Steven and the Gems sat in the dirt, surrounded by ruined machinery in the Kindergarten. They were also surrounded by Gemborgs, who stood erect, weapons at the ready. "Well, what do we do?" Amethyst asked. "What can we do?" Bloodstone asked. "We're surrounded by mindless killing machines controlled by a psychotic Jasper. I'm honestly amazed we're still alive." "Well, that's reassuring." Peridot said sarcastically. Then, they heard it. The TARDIS landing. "Now that's reassuring." Steven said. When the TARDIS materialized, Topaz poked his head out and used his screwdriver to shut down the Gemborgs temporarily. "Steven, catch!" He said, tossing the sonic screwdriver to Steven. Topaz then pulled his head back in, and the TARDIS took off again.
"Wait, I thought we were bringing Steven along to help find the Gems after they get captured." Lapis said. "We were." Topaz replied. "Then, while I was sonicing the Gemborgs, I realized that using the sonic screwdriver as a homing device would be an even better idea. If we brought Steven along, he wouldn't end up getting captured. He wouldn't be able to lock onto anything." "Then why couldn't we use Peridot's screwdriver?" Lapis asked. "She has an older model. I wouldn't be able to track it like I can with mine." Topaz answered. "And now we're gonna save the Gems and return the TARDIS to its rightful owner."
Yellow Diamond sat on her throne, waiting. The Doctor was still strapped to the chair, and the Gems were still in the cage. "He might not even come, you know." The Doctor said. "These pathetic little defects are worth more to him than anything in the universe." Yellow Diamond responded. "He'll come." "I felt the same about many people." The Doctor said. "And yet I'd move on every time." "That's why I'll never be the Doctor, though." A voice said from the back of the cell. Topaz stepped into the light. "Because I'd never leave them behind." He finished. "How did you get there?!" Yellow Diamond asked. Even the Gems were surprised. "I'm not in here." Topaz said. "I'm in the TARDIS. This is a holographic projection." The projection disappeared, and the TARDIS materialized between the Doctor and the cage. Topaz stepped out. "Okay, I'm just going to say it." He said. "Release my family, release the Doctor, and leave us alone." "Or else?" Yellow Diamond asked. "There is no 'or else'." Topaz replied. "I'm only giving you one choice." "You are in no position to be giving demands, defect." Yellow Diamond said. "Now that you've brought me what I want, I don't need your 'family' anymore. I could kill them right now." "You could, but I know you won't." Topaz said. "You're afraid of me. I can see it in your eye. The Daleks get the same look at the very mention of the Doctor." "I am not afraid of you!" Yellow Diamond said defensively. "I'll kill your friends right now!" She pulled a remote from her pocket. "No, Yellow Diamond, I don't think you will!" Topaz said, running at her. But he was too late. She pushed a button, and Steven, the Gems, and the Doctor cried out in pain. "No!" Topaz yelled. He turned to Yellow Diamond. "What have you done to them?!" He asked. "I injected them with nanobots set to kill them at the push of a button." Yellow Diamond answered, smiling. Lapis stepped out of the TARDIS and looked around. "What happened?!" She asked, horrified. "You failed, defects." Yellow Diamond said. Topaz fell to his knees, defeated. "So, Topaz," Yellow Diamond said. "What will you do now? Your family is gone forever. Beyond the point of regenerating." Topaz said nothing. "Go on. Say something." Yellow Diamond said. "I want to know what you have to say now that I've beaten you." Topaz clenched his fists and stood up. "I have nothing to say to you." He said. "And my family may be gone, but you haven't broken me yet." "What will you do?" Yellow Diamond asked confidently. "What can you do?" "My family was my whole world." Topaz said. "If you take away my world, I'll take away yours." Topaz turned and walked back towards the TARDIS. Yellow Diamond grabbed a gun next to her throne and pointed it at Topaz's Gem. But when she fired, she hit someone else. Topaz heard the gunshot and looked back. He saw Lapis lying behind him, a hole in her Gem. Tears filled Topaz's eyes. Rose stepped out of the TARDIS and saw the Gems, the Doctor, and Lapis dead. She looked at Yellow Diamond and glared. "You monster!" She yelled. "Hello, Rose Quartz." Yellow Diamond said. "I was just about to kill Topaz next. But now I think I should kill you and make him watch the life drain from your eyes!" Topaz had enough. "No more!" He yelled. "I won't let you kill anymore people! I am ending this right now!" He ran back to the TARDIS and took off. He then ran through the corridors until he found a storage room. He looked around until he found what he was looking for. "Here it is." He said. "The Moment."
