Hey guys! Sorry it's been such a long time. I suffered from a bit of writer's block on this story. I might release a few new chapters this weekend though, and I will soon be releasing two new stories as well.

Lapis was back on the launching deck in no time flat. She just landed next to the group and acted as if nothing had happened.

"Where have you been?" Peridot asked slightly angry as soon as Lapis landed.

"Nowhere," Lapis said with a giggle. "Just telling Greg about our awesome mission."

"You did what?" Peridot asked slightly confused.

"Just told Greg that Steven is going on the best mission ever!" Lapis exclaimed slightly sarcastic.

Peridot just sighed and went to the bridge to start the ship.

"I still can't believe I'm actually going into space and going to see the Earth!" Steven exclaimed still more excited than ever.

"Just remember, Steven, this mission could be really dangerous. You're going to have to be careful," Jasper said as they entered the ship.

"Don't worry. I'll be fine," Steven said in a reassuring way.

"You guys should stop worrying. We could just end up with a normal planet with nothing on it," Lapis said laying back on her ice wings like a hammock.

Peridot was about to respond when there was a notice coming from the bridge. An amethyst soldier was calling in to inform them that the informant was being sent to the launching deck.

Peridot sent a notice back saying they were ready to take off. In only one minute flat, the Amethyst acompanied by her Purple Pearl brought a blue Lapis Lazuli onto the ship and left her with the other gems.

"Well, she's the same gem as you, Lapis. Why don't you try talking to her," Peridot said giving Lapis a little push towards the informant.

Lapis approched the other Lazuli very slowly, while the other gems, including Steven, slowly stepped back. Before Lapis could tap her, the blue Lapis slowly got up. She was weak at first but gained her strength in a few seconds. When she was standing up, Lapis reatreated back and ducked behind Jasper.

"What do you want with me?" the blue Lapis asked slightly stern but also scared.

"Now, we don't want to make this any harder than it already is," Peridot stated calmly. "We just want to know where the rebels are so that we can get them off the planet, so we can stop the cluster from blowing up the place."

"What are you going to do to them?" the blue Lapis asked getting more frightened.

"We will not harm them unless they leave us no choice," Peridot said as calm as possible.

"Unless that Rose Quartz is still alive," Jasper commented from behind them. "After what she did to Homeworld and intended to do to the Earth, I'd like to beat her into the ground."

"Well, I didn't see a Rose Quartz," the blue Lapis said very quietly.

"Neither did I in the Kindergarten," Peridot said.

"What a shame," Jasper said.

The blue Lapis just stood there in silence. She looked at each gem in the ship. She eventually just sighed and decided to give them what they wanted.

"They are located in the Northern East Continent in a small economy by the shore in facet 5," Lapis regretfully said.

"We'll head out immediately," Peridot said running to the bridge with Jasper and Lapis right behind her. Steven was left alone in the room with the blue Lapis.

"If it makes you feel any better," Steven started off. "I could stop them from using any violence," he finished with a nervous smile.

"I don't think that it's me you will need to worry about," Lapis said in a stern way that somewhat starttled Steven. With that said, Lapis walked out of the room to join the others on the bridge.

Steven just stood there trying to copmrehend what Lapis could have meant by that.

"Come on, Steven! We're taking off!" Peridot called from the ship.

"Coming!" Steven called back and ran inside the bridge.

When the ship was taking off, and Stevenwas next to Jasper, he still couldn't get those few words the blie Lapis had said. "I don't think that it's me you will need to worry about." It just kept ringing over and over in his ears as they departed for the Earth.

Steven couldn't help but feel that there was something waiting for him on his home planet.
