they were there. The blue haired quartz was checking out her body until she noticed the four gems standing in front of her.

"Hi, I'm Blue Quartz and who are you?" She said cheerfully.

Wow, this chapter is finally over and I am glad that happened. I know that Clockwork's encounter with the Fentons is short and I have an explanation for that, he feels guilty about all of this and making him go through all of that is a jerk move. This chapter is the last time the Fentons or any ghost related stuff will appear on this fanfic as Blue Quartz as she starts her life in this new earth. Now to answer some questions, this is totally a different time line from the original cartoon and her powers will be something you have to read about in the few next chapters. I have an announcement; after this and my other story ends; I will be writing a *what if* Story based on this idea. It will have a different take on how things went out, what if Blue Quartz never met the crystal gem and how things will go for her and the first chapter will be on the first day of 2018. I cannot give you more details but I promise that it will be worth it. Have a good day every one.
