Steven awoken from his slumber and saw topaz was sitting at the table again. He saw she had some sort of weird spiked thing in her hands. "What's that?" Steven asked. Topaz put it down and rushed over to him.
"That was the first thing I needed to make the medicine for the gems." Topaz beamed as Steven was still trying to wake up.
"There are two more ingredients that are left that I know of." Topaz said.
"One of them is a cygem eye." Topaz said as she started walking toward the warp pad.
"What's a cygem?" Steven asked chasing after topaz.
"Ha-ha don't worry you will see when we get there." Topaz said.
"So where are we going?" Steven asked.
"Its a place called Carnesville. Its not really a ville, Its more of a plain really." Topaz said.
"I haven't been there since..." Topaz trailed off leaving Steven confused.
When they finally arrived at their destination, Steven was amazed. There was miles and miles of just soft luscious green grass. "So where are the cygem?" Steven asked. Topaz smiled and picked up a rock.
"Watch this Steven." Topaz proceeded to take the rock and threw it as far as she could.
Steven was watching the rock as it started to fall toward the ground. A loud metal noise echoed throughout the plains. Steven held on topaz as the ground began to shake.
"Steven look over there."Topaz pointed toward a section of the plains.
Steven turned around and saw something was moving. A few moments passed and Steven saw a giant creature stand up. The creature had brown skin that was in an x pattern. The creatures hands were black in color and were bigger than its whole body. This creature only had one eye and it was a black gem.
"What is that?" Steven asked.
"That's a cygem silly. It's probably one of my favorite creatures ever." Topaz answered.
"There's just something about how it looks that intrigues me." Topaz said.
"So what did you say you wanted from it again?" Steven asked trying to remember what it wants.
"Oh I need its eye." Topaz answered.
Steven looked at topaz and horror filled his eyes.
"I-It's e-eye?" Steven asked.
"Yeah its eye." Topaz answered.
"Isn't that going to kill it?" Steven looked at topaz and back at the creature.
"Yeah it will but there are plenty of them.
One dying wont make that much of a difference."
Steven was horrified at what he was hearing.
"No I won't allow you to hurt him." Steven grabbed topaz's legs and sat down.
"Steven calm down I have to. If I don't how else am I going to get the medicine I need?"
Topaz asked. Steven only hugged her legs tighter. Topaz sighed.
"Look Steven, If you don't let me go, Ill have to make you go to sleep." Topaz warned.
"please topaz I'm begging you." Steven pleaded.
"Sorry Steven." Topaz raised her hand and slapped Steven across his face.
He immediately let go and fell toward the ground.
"I'm sorry Steven but this is necessary for me to do this"
Topaz pulled her sword out of her gem and jumped toward the awoken cygem. She landed on it's head and caused it to startle. "There there cygem this will only take one second to do." Topaz took her sword and stabbed it in the cygem's head. Topaz held on to sword as the cygem began to stumble. It's cries were piercing throughout the land. "Ugh shut up already." Topaz pulled her sword out and stabbed the cygem's eye. She tried to keep her balance but the cygem was moving all around. Topaz went flying into the sky. Her sword was still attached to the cygem's eye. Topaz hit the ground sending a shock wave throughout the whole plains. The cygem began stumbling toward where Steven was laying. Topaz tried to move but her body wouldn't move.
"Hematite!" Topaz screamed.
She fell backwards and her eyes became heavy. Topaz's eyes weren't closed for long before she could open them again. She turned her head and saw Steven was lying next to her. Topaz breathed a sigh of relief and tried to get up.
"This body." Topaz mumbled under her breath.
She sat up and saw the cygem's eye was detached from the body.
"Mission accomplished." Topaz said as she ran toward the large gem.
The cygem's eye had a crack in it but Topaz didn't mind. She went over to the dead cygem and pulled her sword out of its head. Topaz then proceeded to put the cygem eye on the ground. She raised her sword over her head and stabbed the cygem eye. The gem broke into 6 even pieces. Topaz picked up one and put it under her arm. She walked over to where Steven was laying and picked him up using her free hand. She walked toward the warp pad. When she was on the warp pad she looked back at the dead cygem.
When they returned to the house, Topaz put Steven gently on the sofa. She put the cygem piece next to her starfish spike on the table.
"Just one more and I can finally make the gem removal serum." Topaz looked over at Steven who was still knocked out.
"I think I'm going to get the last thing alone. Steven isn't going to be waking up soon."Topaz said to herself.
"Ill just disable the warp pad so he can't leave here." Topaz shook her head as she stepped on the warp pad.
When she disappeared Steven opened his eyes. He had heard everything Topaz said.
"I have to escape from here." Steven thought to himself.
He got up and ran toward the warp pad. He tried to warp but it was no use.
"I don't know where I will go but I have to escape." Steven thought as he ran toward the front door.
When he opened the front door Steven's jaw dropped. Instead of the usual deck with the beach in front of him, The water was blood red with the sand being a dark black color. The sky was a faded gray color with no clouds at all. The wind was blowing hard against Steven's face causing it to hurt.
"Where am I?" Steven asked to himself.
As he took a few steps the wind blew harder. Steven was having a hard time trying to walk to the railing. The more steps he took toward the railing the harder the wind blew.
"Ugh if I take anymore steps the wind will blow me away." Steven sighed to himself.
When he took a step backwards the wind slowed down a bit. Steven took a deep breath and slowly started backing up. The closer he got to the door the more calm the wind got. Soon the wind completely died down as Steven stepped back inside the house.
"I guess going outside isn't an option either." Steven was dumbfounded on what he should do.
Steven started walking around the room trying to figure out what he was going to do. Steven finally decided he was going to try and attack topaz.
"There's no way she would kill me. She would of done it sooner." Steven thought as he looked around looking for any weapons he could use.
He went to the kitchen and pulled out a frying pan. Steven was planning on surprise attacking topaz. Steven walked to the back of the warp pad and sat down. He was going to wait for topaz to show up. Seconds turned to minutes which turned into hours. Steven could feel his eyes begin to get heavy. He shook his head and opened his eyes.
"I need to stay awake and get topaz." Steven mumbled.
Two more hours passed by and Steven's eyes became so heavy he couldn't open them again. Steven heard a noise and opened his eyes. Through his blurry vision he could see topaz warping in. Steven jumped toward her and swung the frying pan. Topaz heard him and turned around. She grabbed Steven wrists and flung him towards the door. Steven hit the wall and fell to the ground.
"Look Steven I don't think you should do that." Topaz said as she was walking toward the table.
Steven got up and ran towards her.
"Why am I here?" Steven asked.
"I want to go home." Topaz pulled out her sword and swung.
Steven blocked her with his shield.
Topaz was shocked as Steven's gem started glowing.
"Where is your home then?" Topaz asked with a smirk.
"Its with the..." Steven started struggling trying to think of the names.
"Ugh why cant I think of the names of the people. Suddenly Steven could remember the names.
"The crystal gems." Steven said.
Topaz was taken aback by Steven.
"Impossible." Topaz mumbled to herself.
Steven was beginning to remember things.
"You wont get away with this, The crystal gems will come save me I just know it." Steven said.
Topaz looked at Steven and tears began to form. "Steven you don't understand the truth." Topaz started.
"I'm protecting you." Topaz said.
"Protecting me from what?" Steven asked.
Topaz looked up at him as a tear fell down her cheek.
"...Steven there are some things you don't know about the crystal gems..."
"THEN WHY DON'T YOU TELL ME THEN." Topaz was very shocked at steven's tone.
"Actually Its much better if I show you instead." Topaz reached her hand toward Steven but he smacked it away.
"Do not touch me at all." Steven warned.
Topaz sighed.
"Give me a few minutes then." Topaz walked toward the table with her stuff from the missions and picked them up.
She went into one of the doors on the in the back of the house. Steven took the opportunity to step on the warp pad. Fortunatly for him the warp pad actually worked. Steven then began to warp away from the house. Topaz came out and saw Steven was warping away. She ran towards him but she was too late.
"No I have to get him back." Topaz screamed internally.
She put the vial in her pocket and stepped on the warp pad.
Pearl was studying Steven as he was eating the waffles.
"Pearl what makes you think that Topaz would just give Steven back to us?" Garnet asked.
"Honestly it was the look in her eyes. She just gave me the look as if she was truly going to give Steven back." Pearl answered.
Amethyst was still severely injured even though Steven "Healed" her.
"I guess Steven lost his healing powers." Pearl commented.
"I'm the future." Steven said. Pearl shot him a confused look.
"What do you mean?" Steven stood up and proceeded to lift his shirt up.
His gem was no longer in his belly button.
"Where is your gem!?" Pearl was alarmed.
"Topaz took it. Garnet looked over at pearl who was shocked as well.
"What do you mean topaz took it?" Garnet asked.
"Topaz took my gem becau..." Steven stopped talking. His eyes went black and his body began to fade away.
Pearl dropped to her knees and began crying.
"How could I get fooled again?" Pearl asked.
Garnet put a hand on pearl's shoulder.
"Its ok pearl we will get the real Steven back eventually." Garnet tried to comfort pearl.
"Eventually is not soon enough." pearl was crying.
"Look don't worry Steven is OK. I may not be able to see it but I can sense he is just fine." Garnet said.
"As soon as Amethyst wakes up we will go look for him once and for all."
Garnet said before walking to her room.
