(APlug Robonoidsplashes into the water near them.)

What the- Steven said.

What in the world is that thing? Jigen said.

(Water splashes onto Connie and Steven.)

Aahh! Connie and Steven both said.

(TheCrystal Gemsquickly exit the house to see what's happening.)

Amethyst What was that? Amethyst said.

I'm not sure what that thing is? Goemon said.

(Plug Robonoid rolls up to shore and grows its feet.)

It's one of the Marble Robots. Steven said.

What? Connie question Steven.

(Plug Robonoid starts approaching Steven andGarnetjumps and stops it with her gauntlets.)

AMETHYST!PEARL! Garnet yelled.

*blocks the robonoid from advancing*Amethyst and Pearl*

both come down from above and slams into the Plug Robonoid*

Huuuuuh- Yaaaaaah! Pearl and Amethyst both said.

(Steven activates his bubble to shield him and Connie.)

You okay? Steven asked Connie

I love hanging out at your place! Connie said amazed to Steven.

Pearl, do you think this was- Steven said to Pearl.

Pearl One ofPeridot's Machines? Pearl said to Steven.

Yes I think so, only... we've never seen one this big before. Pearl said.

Yeah...all the other one we saw before were small. Lupin added.

Or this gooey. Amethyst said.

*head to toe covered in goo*

Amethyst, we need to be careful we don't know what this stuff is. Pearl said to Amethyst.

Well this stuff is not toxic chemicals. Lupin replied to Pearl.

Well you are right. Pearl said to Lupin.

(Amethyst snickers and gets a mischievous look on her face.)

Oh no - Don't youdareget that stuff on me! Pearl said discussing to Amethyst.

Amethyst*spreads arms out wide and starts chasing Pearl*

Goop hug! Amethyst yells at Pearl.

(Pearl freaks out and runs away.)

(Amethyst chases Pearl off-screen.)

Amethyst*distantly*

COME HERE, PEARL! Amethyst said to Pearl. *off-screen*

Peridot. Is that the Gem you told me about? Connie said.

The one that's trying to come to Earth? Jigen said.

Yeah. We stopped her before but, I guess she can still shoot stuff here from space. Steven said.

Means that she will be sending more robots. Goemon said.

that will be a problem. Lupin replied to Goemon.

(Steven walks over to Garnet.)

So... what do you think it was here to do? Steven said to Garnet.

We destroyed it. Garnet replied to Steven.

*picks up a piece of the broken robonoid*

- that's all that matters. Garnet said.

*tosses it aside*

*Steven*nods* Hm!

Amethyst Goop hug!

*unsuspectedly hugs Garnet, distributing the goo*

(Pearl approaches covered in goo and looking bashful, then Garnet pulls her in so they can have a "goop hug".)

Lupin walked over to Pearl.

here's thing to clean your face. Lupin said to Pearl.

Pearl was blushing at Lupin.

Thank you Lupin. Pearl replied to Lupin.

Meanwhile at the police station.

inside in Inspector Zenigata office.

And then a police officer walked in.

is something you need to say? Inspector Zenigata question The Police officer.

Well sir, here's has been a meteor that crashed landed on Beach City. The Police officer replied to Inspector Zenigata.

I see, I'll go alone. Inspector Zenigata said to The Police officer.

Inspector Zenigata walked outside his office and got inside his police car and drive to Beach City.

could this be other one of Lupin's tricks? Inspector Zenigata said to himself.

While back at the temple.

Lupin was still fixing his car.

unlit a police car came by.

well, hey there pop's. Lupin said to Inspector Zenigata.

Ok, Lupin, what are you up to? Inspector Zenigata said to Lupin.

I'm not up to anything, I'm just fixing my car. Lupin replied back to Inspector Zenigata.

Ok then, what about the meteor? Inspector Zenigata question Lupin.

about the meteor, it wasn't a meteor, it was a robot. Lupin said to Inspector Zenigata.

a robot, huh? Inspector Zenigata said confused.

just then they both heard *rumbling sounds*

(Another shooting noise and impact sound is heard.)

Hey boss! other one just came! Jegin shouted to Lupin.

Ok! We be there! Lupin shouted back to Jegin

Lupin put on his jacket, Lupin and Inspector Zenigata ran to the Warp pad.

at the Desert.

(All Gems are fighting the Plug Robonoid.)

Lupin and his gang ran towards the fight.

Stop! - coming! - here! - you! - stupid! - balls! Pearl said.

*sitting on top of the Robonoid, stabbing it with her spear with each word*

Yeah! Let it out! Get crazy! Amethyst said.

*tries to pull it back with her whip wrapped around it* Hua! *robonoid tugs forward*

Guys, guys, guys! Stop! Steven said flails his arms.

(The Gems pause and look at him.)

How many more of these things are you gonna have to fight? Steven said.

*stressed* We don't know! They just keep COMING and COMING and we don't even know what they ARE! - We don't know anything! Pearl said.

Hey guys! Lupin shouted to them.

(The Gems was Lupin and his gang)

That's okay - I don't know anything all the time, it's like my whole life. But I have you guys to tell me about tell me about Gem stuff, Connie can explain what familiars are, and Dad tells me weird dad nobody knows what these things are here to - it probably does. Steven explains to them.

*points at the robonoid*

What? Pearl said.

We could follow it and see where it Steven said.

are you NUTS?! Amethyst said.

Who knows what could go wrong? Pearl said.

We can't keep fighting these things forever - Well, we can...but I don't want to. Let's do it Steven's ! Garnet said.

Let's follow the funky flow. Steven said waves his arms around.

We're are Garners. Jigen said.

We're dead. Amethyst said.

(All Gems and Lupin and his gang hop onto the Plug Robonoid.)

Alright big guy - MUSH! Steven said.

*pats the robonoid*

Woaaah... Uggh...Gems said.

Uh-heh-heh. Woohoo! Steven said.

(All stand on warp then the Plug Robonoid warps.)

at the Kindergarten.

They all gasp in horror.

Uhh...what is this place. Lupin said.

Garnet Kindergarten... Garnet said.

PearlOh, why here? This site has been damaged enough by the Gems that were incubated here 6,000 years ago! That's it! It's confirmed. These things are up to no good Pearl said summoning her spear.

Steven*stops her* Wait! We don't even know what it's doing here? Can't we just... see where it wants to go?

Garnet? Pearl said to Garnet.

Hmm... Steven's way. Garnet said.

(Pearl sighs and the spear slowly retracts into Pearl's gem.)

(The robonoid jumps down to ground level and continues walking.)

Whoa! They all said.

What does it want here? Pearl asked.

Maybe it just wants to see where Amethyst was. Steven said.

This is most Creepiest place ever. Inspector Zenigata said.

it should mind its own don't like this at all... Amethyst said.

But...Amethyst Steven said to Amethyst.

Yeah...The place kind of look more of a graveyard. Lupin said terrified.

Amethyst looks at Steven.

I'm kinda with Pearl on this. Amethyst said.

come on, can't you feel this guy's funky flow? He's a funk master. Steven said.

*pats robonoid*

I can't believe we're doing this. Pearl said wired.

(The robonoid stops.)

Why'd you stop, li'l buddy? Steven asked.

Something's happening. Garnet said.

(Garnet grabs Steven as the Pearl grads Lupin Inspector Zenigata, Jigen, Goemon and Amethyst jumps off.)

(The Plug Robonoid opens a pyramid-shaped hole in the ground and changes shape to accommodate it.)

Steven*pupils turn star shaped* Yesss!

Dear Lord! Jigen said.

it's transformed. Goemon said.

This is just getting weirder by the second. Lupin said.

(The Plug Robonoid begins to descend into the ground.)

See? I knew we'd find something cool... Let's go! Steven said.

(Steven jumps into the hole and lands on the Plug Robonoid. The other Gems follow.)

Hey guys! Going down? ... Are you okay? Steven said to them.

Pearl was staring at wires lining the walls.

What is all this? Pearl said in shock.

I knew it! Inspector Zenigata and Lupin Both said.

it was a secret underground hideout, where none can it. Lupin explains to them.

How did you know? Pearl asked Lupin.

some of my enemies have an secret underground hideout. Lupin replied to Pearl.

(Elevator stops as control room glows and a control panel arises, the Plug Robonoid sacrifices it's bottom tip to form aHand Robonoidthat activates thepedestaland turns on a static monitor screen. A few moments later, the monitor reveals Peridot who proceeds to look to her left and right. All the Gems, startled by Peridot's image, jump off to hide.)

Established Gem Projection Link with control room. Plug Robonoid has successfully landed on Planet Earth and entered Prime Kindergarten Control Roomin Facet Five. Will proceed to perform status check of Peridot said.

*whispers* It's *gasps* *whispers*

Is she trying to re-activate the Kindergarten? Doesn't she know it'll destroy all life on Earth?! Pearl said in horror.

Why don't we ask her? Steven said.

GarnetShh - Steven, we're facing an enemy we don't know with technology we don't understand. Garnet whiper to Steven.

This isn't the time to be asking sounds like it is... Garnet said whipping.

Ok - here's the plan: We can't let her see us, so we wait for an opening. When she's distracted, we destroy the power source on the far wall. Steven stays here! Garnet explains to them.

(Pearl and Amethyst nod in approval of the idea, then pans to Steven running up to Peridot.)

Steven! Crystal Gems whisper shouts.

Hey! where Lupin and the others? Amethyst whisper to them.

(When Pearl and Garnet turned round Lupin and his gang were gone.)

PeridotNow accounting for all operationalInjectors. Checking for aberrations in perimeter.

(Two spots on the floor begin to glow white, and two large green hand constructs emerge from them. The hands activate a pair of panels on the ceiling which causes cylinders to eject from the ceiling.)

Ugh, this Gem Tech is simply don't know. Peridot said.

I think it looks pretty cool. Steven said

(There was silences.)

(Peridot abruptly cancels all she was doing and the monitor turns to face Steven.)

Hi! I'm Steven. Steven said to Peridot

appears to be an infestation of "Stevens" in the planet. Peridot said.

I'm not so bad once you get to know me! Steven said to Peridot

And how many more Stevens are present in this area? Peridot said to Steven.

Oh - just -ah, that's a relief. So tell me - Have Stevens replaced humans as the dominant species on Earth? Oh no - there's lots of humans, there's my dad, Connie,Lars and Sadie, themailman,Onion... I think... lots of ...Steven said.

Now I get to ask a question, what are you doing? Steven asked Peridot.

Hm, just picking up where we left off. Peridot said to Steven.

(Peridot's monitor faces away from Steven. Peridot raises a hand above Steven and forms a fist, then attempts to crush him. Garnet catches the fist and throws it.)

(Peridot's monitor turns back. Peridot looks surprised by Garnet's presence.)

A Gem! Peridot said.

(Amethyst and Pearl jump up.)

Ah! More? But the Red Eye didn't report the presence of any Gems on this planet! Peridot said.

Pearl was blushing.

That's because we destroyed it. Pearl said to Peridot.

That's right, we trash your little mechanical toys. Lupin said to Peridot.

Wait a minute..Your that with the green jacket. Peridot said to Lupin.

what? But the records say that Gems were wiped out on earth... wait a minute... you're the ones that have been destroying my Plug Robonoids... are you the reason the Home world Warp is down again? Is THIS your bizarre icon? Peridot said angrily.

*shows them the Crying Breakfast Friends sticker*

Uhrooh! Why do you keep destroying my THINGS?! Peridot said angrily.

Pearl was still blushing.

Because we are the Crystal Gems! We're still alive, and we're still the guardians ofthis planetand all its living creatures! Pearl yelled to Peridot.

The Crystal Gems? Peridot said.

(All Gems abruptly jump and attack Peridot's giant hovering hand constructs.)

Stop! How dare you? I'm doing this one way or another. You're just... making it... really... difficult! Peridot said angrily.

Amethyst, now! Garnet said.

Destroy! Amethyst said.

(Amethyst uses her whip to grab a hand and throw it at the power source, breaking it.)

I'm reporting this! Peridot said.

(Peridot's Screen Transmission disappears.)

Is it over? Amethyst said.

(The other Gems walk over to Steven and stare at him.)

Okay... I, I might have gone a little too far this. Steven said.

you weren't completely wrong. We learned something new because of your safety! Steven said.

But yeah, this was a pretty bad man... Garnet said.
