Warping felt so strange to Lars. It made him feel like he was lighter than air. He flipped and spun around in the warp stream until the stream ended and he landed on another warp.

Lars stood up and dusted himself off. He looked around at his surroundings. It looked as if he was in some kind of Jungle environment.

"Where am I?" Lars asked himself as he walked forward. Is this Masked…" Before Lars could finish his sentence he slipped on a steep hill and rolled down it until he hit someone. He got up to see what looked like a green gem, but she was around his size. She had dark green hair put up in several points. Her skin was a litter shade of green. She was wearing a green jumpsuit with a yellow diamond on it. Plus, to top it all off she had a green gem where her right eye was supposed to be.

The gem bared her teeth at Lars as she approached him. Lars was surprised to see that the gem had extremely sharp teeth.

"What are you doing here, Crystal Gem?" she asked in a demanding way.

"She must be one of the Homeworld Gems Mom warned me about," Lars thought to himself.

As the gem moved, Lars moved along with her to make sure he never had his back facing her.

"What are doing?" the gem asked in a more confused way.

"My mom says to never turn your back on a Homeworld Gem," Lars said.

"Do you always do what your mom tells you?" the gem asked in a mocking way.

"No," Lars said.

"Bet you do," the gem said. "I bet your mommy's little boy." She laughed walking over to look at the view of the island they were on. "A Homeworld Gem doesn't need anyone. I look after myself."

"Well, I guess some gems have all the luck," Lars said following behind her.

The gem turned around with a smirk, bit quickly faded when she saw an approaching corrupted gem. Her jaw dropped as she started to scream. Lars turned around and screamed at the corrupted gem behind him.

The two quickly ran off with the monster following behind them. They kept running until the came to face a cliff.

"What do we do?" the gem asked.

"There," Lars said as he pointed to a large branch broken off of a tree. "We can use that to climb to the top."

Lars ran over and started to move the branch in a position to climb it. The gem started to run in another direction when the corrupted gem got closer.

"What are you doing?" Lars asked.

"I'll hold it off," the gem said. "You get the branch in position."

Lars didn't argue. He continued to move the branch until he saw more corrupted gems coming the gem's way.

"Hey!" Lars called out. "Hey! There's more!"

The gem barely had any time to react as one of the monsters nearly bit down on her. Lars jumped from the branch, landing on the corrupted gem's head, shutting its giant mouth.

"Come on!" Lars exclaimed grabbing the gem's hand and running for the branch he set up. The two quickly climbed to the top of the cliff, and Lars kicked the branch down preventing the monsters from following them.

Lars and the gem looked down to see the corrupted gems at the bottom of the cliff growling and snapping their teeth at them.

"I did it," Lars quietly said to himself. "I did it!" Lars stuck out his tongue at the monsters and the gem next to him laughed at them.

The two walked further away from the drop of the cliff, laughing.

"That was so awesome!" Lars exclaimed. "They were all like 'grr' and I was all like 'yeah' and you…" Lars paused looking at the gem. "You were really brave."

"Yeah?" the gem asked. "You weren't so bad yourself. My name's Emerald."

"I'm Lars," Lars said.

As the two continued to talk, a gem was watching nearby from behind a tree. She growled in the back of her throat at the display before her.

As the two finished laughing Lars quickly tapped Emerald on the arm and back up. "You're it!" he said. Emerald didn't move. Lars tapped her again. "You're it!" Emerald still didn't move.

"Hello?" Lars said. "You run. I tag. Get it?" Emerald just gave Lars a confused look.

"What's the matter?" Lars asked. "Don't you know how to play?" When Emerald still didn't respond, Lars assumed that meant "no".

"Come on," Lars said. "You just goof off. Like this." He bared his teeth and pretended to go into a fighting stance.

Emerald just shrugged and bared her teeth in a playful way, too.

Suddenly, Rose jumped in front of Lars holding her sword and summoning her shield.

A shrunken yellow gem came out from her hiding spot, jumping in front of Emerald, lighting up with yellow electricity.

"Yellow," Rose said.

"Rose," Yellow Diamond said with an evil smile on her face. The smile faded when she saw Rose wasn't alone.

"Renegade," Yellow Diamond said acknowledging Pearl.

"Yellow Diamond," Pearl said.

"Rutiles, Fluorite, Rhodonite, Padparadscha," the right Rutile said. "Great. Now that we all know each other… get off of our planet!"

"Your planet?" Yellow Diamond asked in a menacing way. "This planet belonged to Pink Diamond."

"We won the war for this planet," Rose said. "It shall take no more damage from you or your gemling. Get out!"

"Oh," Yellow Diamond said. "Haven't you met my daughter: Emerald. She was chosen by Pink Diamond herself to take back our planet and become a mighty commander."

Emerald shook as the rebels looked at her.

"Ha," the left rutile said. "That's no commander. That's a green maraca."

"Emerald was the last created before our resources reached low standards," Yellow Diamond said.

"You know the punishment should any of you return to this planet," Rose said.

"But the gemling does not," Yellow Diamond said. "However, if you need your pound of shards, here." Yellow Diamond pushed Emerald towards Rose. Emerald continued to shake in fear as Yellow Diamond looked at Rose with a malicious smile.

"Take her and get out," Rose said placing her sword in her scabbard, picking up Lars, and turning around to go home.

Yellow Diamond pick up Emerald and started to walk in the opposite direction of the rebels.

"Bye," Lars whispered looking at Emerald.

"Bye," Emerald whispered back as they were taken away in different directions.

Notes:

Emerald is a gelling in this. Pink Diamond picked her gem when she still didn't exist. Emerald wasn't made until seven years ago. Emerald and Lars are the same age in this. Yellow Diamond had shrunk down in order to stay out of sight.

This is heavily based on a movie. Points to whoever can figure out which.
